Today we're going to look at
1st Thessalonians chapter 5 verse 11.
Here the Apostle Paul says to us,
I've got a ton of memories from when I was a kid.
And one of my favorite things to do
each summer was go to summer camp and we
would go to a place in northern
Wisconsin it was called Camp Bird.
And so each summer, with hundreds of other
campers, we would head up there and we
would shoot arrows,
we would play softball,
we'd make crafts, and sing songs.
It's not as dorky as it sounds but it's close
and one of my favorite things to do though
was to go down to the lake.
And I loved to swim, and we would swim around this
dock and we would jump off this floating dock
with a diving board.
It's here that I had
one of the most memorable exchanges of my life.
I swam out to the dock and I
introduced myself to one of the older campers.
His name was Mike.
I said "Hi Mike, I'm Jared"
And then he responded,
"Hi Jared I'm Mike."
What you don't know is that he
was making fun of me because
he imitated my voice.
Now,
remember the first time you
heard your recorded voice?
In my mind my fifth-grade voice sounded a cross
between like Clint Eastwood and Barry White.
Apparently that was not the case,
because when he imitated my voice
imagine the highest, squeakiest
Mickey Mouse voice that you can imagine
as he said, "Hi Jared I'm Mike."
I didn't exactly cry,
but, to tell you the truth, I wanted to.
And it's now 30 years later and I can
still vividly see this scene in my mind.
Isn't crazy how we remember
hurtful words more than we remember encouraging words?
Well the Apostle Paul is telling
us to build each other up and encourage
each other with our words.
So today you've got all kinds of opportunities
to use your words.
And so Christ came to this earth.
Christ rose again so that you
can be something different and use your
words to build each other up and to make
a difference in their life that's positive.
Are they going to remember your words
that you use even if it's a high, squeaky voice
30 years from now?
Probably not.
But that's probably not the worst thing.
Let's pray.
Dear Jesus, help us use our
words to be kind and build up our
classmates and our co-workers
and our family.
In your name, amen.
It is so easy to remember
the discouraging words that someone says
or time that they made fun of us.
But what is it time where someone went out
of their way to encourage and build you
up in God's word?
We'd love to hear it,

EP. 1 "Moral Virtue" - Duration: 7:27.
good mine I should be uploading this and
around five o'clock Wednesday morning
Wednesday the 31st May the first video
that I did put up on this channel and
I'm not really going to do a whole
introduction thing was going to kind of
just dive in you know I'm going to look
over the meditations on First Philosophy
by Rene jacquard
so this video isn't necessarily about
the first meditation that will be next
week this I thought I would start on a
letter to Sorbonne the Sorbonne Sorbonne
a I don't know how you pronounce that
a letter from jacquard explaining why
these writing needs meditations what
he's trying to accomplish which I found
very interesting because nowadays you
know the debate of God the debate of the
existence of God is very hostile and
I've given up trying to argue everyone's
just so hostile I guess that's the only
word I can use
nobody's really understanding nobody's
willing to look at things through
another point of view which is exactly
what the card does in this book
pronounced inextricably those who are
wondering I'm drinking a cup of Nescafe
glass eco dark gross instant coffee me
on my my Apple mug but what the cart
does is he goes through almost all the
all the ideas all the theories that he
can think of whether he believes in or
not and just kind of you know digs deep
and explains them and that's that's what
really grabbed me about this book is
because nowadays in a you know strictly
oh this is my this is my point of view
everything else is wrong I kind of got
sick of it
you know but here it's very it's very
open you know because people back then
were really know just wanted to know you
know they just wanted to learn and it
didn't have time for any arguments of
course they had debates you know it was
it was a cordial conversation you know
with letters and shit you know
well I might as well just get started
with the letter I don't have too much to
say about the leather it's just
explaining you know what he plans to do
how he plans to do it there was one
passage that I did think long and hard
about the section I'm calling God and
soul God and the soul are two things
that need to be proven by non-believers
believers and non-believers for those of
us who are believers it is enough to
accept on faith that the human soul does
not die with the body and that God
exists in the case of unbelievers it
seems that there is no religion and
practically no moral virtue that they
can be persuaded to adopt until these
two truths God and the soul are proved
to them by natural reason a argument
that is still used by Christians
nowadays that people who don't believe
in God have no moral virtue for some
reason where the hell do we not get
apparently you need God to know that you
shouldn't kill people
skill the reason we don't do that guilt
simple empathy
I have a demonstration we feel pain when
we are wounded so we avoid wounding
others you don't like to cause pain to
others because it will interfere with
instincts such as I need to find a mate
to reproduce thrive with our species
maintain a social presence and survive
reduces life-threatening encounters
these three things I will admit there
are fairly open-ended I even went as far
as to cross out the second one because a
lot of people believe that they don't
either have a social presence or they
don't need one okay well if you don't
have one or if you're saying that you
don't need one
prove it go live under a rock for ten
years because of social presence isn't
you know just about a co-workers and
friends it's about family because if
you're living in close proximity with
your family that's a social presence
with a fellow human being now it makes
sense that you would not want to kill
people who help you live your life you
know if you have a significant other
that pays the bills buys groceries it
makes sense that you would not want to
hurt a person that helps you thrive as a
human survival was the last the last
example because if you don't go around
punching people it is a lot more likely
that people will not punch you the whole
tree people how you want to be treated
thing I don't remember learning that guy
I mean as being a person that went to
church most of my child
that's my two cents on moral virtue I
think that's what I can make this this
video around so for anybody who finds
this video and is generally interested
leave a comment on where you believe
more over Q comes from well this cup is
almost empty my name is Elle a hopeful
thinker by day and questionable musician
by night I hope I can stir some thought
into your day
you
