ChatGPT is a powerful large language model developed by OpenAI which can offer exciting opportunities for students and educators. It provides personalized feedback, increased accessibility, interactive conversations, lesson preparation, evaluation, and new ways to teach complex concepts. However, it also presents some challenges to the traditional education and research system, such as the possibility of cheating on online exams, human-like text generation, diminished critical thinking skills, and difficulties in evaluating information generated by ChatGPT. This paper examines these potential opportunities and threats from the perspectives of both students and educators. For programming learning, we explore how ChatGPT can help students improve their programming skills through code generation from problem descriptions, pseudocode generation of algorithms from texts, and code correction. We validate the generated codes with an online judge system to evaluate their accuracy. Additionally, we conduct surveys with students and teachers to understand how ChatGPT supports programming learning and teaching. Finally, we present the survey results and analysis. This article was authored by M.D. Mostafizer-Roman and Yutaka Watnob. We are article.tv, links in the description below.

Yo Hey, what's up, buddy? Oh? Not too much. How about yourself? I'm marvelous. Thanks for joining the show. I Appreciate it. I know you're busy. I think this is the first time I've talked to you I want to say I don't remember anything else Yeah, voice to voice we've had our we've had our goes on Twitter I leave I've never tried to karate fight you before but we've had our goes. Okay. Okay. Everybody my audio is good boys I think it's pretty good Is it echoing back to your mind at all? No, I sound fine Okay, I hear fine. If it does I just put on a headphone or something Everything sounds good, but yeah. Well, first of all, I want to congratulate you. I know we are similar in the Fatherhood, I think this is our first Madden at least launched with being a father, right? Yeah Yeah, I got my like few months behind yours. I think you said yours nine minus six. Yeah So how are you dealing with that?  I have I have daycare my own Hers hers is Fluctuate so sometimes she goes in all day. Sometimes it's just noon to four So whenever she's home or whenever she goes to work I got to watch them during the day and then I wind up streaming, you know from eight o'clock So sometimes four in the morning and then I gotta watch when we don't live by any of our parents Like we live our closest siblings are two hours away So we're kind of on a island here on our own You don't want to do any daycare or hire a nanny or anything like that No, I don't think so. I think I think in the grand scheme of being a Gamer, I think the biggest blessing is be able to spend time with him. It's it's really been taxing but I think it's I think it's kind of Levels from that though. I mean, it's a lot you stream a lot and they didn't do the YouTube videos Yeah, well, I got mr. McCullough do my YouTube videos for the most part So that that's yeah, that's helping me At least, you know, I'm like alright if I if I pay for it, I got to put some YouTube videos out Right, so that's definitely helping me for the most part and it's going good though But it's definitely been a different year. It's been it's been tough, but I'm glad we're both handling it pretty well Now one of the reasons I asked you to be on here because I would you had made the comment about The competitive was the worst ever man, and I didn't want to talk on Twitter because it's tough to really get people's Manurisms and their sarcasm and their level of intensity through typing You know, it's just I feel like you it's easier to take it wrong than it is to take it right, you know For the most part with typing you can't see how angrily I'm hitting the keyboard I yeah, yeah for sure like I didn't know and you don't know how serious people are behind it But before we get into that I do want to ask you about the patch and you probably played for I know I watched you play a little bit today. Did is the patch successful? Was it bad? Is it terrible? Like what is your overall opinions on now? I'm sure you voice today, but I would love to hear them Yeah, I like okay, so There's still major flaws with Madden that we both know and see on a daily basis, you know guys acting out there like traffic cones Like it like basically you're guiding one user and ten idiots out there But like overall like the patch if they do the emergency patch they talked about with RPOs and include the the issues of Players freezing or when you try to make routes and stuff, right? Like your players you just can't make them if they fix that if they fix a few the other things They've changed the way some coverages play, but that's something that we can adapt to like you know cover twos and are bumping My guys 30 yards down the field.  I gotta find a new cover to 30 yard beater I guess but Overall like the patch outside of people's like literal like game not playing and people like literally getting destroyed out of solo Challenges right like their games are crashing. They're losing the solo battles. They're there.  Oh, yeah, and you know money spent but other people are the same way That that just can't happen, right? Oh, yeah, the worst thing that can happen to somebody is losing their game and losing their progress, right? Like say you play like a single-player game and your safe file corrupts. How pissed are you? How much are you gonna play that game going forward?   How about you? I feel like the bugs have been a problem with the game the whole time You know, I've never had a I never thought the game was terrible in its, you know And it's skeleton so to speak is really just you know, just the The glitchy stuff like the the extra the squiggly lines all over the field Obviously the game crashing is terrible. It really is just like the not the way it plays just the way it works if that makes sense like the way it Just Doesn't seem to function properly as a video game sometimes, you know the glitchy stuff rather than the actual gameplay Is what has always held this game back for the, you know, a month and a half. It's been out You and I like see this game so differently on that aspect like when I yell at the game I yell at the devs when you yell at the game you yell at your opponent I've noticed this watching your stream too.  I normally just yell at my opponent because that's what i'm playing like I don't know and they're they're the ones that choose and and more often than not um I normally get more mad when when they're they're actually popping me a little bit That's that's when you get a little bit more angry with them, but uh, I just think that's more about just The comp competitive side really just like That's the person i'm playing. I mean i'm not playing the devs. I don't really You know, and I'm always you know, what's that? Go ahead I don't want to cut you off No, I'm just I've never been The devs aren't the reason i'm losing or giving up first downs, you know I mean I feel like I've always been an accountable person for the most part Like I'd need to do it on my own, you know, it's not anybody else's fault but my own I normally just yell at my opponent because they're on the other side of the sticks pretty much.   He's out here like oh, yes Uh, let's let's do player ratings on the field you get plus five zone for being able to react to that ball Throwing at the linebacker better, right?  So we need more nerd Yeah, can you be a nerd in the nfl?  Who knows maybe old lineman are kind of smart nerds But uh, I don't think you know, I don't know Who knows? I mean for me, it's just I don't know I feel like they're playing with the same dozen and I yell at my players too on the field I yell at the individual players sometimes.  I mean, I my first thought isn't it's clen's fault all the time Sometimes for sure and then another thing about when you get cheated, right?   Oh, yeah, I get bullied all the time That's pretty much, you know, that's pretty much what this is about. In fact The more I went on the stream the more dead and boring it is on my on my part for the most part The more that's why people like no money spent because sometimes I get my ship pushed in and probably it's probably about You know, 30% of the time I get my ship pushed in so, you know, what Do you think stream is more popping when you lose it? I'm just in such a foul mood I feel I feel like the stream's in an awful spot. I don't know. I I don't really necessarily look at the chat so much It's how much like I put out there. I don't it feels it's strange that you see the other way Um, I don't know. I feel like Yeah, I definitely feel like they love trolling.  He ran commit and I do interception. Yeah, it happened and you know They killed me instantly. I'm not taught. It wasn't a week in the game This was like I was like two games away from making the lcq finals or anything like that It was it was actually brutal.  I cut the stream off instantly and I sat there And then I realized like 10 15 minutes of my sorrow.  Uh, you got to feel both sides of the loss and the win, you know, so that that was definitely um Definitely a rough time, but I I do feel like losing is You have to lose to be a successful stream. I think at some point I think 10 5 to 10 losing is like ideal Yeah, about 10 losing and you're still one of the best in the world even at that rate You look at just like leaderboards, but how do you not get like I when I start losing?   I don't know what else to talk about um I don't I don't know. I don't really complain about I more I mean, I don't mean to like Blow my own horn, but at first I don't really lose that often on stream that often I mean no money spent I do but It's not like I have I have kind of a built-in excuse why I'm getting drilled and I still get pissed off But my biggest thing with madden has always been dude. I can lose and just search for the next game You know, I've always felt that way. I've always even when I was playing without streaming even when I was playing, uh You know when I'm streaming I can always just get back on the next game Now I played fancy last night.  That's kind of how I kind of how I work Kind of how I'm wired for the most part, but I I don't I don't know.  I'm like just forget about it.  Let's get here what we got. I got I got you know Promise foxy about an hour here. So let's let's get to it Count madden. Yeah, you're the host. Why am I sorry? Yeah, well you go do your thing It's it's easier to do this with somebody that knows how to talk, you know, that's a lot easier You know, sometimes you have people I've had every belt winner on the show and sometimes it's a little difficult, you know But uh, yeah, I mean like I said, you made the comment that Competitive or madden or I guess and you clear up is just the tournaments being here Was uh, one of the worst uh things for mutt in general and I I won a broader You know explanation of that for the most part, you know Like all right Not mad. Why did comp madden die in the mid 2010s? Uh, I think first of all, I'll be honest I was I played mad in 08 and mad on 9 pretty comp, you know Going all the tournaments and everything between that I definitely had like I was like I don't know how these kids do it when they're like 21 to 26 playing madden like that's all they do I really was kind of playing but I wasn't like locked in like I was, you know now that I'm older guys, so Uh, I I want to say virgin gaming was really popping Then they had a big A big like fight kind of in one of the events and stuff and it kind of died down in virgin And and honestly, I don't know what happened to the madden challenge. I don't I honestly don't have answers What happened to it for the most part, uh, I don't know I I I think it was low viewership, right when they're back on on regs and stuff and Here's the thing. It's like if comp madden stayed in regs. I've I got no problem at all I it's perfectly fine. Like comp mad the best thing about comp madden and why I think it's it's great Is the fact that it's given you and so many other people that just play madden Money to pursue that passion. All right. That's that's great. And I think that's awesome that ea What's that money out there that people can live off it, right?  There was a lot of negative talk. They hate him I didn't want to come into mutt. They liked regs. They want to stay in regs I was like, please stay in regs. Like we're the mutt. We're doing okay here, right? We're just living our own world. It was such an underground like it wasn't like the biggest part of mad at the time But now it easily has become Um, so like then it came into mutt and we see so many changes Too mutt over the years due to it right due to competitive tournaments and And the thing is like would competitive madden have the viewership it would have right now if it weren't for ultimate to Now probably not I think it helps You know, I think so but at the same time, you know, I think and that most of the man players Still to play regs, you know, or at least there's a huge chunk of people that play mad and that watch football That just play regs and don't really get into mutt, you know, so Uh, I think I think mutt helps it because it gets the same viewership that youtube and everything else gets obviously But I do think there's a huge crowd of people that just still play regs For the most part and I think I think it's it's mutt is also a plus I honestly think there should be I think this going all to mutt was a little wild I did think there was always a place for that regs tournament. No matter where it is No matter what part of the year it is I always think there's a place for that at least one of them So the going all the mutt was it's kind of wild this year But I definitely think it it helps and in the grand scheme I think mutt helps giving away the mutt cards people being able to watch the mutt cards and talk about them I think helps in the grand scheme of things Oh outside of you know giving money to community members, what has competitive benefited ultimate to you How has it benefited and you know this these are the questions and These are the questions that ea's budget asks the competitive team, right? What have you done for us? You know is viewership good enough to keep putting out millions of dollars for this competitive thing I don't know What what has it done? It's brought. I don't know if it's brought more players I mean, that's honestly a great question. What has competitive done for the mutt community? You know how many uh, how many players like I didn't I don't look at those leaderboards or whatever How many players actually played in this like these these? Qualifying for this Thanksgiving tournament. How many people have I would probably tell you Guess guess how many people played No more than a thousand I don't think you know, how do we think I don't know like how many you guys do you think? 2300 5k people played Damn, and I made top 20 in the first in one day. I might be go to Yeah, a thousand people played Um a competitive game, right like at least one. Okay. I don't know how many how many played multiple games Whatever you guys whatever doesn't matter That's out of like the millions and millions and millions of of cops.  They got that studio They got all that stuff. They got all this focused around comp and like in organizing big events You know this with your tournament. It's not easy, right? Like with your you know bot wars that you do. Yeah Yeah, so like that is a ton of organizational effort and in uh money That is going into comp madden and into mud that that maybe maybe and i'm not saying it would go all back into gameplay It would all go back into you know franchise ultimate team other portions of the game, but it does feel like the organizational uh Focus of of madden is kind of slanted a little bit and it doesn't help the overall product that there is so much Try effort there and and as a comparison look at what rockets has done with mud that gg this year, right? Last year he's been running mud head forever and then like I think even said himself I mean there was just so much effort around the competitive tournaments that he put on the weekly basis on those fridays Like he wasn't really able to update the site as much now that he's kind of off of mud head and he's doing that gg full time Do do I mean you probably know that site is significantly better than mud head? Absolutely I mean, I was using the other day. It's just to make a video about I didn't know you could even compare people's abilities And what do they get and what do they don't get? I mean definitely has been been a lot better for sure You know, I mean that's yeah, I just feel like the resource thing is like I mean, that's that's an ea problem. You know, I think I mean Essentially you could talk about anything that's anything else other than mutt is taking resources away from mutt You know, I could come out here and say, you know franchise is taking resources away from competitive You know what I'm saying?  That's the first thing that needs to be cut Right, but a competitive man in tournaments like probably On the things that need to go like like third or fourth that that needs to be scaled back like and so In the ea is like they got other problems So like when I say competitive and the issues that it brought and the game balance issues like You know how draft champions used to be fun and then they introduced the pay to win that they became like It became the competitive madden. They brought an elo and so like these things have warped around competitive madden But like again ea is like, you know, no money spent hate and some and they're the absolute Just hatred of their player base is the number one thing that's a problem but competitive itself has drawn a lot of effort and Like how what what's the last time? Muts has got any sort of like innovative thing, right? We got stats on cards this year, right? Half-time adjustments. Where the hell are those they didn't work I was excited about stats super pumped about stats from playing so much MLB I was I can't wait to see how many touchdowns I throw and then they don't work at all You're right Like we remember we talked about this. I had a conversation with somebody This week about what was the promotion of madden this year? What was their new feature? What was it? Half-time adjustments Madden the whole the whole game.  Yeah, I mean listen, I still have squealy lines. I hope this patch Uh got our squealy lines out of here, but you know, I still had them as of three days ago. So we'll see Yeah But like, you know my point was what's that?  I really don't uh You know, I mean Okay, so the the downside of competitive and mutt is some of the changes that made to the game mode, right Don't complain a few years ago when comp was in Madden ultimate team and salary cap or whatever it was He complained on twitter about the you know people blocking him So they don't have to match up like back then do you know how many like you you you understand how many like, you know Field goal block glitches disconnect glitches desync glitches that were in the game So like if you got hit with somebody you blocked them you didn't have to match up with him again Joke went on this like rampage of adding mark hop adding everybody about this that he's getting blocked He can't go up in the leaderboards because of it and they end up taking that feature out So and then I asked mark how on twitter. I'm like, okay, because he's put out something saying all right We're monitoring the online Ladders for this for people doing this field goal block glitch and then I tweeted I'm like, well, what about the rest of us?  You shouldn't be able to just block people and not play them But at the same time, I mean you're right too. I think it's just a bad bad situation I've always felt I don't know.  I remember you talked about the effects on the actual gameplay Yeah, and so so W. I was I was in your stream.   It is a battlefield in gaming Let me tell you something. There's a battlefield Gears of war are you sometimes when you're getting pops you got to start crab walking in Gears of War That's how it works.  I'm just being honest. I'm just being honest.  You know what I'm saying? Sometimes the guy get him out of there So I'm necessarily like, uh, uh, I don't love your your opinion on the on the whole Whether it's it's cool or not to block people for desinking but Get what you're you're saying when you go down get them out of there so you can get the w's All right, so What about like all right cop in general? Let's let's flash back to madden 20 and the over balance like the overpowered run game and stuff Adam 20 was like the essential Uh, like I heard this from from ea People at ea He said because of the amount of of comp players and players themselves complaining about patches in the game and And changing people's offenses so they have to adapt which in my mind blows my my mind right like that that that's It sends blows my mind because comp players should be the best at adapting in the game to any changes, right? You guys like you're you're that's what you do.  Who's going to be best? Quickest it's the comp players over the the rest of the shitters and weak and lego or whoever whoever can adjust the best the best comp player Yeah, so Anyways and madden 20 they had heard the the the feedback and they said and the feedback said don't patch your game Don't change your game. Just leave it as it is. Let us adjust to it Let it and so madden 20 with this overpowered run game we saw from day one They adjusted obviously, you know, that was the first year of a lot of abilities. They adjusted tilman They adjusted the arm bar early on they didn't make some changes to abilities and whatnot that we saw through the year But overall they left stretch as it is they left dive as it is They left our our dumbasses on the pursuit angles as they were because they didn't want to quote unquote Overtune their game so madden 20 just bet was just a shitfest all year long And it stayed that way because they listened to the comp saying don't adjust your game. Oh, so I what how do you know they listen to the comp for you just that's just an assumption That's that's that's not an assumption. That's from internal ea I don't I don't know. I don't think anybody was cool with I don't think anybody was cool with the way man 20 I don't know if we're gonna agree that man 20 was the worst man European in your opinion nobody liked it But the next year joke came out firing about gunslinger and how passing is too powerful First of all, I feel like I feel like you're equating the competitive scene the joke I feel like joke is like when you think about when you when you have a bad dream voice and problem No, I feel like I feel like when you have a bad dream about competitive people is jokes face in the dream like that He represents competitive men to you as joke now joke is an extremist I mean and and I mean we all know that it's like most of stuff He's extreme to the point where it's like everything he says you got to take with a grain of salt Like it's he's the boy that cried wolf at this point. The promise ea doesn't take him like that Not because I don't know. I don't know how they take him. I don't control how they take it You understand, but he really is the boy that cries wolf. I'll be honest. He's got a new girlfriend and he's got a dog Right. So this year.  I'll be honest. You could tell a man that's getting laid consistently He has I'm telling you and I when we talk about this. I'm like joke bro. You didn't change this year, bro And he about to turn 32. I'm telling you he has changed so much for real. He has not been the one bitchin He played madder and is what do you say 20 to 26?  That's when you got to do the majority of your gaming Be honest, you know, so but now for real. I mean, but yeah He has definitely been the boy that cries wolf for the competitive scene for the entire mcs Circuit for the most part.   I don't I don't care about ap changes.  I don't know how Listen, I don't know how it really affects anything like it makes you change your team a little bit But it really doesn't like how can it make that big an effect? You know, I just don't understand. What's the Like like like bench press in one step like bench press going from one to three changed a lot of how we played the game Yeah, because you couldn't do that anymore. But like you said, how do you not see how that changed the game? Like I'm just saying like what's the What's the downside? I don't know like It obviously changes the game They can completely take something out of the you know out of the realm of usable if that makes sense Like you can't use that anymore because it's too much ap now. You can't use it.  I was a bench press one step. I'm putting you in the ground I thought people sucked against it.  I got to switch it up, right?  Yeah, I mean do that no more. I don't know I feel like I always feel like patches are terribly time for everybody if that makes sense I really do like there's no good way to time a patch really And at the same time at the same time just like you said the competitive guys are supposed to be my I don't care if it's a day before the tournament a week before the tournament As long as everybody has the same time to play on it I that's really all that is fair to me, you know as far as the competitive side, you know You're you're built different not a lot of people like you do Man, I don't know. I just I feel like that's how most comp guys are You know, and that's I don't know that's the point There is no good time for a patch with comp tournaments and and so like why hold the comp tournaments Pull the rest of us back I mean I For the most part agree outside of maybe if it's like a week before the tournament, you know You can put it out any other time, but if it's something emergency, let's go ahead Let's get it done, you know for the most part. I don't think anybody would would disagree with that It was actually I'll tell you this we were madden 18. We're ultimate league This is no lie. We ultimate league madden 18. I don't know if you guys remember there was a Trucking the hell out of air trucking was OP Madden 18 you would do madden 18 It was like stretch dive and we were at the ultimate league before we were in minnesota at the super bowl Then, you know, this is all the money.  We were in minnesota. It was awesome. You know for us 8 16 people was great for the rest of y'all deal with the game but Uh, we had a meeting before the game. It's us 16 people in ultimate league We can put a patch out right now. I don't even think it was put the patch out Do you want to play on the patch? That will uh help get rid of air truck and you can't air truck anymore And we had a vote they said do you want to play on it or no? And the vote came back that we didn't want to play on the patch because we were afraid that we didn't know what the Hell else was going to what the hell else was going to happen on the patch So I don't know if that that might have affected when it came out or maybe just when we played on it I don't remember for sure. I want to say it's what we played on I don't remember but they definitely asked the group of people that were there Do you want to play on the current patch or the or what's my call it or the the patch or the current game? They definitely asked us so We'll see so so I guess mad in 18 was when they had us playing on old patches Even though a new patch was out like you had just said Yeah, so I got uh, I guess the final things I gotta go. Um, I got a couple more minutes, but Uh Fortnite you ever play fortnight?  Yeah See what do you see what I'm talking about now? Yeah, but at the same time I'm like a professional man player So I have to like put most of my time into madden if I was a kid playing games and I could choose It might be different You know what I'm saying? Okay Do you do you understand the point of like There's that got into ultimate team A builder ultimate team to collect cards to play online Fine solos that kind of stuff had to have Then it's all all now super sweat. Okay, so and and you're my comparison to that is I'm a guy that played fortnight I wanted to buy the cool skins.  I still collected my skins.  That's not their goal with the game, right? Is their goal with the game?  Okay?  I got my I got my team team I'm happy. I'm playing solos. That's my point.   Why did you leave fortnight because I'm competitive That's my you understand.  I'm not there to collect cards No, they don't you do you just said they cared about card collecting cards and playing solos What do you not care about winning? Listen? Yeah, of course I care about winning.  No, no, but it's my point I don't care about winning But no, that's my point.  Well, that's my point. They want to win Of course they want to win.   This is your job.    Yeah I mean that's the world, right?  That's about it, right? But I'm good at that.  That's how the world works and close to him too though Here's the thing.    You're a guy that wants to win in madden Okay, so get better or or what the fuck? What are your options?  Just like fortnight.    I'm good at because you know what?  Why if you're casual quote unquote, right? But what i'm trying to say is look at this from ea's point of view All right, they're going heavy into competitive and and like you said you literally don't play fortnight anymore So these people that are casual aren't playing madden anymore because of that kind of uh, uh, Basically effort around it Hey, you get in lot you get online you play against whatever the meta is that time on offense on defense It's the same thing game after game a lot of times during the end of the year right now Actually, I think the offensive meta is pretty nice right now, but that's off topic But what that's that's the point is like yes You're going to kick the shit out of them because you're really good at dubby and like I said you're built different You're different because you're doing this because you're kicking the shit out of madden But like I'm a wider perspective us as content creators and really you're one of the top content creators on twitch Uh top youtube that kind of stuff and and with that like don't you fear a little bit of the amount of people? Leaving the game because ea keeps pushing comp when so few people are into it right? You said 5,000 people tried for that tournament 5,000 out of the millions that buy this game 5,000 what does comp bring to madden?  You said, I don't know like I The best thing comps done is give you money give people that are competitive at the game that play the game money I I agree and at the same time what you said it takes away is your ability to block people to block your Fillables or glitch your glitch you right?  Yeah, and this one like The to me two shoes that's a casual player that's gonna go go 500. This motherfucker was going 500 in madden 16 too All right, it wasn't there's not some great player out there that was beating everybody and since comp showed up All of a sudden he don't want to play no more. You know, I don't I don't know if that's if that's that type of person honestly but you know So basically your biggest argument to comp is that like Don't think it harmed anything I honestly don't I don't think so at all and I think one it's got madden on the espn It's got madden all is I think it's it's got it's definitely put a spotlight on madden It has more so than there was before You know on you know, so I don't think a spotlight on madden at all is is a big deal I don't think there's nothing wrong with it. You know with all that publicity on espn I don't know how much they had to pay for it or whatever. It's not nearly the cultural impact that 0405 was It's not near to what it was. Oh, well, I think it's just a different time that you know People can watch madden 247 now. So I think it's definitely a different time The madden challenge was definitely You know before its time, you know, that was a big deal or for sure But uh, I I do think I do think spotlight any spotlight on the video game is a positive for all of us really You know for the most part, you know And and and for me, I feel like and I don't know if you ever I don't know if this has ever crossed your mind But for me, I I've never given a shit about You know programs or new content. I've never cared about it and I think to myself, man I'm really getting into this content. So maybe I should like start caring about that, you know Play with the new cards. Uh do videos on the new cards, you know boot up when the new cards are available I've never cared about that and I feel like I do myself a disservice By not getting into that more now I don't know if if you would get like care about the competitive stuff more because it is more content for you Or and just like, you know, the new cards are more content for me I think any type of light on the game is an opportunity for for us to get, you know, obviously get more eyes But on top of that, it's just it's good for the game overall. So I honestly don't think The competitive thing is bad and and like I said the spotlight alone I think is a positive and as far as people leave and I think it's more about them not having fun on the game And and you know that that's more about the gameplay than it is about, you know, the players they're playing I think Yeah, and I do agree spotlights on the game are good But there are many ways to get spotlights, right? The best spotlight on the game is to get a high review score, right? It's it was my points I was trying to make is that, you know earlier on I said how much effort they have to put into these tournaments It takes a ton of effort and organizational time To basically put on these things and basically broadcast the ESPN work the deals Work the contracts with them like there's so much that goes into event planning, especially at that level Which are the people that work at the announcers Locate, I know it's it's online now, but back they used to fly people in that kind of stuff That takes a ton of money and organizational like time.    They can hire some more people, right? I mean, I I feel like we have this image that there's 40 people and now they had 30 people Waking up working on the gameplay, but they just put eight people eight of those 30 into competitive You know, I essentially that's your argument in a in a nutshell, right? Like they put too many of their resources into these tournaments And it's only so much budget that madden gets they bring in Half a billion dollars a year and madden will say A lot of that goes into they buy back stocks two billion dollars Every every other year right two billion dollars of our cash Just goes into ea buying ea stock because they like to manipulate the stock price because andrew wilson needs a new g5 jet every year Okay, oh with that said like so there's only so much budget to have right There's only so much of the pie to go around That's what i'm talking about Yeah, I mean listen, all right You for me it would be a stronger argument if there weren't shittier aspects of the game That that could be taken out before the tournaments and and You gotta realize you're talking to somebody that really That the tournaments changed my life 100 and my family's life and everything so for for me This i'm gonna die on this hill, you know because it changed my life and it propelled me to where I am now So for me, it's tough to say get rid of it. It's not good for the game You know because it has brought me pretty much my life now Uh, so it's definitely tough to see that But but honestly until they get rid of the the 15 other modes and whatever that are a waste of time and stuff like that Including you know other games that they put out but you know Whatever they did have been doing with mba live for the last six years You know, I felt like could have all went to madden But for me, uh, I definitely think the yard and you know superstar the franchises and and the face of the franchise Like you mentioned all that stuff definitely comes before tournaments and and for me I am in that niche of Uh, the competitive scene even if it's only 3000 people at most, you know, there wasn't 3000 people playing Uh, so for me, it's tough to to see an angle where it's bad You know for the most part. Yeah, I get you Yeah, good talk and I I do agree like I like I said, there are way bigger problems and competitive, but that's why Said what I said to mills about not spending organizational effort in MLB and that is the strength of it That but not spreading the south's tooth thin because that is that is game bloat face the franchise is game bloat And it's it's it's worthless and and seeing that interview with with uh shone grady today that the executive producer of madden saying Hey, that's that's people's intro.    Yeah mmg is a great one brock mmg gets half a million to a million views And he's doing like vlog stuff now amazing creator and I isn't twitch there I is youtube And some of it may has to do with youtube came up when like madden was coming up and was like twitch Maybe kind of got you know when more newer games Fortnite came out and twitch is kind of big and that's we're kind of I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. What do you think? I Listen, I look at it all the day and it's like damn is this really the height, you know, that's kind of how I feel um I feel like I just I'm putting so much more attention on you know, obviously the youtube and other other I try to post clips on twitter and videos on twitter and tiktoks and everything I try to go to every other platform to try to direct people to To twitch, but uh, I you know I see I I saw the you know the revenue leak and i'm like damn How can we get madden up there? You know because that's you know I feel like this is a field where you always look up no matter where you are You know if you're at the top of you know, we're at the top of the directory madden But I I don't look at just madden people if I just look at madden people i'll be satisfied You know, I look I watch apex streamers all the time.  Yeah, I I agree. It's tough. Like what were you on that list? 800 something that was kind of it kind of got me happy.   I'm doing shitty. I feel like that's how I always feel like I just need to do better And to sit there and say I'm one of the top thousand streamers in the universe.  So that's definitely built top 1000 the last seven days 4 million people booted up 4 million people 4 million people and I'm top thousand 4 million stream. I mean, hey, it's pretty dope for sure Definitely I used to be more like At where I was constantly pissed a couple years ago Man after seeing like this shit, I've kind of called it.  I don't know what the hell to do But yeah, I constantly record me and how to get bigger too, but I I no longer really feel the the hate and the need to The claw my way up like I used to no, but I do think I mean Like I said, like we are the top of the man director You know more stuff we do together to only help honestly for real and that's why I wanted to talk to you I didn't want to go back and forth on twitter because that's just terrible for real Yeah, this is way better than twitter. Twitter's not a real place.  It's actually a jungle It's a jungle with it's a jungle with like too many police now. That's what it is It's a jungle with like all police half the people in the jungle and another half I'm gonna get into that. No, not for me, but uh, that maybe maybe next time But I gotta go though. Hey, I appreciate dubby for having me on. Absolutely. I appreciate you come and keep grinding, buddy Everybody's subbed the chat now to dubby. All right. Take it easy dude. All right, buddy There it is the fox man the legend All right, listen I will die on the hill that timmy two shoes can collect cards and be okay with going 500, right? You


All right, I wanted to try to film and show you the colors of pastels I have chosen, the colors and values. Again, I started with a pink sky that set the mood for my underpainting and I kind of went with a feel of values and colors in that kind of family, the pinks and the the browns and the purples that I used. But now what I'm doing, I have the underpainting done, I'm looking at the colors that I really want to pop in this and I see when I see there's going to be these gorgeous primrose blue almost purplish colors on this side of the hill and a lot of times sand in the shadow will be blue, will be a real pretty blue. And so I see some of that in there and I really like that some of it's over in here, it's going to get lighter in value as you go around here. So that's why I picked some of these, I don't know if I can turn this up without falling over, some of these more bluish and even into some of the purplish in here. Okay, it's for some of those shadows in the sand. Now I love that teal, again I have the pink sky but I love that water being a little bit of a teal, but typically when you lay something down, I don't have a lot of that color in my underpainting already. You lay down, you want interest in your colors, so I could just do a light teal, like a light teal back there, but I want to put down a darker first, I may even go a little darker than this, and then to put the teal on top of it, it creates some depth to it and some interest to that. There's even a darker richer color there too. So I'm leaning still into the peachy tones and the teal and purple tones in this. Now because I was going with the peachy, I'm gonna, this is kind of be more like the sky, it's that peachy pink, and then I've got some more values of that in here, you want your painting to be consistent and have some of the same colors, like I said especially with the sky is gonna be reflecting those colors, so my sand is going to have, you know, kind of typical sand colors, but it's also gonna have some of these colors from the sky, a little darker reflected down into the sand. So, and then my greens, I didn't want to keep them too warm, they're very warm greens in here, because I'm going for that little bit of a cooler palette, and I wanted a little bit of a cooler greens in this. So I, you always want some dark dark, some dark values, even though I have my underpainting with dark values, but I want to have some darker darks to lay down with the pastels, and I'm gonna play around with this. This is kind of a small palette, which I like. I keep a small little thing to hold my pastels in, so I don't overdo it. I know when I'm adding too many more. I'll add more, most likely, but I'd like to stick with these for a while and see what we get.


verses 17 through 20 and we're looking today at Jesus who is the fulfillment of the law we're continuing our series in the Gospel of Matthew we've arrived at chapter 5 we've been looking at first portion of it would be the introduction to the sermon called the Beatitudes we looked at last time we together it would have been referred to as the similitudes and now we're moving into Jesus and his purpose the purpose of Jesus which is the fulfillment of the law and so beginning at verse 17 reading to verse 20 Jesus said do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets I did not come to destroy but to fulfill for surely I say to you till heaven and earth pass away one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven but whoever does and teaches them he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven for I say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven and so as we've been looking at this portion of Scripture when last together the Lord was giving to his followers he was giving to us as believers he was giving to us our purpose he had said that we are salt and he said that we are light so assault the church is at work almost invisibly in a sense but as the salt is at work it is being evidenced by a variety of things and we looked at this together we looked at our purity we looked at our flavoring of this world as well as our our call by God to preserve the world from corruption when he speaks of us as being light the church is to minister visibly so we illuminate spiritual darkness of this world and we do so by our lives and so as he's been speaking about that he's also made mention and we saw this last time together in verse 16 that we are to let our lights so shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify our father who is in heaven now he is not saying that we are saved by works that's an unfortunate belief amongst many who believe in a works oriented salvation they call that a works righteousness you work and you become righteous well that isn't what the Lord Jesus Christ was teaching what Jesus was teaching is that if indeed we are salt if indeed we are light then that's going to be demonstrated by a life that is dedicated to to good works or works that are done from a pure heart and so we're not saved by good works because we're saved by the grace of God in Ephesians 2 8 9 it says for by grace you've been saved through faith and that out of yourselves it's a gift of God not of works less anyone should boast you see if I could work my way into a righteousness I could boast about how righteous I am but I'm saved by the grace of God through faith but after I am saved good works is what is referred to as the the fruit that reveals that I've been saved as well as demonstrating my purpose my purpose is for good works Titus chapter 2 verse 14 says that Jesus gave himself for us that he might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for himself his own special people zealous he says for good works Ephesians 2 10 Paul said it like this he said we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them and so he has spoken to us concerning our purpose but after proclaiming the purpose of the church he now discloses a portion of his own purpose and he makes it clear in this passage he didn't come to destroy their faith but he came to complete it he's going to make it clear that the law and the prophets actually are pointing to him and so as the Lord speaks concerning this he says something in verse 18 when he says I I say unto you till heaven and earth pass away one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled so what he's saying here at least a portion of what he is saying is that the Bible is God's word and he is saying that it can be trusted completely the Bible is God's word and it can be trusted why do we as Christians and why do I as a pastor why do I emphasize the word of God Jesus said it is God's word and can be completely trusted now there is an individual some of us have heard his name mentioned before his name is Richard Dawkins Richard Dawkins is a well-known atheist he's almost what you would call a Billy Graham of atheism if you will he wrote a book called the God delusion Richard Dawkins and this is an excerpt from it Richard Dawkins said to be fair much of the Bible is not systematically evil but just plain weird as you would expect of a chaotically cobbled together anthology of disjointed documents composed revised translated distorted and improved by hundreds of anonymous authors editors and copyists unknown to us and mostly unknown to each other spanning nine centuries now that's Richard Dawkins take on the word of God it's chaotic it's a cobbled together anthology of disjointed documents it has hundreds of anonymous authors and editors and copyists etc and so he's basically simply saying what do you expect from a book that you can't trust the question is is that accurate you know there are those who would say that Jesus Christ because Jesus quoted scripture and Jesus Christ believed in its inerrancy and infallibility that it's simply because Jesus was just not as as intelligent as they are there are those I've read their quotes where they have stated well Jesus Christ had the information that they have now he wouldn't believe what he says he believed as he was proclaiming the things that he spoke during his day is that true is the Bible just a chaotically put together composed by men confusing disjointed account of somebody's mythological belief of creation and redemption and things of that nature let me give you a few Bible facts that might help you when I would I would begin by quoting DL Moody DL Moody said the Bible was not given for information but for our transformation and so he gives to us the purpose of scripture some basic Bible facts the what contains 66 books divided among the Old and New Testaments 39 books in the old 27 in the new the Bible is looked at and understood as one book Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible the Apostle Paul wrote 14 books over half of the New Testament it was written over a period of 1500 years from around 1450 BC to about 100 AD the Bible was written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit by over 40 different authors from all walks of life shepherds farmers tent makers physicians fishermen priests philosophers and kings despite these differences in occupation in the span of years it took to write it the Bible is extremely cohesive and unified the Bible was written in three languages Hebrew Aramaic and Greek there are 23,145 verses in the Old Testament 7,957 verses in the New Testament giving us a total of 31,102 verses the perfect agreement of these writers is one proof that a single author guided them all the author was God even though many writers wrote the Bible over many years there are no contradictions one author does not contradict any of the others the Bible has been translated into 2018 languages with countless more partial translations and audio translations for unwritten languages in comparison Shakespeare considered by many to be the master writer of the English language has only been translated into 50 languages the Bible reveals the mystery of God's plan which is the unifying theme of the Bible it is the revelation of Jesus Christ as a savior of sinful mankind Jesus explained how the Old Testament centered on him and Jesus makes it clear that all is fulfilled in him and that's what we're looking at here in this passage when the Lord Jesus Christ says do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets I did not come to destroy but to fulfill for assuredly I say to you till heaven and earth pass away one jot or one title will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled as we begin the the Jews are being told the Jewish nation are being told that they will not become righteous on their own by following the law of Moses the answer is because the reason they cannot become righteous that way is because the law pointed to and is fulfilled in the Lord Jesus Christ when Paul was writing to the Roman church in Romans 10 verse 4 he said Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes when he said Christ is the end the word and there is the Greek word tell us the word and means termination the limit at which a thing ceases to be or its clothes it speaks that the law was pointing to Jesus and found its completion in him you see the Pharisees accused Jesus of ignoring and breaking Moses's law they thought that because he he dishonored because he healed on the Sabbath he was dishonoring it and they also believed that he was guilty of blasphemy because he declared himself to be the son of God now Jesus certainly appeared by their standard of interpretation to devalue the law of Moses and you can see that as we studied through Matthew in at least three ways one is and this is why they would think that about him he did not observe and agree with their oral traditions that they had you see according to rabbinic Judaism the oral law represents the laws statutes and legal interpretations that were not recorded in the first five books of Moses which is the written law but were regarded as equally binding according to Jewish tradition the oral law was passed on early in an unbroken chain from generation to generation until its contents were fully committed to writing following the destruction of the second temple and so they had laws that are called traditions that they held fast to that they consider to be equal to the written law of Moses you're going to see here in Matthew chapter five how many times the Lord Jesus Christ will actually correct that you'll see it for example in verse 21 when it says Jesus says you have heard that it was said but then notice verse 22 now he goes on to say but I say you'll see it in verse 27 where he says you have heard that it was said and then verse 28 but I say verse 31 it has been said verse 32 but I say and so Jesus does that throughout chapter five and as he does that he's saying you're in error and your oral traditions are not correct and he was establishing himself as being the authority so they did not appreciate that at all second he interpreted the law according to the spirit of the law and not the letter in Matthew 15 verse 6 Jesus said that they had made the commandment of God of no effect by their traditions so Jesus would speak concerning the spirit of the law and then third he ignored their traditional way of teaching because he taught with heaven's authority you're going to see that in Matthew chapter 7 verses 28 and 29 where it says there so it was when Jesus had ended these sayings that the people were astonished at his teaching for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes you see when Jesus would teach he did not quote some other rabbi he didn't say well rabbi Hillel says this or rabbi Shamai says that rabbi Gamalial says this he didn't say things like that what he said is you have heard it said but I say it to you and that was such an amazing way of teaching that they saw that Jesus was establishing himself as the authority and because of these breaks with the religious tradition he was open to the accusation that he did not honor the law of Moses that's why he begins by saying do not think in other words do not think that I'm subverting the law of God or ignoring the prophets he says I came he says and I have come in other words don't think this because I have been sent on a divine mission by my father like he says in John 6 38 it came down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me he's saying as Messiah I have not come to destroy but to fulfill the word fulfill means to establish I've come to establish the law and the prophets now when he speaks concerning the law and the prophets do not think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets the law and prophets represent the entire Old Testament because those who wrote scripture were regarded as prophets so Jesus is revealed in the law and prophets so he didn't come to destroy he came to fulfill so there is a definite link between the past and the present the law of God is necessary because the people needed to appreciate the gospel that was coming see when you read your Bible and you begin to look at what was called the law and its purpose there are a variety of things that the law was intended to do for the people of Israel for example when you read the law you were actually having the will of God revealed to you by God's word like what Paul says in Romans 2 18 know his and know his will approve the things that are more excellent being instructed out of the law so the law revealed the will of God but the law also required total obedience Paul again in Romans 2 verse 13 said for not the heroes of the law are just before God but the doers of the law shall be justified there's something about the law that it does it also condemns in Romans 3 19 we know that what things the law says it says to those who are under the law that every mouth may be stopped and the world may become guilty before God so the law actually condemns the law defined sin Romans 7 verse 7 what shall we say then is the law sin God forbid no I had not known sin but by the law for I had not known lust except the law had said you shall not covet the law had a fruit it produced death Romans 7 9 says I felt fine when I did not understand what the law demanded but when I learned the truth I realized I had broken the law and was a sinner doomed to die but the law also was intended to lead people to faith in Jesus Christ Galatians 3 24 the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ that we might be justified by faith so there was a purpose in the law you see when the law was given there are many commands in it and people thought that those commands were odious they thought that those commands were harsh and or difficult and and they didn't like it you know because it tells us what not to do so much you know but God's law was intended to keep us safe there are a lot of things that when you're first told not to do a certain thing that you think whoever it is that's telling you not to do that is raining on your parade your joy parade you wanted to do these things how come you're saying I can't do that how come you're saying I can't do these things you know children are that way of the father or the mother says no you can't do a certain thing very often the the kid thinks the mom and dad are raining on their parade that that mom and dad don't understand them you know man what's wrong with you you don't understand how much fun I'd have by doing these things how come you're telling me to come home at a certain time or how come you're telling me I shouldn't hang around with certain people you don't know their heart you don't know the way that they are and we've all been guilty of doing that one way or another and our children are equally guilty because they receive a sin nature and the sin nature usually comes from their mom but we'll talk about this actually comes from the father my mom used to tell me not to do things all the time I've told you guys this some of you haven't heard this before but it comes to mind mama used to say stay away from fire but I liked fire I thought fire was cool and so I would you know I just liked it and my mama used to smoke my mom smoked until she got saved I used to go in and buy her cigarettes they she used to write me a little note please give my son one package of her favorite cigarette she used to be a quarter you who are laughing her smokers on it used to be a quarter you can tell by your cough and and I would go down the street and I would buy these her cigarettes and I bring them back to her so mama mama smoked since she was in her early teens so I was raising a home with a smoking mom and she was smoking and I used to really appreciate how cool my mom looked oh my mom looks so cool when she smoked she really she was so cool she would she would put the cigarette in her mouth and she'd go to the stove and turn the burner on and then she'd lean over and she'd just take it and then she'd pull her head back and she'd take a hit off her cigarette and then she'd let the smoke just kind of gently fall out of her mouth till it went to her eyes and she had this real smoky kind of cool look you know and I thought man you know my mama is so cool and and especially the way she just lights that cigarette and she just kicks back and so when I got older I started smoking when I was about I don't know 12 13 and I I would actually take her cigarettes but I can remember I was about 15 at the time I used to have a pompadour you know where you kind of like smooth it out like and it's kind of cool you know like that and a duck tail and the whole nine yards and and I just wanted to be so cool and so I got my cigarette and I went to the burner and I turned it on and I and my hair caught on fire because it had it all this hairspray you know and it just blew up you know I look like Wiley Coyote my hair was smoking and I had it all frizzed up it just frizzed you know how it is when when the fire hits its hair it just kind of frizzes so I had a nafro I had the first afro in Norwalk back in 65 but my mom used to say stay away from the fire and I used to think that my mom was just just you know not cool I mean come on now you know fire is cool and then I discovered that no there's a reason for that law there was a reason for that command because fire burns and there are so many things that my parents I really thought that they were just just not really in you know aware of what what life was all about when I was a kid stay away from drinking David don't be smoking my mom gave up smoking when she got saved you know and didn't smoke again for over 40 years you know stay away from these things you know it wasn't to destroy it was to build up the law awakens you to what is right and wrong and then also awakens you Moses's law to your own sinfulness then causes you to say oh what a wretched person I am who can deliver me from this body of death when you finally get to that point where you you the will is with you the ability to perform that what you desire is not when you are awakened to the reality that you're not able to do that what you say you want to do so much the laws performing its purpose because you're able to name the thing that is the hidden thing in your life that you're so miserable about so this is called adultery so this is called coveting so this is called alcoholism so this that's what it and that's what the law does and then as it awakens you to your inability to perform that which God has commanded you to do because it expects your obedience not the one who knows it but the one who does it is justified that's when you find yourself to be totally sold to sin and helpless and that's when it becomes the tutor who takes you to the savior Jesus Christ so Jesus didn't come to destroy the law he came to fulfill it so that we might have a relationship with him now the prophets wrote concerning the coming Messiah and they wrote in their writings that Messiah would come Luke 1831 gives us an incident where he took the 12 aside said to them behold we are going up to Jerusalem and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be accomplished after his resurrection he was speaking to two disciples he was on the road to Emmaus it's recorded in Luke 24 25 he said to them oh foolish one slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken Luke 24 27 beginning at Moses and all the prophets expounded to them in all the scriptures of things concerning himself see we Christians have prophecy that's fulfilled in Jesus Christ we can trust the Word of God because it's accurate so he's saying I've come to complete these writings because they're written concerning me notice in verse 18 how he says till heaven and earth pass away one jot or one tittle will by no means pass away from the law so a jot is the tenth and smallest letter of the Hebrew alphabet a tittle is a is like an apostrophe if you will they're small is the point he's making so what is he saying here well when he says these things will not pass away saying one God's word is permanent God's word is permanent like he says later on in Matthew 24 35 heaven and earth will pass away but my words will by no means pass away or Psalm 119 verse 89 forever oh Lord your word is settled in heaven or again Isaiah 40 verse 8 the grass withers the flower fades but the word of our God stands forever so God's word is permanent he's also saying it is precise the prophecies were precisely fulfilled in him the law is precisely fulfilled in him in accorded to Hebrews 412 the word of God is living and active sharper than any double-edged sword it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit joints and moral it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart so it is precise and finally it is also trustworthy it will be accomplished numbers 23 19 says it well God is not a man that he should lie neither the son of man that he should repent has he said shall he not do it or has he spoken shall he not make it good God isn't a liar God's word can be trusted so Jesus fulfilled the righteous requirements of the law Jesus died as the perfect offering so Paul would say in Galatians 313 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law being made a curse for us it is written cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree and so God's word can be trusted but notice when he goes on to say in verse 19 whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven but whoever does and teaches them he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven now that's really important when he says therefore whoever therefore breaks that word break it speaks of annulling something it speaks of making something void to release yourself from its requirements it speaks of someone thinking that God's commands don't apply to them God's commands don't apply to them we have in our society many of us who think that the laws of the land really don't apply to us we're above the laws they apply to other people but they don't apply to me because somehow I am not having to keep the laws of this land and and all of us in this room could immediately say yeah I know somebody who does that but but I have to say I know myself and I know how I can do that and I know how I can explain away why I just broke the law I know I can do that I know that I'm driving somewhere and I can see that the speed limits 45 but that really applies to other people doesn't it because there's nobody on the road just me and there's a five mile per hour cushion isn't there and you can just do that stop signs stop signs are suggestions you roll up and there's nobody there right I mean double yellow lines they're there for other people because if I'm in a hurry and that person in front of me is going so slow they don't know how important my time is and I've got to get there so it's kind of go around W we do that and that's what the simplest things we do the human beings have a tendency of saying those things don't apply to me they apply to other people and it's funny because we may do something we shouldn't do and then we see that sin in somebody else and we condemn them we say oh man look at that person he's got to be going at least 75 how do you know that because I'm right on him laws applied other people that's a human foyable that's something that we are all guilty of and Jesus is speaking about this in the in the spiritual sense the word of course whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments the Jews had 613 commandments we'll see that later on and I'll give you more detail they had what were called the light commandments and they had what are called binding or the heavy ones the light ones were were were obviously less important in their mind to the heavy or the binding ones and so there is possible for them to to say well that's not that important but this one is more important and the Lord is making it clear that they're equally important God's word is God's word it's equally important and you need to keep his commandments so when somebody is keeping the commandments it's a demonstration of a sincerity that they have concerning the importance of the word of God you see because our attitude towards God's word reveals our degree of devotion to him Psalm 1 1997 oh how I love your law it is my meditation all the day Psalm 1 19 1 27 therefore I love your commandments more than gold yes than fine gold so Jesus is basically saying it's bad enough to willingly disregard what seems to be the least commandment but it's compounded by teaching others to do the same and when a rabbi is teaching his pupil to disregard one and to elevate another Jesus said you're not teaching him balance and therefore you're not doing the right thing obedience to the word of the Lord is really an indicator that you know the Lord somebody said if a man pretending to be Christ's disciple encourages himself in any allowed disobedience to the holy law of God or teaches others to do the same whatever his station or reputation among men may be he can be no true disciple Christ's righteousness imputed to us by faith alone is needed by everyone that enters the kingdom of grace or of glory but the new creation of the heart to holiness produces a thorough change in a man's temper and conduct you see fallen human nature attempts to find ways around obedience but Jesus's point very simple it's not permissible to ignore or modify even the least of my commands and again to teach others to do the same is wrong my understanding of the word of God and its importance is of immense importance in my spiritual life what is the Bible to you what does it mean to you all of us have heard the name Mahatma Gandhi Gandhi was not a Christian by any means he was a Hindu but Gandhi said something worthy of quoting Gandhi said you Christians look after a document containing enough dynamite to blow all civilization to pieces turn the world upside down and bring peace to a battle torn planet but you treat it as though it is nothing more than a piece of literature now isn't that an amazing assessment you have got in your hands the most powerful document God ever gave to man and you treat it the way you treat people magazine that's what he's saying in essence bringing it up to 2015 the word of God obedience to it love for teaching it properly in our day we have pastors who are afraid to teach the whole council of God because it offends sensitive hearers they don't want to hear it because our society immediately is going to look at us as haters because we teach the whole council that's just a fact and that's what's going on even right now I was asked by a local newspaper to make a comment on the situation that was recently experienced in high school with a man who declared himself to be a woman and I was received a phone call and they asked me a question concerning it and I said this is what I said to the church on Sunday gave the whole pretty much the whole excerpt transcript of what I given where I said to this church I said it's a teaching moment for us you can teach our children about what it means to be a man or a woman it's just an opportunity for us but we need to be careful not to be haters they have to be careful not to show any kind of or teach our kids to respond in any way that doesn't honor the Lord that's what I said so they take an excerpt from what I said and they take one that could be the most intolerant appearing statement so our door-to-door ministry just yesterday is knocking on doors sharing with people about the good news of the gospel and one of the houses one of the people who lived in the house that they were walking up to and talked to asked them are you from that church that David was all his pastors yes I am and then gave him an earful of how evil I am and that that happened to be Marie she was just you know she shouldn't have said that it's not right but that's what happens you can expect that because the intolerance is not the church of all people Christians are most tolerant because we see so much sin and we're able to love and care for and minister to in spite of that of all people you are the most tolerant because you don't go out and cut people's heads off because you're not out there damaging people's property what you're doing is loving them and telling them the truth that they might be set free but what happens is people think that we are just unloving well we don't want to ignore the Word of God and we also do not want to teach someone else to do the same every believer is a teacher and when you disregard his word you do come under stricter judgment somebody said why is it that some Christians although they hear many sermons make but slow advances in the divine life because they neglect the closets and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's word they love the wheat but they do not grind it they would have the corn but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it the fruit hangs upon the tree but they will not pluck it the water flows at their feet but they will not stoop to drink it from such folly deliver us oh Lord so we need the word of God and we need to obey it he says if you disregard it and teach others also you are least he says in the kingdom in other words your reward in heaven will suffer in 1st Corinthians 3 11 through 15 it says no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid which is Jesus Christ now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold silver precious stones wood hay straw each one's work will become clear for the day we'll declare it because it will be revealed by fire and the fire will test each one's work of what sort it is if anyone's work which he has built on it endures he'll receive a reward if anyone's work is burned he will suffer a loss he himself will be saved yet as through fire you see we need to be careful to guard our lives like it says in 2nd John 8 where it says watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for but that you may be rewarded fully those who are faithful receive a full reward and that's how we ought to live and that's what we ought to be doing and the teachers of the law should be teaching the whole counsel of it and then finally in verse 20 for I say to you that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven so he closes with a warning to live a genuinely spiritual life and not one that is only lived on the outside you see by outward appearance the Pharisees were considered truly and exceedingly righteous but Jesus in Matthew 23 says it this way in verses 25 through 28 he says how terrible it will be for you teachers of religious law new Pharisees hypocrites you are so careful to clean the outside of the cup and the dish but inside you are filthy full of greed and self-indulgence blind Pharisees first wash the inside of the cup and then the outside will become clean too how terrible it will be for you teachers of religious law new Pharisees hypocrites you're like whitewash tombs beautiful on the outside filled with on the inside with dead people's bones and all sorts of impurity it isn't the outside it's what's on the inside my dad had a coffee cup that he brought back with him when he served in the US Navy during World War two it was a special coffee cup he drank his coffee in the morning with out of this cup and and and every morning I can remember as a little boy my mom would would make the coffee for my dad and and as I got older I got the I got the task and for me it was an honor to to bring the coffee cup filled with my dad's coffee to him as he was reading the newspaper in his room and I would bring his coffee cup it was like holy service you don't spill a drop of this coffee and I used to carry it to my dad in the morning when I was a little boy and when I got a little bit older maybe nine or ten my mom said okay your dad takes this coffee this way go get him a cup of coffee now I've just advanced into real servanthood and so I remember going in and getting my dad's coffee cup and getting very carefully getting the the coffee pot they stuff what they called coffee pots and we put coffee in it and and I carried it now it's just a little guy and I carried it very carefully and I brought it and I gave it to my dad and my dad said oh son thank you very much and I stood there watching as he took his first drink of his coffee and he spit it out and he goes oh he goes what is this and he looks into it well my mom had taken the coffee grounds and it put them in in in a piece of paper paper towel and it stuffed it in my dad's coffee cup and so I actually just poured the coffee over that coffee grounds and but the outside look good the outside look perfect it was on the inside that there was a problem and I've never forgotten that because a lot of us can put on our Sunday go to meet and faces our Sunday go to meet and clothes and we can we can go to church and we can look good and we can have that appearance and that's what Jesus is speaking about and he's saying listen your righteousness has to exceed the righteousness of the scribes and the Pharisees who amongst the people were the most righteous people in their society when you saw a scribe saw a Pharisee you would see them as people who prayed people who gave people who fasted they did these things they were outwardly righteous and all the people said I can't memorize like them I can't speak like they do I can't quote like they do I don't know any of the things that they they are very righteous and Jesus had no they're not they're like tombs that are filled with decay that's what they are they are careful to clean the outside of the cup but the inside is filled with all kinds of impurity so that's what he's saying it's not that you shouldn't have a righteous life it's why do I have a righteous life what is given my life a righteousness and it has to be because Jesus has fulfilled the law of Moses fulfilled the word of the prophets and I have committed myself to the one who did what I cannot do righteousness comes when we humbly receive forgiveness for our sins through Jesus who fulfilled his father's demands the righteousness of God without the law is manifested being witnessed by the law and the prophets even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ and to all and upon all those who believe there's no difference the righteousness comes through faith and that's what Jesus is pointing to don't wear your righteousness on the outside become righteous within through faith

It is no secret that the economy of the country is in dire straits. Nigerians are speaking on how they have been coping with economic hardship and what the government can do to assist the people. But that's on street views. Take a listen. It's really sad actually because the cost of things are very crazy. You buy something for a particular amount on Monday. You go back to the market on Tuesday. Just barely 24 hours after and it's almost triple the price. And some people can barely afford that kind of lifestyle. So really the hardship presently is difficult. The country is almost impossible and unbearable for people to live. It has not been easy. The way things are expensive it has warranted us to be tracking. Like you see the one I'm sweating because the cost of transportation is high. So I have to track down here so that the chip need to be cheap for me. Going to the market and things are expensive you know cost of transportation cost of living is high and all that. They are supposed to know what to do. They can improve on it. They should step up their game in their administration. Governments have a lot of things to do and we personally as Nigerians we have a lot of things to do. We know that government are making policies that are not economically favorable for Nigerians especially people at grassroots. That one number one. Then number two is that we ourselves we are doing ourselves. In one sense is that there are some things that there are some commodities that we we purchase in this country that are not dollar monetary value. But we just like we once we hear there is a rise in dollar sure you understand everybody thanks to even local local made products people thanks to like oh okay even what you are not buying with dollar people thanks to like okay base the price of dollar. It's a bad time for them to wake up because this is not what they promise us. We suffer when the sun in the rain voting for them at the end of the day. This is what they are giving us. We don't like it. We don't like it. They should see to it. The hardship everywhere. Even yesterday I saw it at the social media where a father shot his son because he did not the son did not give him permission before he cooked the last meal and the guy died. You understand this is not good. The government they are really treating us bad. Nigeria government. This is not what you promise us. What is happening? Government have to do a lot of things. The migration issue is another thing you know because the economy is biting and I think the government should look at it. Look at the economic performance of the purchasing power of individuals that is actually low. They have to do something on it. One they should bring down produce of goods open up the border since agricultural sector is zero. We are not farming as a result of Boko Haram terrorism and kidnapping. So I think they have to open up the border and allow people and allow the influence of food. Let's people eat first. When we eat we can have the strength to do the next thing but the the the basic things of life food, shelter and clothing. Food is lacking, shelter is even lacking. Is it clothing? Everything is very expensive. So they should open up the border for now. That's one of the economic advice now advice trees that will give the government. Forget about employer that thing. You open the border and allow people to feed.
