00:00Well, first, if you don't know or don't remember, I'm in Michigan.
00:10Yeah, no thanks, Canuckistanians, for your polar vortex.
00:18Take it back.
00:21But I saw a bumper sticker while I was out.
00:26Salvation.
00:27Salvation.
00:30Given, never earned.
00:33Well, I got to push back a little.
00:38I get the sentiment.
00:41And probably the person with the sticker understands also.
00:47The point being, saved in the blood.
00:51Yes.
00:52But there's more to the Bible than just sit around the campfire and sing kumbaya with Jesus.
01:00Woo, peace, love, peace, love.
01:04The tough love parts.
01:06You know, there's these things called commandments.
01:08There's this thing.
01:10There's a dozen plus scriptures on judgment.
01:18God previously judged the earth.
01:22Judges humanity.
01:24Shall be known by fruits.
01:28That whole book of life reference stuff.
01:32You don't just automatically, just magically show up in the book of life.
01:39Deeds do matter.
01:41Faith without deeds is hollow.
01:45It's hollow.
01:46It's meaningless.
01:47Show you're a Christian.
01:50Do things.
01:52Not just say you're a Christian.
01:54And as if, like I like to say, as a former IT guy, people think Jesus Christ is a magic password.
02:03Oh, ha, unlock heaven.
02:08Jesus Christ, password, enter, open sesame.
02:13So, saved in the blood.
02:16Let's call it 90% of it.
02:20Yes, absolutely.
02:23Required, needed, without, we'd be in trouble.
02:28But, 10%, can you handle 10% of it?
02:34Can you handle any responsibility yourself whatsoever for your actions and deeds or lack thereof?
02:44So, 90%.
02:46Oh, well, bumping up to 95% Jesus and saved by the blood.
02:53And, 5%, though, matters what you do or what you don't do.
03:02Okay?
03:02I think that person gets it.
03:07I don't know.
03:08I would love to have been able to have a conversation with him.
03:11But I'm so glad I saw the bumper sticker.
03:15Thank you all.
03:17Take care.
03:18God bless.
03:19Love you all.
