Sessemon shook her hand it was some time before she was allowed to leave however because the grandmother thanked her over and over again and invoked all heaven's blessings on her and her house mrs. Sessemon and his mother went on down while Clara was carried up to spend her last night in the hut next morning Clara shed hot tears at parting from the beloved place where such gladness had been hers Heidi consoled her with plans for the coming summer that was to be even more happy than this one had been mrs. Sessemon then arrived and a few last parting words were exchanged Clara half crying suddenly said please give my love to Peter and the goats Heidi please greet swan especially from me for she has helped a great deal in making me well what could I give her you could set her salt Clara you know how far she is of that advised little Heidi oh I will surely do that Clara assented I'll send her a hundred pounds of salt as a remembrance from me it was time to go now and Clara was able to ride proudly beside her father standing on the edge of the slope her eyes following Clara till she had disappeared the bed has arrived grandmother sleeps so very well every night now that before long she will be stronger than ever grand mama has not forgotten the cold winter on the Alps and to send a great many warm covers and shawls to the goat herds hut grandmother can wrap herself up now and will not have to sit shivering in a corner in the village a large building the doctor has arrived and is living it present in his old quarters he has taken the uncle's advice and has bought the old ruins that sheltered Heidi and her grandfather the winter before he is rebuilding for himself the portion with the fine apartment already mentioned the other side is being prepared for Heidi and her grandfather the doctor knows that his friend is an independent man and likes to have his own dwelling barely and swanly of course are not forgotten and the winter in a good solid stable that is being built for them the doctor and the Almonk will become better friends every day when they overlook the progress of the building they generally come to speak of Heidi they both look forward to the time when they will be able to move into the house with their merry charge they have agreed to share together the pleasure and responsibility that Heidi brings them the uncle's heart is filled with gratitude too deep for any words when the doctor tells him there is ample provision for the child now her grandfather's heart is free of care for if he is called away another father will take care of Heidi and love her in his stead at the moment when our story closes Heidi and Peter are sitting in grandmother's hut the little girl has so many interesting things to relate and Peter is trying so hard not to miss anything that in their eagerness they are not aware that they are near the happy grandmother's chair all summer long they have hardly met and very many wonderful things have happened they are all glad at being together again and it is hard to tell who is the happiest of the group I think Brigida's face is more radiant than any for Heidi has just told her the story of the perpetual ten penny piece finally the grandmother says Heidi please read me a song of thanksgiving in praise I feel that I must praise and thank the lord for the blessings he has brought to us all End of chapter 23 End of Heidi by Johanna Speery translated by Elizabeth Stork


Starting with our leaving conditioner, I'm gonna use the Ergo Paddle Brush to detangle the hair. So I'm gonna brush through it to get the tangles out and get me ready for hair cutting. So we're gonna start working in diagonal back section. Right below Pridal Ridge, I follow the round of the head back, the pretty much the occipital bone that I cross over. This is where I wanna work my precision cutting. I also wanna work with my tension on the side. So you can see how I stretch the hair out, then I let it go, and then I grab it again and pull back to see exactly where that hair is gonna fall when I pull it back with tension. Because the funny thing about curly hair is that when you pull it back, as soon as you let it go, it springs back, right? So you wanna make sure that you're cutting it at the right length. So a little test that I do is pull the hair out, let it go, pinch it again, and then pull it out, see where your hand goes, and that's where you should start cutting. All right, so now we're gonna continue up the head taking about a half inch section of new hair. With curly hair, I don't like to take a lot of hair at once because you'll lose your guide really easy. You don't have that nice solid line to work with. So I want you guys to pay close attention to my elevation. As I work up the head shape, the head curves away from me, so my elevation gets higher so that I remove more weight from the haircut. The lower my elevation, the more the hair is gonna stack up. So I wanted to create a nice sleek side to this haircut and then have that disconnection fall over top. So as I work my way around the head, I'm really working with layering, which looks more like a graduation because it's curly hair, but I'm working straight out from the head for the most part as I work my way up the entire head shape to the bridal ridge. So then I just follow the round of the head back, working those layers, using the tight teeth of my comb to have nice tight tension, but understanding that where I'm over directing and pulling that hair out to where it's gonna spring back. I've got that all done, I'm gonna take the clips out, that little section in a precision form, the rest of it I'm gonna do all dry cutting. So we're gonna go in, I use my brocado mousse, run that through the hair, then I'm gonna take my paddle brush, brush all the product through the hair. That's a key factor in styling hair is to make sure that you get the product on every hair strand. Then I use a diffuser to slowly dry the hair and create those curls without the frizz. We're gonna do the tease cutting technique, which is a half close of the scissor as you tease into the hair, which will cut the hair, but it gives it a nice soft edge, almost like a point cut look to it, but you're doing it with little chunks of hair at a time. It's really just pinching those curls, taking those sections, and you can see how I'm just sculpting the shape on this curly hair.  If it wasn't going to and she was gonna smooth it out, then I would do a little bit more precision cutting, obviously. So now I over-direct the little bang area, so I just grab chunks of the bang and I tease cut into it. That gives it that peaceiness in the front. You can see all the texture around the shape, and I just work my way throughout the entire shape doing the tease cutting technique. Finish it with some spray.


As much as some things change, they will forever stay the same. Saints and Ravens will forever be linked. As pretty much NFL brothers, man. Always whenever I'm asked who is your second favorite team in NFL? Saints, New Orleans. Second nature. Saints, they have some of the greatest fans in the world. They have some of the most passionate fans in the world. And that's why just the way that the Saints seasons have been ending these past three years, and every time we talk about the Saints and talk about it, it's been heartbreaking. It's just been crushing. But Saints, they love their team. They love their team and they ride for their team. And I love Saints fans. They are extremely respectful. It's so much love, especially between Ravens and Saints fans, but just me just as a person with Saints fans period, because they are some of the greatest. And even in the video that we did a few weeks ago, talking about Michael Thomas, and he was having his battle with Jarvis Landry, Saints fans were still coming through and they were still showing love and still showing respect. And that's just, it's something about Saints fans, man. They are some of the best. But anyway, as Saints know, Willie Snead, he is a Raven. He been a Raven for the past two years. Mark Ingram, he is a Raven. We have exchanged so many players over the years. Now, Ellaby, Paul Krueger made a stint with the Saints. He was from the Ravens, Ben Grubbs, the guard. He was a member of the Ravens. He went to the Saints. And then with the Saints, it's just been back and forth, man. It's been back and forth. But here we go again. Here we go again. James Hurst, former Ravens offensive lineman. He is going to be signing with the Saints with a one-year deal. Now of course, he was suspended for the first four games of the season due to the PEDs and whatnot. But once he is back on the roster, this is a very good move for the Saints. This is really a very good move for any team.  He might not be, but at the same time, he is a guy that can come in and he can play the role, man. And he can play multiple roles. You can put this guy anywhere on the offensive line and he'll be a solid addition. Is he going to have his hiccups here? Is he going to have his mess ups here? But he is somebody that can, he can be your multi-dimension. He can be your offensive lineman's version of a Taysome Hill. That's probably the best way to put it, the offensive lineman's version of a Taysome Hill. You know how they put Taysome Hill, like 50 different positions? And Saints fan made a really good point about that, too. With Taysome Hill, one of the reasons why, because I was questioning, like, wow, Saints gave him a lot of money. I know it was just a one-year extension, but they gave him a lot of money. It was like 21 million guarantee, something like that. But I was wondering, like, man, why do they give him all that money? And I don't even think that the Saints see him as the future at backup quarterback or at the future at quarterback. But somebody said, well, with Taysome Hill, he plays so many different positions. So, yeah, it is a big investment, but you're covering five, six different positions. So I was like, ah, OK, that does make sense. So one roster spot, all those different positions. And again, the same way with James Hearst, one roster spot, entire offensive line. Tire offensive line. I know a lot of Ravens fans hold a personal grudge with James Hearst because of what happened with him in the 2015 season, because he was the offensive lineman that got pushed back into Joe Flacco when Joe Flacco tore his ACL and that ended Joe Flacco season that year and pretty much ended the Raven season that year. Um, but he's he's been just fine. He's been just fine because, you know, with with us as fans, we do. We are passionate as fans, so we can we can tend to hold on. We tend to hold on to things a little, a little longer or a lot longer than the actual football players do. But this this is a good move. It's a good move. I'm not sure what the Saints their depth is on the offensive line. But again, somebody that can come in, if he's a backup, OK, cool. Say, for instance, you on the goal line, you need the extra linemen to give you that extra push. Bring in James Hearst. Say, for instance, somebody goes down, you need an offensive lineman who's ready to start and has plenty of starting experience in the NFL, playing in quite a few different types of offenses. Bring in James Hearst. Because obviously he played with Joe Flacco and he played with Lamar Jackson, two completely different types of offenses, obviously. And so now James Hearst is going to be playing with both a Drew Brees and a Taysum Hill, two completely different types of offenses. The Saints don't run the offense the same when Taysum Hill is in there as they do with when Drew Brees is in there. The offense changes up, it switches up. But James Hearst is somebody that can switch up. And again, left tackle goes down. OK, Hearst, you up. Left guard goes down. OK, Hearst, you up. Center, right guard, right tackle, all that stuff. So this this again, good, solid move. I don't know the details of the deal yet. I haven't seen any money come out on it yet. But it's it's a good move. And I'm sure it's probably cheap, especially with it being at this point of the off season. Because nobody is really nobody signing for big money at this point of the off season, man. Yeah, I can't I was trying to see if I could find out the details of the deal. But no, it's but it's all good, man. And you never know. Saints could fall in love with this guy, James Hearst, and they could be like, you know what? Let's keep this thing going because it happens all the time. Players come in on one year deals and then the team ends up being a little hesitant about them. Hmm, well, I mean, I love and then the player ends up proving themselves. And then boom, extension, extension. And especially because because players love I mean, teams love when you can play multiple positions, when you're not just one dimensional. So that that goes in James Hearst's favor. So we'll see what happens. And I know things just then they just cut Larry Wolford. So they just got rid of the guy. So there's a spot that seems to be open on that offensive line. I'm not sure if Saints addressed it or not, but there's a spot right there. And Wolford ain't get picked up yet either. So, but again, a lot of people who haven't been picked up yet, like Cam Newton, we got your Davian Clowney, we got Marcus Golden, we got Everson Griffin, we got Clay Matthews, we could keep going.  So anyway, team keeping clean. Appreciate y'all, Saints fans. You know, I love y'all. And you know, we as Ravens fans just love y'all. Much love to y'all, much respect to y'all. Who that nation? We out.


Booty cheeks, we don't make it rain on strippers Booty cheeks, we don't make it rain on strippers you can say what you want to But I can promise you I Can promise you without well, I don't know what what I can promise you and how much I can even bet But I'm pretty confident that your church is Nowhere near as entertaining as that one I I'm sure I'm pretty sure that your church can't hold a candle to that listen if you want to go to a church that's fun That what what do they say it is it is lit still a word? I know I heard that I heard that a few years ago. Is that still a word? And if I'm saying it in the right way or the wrong way, let me know But I bet your church wasn't as lit Is that I bet your listen? I Bet your church Doesn't have as much probably narcotics in the car I'm just I'm just imagining I am imagining I'm just imagining because Listen that church They got some stuff going on The thing is though when I look at that church, I'm saying myself where In the world that church looks eerily familiar. I know who the person is preaching That is tim ross His church is here in the Dallas area But that wasn't his church. So I'm thinking Well, what church is that that church looked eerily familiar? And then it dawned on me Now I probably ought to say it another way. I probably ought to say it another way I shouldn't say that your church isn't as fun as that church Because that's not a church So I apologize for even Comparing your gathering the gathering of the members with this with the with the club scene But this particular person Tim Ross is He's having a rise Maybe you might even say a meteoric rise Just like just like A transformation church just like the person who I don't know if he would if Mike Todd would consider Tim Ross his mentor or his pastor. I'm not sure How I'm not sure But Tim Ross is is growing in popularity Growing in notoriety growing I would say growing in infamy to be honest with you at least as far as heaven's concerned because what happened is He he comes across and appears as though he's Trying to be somewhat mature but also kind of hip with the world In tune with the world and that's part of the problem Because if you do things to look like the world, then you are going to attract the world Not that we don't want to attract the world We do as believers want to attract the world, but we don't want to attract the world to stay worldly And I don't know if you all seen the video So I'll go ahead and play the video clip so you can hear what he said at at transformation church while he was preaching What he says should never come out of a pastor's mouth I don't care how you're trying to relate to people or how you're trying to You know draw an analogy or comparison. This just should never happen what he says here. That shouldn't happen You know what the enemy did to a generation That didn't know what to do with a bread He made them make it rain, but you know that the enemy's a counterfeit, right? Now this particular Sermon, I believe is qualified to multiply speaking about your money and so forth What is also a problem? Not that it's a bad thing that christians should have money or Find ways to to be Fiscally responsible and mature how to grow their money I don't necessarily know that a sunday morning service is necessarily it or whatever But it's kind of a pep rally to tell people that listen you can have You can have money and so forth Well, that's not the truth because jesus says the poor shall you have with you always and he didn't say the poor non christians And so there will always be poor people.  That's not what he's promised He did promise us this though and we don't preach about this enough He says though those that live in christ shall suffer persecution You don't hear many sermons on that but that's the truth, but let's get back to his sermon He ain't the first one to make it rain literally he's not the first one to make it rain When you try to bring in words from the world You naturally bring in the imagery that those words pray about so when we're talking about and he was doing the little thing You know about making it rain and so forth. Well, where does that come from that? For those of us who who might know or may not know whatever He's drawing in comparison uses making it rain. That's that's what they do in the strip club That's what they say in the strip club That's what they that's what they do to the women that are degrading themselves And they're just throwing money throwing cash on and making it rain on her And so when you say that and you're now you're bringing God into it and you're saying it at a church It calls into question Should you be saying that and then it's going to make us look at you differently? If you haven't already and wonder is this person an actual pastor I know I know he has people that follow him and listen to him when he opens the bible, but What are they actually listening to? I could take you to genesis To prove to you who the first person was that made it rain But scripture said that manna came from heaven And it was spread to them They don't make it rain on booty cheeks We don't make it rain on strippers Now just to make that statement. We don't make it rain on On booty cheeks and we don't make it rain on strippers again You need to be I understand you probably have a lot of younger folks there, but remember Your words matter what comes out of you and I know nowadays people think that The the closer to the line that you can get the better Uh, the more crude or sort of crew that you can get the better because we want to relate to people Now this isn't anything new because again at that very same church. We also saw Mike Todd say this So I said we're gonna go to the edge on this and they said pastor. How far on the edge are we gonna go? I said we're gonna do everything short of sin Yeah, so we're gonna we're gonna go as far everything short of sin everything short of sin so It should come as no surprise and maybe that's where you got it from Because here's the person I think the testimony is that when he was Kind of contemplating on either not doing being a pastor or giving up or what have you That he got a call from from tim ross and he went comes down to dallas and stays With him and kind of re-encouraged him. That is a trip that I wish never would have happened That is a trip that I wish never would have happened because It might be that you've got one unqualified pastor trying to coerce another unqualified pastor to keep pastoring That's that's what it's seeming like, but let's finish listening to tim ross We don't make it rain on booty cheeks We don't make it rain on strippers We only reverence one stripper We only reverence one stripper Hmm What stripper do you reverence? I'm just what Maybe my listen, maybe my bible is corrupted. Maybe the salt maybe I need to stop looking at this software And go look at my my actual hard copy, but I don't recall where the open the bible or looking at the software I don't recall there being a stripper in the bible at least one worth Worth uh reverencing. There were some service in the bible. There were some prostitutes in the bible But I hope he's not going to say what I think he's going to say We only reverence one stripper And that's the one that took off glory Yep, that that's what I that's what I thought he was going We only reverence one stripper. That's the one that took off glory.  It is official and I was listening it's a We're going to the weekend and just wanting to kind of keep it loosey goosey and so forth But it's official you are you are seriously and without question Unqualified because if that's who you're going to compare him to That's what you're going to compare him to a stripper. This is the one This is god Do y'all remember there's a passage in Deuteronomy There were two priests There were sons of Aaron Nadab and Abihu and they approached god in an inappropriate fashion Do you know what? After god dealt with him because I don't know if people realize this now because a lot of people have gotten away with this But do y'all realize that god really doesn't play around with his word with his name With who he is he really he lets some folks make it and I think they think that because they've been making it that god Is not really bothered by that but he is He is there's nothing higher than his name his name and his word at the top And so you want to do that to him?  Do you remember what moses what god tells moses to tell Aaron? He says Aaron I appreciate what you've done for me. I'm adding a little license here But he says this is in Deuteronomy 10. He says by those who approach me I will be regarded as holy I will be regarded as holy you comparing me to a stripper that ain't gonna do it You better figure out how to fix this Before I come fix it. I'm speaking for god now But you better before god comes and fix it Tim Ross needs to come fix that Before god comes and deals with him You better fix you better make it right you better. I don't know what you better do I don't see. I don't know how to repent of calling Jesus or equating him to a stripper.  But look what you're doing. Look how you're degrading what happened And then you've got these people who are foolish when it comes to the bible They are just lapping it up. They are loving it. They are enjoying it.  I'll take it back. I'll take it back. I did I did go to a concert with run dmc the raisin hell tour I wasn't saved in and I love that man. Listen. I love that concert had ll kooj and a big radio and the bc boys But back before then it might have been 81 80 81 And we've got michael jackson and jackson five coming in and we've got uh earth winning fire. Oh, man Oh, man. Listen when they came in and they had the the pyrotechnics and the the horns loved it That's how these people are cheering They're cheering that way. Some of you folks have no idea who earth winning fire is. I'm praying for you but That's how they're cheering As though they've heard something wonderful and something profound And we're going to see the hearts of these people in a second and see why we are having a problem We have a huge problem right now You said that he got butt naked and you said that I'm in love the only stripper that I'm in love with Which is harkening back to a song that says that I'm in love with a stripper You're trying to be too close to the world. You're trying to as mike tide said Do everything or say everything short of sin. I think you probably crossed that line. I'm pretty matter of fact I'm sure of it I am sure of it And because you don't know it or you don't think so or you don't care It's gonna be kind of hard for you to be repentant of that It's gonna it's gonna be hard for you to make that right. It's gonna be kind of hard for you to Direct people in the right in the right direction It's gonna be hard to do that because you're portraying the wrong image of what it means to be a believer And this is coming from person that's a pastor. You're a pastor and you're doing this And he's the one that puts that bread in my pocket That bread in my pocket Now this becomes a bit of a a bit of a Concert It becomes a bit of a concert and they're talking about putting bread in my pocket because And I won't even go. I don't even care about the rest of the sermon I don't even care about the about the bulk of the sermon the bulk of the sermon has to do with Being blessed and so forth and and and as he says bread and a pocket and so forth and But now when you look at the people When you look at the people there Tell me As i'm playing this y'all tell me by the way, i'm gonna bother you guys for about a fourth You know with this play I'm gonna let this play a little bit so you all can kind of see what's happening as i'm speaking Notice the people there Tell me if it looks like they even have in their mind to a reverence god If they are there to give homage and to worship god They're not worshiping the worshiping something else This this looks more concert e and I mean in a secular sense And I guess I guess I guess the man wanted to be a rapper I guess that's what it is.  He should know better This doesn't look anything. Look at I mean they're just they're dancing. They they're enjoying themselves Makes you ask wonder what they were the previous few hours the hours leading up to this that's saturday night No, you're not dreaming. No, you're not dreaming No, this is this is a sunday morning service And this is what they do there Let's hear what he's got to say He's gonna say something. Let's see if he if he fixes this Yeah, so i'm pretty sure some of you guys But after this is over it you're gonna have it rainy. I got bread in my pocket I got bread in my pocket because again, what are they doing? They're trying to tickle the years of people And it does look I mean look at it. Look at the stage. Look at him the lights and so forth This is this looks like what it would look like guys. You tell me I haven't been there in a while, but like a concert I mean you got the uh, and then he wants to he wants to dance and so forth and Maybe maybe he ought to Maybe he's in the wrong thing. Maybe you ought to be around because The lights tell me this The lights tell me that all of this tells me that this is anything but a church service That's what now we know what the bible says. First of all, he should know this the bible says in first timothy 5 20 i mean first that's only 5 20 he says abstain From every form of evil or avoid the very appearance of sin Just don't just don't do anything to make it look like that you are In sin or you're enjoying sin. We know we shouldn't do that. We shouldn't do that now I get What he's trying to do there's a passage that says That we should become all things matter of fact, let's let's go to let's go to 1st Corinthians 9 19 Because for though I am free from all men. I have made myself a slave to all so that I may win more What he says to the jews I become as a jew so that I might win jews To those who are under the law as under the law Though not being myself under the law so that I might win those who are under the law To those who are without the law as without the law though not being without the law of god But under the law of christ so that I might win those Who are without the law to the week I become weak that I might win the week I have become all things all men so that I might by all means Say Some well what paul isn't saying He's not saying a compromise and so a couple examples. There are times where paul is speaking to jews As a matter of fact a a kind of an upper class Level of jews and what does he what does paul start doing? He starts speaking to them in hebrew When he goes to the areopagus, uh, he started speaking to them about this unknown guide relating to them He didn't compromise. He didn't act sinful to win them. No, that's not what he does But this is what he's trying to this is what a lot of pastors are trying to listen I can promise you this The numbers of those who are trying to live godly and godly churches compared to those who are skirting Uh, the world who are compromising who are It's okay to be this way and to be in church That number will be larger Those with the bad doctrine the twisted doctrine Those numbers will will grow those that want signs I want to show signs that seek after signs they will have the largest numbers I'm telling you guys this for a reason There's a couple of reasons why we put this out not just so that you can be warned of people like that And not but we do want you to be warned of people like that matter of fact him or these two specifically But also others like that And then two that so that you also don't succumb to it if your church begins looking like that that you can Sound the warning alarm to hey, I think we're doing a little bit too much a little bit too much But then three So that you do not become discouraged Because it's going to be an imbalance where you've got the godly And you've got the ungodly That's what we're going to see we're going to see the ungodly Outnumbering us and what's going to happen is this guys. This is why you have to pay attention We're going to cover shortly this great falling away and what the great falling away looks like But that's kind of what it looks like People not adhering to sound doctrine remember Paul says the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine But they will have these itching ears and they will want someone to kind of tickle their ears Tell me some more of those old lies to make me stop thinking about the truth Like I got bread in my pocket. God is going to bless me Yeah, do those things as a matter of fact Not only just do it from a regular Looking church, but do it with some lights flashing with some rap music or what have you do some Things that kind of tickle me make me feel good about you know, what I what I shouldn't be listening to That's what we're that that's so I need you guys to be to be Ready for it. It is going to happen. And when I say it's going to happen, it's already happening Why is that important because you can be in a place where everyone Tell me if this happened before yet Where everyone believes one thing and you're the one person holding out for the truth And you're made to feel like something's wrong with you.  Sheila Mahone.  I I should have pulled that clip up. But do you all remember matter of fact? I'll make sure I have it for the next video. Do you all remember there's a video clip of oprah? And she's talking about different paths to get to heaven and so forth and people in the audience there Because it's oprah's audience. They're clapping. They're they're they're in agreement and so forth One lady says no, you're wrong.  That's what we need to see Instead of having a compromising pastor a compromising preacher Now how compromising is he he did an interview Where he was asked about female preachers female pastors Listen to his response And this is i'm throwing grenades that cause messes. All right, so I could start purely from a theological standpoint, but i'm going to be This is the basement You are in the basement right now, so so I get to I get to talk freely With all the men that have been falling from leadership I'd rather have a woman Okay, a couple things two things one He says this is the base.  You should your word should be seasoned with salt You are to set an example Secondly and and just as importantly this word that you're compromising on you do realize tim that the bible gives us qualifications qualifications for us to follow and not because you've seen men fall Does that mean that the qualifications change you have the right the authority to change those qualifications? No, I don't care that I've seen men fall. That's it. That still doesn't mean that women can take their place It's that the right man has to take their place. It has to be the right Some of these pastors fall because they didn't heed to what paul was telling timothy lay hold of no man too soon You put a guy up there because he can preach or because he's charismatic because he can move around the stage so forth whatever No, no, no, we don't we church is not the place for the show Now if the preacher can handle himself on stage and preach the word Without compromising and it'd be entertaining Amen Amen, but that no Tim We have a lot of things that you're gonna have to say lord.  You have a lot of explaining to do a lot of apologizing to do you've got to If we're gonna do this thing properly what we really do is just have you just just to move on We would have you go somewhere. Just take a little break Take a little break because what you're doing what you're saying is blasphemous It's wrong is leading people in the wrong direction now. I want to play something that he's saying about This is by the way, this is the cussing pastor This is the cussing pastor. I want you all to hear what he's saying about cussing this morning the holy spirit says Tim Your language is bait for the people that I want you to reach I was like come you didn't tell me this when I first started Okay, now he says that his language is bait for the people that he's going to meet So he he thinks it's okay to say certain things now first of all This goes what he's just saying there, but also what was said earlier Paul makes this statement. Let's go to Romans chapter 12 He says therefore I urge you brethren by the mercies of God look what he says To present your body's living sacrifice now that also means your mouth He says acceptable to God which is your spiritual or your reasonable sacrifice or service of worship What he says and do not be conformed to this world But be transformed by the renewing of your mind so that you may prove what the will of God is That which is good and acceptable and perfect So no, this is not you using your first of all How come it's always these people that will say the holy spirit told us to do something that goes against the bible The holy spirit told us to do something to say something behave in a way that's the holy spirit came and just said You know what? Forget my word. I want to change it your your Your words your language is bait for the no I don't recall Jesus because guess what guys There were profane words In jesus day and I don't recall any of them using those words to meet those people. I don't I don't recall that I would have been so much better prepared Because I love people and I don't like disappointing people and I'm not a people pleaser, but I love people I don't like disappointing people Now that was truthful right there what he said that was truthful what he said he likes people He loves people Meaning he likes to appease the world the people. Well boy does paul say I'm sorry not paul Let's go to james james says you adulterous as you do you not know that friendship with the world is Hossility towards god therefore of which to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of god And look what he says also paul says this in second verse in six He says do not be bound together with unbelievers for what partnership or your verses may say what fellowship Have righteousness with lawlessness or what fellowship has light with darkness Amos three says that house she'll to house of the two walk unless they agree. So when you see people It might feel like an odd couple. Well, no, it's because they agree and so when you find yourself Being an attraction to the world because you agree Because you and maybe you won't tell folks we can see you have lowered your standards Actually, you've lowered god standards as well For yourself. You've compromised in that regard and so now That's why they are coming to you uh I wish you'd have told me this up front But again when the lord tells you to do stuff that's uncomfortable. You just got to shed the layers of What you believe how you believe how you've done it what So when the lord tells you do something you just got to shed your layers shared your comp No, you know because he's going to tell us that that he's used to do as a matter of fact this is how he talks The lord is going to tell you to No No, no, like as though he made a huge decision that he just changed Lord, it's going to be hard for me to just stop cussing or to start cussing now But he's going to tell us this is what he does because I would normally like it wouldn't I would never even consider that But he said your your language is bait for the people I want you to reach And if there's people that are saying stop your cussing hell hell And i'm comfortable with those words. I don't We know you're comfortable with those words and thank you for being honest The bible says says let's go back to james. He says that from the same mouth come both blessings and cursing I'm sorry. Let's go to verse eight.  They can't control it You would think though after 20 years or 30 years or 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 80 We would get better at it But it's because it's all about you.  He says verse nine whip it our tongue our mouth We bless Our lord and father And with that we curse men Who have been made in the leggings of god for the same mouth come both blessing and curses He says my brother and these things ought not to be this way. They should not be this way tim That's not no bueno Senior conrad this listen my my spanish is good. No bueno Uh-uh, nope. Don't do that. I don't have a reason to say them right now. So you know what I mean um Good lord of mercy I just realized if now when he says that right there it struck me When he said good lord of mercy, why don't you just cuss right there? Why did you just cuss now me? me I would have said well gosh dog it dog on it See But you said good lord of mercy, but why don't you just since you are comfortable saying cuss words and you're talking about cuss up You could have just you could have demonstrated right there Because you do it anyway if that's the response You're not the person I'm trying to catch. I'm so sorry. I'm gonna dead in this camera again Now he says that if we had that kind of response that that bothers us He's not the person that that he's trying we're not the people that he's trying to reach. Why not? Why aren't the people that would be offended by that why aren't they the people that you want to reach? Oh, it's only a certain kind of I know it is. I know it is. There's just more of those people Who live like that and that's what you want? That's what you want. Yes chats. I need you all to get familiar with those words dog on it And in my new word gosh dog Yeah Helps out a whole lot.  That's what I'm doing That's what I'm doing. You also get used to it This is the way I've I'm so sorry to disappoint you. I don't want to I don't want you to think I've always talked like this Okay, this is why this this that's not an excuse That is not an excuse. This is who I am.  It's an issue of sin But you want to call it that the fact of the matter is what does the bible say about your mouth? That's the issue I've always talked like this. I'm not going to mentor everybody. I'm not going to disciple everybody But there's certain people they don't even hear you into you guys I I have to answer this I have to answer this I've got to answer this Uh d says so don't listen to tim ross Correct don't listen to tim ross.  I don't know if you just if you're just being facetious being funny whatever But anyone else is wondering. No, I would not you don't have to You don't have to I can't tell you how many people I have to cuss at to make them like oh snap Now I hear you. I'm like good lord. Have mercy. I used all my I used all my big words I have a vast vocabulary I've spent several years with that dictionary And you didn't hear me until I said sugar honey ice tea Okay, let me say this also I don't cuss and I've never needed to use cussing to get my point across Never not once ever ever ever ever ever and I know Somebody might not want to hear it but For the last well, not the last three years, but the previous 13 before that everybody in prison cussed Everybody well, not everybody because I didn't And there were a lot of men there that uh that I've mentored and even now It didn't have to cuss Did not have to cuss You don't have to cuss as a matter of fact If you want to stick out can I can I tell you what you can do if you want to stick out and get somebody's attention?  Okay, I'm not sure what that means but um prisons the bottom of the bottom People who are the worst of the worst who They have foul mouths foul hearts foul eyes foul ears foul everything And they can be reached without cussing People in the streets that I've spoken to I don't cuss I get my point across You show your I think this is what I was taught you show your level of maturity as well as intelligence And if you think you're creative like he thinks he is well, then you should be able to communicate with somebody without using those cuss words You should be it shouldn't be that wow It that it's a the reason why it strikes you as odd and weird that a pastor speaking about cussing because it is odd and weird And it's not godly At least that's how I feel Yeah, I know and and and and you know too Okay, you don't use the language. Most of y'all listen to it Right music Yep Okay, uh Cardi B and what's her name?  Wet and gushing Which is worse. Can you even clean that up? No, okay now I gotta apologize Because I I thought that we took the cussing out. I'm sorry. I thought we took that part out I didn't know he said it twice. So guys, I apologize.  My question is my question is this Why do you have to listen to them? Uh Who is it? Did you Cardi B and and and whoever it is Why do you have to listen to them to draw to to make your point? I don't listen to all those other people I'd yeah, I'm yeah, I'll I'll I'll go back in the in the rerun and I'll I'll believe it I'll believe that there's two parts.  I can't leave he said leave me Uh part of me says leave it in for for effect, but no I I can't I can't why because I got some may have some children Some little wee ones listening and I and I did I did not put a disclaimer in earlier. So I cannot I cannot uh, and so Again, I apologize for that guys But again, why would you use that? Why you try to make a point because somebody who's not a christian cusses You don't have to use that to to relate You know why he'll use that to relate because he wants to relate he wants to do that he wants to he wants to skirt the line he wants to do like Like Mike Todd everything short of sin which ends up becoming all sin That that's what he's trying to do. The bible says this First of all, if it's coming out of your mouth, Jesus puts it this way He says this he says the good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth What is good and the evil man out of the evil treasures of his heart brings forth What is evil the four his mouth speaks from that which is or that which feels the heart So if it's coming out of your mouth, it's because it's in your heart If you got a cussing mouth because you got a cussing heart If you okay, I'm sorry. I see it. I I got you I got you.  Squeeze a lemon. What's coming out? No, no, I know you want to say lemon or lemon juice. No, that's not the answer The answer is whatever is on the inside Whatever's on the inside is what's coming out Because if someone happened to take something and injected some orange drink in there or some orange juice or some grape juice Or some apple juice, then that's what's coming out Fortunately though, we know what's inside the lemon We we know it matter of fact if we didn't see it if we were colorblind I don't have you we just squeeze it and then drink. Oh, that was a limit that came out of Because it's on the inside same thing with you whatever comes out when you're squeezed now oftentimes though The bad stuff that didn't come out when when a lot of us are squeezed it just comes out just because it is I've got a spigot on and these vile words these insults these things. They are coming out But he wants us to believe that god Has told him that it's okay. No, that's not even cleanable I want to make sure I finish it up But now let's look what the word says the word says in Ephesians 4 29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth But he says god says that you can go ahead and do that Although paul says different.  No No According to the need of the moment now he might say we'll see the moment needed cussing Well, then why didn't you see that in the bible? Because it doesn't You just thought it did and the only reason why you said you thought it did because you wanted to you just been I'll never forget this I'll never forget this it was so funny And my mother couldn't do anything I'm sorry. It's just look at cc. Ah You know what?  Who knows I'm sorry. I'm I apologize. I apologize. You can't read Somebody said those who you can't read probably they they know it already. I'm I'm kidding. I'm kidding. But my brother He was itching itching to say some cuss words And we were somewhere And my mother didn't quite hear what this other person said And I'm gonna say what did she say? and my brother chris just ready willing rattle it off I looked at him like wow And my mother looked at him like and she wanted to hit him but she couldn't because she said what did he say? He said what did what did he say and he told you And mine said well the Lord she did ask what did she say and he said it? Just want to you just just look for an opportunity to cuss That's not good Because if you're looking for an opportunity to say something vulgar Then you didn't that means you're also looking for an opportunity not to say something vulgar but to be vulgar If you're looking for an opportunity to say something profane It's because you're also looking for an opportunity to be profane And that's just the truth. Let's continue with what he said. He says do not grieve the holy spirit That means to suppress that means to push down the holy spirit wants to have nothing but good godly thoughts But you saying these bad words You're grieving the holy spirit by whom you receive for the day of redemption Let all look he says let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you Along with malice be kind to one another tender hearted forgiving each other. Now. Look what he says in verse one As a pastor, he should know this he says therefore be imitators Of god as beloved children and walk in love just as christ also loved you and gave himself up for us And offering and a sacrifice to god as a fragrant aroma Be an imitator of god Set an example Jesus puts it this way says let your light so shine that people will see your good works and then they will glorify god But you cussing That's not doing anything That's just you get an opportunity to be and to say Because sometimes christians see the world And and admire the world You see the world you admire the world and that's cool and that that that's my I want to release my inner inhibitions. I want to release the inner me Okay, someone is someone is correct. I mean, let's see. Let's see if that's correct Unwholesome word is referring to pure and and unhypocritical. Okay, so let's let's go back to it Don't have a problem with being corrected. Let's go and see what that word means Put it back on the screen The word is sa pras It means rotten It means counterfeit It means unwholesome I think that's what I said I really I really think that's what I said. So no, it does mean that as well It actually does According to my definition that jesus cuss went when when did jesus cuss according to what definition I give that jesus cuss Please help me out by the way Well, I'll leave that alone. I'll leave that alone, but I would say people like that That want to kind of skirt the line That want to kind of get as close Remember, I I didn't say this this is what this is what Mike Todd said said and it's at his church and it's with his Mentor, so I said we're gonna go to the edge on this and they said pasta. How far on the edge are we gonna go? I said we're gonna do everything short of sin That's not what we want to do We're not trying to just draw people in For the sake of looking like them Remember the bible says the bible says again, I put it back on the screen He says a void or abstain from every form of evil of the and some of your verses may say the very appearance Of sin, you don't want to look like you're sinning You don't want to give anyone a reason to say aha. That was wrong What you did was wrong It is it is it is it is literally calling my stripper. It is literally it is the height of blasphemy Now some folks gonna say, ah, you just tripping you this okay fine Okay, fine I'll never get in trouble for not calling Jesus a stripper. You might you might Not you but the guy that did and some folks were just live just just eating up. Yeah, you're right. He's trying to be good I'm one of those guys that the older I get I embrace getting older I embrace it my daughter calls me old man and okay. I'm the old man. That's that's that's cool I'm cool with that. What am I gonna act like I'm 20 again Act like I'm 30 again I can't I can't even act like I'm 40 again Why why not just be mature? Why not be as mature as you possibly can I understand try to maintain Some of your youth try to still be cool But you know the coolest you the coolest you is the most authentic and genuine you that's just not some Some sort of cliche. No, that's true Those guys that are faking it and maybe having a midlife crisis and no, no, no Identifies a 20 year old. What are you 21? But I Now me I identify as a as of I'm 50 year old It is what it is I cannot go back and change my day to birth. I cannot go back and listen One one thing you can't do is you can't change where your skin looks You can't change the way your bones feel I've tried She said 50 she oh, she's so sweet. She says 50 years isn't even old But if you're 20 it is if you're 30 it is If you're 50, you're right. Listen, I'm I'm in I'm in my prime And until I you know trying to walk too fast or run too fast then I Then oh my body says hold up. Wait, wait, hold on sport. Where you going so fast? Where you going to hurry walk Walk, this is the I drive I don't I take it back. I don't always drive on the right side of lane But there was a slow lane for walking.   You know what you shouldn't do and I I bet I bet Judith is this way I bet Judith is this way.  I might as well go ahead and do it I think that I think that is in deuteronomy. I believe it's 10 Was it 10? Hold on I gotta find the actual passage now Now I gotta find the actual passage. I know where it is. I know Do I know where it is? Because I want I want to read this. I want to read this passage. I think it's pretty. Oh, you know what? Because it's not in deuteronomy. That's why That's why I'd be searching all day There it is found it Now de now need to have an abihu the sons of erin took their respective fire pans and after putting Fire in them placed incense on it and offered strange fire before the lord which he had not commanded them But listening to tim. He says the lord has commanded him totem.  I will be treated as Holy You will treat me as holy. Have your parents ever told me told you I'm not your friends You don't talk to me that way. You don't act like that way to me.  Listen Party like it's 1999 some folks like well, it's 2023. I know it's because you're young But for us older folk 1999 that meant something we just gonna just just let it all hang out. We're gonna have so much fun And every now and then we'll open our bible and try to be golly or appear to be golly But the fact of the matter is you're gonna have to serve one or two You have to choose this day whom you shall serve if you're going to serve christ Or if you're going to at least take the opportunity to say to everyone in the street that you are trying to serve christ If that's what comes out of your mouth.    He is not some cheap toy some cheap whatever He is god almighty and how dare this man have the unmitigated god The sinister god to compare him to a stripper To say that he got butt naked On the cross And called him liking him to a stripper You're going to pay for that At some point in time, you're going to have to give an account for that Now I hope that he changes his tune changes his mind and Not do that But he's going to need to do that He's going to have to make this right He's going to have to depart from that. No, I don't know how he's supposed to do it I have no idea how he's supposed to do it But the the bad part is that you've got people that listen to that and eat it up And they're clapping and they're cheering and it sounds so good And now what you have done by you being deceived now you're deceiving others And they don't know what to make of because you're the pastor You're on a stage Matter of fact, you're older than our pastor. You're the guy that our pastor looks up to And you're saying this is up the pastor the preacher says this what Must okay must be okay. You're given license for us to sin as well You're given license for us to sin as well, but I can promise you When he said what he said he meant what he said that those who Regard me those who approach me must regard me must treat me must understand must recognize Must know must treat me as holy Amen
