Welcome to Psychic Medium Tony Green. I am Tony Green, the Psychic Medium. I will be doing, I will be doing this show today. And here we go. Here we go. Let's just do this. So I go live every Monday and Wednesday, every Monday at noon, every Wednesday at 7 p.m. Both of those times are central. You can join live by calling in<PHONE_NUMBER> or by joining us on YouTube where you can put your questions in the chat. If you call in the<PHONE_NUMBER> number, you can ask a question about life, love, career, finances, any area of your life at all. One question per caller, please. Or you can connect with a loved one up above. And yes, any question you have for a loved one or want to just say, hi, have that conversation, we do that on the show. Okay. Next, let's see. I never reach out to anybody, so please don't be scammed. Next is, oh, you guys, as many of you know, I was in Florida for a week. It was amazing. I know my pasty skin doesn't represent. It was cold. It was very cold in Florida the whole time I was there. I had to wear a coat. A coat in Florida, which I don't mind. But it was beautiful. It was absolutely beautiful and stunning. And I did an event at Cinematique in Daytona. And I just want to say thank you to the Cinematique and Brendan, who set everything up, and the board of directors there. It was such an amazing event.  So much fun. So there's that. And then, of course, Michelle and David, who hosted me for the week.  Oh my gosh, everything was about food while I was there. It was so good. It was just a big love fest. It was. It was just so much love. And so good. It was really fun and amazing. And I can't wait to go back. I absolutely cannot wait to go back. I met so many absolutely amazing people while I was there.  Such a true, true blessing. Alrighty, I'm going to be answering questions from callers from the chat. And I do this because my call log is here and my chat is here. So I'm going back and forth between people. When people call in, the only thing I get is their phone number. There is no name attached to it. Some of the people in the YouTube chat, I do know them like Genevieve and Sal, Rebecca. Some of them have our people who I've worked with before. They've worked with me before. It's just awesome. We all love each other. If you'd like to be part of this journey, please come join us where we're pretty good people, I think. I think we're pretty good people. Okay. So, okay. It's been, I've been so out of the loop. I did two TikToks this morning, everybody. One for triggers. Thank you, Fawn, because I was watching one of Fawn's TikTok videos about getting triggered. And I'm like, oh, let's just do a clearing for getting triggered and healing whatever triggers us. And then the other one for the heart because we've all had heartbreak. We've all had pain. And this one will heal physically, emotionally, psychologically, but you may, you really might have to listen to it more than once. And like I said on my TikTok video this morning, in clearing my heart, like to heal it from the things, you know, the things, life, all the life, things that, you know, do the things to the heart, like breakups. And I said it on the show this morning, like even the first time we get punished, um, family, friends, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, it goes on and on. Okay. Did you miss that? I'm so sorry. I crack myself up so much. It makes me laugh that hard. Tears are coming out of my eyes right now. Oh my God.  People wonder why I'm single. Here it is. This is why. Oh, okay. So where was I? Let me get back on track. No shame in my game. Oh, heart, healing, heart. Yes. Okay. So for me, it took quite some time. I had been working on healing my heart for well over two weeks. So if you find something, even if you don't feel it, like if you're listening to the TikTok clearing and you don't feel it right away, it doesn't mean it's not working. Just keep doing it. And like I said on the heart one this morning, do it until you wake up happy. Just do it until you feel that difference and you wake up happy. Okay. As always, I'm going to start either with songs or names. Names are your name, a family member's name, or a loved one's name. The songs are either a song, a family member, somebody on the other side loved a song that you listen to together or a song that is answering a question to something that is going on in your life. It's the answer like you've been you've been waiting for this. This type will not stay for those of you watching. I'm sorry. I just I'm so OCD and I can't get my top to stay to stay even. And I apologize, but it'll be entertaining to watch me go crazy over this. I'm just gonna put there. That'll help. Okay. Yeah, I'm a little OCD, which adds to my singleness. Okay. Okay, focus. The songs could be the answer to a question if you've been having a question or there's been a problem. The song could be the answer. And the first one, which like through my whole shower this morning, the song here come old flat top he had he got juju eyeball he got something something he do something something with hair down to his knees got to be good looking cuz he's so hard to see come together that's the name of the song come together right now over me. Okay, that song that's all morning all morning that they would not leave me alone with that song. So wherever that's for, you're welcome. You are welcome. Okay. Apparently, we're starting with songs. The next song is um, ride Sally ride. I don't know if I can give you any of the words all she wanted. I don't know ride Sally ride you're going to know if it's for you you're going to know the next song is um, I don't know this song, but it keeps starting let's take. Let's take that's those are the only two words I get for that song and I apologize because that I tried to be but they won't go past that let's take. Maybe it's let's take the next step I don't I don't really know but we're going to go to the next song. I was made for loving you baby you were made for loving me okay if it's for you it's for you um and I'm getting this song I think I had this song on Wednesday take it to the limit one more time okay so I do tell everybody and I didn't say it yet on this show but I'm gonna say I don't I can't sing I am aware you don't need to email me and tell me I can't sing or post it everybody who has heard my voice while I sing knows I can't sing but this is what Spirit does so this is what we do um this is how they communicate with people this is how they let them know their messages so that's it is what it is um the next song is and I hear the words I'm waiting for the beat as if I can keep it um okay uh there's still on loving you baby I was made for loving you baby you were made for loving me okay next song let's go next song okay we're gonna come back to songs I'm gonna go to names the first name is Bill and then the next name is Willie this could be the same person or it could be two completely different people the next name is Jessica the next name is Jerome the next name is um Christopher Chris Christopher the next name is Janice like Joplin Janice okay thank you for confirming that for me the next name is um they're singing another song so I'm gonna just whatever they bring to me I'm just gonna bring it as I can Jamie Mac oh oh Jamie Mac I don't think I've ever sang a song so poorly as that right there um and then they're doing the song walking in the rain in the snow when there's no way to go when you feel like a part of you is dying this song came through and I think Wednesday also somebody out there is feeling it oh my gosh okay you're going through it and I am sorry um the next uh gosh the next they're doing another song was me she caught me in the counter was me saw me in the bathroom I don't know she heard it getting louder one me uh she stayed till it was over I think if we know that song we know that song I don't I don't need to to go any deeper into that I think everybody gets it everybody gets it it was him he did it she caught me on camera it was you sir it was you okay I think what they're trying to say there is just believe yourself and not the wasn't me person caught me in the shower that's it thank you go oh my lordy lordy okay going I'm gonna try to go back to names again um Cameron Dillard or yeah Dillard D-A-I-L-L-A-R-D the next name is Alfonso the next name is Lorenzo the next name is I'm trying to figure out how it's pronounced please give me a second Mike Mike meh meh Kyla meh meh Kyla no meh Kyla Shanti and then the next name is Felicia or Felicia however that is pronounced okay now I'm gonna go to um callers and questions in the log and there was a question before uh the show that it would have been a bit of a long answer so and I wanted to do this answer on air because I really like this question and it's coming from Genevieve hey gee what's up um and Genevieve at the question when Genevieve was 28 she had a major accident and it was quite a redefining um moment her daughter is 28 now and is injured is there some sort of lineage for this to happen at the same age yes it's uh almost I'm going to use this word even though this word may not be I'm channeling everybody here they come even though this word might not be the most appropriate word it's just like a stigma it's a hiccup in the line it happened here it happened here um so what we are going to do is we are going to heal the the stigma the lineage we are going to heal the hiccups not only at 28 but all of them so for anybody listening and um watching we're going to heal the lines we call them lines you might call them patterns or some other word it's okay uh but where something happened and it repeats we see this uh more common reference to this is if I if a woman gets her first impregnation at this age then the children may also do that so we're going for whatever the pattern is we're going to start to heal clear release that and then wow okay there you go Genevieve I hope that was very very helpful for you um rise up welcome to the show I love that uh name uh Rebecca hey Rebecca um Kate uh we have so many Salis here we have so many people here love it hey Karen uh Maris hey good morning um Heather Caroline Caroline right the light is a little bit there's there's uh so much chat I might miss questions today please forgive me if I do um Katarina it's Katarina thank you um yes uh Colette welcome to the show um Michelle Cavita thank you so much everybody I'm going to go back and forth so please um if I missed your question post it again but I'm going to do a caller next and then somebody in the chat so five two zero what's your name and where are you calling from Lisa and a calling from Tucson hey Lisa how can I help you today thank you I was just calling about my love life but okay Lisa are you in a relationship right now yeah but we're not um something happened within the last um a couple of days where okay I told him something sorry oh no no no I'm sorry I was getting a no I wanted to confirm that if you so the last this just happened within the past couple of days you're saying okay yeah but um maybe we're not in a relationship I we haven't talked for yeah okay here's what I'm getting um Lisa can I please just get his first name uh just just a letter yeah just a letter is buying the as in David okay thank you so here's what I'm getting um okay here's here's what I'm getting whatever happens next whatever happened okay I'm I'm getting oh I'm getting so much and I'm gonna try to be a little bit uh sensitive about the way that I state certain things here we have free will and free we have free will and choice and we can of course even if something is technically over or whatever we can we can go back you know we can try to make it work again what I'm getting in this particular situation is that this came in at this time to help push you out of your comfort zone so you can get someone who's a little bit more in alignment with your beliefs and your systems um I do I am going to say this I feel like there will be communication or another uh connection between the two of you it's up to you if you take that or not but whatever the issue is or was it will continue okay um so it's up to you what route you go there's no right or wrong answer here there's just what you choose to do now I'm gonna in my book um what if a transformational journey I I say what if this life is like a an amusement park you decide which rides you want to ride and if you like it you ride it again but if you don't you stay off of it so if we're comparing this to a ride is it a ride you enjoy or is it one of those really choppy icky roller coasters that you get off and you feel like you know you don't know what just happened to you so I'm going to say whatever's going on here um to whatever degree there is some discourse and it's up to you the next step you take this is all up to you you're the one who gets to decide uh they're singing the song should I stay or should I go if I stay there will be trouble if I go it will be double not not necessarily what I'm going to say to you is if you okay thank you if you can't if changes can't be made to be harmonious you might want to consider letting go and moving forward but you need to know the changes are permanent and not temporary does that make sense love I'm sorry the changes like changes like me moving forward would be permanent no okay let me repeat that I'm so sorry I I was not clear um if this person comes back or if you decide to give it another go with this person you need to make sure that whatever the disruption was that's there it can change and that those changes are permanent not a temporary change just a quick fix look I can behave for a month and okay now I'm a jack-o-lantern again you need to make sure that whatever the issue is it is corrected permanently not temporarily otherwise you're just going to repeat a whole cycle here okay I get you okay so and I know that you want me to say it's over or it's going to start again it can go either way because you have to decide that I can't this is something that you are going to be the person that decides if you want to give this another go around or if you just want to move on and find out what else is out there for you who else is out there for you and and how that feels and looks if you give it uh if you if you if you go around with this person one more time it will be the same thing but if you try something new there will be somebody new okay thank you it's a Valentine reading thank you oh you are so welcome you are so so welcome I hope you have an amazing rest of the night or day okay oh you you too thank you so much you are so

me goodness gracious wants to know hi Tony happy Valentine's week happy Valentine's week um I would love a reading about a potential relationship thank you her name is Anita okay Anita Anita June someone there is the potential for someone to come in in June this person is going to be um I don't know why they're using this word it doesn't mean what it doesn't mean um there's something with this person they're using the word color color now for me my last name is green maybe that's it I tried to tell everybody when just one word comes through without an explanation be open to all the possibilities of this so it could be that the person wears very vibrant colors that there's their name is whatever that means when this person comes in in June maybe you're at some festival where it's very bright and colorful I don't know maybe a pink festival I don't know um whatever it is um I do feel like though you do meet this person outdoors so maybe at a festival in June go to festivals it'll be so good for you also I feel like this person is going to be uh very I hear the words like charismatic vivacious um very a little outgoing um and very uh even though they're charismatic they have a calm calmness within them so just know that and be um be okay just know that even though they're very seemingly outgoing they are still a calm person okay um I hope that helps you Anita I really do I'm going to go to the next caller who's 614 614 what's your name and where are you calling from how can I help you today uh I wanted to know if anything's coming up for me and the love department oh everybody is all about today today's the pre love show um are you in a relationship right now no okay what I'm gonna do for you and everybody else I because here's the thing my love when was your last relationship how long ago that it was back and forth but the last time we kind of seen each other was in November of last year okay I'm gonna tell you something and this happens a lot in relationships and we don't even know it we're not aware of it there's the energy of somebody still with you so I'm gonna clear all of that for you and anybody else who is single but that person somebody's energy is lingering with them um so we're gonna clear that you may feel that I feel like coming out of my like um when I clear I I also feel it even if I don't necessarily need it but uh I feel this coming out of the whole chest and the chest and above area so if you feel it this will help now what happens when we have the energy of somebody else with us to other people we we have that energy of still being in a relationship so we're going to clear all of this and also for anybody who went through a breakup and uh the on and off and all of that stuff we're going to clear heal and release that all that caused it all that allowed it because you know what we don't need we don't need a repeat we don't need that same energy oh my lord coming back in oh we need to have stability and security so I'm going to um give you the four words that I find very important when looking for a partner and however you if you like these words you can use them if not that's okay protector provider safety and security now whatever those words mean to you is okay but one of the things I say about safety and security is do you feel safe in this relationship does this are you feeling like this person could drop out at any moment if you do that's not a person who or a relationship or person that is is giving safety and security and we want that so anything stopping or blocking this from coming in for everybody we're going to heal clear release that and we're going to be in a different space now I'm getting for you love now that we're going to clear all this away in March there's the potential for somebody to come in in March now I'm going to tell you something else as soon as this clears away and this is what happens as soon as it complete as soon as we completely clear the person's energy out of you they feel it because they still feel like connected or however we would want to say that but the moment this is completely cut from you and gone chances are they're probably going to try to reach out to you it's your job to keep that cut and not respond don't have any interaction because when somebody still has their energy that tight on you they're feeding off of you or they're just they have that there's so much I could say about this that this show just isn't long enough maybe on Wednesday we can cover it more but in March there's the potential for somebody to come in potential this doesn't mean it's guaranteed this means there will be the opportunity for you to start a relationship with someone and it could this person coming in in March could be a significant person in your life that means this could be a very long term relationship that helps you grow and helps you expand so in March I feel like this person coming in they're not going to play games so don't don't don't use little tactics that that us girls can sometimes use nope because this person is a little bit um they know who they are they know what they're worth they're not going to play games so be very serious in this relationship if if you're ready I feel like this relationship has the potential what what's your age love how old are you um 29 turning 30 in March in May sorry yeah this could be girl girl girl um I'm hearing this statement and I hope you just understand it somebody is saying come correct just show up like this is you know when there's a difference and I'm gonna say this for you and everybody listening there's a difference between just dating and then there's like I'm only interested in my husband okay and if you're not husband material or you don't want to be a husband you can you can just walk away now you're about to enter the husband phase you're not looking for a boyfriend you're looking for you're going to be looking for that next phase that husband phase and believe me I want you to think this to yourself right now whether you're male or female use wife or husband whatever applies to you I want a boyfriend and feel that statement when you say it to yourself I want my husband even the way that even just comes out of my mouth is different now even if you don't want that piece of paper wedding ceremony you want a husband type of person you don't have to not everybody believes in that ceremony but you want that type of relationship so when you say that and you start thinking the the I'm not messing around with anybody else it's just my husband and the reason this is coming out for you is because I'm going to say it again the next person that you meet and they're saying the next person but you still have to do your due diligence don't walk in like this is him because you might get tested with one person before but I I feel like the next person for you has the potential to be a very long term relationship for you so please um if you're ready uh make it work okay uh be serious don't play games show up like like that okay and don't accept anything less okay love who I hope that was helpful for you and and let me know when you wake up tomorrow call in Wednesday and let us know um the difference you feel by tomorrow as far as feeling free um from all of this clearing of this energy okay sweepy yeah I already feel a big difference but I will definitely call in I love that thank you so much for letting us know thank you thank you thank you um again and have fun have fun this person's going to be a good person for you okay March coming in quick coming in quick okay okay thank you so much for calling in and uh please call back again I'm gonna go to the uh next um question if I can find it there's

Collette I was I saw that question earlier and then I just lost it and I'm so sorry Collette I'm going to tell you this your brother and Bill says your brother Bill in heaven says he's sorry and um I don't know why he's sorry but that should make sense to you he feels like he was a bit of a burden and I have goosebumps oh he feels he was um I feel like he was um funny at like he would do those one-offs all the time and he would do um like I hear the word sarcasm and I see this but I close my eyes and I just see this huge green orb oh yeah so that's what your brother Bill would say for you thank you so much for asking you guys did I do six one four as though it's your job to pay attention to me right I'm going to go to eight zero four if I didn't do six one four I'm sorry eight zero four what's your name and where are you calling from hi it's Olivia in Virginia hey Olivia how can I help you today I am wondering I guess career would be my question both of my kids will be in college next year my husband and I have planned on his job being more than enough and flexible to allow us to travel and now that has changed so I wonder if you see me seeing getting getting a fulfilling job maybe in the school system or should I stay with interior decorating or something else um Olivia the thing that I am getting for you is where you put your energy is what is going to grow if you stay with interior decorating you need to do it a little bit differently than you have been doing it to expand it to expound or expand upon it you need to have some new creative ideas come in and then it will take off more than it has the other thing that I am hearing for you that if you decide to get like with a job a career starting a job in the school system it will go okay you won't completely love it but you'll be you'll be good with it um you know I'm gonna be really honest with you Olivia if you really put all your energy with no fear into the interior decorating and you you uh it will expand and if you start using if you start using um some social media and a few other things it will it will really start to take off a bit don't give too much away online just little tips and just tiny tips like whatever it is but you now now here's also what I'm going to say if you don't feel confident enough in that no matter how much you do it won't make the difference and you will need to you know get that work thing now I'm gonna do this um all that stopping blocking interfering with anybody's business is now healed cleared released I'm getting a no so we're gonna heal clear release that all that is interrupting us from bringing in money uh we're gonna heal clear release that oh gosh I feel this one oh all that stopping or blocking us from expanding our business that's the healed cleared release we're gonna go there and do that okay Olivia breathe I hope that's helpful for you now either way you go you're gonna be fine but don't give up the interior decorating completely because that's gonna be your fall back if you do go into let's just say working for the school system and you don't love it you're gonna go back to this and you're gonna have new ideas for it and I feel like it will be really really good for you um and I don't feel I feel like if you go into the school system at first you'll like it but you won't love it all the way through um so please do everything you can to expand your business look at here's what I I would say go look at people who are doing what you do and go to some of their social media accounts and see what they're doing um and their websites and see what now don't completely imitate them maybe take what they're doing and add your own flavor to it okay and and do that that will help you a great day a great deal and I am gonna say this please don't just mimic somebody else's stuff uh see it and go oh I like that but I'm gonna do it this way because that's more my my style my taste okay it'll get it's supposed to give you an idea not your whole platform okay love excellent thank you very much you're so welcome Olivia I hope you have an amazing rest of the day and thank you so much for calling in I'm going to go to the next question um uh do you rise up um has a question do you see any big changes coming in my life this year um none that you haven't already planned for so you won't have any dramatic surprises is the way they're answering that question for you and I I really do hope that that is helpful I'm going to go to 443 next 443 what's your name and where are you calling from Ashley and both more okay Ashley how can I help you today I am wondering if I should um give up my office space where I do I just have it and it's kind of past three months and even though I know it's one of my gifts I just don't know if right now it's financially feasible to keep um paying the rent on it right now and also why is my motivation so low is that I'm trying to uh my energy behind what is required is so low I don't know I'm trying to figure out if I should keep it or let it go um you come back to it just I don't know okay um in general everyone who is involved in healing work um there's been a little bit of a lag okay um one of the things I'm hearing for for you is it will turn around when you're ready for it to turn around but also that you have to find your passion again um I will never ever be the person to tell somebody to financially um what is that word when you make yourself tight never overextend that's it never overextend yourself financially always find the least like expensive space I feel like if you let this space go you may find a space if you decide to go back that is even less expensive and a better space for you but until then you can join in on other people's um group work reach out to some other people in the area that do group work and ask them if they would like to collaborate with you oh some of them will say no and they might not be very kind about it but if you reach out to enough people you're going to find somebody who will say yes that they would like to collaborate and um if you don't want to completely let go of your space if you're like really you know you feel like this is just a temporary thing you can bring in somebody you have three days a week they have three days a week and um let them share your space but make sure they do a different type of work than you so for example if you do energy healing have them do um I don't know like a different type of work completely so then you can refer people to each other and you can also uh collaborate and put little group things together with each other and for other people now these are the recommendations they're giving I always try to tell everybody I'm not the boss of you are you if I'm going to ask it a different way is she going to let go of the space you know so if you're not going to let go of the space you have to find a way to make it affordable by either sharing the space or starting to do group collective things within your space um okay okay right now let me let me do some healing work on this um because we've all been you know trying to get ourselves going again so um let me say we're motivated I'm getting no let's clear that all that stopping or blocking our motivation let's pull that out now um um and Ashley if you're if you're okay with it you can reach out to your current clients and you can have like some sort of like if you refer someone to me if you refer three people or one person I'll give you a free 15 minute and if the person signs up do something along those lines because we have to be in it and doing it to keep it but I'm just going to clear anything stopping or blocking motivation for any and all of us because I do know that is a really big thing right now for everyone um yeah because kind of I've been reaching out I'm just returning them down and it's weird because um I just haven't found myself in the energetic space lately you know and I think I work very seriously because I don't want to work on someone and I'm feeling um aligned so I just was wondering if they had anything to say about that yeah I'm gonna clear a few things without announcing what they are um just for privacy purposes for you Ashley not that anybody really probably would figure out who you are but this is something from when you were eight years old that is working its way out of you right now I'm going to say it that way and if it wasn't eight around that age and it's just but it's it's been slowly creeping back or working its way out so now it's going to we're going to just try to help it move a little bit more quickly out of you and I am going to say this to you I understand what you're saying about wanting to be in the right place to work

Okay, folks, Larry Pesavento with your afternoon update, and I've put a chart up in the Tiger's Den of the Treasury bond market, folks. We're having one of the strongest days in Treasury bonds that we've seen in over a year. This is in face of interest rates going higher. When interest rates goes higher, bond prices should go lower. That is not happening, so that's telling you that this is a flight to quality. People are looking for a place to hide their money. And if you're listening to the news in Bloomberg, CNBC, NBC, CBS, they're talking about the 16th largest bank in the United States was closed today, halted for trading. A year ago it was trading at $720 a share, and today at the close of trading at $39 a share. And boys and girls, I can promise you one thing, that it will not open at 40 and it will not open at 39. That's because someone's going to be picking up that bank for pocket change, which was $720 a share. Just a year ago, they'll probably be able to buy it for somewhere between $8 and $3, and below $3, nobody will want it, but that's pretty much it. Bear Stearns in 1987 was trading for roughly $250, and it went down to $2 a share. If you saw some of those movies about Crash of Wall Street, that's what the movie Wall Street was about. Bear Stearns actually. So anyway, that's what we're paying attention to today. The interesting thing is using the statistics of the market, we're now down more than three standard deviations on the day. That happened at 3880, and we got as low as 3845, I believe, something like that. If we close anything below 3880, folks, it's going to look awfully bad coming into this week. So you've got to be really careful. Protect yourself, make sure you're using a stop, and I'll be doing David White's show next, which is one of my favorite quotes. He says, sell when you want to, not when you have to. So make sure that you got to stop in to protect your capital because these markets have a tendency to go a lot farther than your equity can handle. So it's very, very important to follow a really good strategy of not being able to be trapped in something that you can't get out of. Very, very important. We'll be right back with Fibonacci 24-7, Allah, David White. They're sending in for him today. So live every day in an attitude of gratitude, and we'll be back with you in a few moments.


The story is told of a shipwrecked sailor who landed on a South Sea island one of many stories of that sort and he was seized by the natives and They hoisted this man to their shoulders and carried him to the village and put him on a rude throne and said he was going to be king for a year and then He discovered That they did that every year That they chose a man put him on the throne and he was king for a year But after he had been king for a little while he began to wonder what happened to the other kings After the year was up because there didn't seem to be any of them left on the island and Then he discovered that after the year was up They took the king and they put him on a desert island and there he was left to starve to death So this man was wise and he said well, I'm going to be king for a year so he hired people to go out to that desert and Fertilize it and build irrigation systems and build buildings and put trees there and for the whole year They went there and they refurbished that or they furnished that island with every imaginable thing that a person could need and so at the end of the year When they he was banished to the island He didn't starve to death like the others did Now we are all kings For a little while on this earth And our responsibility is to decide what we're going to do with the things God has given us We can keep them here and Have nothing on the other side or we can send them on ahead as we said this morning and We will enjoy them through all eternity. I'm not sure what all that means But that's what the scripture has clearly said to us Jesus said lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven And then he told us how to do it. He said sell that you have and give alms Provide for yourselves bags which wax not old a treasure in the heaven that fail if not Now we live in a world where we have tremendous opportunity To do this with extravagance because we live in a very very needy world There's no end to the needs to which we can give literally and we're going to talk about that tonight I have four points to my message tonight the reality of the world we live in the requirement The resources and the response So first of all, let's talk about the reality Seven billion people live in this world Are you aware that one billion of the seven? Lives on a dollar a day Another two billion of the seven Live on less than two dollars a day In other words nearly half of the world that we live in Struggles to find enough food and water Just to survive another day Almost half of the population of the world That's an incredible fact Some more facts 29,000 children die every day From starvation and preventable disease That's brought on by contaminated water infections malaria, etc 29,000 children in fact to help you think a little bit about that reality while I'm giving this message tonight 1,000 children in the world will die and it is perfectly preventable All they needed was food All they needed was clean water All they needed was proper medical attention to further for the the curable diseases they had But while I'm speaking tonight 1,000 children in the world will die of Causes that could have been prevented To give you a little bit of an idea how many people 29,000 people are the city of Chambersburg is near us It's 20,000 people. So what we're saying is that All the people in Chambersburg in fact even in the larger area of Chambersburg 29,000 people would be dead by this time tomorrow That's how many people we're talking about Every year there's a there's a young people's ministry called teen mania That puts on an event to challenge young people and one year they decided to do a little demonstration To make the reality of the world we live in just a little more real to people So what they did in every session that they had they have this in various parts of the country is they brought a goldfish bowl up and The person took the goldfish out of the bowl and laid him on the podium and then stepped back and let the audience Watch that goldfish flop and flounder and die and in every case Before that happened Somebody couldn't stand it ran up from the audience grabbed the goldfish and put it back into the bowl The problem is you're not there when those 29,000 children die They die in obscurity. They're often in places with that the news media doesn't even reach and Nobody sees them die Somebody has said a single death is a tragedy a million deaths is a statistic But tonight I want you to leave this place with a sense of responsibility For those many many people that have just become a statistic The golden rule suppose you were starving and you knew that some rich teenager Could have saved your life If she hadn't needed that six pair of shoes What would you think if you heard that she was a Christian and you knew what Christianity taught and you died and You knew that this person had the means to save your life and Was not caring. What would you think? 85 850,000 people go or children go to bed hungry every night How much would it take to prevent this mind-boggling tragedy in our world? Well, there are some statistics that people have figured you could go on the internet and get these for yourself 13 billion dollars a year Would provide the basic nutrition for every starving person in the world 13 billion dollars a year You say that's a lot of money Are you aware that American Christians? Spend 21 billion dollars a year on soft drinks if every Christian Gave the money they spent on soft drinks. It would feed every starving person in our world You want to know how much you spend on Christmas gifts? 100 billion a 100 billion dollars would literally feed educate cure almost every problem in Our needy world So we spend on Christmas gifts Three billion dollars a year would say one half million people From blindness that occurs simply because of a lack of vitamin a American Christians spend five billion dollars on bottled water But the most heart-wrenching part of what's going on in our world is the injustice that happens to people that have no choice 246 billion children in our world are in the bonds of child labor And let me read you an actual account My sister is 10 years old Every morning at seven o'clock. She goes to the bonded labor man and every night at nine That's 14 hours later. She comes home He treats her badly. He hits her if he thinks she's working slowly or if she's talking to the other children He yells at her. He comes looking for her. She's sick and cannot go to work. This is a terrible thing for her I don't care about school or playing. I don't care about any of that All I want is to bring my sister home from the bonded labor man for 600 rubies I can bring her home. That is our only chance to get her back But we do not have 600 rubies and we will never have 600 rubies and 600 rubies is $14 all over the third country's world people get into trouble. There's a funeral They cannot pay for or there's an illness. They cannot pay for or they just simply don't have the money to put food on the table And so these children are sold to these bonded labor men And they may earn 10 cents a day and the interest gets way ahead of the amount They owe and they will work for years to pay off 10 15 $20 that was borrowed To me that is heart-wrenching in fact so heart-wrenching.  I?  Well, you know what goes on in our plain communities What is the requirement? What does God think about all of this? God has repeatedly admonished us and warned us about our responsibility It's a little bit like the whole subject of economics and this one is related There are dozens of scriptures. In fact, I want to turn you to a bunch of them tonight I want you to see them for yourself turn to Proverbs 24 verses 11 and 12. I Would like tonight to put such a burden on your heart that it would forever cure you of your Selfish materialism if you're involved in it. I hope there are people here tonight that have already dealt with it But if you haven't my purpose tonight Is to make you aware of the fact That your indulgence is somebody else's suffering It's not something you can do with impunity It costs something for somebody else for you to be selfish with the resources you have that they don't Proverbs 24 verses 11 and 12 Reads this way if thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death and I just read you some accounts and Those that are ready to be slain if thou sayest Behold we knew it not Now that may have been true years ago Without all the electronic media we have today, but there is nobody today that can say we don't know this is happening It's on your cell phone. It's on your computer. It's it's I mean It's just there if you want to know it you can know it and it says don't you say to the Lord we didn't know it Does he know does not he that ponders the heart consider it and he that keepeth I sold does he not know it He shall not and shall he not render to every man according to his works So don't say I didn't know it. It was it was they were statistics. I didn't actually see it happening I was don't don't say that there's not a single person sitting here tonight Especially after this message that can leave this place and say I don't know it I'm going to buy my 20th pair of shoes or I'm going to buy my dream car Or I'm going to build my dream house or I'm going to continue some other indulgence when you leave this place tonight You will not be able to say I did not know it. Would you turn to Proverbs 28 verse 27? He that giveth under the poor shall not lack Now God said that I didn't that's a promise He that hideeth his eyes shall have many a curse Now I don't know what that means, but I don't want to find it out He that gives shall have no lack He that hideeth his eyes shall be cursed Would you turn to Proverbs 21 13 and these are Old Testament scriptures? This one says Who so stop with his ears at the cry of the poor? He also shall cry himself But shall not be heard Jeremiah 22 Jeremiah 22 verses 16 and 17 he that judges the cause of the poor in the needy Then it was well with him Was not this to know me saith the Lord you see what he's saying there to judge the cause of the poor and needy is what it Means to know God But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for thy covetousness and for to shed innocent blood and for oppression and for violence to do it All right, let's turn to Ezekiel 16 These are strong scriptures and I was very convicted My life needs some changes in this area as well and I intend to make them Ezekiel 16 49 Buzz but this behold this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom now if you were to ask most people What was the iniquity of Sodom they would say homosexuality and it was but that's not even mentioned here Here was the iniquity of Sodom pride fullness of bread Abundance of idleness was in her in her and in her daughters Neither did she strengthen strengthen the hand of the poor and needy Now apparently God puts Sexual immorality sort of in the same category that he puts this problem That makes it pretty serious to me All right apparently ignoring the poor is somewhere in the same category as sexual sin in God's eyes God takes our attitude toward the poor as you can see from these scriptures very seriously He has a special eye on the poor not only for their need But for your response to their need. He's watching you see God could deal with all these inequities He could does save the whole world without the missionaries God could do all of that But he leaves these situations For his children to accept Responsibility and do what needs to be done and he takes it very seriously and he's watching he's watching my attitude toward the poor Just as he's watching my attitude toward the lost And he takes it very seriously. I Want you to turn to Matthew 25 the classic scripture now in the New Testament and we'll just simply read it It doesn't really need a lot of comment. I'm just going to read the entire passage verses 31 through 46 When the Son of man shall come in his glory and all the holy angels with him Then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory and Before him shall be gathered all nations and he shall separate them one from another as a shepherd divided his sheep from the goats and He shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left then shall the king say unto them on his right hand Come ye blessed of my father Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world For I was in hunger and you gave me meat. I Was thirsty and you gave me drink. I Was a stranger and you took me in Naked and you clothed me.  I was in prison and you came unto me Then shall the righteous answer him saying Lord when saw we in hunger and fed thee or thirsty and gave thee drink When saw we the a stranger and took the in or naked and clothed thee or When saw we the sick or in prison and came unto thee and the king shall answer and say unto them Barely I say unto you In as much as you have done it unto the one of the least of these my brethren you have done it unto me Then shall he say also to them on the left hand Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels for I was in hunger and You gave me no meat. I was thirsty And you gave me no drink. I was a stranger and you took me not in Naked and you clothed me not sick and in prison and you visited me not Then shall they also answer him saying Lord When saw the we unhunger or thirst or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not minister unto thee Then shall he answer them saying Barely I say unto you in as much as you did it not unto one of the least of these You did it not unto me and These shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal Well, most people are going to say well, I thought the judgment in the end Was going to be whether a person surrendered in faith and obedience to Christ? That is true But it's interesting that when the when the soldiers came to John the Baptist Or are the people came to John the Baptist and he preached that scorching sermon to them and then they said well, what shall we do? He said if you have two coats give one away If you have more food than what you need give the extra away What strange advice you would have thought he'd have said well you need to repent He was saying you need to repent, but he said that's fruit for repentance If you were asked most people what is fruit for repentance? They'd give you an altogether different picture John says fruit of repentance is what you do with your stuff Zacchaeus came to Christ. He said behold my goods I give to the poor and I'm going to give back Doubled or however much to the people that I wronged and and he said all of that. You know what Jesus said to him? Today is salvation come to this house now if salvation if genuine repentance is giving away your extra stuff and if salvation is proved By what you do with your extra stuff. I asked myself How much salvation are we experiencing and Jesus makes it very clear here that that's what the judgment is going to be based on the Evidence that you have surrendered your life in faith and obedience to Christ will manifest itself specifically in this manner Or according to John the Baptist according to the examples that kids and according to what Jesus says here There has not been a genuine repentance. There has not been genuine faith in Christ There has not been a surrender to his Lordship there has not been an obedience to his commands because he makes it very clear what we're supposed to do and The thing that troubles me is the church for years has failed to really emphasize this fact of the gospel There's a great blind spot in American Christianity and it's amazing sometimes what kind of blind spots Christians can have are you aware in this country 150 years ago Christians defended slavery and we look now and we say how in the world could they possibly have defended slavery But they did you can be that blind and tonight.  That's a pretty awful Message and they don't intend to for to do any good But I'm afraid they understand the gospel better sometimes than we do The widow gave all that she had she gave her living that literally means she had nothing for the next day and Jesus said She gave more than all the rest put together. That's Jesus standard not how much you gave but how much you have left You know, I hear people say well this man's really rich, but he really gives well according to that parable I don't think God measures how much you give he measures what it cost you to give So that's the requirement. It's very clear from the scriptures That God expects us to know what's going on in our world and to Respond to those needs to the extent of our ability and He will hold us accountable Let's talk about the resources for a few moments. The United States is the richest nation in the world It has one half of the world's wealth and 5% of the world's population Did you hear me? It has one half of the world's wealth and 5% of the world's population There are 160 million adults in the United States who claim to be Christians Now listen to this if each person who claims to be a Christian would give $15 a month it would literally wipe out starvation in the world Now I understand a lot of those situations where people are starving our political situation You can't even get the stuff to them. I understand that we're only talking in hypothetical figures here $15 a month from every professing Christian in the United States would basically solve the problem of world hunger That's all it would take you wouldn't take a lot just that much Not only would it do that it would also provide safe drinking water for all children and it would educate every child Who's not in school? Let's turn to 2nd Corinthians chapter 8 2nd Corinthians chapter 8 There's only one reason why God has given us more than what we need. Did you know that? There's only one reason why God has given anybody more than they need and he tells it here in this passage 2nd Corinthians chapter 8 it says Verse 13 for I mean not that other men be eased and ye burdened but by an equality That now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want and Their abundance may be a supply for your want that there may be equality If you have more than enough to meet your needs, there's only one reason why you've been given more than enough So you can help those who do not have more than enough. That's the only reason It's not yours to do with what you want to it's that's not the purpose at all In fact, are you aware of the fact that the great practical theme? I said practical theme of the scriptures is equity The prophets scored Israel time after time for inequity, which is what the word iniquity means The word iniquity is the word inequity It means for you to respond with your resources in a way that is not equitable You lavish them on yourselves and there are other people in the world who are dying to support that extravagance That's inequity Iniquity and God hates it And he says here that the reason some people have more than enough is so they can give to those who don't have enough So things can be equal out That's the only purpose that you have more than what you need I was telling a friend of mine about a brother in our community who farms organically He feeds his cattle very little grain He says it's too expensive He graces his cattle. He has this whole farm basically an alfalfa. He grows no corn and He makes a decent living and He said my cows don't get sick. I don't have any mastitis. I don't have any twisted stomachs I have my cows stay in the herd for 12 years instead of two or three like the people who push push them with energy And he was telling me what for a wonderful experience. He has farming. He has healthy cows. He makes a living Everything's fine. I was telling a friend of mine about that and he said no this this was a good plain Mennonite He said yeah, he said you can make a living doing that, but you can't get ahead What so what do you mean by getting ahead what he said you'll never come up with the money to buy the next farm See that's our mentality to get ahead and my question is to get ahead of whom God He said if you have extra money, it's not yours to do with as you please It's here because there are many people in the world who need that excess and God for some reason has given it to American people and American Christians and what he's expecting to happen is for this to flow from America To other parts of the world so there can at least be some semblance of equality to worldwide This is an unbelievable opportunity an unbelievable opportunity. Let's look at the response Let's turn to second Corinthians. We're right here in Corinthians. Let's look at chapter 9. I Like this verse verse 6 of chapter 9 But this I say He which so is sparingly shall reap also sparingly and He that's so it's bound to flee shall reap also bound to flee now. This is in the context of giving Read eight and nine. That's the context The person who gives sparingly will reap sparingly and the person who gives bound to flee will reap sparingly Every man according as he purposed it in his heart So I let him give not grudgingly or necessity for God. Love is a cheerful giver Do you know what the Greek word for cheerful there is? Hilaros The word from which we get hilarious God loves a hilarious giver. I mean when he gives he's in Hilarity it is the most uplifting thing he can think of to do. That's the kind of giver God loves. Let's continue and God is able to make all grace this verse is often quoted out of context This is in the context if you're not living as as I was describing this verse does not apply to you God is able to make all grace abound toward you that she always having all sufficiency in all things may abound unto every good work That's to the hilarious giver. I think if I asked for a raise of hand every person here would say they want that kind of blessing I do God has clearly told us how you can have it and if you turn to Philippians it says Let's turn to it Philippians chapter 4. I should be able to quote it right off I'm getting older and absent-minded and I can't always quote. Oh, yes verse 19 My God shall supply all your needs and again. This is in the context of giving Paul's commending the people at in in Asia, I'm sorry in northern Greece. That's the one I got think Philippine sorry, he's commending the people in Philippi for sending an offering to him And I want to read what he says here verse 17 before we get to verse 19 not because I desire a gift But I desire fruit that may abound to your account Paul says the gift you sent to me I'm happy you sent it not because you sent it to me But I am so happy with what's going to happen to you as a result your you have set to your account a bounding gift and reward and Then he goes down in verse 19 and he says but my God shall supply all your need According to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus because of their response Now if God gives us according to his riches, that's a little bit different from him giving out of it out of his riches Let me explain the difference If I were a millionaire and you had a $50,000 hospital bill and I paid 40,000 of it You would say that was a pretty good gift But that give you no clue how wealthy I really am But if I paid you a whole $50,000 bill and gave you $25,000 on top of it Just as a gift let me just give you some clue how how wealthy I am and God gives us To the cheerful giver to the hilarious giver God gives according to his riches not out of his riches Commensurate with his wealth That's how he gives This is a tremendous principle. I want all of you to leave tonight to be hilarious givers That's what I want to have happen All right Let's turn to Matthew chapter 6. I mean the gospel is just full of this And I don't understand I don't understand why these themes are not preached They are practical themes everybody Wings their hands in the plane circles and says we're drowning in our materialism Listen, we're in a war against the world and the world is basically a materialistic worldly values Only the things you can see and feel and touch and experiment with and We're in a war against that and The best way to win this war is extravagant giving to deal with this whole problem in our lives Matthew chapter 6 verses 1 to 4 Take heed that you do not your alms before men to be seen of them Otherwise now alms is giving I think the word alms here to the Jewish mind meant any kind of righteous deeds But we think of it specifically in terms of giving Therefore when thou doest sign alms Do not sound a trumpet before thee as the hypocrites doing the synagogues and in the streets that they may have glory of men Barely I said to you they had their reward But when thou doest alms let not thy left hand know what thy right hand do it that that alms may be in secret And this is the part that excites me that the Father which seeeth in secret shall reward thee openly Now in reaction to the Roman Catholics that had their means of grace and I mentioned those I think in my other message We have gone to the other extreme and have said there are no means of grace There are means of grace here. He gives one of them When we give alms God rewards us openly Not necessarily with alms Let me give you an example of a man Who God rewarded openly in a tremendous way and You probably did not know what was behind the scenes. Let me tell you what was behind the scenes His name was John Wesley Now listen to this John Wesley chose to live on what today would be a salary of $20,000 a year and he never changed that through his entire life That's what John Wesley lived on $20,000 a year now John Wesley wrote many books and was involved in many enterprises and he earned approximately $160,000 a year He never took out of that more than $20,000 he gave a hundred forty thousand dollars of that And if you visit the the Wesley Museum in London and you go down to the basement of that church where he preached And there's a museum of John Wesley's life and I stood there convicted Here was a man who was known widely. He was famous. He could have had whatever he wanted There'd have been Christian people would have been glad to give him pretty much whatever honor whatever position he wanted but here was a man who cared about the poor in London and There was exhibit after exhibit of the lengths that he would go to to just help one prisoner who was in trouble or one Poor person who was in trouble John Wesley was an extravagant giver. In fact at one point in his life tea became expensive and he quit drinking tea So he would have that much more to give to the Lord those are the kinds of decisions he made and like I said if you go down there and look at his museum he was involved with jails and and Prisoners he was involved with the poor houses. He was involved with Getting people to think about freeing the slaves in England Everybody who was in need captured this man's heart and here's an actual account Wesley had just finished buying some pictures for his room When one of the chambermaids came to his door It was a winter day and he noticed that she had only a thin linen gown to wear for protection against the cold He reached into his pocket to give her some money for a coat and found that he had little left It struck him that the Lord was not pleased with how he had spent his money He asked himself will thy master say well done now good and faithful servant Now has to door and thy walls with the money that might have screened this poor creature from the cold. Oh Justice oh mercy are not these pictures the blood of this poor woman There's a reason why at his death somebody made this comment about Wesley When Wesley left this world He left a battered hat a worn coat a tattered Bible and The Methodist Church and that was not just a happenstance that whole statement is one statement That's why God blessed him. I want you to turn to a very interesting scripture that's a very often misunderstood Luke chapter 16 And I'm gonna take the time to exposit this a little bit chapter 16 Jesus says to his disciples beginning in verse 1 there was a certain rich man Which had a steward in the same was accused in him they did wasted his goods and he called him and said to him How is it that I hear this of thee given account of that stewardship for thou may us no longer be steward Then the steward said within himself. What shall I do my Lord's taken taken from me the stewardship? I'm too lazy to dig I'm paraphrasing a little bit here and to beg I am ashamed I'm resolved what to do Now when I'm put out of the stewardship they may receive me into their houses So he called into every one of his Lord's debtors. He called them unto him and said into the first How much does thou owe my Lord and he said a hundred meshes of oil and he said take your bill quickly and write 50 He was still giving away his Lord's money unjustly Then he said to another how much of a style and he said a hundred measures of weed and he said and they him take that Bill and write for score so you owe a hundred measures just write 80. We'll just give you 20 He had no authorization to do this, but he was getting prepared for getting fired and The Lord not Jesus, but his Lord Who he had ripped off? commended him Because he had done wisely For the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light this man knew that it was to his Advantage to make friends with his money with his Lord's money And we don't understand that our Lord says do it and we don't do it Verse 9 and I say unto you make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness that when you fail They may receive you and everlasting habitation. I'm not sure what all that means, but that's what it says You're to do what this guy did. That's what you're to do with your money Now here's the part I wanted to look at verse 10 He that is faithful in that which is leased is faithful also in much and he that is unjust in least is also Unjust also in much and then he tells you what he's talking about if therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous man Who will commit to your trust the kind of riches that John Wesley experienced? spiritually That's what he's saying God says this is a test. I give you money That's lease. That's that's that's leased on my scale of importance And I'm gonna watch to see what you do with it and Then when I see what you've done with your money I will decide whether to give you the true riches which is the kind of riches that John Wesley enjoyed in his ministry Does that explain to you? Some things that you may be often wondered about As to why there is so little power so little gifting so little effect of our witness and testimony It could just be that the Lord is looking to this materialism that we all know exists and the waste of our resources on Extravagance and luxuries and frivolous things and he says if that's what they do to the thing that I consider the least important I will never give them the things that are really important. This is amazing Let me turn to now. Let's look at a few positive We're looking at some positive examples. Let's look at Isaiah 58. We must close here directly These are promises tremendous promises verses 10 and 11 It's in the context of fasting, but this is what he says and if I'll draw out thy soul to the hungry and Satisfy the afflicted soul Then shall thy light rise in obscurity John Wesley was not obscure So it was all said and done everybody knew who John Wesley was and I'm not saying you should seek for fame But this is what it says then shall thy light rise in obscurity and thy darkness be as noon day What if you reach out your hand to the poor? well And Hurricane Katrina the Christians do some of this and what they do Proves what I've been saying all evening After Hurricane Katrina Christians flooded the city with food water supplies labor and shoulders to cry on and It was obvious to the people of New Orleans that the Christians were doing the lion's share of the work in restoring their city and A Jewish doctor looking on made this comment when it was over There are no longer any agnostics in New Orleans Eric Camille is a dear brother that visited our congregation from Tallahassee, Florida And so it was his first contact with anti-baptist. He looked up anti-baptist Shippensburg Christian Fellowship came up He traveled the whole way from Tallahassee with his dear wife to visit our congregation. He said to me Anti-baptism is beautiful It is absolutely beautiful I did not know there were people like this exist But the thing that surprises me is that you people keep it in the four walls of your church buildings He said you folks should be down on the streets of the cities Helping the poor lifting the fallen He and his wife take what resources they have and he's not a wealthy man And they go down to the slums of the city on a regular basis take food down there and prepare it on the sidewalks and feed the hungry Every now and then they take a loaf of bread and hang it on every door in the poor part of the city And they are down there all the time and he said I don't understand you people why you're not taking this to the streets And he hasn't joined any of our churches as a result Because he sees that as a tremendous blind spot John 15 says that if we obey the Lord our joy will be full. Let me read you an account Sunday in our church when we were studying the story of the rich young man in Mark 10 I received the following email from one of our members My wife and I went home Emptied all our clothes under the bed got several bags of canned goods and all the baby clothes Our son has grown out of in addition to the toys. He doesn't play with anymore I took several hundred dollars of cash that I was saving to upgrade the front lawn by the way, how much do you put into your front lawn and I can't imagine it. I cannot imagine the money people spend on their lawn and Drove over to the projects downtown and prayed I prayed for the people I didn't know who were about to receive what I had too much up in The first house was a man of 30 who had a baby and needed some work clothes perfect I had my clothes to give him and baby toys and clothes and he needed money for groceries So I gave him a hundred dollars The next house had a couple who needed clothing for the wife and money for a car payment So I gave her my wife's clothes and a hundred dollars We prayed with each family and told them we came with God I got such a rush out of this that we ran home got more things to give away Then my wife and I are consistently serving at the homeless shelter downtown And I'm going to start teaching art and graphics at the homeless learning center He got a charge out of this. I asked you tonight. What do you get your kicks out of? What do you get your rush out of? Is it that new electronic gadget? Is it that extravagant automobile that you don't need that's way more than transportation that was bought to make a statement to prove Something is that what you get your rush out of why don't you do this? You will be surprised at what it will do for you Take $500 go downtown to do what this man did see what happens Tertullian identified the outpouring of sacrificial love as the key factor to explain the multitudes that came to Christ in those first centuries Albert Einstein said the world is a dangerous place Not because of those who do evil but because of those who look on and do nothing We are to overcome evil with good That's what we're supposed to be doing Gandhi one time was asked by by East Stanley Jones East Stanley Jones Desperately tried to get Gandhi to make a commitment to Christ and so he asked Gandhi one time What is the hindrance to you responding to Jesus and God is said the Christians? suppose the Mennonites repented of their materialism and became known for their sacrificial and Extravagant generosity and obedience to Christ now most people do look at us as a people who are There when there's disaster I mean there's some of this going on But they also know that we have piles of money left and we are known for our wealth We are known for being people who have money Suppose we were known as people who have depleted ourselves of our resources and have been the most generous people on the face of the earth You could help to change that we could have a different generation coupled with non-resistance This would be the most powerful testimony in the world Will we be remembered as the generation that rose up to conquer world poverty the best we could with our small numbers and Answered the tragedies world of worldwide greed and oppression with Christ-like compassion or will we be written down finally when somebody writes our history as The most selfish generation that loved its soft drinks fancy cars cosmetics Extravagant clothes expensive electronic gadgets Oversized houses and costly vacations This is serious This is serious. God is not mocked. He says whatsoever a man saw that show I also reap and by the way, that's the emphasis there is not on the negative. Would you turn to it Galatians chapter 6 I Mean all my life when this scripture was preached. It was always preached in the negative, but that's not where the emphasis rests here.  I'm here to inspire and I'm preaching to myself Galatians verse 7 Be not deceived. God is not mocked for whatsoever a man so that shall he also reap for he that so to his flesh show Of the flesh reap corruption, but now here's the here's the here's the real emphasis But he that so to the spirit show of the spirit reap life everlasting and let us not be weary and well-doing for in due season We shall reap if we faint not as we have therefore opportunity Let us do good unto all men Especially those who are of the household of faith and you have Christian brothers and sisters around the world who are starving It's not the high cost of living. It is the cost of high living And I'm amazed at what has happened in my generation Let me give an example out of my own home We took a bath once a week. I Grew up on a farm and that was an unusual every that's what everybody did you took a bath once once a week and changed your clothes and mom washed on Monday morning all The clothes for a family of 13 and she was done with her washing When my twin brothers were born which they were the last in the family my father thought my mother needed some help So he went and bought her an automatic washer and an automatic dryer and put a bathroom in the house and Then we washed took a bath every day and I recommend that by the way I'm not recommending we necessarily go back, but I just want to show you what happened Then we took a bath all 13 of us took a bath every day and put on clean clothes And my mother washed every day with her automatic washer and she had less time than she had before When I was a boy we visited all over the community during the week today people visit maybe on Sunday But you'd never go to visit someone on Tuesday evening, especially unannounced and we never called anybody We just got in the car and said let's go visit we children to say to our parents If we get all the work done early will we go visiting tonight because we love to go visiting Yeah, sure, so we'd all get in the car Tuesday night. We drive to the first place unannounced and no they're not home So we go out the lane go to the next place and we kept going till someone was at home My father had not eight brothers and sisters who were nine in his family My mother had ten brothers and sisters who were eleven in her family We visited all of those people maybe two or three times a year plus many friends There's nobody today that visits like that that I know why Because we have our automatic washers grandmother had a carpet in the front room She the only maintenance that carpet got by the way Well, she picked up the Lynn every now and then took it out on the line And I remember this and you took a carpet beater and you beat the dust out of it And then you took it back in and there it stayed for a whole year So the children say let's help grandma out Let's buy her a vacuum cleaner So they buy her vacuum cleaner now She doesn't have to take the carpet out and hang it over the clothesline anymore and beat the dust out of it What do you don't know is now grandma is going to put the carpet in every room of the house And she's going to sweep it every day every other day And that's what's happened It's not the high cost of living. It's the cost of high living and we have put ourselves in bondage With our luxuries and our high expectations of what life should be and The key to freedom from this deadly thing is to begin to be extravagant with our compassion and begin to sacrifice And somehow bring some sense of equity between us and the needs of our world We are in a battle and I'm concluding with a little story in the late 1940s the US government commissioned William Francis Gibbs to work with the United States lines to build a Navy carrier the likes of which had never been built before and it was to cost 80 million dollars This was to be equipped to carry 15,000 troops In 1952 the SS United States was completed it could travel at 51 miles per hour faster than any other ship It could cover 10,000 miles without stopping for food or supplies It could travel anywhere in the world in less than 10 days. It was the fastest and most reliable troop carrier in the world The problem is this It never carried any troops Somebody convinced the line to turn this ship into a luxury liner for heads of state and celebrities and Till they got finished refurbishing it it could carry only 2,000 passengers instead of 15,000 It had 695 state rooms for dining salons three bars two theaters five acres of open depth and a heat the Deck and a heated swimming pool and fully air-condition And it was no longer a vessel for battle But a means of indulgence so wealthy people could comfortably ride across the Atlantic Ocean Did you know the church has designed for battle? We're in a war Christ wants to mobilize this whole audience for mission I'm not talking necessarily about foreign mission, but that's included He wants to mobilize every one of you for mission for the needs. We've talked about we've talked about tonight plus the spiritual needs Have we turned the church into a luxury liner? There's a song we sang at the beginning it reads this way in your costly temples praying let thy kingdom come We pray our but of words of idle meaning if from these we turn away The people I talked about here tonight Are we willing to change the church into a troop carrier for battle? Are we willing to obey the clear orders of Jesus that we have a responsibility to the needs of our world? Are we willing to forsake comforts to meet the great need and danger in the inner cities? Disease-ridden third world countries and hostile regions of the Middle East. Are we willing to make those kinds of sacrifice? Are we willing to make the richest country of the world a means for exalting Christ through the investment of our resources? Pilgrims have lots to invest In the last century an American tourist paid a visit to the renowned Polish rabbi wholefets China He was astonished to see that the rabbi had a simple room with a few books plus a table and a cot the puzzled American asked my Where's your furniture? Wholefets replied where's yours? Huh, I'm just a tourist. I'm just here passing through the rabbi replied So am I


Carlos Alcaroz vs. Borna Chorich is the first semi-final for the men's Madrid open for 2023. And both have been very impressive to get to the semi-finals. Chorich started the tournament off as a number 17 seed and would get a buy in the first round. And the second round he take on the wild card Gaston, which was no problem for Chorich. Getting through in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3. And the third round he take on the 12th seed, her catch. And after a close first set, they eventually get through in straights, 7-6, 6-3. And the fourth round he take on the 29th seed for Kena, who had just taken out Runa in an epic match in the third round. And this would be the toughest match so far for Chorich. Having to come back from a set down, playing over 3 hours to eventually win in 3, 6-3, 6-7, 7-6. To advance to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals, Chorich would take on the lucky loser, Altmaier, who had been having a dream run to this stage. But this was no problem for Chorich. Getting through in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3. Alcaroz started the tournament off as a number 1 seed and would get a buy in the first round. In the second round he take on Roussevore. And after being down a set, he'd have to fight back to win. 2-6, 6-4, 6-2. In the third round he take on the 26th seed Dmitrov. This was no problem for Alcaroz. Getting through in straight sets, 6-2, 7-5. In the fourth round he take on the 13th seed Zverev. The man that he beat in last year's final. And this result was the same, if not better, with Alcaroz demolishing Zverev. 6-1, 6-2 to get to another Madrid quarter-final. In the quarter-finals, Alcaroz would take on the number 10 seed Hashinov, who had just taken out Rubelev in the previous round. And after a very close second set, being down 5-2 and coming back, Alcaroz would get through in straights, 6-4, 7-5, to advance to the semi-finals. These guys have actually never crossed paths before, which is kind of crazy, because over the last couple of years, they've both had very good results, but they've never had to cross paths. They were supposed to play at the US Open last year, and unfortunately, Chariz lost early, and that didn't happen. Taking a look at shot quality, thanks to Tennis Insights. Over the last 52 weeks, one of Chariz has been averaging an 8.1 on serve, much higher than Alcaroz's 7.6. But on the returns, Alcaroz has the edge with a 7.0 to a 6.9 from Chariz. The forehand also in favor of Alcaroz at an 8.1 compared to Chariz's 7.8, and the backhands are locked at a 7.6. So if Chariz is going to win this one, he's going to have to serve really well, and also may have to avoid hitting forehand, stick to the backhand, and may have to avoid Alcaroz's forehand trying to hit the backhand instead, because that forehand is lethal. And the shot quality is calculated in real time by analyzing each shot's speed, spin, depth, width, and the impact it has on the opponent. This is a new way of analyzing matches, brought to you by Tennis Insights. If you want to check out more, you can go check them out on Twitter. Link down in the description. This is going to be a very intriguing matchup, because these guys have never played before, and they're very, very skilled at their best, but I don't have to go with Alcaroz in three sets here. I'll give Chariz a set, because I think he's good enough to get a set, and he has beaten some big names at this event before, but I don't think he's going to get through Alcaroz. I think Alcaroz in three in the final, and he'll play either City Pass or someone in the final, but let me know down in the comments below who you think is going to win this one.


Water Safety Plans are a tool that was developed by the International Water Association together with the World Health Organization and it's a tool that is used to comprehensively look at a utility and put in measures to control any hazards that might come to interfere with the quality of whatever they provide. We want to ensure that all the utilities in Africa actually take up this tool and use it because then it's a guarantee for water quality in Africa. We do trainings for these utilities and also we bring utilities together in what we call a water operators partnership agreement which takes about 18 months and the idea is that we create a peer-to-peer learning forum for these utilities. We do trainings for them and we guide them through the water safety plan development process after which they begin the implementation process and we work through with them. Beyond the agreement we also encourage them to take up more activities that they might be interested in together so that they can actually attract funding to help them with the implementation of the water safety plans because some of the implementation procedures that they need to take actually involve lots of resources. As we know the population of Africa is one of the highest growing in the world and because of the urbanization we also need to guarantee the health of the people. I would like to encourage the utilities in Africa to actually take up this tool because then it will help them to guarantee the services they provide and also the water quality that they provide to these populations in Africa.


Hey everyone. Thank you for the support you've given us. We hope you're all having a great weekend so far. As you know, Psych2Go's vision is to make psychology accessible for everyone, as well as occasionally covering topics around mental health. Our mission is to raise mental health awareness and reduce the stigma behind it. Do you often find yourself developing strong forms of attraction to certain people you meet? That's pretty normal. However, these forms of attractions are sometimes a one-sided affair. To complicate things further, do you find yourself unable to visualize that it remains one-sided because you adore them so much? This video is for you. Wondering if you should continue or move on? Here are six signs that it's time to give up on your crush. One, they're already in a relationship. This one is the most important sign to realize it's time to move on. Telling yourself that you'll wait for them will only bring you misery and sadness. You can't wait forever. Furthermore, your crush is clearly already focusing on someone else. There are so many wonderful people in the world. You're only hurting yourself if you still put your attention on someone who's already taken. It's also better to keep your options open. Two, you're in the friend zone. If you and your crush seem to be best friends, it's highly possible that they only see you as a good friend and nothing more than that. Despite having the joy of receiving attention from them, you need to realize that it probably will not progress past being more than friends. Although some people do escape the friend zone, the odds are not favorable. It's advisable to accept they probably only see you as a good friend and move on. That being said, you might want to be honest about your feelings with them so that the situation is clear and there's some form of closure for you. What's the best case scenario? Well, maybe they have a crush on you too, but if they don't, you may need time away from them to sort out your emotions. But hey, you'll still be friends with them. Three, they barely know you or acknowledge you. Does your crush barely know who you are? If so, you might be in a difficult position. If you've tried getting their attention or tried having interactions with them, but they seem to be uninterested, it could be because they're just simply not into you. If your attempts at getting their attention seem to be in vain, perhaps it's time to move on. People often feel like they're a failure, but that's not always the case. It's just that your crush might not be the one for you. After all, it takes two hands to clap. Four, you find yourself obsessing. Have you been told by your friends that you might have an obsession? If that's the case, it's definitely time to move on. We, as people, are often blinded by love and think that some of our actions are okay. If you realize that thinking of your crush is affecting your daily lifestyle and routines, you might need to take a step back. Also, if you find yourself being told or realizing that you are portraying obsessive behavior, it is advisable that you should move on as it's mentally unhealthy. Five, you're being led on. Ever find yourself having quality conversations with your crush and feeling pure joy, but still feel confused because of their hot and cold behavior? It's difficult to see the situation in another perspective when so much attention is being received alongside the happiness. If your interactions with your crush fail to progress further into actual dates, your crush might just be leading you on without the sincere intention of actually getting to know you through dates. It's better to move on with some self-respect. Six, your crush might be using you. Has your crush ever given you attention only to realize that they just need something from you? Whether it's a small favor of borrowing your revision notes to getting their daily dose of attention from you or borrowing money from you. If they only contact you for something and you don't hear from them when you try to have an actual conversation, they might be using you. As much as you think you like them, you should probably move on because you're so much more than that. Some things in life cannot be forced. If it happens, it happens. Forcing it may bring unhappiness. Sometimes we have to let it be. It's better to learn how to move on and let go of the things in life we can't control. There's no shame in letting go. Do you find yourself having been in those positions before? Let us know in the comments below. If you find this video insightful, be sure to share it with someone who would benefit from it, too.
