Brother Jim: As David explained the other day.

Brother Jim: On Facebook, we had some

Brother Jim: technical difficulties with our

Brother Jim: sound.

Brother Jim: We moved over to the new room and, uh, you know, like

Brother Jim: anything, you got some little bugs to figure out.

Brother Jim: So, uh, you're getting a late

Brother Jim: night edition special, so hang

Brother Jim: on.

Brother Jim: I got my Bigfoot hat on tonight because you never know.

Brother Jim: David.

David: That's right.

David: It's after dark.

Brother Jim: It's after dark.

David: He could come roaming in here.

Brother Jim: Wouldn't that be a great guest to have?

Brother Jim: Man, we might hit the late night show syndicate with that one.

David: We might have to open some windows.

Brother Jim: There we go.

Brother Jim: Yeah, but hey, welcome.

Brother Jim: We are back this Tuesday, March tenth.

Brother Jim: And it is time, my friends.

Brother Jim: Time for Bible bibs and a prayer.

Brother Jim: So instead of grabbing that cup of coffee and a little bit of

Brother Jim: jet fuel, some turbo for your Tuesday morning, how about we

Brother Jim: head out to the fridge and get a late night snack?

Brother Jim: Ah, there's a good one.

Brother Jim: David.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: What do we eat for the late night snacks?

Brother Jim: Ah.

David: Well, at my house, we just had a

David: birthday, so we're going through

David: birthday cake.

David: That's.

David: I've been getting the birthday cake late at night.

Brother Jim: Yes. Birthday cakes always.

Brother Jim: You know, we had a family get together Sunday night and my mom

Brother Jim: made a chocolate cake and her chocolate cakes are good.

Brother Jim: And there was one piece left and

Brother Jim: I came in tonight thinking, oh,

Brother Jim: you know, I'm gonna finish that

Brother Jim: off.

Brother Jim: Well guess what?

Brother Jim: It was gone.

Brother Jim: It was gone.

Brother Jim: I was there and smell your breath.

Brother Jim: AM I gonna smell cake?

Brother Jim: And she's like, nope, I already washed it down.

Brother Jim: But hey, go grab yourself

Brother Jim: something to chew on or snack

Brother Jim: on.

Brother Jim: Or maybe you'll be watching this in the morning.

Brother Jim: Whatever floats your boat.

Brother Jim: Let's get her done, shall we?

Brother Jim: And, uh, you know, again, uh, we thank you for your patience.

Brother Jim: Uh, nothing ever goes according to plan.

Brother Jim: We ran into some, uh, as I said

Brother Jim: earlier, when we taped this the

Brother Jim: first time.

Brother Jim: It is amazing, David, what a church can hoard.

Brother Jim: Oh, yeah.

Brother Jim: Oh my goodness.

Brother Jim: And, uh, if you see behind me here, we got thirteen foot.

Brother Jim: We don't know what to do with.

David: If anybody wants it, come get it.

Brother Jim: Yeah, but that's the key word.

Brother Jim: You gotta come get it and figure out how to dismantle this bad

Brother Jim: boy and get it out the door.

Brother Jim: So, uh.

Brother Jim: But yeah, we're coming along.

Brother Jim: Still not quite there yet, but we gotta still.

Brother Jim: We've been scoping this out.

Brother Jim: Got some good ideas.

Brother Jim: It's just a matter of getting

Brother Jim: everything out of here so we can

Brother Jim: put our creative process to

Brother Jim: finish out.

Brother Jim: Bible bibs and a prayer.

Brother Jim: But, hey, just to get us going here.

Brother Jim: You know, David, I went to the aquarium this weekend, but I

Brother Jim: didn't stay too long.

Brother Jim: There's something fishy about that place.

Brother Jim: So good morning, good evening, good afternoon friends.

Brother Jim: Good morning, good morning.

Brother Jim: And you know, with the time

Brother Jim: differences, who knows what time

Brother Jim: they're listening.

David: I'm still messed up from that, I know.

Brother Jim: Why do we do it?

Brother Jim: Why do we.

David: Do?

David: I don't know.

Brother Jim: Ah. But hey, welcome to the show.

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

Brother Jim: And I said, this is late night.

Brother Jim: It's after ten.

Brother Jim: So who knows what's going to be

Brother Jim: coming out of our mouths

Brother Jim: tonight.

Brother Jim: But you know what?

Brother Jim: Let's get to the good stuff first and all.

Brother Jim: Been waiting for.

Brother Jim: What's up everybody?

Brother Jim: Now, if you thought that intro was good, it wasn't that great.

Brother Jim: Just wait though.

Brother Jim: This is where it even gets better.

Brother Jim: Because if I, like I've said in the past, every mediocre host

Brother Jim: and I don't know if I make that needs a great co-host.

Brother Jim: And lucky got a great one in this man.

Brother Jim: He's a man among men.

Brother Jim: A face that only a mother could love.

Brother Jim: The one Mr. David Keener.

Brother Jim: Hey.

Brother Jim: And plus, he's one of my best friends.

Brother Jim: Good evening David.

David: Good evening.

David: I am probably the best co-host in this building.

Brother Jim: So you know what?

David: Oh.

Brother Jim: When we were.

Speaker 4: In the.

Brother Jim: Afternoon after we taped the first two episodes.

Brother Jim: We've got a great idea coming up.

Brother Jim: And if you are a major league fan, are might be some surprises

Brother Jim: in you because David does a great Bob Uecker imitation, let

Brother Jim: me tell you.

David: I don't know about great, but it's serviceable.

Brother Jim: It's definitely doable.

Brother Jim: But, uh, how is life in Carterville once again?

David: It's, uh.

David: It's good.

David: You know, the weather's been nice the last couple of days.

David: We did some, uh, we did some

David: grilling out on the, uh,

David: Blackstone.

David: I did smash burgers.

David: What was that?

David: Sunday night?

David: I remember one day it was.

David: Oh, man, smash burgers are so good on that thing.

David: And then grilled cheese tonight.

David: Oh, yeah.

Brother Jim: Yeah, I've been sporting a barbecue, too.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Now, unfortunately, uh, when I was going to barbecue the other

Brother Jim: day, I had some chicken.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Well, last week I got sick and I

Brother Jim: defrosted it, put it in a

Brother Jim: refrigerator.

Brother Jim: Right.

Brother Jim: Thought it was still going to be okay.

Brother Jim: Not so much.

Brother Jim: Opened up a pan or a package of chicken and funky.

David: Yeah, I guess.

Brother Jim: Can you get this out of the house, please?

Brother Jim: I'm like, absolutely.

Brother Jim: Uh, but you mentioned.

Brother Jim: Yeah, you got hit hard.

David: Yeah. We got we have one in

David: February and we have two in

David: March.

David: So I had, uh, one the first part of February.

David: We had one last week.

David: And then, at the end of the month we've got a third one.

David: So I've got a ten year old, a five year old and a soon to be

David: three year old.

David: Woo!

Brother Jim: So let's hear it for the man.

Brother Jim: More or less your wife though.

Brother Jim: That's probably the one that really needs the applause.

David: She's just yeah I don't I don't know how she does it.

Brother Jim: Yeah. I we stopped over, uh, the other day to visit some friends

Brother Jim: here from church and, uh, you know who I'm talking about.

Brother Jim: They got four little ones.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And they're down on the farm.

Brother Jim: I mean, they are literally on the farm, and we stopped to see

Brother Jim: their baby goats and chickens and everything else they've got.

Brother Jim: And I mean, does it with four little ones trying to take care

Brother Jim: of the animals.

Brother Jim: And these are farm kids running around barefoot, getting in the

Brother Jim: crick, splashing in the mud.

Brother Jim: I mean, climbing up everywhere.

Brother Jim: Oh my goodness.

Brother Jim: Uh, I don't know if they watch or not, but I have to tell her.

Brother Jim: Hey, we did a shout out to you.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Yes.

Brother Jim: But, uh, wow, I moms salute to the moms.

David: Absolutely.

Brother Jim: Yes. But, uh.

Brother Jim: Yeah, we're here with Miss Ida Lee.

Brother Jim: That is the official name of our pig now.

Brother Jim: Miss Ida Lee, uh, one of our number one fans, Ida Walker.

Brother Jim: Hey, and speaking of number one fans.

Brother Jim: Peg Abraham and Ida Walker.

Brother Jim: Good.

Brother Jim: Ida said you need to name that piggy Ida Lee.

Brother Jim: And I'm like, that is a great name for a pig.

David: So yeah.

Brother Jim: That works.

Brother Jim: Yeah. And speaking of that farm

Brother Jim: thing, David, uh, took my mom

Brother Jim: over and she used to have goats

Brother Jim: when?

Brother Jim: Way back.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Big mistake holding that baby.

Brother Jim: One of them little baby goats.

Brother Jim: I mean, they are cute baby goats.

Brother Jim: And then Carrie gets on the bandwagon.

Brother Jim: We need one.

David: Oh, no.

Brother Jim: So stupid.

Brother Jim: Me. I go down to the barn and I'm looking around.

Brother Jim: I'm like, yeah, it's doable because I want to get a couple

Brother Jim: pigs for our grandson, Dawson.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You know, plus, at the end of

Brother Jim: the end of the growing season,

Brother Jim: we got bacon, bacon and pork

Brother Jim: chops.

Brother Jim: But, uh, I'm thinking, what am I doing to myself?

Brother Jim: I don't have time now, but

Brother Jim: because, you know, it's like

Brother Jim: anything, you want to make the

Brother Jim: family happy.

Brother Jim: So you go ahead and.

Brother Jim: All right, we'll do it.

Brother Jim: And then who's the one that usually takes care of you?

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: So, uh, I don't know.

Brother Jim: I'm still wanting to beat.

David: Well, as a as a city boy, I understand.

David: What what purpose does a goat serve?

David: Like you can't really get in.

David: Do people buy goats?

David: I mean.

Brother Jim: Oh, yeah.

David: They're they're really.

Brother Jim: Decent. Yeah. Big. Now, like my

Brother Jim: father in law, he is allergic to

Brother Jim: milk.

Brother Jim: He's not lactose intolerant.

Brother Jim: He's actually allergic to milk.

Brother Jim: So he has to really be cautious of.

Brother Jim: But you know, goat milk pizza, the cheese goat.

Brother Jim: And I've yet to bring myself as long as there's a DQ here, ten

Brother Jim: minutes away from me.

Brother Jim: You're good.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: But I will do a shout out here.

Brother Jim: Uh, a friend of mine, I met her here a couple years ago to craft

Brother Jim: show she does goat soap.

David: I've heard of that.

Brother Jim: I tell you, David, it is the best soap you'll ever use.

Brother Jim: And she does manly smells.

Brother Jim: Manly.

Brother Jim: Yeah, but I mean it.

Brother Jim: I know I'm sounding a little foo

Brother Jim: foo here, but, dude, it actually

Brother Jim: makes you feel clean without

Brother Jim: that residue.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You know.

Brother Jim: So, yeah, try some goat soap sometime.

Brother Jim: But, uh, now, of course, people eat goat, too.

David: Uh, I'm gonna pass on that one.

David: Probably.

Brother Jim: I try, I try maybe.

Brother Jim: Well, I can't say that if we get

Brother Jim: some goats, I'd be buried

Brother Jim: somewhere.

Brother Jim: If that even crossed my mind.

Brother Jim: I'm putting one on a spit, so.

Brother Jim: Ah, I tell you, we're saluting the moms.

Brother Jim: But the dads, we never win.

Speaker 4: No.

Brother Jim: We never win.

Brother Jim: I say no to a dog.

Brother Jim: Now we got two, you know.

Brother Jim: You know who wears the pants in the Manbeck household?

Brother Jim: All right.

Brother Jim: Anything else going on?

Brother Jim: How's the week going?

David: Week's going good so far.

David: Like I said, enjoying the weather, so.

David: Oh, yeah.

David: Gotta.

David: I gotta travel up to Cleveland

David: tomorrow for work, so we'll

David: hopefully.

David: hopefully they're still good up there.

David: But yeah, we'll see.

Brother Jim: We got some rain or something coming.

David: Yeah, yeah.

Brother Jim: Then next week we're down in the thirties not the and I'm praying

Brother Jim: they're wrong on that.

Brother Jim: You know it's Ohio.

Brother Jim: You never know.

Brother Jim: But yeah, it's just but we still got so much mud right now.

Brother Jim: I've been moving some dirt and it's.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: So but, uh, I did, uh, Monday

Brother Jim: morning, got two injections in

Brother Jim: my back and I'll give a shout

Brother Jim: out.

Brother Jim: I'm probably gonna get in

Brother Jim: trouble for this, but Union

Brother Jim: hospital, let's just say you

Brother Jim: roll the dice like any hospital,

Brother Jim: but, uh, I went to a new, uh,

Brother Jim: pain management.

Brother Jim: He's a spinal doctor.

David: Okay.

Brother Jim: Dude, I tell you what.

Brother Jim: I walked in now, the places I went before you go in, you drop

Brother Jim: your pants halfway, take your shirt off, and you're on the.

Brother Jim: You're out of there in twenty minutes.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: I had to put the nightgown on the yellow booties.

Brother Jim: They ran a class one operation, I tell you.

David: There you.

Brother Jim: Go. And then, uh, He's like, all right, let's do this.

Brother Jim: And he starts playing.

Brother Jim: Here comes the rooster.

Brother Jim: He's got his own.

Brother Jim: And then we go to, uh oh, uh, David Allan Coe.

Brother Jim: And I'm like, dude, you got a variety of songs.

Brother Jim: He's like, I like them all.

Brother Jim: No wonder said, yeah, he'll play

Brother Jim: Christmas songs throughout the

Brother Jim: years.

David: There you.

Brother Jim: Go. But I like that a doctor's got some taste.

Brother Jim: And, you know, he's he's cool.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: So. And I can never remember his name, so.

Brother Jim: But, uh, he's in the four

Brother Jim: hundred block there behind Union

Brother Jim: Hospital.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: But yeah, it wasn't so bad.

David: The, uh, the chiropractor that I go to, they have, they have in

David: office music and, and depending on the day of the week, they

David: have specific, that's the genre they play for.

David: Yeah.

David: So I always go on Wednesdays

David: because Wednesdays are eighties

David: day.

David: Yes.

Brother Jim: So eighties baby.

Brother Jim: Yes. That's a shout out to Dave.

Brother Jim: They're playing Boys Are Back in town.

Brother Jim: We thought that was appropriate.

Brother Jim: You know.

Speaker 4: Uh.

Brother Jim: I remember from Navy Seals

Brother Jim: Charlie Sheen way back in the

Brother Jim: day.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Probably one of the first Navy

Brother Jim: Seal movies ever come out in the

Brother Jim: eighties.

Brother Jim: And they were playing that the boys are back in town.

Brother Jim: so, uh.

Brother Jim: But hey, let's get rolling.

Brother Jim: Let us remember.

Brother Jim: Well, we got another sunrise.

Brother Jim: Another sunset, wherever you're at.

Brother Jim: But it's a chance to shine.

Brother Jim: A chance to show the world and everyone around you.

Brother Jim: That you, ladies and gentlemen, are one special person.

Brother Jim: And I tell you what, David, we've been blessed.

Brother Jim: You know, we are so blessed.

Brother Jim: And I pray we take that into consideration each day when we

Brother Jim: hear that alarm clock and have to roll out of bed.

Brother Jim: Hey, it's still we are a blessed people, a blessed nation.

Brother Jim: And you know what?

Brother Jim: We're alive.

Brother Jim: And for many of us, almost healthy.

Brother Jim: And even with the aches and pains, we're still blessed.

Brother Jim: You are still blessed.

Brother Jim: I am still blessed.

Brother Jim: So come on and join Mr. David and I as we say.

Brother Jim: Thank you, Lord, for another day or another day that's coming to

Brother Jim: an end as you lay your little heads down on that pillow.

Brother Jim: Uh, and hey, you know what?

Brother Jim: Wherever you're at, tomorrow

Brother Jim: will be another day of

Brother Jim: opportunity.

Brother Jim: Just waiting for you and I to go make our mark.

Brother Jim: And you know what?

Brother Jim: As, uh, members of the kingdom.

Brother Jim: And that way that includes everybody here.

Brother Jim: If you belong to Jesus, you're a member of the kingdom, and we've

Brother Jim: got work to do.

Brother Jim: My friends, because look around you.

Brother Jim: Look around.

Brother Jim: Things are getting pretty, uh, pretty rough in this world.

Brother Jim: Uh, so we've definitely got work to do to bring the gospel, to

Brother Jim: spread the gospel, to let people know what Jesus can do in their

Brother Jim: life, especially the lost, the broken, the ones who are hanging

Brother Jim: on, hanging on by a thread.

Brother Jim: And you know what?

Brother Jim: Just remember, every morning is a beautiful morning.

Brother Jim: Find that good and forget the bad.

Brother Jim: Here we go.

Brother Jim: Poo bank shot.

Brother Jim: Spit it out.

Brother Jim: Hey, you know we've all got problems, David.

Brother Jim: You got.

David: It?

Brother Jim: Yeah. Did bills today?

Brother Jim: Yeah. Did bills.

Brother Jim: And, uh, you know, and it's that time of the year.

David: Deductibles starting over.

Brother Jim: You just pay off the last from last year's.

Brother Jim: You're finally square and then.

David: Starting over again.

Brother Jim: Starting over again.

Brother Jim: Yep. So, uh.

Brother Jim: But yeah, with me, I get this out of the way.

Brother Jim: I think I might get a facelift, liposuction, maybe even a little

Brother Jim: bit of hair implants.

David: We won't recognize you.

Brother Jim: Yeah, I say all that, but it

Brother Jim: ain't going to happen because

Brother Jim: I'm sure the insurance would

Brother Jim: say.

Brother Jim: I don't think so.

Brother Jim: So, uh.

Brother Jim: But, hey, you know what?

Brother Jim: Just remember, you're not alone.

Brother Jim: Why?

Brother Jim: I am glad you asked.

Brother Jim: Because Jesus and Jesus alone.

Brother Jim: Let's rejoice.

Brother Jim: Let us rejoice that we got him.

Brother Jim: And if you don't have him, I'm going to ask you what I asked my

Brother Jim: congregation Sunday morning.

Brother Jim: Why not?

Brother Jim: Why not?

Brother Jim: The best thing you can do in your life is at least start a

Brother Jim: conversation with the man.

Brother Jim: Better yet, get right here in his word.

Brother Jim: You got questions?

Brother Jim: He's got answers.

Brother Jim: And it's all right here.

Brother Jim: Now, it might not be something you want to hear, but by golly,

Brother Jim: it'll set you straight.

Brother Jim: And if it can set me straight, well.

Brother Jim: transformation.

Brother Jim: My friend's transformation.

Brother Jim: That's the key word you asked for.

Brother Jim: Oxford Church, that's one of my

Brother Jim: favorite words is

Brother Jim: transformation.

Brother Jim: It just don't start all at once.

Brother Jim: It's a process.

Brother Jim: It's a journey.

Brother Jim: But hey, remember when you look

Brother Jim: in that mirror tonight before

Brother Jim: you go to bed or tomorrow

Brother Jim: morning, remember you are

Brother Jim: beautiful and you matter in this

Brother Jim: world.

Brother Jim: And most of all, oh my goodness.

Brother Jim: Me and Ida Lee are saying, say it, girl.

Brother Jim: Say it.

Brother Jim: That's it, that's it.

Brother Jim: You are loved.

Brother Jim: Now we've been talking about the woes of the Pharisees.

Brother Jim: Had a series on this.

Brother Jim: We're going to finish up this Sunday.

Brother Jim: But, uh, you know about those good old Pharisees, those

Brother Jim: leaders back in the day?

Brother Jim: Oh, they were smart people, weren't they, David?

Brother Jim: They knew the law.

Brother Jim: They knew it to a T, but they didn't act on it.

Brother Jim: And the question is, the title

Brother Jim: of the series has been, are

Brother Jim: there Pharisees in the modern

Brother Jim: day church?

Brother Jim: And.

Brother Jim: Oh, Brother Jim believed so, because how many self-righteous

Brother Jim: hypocrites does the church have?

Brother Jim: Best lines ever.

Brother Jim: I ain't coming to church.

Brother Jim: You're a bunch of hypocrites.

Brother Jim: And his old pastor Bob would say, come on in.

Brother Jim: There's room at the pew at the end of the pew for one more.

Brother Jim: But God is not impressed by a clean appearance.

Brother Jim: If the heart is unclean.

Brother Jim: Now did you hear that, my friends?

Brother Jim: God is not impressed by a clean appearance.

Brother Jim: If the heart is unclean, true holiness begins within.

Brother Jim: Now we were talking in this last Sunday.

Brother Jim: I used an example of a cup I had up on the PowerPoint here.

Brother Jim: But now this cup.

Brother Jim: She's clean as a whistle, but isn't really the inside.

Brother Jim: What matters now, if I was to offer my friend David a drink

Brother Jim: here and this thing had about five years of coffee remains and

Brother Jim: little tobacco juice.

Brother Jim: I'm not saying that, but you know what I mean.

Brother Jim: Funk.

Brother Jim: That's the word I used.

Brother Jim: If it was full of funk and I

Brother Jim: offered, you offered David a

Brother Jim: drink, I'm guessing you're going

Brother Jim: to pass.

David: Got that right.

Brother Jim: Yeah, I was saying, I remember

Brother Jim: my grandpa, he had a style

Brother Jim: pottery.

Brother Jim: He worked at style pottery.

Brother Jim: Most of the Harrison County people did back in the day.

Brother Jim: Them style pottery, coffee cups.

Brother Jim: And I don't think he cleaned it too much on the inside.

Brother Jim: I think it gave it a flavor.

Brother Jim: I don't know if my grandma's seasoning the.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: But, uh, you know, you think

Brother Jim: about this, uh, and I, I wore

Brother Jim: bibs Sunday.

Brother Jim: Check it out because how easy we judge with our eyes.

Brother Jim: And, you know, around here, you

Brother Jim: can get away with bibs and all

Brother Jim: that.

Brother Jim: That's kind of a more rural area setting.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: But you go up north.

Brother Jim: Well, you're going to Cleveland tomorrow.

Brother Jim: You walk in in a pair of bibs

Brother Jim: and a white t shirt wearing

Brother Jim: boots.

David: It's like a fly.

Brother Jim: They might give you the stink eye a little bit.

Brother Jim: But again, it's no different

Brother Jim: with a pastor or a leader of a

Brother Jim: church or a corporation, uh, a

Brother Jim: CEO.

Brother Jim: You.

Brother Jim: You can walk in with corporation.

Brother Jim: Let me jump right there.

Brother Jim: I have found David throughout my career.

Brother Jim: A lot of times.

Brother Jim: Merit doesn't get you there.

Brother Jim: It's what comes out of the mouth and how good you look.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Now a pastor, I'm going to pick on pastors.

Brother Jim: You can come in in the three piece suit with your bling

Brother Jim: bling, your Rolex.

Brother Jim: All that and be as dirty inside.

Brother Jim: I mean, just the worst, the worst.

Brother Jim: The funk, you know?

Brother Jim: What good does that do?

Brother Jim: And what good does that do?

Brother Jim: The church.

Brother Jim: Humility.

Brother Jim: Check.

Brother Jim: Look in the mirror, my friends.

Brother Jim: You can put on a dog and pony show.

Brother Jim: But on the inside, what's going on?

Brother Jim: And that is what matters to God.

Brother Jim: Uh, and I'm afraid, David, we

Brother Jim: got a lot of that in the, in the

Brother Jim: church today.

Brother Jim: And I think we got a lot of that in our country.

Brother Jim: Uh, what does it truly mean to give your life to Christ.

Brother Jim: I think that's a key.

Brother Jim: You know, because you can say you have.

Brother Jim: But if there's no transformation.

Brother Jim: Oh, I believe in God.

Brother Jim: Oh, are you really now you're saying.

Brother Jim: Probably now, Brother Jim, you shouldn't judge.

Brother Jim: It's not judgment, it's concern, my friends.

Brother Jim: It's love.

Brother Jim: Because we're all going to have a judgment day, are we not?

Brother Jim: Yeah, and everything's going to be revealed.

Brother Jim: So my question is, are you truly does your heart did you repent

Brother Jim: of your sin?

Brother Jim: And is the Holy Spirit?

Brother Jim: And I love that the Holy Spirit, is he working in your life to

Brother Jim: transform the old to the new?

Brother Jim: And you know, David, I think

Brother Jim: that's a R. Could that be a

Brother Jim: major question that we're afraid

Brother Jim: to ask?

Brother Jim: Because should you not see transformation in a person's

Brother Jim: life, who says they've given their life to Jesus Christ?

David: Yeah. You should.

Brother Jim: They've repented.

Brother Jim: I mean, you're allowing him to

Brother Jim: come in, so he's going to

Brother Jim: automatically start overhauling,

Brother Jim: right?

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Taking out the garbage like we're trying to do here, taking

Brother Jim: out the garbage to make new.

Brother Jim: And I really I don't know, that's been on my heart a lot

Brother Jim: lately because you see it more and more special social, social

Brother Jim: media, all these celebrities who are claiming this.

Brother Jim: And I want to believe I really do.

Brother Jim: But is there transformation in their life?

Brother Jim: Some heavy metal bands I'm not going to mention.

Brother Jim: You say you're a Christian, but

Brother Jim: then how can you keep doing

Brother Jim: what's made you millions and

Brother Jim: millions and millions of dollars

Brother Jim: by singing songs that do not

Brother Jim: glorify God?

Brother Jim: Right.

Brother Jim: You know what I mean?

Brother Jim: It'd be like, uh, AC DC coming out.

Brother Jim: Hey, we're Christians, but we're

Brother Jim: still singing Highway to Hell,

Brother Jim: you know?

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Now you know.

Brother Jim: Speaking of that, David.

Brother Jim: Satan the devil.

Brother Jim: Lucifer.

Brother Jim: He was in charge of worship in heaven.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Does that not make you think that down here he has the

Brother Jim: ability to make music so sweet, so tantalizing to the ear?

David: I mean, it's in his wheelhouse.

Brother Jim: Exactly.

Brother Jim: And music is a great thing, is it not?

David: Oh, absolutely.

Brother Jim: I mean, you mentioned the eighties, dude.

Brother Jim: I love the eighties, the seventies, the eighties, a

Brother Jim: little bit of the nineties, you know, and I'm very diversified

Brother Jim: in music, you know, but, uh, it gets a man to thinking about

Brother Jim: that, you know, if he could convince, persuade a third of

Brother Jim: the angels to come with him.

Brother Jim: Now they've been they were there again.

Brother Jim: I think I've said this.

Brother Jim: He's a heck of a used car salesman.

David: Yeah. No kidding.

Brother Jim: And you got our feeble minds down here, our sinful ways.

Brother Jim: Why not use music?

Brother Jim: So again, I know I got a little

Brother Jim: off topic there, but I can't

Brother Jim: help but think celebrities that

Brother Jim: are coming out and they're still

Brother Jim: continuing that lifestyle, still

Brother Jim: promoting music that got them

Brother Jim: there.

Brother Jim: Yeah.

Brother Jim: You know, I just can't help but wonder about that.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: Alright.

Brother Jim: Jesus spoke these words to people who looked religious but

Brother Jim: had hearts filled with pride, judgment, and hypocrisy.

Brother Jim: They focused on appearances,

Brother Jim: rules, traditions, and public

Brother Jim: image.

Brother Jim: Image management.

Brother Jim: Now I use that big term Sunday.

Brother Jim: Is that not a very big thing in our world today?

David: Oh yeah.

Brother Jim: Social media how I look.

Brother Jim: I love these filters.

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: You can take a guy like this who.

Brother Jim: And all of a sudden I'm looking good through the filter system.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: And it's becoming more and more.

Brother Jim: And self image management because we want everybody.

Brother Jim: Now this is just my opinion.

Brother Jim: We want everybody to be impressed.

Brother Jim: Some of my daughters, God bless them, they freak out if the

Brother Jim: pictures aren't good.

Brother Jim: Me just take the stinking picture, man.

Brother Jim: Exactly.

Brother Jim: Bingo.

Brother Jim: I wish we had a bell right now.

Brother Jim: Ding ding ding ding ding.

Brother Jim: Winner, winner.

Brother Jim: Chicken dinner.

Brother Jim: Notice, baby, I didn't say goodbye to lead.

Brother Jim: But ignoring what was happening inside their hearts.

Brother Jim: And this message still should speak to us today.

Brother Jim: It's easy to focus on looking good on the outside.

Brother Jim: Saying the right things.

Brother Jim: Especially as a pastor.

Brother Jim: Oh my goodness.

Brother Jim: If I start saying wrong things

Brother Jim: up there, David probably have a

Brother Jim: mass exodus.

Brother Jim: Our little, uh.

David: Comment box will be overflowing.

Brother Jim: Thank you.

Brother Jim: I was going to say another word, but comment box would be filled.

Brother Jim: Where's Brother Jim coming from?

Brother Jim: And that is why it's so

Brother Jim: important, I believe as a

Brother Jim: pastor, to back everything in

Brother Jim: the scripture.

Brother Jim: And if you can't see that I got

Brother Jim: a Bible right here in front of

Brother Jim: me, you better be backing it up

Brother Jim: now.

Brother Jim: Does that just stop with the pastor?

Brother Jim: No. If you're a faithful follower of Jesus Christ, you're

Brother Jim: out there in the world.

Brother Jim: You should be trying to spread the gospel.

Brother Jim: You better have this backed up.

Brother Jim: Now, if you're like me, I can't remember diddly do.

Brother Jim: But at least if you have a

Brother Jim: working knowledge and being

Brother Jim: open, hey, I'll come back to you

Brother Jim: on that.

Brother Jim: But I know it's here.

Brother Jim: Appearing kind or spiritual.

Brother Jim: How do we appear spiritual, David.

David: Carrying a Bible around?

David: I don't, I don't know.

Brother Jim: How about this one, my friend?

Brother Jim: The cross.

David: Yeah, that gold cross.

Brother Jim: I want that because I am very.

Brother Jim: I went and got me one and I wear it a lot, but to me it means

Brother Jim: something in a way.

Brother Jim: I'm showing the world, hey, if I'm now again, unfortunately in

Brother Jim: today's world, I don't think it means a whole lot now.

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: But still I am.

Brother Jim: I am bold enough to wear that.

Brother Jim: I better be bold enough to be aware of my actions, my mouth,

Brother Jim: and make sure I am representing God in the right way.

Brother Jim: Just my take on it.

Brother Jim: But God is not primarily concerned with appearances.

Brother Jim: As we see in first Samuel

Brother Jim: sixteen seven, people look at

Brother Jim: the outward appearance, which is

Brother Jim: very true, but the Lord looks at

Brother Jim: the heart.

Brother Jim: God sees what others cannot see, my friends.

Brother Jim: Oh, what about our motives?

Brother Jim: What about our thoughts?

Brother Jim: What about our secret struggles?

Brother Jim: And even I'll go far as to say our secret little dirty sins

Brother Jim: that we battle with.

Brother Jim: I don't know about you, David, but I think we all battle

Brother Jim: temptation, do we not?

David: Yeah.

Brother Jim: I don't care how holy, self-righteous, how many years

Brother Jim: we got problems.

Brother Jim: And guess what?

Brother Jim: We can't do it on our own, can we?

David: Nope.

Brother Jim: No, that's why Jesus is so.

Brother Jim: And that's why King David prayed in Psalms fifty one ten create

Brother Jim: in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.

Brother Jim: And brothers and sisters, I know every day can be a challenge.

Brother Jim: But even if we start out with that prayer.

Brother Jim: Create in me a clean heart, O

Brother Jim: God, and renew a right spirit

Brother Jim: within me.

Brother Jim: You're giving yourself a fighting chance, aren't you?

Brother Jim: For the day.

Brother Jim: No matter what the devil, no matter what the world is going

Brother Jim: to throw at you because you're starting off right with God.

Brother Jim: Being clean on the inside means

Brother Jim: allowing God to work in our

Brother Jim: hearts.

Brother Jim: It means confessing sin, letting

Brother Jim: go of bitterness, replacing

Brother Jim: prayer, asking God to transform

Brother Jim: us.

Brother Jim: Oh, there's my word.

Brother Jim: Transform us from within.

Brother Jim: When the heart is clean, the outside will follow.

Brother Jim: Our words become kinder, our actions more loving.

Brother Jim: And our lives reflect Christ more clearly.

Brother Jim: So today, tonight, instead of asking.

Speaker 4: How.

Brother Jim: Should we not be asking how does my heart look before God?

Brother Jim: Because, friends, true holiness does not start on the outside.

Brother Jim: It begins in the heart.

Brother Jim: David.

Brother Jim: Closing thoughts?

Brother Jim: Anything on that you'd like to add from the Keener zone?

David: Yeah. What you were talking

David: about, uh, maintaining that

David: image.

David: I, I, we were talking about the eighties too, and I had an

David: instant thought come to my mind.

David: I'm a big tennis fan.

David: I've been a tennis fan for forever.

David: And, uh, Andre campaign images, everything.

David: And he advertised for canon cameras.

David: I think it was triple images, everything.

David: And that was that was big back then.

David: But you know, yeah, the image only holds up for so long.

David: Then sooner or later.

Brother Jim: Oh, the cracks.

David: Come, the cracks are going to come.

David: So.

Brother Jim: Oh, who's the dude that would lose it?

Brother Jim: Uh.

David: Uh, John McEnroe.

Speaker 5: Be serious.

Brother Jim: Which I don't think he really put up an image, people, you

Brother Jim: know, he's a mad man out on the court, you know.

Brother Jim: Spoke his mind.

Brother Jim: Uh, but, you know, we could go on and on about that.

Brother Jim: And, uh, you know, what kind of image are you showing the world?

Brother Jim: But more importantly, what kind

Brother Jim: of image is your heart showing

Brother Jim: inside here?

Brother Jim: Your mind, your heart, your soul?

Brother Jim: Uh, something to chew on this week.

Brother Jim: Well, my friends, the time.

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

Brother Jim: You need to thank our Lord above

Brother Jim: for all our blessings each and

Brother Jim: every day.

Brother Jim: And if we meet again, well, then we will smile and rejoice.

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

Brother Jim: Thank you for joining David and

Brother Jim: myself, along with Ida Lee here

Brother Jim: this evening.

Brother Jim: Here on Bible bibs and a prayer.

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

Brother Jim: Out.
