2nd & 3rd John

They can be if they accept the incarnation, what Jesus did, but they can't be saved. Why? It's the spirit. Our spirit bears witness that Jesus came, died, and rose again. This is how you're born again. So it is a born again spirit that believes in the incarnation. A non born again spirit will make all kinds of religious excuses of why not to believe in the incarnation. That is the spirit of anti Christ. [00:28:05] (26 seconds)  #BornAgainBelief

Does everybody hear that? The truth that is with us and in us. Now the thing I want you to hear is that this is a point in time in history where there is no Bible. Now the books are out there. Paul's writings are out there. People's writings are out there. But how were they led if they didn't have the Bible? How were they led? How did God lead them? He led them by the internal witness of the Holy Spirit in their lives. Does that make sense to everybody? This is something, in my opinion, that for years the church drifted from.

Listen to this, everybody. It is so important that we understand that there is a balance. There are actually two sides of the same coin is the way I would phrase it. Or as well, I was talking to the to to the team, and and miss Megan brought up the idea that it's the idea of a teeter totter. You have to have these imbalance. It's truth and love. It's not just love without truth, and it's not just truth without love. Let me go and expose this a little bit more so that we all understand it. Listen to this. Two ingredients are truth and love. Watch this. You cannot have love without truth. For love to be love, it must be accompanied. The ingredient is truth. You can't say I love somebody and lie to them. If you love them, you tell them the truth. Right? [00:10:00] (50 seconds)  #LoveRequiresTruth

If God were looking at my life, and on a one to 10 scale, like before eternity, he said, you know what? I think Charlie's gonna be like a four on a one to 10 scale. And then I get to heaven, and he's like, hey, Charlie. Good job. Well done, my good and faithful servant. I had you as a four. Turns out you were a six. All of heaven's like, well, we were shocked too. [00:26:42] (33 seconds)  #DoYourBestForGod

You know what I mean? But I wanna live my life where where whatever God and and I'm not talking about earning my salvation or earning things. I'm just talking about, Lord, I wanna do my very, very best to honor you. And at the end of the day, I can live with my best. Come on. Amen? I think that's good. Alright. Look at the next verse, and I love it. [00:27:15] (19 seconds)  #HonorGodDaily

Little did I know, and I've told people this since. Now I've been married for a for quite a while. I told I've told people this. And even in marriage counseling, I tell people, marriage is the highest level of accountability in your life outside of the witness of the Holy Spirit. Your spouse can call out things in you that nobody else sees. And you might think it's a bad thing. I'm here to tell you it's a fabulous thing. Why? Because love listen to this. Love challenges harmful, ungodly behaviors and attitudes. That's what love does. [00:13:47] (34 seconds)  #MarriageAccountability

This is my definition. Now I don't I don't know if anybody else sees it this way, but this way I see it. What is cultural love? Alright. What is the love what does the world use as the word love? Here's what I believe. Love based on feeling, passion, lust, fluctuating desires, personal gain, sex, and the like. You know? The this is what the the the the world defines as love. Now the problem with this this definition of love is this love is void of truth. [00:12:04] (32 seconds)  #LoveBeyondFeeling

Let's flip it around. Watch this. You cannot have truth without love. Love demands, I must tell you the truth. Does that make sense, everybody? That's why whenever she walks in, she goes, how do I look? Beautiful. [00:10:50] (20 seconds)  #TruthNeedsLove
