"Father, we thank you, O God. We thank you that we can say that you're all things to us this morning, O God. Father, when we need promises, that you're a promise keeper. Your word tells us that you're not slack concerning your promises. So, God, we thank you that you keep your promises toward us. That your promises are yea and amen to those who believe, O God. We thank you that when we want a miracle in our lives, O God, we keep your promises toward us. O God, we can receive miracles because you're a miracle worker." [00:36:40] (29 seconds)
"There's a principle that Jesus gives us in Matthew chapter 6 and he said, but seek. First, the kingdom of God and his righteousness and everything else will be added on to you. And the things that Jesus refers to when he says that are the things that we all need in necessities of life, food, clothing and shelter, the basic necessity of life. And Jesus said, seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. And he says, I will take care of that. He says, because your father in heaven know that you need those things." [00:40:25] (26 seconds)
"James says, indeed we put bits in horse's mouth that they may obey us and we turn their whole bodies. So you put this little thing in the horse's mouth and you can control this huge animal, big animal, hundreds of pounds heavier than you, you can control. He talks about ships. He says, although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. You know, James uses the analogy of horses, huge animals, and ships, big sea -going vessels that are easily controlled with small pieces of equipment." [01:13:29] (36 seconds)
"Now this is family month. And as for family month. We talk about families. We talk about the home. And we talk about the importance of the home. I believe that the home is the place for instruction and learning. You know, we think that we send our kids to school and that's where they get learning and instruction. No, it starts in the house first. It starts in the home. And when you send them out to school and they get some instruction, when they come back home, it continues in the home. Amen. The home is the singular, most important aspect of society." [01:14:44] (34 seconds)
"So children are God's heritage. God blesses us. And the psalmist says that children are like arrows in the hand of a mighty warrior. They have to be aimed to do any good, to be any good. Right? But we can't over -aim them. We can't, when I say we can't over -aim them, sometimes there's some parents that are so much sticklers for what their children are going to become that they become a danger to the children themselves. Right? Your child wants to be an artist and he wants to go out there and paint and draw and do all those things but you want him to be a doctor or a lawyer." [01:26:32] (30 seconds)
