The Christian Family part 5

hi friends apostle price here this  year we are celebrating 35 years of   ever increasing faith television we are  still walking by faith during this year   we will air some of our most popular classic  series from years gone by remember you have   made it happen for the past 35 years I  appreciate your loyalty stay with us and   enjoy my classy teachings get involved  visit faith domed org for more details   from Los Angeles California ever increasing faith  with faster and teacher dr. Frederick Casey price welcome to ever-increasing faith remember these  words from the book of Romans chapter 10 verse   17 so then faith comes by hearing and hearing  by the Word of God well praise God for another   day and for another privilege and opportunity to  share with you the Living Word of God let's turn   to the book of Deuteronomy chapter 6 that's  where we left off last time however before we   begin there there are several things that I want  to remind some of and inform other people of and   that is that we're teaching on the subject the  Christian family the Christian family actually   there's only one family but when I say family I  mean husband wife children parent relationship   there's really only one however there are two  ways to approach it one from the world-system   standpoint and one from God Almighty standpoint  any people you know are people we have Christians   and non-christians of course but what I mean is  that the family was instituted by God there are   some people in a family situation that are not  Christian but then there are other people who   are in a family situation and they are Christian  so what we're doing is we're studying the subject   the Christian family and by virtue of attaching  the word Christian to it we are studying family   life from a Christian or biblical or godly  perspective in other words we want to find   out what plan does god have for family life so  we're talking about the Christian family now as   the title implies if we're going to talk about  the family we'll have to talk about husbands   we'll have to talk about wives we'll have to  talk about children we'll have to talk about   parents and so if we talk about husbands  and wives somewhere along the line we are   going to have to talk about sex because sex is  one of the minor things that produces children so we have to deal with the subject of sex and  the reason that I'm saying this is because I'm   making a preliminary statement so that no one will  become offended by what I may say concerning sex   if you have a problem with sex then I want you  to be aware of it you may have children that are   watching the program and you might not want them  to hear this at this particular time in their   life or development and that's alright I have  no problem with that so I'm warning you ahead   of time so that if I do say something you will say  my heart adieu sir that and then sit down and pin   me along 19 page letter handwritten to tell me  about why I shouldn't have said the stand so I'm   telling you now I'm going to talk about and if  you have a problem with it the best thing to do   is just sign off or turn the program on find out  what my subject is for that day if you find out   it's still on the Christian family then maybe you  want to switch to a game or something basketball   football or something like that or maybe you want  to rush the groundhogs or something like that and   then that way you won't be offended and I'm not  trying to be funny but I want to simply preface   this teaching by saying that so that you don't  have a problem I don't have time to read a lot   of letters about you telling me what I should  preaching what I shouldn't preach when you get   to be the pastor and you get on television and  you say it the way God tells you to say it until   then I'm gonna say it the way I believe he's told  me to tell it okay so so we have an understanding   nobody should be offended now you know where I'm  coming from and I'll be talking in very plain   language I'll do all that I can to say it in a  way that's appropriate for public communication   but again somebody may have a problem with if you  do I'm sorry look at what else can I say anything   else but I'm saying right now ahead of time that  I'm sorry and I trust that she won't be offended   all I want to do is help people not offend them  alright with that in mind we're talking about the   Christian family we've already talked about  marriage a divine institution that are that   marriage is ordained of God we talked about the  about marriage and divorce the obligation of it   how obligated are you to stay married to your  partner that you're married to right now then we   talked about what I call another view concerning  God's what God says in his word concerning divorce   I gave you an entirely different view I have  ever heard anybody deal with it that way and I   know that it was for someone and that it possibly  helped somebody then we talked about the duties   of the husband and we talked about the duties of  the wife and now we are presently engaged or we   just started last time talking about the duties  of the parents what are the duties of the parents   to their children from a biblical perspective but  before we do that in the interim period since last   time I got some more notes and some more letters  and I think some of these are beautiful and that   they help to share with us how the lesson or  the series on the Christian family is helping   people and that's what I'm all about I want to  help folk I don't have all the answers but God   does and being that I'm God's man and he's given  me an assignment then I want to share as much as   I can as much as the Spirit of God can bring to  me that will bring life and will bring revelation   and that will bring help to people and then of  course as a pastor one of the reasons that I'm   on the subject in the first place is because as a  pastor I have to talk to so many of you who have   problems live in problem situations day after day  after day Christian tongue talkers Bible toters   Bible markers tape recorder playing Christians  and still just as miserable and messed up and   strung out and unhappy and so because of that one  person comes to my office let's say every hour I   can talk to maybe eight people in the course  of the day in a five-day week what that's 40   people well my gosh we have thousands of people  that come here on Sunday morning here in the in   the in the auditorium sessions and there are some  people that would never make an appointment they   wouldn't come in and sit down in a counseling  session I mean they they couldn't even share   that part of their lives because to them is very  personal even though they're miserable yet they   just can't bring themselves to go and talk to  somebody about it yet they need help how do you   help them well you see in a forum like this there  are people sitting here you're looking good and   nice and dressed up and freshly scrubbed and all  that some of you are miserable you have to leave   here today and go back home to a hellhole excuse  my French that's just about what it is you'd have   it better going actually to literal hell then  some of you have to go back to a home or house   well see nobody knows who you are nobody knows  you're having the problem I don't know and you   don't and you don't know whether I know but I  can say it here and just throw it out there and   whoever is for it can help them see what I mean  and they can go away with some help without having   to come in and have a counseling session without  having to tell their wife or tell their husband   that I'm going to see pastor price see what I  mean so I just have to put it out here I don't   know who needs it and I'm not pretty supposing  but I know somebody does because if they didn't   God wouldn't be leaving me to talk about it  I know that we'd be on another subject amen   all right so I have another letter here that has  to do this one has to do it's a testimony about   marriage we've read a couple of them already but  I want to read this and it helps you to see that   there are other people going through that have  gone through that are going through the kinds of   things perhaps that you're going through you may  think your whole situation is totally unique and   nobody else in the world has had to go through  what you're going through and sometime when you   hear about somebody else you realize my goodness  there are some other people that do have some   challenges along with me you know there was a man  one day that was whining and crying and fussing   just having a fit because he didn't have any shoes  until one day saw man it didn't have any feet then   he said you know I ain't got too big of a problem  after all all right dear pastor price your series   on the Christian family has not only helped those  who are married but has helped some of us who are   still single particularly me my father walked  out on my mother brother and I when I was a   child I don't ever remember him being a part of  our family structure my mother was left too thin   for the three of us and over the years while  I was growing up I saw my mother married three   more times one marriage was so bad and filled with  violence that it made a nervous wreck of me as a   child and the effects have carried over into my  adult life over the years I have also listened   to my mother tell me what a bad thing it is to  get married as a matter of fact to this day if   I even mentioned that I am interested in getting  married she literally degrades me and marriage   and will say didn't I learn anything from her  experiences how do I know I recently made a   passing comment that I was interested in marriage  I wanted to see how her ranting and raving would   affect me still I honestly believe that if I  should decide to get married and invite her to   attend the ceremony she wouldn't come needless to  say what a negative idea I have about the subject   of marriage before listening to your series I had  underlined not underlined considered underlying I   had not considered the idea underlying of getting  married marriage has always scared me as a matter   of fact before your series I couldn't even imagine  myself married even after hearing your series I   still it still seems out of my realm I still feel  marriage and me is a lost cause but I'm hoping to   grow up in the Lord at some point over the years  while I was growing up I made a promise to myself   that I would never put up with what happened to my  mother and that I would never be as unhappy as an   adult as I was as a child so far I have kept that  promise to myself at the expense of not being able   to form a solid and lasting relationship with  anyone what I really want to tell you about how   your series has helped me is that I was glad to  hear that marriage has been ordained of God that   fact might be trivial to someone else but it was  comforting for me to know that if God says it's   okay then it is possible for me to get married and  be happy hallelujah and now that you've explained   the duties of the husband I know what to look for  a Christian man in my prayers I thank God for a   ministry like yours you have helped me so much  personally and in knowing God and what he expects   from me as his child and about what I can expect  from him in return you have helped me to realize   that in God my life is okay and that I'm okay I  have always found comfort in being in God's care   and I thank Jesus for making it all possible  but by his shed blood for me sincerely yours   in Christ Jesus that beautiful I think that's  beautiful I think that is beautiful all right   here's another one I too would like to express  my sincere gratitude to you for having the nerve   to minister on the Christian family this is the  first time that I have ever heard of this kind of   teaching in a church service that's too bad in  my opinion because church is the perfect place   for God to minister to the needs of his people  however my Heavenly Father knew that and he used   you to bless this to bless he use you to bless his  people I'm glad this is being taped for television   I would have to I have told several people about  it and they want to know when it is being aired I   thank you for not holding back and for allowing  the Holy Spirit to direct you I can hardly wait   from Sunday to Sunday to hear what God has for  me this is truly fresh I am especially grateful   because I am a single lady who's believing  God for my husband I have even reassessed my   standards for a husband I want you to know that  ministering on the Christian family has shown me   the type of marriage that God can get glory out  of the type of marriage I am going to have you   see pastor price I consider your unique method of  teaching on the Christian family as God's Way of   preparing singles for marriage I am praying that  other singles who are believing God for their mate   are just as attentive I feel that this is my time  to learn and to be admonished in closing I want to   also let you know that the icing on the cake for  me is that you are not just teaching this lesson I   can see it in your own family Betty radiates with  happiness and it shows in all of your children for   me this is the ultimate testimony PS I attend  8:00 a.m. service I do not want any recognition   because God alone gets the glory PSS please  don't rush through this series take your time welp you see if I haven't helped anybody else  I help these two people so it's been worth it   just for the benefit of those two fold and I have  one other thing here that I want to share because   this actually has to do with the husband but I  thought that it was good enough because we didn't   deal with this and nobody gave me a question about  it and I know from my own personal experience when   I first started out in what's called the faith  walk and really began to walk by the word I saw   a lot of people make dumb mistakes like what  this wife is talking about in this letter and   as they as a duty of the husband I think that  it's appropriate that I share this in passing   I think it can probably help somebody pastor price  and apparently this is a wife because she has the   word wife and it's circled what about if you don't  have the provisions you need around the house and   all your husband says is praise the Lord will get  it but you never see any action on his part as in   doing something so we can succeed and I can clean  and keep house like I should sign desperate help well that's a real thing and I know that there  have been husbands like that Christians period   like that but since this has to do with the  husband then I'll just unload on the husband   but I've known of cases like that where the guy's  talking about well I'm believing God my God shall   supply all my need and then he lies out on the  grasses in the backyard and just waits for manna   to fall from heaven you see but it doesn't  work like that the duty of the husband is to   provide for his family yes God is your source of  supply but that supply is probably going to come   through the hand of some man either an employer  or somebody that's going to walk up to you and   give it to you that won't happen that often that  last part the first part is more prevalent and   that is that God's going to work through a job or  a profession or something like that and so you may   be praying and believing God for you need to be  met but if you sitting on your backside and you   never go out and put an application in anywhere  and you're not looking to find a job then God   can't bless you with your need being met God is  not going to rain money out of the sky because   if he was going to do that I would have already  found out about that and I would have gotten all   the blessings believe me it would be none left  because I would have gone into the basket making   business and have baskets everywhere to catch  the blessings so that doesn't work so you can't   just sit around talking about well the Lord gonna  blessed us the Lord's gonna supply all our need   he's not going to if you don't go do something he  won't have a channel to buy what she can bless you   see what I mean so I'm believing God for my need  to be met here come Charlie Brown says Fred I've   got the I've got to go out of town on one of these  business deals in my backyard is overgrown and is   just like a jungle out there's all kind of weeds  and everything and I tell you what I'll give you   $50 if you go out there and clean all this stuff  up for me while I'm gone and I say to him oh wait   a minute I'm God's great man of faith in power  God meets my needs I believe all my needs are   met we'll see I'm going to starve see there's God  meeting my need that's the way it's going to come   see so if you're just sitting around doing nothing  and you're not eat you're not treating your wife   or family like a husband should you should be  making provisions and if nothing else you ought   to have 900 applications in wherever it is you  think you want to work and believe God that the   Spirit of God will give you favor with those  folk at that place and they'll give you that   job so God can use that as a channel to meet  your need are you following me so they I think   that's a valid a valid question that we ought to  deal with well now we're ready to get back to the   duties of the parents here we go Deuteronomy  chapter 6 Deuteronomy chapter 6 believe I was   still talking about Deuteronomy wasn't I hadn't  finished that now is it alright for me to share   these things like this as we go along or you you  don't want me to do that or what is that okay but   I'm gonna do it anyway but I I try to be nice  and let you say yes to it but I'm gonna do it   anyhow because there's good stuff praise the look  if we can help folk that's the name of the game   all right Deuteronomy 6 and then verses 6 and  7 if that in these words which I command thee   this day shall be in thine heart and thou shalt  teach them diligently unto thy what and shall   talk of them when thou sittest in thine house  and when thou walkest by the way and when thou   liest down and when thou this up now I made this  comment last time but because we always have new   viewers and we always have new visitors here I  need to restate that and that is the idea that   you realize I am reading from the Old Testament  and I we do in this ministry emphasize the New   Covenant because that is the covenant that we are  primarily under but you see I've said it before   and I'll say it again and that is that there  are something that you find in the Bible that   have universal application there are some things  that have strictly a dispensational application   for instance Old Covenant that's it then there's  some things that a new covenant and that's it in   other words under the Old Covenant you had animal  sacrifices but that's passe you don't have that   under the New Covenant however under the New  Covenant you have the Holy Communion which you   didn't have under the Old Covenant so those two  things are separate and distinct to that covenant   dispensation but then you have some things that  have a universal application the Lord is my   shepherd that's Old Testament or New Testament  that's no Testament or some Testament I mean   the Lord is my shepherd that's the universal  and that doesn't change are you following me   now God's method whether you realize it or not  God's method has not changed in terms of raising   children I said God's method has not changed  concerning raising children psychology may change   sociology may change God doesn't change because  man hasn't changed he's still the same thing   as he was when he came out of the Garden of Eden  full of sin and rebellion and full of Satan it is   dominated by controlled and influenced by satanic  influence everybody is if they're not Christians we're not talking about whether somebody's good  or bad from the moral stand but I'm just saying   everybody is under that kind of an influence all  of us if you're not a child of God then you have   no way you can for ward it off and even if you're  a child of God if you don't know what to do you   still be under that influence and directed by it  and controlled by to a great extent so God has   not changed concerning his methodology in raising  kids and what work back there will work up here if   we have enough sense to use it so I want you to  notice it this is the responsibility that I have   that you have that we have and that some of you  will have potentially that are that may become   parents of children here's what's going to happen  and these words verse six which I command thee   this day shall be in thine heart and thou shalt  teach them diligently not haphazardly diligently   unto thy children and that interesting it doesn't  say teach these to your wife or to your husband   but to your children we're talking about parents  II and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy   children and something else in other words unto  thy children's not the end of the thought and   shall talk of them what God's commandments  or God's words we're not talking about Ten   Commandments now God's Word because God's Word is  God's commandment and he's got more than ten of   them okay and thou shalt keep them diligently  unto thy children and shalt talk of them when   thou sittest in thine house and when thou walkest  by the way and when thou liest down and when thou   rises up so this is a total lifestyle thing that  God is talking about so we as parents have the   responsibility to teach God's Word to our kids  now we remember we're looking at this from the   standpoint of the Christian family and we that  say we're Christians if we're parents then we   have the obligation before God to teach our  children what thus saith the LORD but now how   can you teach what's let's say at the Lord when  you don't know what thus saith the Lord you know   what Jesus said if the blind lead the blind they  both end up in the microwave oven huh they both   end up in the ditch so if the blind lead the  blind I mean blind and truth if you don't know   the Word of God see notice the key is it shall be  in your heart that means your spirit so you can't   teach something that's not in you so we ought  to have the Word of God in us and then we ought   to be teaching that word to our children primarily  verbally but also by example we should be teaching   everything we do ought to be a lesson in it for  our children to learn that's your responsibility   as a as a parent and one too if you don't teach  your children you're gonna reap the whirlwind if   you don't and we see it all the time we see it in  society where people who have not been taught when   they were kids now they're adults and they're  still not taught and they're the ones running   this world untaught children that have grown up  as untaught adults or they have a lot of academia   they have a lot of book knowledge they can quote  chapter in verse and dr. so-and-so said so and so   and so and so a dr. so-and-so the latest theory  is so on so on so on so they know that but they   don't have any home training we should get down  on the street they don't have any they don't got   no home training and so they don't know how to  act as humans so they act like animals oh yeah   there's like just like folk to smoke you know  they don't have no home training cuz they don't   care anything about anybody else's feelings that  sit right next to you in a restaurant they'll see   that you're not smoking and they'll light up and  blow all that foul funky smoke all over you see   that's no honking no consideration for somebody  else they just think of somebody else just because   they want to suck on them things that somebody  else wants to smell that foul stuff there's no   home training see if I went into a restaurant if  I was a smoker and I looked up and I saw smoking   non-smoking section then I went to the best  of my ability I would move is far to the smoke   back of the smoking session as far away from the  non-smoking section as I possibly could because   I wouldn't want somebody in the non-smoking  section to do something I wouldn't want to be   faced with so I would consider that person and  I'd move way over here and then if I couldn't   get anywhere then I just wouldn't smoke right then  because after all so the rest wouldn't control me but it has to do at home training they have to do  with value systems and those are inculcated when   you're a child in the home the school can't teach  you that and that's supposed to teach you that   they teach you book knowledge statistics facts and  figures that other ought to be taught in the house   but how can you teach what you don't know and  what you don't live by yourself moving right along so duties are the pair's number one teach  number two turn to proverbs chapter 22 oh   I'm sorry turn to Ephesians six  rather there's something else I   want to talk say about teaching  turn to Ephesians chapter six Ephesians chapter 6 all right in Ephesians chapter  6 we're talking about teaching   the responsibilities of the parent 6:4  it says any father's provoke not your   children to wrath but bring them up in  the nurture and admonition of the Lord hmm and he father's provoke not your children  to wrath but bring them up in the nurture and   admonition of the Lord that means teach them God's  ways and see the way you provoke them to wrath is   by not teaching them now and then they have to  grow up and find out when they get out there in   that work a day world in foking and let them have  their way and then they go into collisions I mean   they have some hard ways to go because everybody  ain't gonna give them to you like your momma   would see it was easy for your momma to give in  to you to keep you from throwing a tantrum but   then folk out in the world don't care nothing  about your tantrum they'll put your tail in the   street quick and their ways to do it don't worry  about the labor relation deal they're ways to do   it they're doing they let info go every day so  don't give me no mess about that there's ways to   get rid of you and they will put you on the bricks  quick because they don't have to put up with your   tantrum see but your mama did because she knew  that was the easiest way to get along with you   she did you gonna go upside the wall and have a  fit so she just easy just let them have their way   so that's how you provoke him the wrath later on  y'all hate themselves they will hate themselves I   hate the way they act and it'll show up in their  relationship with their families when they start   their own families and it's a heck of a thing to  overcome terrible thing to overcome so don't don't   don't don't provoke your children to wrath by not  taking the responsibility that you should have   fathers and teaching your children that's why it's  so important that there be a father in the home   Satan knew that that's why he's so very cleverly  tried to destroy family life and end up with a lot   of women stuck with having to raise kids without  a father now there's nothing wrong with women   don't don't get upset now don't get on a little  crusade against me but what I mean is women are   not fathers they weren't intended to be fathers  any more than fathers were intended to be mothers in fact you spell f athe are different than  you spell mo th er even even a difference in   the spelling so so Satan knows that so that's  why I try to destroy the home then you just   keep on reproducing little Frankenstein monsters  that grow up into big Frankenstein monsters into   Godzilla's and wolf men and cat people and  all that kind of myths that's right and they   act just like it and he father's provoke not  your children to wrath but bring them up see   now when it says bring them up oh I'll tell you  if he had just said they'll tell it to him one   time and let it go with that but he said bring  them up that means you got to bring him up all   the way up until the time they go out on their  own that's your responsibility as parents and   and it's it's it's it's it's well I'll tell you  that later I was gonna tell you something but   it goes on the neck Scripture no it goes on the  neck Scripture up to in a minute but anyway we   need to teach we need to teach our children and  we're responsible and fathers you have a great   responsibility to teach there are some things that  the mother does some things that the mother can do   that's fine but the bottom line ultimate line is  that the man should be the figure as the father   hid and father figure to teach the child needs  that role model okay all right and he father's   provoke not your children to wrath but bring  them up in the nurture and admonition of the   Lord you're supposed to bring them up especially  if you have a child that's already accepted Christ   as his personal Savior and your Christian  parent you have a responsibility to teach   that child and bring that child up in the way  that he should go in terms of in the admonition   nurture and admonition of the Lord that's the  responsibility on your part now you can go to   proverbs 22 for the second thing that is a duty to  parents first thing is teach first thing is teach proverbs chapter 22 talking about duties of  the parents proverbs chapter 22 all right it   says train up a verse six verse a train up a  child in the way he should go underline should   go and when he is old he will not underline the  words he will not depart from it now whether you   realize it or not there is a difference between  teaching and training now there might not be to   you but there is to me and I'll show you so  you can teach that's one thing but train is   something else and here is where many Christians  are now don't get mad at me and get upset with me   because I'm not the one that didn't raise your  kids so when I say what I'm going to say don't   get mad at me and try to throw any rocks  just over at yourself because if your kids   are running while that's your problem not mine  however there are a lot of Christian parents who   have not done what thus saith the Lord and they  are reaping the whirlwind with their kids and   their center anti-violence don't understand  George he was raised in a Christian home what does that mean just because you were raised  in a pigsty doesn't make you a pig that doesn't   turn you into a pig just because you were raised  in a Christian home doesn't mean anything buying   of itself and so what's happened their kids have  departed see and then then they'd like to say that   God didn't tell the truth but God always tells  the truth the Bible says God cannot lie it's   impossible for God to lie and he's not lying to  you nor is he nor has he ever lied to you listen   to this train up a child in the way he should go  and when he is old he will not say he will not   say he will not say he will not God is speaking  God says he will not depart from it now you ready   to call God a liar are you ready to say that God  made a mistake then if they have departed it means   you didn't train them up in the way they should  go that's the key in the way they should go now   I'll tell you what I started to tell you moment  ago nosy things you wanted to hear that didn't oh   you don't you don't want me to tell you all right  I had a some people deliver some merchandise in   my house recently and there were two of them two  men and when they'd finished and everything was   fine and I was signing the delivery receipt and  they were about to go the man looked at me and he   said I've seen you somewhere before and I said  maybe television yeah you're a preacher aren't   you I said yeah he said every once in a while I  happen to flip by the channels and I and I see   you on and and you're about won a few I listened  to because you you make sense but you know I'm not   very religious and a lot of these guys there's  talking a lot of stuff and it doesn't make too   much sense to me now I am a and then he named the  denomination and he said in and I'm just raising   my kids just to let him do whatever they want  to do I just believed it however they want to   go whatever they want to do that's the way that  they should they should go well you know exactly   what you're gonna have humans don't know which  way to go they don't know what to do they don't   you know they don't if they knew what if they  knew which way to go if they knew what to do   there wouldn't be any person smoking a cigarette  all right I'm gonna prove this to you I don't   mean to embarrass anybody I'm not on a crusade a  this is peculiar that I'm talking about cigarettes   I'm when you last time you heard me missing the  sitter it's been a long time somebody might need   it but I won't be if there's anybody here honest  enough you have a pack of cigarettes with you let me let me let me have let me have a pack  let me have it let me have it for a minute   quickly now I don't know I know it'll know this  lady I'm not trying to put her on the spot don't   even put the camera on here cuz I'm not trying  to embarrass anybody I want to show you see we   talked about if you don't train your kids kids  they don't know where they don't know what to   do they need trained adults don't know what to do  full grown adult that lady looks full grown to me now show you what I'm talking  about here it is right on the box warning the Surgeon General has determined that  cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health   and yet she's smoking them a big pardon  now don't don't feel offended honey I'm   not trying to get on you I'm just I wanted I'm  using it as an illustration the man is telling   you it's dangerous to your health means if  folks are still smoking and she's not the   only one a bunch of rut rest of you in here just  wouldn't admit you got to go without any work   but that's I mean don't tell me they didn't did  they don't and she might have gone to college   and be a graduate smart intelligent folk and  the man's got written right on it wouldn't be   different if they didn't print it it's all printed  on the box danger to your health now if you got   a bottle of pills that your doctor gave you for  a headache and it's set right on the label that   this is arsenic and it will kill you would you  take the pill but you'll smoke too cigarette now   what is that I said what is that I got a word  for it but now all I'm saying is this I don't   forgive me young lady if I certainly did not know  I didn't know you gonna be here today so I wasn't   trying to put you on this but I just want to show  you we if you don't train a child you what you do   you can't even help an adult the man writing  on the box tell you his name is to your help now you tell me that somebody they don't need  some teachings and trainings and what you got to   get him when the young man huh all right train  up a child in the way he should go not in the   way that he wants to go see that's where a lot  of you've made a mistake your kids are running   wild you some of you don't even know where your  kids are but you didn't train them up in the way   they should go you train them up in the way they  wanted to go might as well save it might as well   say you let them do what they want to do you ask  them do you want to go to church no I know I got   it you okay Johnny just watch TV then watch the  cartoons no problem there's Bugs Bunny strictly   because you should never make a child do anything  against their will you will warp their character   you will flirt their growth pattern you will give  them a psychological aberration of the brain you   don't want to mess up their mind you never make  a child do what he doesn't want to do I tell you   what you do if you want the child and you as a  parent to keep your sanity you better make them   do it train listen carefully now train means  make them do it but I disagree with that you   can't why you can't make somebody do something  against their will well from a purist standpoint   you are right because the person would could  theoretically they could die before they give   in and do what you wanted to do I'm not but see  when I say make them I don't mean it make them in   the sense that you take somebody and say oh you  got to do this I don't mean make it like that I   mean make it there are ways to make folk do stuff  without ever lifting a finger you never have to   touch him you never have to touch him that man  is making some of you going to work tomorrow the   man is making you work he's making you work at  that job that you have because I tell you what   and he's not gonna lift a finger he's just gonna  tell you you don't work you don't get paid tell   me you ain't gonna go go to work tomorrow you're  going to work tomorrow oh yeah reluctantly you   said that but you going to work huh there are  ways to make without lifting a finger but Nazi   training means to make them do it some of you  that are here perhaps have been professional   athletes or in athletics now college or whatever  okay the coach doesn't come out to the to the to   the playing field where all the guys are in  they've got all their football gear on and   the coach doesn't come out there and say to the  guys night fellas it's a beautiful day today sure   would be a nice day to go to the beach just such  a balmy day today's beautiful nice breeze sunshine   and everything now and I said you know we have  a big game coming up next week this is the most   important game of the season championship game  but I don't want to I don't want to uh you know   put any pressure on you anything like that but  you know we do need you need a little training   a little more practice a little more exercise  now if it's all right with you is it okay if we   spend maybe a couple hours out here of praying and  can I get a vote here all you fellas in agreement he don't ask you nothing he tells you what  you are going to do when you are going to   do it how you are going to do it where you are  going to do it and how long you are going to do   now she'll never lift a finger to touch you and  you don't have to do it but you ain't gonna play   next week either or no other time are you going  to play are you following what I'm talking about   when I say make you can make somebody do something  what are you talking about you do that when you're   training huh it's a lot easier not to run it's a  lot easier not to do all this exercise and stuff   like this just go out and play but if you want  to play on that team you got to do what the man   tells you to do he's making those people do that  without ever lifting a finger to touch him he's   got a weapon he's in charge you want to play  you got to practice no practice no play same   with your children you have to make them because  they don't know to do it unless you make them the   books just train them up in the way they should  go see not the way they want to go train them up   in the way they should go because they don't even  know which way to go everything they do will be   contrary to the right way to do it have you ever  noticed in your life you just use your own head   and think about this have you ever noticed how  easy it is to do something that's wrong than it   is to do something that's right the easiest thing  in the world is eat nine pieces of cream pie but   you talked about sweating you talked about blood  sweat and tears to push away from that table and   not eat that second piece of pie what's the big  deal honey why in the world would that be so hard   but I mean you can sit down and eat stuff and  just grub it out just grab out I mean just fill   your belly with stuff until you can't eat anymore  and it's the easiest thing in the world pass that   refrigerator every time you pass it go inside  you hear that little door say open me open me   open me eat me eat me eat me eat I mean you open  the refrigerator and the pie is talking to you   eat me eat me eat me you open the freezer in the  ice cream saying one more cup full one more scoop   isn't that true you're the hardest to do right  I mean you have to work at doing what's right   in anything I don't care what it is the easiest  thing in the world to do the sloppy wrong thing   that's very easy no effort whatsoever it's like  the illustration it's easy to sit in the rowboat   and go down Stream you don't have to do anything  you know maybe move the tiller at the back of   the boat to keep it straight down the line but you  know where you gonna have some work going upstream   upstream that's work right is upstream wrong is  downstream just close your eyes and you'll be   going downstream you have to make your children  you have to if you don't make them pick up their   clothes angle pick them up and you can tell you  can tell the adults who were never trained who   are never made to do it and you ladies ought to  say Amen that is hey hey wait here here you come   pull these keys out unlock the door open the door  put his keys back in steps across the threshold ah in that ride no home training thank you sir  that's exactly what happened he did my wife   we've been married 33 years she has never  picked up behind me never never picked up   behind me never will but it starts as a child  these things are inculcated as a child oh don't   misunderstand me sure you can learn some things  and change some patterns once you get to be an   adult but it's it's going upstream when you do  it then it's a lot easier when you when you're   floating downstream is there maybe in the  in the know mama is in the Papa I'm moving   the boat in the direction it's supposed  to go in you better have your kids walk   brush their teeth or they won't brush them  huh wash behind the ears and under their   necks huh you better have them pick up their  toys either that a you will pick them up fool you better you better make pickup in some time  you got to tell them 19 times boy I told you   to pick up those toys and then they look at you  like you've broken their necks they get that look   on that you know like they're mistreated child  a battered child yeah but I can understand why   you let the little monsters get away with it I  can understand why you let him hear you it's a   lot easier that way for now your adrenaline won't  flow your heart respiration won't increase but it   will later on when they're 23 years old and you  get a call at 2:30 in the morning to come down   to the police station to pick your child up and  get a lawyer because he just killed another kid   it'd have been a whole lot better to have some  adrenaline running when that kid was 5 years old   3 4 or 5 years old and train them then hmm because  you're gonna hear from him one way or the other you have to make them make him go to bed kid  he'll stay up till he falls out what are you   talking about he'll stay up until he falls out  never go I mean they don't ever go to bed on   their own and I don't care if you get try to  be nice and give them an extra hour then they   still fall out over that you'd let him stay  up another hour do you mind you are put in a   bit when you said she's gonna put them there in  the first place don't try to give them no mercy   they'll take advantage of it then they'll cry and  whine me when you tell them to go to bed after two   hours of being up an extra length of time they're  still mess up and cry you better make them do it   and it'll pay handsome dividends in the end now  like I say it's gonna cost you something now it's   gonna be trauma your Adrenaline's gonna race your  heartbeats going to increase but it's better that   it does it now especially if you have some strong  weel kids now you might have some little plastic   passive children and there are children like that  I don't mean to put them down I mean they're just   easier to get along with and easier to deal with  in some children and they have a strong with I see   I have I have an extremely strong will and all my  kids have inherited they they are strong they have   minds that they don't plus the way we have trained  them is I always wanted my children to be able to   feel that they could always express whatever is  on their mind within the bounds of reason within   the family structure you know what I mean not get  out of place but I mean always have the freedom   to feel like they could safe whatever they needed  to say and not have to talk to some kid behind the   locker room but could talk to their parents and  get some straight answers that's what I'm talking   about are you following me so we always have an  open forum we top talk at home just like I talk   here we sit down at the table they have their and  we just wrap we just talk about anything you name   it we talk about and just call a dog a dog I mean  no we don't say some with four legs in the tail we   say dog huh and and so my kids are strong strong  will and they have minds of their own but you   have to make them I never will forget we first got  into the things of God and really what art moving   in the spirit that's when I was passing this new  church over here our church was see the 158 people   he was a giant building huge huge edifice we had  one two three four five six seven eight this was   the wall here was the door and there was outside  and this was the church from here to that front   row it was about this wide I think he'd get eight  people on I either side of a center aisle and that   was our church 158 people that's how many we could  get in we squeeze a few more in there but you get   150 and we have a little Mickey Mouse balcony  up there just about as big as that sound booth   I guess just about that big you could see the few  people up there and then the the between the front   row and the communion table was about this much  room and then right behind the communion table   was a pulpit and so I was about this closer so  you could see everything that was going on in   the autumn you know it close one eye and and and  and squinch and see everything that's happening   you know it was that small and so we finally got  to this point Angela and she's here today Angela   my oldest daughter had arrived at that point in  life at that age of brilliance and independence   and human logic and so she just decided that she  could not fathom why she had to go to church twice   on Sunday she just could not understand them I  told her that listen we are a church-going family   we go to church I'm the pastor we have services  in the morning at one service in the morning at   that time ha ha one service in the morning and  then we had one service at night and we went to   church all day on Sunday the kids didn't go to  the movies they didn't go anywhere else sunday   was God's day that's just the way it was and she  couldn't understand that she had arrived at that   point where she just could not see that that was  justifiable in any way and so Angela and I went   around and around and and around the mulberry  bush and I told her and you know it was one   of them things that we finally getting she's one  oh she will ask you why in a minute she'll drive   you up the wall with why and there's some times  there ain't no why I said so that's why end of   discussion and so I told her you going to church I  ain't gonna go I said you are going to go I'm the   father I'm the head and you are going but I don't  understand why because I said so that's why all   the time my heart rates going up that gentleman  is flowing and we went around in Wrath had you   going to church you going to Sunday night that's  it sometime you have to get firm with them and I   said you're going I don't see why I am the girl  highest honor I said you're gonna go well I hang   on a participator hang on do it I said I don't  care what you don't do you go into church okay   you're going that's it well she finally she came  on to church now here we go aid rose it's all we   had a rose and here was the here was the last  seat this is a little center aisle eight people   on that side eight people on this side this is  a last row right here the wall is right there   and the double doors would go outside or right  here Angela would come in and sit in this seat   right here lassy right next to the door that's  where she would sit and of course I didn't have   any assistant passwords in there I didn't have  nothing for anybody assist me with and I'd be   I'd have to lead the songs and all that and I'm up  here leaving the song and at that time we had hymn   books you know song books in the Pew pockets and  so I'd say we turn to hymn number so-and-so we'd   sing this song and Angela was sitting and we'd  have the people stand up while we were singing   and I'm right up here I can see everything Angela  was sit right in that chair she wouldn't get her   tail up off the chair she would sit right there  in that chair she would not open the songbook she   would not praise the Lord she would not think she  would not do anything but just sit there like this God my witness sit there just like a puffer  fish I mean just be bloated up didn't make   me no never mind she was in church she was  doing what I told her to do see if I don't   do watch this you'll learn a great lesson if  I don't do what I have been commanded to do   by my heavenly father then he cannot do what  he wants to do see I'll cut him off he can't   get involved in my children because I haven't  done what I'm supposed to do I've got to do my   part and it'll cost you something and she just  puffed up his sat there i mean week after week   she'd come in we'd be singing the folks of  he prays and on holiday and she just he said   no time churches over but that was all right I  was I was training her you see where she is now she we had at the other when we would first went  to Crenshaw we had a a book room was just really   just a big empty room with a table in it and  we had some tapes and stuff there and Angela   started she started to work in that little book  room for nothing I mean no no pay or nothing she   just would do it because she just saw I needed  somebody to do it and at the time I think you   were going to when you
