Brother Jim: you're getting it anyway.

Brother Jim: And we are so glad that you are here with us today.

Brother Jim: And if you are here to learn something.

Brother Jim: Jolly joy.

Brother Jim: A little bit of everything.

Brother Jim: Welcome back to the podcast.

Brother Jim: You keep listening to for

Brother Jim: reasons David and I, we just

Brother Jim: can't understand.

Brother Jim: Smile.

Brother Jim: You love us.

Brother Jim: So grab your coffee, ignore your

Brother Jim: responsibilities for a little

Brother Jim: bit and let us get into it,

Brother Jim: shall we?

Brother Jim: Hey, friends.

Brother Jim: You know, every time I take my dog to the park, the ducks try

Brother Jim: to bite him.

Brother Jim: That's why I. What I get for buying a purebred dog.

Brother Jim: Get it?

Brother Jim: Bred dog.

Brother Jim: Uh. And hey, oddly, honey, this one's for you.

Brother Jim: Why shouldn't pigs drive?

Brother Jim: Don't get upset.

Brother Jim: Any idea?

Brother Jim: David?

David: I have no idea.

Brother Jim: They hog the road.

Brother Jim: Sorry, baby.

Brother Jim: It's okay.

Brother Jim: Yes, it's double joke.

Brother Jim: Thursday.

Brother Jim: Thank you.

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: What a blessing.

Brother Jim: So in saying that, good morning to you, our friends.

Brother Jim: Good morning world.

Brother Jim: Let us thank God for another beautiful day, another breath

Brother Jim: and another opportunity to grow.

Brother Jim: And I hope you're growing in

Brother Jim: Christ here on Bible bibs and a

Brother Jim: prayer.

Brother Jim: We start our day with gratitude, good conversation, bad jokes,

Brother Jim: and positive energy.

Brother Jim: Let's turn this in to.

Brother Jim: Let's turn this from a conversation into an experience.

Brother Jim: Allow me to introduce now my co-host.

Brother Jim: If I am the sermon, he is the

Brother Jim: illustration that makes you

Brother Jim: remember it whether you want to

Brother Jim: or not.

Brother Jim: Allow me to be honest.

Brother Jim: This is the person I trust to read scripture correctly, but

Brother Jim: not to operate the church's thermostat without supervision.

Brother Jim: Say hello to a man among men, a

Brother Jim: face that only a mother could

Brother Jim: love.

Brother Jim: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages,

Brother Jim: including all pets and creatures of the land, air and sea.

Brother Jim: Please welcome the one, the

Brother Jim: only, Mr. David Keener, plus one

Brother Jim: of my best friends in the whole

Brother Jim: wide world.

Brother Jim: Good morning, my friend.

David: Good morning.

David: And I would argue that, um.

David: What am I doing here again?

David: I'm messing stuff up.

David: Stop it.

David: There we go.

David: Jeez.

David: I would argue that I'm one of

David: the few people that you can

David: trust to touch the church

David: thermostat, because you and I

David: are on the same wavelength

David: there.

David: I'm gonna keep it about sixty five in here.

David: Yeah, there we go.

Brother Jim: There we go.

Brother Jim: Yes. How is life in Kingsville?

David: It's good, it's good.

David: The weekend is upon us, and I don't know quite what's planned

David: yet, but that's okay.

David: It's not work.

David: So that's.

David: That's all that matters.

Brother Jim: Yes, yes, the weekends are an adventure.

Brother Jim: And I've noticed lately the wife and the child, they tend to

Brother Jim: disappear on Saturdays.

Brother Jim: Yes, yes.

Brother Jim: Uh, it's kind of an odd coincidence.

David: But mine do that too.

David: And I gotta say, I'm.

David: I'm not really upset about it because I can get stuff done

David: that needs done.

Brother Jim: Well, yeah, it's always be nice

Brother Jim: for a couple helpful hands out

Brother Jim: there, so.

Brother Jim: But yeah, I can't complain.

Brother Jim: Uh, so yeah, we're just sounds like we're both kind of in the,

Brother Jim: the, the, the, the bucket here of not knowing what's going to

Brother Jim: come along for the weekend.

David: Yeah. Yeah. But that's okay.

David: Sometimes it's nice to have just

David: yeah, whatever happens, happens

David: weekends.

Brother Jim: Well, if it's nice, I guarantee you I'll be out there working on

Brother Jim: a farmer's tan.

David: There you go.

Brother Jim: Yeah. While I was off, I got a pretty nice farmer's tan.

Brother Jim: You can tell boy.

Brother Jim: Tank top city.

Brother Jim: Take it off.

Brother Jim: And who put the shirt back on for?

Brother Jim: More than.

Brother Jim: Other than one reason other than

Brother Jim: I'm killing you with my

Brother Jim: whiteness.

Brother Jim: But, uh.

Brother Jim: Um.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Uh. Oh, I forgot to add, uh, got

Brother Jim: the daughter Ellie out there,

Brother Jim: put her on the Steiner with the

Brother Jim: bucket.

Brother Jim: And by golly, she was a good little driver.

Brother Jim: She helped haul, uh, rocks in for me.

Brother Jim: Nice.

Brother Jim: So. Yes, yes.

Brother Jim: So, uh, don't know if I'm ready

Brother Jim: to throw her on the mower yet or

Brother Jim: not.

Brother Jim: Uh, because that's my thing.

David: Yeah, that's.

Brother Jim: My, my think time, so.

David: I know what you mean.

Brother Jim: Yeah. Could throw her on the weed eater, though.

Brother Jim: But I'm so anal about that.

Brother Jim: That's the bad thing.

Brother Jim: I'm my own worst critic.

Brother Jim: Instead of taking help when offered.

Brother Jim: Nah, I got it.

David: Because, yeah.

Brother Jim: My pride, my.

Brother Jim: They're not going to do it right.

David: I understand.

David: I'm the same way like I people.

David: My wife would love to mow the yard, but I wanted a certain way

David: and I'm going to be unhappy if it's not a certain way.

David: So rather than start that fight, I'm just, you know, I'll do it.

Brother Jim: Yeah, I'll do it.

Brother Jim: Yes, yes.

Brother Jim: Uh, I can't remember if we talked about this.

Brother Jim: We probably, I don't remember.

Brother Jim: You'll have to remind me.

Brother Jim: It's been so long, but, uh, I was asking about weed killer,

Brother Jim: and somebody, uh, sent Holly Reichman sent me a message.

Brother Jim: Try this stuff.

Brother Jim: Got it at Lowe's.

Brother Jim: It's like the super on steroids.

Brother Jim: Mhm.

Brother Jim: Because I have a lot of thistles and the one big flower bed.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Oh my goodness dude.

Brother Jim: I'll get, uh, I'll take a I'll, I'll bring in the name of it.

Brother Jim: I sprayed it in the afternoon.

Brother Jim: By evening you could see the little one starting to wilt.

Brother Jim: I went out the next day less than twenty four hours.

Brother Jim: They were dying and now they are

Brother Jim: nothing but almost dust in the

Brother Jim: wind.

Brother Jim: So, uh, I was impressed.

David: It's good stuff.

Brother Jim: Oh, it is, it is.

Brother Jim: I was thinking about taking a snort, but I decided not to.

Brother Jim: Oh. All righty then.

Brother Jim: The week has almost come to an end, friends.

Brother Jim: What have you done to make this past week?

Brother Jim: To make a difference in God's kingdom?

Brother Jim: To make a difference in someone's life.

Brother Jim: And hey, you still got time.

Brother Jim: As we say, the weekend is almost here.

Brother Jim: Time to do something good.

Brother Jim: So saddle up.

Brother Jim: Let's make sure our hats are straight as we hit that brand

Brother Jim: new weekend trail together.

Brother Jim: Come on, come on, come on, friends, you're almost there.

Brother Jim: To the finish line for the week.

Brother Jim: You can do it.

Brother Jim: Now, a Pre-birth class was aimed at couples who already had at

Brother Jim: least one child.

Brother Jim: The instructor raised the issue

Brother Jim: of breaking the news to the

Brother Jim: older child.

Brother Jim: It went like this.

Brother Jim: Some parents, she said, tell the

Brother Jim: older child, we love you so

Brother Jim: much.

Brother Jim: We decided to bring another child into this family.

Brother Jim: But think about that, ladies.

Brother Jim: What if your husband.

Brother Jim: Now, here we go.

Brother Jim: This is pretty good.

Brother Jim: Ladies, what if your husband came home one day and said,

Brother Jim: honey, I love you so much.

Brother Jim: I decided to bring home another wife.

Brother Jim: One of the woman's.

Brother Jim: One of the women spoke up immediately.

Brother Jim: Does she cook?

Brother Jim: And we are getting down to almost, uh, time.

Brother Jim: David with our daughter Michaela.

Brother Jim: She is almost ready any time now.

Brother Jim: So when I was thinking of Dawson, our grandson, he's

Brother Jim: excited for baby Emma or Emmie.

Brother Jim: Whoa.

Brother Jim: I'm going to get in trouble for that one.

Brother Jim: Emmie.

Brother Jim: But, uh, you know, he's a little past two.

Brother Jim: How's he going to share when.

David: That could be interesting.

Brother Jim: And plus, the attention the baby's getting.

Brother Jim: So, you know, of course, El Padre's here to take care of

Brother Jim: that for him.

Brother Jim: So yeah, today's thought is we continue.

Brother Jim: We've went from salvation wise salvation important.

Brother Jim: This past Tuesday we discussed

Brother Jim: do you believe in heaven and

Brother Jim: hell?

Brother Jim: Well, today's thought hell is not God's desire.

Brother Jim: It is the result of rejecting his love.

Brother Jim: Oh my.

Brother Jim: We kind of touched surface on

Brother Jim: that scratch the surface last

Brother Jim: week on that about or excuse me,

Brother Jim: last Tuesday, this past Tuesday

Brother Jim: on God does not send people to

Brother Jim: hell.

Brother Jim: We make that choice.

Brother Jim: So what is hell?

Brother Jim: Now, last Tuesday here we read Luke sixteen to nineteen.

Brother Jim: There the thirty.

Brother Jim: Luke sixteen nineteen to thirty one, talking about Lazarus and

Brother Jim: the rich man.

Brother Jim: Kind of more well known story from the Bible.

Brother Jim: But today we're dealing with a topic many people avoid.

Brother Jim: But Jesus, he sure did not avoid it.

Brother Jim: He spoke clearly about heaven

Brother Jim: and he also spoke clearly about

Brother Jim: hell.

Brother Jim: Now, from Tuesday's episode, have you given it some thought?

Brother Jim: Do you believe in heaven?

Brother Jim: Do you believe in hell?

Brother Jim: Hopefully you've come to the conclusion.

Brother Jim: Yes, brother Jim.

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: I believe in both.

Brother Jim: But if we take Scripture seriously, we have to ask the

Brother Jim: question, what is hell?

Brother Jim: And this past Tuesday I was asked, I quizzed David, I put

Brother Jim: him on the spot.

Brother Jim: You know about hell, what our

Brother Jim: society, what the world has

Brother Jim: deemed.

Brother Jim: And we've kind of turned it into a party, have we not?

Brother Jim: David?

David: We have.

Brother Jim: Yes. You know, little man

Brother Jim: running around, you know, with

Brother Jim: pitchfork and horns and, you

Brother Jim: know, all his little goons

Brother Jim: running around.

Brother Jim: But friends, hell is real, not symbolic.

Brother Jim: In Luke sixteen, as we discussed

Brother Jim: Tuesday, Jesus tells of a rich

Brother Jim: man who dies and finds himself

Brother Jim: in torment.

Brother Jim: This is not presented as imagination or exaggeration.

Brother Jim: It's not a fable.

Brother Jim: Jesus describes it as a real place with suffering.

Brother Jim: And as we discussed Tuesday, David, separation but suffering.

Brother Jim: How do we suffer in this world, David?

David: Well, we can.

Brother Jim: Some of the things we suffer from.

David: We can suffer in our bodies with pain and things like that.

David: We can suffer financially, not

David: having enough money to pay the

David: bills and can suffer in

David: relationships.

David: I mean, the list goes on, right?

Brother Jim: Yeah. Mentally. Yep. Depression, loneliness.

Brother Jim: Mental illness.

Brother Jim: I'm not good enough.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Nobody likes me.

Brother Jim: Why doesn't anybody love me?

Brother Jim: Do I matter in this world?

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: That's all part of suffering now.

Brother Jim: Physically.

Brother Jim: Oh my goodness.

Brother Jim: The list goes on and on.

Brother Jim: Personal experience on that one, folks.

Brother Jim: Why, Lord?

Brother Jim: Why does David have a nice patch

Brother Jim: of hair on his head and I do

Brother Jim: not.

Brother Jim: Why did I not grow to be six six?

Brother Jim: Why did I not get a shot in the

Brother Jim: NFL, the NBA, or the Major

Brother Jim: League?

Brother Jim: The list goes on, but it turns into.

Brother Jim: As I've thought about this, it all connects to us, right?

Brother Jim: What about God's will?

Brother Jim: What about God's free will?

Brother Jim: Again, let's let these two words sink in this morning, shall we?

Brother Jim: Suffering and separation.

Brother Jim: Hell, my friends, is not a myth to scare people.

Brother Jim: No. it is a biblical reality.

Brother Jim: Now today's Hollywood entertainment.

Brother Jim: Now, David, I'm a fan.

Brother Jim: I hate to admit it, but, you

Brother Jim: know, back in the eighties, we

Brother Jim: had all the good old scary

Brother Jim: movies.

Brother Jim: Yeah, Hollywood in my opinion.

Brother Jim: My opinion alone has taken it to a demonic realm now.

David: Oh yeah.

Brother Jim: It went from good old Jason

Brother Jim: chasing people or Freddy to

Brother Jim: things that make your hair on

Brother Jim: your neck.

Brother Jim: Still got hair there.

Brother Jim: Tingle.

Brother Jim: You look around.

Brother Jim: Satan's not hiding anymore, is he?

David: No.

Brother Jim: And as society is a fallen,

Brother Jim: sinful nation world, we're

Brother Jim: creating more and more doors to

Brother Jim: open.

Brother Jim: Just in my opinion, again to hell, are we not?

Brother Jim: We are.

Brother Jim: I mean, we are just that we're not dabbling anymore.

Brother Jim: We're we're right in the mix of it.

Brother Jim: There's.

Brother Jim: Because there's no thought to what we're actually doing.

Brother Jim: Think about that, what we're producing today.

Brother Jim: And you know, with all the I

Brother Jim: can't wait for Hollywood to

Brother Jim: finally break open for the

Brother Jim: singing industry.

Brother Jim: They're starting to come out on the rituals, demonic rituals you

Brother Jim: have to go through.

Brother Jim: MM. Makes you think, is it true?

Brother Jim: How does a nobody all of a sudden go to a rock star?

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: How does a nobody become a Oscar

Brother Jim: winner or number one movie,

Brother Jim: which David and I was just

Brother Jim: discussing.

Brother Jim: Going to the movies is a bum anymore.

Brother Jim: It's just a bumming moment because there's no good movies.

Brother Jim: Hey, we'll do a remake from

Brother Jim: Something Spectacular from the

Brother Jim: eighties.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: I mean, I'm sorry, but with

Brother Jim: Footloose, Kevin Bacon steals

Brother Jim: the show.

Brother Jim: You know, I, I refuse to watch

Brother Jim: any remakes other than Red Dawn

Brother Jim: two.

Brother Jim: That that was pretty good.

Brother Jim: But, uh.

Brother Jim: Again.

Brother Jim: Jesus spoke more about it as we discussed Tuesday, spoke about

Brother Jim: hell more than just about anybody else in the Bible.

Brother Jim: And again, listen to me.

Brother Jim: Not to frighten, but to warn.

Brother Jim: Now, David, if you love

Brother Jim: somebody, you see them heading

Brother Jim: for trouble.

Brother Jim: Aren't you going to warn them?

David: Yeah, absolutely.

Brother Jim: If you see him, too, they're

Brother Jim: going into a life threatening

Brother Jim: situation that could take their

Brother Jim: life.

Brother Jim: You're going to warn them, right?

David: Certainly.

Brother Jim: Because you're doing it out of love, right?

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: But today's society, today's world, you're a hater.

Brother Jim: You're a hater because the devil has introduced this lifestyle

Brother Jim: that you are entitled.

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: You are entitled viewers to

Brother Jim: choose whatever you choose to

Brother Jim: live.

Brother Jim: Hey, if I wanted to marry Ida

Brother Jim: Lee, don't I have that right

Brother Jim: now?

David: David, that's what.

Brother Jim: They tell you to marry this fake pig.

Brother Jim: Sorry, baby.

Brother Jim: Or Tom?

Brother Jim: The turkey here.

Brother Jim: It's okay dude.

Brother Jim: Do you realize, my friends, that I was reading up on this.

Brother Jim: We have come to a place in our

Brother Jim: country today where it's okay

Brother Jim: for Mama and her son to get

Brother Jim: married.

Brother Jim: Check it out my friends.

Brother Jim: It's becoming more and more now.

Brother Jim: That's kind of a sick perversion, is it not?

Brother Jim: Or mom and daughter.

David: They said, uh, fifteen, twenty years ago, they started saying,

David: love is love.

David: You can't tell people who to love.

David: And I knew the minute they opened that box.

David: Where do you draw the line when you say love is love?

Brother Jim: Yep.

David: How do you draw the line?

Brother Jim: Pandora's box has been blown open.

Brother Jim: Yep.

Brother Jim: Because you're entitled, brother.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You can do whatever you want to do to make you feel happy,

Brother Jim: happy, happy, happy, or whatever fulfills your innermost desires.

Brother Jim: Yep.

Brother Jim: MM mm.

Brother Jim: Now, to me, and I'm not that

Brother Jim: intelligent, but it kind of

Brother Jim: sounds like it's opening the

Brother Jim: door to a one way ticket to

Brother Jim: hell.

Brother Jim: MM. Yeah.

Brother Jim: But again, it's out of love, my friends.

Brother Jim: It's out of love and compassion.

Brother Jim: Because I don't want to see you go to hell.

Brother Jim: David doesn't want to see you go to hell.

Brother Jim: But yet we are.

Brother Jim: MM. What's a good word?

Brother Jim: Criticized is not powerful enough.

Brother Jim: Condemned.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Condemned. Scrutinized.

Brother Jim: Oh, there we go.

Brother Jim: Labeled as haters.

Brother Jim: As Jesus freaks.

Brother Jim: Holier than thou.

Brother Jim: The list goes on.

Brother Jim: No. Now there are those people who love to judge, who love to

Brother Jim: cast their opinion.

Brother Jim: But they don't do it in a loving way.

Brother Jim: How about how many pastors out there now?

Brother Jim: I believe preaching the gospel.

Brother Jim: Believe in preaching in heaven and hell.

Brother Jim: But there's a way to do it, isn't there, David?

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Versus David, you are a sinner.

Brother Jim: You're going to hell because you do this, this, this, and this.

Brother Jim: Wait a minute.

Brother Jim: As we talk Tuesday again, Jesus doesn't care about your past.

Brother Jim: He wants you now.

Brother Jim: Present?

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Because, dude, I'd be screwed.

Brother Jim: Let's just be blunt.

Brother Jim: If we went off my past.

Brother Jim: But that is Jesus's mercy.

Brother Jim: And that is grace.

Brother Jim: My friends too.

Brother Jim: Not to frighten, but to warn.

Brother Jim: Hell is separation from God.

Brother Jim: As we've discussed, one of the clearest descriptions of hell is

Brother Jim: found in second Thessalonians one, verse nine, which speaks of

Brother Jim: eternal destruction away from the presence of the Lord.

Brother Jim: Let's go to the verse.

Brother Jim: Verse nine.

Brother Jim: They will be punished with

Brother Jim: everlasting destruction and shut

Brother Jim: out from the presence of the

Brother Jim: Lord, and from the glory of his

Brother Jim: might.

Brother Jim: HMM.

Brother Jim: The most painful part of hell is not just suffering.

Brother Jim: It is separation from God.

Brother Jim: Think about if you took a toddler, David.

Brother Jim: How would your youngest.

David: three.

Brother Jim: Through him just out in the street.

Brother Jim: What would he suffer?

David: No. for everything.

Brother Jim: He's going to suffer everything

Brother Jim: because he has lost his mother

Brother Jim: and father.

Brother Jim: Yeah, he's lost that connection.

Brother Jim: He's lost that love, huh?

Brother Jim: Isn't that what Jesus is saying right now?

Brother Jim: What he said back then is still

Brother Jim: as radically true as it is

Brother Jim: today.

Brother Jim: No comfort of his presence, no

Brother Jim: light of his truth, no joy of

Brother Jim: his peace.

Brother Jim: No hope of his grace.

Brother Jim: God and God alone is the source of all good things, and hell is

Brother Jim: the absence of that goodness.

Brother Jim: Hell is the result of rejection.

Brother Jim: Your rejection.

Brother Jim: My rejection.

Brother Jim: You choose it.

Brother Jim: Nobody else does.

Brother Jim: At the end of the day, the buck stops with you.

Brother Jim: It's not God's desire.

Brother Jim: God does not take pleasure in any Anyone being lost.

Brother Jim: David, would you take pleasure

Brother Jim: in one of your children being

Brother Jim: lost?

David: Absolutely not.

Brother Jim: You'd be a. I'm guessing you'd be going bonkers.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Yes, so would I. Come on, be honest.

Brother Jim: So would you.

Brother Jim: If someone you love so much was lost, it would hurt.

Brother Jim: You would go nuts trying to find him.

Brother Jim: You would do anything to save them.

Brother Jim: True.

Brother Jim: David.

David: It's true.

Brother Jim: So what did God do?

Brother Jim: He sent Jesus to this earth to walk this earth.

Brother Jim: To walk in our shoes.

Brother Jim: So there's no excuses.

Brother Jim: No excuses.

Brother Jim: You can't say, well, you know, I didn't know what I was doing.

Brother Jim: Jesus never went through this.

Brother Jim: Yes he did.

Brother Jim: And at the end of the day, Christ died on that cross for

Brother Jim: all our sins, all of our sins.

Brother Jim: Let me rephrase that again.

Brother Jim: Let me re go back to that one.

Brother Jim: God does not take pleasure in anyone being lost.

Brother Jim: Now, Second Peter three nine

Brother Jim: tells us he is patient, not

Brother Jim: wanting anyone to perish, but

Brother Jim: everyone to come and come to

Brother Jim: repentance.

Brother Jim: And David, I hate to say it, you don't hear that word a lot.

David: Do you know you really don't.

Brother Jim: Pastors and well, not all, but it's it seems to have been lost

Brother Jim: in the shuffle.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Cuz you gotta admit you've done wrong, right?

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: I don't like to admit I've done wrong.

Brother Jim: Do you like to admit you've done wrong?

Brother Jim: Their listeners think about it.

Brother Jim: It's tough to swallow your pride and say, yeah, I messed up.

Brother Jim: The sins not okay, but

Brother Jim: recognizing it and asking for

Brother Jim: forgiveness.

Brother Jim: That's the start right there.

Brother Jim: That is a start.

Brother Jim: God gave us a mind and God gave us a conscience.

David: True he.

Brother Jim: Did. We all know right from wrong, but we choose.

Brother Jim: And that is the key word.

Brother Jim: We choose to keep on doing what we're doing.

Brother Jim: Going to church.

Brother Jim: Is that going to correct everything?

Brother Jim: David?

Brother Jim: No, no, but I pray, David, I pray every day.

Brother Jim: Is that going to correct everything?

David: It can help.

Brother Jim: But it can help.

Brother Jim: But no, no. How many Christians out there today?

Brother Jim: And maybe you're one of them.

Brother Jim: And brother, I used to be one.

Brother Jim: You ride the fence, you got one leg, one leg in the church in

Brother Jim: God per se.

Brother Jim: But that other leg is just right in the world.

Brother Jim: And I've been saying it, and I'm going to keep on saying it.

Brother Jim: How many people take their hat

Brother Jim: off when they leave on a Sunday

Brother Jim: morning?

Brother Jim: They put it on a nice little hat rack and they go into the world.

Brother Jim: And when they come in Sunday

Brother Jim: morning, ooh, I got my Christian

Brother Jim: hat on.

Brother Jim: True.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: True. How many people out there don't even open their Bible?

Brother Jim: You know, a thing that bugs me.

Brother Jim: David just burns my backside.

Brother Jim: And I used to be one.

Brother Jim: How can you come to church without your Bible?

Brother Jim: MM. David, I could throw a bunch of hokey pokey up there.

Brother Jim: How many people would actually

Brother Jim: say, whoa, Jim, what are you

Brother Jim: saying?

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Ah!

Brother Jim: They just keep on going along.

Brother Jim: Sorry, but, you know, or if I had my phone.

Brother Jim: Oh. I'm following.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You're getting a high score on Candy crush.

Brother Jim: Come on, come on again.

Brother Jim: Get in your.

Brother Jim: Get in the word.

Brother Jim: Pray.

Brother Jim: Ask God to correct you.

Brother Jim: But do you really want corrected?

Brother Jim: Life and death?

Brother Jim: It's on the line.

Brother Jim: Hell is not created because God is cruel.

Brother Jim: It exists because God is just.

Brother Jim: God respects human choice, people can reject his grace.

Brother Jim: In Matthew twenty five, Jesus says, hell was prepared for the

Brother Jim: devil and his angels.

Brother Jim: It was never God's desire for

Brother Jim: people, but it becomes the

Brother Jim: destination for those who reject

Brother Jim: him.

Brother Jim: Because why sin entered the world.

Brother Jim: Adam and Eve on here on earth.

Brother Jim: They chose.

Brother Jim: They chose to rebel, not to obey God's simple command don't eat

Brother Jim: from this tree, don't eat.

Brother Jim: And what do they do?

Brother Jim: It's like buffet time at the.

David: Golden Corral or whatever.

Brother Jim: Corral. That's right.

Brother Jim: Come on.

Brother Jim: We messed up.

Brother Jim: We did.

Brother Jim: And we still mess up.

Brother Jim: Hell is final and serious.

Brother Jim: Matthew twenty five forty six says, then we.

Brother Jim: They will go away to eternal

Brother Jim: punishment, but the righteous to

Brother Jim: eternal life.

Brother Jim: Now.

Brother Jim: David, would you choose David

Brother Jim: behind door one we have eternal

Brother Jim: punishment.

Brother Jim: Or door number two, we have eternal life.

David: I mean, you'd have to probably be pretty messed up in the head

David: to pick the eternal punishment one, I would think.

Brother Jim: Wait a minute.

Brother Jim: Let me spin the bottle here.

Brother Jim: The spin, the.

Brother Jim: But we do it.

Brother Jim: We choose to do it.

Brother Jim: It's like playing Russian roulette.

Brother Jim: Yeah, never played it.

Brother Jim: But you know what your odds are?

Brother Jim: They're not good.

David: Because we're after that instant gratification.

David: We're not looking at the we're

David: not looking at the future

David: ramifications.

Brother Jim: Again, what we just said live now.

Brother Jim: That's what the world promotes.

David: Microwave society.

Brother Jim: There you go.

Brother Jim: Fast food Christianity.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Uh, can you supersize that order, please?

Brother Jim: And it's gone within minutes.

Brother Jim: Jesus urges strong language.

Brother Jim: Eternal.

Brother Jim: Excuse me, he urges, but he uses strong language.

Brother Jim: Eternal punishment.

Brother Jim: From Matthew twenty five forty six we just read.

Brother Jim: This tells us that hell is not temporary or reversible.

Brother Jim: Temporary.

Brother Jim: It's not temporary and it's not reversible.

Brother Jim: That is why the gospel is so urgent.

Brother Jim: That is why eternity is not something.

Brother Jim: We just figure it out later as we go.

Brother Jim: Do you know what tomorrow holds, David?

David: Nope. I mean, I think I do, but you never know.

David: Yep.

Brother Jim: Oh. How many live?

Brother Jim: I'll live off of our day calendar.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You don't know what tomorrow brings.

Brother Jim: I don't know what tonight brings.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Again, we have hopes.

Brother Jim: We have plans.

Brother Jim: But there's no guarantee.

Brother Jim: I hate to tell you, David.

Brother Jim: One day you'll take your last breath.

Brother Jim: Just like me.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: We don't know when that day will come.

Brother Jim: But a day of reckoning.

Brother Jim: You got two shots.

Brother Jim: Door one or door two?

Brother Jim: Yep.

David: There was a forty three year old just down the road here.

David: There.

David: He took his last breath.

David: Really?

David: Yeah, just.

David: Just down over the hill here.

David: Really?

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Well, look up the obituaries.

Brother Jim: Local obituaries.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: How many people?

Brother Jim: How many people made the right choice?

Brother Jim: They chose God.

Brother Jim: They chose eternity with God versus eternity without God.

Brother Jim: Our response to Christ in this life matters forever.

Brother Jim: Forever.

Brother Jim: The warning of hell points us to Jesus.

Brother Jim: The message of hell is not meant

Brother Jim: to drive you away in fear not

Brother Jim: to.

Brother Jim: It's not the boogeyman.

Brother Jim: It's meant to drive us to Christ.

Brother Jim: Thought just came into my mind.

Brother Jim: David, if you've ever dealt with cows.

Brother Jim: Cows are dumb animals.

Brother Jim: I'm sorry.

Brother Jim: They are.

Brother Jim: I've had them, I attempted, and I gave up.

David: At least they're delicious.

Brother Jim: They are delicious.

Brother Jim: But you break out a feed bucket.

Brother Jim: Woo!

Brother Jim: They become your best friend.

Brother Jim: And all they are interested in is in is in that grain.

Brother Jim: You got in a bucket.

Brother Jim: You can take them anywhere.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Is that not what the devil is doing today?

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: I don't have a bucket here

Brother Jim: handy, but pretend this is a

Brother Jim: grain bucket.

Brother Jim: Suki.

Brother Jim: Suki, come on now.

Brother Jim: Come on girl.

Brother Jim: And away they follow.

Brother Jim: Now, in the same sense, God has done the same thing.

Brother Jim: Instead of grain, instead of the

Brother Jim: pleasures of the world, he gave

Brother Jim: us Christ.

Brother Jim: Yeah, he gave us his word.

Brother Jim: And when I say word, he gave us the word here in the Bible.

Brother Jim: But he gave us his word as well.

Brother Jim: He gave us the truth.

Brother Jim: Jesus came to rescue us from sin and his eternal consequences.

Brother Jim: On the cross.

Brother Jim: He bore judgment so that we could receive mercy.

Brother Jim: And again, John three sixteen makes it clear whoever believes

Brother Jim: they're not going to perish but have eternal life.

Brother Jim: So, my friends, what's your thoughts?

Brother Jim: Have you ever really thought about hell, people?

Brother Jim: Oh, brother Jim, I'm living in hell now.

Brother Jim: I'm going.

Brother Jim: Hey, in this life, yeah.

Brother Jim: I've been through hell and back.

Brother Jim: But baby, baby, baby, it is nothing.

Brother Jim: What you're going to face if you don't choose Jesus Christ as

Brother Jim: your Lord and Savior.

Brother Jim: Hell is again.

Brother Jim: Separation from God.

Brother Jim: Let me tell you this.

Brother Jim: Hell is the result of rejecting his grace, and hell is a

Brother Jim: reminder that eternity is too important to ignore.

Brother Jim: But the good news.

Brother Jim: Oh, thank you Lord, for this.

Brother Jim: No one has to go there.

Brother Jim: Jesus Christ offers you.

Brother Jim: He offers me.

Brother Jim: He has offered everybody

Brother Jim: salvation, forgiveness, and

Brother Jim: eternal life to all who turn to

Brother Jim: him.

Brother Jim: Today, today, today, as the Lord

Brother Jim: is the day that the Lord has

Brother Jim: made and the invitation still

Brother Jim: stands.

Brother Jim: Choose Christ and choose life.

Brother Jim: If not who?

Brother Jim: I don't even want to think about it.

Brother Jim: What you will go through.

Brother Jim: What your family will go through.

Brother Jim: If you care, if you love.

Brother Jim: What's it hurt to tell somebody about Jesus?

Brother Jim: What's it hurt to tell what Jesus did in your life?

Brother Jim: Well, my friends, that just about does it for this.

Brother Jim: Thursday, May fourteenth.

Brother Jim: Mr. David, my friend, any closing thoughts?

Brother Jim: Comments?

David: Just hope the ladies and

David: gentlemen, you know, take

David: everything that's said here to

David: heart.

David: There.

David: There is a heaven to gain and a hell to shun.

David: So yeah, tread carefully.

Brother Jim: You know, David and I, we're doing a late night episode.

Brother Jim: Got to be honest with you.

Brother Jim: Because of Mother's Day coming up, we didn't want to take away.

Brother Jim: And thank goodness David reminded me because I had my

Brother Jim: days mixed up.

Brother Jim: But again, it's quarter after eleven here on a Thursday night.

Brother Jim: Be honest with you, David.

Brother Jim: I'm only five minutes away, but David has to drive, what,

Brother Jim: fifteen, twenty minutes?

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: He made a choice to come out here and help.

Brother Jim: While he runs the whole thing.

Brother Jim: He made a choice and he's done that many times.

Brother Jim: Made a choice.

Brother Jim: And trust me, tonight I'd rather be in bed right now.

Brother Jim: But you know what?

Brother Jim: What is more important, David?

Brother Jim: And again, people might think

Brother Jim: you guys are just, you know, off

Brother Jim: your rocker a little bit, but

Brother Jim: man, we've got better things to

Brother Jim: do.

Brother Jim: But we see the importance of this.

Brother Jim: So we choose we choose to try to

Brother Jim: bring you at least something to

Brother Jim: chew on this week, to think

Brother Jim: about it.

Brother Jim: We're not looking for any.

Brother Jim: I doubt we'll ever make the red carpet.

Brother Jim: I doubt we'll ever be.

Brother Jim: Uh, you know what you see on reels all the time.

David: We're probably never going to get a YouTube play button

David: hanging on the wall in here.

Brother Jim: There you go.

Brother Jim: But you know what?

Brother Jim: We don't care.

Brother Jim: We're not in it to make money.

Brother Jim: We're not getting any money.

Brother Jim: We're not in it to get our faces out and about.

Brother Jim: We're we're doing this because we care.

Brother Jim: Because we care about you.

Brother Jim: Plain and simple.

Brother Jim: That's all it is.

Brother Jim: Now we have some fun doing this.

David: Absolutely.

Brother Jim: And again, we got to get, uh, after, uh.

Brother Jim: Oh, what?

Brother Jim: What would that be called?

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: Uh, my mind just went blank, uh, recording the after show.

David: Yeah. Behind the scenes or whatever.

Brother Jim: Yes. Behind the scenes.

Brother Jim: But we're doing it.

Brother Jim: Having fun.

Brother Jim: We're joyful.

Brother Jim: We make a loud noise, whether you like it or not.

Brother Jim: Yeah, I know the jokes aren't the greatest.

Brother Jim: The face is definitely not that good to look at, but we care.

Brother Jim: My friends, we care.

Brother Jim: And my question is to you.

Brother Jim: Do you care?

Brother Jim: Maybe you are.

Brother Jim: And I pray you are.

Brother Jim: I pray you are saved.

Brother Jim: You're ready to go.

Brother Jim: But what are you doing with that?

Brother Jim: What are you doing with that?

Brother Jim: Are you a big old hog keeping it to yourself?

Brother Jim: Are you out there telling people about Jesus?

Brother Jim: Are you out there being kind,

Brother Jim: showing compassion, emulating

Brother Jim: Jesus Christ.

Brother Jim: Good question for you, our friends.

Brother Jim: As we close, please remember you.

Brother Jim: Yes, you.

Brother Jim: You have meaning.

Brother Jim: And even the people maybe you don't like.

Brother Jim: They have meaning.

Brother Jim: They have value just like you.

Brother Jim: And most of all, they are loved just like you.

Brother Jim: May God continue to bless you just as well.

Brother Jim: May you and I continue to thank our Lord above for our blessings

Brother Jim: each and every day.

Brother Jim: And if we meet again, well then

Brother Jim: we're going to smile and

Brother Jim: rejoice.

Brother Jim: And I hope to see you in heaven.

Brother Jim: David hopes to see you in heaven.

Brother Jim: And if not, then this parting was well made.

Brother Jim: Happy trails to you until we meet again.

Brother Jim: Thank you for joining myself here on Bible Bibs in prayer.

Brother Jim: This is the big guy, Brother Jim.

Brother Jim: Out.
