00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:03.990
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.990 --> 00:00:08.040
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:11.310
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.310 --> 00:00:14.850
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.850 --> 00:00:16.830
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.830 --> 00:00:20.130
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:21.570
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.570 --> 00:00:26.160
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.890
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:32.190
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.530 --> 00:00:36.060
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.790 --> 00:00:40.020
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:41.340
My name is Rick Renner
14
00:00:41.340 --> 00:00:44.970
and I'm here again with a
wonderful Denise Renner.
15
00:00:44.970 --> 00:00:46.050
Thank you, Rick.
16
00:00:46.050 --> 00:00:49.050
I'm enjoying our time in
these programs so much,
17
00:00:49.050 --> 00:00:50.050
Denise.
18
00:00:50.050 --> 00:00:51.300
We're talking about how
to have a happy marriage
19
00:00:51.300 --> 00:00:53.190
and we have a happy marriage,
20
00:00:53.190 --> 00:00:57.510
and tomorrow is our 44th
wedding anniversary.
21
00:00:57.510 --> 00:01:01.080
But please order this series,
comes with a study guide
22
00:01:01.080 --> 00:01:05.190
and get Denise's book which is called Who Stole Cinderella,
23
00:01:05.190 --> 00:01:07.590
the Art of Happily Ever After.
24
00:01:07.590 --> 00:01:09.840
This is really a good book.
25
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:13.920
And now you can order the RIV of 1st & 2nd Peter.
26
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:17.100
And today I'm gonna read a
little bit to you from the RIV
27
00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:18.210
of 1st Peter.
28
00:01:18.210 --> 00:01:21.300
But you can order all these
things by going online
29
00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:22.770
or by giving us a call.
30
00:01:22.770 --> 00:01:25.440
Just call the number on
the screen or go online.
31
00:01:25.440 --> 00:01:27.480
And Denise, we really want people
32
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.600
to tell us how to pray for
them. We believe in prayer.
33
00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:33.720
Absolutely. - And you know,
sometimes when we're in Tulsa
34
00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:36.150
and we walk through the prayer ministry,
35
00:01:36.150 --> 00:01:37.980
it's like a roar of prayer.
36
00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:41.220
People are just fervently praying for those
37
00:01:41.220 --> 00:01:43.140
that reach out to us.
38
00:01:43.140 --> 00:01:45.720
And not only do people reach out to us with prayer requests,
39
00:01:45.720 --> 00:01:48.240
they call back with testimonies.
40
00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:52.020
And the testimonies are amazing: testimony
41
00:01:52.020 --> 00:01:55.620
after testimony that people who received an answer to prayer
42
00:01:55.620 --> 00:01:57.810
after they called or wrote to us.
43
00:01:57.810 --> 00:01:59.490
And we believe there's a testimony
44
00:01:59.490 --> 00:02:02.910
with your name on it just waiting for you.
45
00:02:02.910 --> 00:02:04.320
So let us know how to pray for you
46
00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:07.260
and we want to pray for you as well.
47
00:02:07.260 --> 00:02:09.900
But Denise, today we're gonna move on. Are you ready?
48
00:02:09.900 --> 00:02:12.660
We're ready. - And we're gonna talk about Embracing
49
00:02:12.660 --> 00:02:15.810
Forgiveness in the context of marriage.
50
00:02:15.810 --> 00:02:19.650
If you want to have a happy marriage, then you have to learn
51
00:02:19.650 --> 00:02:22.680
how to forgive and forgive very quickly.
52
00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:27.270
And I want us to begin in Ephesians 4:27,
53
00:02:27.270 --> 00:02:29.250
which we covered in the last program.
54
00:02:29.250 --> 00:02:32.370
And it says - Neither give place to the devil.
55
00:02:32.370 --> 00:02:35.730
We saw in the last program
that when you give place
56
00:02:35.730 --> 00:02:39.090
to the devil, it often results in strife.
57
00:02:39.090 --> 00:02:43.440
And when strife gets in,
there is every evil work.
58
00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:46.530
And Denise and I shared that
early on in our marriage.
59
00:02:46.530 --> 00:02:49.350
And I mean, decades ago we learned
60
00:02:49.350 --> 00:02:51.510
that when we would get into strife, one
61
00:02:51.510 --> 00:02:53.520
of our kids would get sick.
62
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:55.080
And it took us a while to wake up to it.
63
00:02:55.080 --> 00:02:56.580
But we finally realized, you know what?
64
00:02:56.580 --> 00:02:59.620
There's some kind of a
connection between strife
65
00:02:59.620 --> 00:03:01.180
and our kids getting sick.
66
00:03:01.180 --> 00:03:03.790
And that one time that
Philip put his hand in
67
00:03:03.790 --> 00:03:05.500
that hot coffee
68
00:03:05.500 --> 00:03:09.340
and we were in strife
right when that happened,
69
00:03:09.340 --> 00:03:11.860
and he got third degree burns on his hand
70
00:03:11.860 --> 00:03:14.680
and we, I mean, we had
to stop and stop and
71
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.860
and get his hand treated every single day.
72
00:03:17.860 --> 00:03:21.820
But strife opened the door
73
00:03:21.820 --> 00:03:22.990
for that accident
74
00:03:22.990 --> 00:03:24.550
And we really learned.
75
00:03:24.550 --> 00:03:28.030
And after that, one day Denise
and I were driving in the car
76
00:03:28.030 --> 00:03:31.150
and I told you we were in a
little tiny Isuzu I-Mark.
77
00:03:31.150 --> 00:03:34.180
I mean, it was tiny. Mm
with all of our luggage.
78
00:03:34.180 --> 00:03:37.090
We had a tape duplicator, a typewriter,
79
00:03:37.090 --> 00:03:38.950
we had all of our luggage.
80
00:03:38.950 --> 00:03:40.180
Paul was in the backseat.
81
00:03:40.180 --> 00:03:41.980
He refused to stay in the car seat.
82
00:03:41.980 --> 00:03:45.970
That was a great frustration.
Philip was on Denise's lap.
83
00:03:45.970 --> 00:03:47.320
We were nearly joined at the hip
84
00:03:47.320 --> 00:03:51.310
because the car was so compact.
85
00:03:51.310 --> 00:03:52.780
And one day we got into strife
86
00:03:52.780 --> 00:03:56.920
and I said, Denise, if we allow this,
87
00:03:56.920 --> 00:03:58.060
something's going to happen.
88
00:03:58.060 --> 00:04:02.260
We finally learned strife opened a door to every evil work.
89
00:04:02.260 --> 00:04:06.220
So you know what we did? I said, Denise, let's tell strife
90
00:04:06.220 --> 00:04:07.300
to get out of our car.
91
00:04:08.290 --> 00:04:09.850
We literally rolled down the
92
00:04:09.850 --> 00:04:11.265
window on both sides of the car.
93
00:04:11.265 --> 00:04:13.690
We did. And we said,
strife, get out of this car.
94
00:04:13.690 --> 00:04:18.640
And we realized strife is
a spirit. It is a spirit.
95
00:04:18.640 --> 00:04:22.030
And when you allow it in,
it creates bad things.
96
00:04:22.030 --> 00:04:25.330
And we commanded it to get out of our car
97
00:04:25.330 --> 00:04:29.380
and we developed a no
strife policy in our home.
98
00:04:29.380 --> 00:04:33.850
But when you go to Ephesians 4:27, it says,
99
00:04:33.850 --> 00:04:35.770
Neither give place to the devil.
100
00:04:35.770 --> 00:04:38.920
The word place is the Greek word topos.
101
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.040
It describes a real geographical location like a door
102
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:43.510
or window or a crack.
103
00:04:43.510 --> 00:04:46.180
The devil's looking
for some way to get in.
104
00:04:46.180 --> 00:04:49.210
So you've gotta be sure
that you give him no place.
105
00:04:49.210 --> 00:04:52.600
But then when you go to verse 29, it says,
106
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:56.980
Let no corrupt communication
proceed out of your mouth.
107
00:04:56.980 --> 00:04:59.650
Well, I always thought
that meant curse words,
108
00:04:59.650 --> 00:05:02.470
but the word corrupt is a Greek word sapros.
109
00:05:02.470 --> 00:05:04.450
It describes anything that is rotting.
110
00:05:05.290 --> 00:05:08.830
You don't have to speak curse words to speak
111
00:05:08.830 --> 00:05:10.270
corrupt communication.
112
00:05:10.270 --> 00:05:13.900
Corrupt communication is
anything that produces rot.
113
00:05:13.900 --> 00:05:15.550
It doesn't produce anything that's good.
114
00:05:15.550 --> 00:05:19.690
It just produces rot. It's just corrupt.
115
00:05:19.690 --> 00:05:21.670
And he goes on to say instead,
116
00:05:21.670 --> 00:05:23.680
but that which is good
to the use of edifying,
117
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:26.140
that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
118
00:05:27.070 --> 00:05:28.660
And sometimes we just need to stop
119
00:05:28.660 --> 00:05:32.290
and ask ourself, is there a
benefit to what I'm saying?
120
00:05:33.610 --> 00:05:36.460
Am I gonna take Denise higher
or am I gonna take her lower?
121
00:05:37.450 --> 00:05:41.530
Maybe I need to find a way
to represent my argument
122
00:05:41.530 --> 00:05:43.810
or represent what I'm trying to say.
123
00:05:43.810 --> 00:05:47.650
I need to repackage my words
to make them a blessing
124
00:05:47.650 --> 00:05:49.270
and not something that's just corrupt
125
00:05:49.270 --> 00:05:51.160
and is gonna produce something bad.
126
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:53.170
And then it goes on and says in verse 30,
127
00:05:53.170 --> 00:05:56.930
and grieve not the Holy
Spirit whereby you're sealed
128
00:05:56.930 --> 00:05:58.100
under the day of redemption.
129
00:05:58.100 --> 00:05:59.450
Sometimes you just need to stop
130
00:05:59.450 --> 00:06:03.290
and say, is this communication
131
00:06:03.290 --> 00:06:04.640
blessing the spirit of God?
132
00:06:05.570 --> 00:06:09.500
Or is this grievous to the
spirit of God? You'll know.
133
00:06:09.500 --> 00:06:12.620
You'll know the answer. And if
the way that you're behaving,
134
00:06:12.620 --> 00:06:15.230
the way you're speaking is
grieving to the Holy Spirit,
135
00:06:15.230 --> 00:06:16.580
then you ought to stop it.
136
00:06:16.580 --> 00:06:18.140
If it's grieving to the Holy Spirit,
137
00:06:18.140 --> 00:06:19.730
it's gonna be grieving to your spouse.
138
00:06:19.730 --> 00:06:21.740
And guess what? It's gonna grieve you too.
139
00:06:21.740 --> 00:06:24.530
You're gonna be sorry later
that you talked like that.
140
00:06:24.530 --> 00:06:26.785
But the, you have to do this on purpose.
141
00:06:26.785 --> 00:06:28.280
It's, it's very intentional.
142
00:06:28.280 --> 00:06:30.920
It doesn't happen accidentally.
143
00:06:30.920 --> 00:06:34.490
You have to do this on purpose.
144
00:06:34.490 --> 00:06:37.430
And the following verse says, Let all bitterness and wrath
145
00:06:37.430 --> 00:06:38.540
and anger and clamor
146
00:06:38.540 --> 00:06:43.040
and evil speaking be put away
from you with all malice.
147
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:45.530
Verse 32:
148
00:06:45.530 --> 00:06:48.380
And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted,
149
00:06:48.380 --> 00:06:50.840
forgiving one another even as God
150
00:06:50.840 --> 00:06:53.060
for Christ's sake has forgiven you.
151
00:06:53.060 --> 00:06:54.200
And you know what I've learned?
152
00:06:55.640 --> 00:06:59.570
If you can just be nice, you're a pretty mature Christian.
153
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:05.330
I am really impressed by people that are just nice.
154
00:07:05.330 --> 00:07:09.290
But you know what? That's a decision. You choose to be nice.
155
00:07:10.190 --> 00:07:12.290
And rather than put all of your emotion
156
00:07:12.290 --> 00:07:15.740
and spend all of your
emotions in bitterness
157
00:07:16.790 --> 00:07:19.880
and spend all your emotions
on wrath and anger and clamor
158
00:07:19.880 --> 00:07:23.180
and evil speaking, put it
away from you with all malice.
159
00:07:24.890 --> 00:07:27.800
And he says, be ye kind one to another.
160
00:07:27.800 --> 00:07:30.290
Be ye, in Greek is a form of the Greek word ginomai.
161
00:07:30.290 --> 00:07:32.720
A better translation
will be be in the process
162
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:34.940
of becoming kind one to another,
163
00:07:34.940 --> 00:07:36.860
which means this is
something you have to learn.
164
00:07:36.860 --> 00:07:38.630
You have to learn how
to put on the brakes,
165
00:07:39.860 --> 00:07:42.650
and you have to learn how
to reverse your action.
166
00:07:42.650 --> 00:07:46.670
You gotta get involved in the
process of becoming kind one
167
00:07:46.670 --> 00:07:48.860
to another, tender hearted
168
00:07:50.330 --> 00:07:52.250
and forgiving one another even as God
169
00:07:52.250 --> 00:07:53.810
for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
170
00:07:53.810 --> 00:07:56.660
And Denise, the word forgiving here
171
00:07:58.010 --> 00:07:59.690
would be better translated - are you ready
172
00:07:59.690 --> 00:08:01.880
for this - gracing one another
173
00:08:01.880 --> 00:08:06.880
as God for Christ's sake hath graced you.
174
00:08:06.980 --> 00:08:08.690
Mm, powerful. Well,
175
00:08:08.690 --> 00:08:10.430
how many times have you ever just thought,
176
00:08:10.430 --> 00:08:13.520
I just wish somebody would give me grace in this situation.
177
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:17.210
I just wish, I just wish
she would just give me
178
00:08:17.210 --> 00:08:18.380
grace in this.
179
00:08:19.460 --> 00:08:21.740
Well, in the same way, you
want somebody to grace you,
180
00:08:22.670 --> 00:08:24.740
sometimes the best thing you can do is just
181
00:08:24.740 --> 00:08:25.910
to grace somebody else.
182
00:08:25.910 --> 00:08:27.320
Just let it go.
183
00:08:27.320 --> 00:08:30.890
You don't have to correct every single thing that happens.
184
00:08:31.790 --> 00:08:35.390
Now I'm a teacher and so
I'm one that wants to teach.
185
00:08:35.390 --> 00:08:37.670
I'm one that wants to put things in order.
186
00:08:37.670 --> 00:08:41.120
But you know what? Sometimes teaching is not the answer.
187
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:45.680
Sometimes you just need to overlook it and let it go.
188
00:08:45.680 --> 00:08:48.440
You just need to grace somebody in their situation,
189
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:49.460
just grace them.
190
00:08:50.540 --> 00:08:54.320
Just like you want to be
graced and it's powerful.
191
00:08:55.260 --> 00:08:56.670
And when you just grace somebody
192
00:08:56.670 --> 00:09:00.720
and just love them in spite
of them, it is so powerful.
193
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:04.020
It frees them to hear from God.
194
00:09:04.020 --> 00:09:06.990
It frees them to want
to change on their own.
195
00:09:06.990 --> 00:09:08.940
And I wanna give another
verse, but go ahead Denise.
196
00:09:08.940 --> 00:09:10.470
You know I'm thinking of Proverbs
197
00:09:10.470 --> 00:09:11.850
because it says
198
00:09:11.850 --> 00:09:16.850
that there is learning in sweet talk.
199
00:09:16.890 --> 00:09:21.060
If people are arguing,
there's no learning going on.
200
00:09:21.060 --> 00:09:22.860
We have one son that says,
201
00:09:22.860 --> 00:09:27.570
if people are shouting at each
other, nobody hears anything
202
00:09:27.570 --> 00:09:30.060
and there's no learning going on.
203
00:09:30.060 --> 00:09:33.810
And that verse says, to be tender hearted.
204
00:09:33.810 --> 00:09:38.130
Now to be tender hearted,
you've gotta guard your heart.
205
00:09:38.130 --> 00:09:43.130
Yes. - Because if that person is railing against you,
206
00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:46.020
you can't say, well I'm just going
207
00:09:46.020 --> 00:09:50.010
to guard my heart against them
208
00:09:50.010 --> 00:09:52.050
and they're not gonna hurt me.
209
00:09:52.050 --> 00:09:53.970
And they're thinking
about how to answer back.
210
00:09:53.970 --> 00:09:56.610
That is not a tender heart.
No, it's not.
211
00:09:56.610 --> 00:09:58.260
That's a hard heart.
212
00:09:59.640 --> 00:10:02.580
And and God didn't call marriage for us
213
00:10:02.580 --> 00:10:06.480
to be hard hearted towards each other,
214
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:11.460
but he called us to be tender
hearted toward each other.
215
00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:14.190
Marriage is not supposed to be like this.
216
00:10:14.190 --> 00:10:17.550
It's supposed to be like this.
217
00:10:17.550 --> 00:10:21.690
Understanding, supporting giving grace
218
00:10:21.690 --> 00:10:22.830
to one another
219
00:10:22.830 --> 00:10:26.940
and keeping a tender heart
220
00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:28.230
towards your spouse
221
00:10:28.230 --> 00:10:31.020
And gracing each other as God,
222
00:10:31.020 --> 00:10:32.700
for Christ's sake has graced us.
223
00:10:32.700 --> 00:10:36.390
Denise, think how God has just graced us.
224
00:10:36.390 --> 00:10:41.390
Oh right. I mean, how can I be judgmental of anybody else
225
00:10:41.910 --> 00:10:44.640
when I think about how un-judgmental God has been of me;
226
00:10:44.640 --> 00:10:47.070
he has just graced me and graced me
227
00:10:47.070 --> 00:10:48.900
and graced me and friends,
228
00:10:48.900 --> 00:10:50.580
we are obligated to grace others.
229
00:10:51.510 --> 00:10:55.830
Well, and that verse says, you forgive
230
00:10:55.830 --> 00:10:57.690
as you've been forgiven.
231
00:10:57.690 --> 00:11:00.570
That's right.
That's a very high standard.
232
00:11:00.570 --> 00:11:02.550
You say, well I don't
wanna forgive anymore.
233
00:11:02.550 --> 00:11:05.700
I'm tired of their actions.
They always do that.
234
00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:08.490
I say something to them and
they say this back to me
235
00:11:08.490 --> 00:11:11.220
and we, we never get along.
236
00:11:11.220 --> 00:11:15.990
Well you've got to press through
237
00:11:15.990 --> 00:11:18.090
And sometimes pressing
through is backing off.
238
00:11:18.090 --> 00:11:20.190
Exactly. Just
Back off and just give
239
00:11:20.190 --> 00:11:22.410
Grace and, and just give grace.
240
00:11:22.410 --> 00:11:25.350
Give time. Think of a good thought.
241
00:11:25.350 --> 00:11:28.500
Think you know that that's a good,
242
00:11:28.500 --> 00:11:30.725
that's a good attribute about them.
243
00:11:30.725 --> 00:11:34.380
I can think of things, I can be thankful
244
00:11:34.380 --> 00:11:37.080
for them about my spouse.
245
00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:41.730
Oh, I'm, oh that's good. He is
like that. She is like that.
246
00:11:41.730 --> 00:11:45.300
Lord, thank you for that.
Because the enemy's coming in.
247
00:11:45.300 --> 00:11:47.130
Cultural remembrance, good things.
248
00:11:47.130 --> 00:11:49.680
Well the enemy's coming
in with accusation Rick,
249
00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:50.680
Right?
250
00:11:50.680 --> 00:11:52.080
Because he is an accuser.
251
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.310
So he's either gonna accuse you
252
00:11:54.310 --> 00:11:57.910
or he is gonna accuse
your spouse in your mind
253
00:11:57.910 --> 00:12:01.030
and that's when you've got to keep - No,
254
00:12:01.030 --> 00:12:03.940
I'm keeping a tender heart.
255
00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:06.280
Alright, I wanna share something from the RIV of 1st
256
00:12:06.280 --> 00:12:08.290
Peter - are you ready for this?
257
00:12:08.290 --> 00:12:11.590
Where Peter is speaking to husbands and wives.
258
00:12:11.590 --> 00:12:13.570
and remember what I said in a previous program,
259
00:12:13.570 --> 00:12:15.940
Peter had been married about 60 years,
260
00:12:15.940 --> 00:12:18.310
so he knew something about marriage.
261
00:12:18.310 --> 00:12:21.730
So when most people read 1 Peter 3, they think
262
00:12:21.730 --> 00:12:25.870
that all his speech about
marriage ends in verse 7.
263
00:12:25.870 --> 00:12:28.390
But he really continues in verse 8.
264
00:12:28.390 --> 00:12:30.670
And in verse 8, the King James Version says - Finally -
265
00:12:30.670 --> 00:12:33.545
it's kind of a wrap up to everything that he said -
266
00:12:33.545 --> 00:12:34.919
Be ye all
267
00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:39.400
of one mind having
compassion one of another.
268
00:12:39.400 --> 00:12:43.840
Love as brethren. Be pitiful, be courteous.
269
00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:47.080
Well this verse really helps me,
270
00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:49.180
and I'm gonna tell you how it helps me.
271
00:12:49.180 --> 00:12:54.130
It says finally - so he is wrapping it up - be of one mind.
272
00:12:55.780 --> 00:12:58.630
That's a goal. That's a
goal to be of one mind.
273
00:12:58.630 --> 00:13:01.240
I'm gonna give you the RIV
of this in just a moment.
274
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.190
It says have compassion of one another.
275
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:07.390
And you know, sometimes in
the context of marriage,
276
00:13:07.390 --> 00:13:08.740
you just need to have compassion.
277
00:13:09.670 --> 00:13:14.230
Sometimes that is what is needed. Just to be very honest,
278
00:13:14.230 --> 00:13:18.250
sometimes Denise doesn't need my words, she needs my hug.
279
00:13:19.240 --> 00:13:21.490
And a hug can fix a lot of things.
280
00:13:22.780 --> 00:13:25.240
And sometimes she'll just say, Rick,
281
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:26.650
would you please just hug me?
282
00:13:27.970 --> 00:13:29.920
And I always feel so silly at that moment
283
00:13:29.920 --> 00:13:32.410
because sad that she had to tell me.
284
00:13:32.410 --> 00:13:34.870
But sometimes we need to be reminded
285
00:13:34.870 --> 00:13:36.970
that sometimes people
don't just need correction,
286
00:13:36.970 --> 00:13:39.985
correction, correction, they
just need a hug to help them.
287
00:13:39.985 --> 00:13:41.740
And I wanna say something right there,
288
00:13:41.740 --> 00:13:45.670
because wise, we expect our
husbands to read our minds.
289
00:13:45.670 --> 00:13:47.590
We think they know how we feel.
290
00:13:47.590 --> 00:13:49.840
We think they know that
we've had a bad day
291
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.630
or that we're exhausted
and that a hug will help.
292
00:13:52.630 --> 00:13:55.120
Well, they just might not
be thinking about that.
293
00:13:55.120 --> 00:14:00.120
And so a real practical thing
is just to say, I need a hug.
294
00:14:00.430 --> 00:14:03.160
But the verse goes on
to say, love is brethren.
295
00:14:03.160 --> 00:14:05.020
Now that really helps me. You know why?
296
00:14:06.520 --> 00:14:11.020
Because before Denise was
my wife, she was my sister.
297
00:14:12.280 --> 00:14:16.780
One day when we go to heaven,
she will still be my sister.
298
00:14:16.780 --> 00:14:18.610
Right now in life, God has joined us
299
00:14:18.610 --> 00:14:20.080
for the purpose of marriage.
300
00:14:20.980 --> 00:14:22.660
But before she was my wife.
301
00:14:23.500 --> 00:14:25.690
And long after the grave,
when we're all in heaven,
302
00:14:25.690 --> 00:14:27.100
she'll still be my sister.
303
00:14:27.100 --> 00:14:28.720
And do you know what? She deserves?
304
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.640
The same behavior I would give
305
00:14:30.640 --> 00:14:33.190
to any sister in the body of Christ.
306
00:14:33.190 --> 00:14:36.220
I'm not gonna be ugly
with a woman at church.
307
00:14:36.220 --> 00:14:38.620
I'm not gonna get into strife
with any woman at church.
308
00:14:38.620 --> 00:14:40.990
You know why? Because they
are my sister in Christ
309
00:14:40.990 --> 00:14:43.180
and they deserve my respect.
310
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.540
And sometimes you just
gotta put on the brakes
311
00:14:46.540 --> 00:14:49.150
and say, now wait a minute, you're talking
312
00:14:49.150 --> 00:14:50.770
to a sister in Christ.
313
00:14:51.980 --> 00:14:53.720
It doesn't matter if she's your wife,
314
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:55.250
it doesn't matter if you're in strife
315
00:14:55.250 --> 00:14:57.860
or you're in disagreement,
she's your sister.
316
00:14:58.790 --> 00:15:01.940
And she deserves respect
and honor as a sister.
317
00:15:01.940 --> 00:15:03.380
That really helps me.
318
00:15:03.380 --> 00:15:06.290
But then it goes on to say,
be pitiful, be courteous.
319
00:15:06.290 --> 00:15:09.230
And you know what? Now Denise,
I'm just gonna be honest.
320
00:15:09.230 --> 00:15:13.430
Sometimes Denise just kind of gets into
321
00:15:14.300 --> 00:15:15.980
maybe an emotional squander:
322
00:15:17.450 --> 00:15:20.690
doesn't make any sense, doesn't even make any sense to her.
323
00:15:22.700 --> 00:15:25.190
And rather than correct her, sometimes I think
324
00:15:25.190 --> 00:15:27.320
of this verse it says, be pitiful.
325
00:15:27.320 --> 00:15:28.730
And sometimes I just look at her.
326
00:15:28.730 --> 00:15:32.600
I say, that is just
pitiful. She just needs me.
327
00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:35.390
She doesn't need my
correction, she needs my pity,
328
00:15:35.390 --> 00:15:38.060
she needs my love, she
needs my compassion.
329
00:15:39.350 --> 00:15:42.710
And the next thing the
verse says is be courteous.
330
00:15:43.550 --> 00:15:47.450
Be courteous, be polite. Be courteous
331
00:15:47.450 --> 00:15:50.330
in your relationship. You'd be courteous
332
00:15:50.330 --> 00:15:51.440
to anybody else.
333
00:15:52.310 --> 00:15:55.100
You're talking about the most important person in your life.
334
00:15:55.100 --> 00:15:57.440
It's your husband, it's your wife.
335
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.050
You should be courteous
in your relationship.
336
00:16:00.050 --> 00:16:02.120
And I want to give you the RIV of 1
337
00:16:02.120 --> 00:16:03.320
Peter 3:8.
338
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:04.520
Are you ready for this? Denise?
339
00:16:04.520 --> 00:16:07.070
I want to interrupt.
Okay.
340
00:16:07.070 --> 00:16:10.550
I want to say that Rick
was courteous to me today
341
00:16:10.550 --> 00:16:14.840
because I need, I had less time to get ready than he did.
342
00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:17.690
And I said, Rick, would you
just please make the bed?
343
00:16:17.690 --> 00:16:20.930
And he was courteous
in. Yeah, I'll do that.
344
00:16:20.930 --> 00:16:23.090
Not resentful, not - oh, I don't have time.
345
00:16:23.090 --> 00:16:24.860
No, I don't wanna do that. No.
346
00:16:24.860 --> 00:16:29.090
He said he would do it
in a very courteous way.
347
00:16:29.090 --> 00:16:30.470
Well thank you sweetheart.
348
00:16:30.470 --> 00:16:32.990
But I want to give the RIV of 1 Peter 3:8.
349
00:16:32.990 --> 00:16:37.430
And Denise has never heard it.
So this is new. Here it is.
350
00:16:37.430 --> 00:16:40.010
But I have a really important
additional final word.
351
00:16:40.880 --> 00:16:44.840
Corporately, all of you are
to be synchronized as much
352
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:49.340
as possible in your mind,
perception and understanding.
353
00:16:49.340 --> 00:16:53.720
You must also be sympathetic
and be compassionate
354
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:56.120
and empathetic with each other.
355
00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:57.920
Love each other as those
356
00:16:57.920 --> 00:17:00.980
who are really related to each other.
357
00:17:00.980 --> 00:17:03.170
You must have emotions for each other.
358
00:17:03.170 --> 00:17:07.310
So deeply felt that it
moves you from a gut level
359
00:17:07.310 --> 00:17:10.520
to reach out to do whatever
you can to help each other.
360
00:17:10.520 --> 00:17:11.540
Denise, you do that for me.
361
00:17:11.540 --> 00:17:15.650
So many times, be
unassuming, unpretentious,
362
00:17:15.650 --> 00:17:17.990
without heirs about yourself,
363
00:17:17.990 --> 00:17:20.630
even if you are more gifted than others.
364
00:17:20.630 --> 00:17:23.720
Nevertheless, do not be self-promoting,
365
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:27.200
but intentionally think
modestly of yourself.
366
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.860
Now that is just amazing to me.
367
00:17:30.860 --> 00:17:34.730
And then the next verse says,
not rendering evil for evil
368
00:17:34.730 --> 00:17:36.500
or railing for railing.
369
00:17:36.500 --> 00:17:39.380
But you know what? The Bible
tells us to be courteous,
370
00:17:39.380 --> 00:17:42.620
to be polite, to be pitiful,
to be compassionate,
371
00:17:42.620 --> 00:17:43.790
to love his brethren.
372
00:17:44.630 --> 00:17:47.240
And to me that really elevates marriage.
373
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:49.440
It really elevates marriage.
374
00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:51.720
You know, Denise is my wife,
375
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:54.600
but Denise is my sister,
and I'm her brother.
376
00:17:56.070 --> 00:17:59.490
We are both blood washed individuals.
377
00:17:59.490 --> 00:18:02.340
And even in the context of marriage, that just brings a lot
378
00:18:02.340 --> 00:18:04.560
of honor to the relationship.
379
00:18:04.560 --> 00:18:08.400
It says in 1 Corinthians 12,
380
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:13.170
that even though we're different, we all drink from the same
381
00:18:13.170 --> 00:18:14.170
spirit.
382
00:18:15.030 --> 00:18:19.740
We are so one, not just 'cause in marriage, but we are one
383
00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:21.990
because we're one in him.
384
00:18:21.990 --> 00:18:26.400
And....this world, we want it tries to separate us.
385
00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:28.530
It tries to say, oh, you're are this, you're this.
386
00:18:28.530 --> 00:18:32.550
Oh you are that. Oh, I don't need you. I can do this myself.
387
00:18:32.550 --> 00:18:34.800
But not in the body of Christ.
388
00:18:34.800 --> 00:18:39.450
We do need one another
and to esteem one another
389
00:18:39.450 --> 00:18:42.935
because we drink from the same spirit.
390
00:18:42.935 --> 00:18:44.430
Denise, Denise, I wanna give the RIV
391
00:18:44.430 --> 00:18:47.250
of 1 Peter 3:9 one more time.
392
00:18:47.250 --> 00:18:50.430
But you absolutely must
not try to get even,
393
00:18:51.325 --> 00:18:52.830
to get a revenge
394
00:18:52.830 --> 00:18:55.680
or to pay someone back for what he did
395
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:57.030
to you or someone else.
396
00:18:57.030 --> 00:19:00.720
Don't try to settle the score
by repaying someone's bad,
397
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:02.550
evil, malicious rotten attitudes
398
00:19:02.550 --> 00:19:05.940
and behaviors in exchange
for more bad, evil,
399
00:19:05.940 --> 00:19:08.160
malicious rotten behaviors.
400
00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:10.890
Or if someone has verbally
abused, berated, damaged,
401
00:19:10.890 --> 00:19:14.280
debased, harassed, humiliated,
insulted, or misused you
402
00:19:14.280 --> 00:19:17.940
or someone else, do not
make it your business
403
00:19:17.940 --> 00:19:22.170
to pay them back with the
same kind of verbal abuse.
404
00:19:22.170 --> 00:19:26.400
But on the contrary, into the farthest, opposite end
405
00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:31.290
of the spectrum, you must instead speak a verbal blessing in
406
00:19:31.290 --> 00:19:33.420
response to them.
407
00:19:33.420 --> 00:19:34.761
For it's this very purpose
408
00:19:34.761 --> 00:19:37.211
that you've been prestigiously called
409
00:19:37.211 --> 00:19:40.050
that you should be the
recipients of a blessing.
410
00:19:40.050 --> 00:19:42.690
And you know what the next verse says - For he
411
00:19:42.690 --> 00:19:44.910
that will love life and see good
412
00:19:44.910 --> 00:19:46.020
days,
413
00:19:46.020 --> 00:19:48.090
let him refrain his tongue from evil
414
00:19:48.090 --> 00:19:50.760
and his lips that they speak no gile.
415
00:19:50.760 --> 00:19:54.375
The RIV says - For the person who fully intends
416
00:19:54.375 --> 00:19:57.360
to have a life that's full of gusto
417
00:19:57.360 --> 00:20:01.410
and zest, that is a life
really worth living.
418
00:20:01.410 --> 00:20:03.570
And who wishes to firsthand see
419
00:20:03.570 --> 00:20:06.780
and experience their really good and profitable day is times
420
00:20:06.780 --> 00:20:08.850
and seasons in life,
421
00:20:08.850 --> 00:20:13.110
then let him make sure his tongue refrains from,
422
00:20:13.110 --> 00:20:17.190
ceases and permanently stops from speaking evil.
423
00:20:17.190 --> 00:20:21.120
For a person wants to have
a life really worth living,
424
00:20:21.120 --> 00:20:23.220
then he must purposely put distance
425
00:20:23.220 --> 00:20:24.930
between himself and evil.
426
00:20:24.930 --> 00:20:28.380
And that includes watching what he says
427
00:20:28.380 --> 00:20:32.820
and no longer allowing his
mouth to spew reckless words.
428
00:20:33.870 --> 00:20:35.760
And that's we're gonna talk
about in the next program.
429
00:20:35.760 --> 00:20:39.510
We're gonna talk about
watching your mouth in the
430
00:20:39.510 --> 00:20:40.620
context of marriage.
431
00:20:40.620 --> 00:20:43.800
It's really going to be
good, but we're out of time.
432
00:20:43.800 --> 00:20:45.210
But Denise, and I'll be back to pray
433
00:20:45.210 --> 00:20:46.920
for you in just a moment.
434
00:20:55.330 --> 00:20:58.090
How did you begin your ministry in the Soviet Union?
435
00:20:58.090 --> 00:21:00.790
Well, Joel, when we first moved to the former Soviet Union,
436
00:21:00.790 --> 00:21:03.130
which at that time was
still the Soviet Union,
437
00:21:03.130 --> 00:21:05.680
I was invited here to speak
438
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:08.680
as a regular teacher in a Bible school.
439
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:11.950
And every day I'd walk
down to that Bible school
440
00:21:11.950 --> 00:21:15.700
and I would stand in front
of about 220 students, people
441
00:21:15.700 --> 00:21:17.440
who were so hungry,
442
00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:19.060
and it was such an amazing moment
443
00:21:19.060 --> 00:21:21.460
because it was the first
time they could openly
444
00:21:21.460 --> 00:21:22.510
study the Bible.
445
00:21:22.510 --> 00:21:25.870
Because in the Soviet Union
that had been forbidden.
446
00:21:25.870 --> 00:21:29.230
And now here they were sitting
in a Bible school studying
447
00:21:29.230 --> 00:21:32.590
the scriptures and my beginning here was
448
00:21:32.590 --> 00:21:33.880
to be their teacher.
449
00:21:33.880 --> 00:21:37.540
And what is amazing is that many of those students who were
450
00:21:37.540 --> 00:21:39.880
with me at the very beginning, today pastor
451
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:44.110
the largest churches in the
entire former Soviet Union.
452
00:21:44.110 --> 00:21:46.900
Everywhere we go, we see the fruit
453
00:21:46.900 --> 00:21:48.580
of those wonderful students.
454
00:21:49.420 --> 00:21:53.410
Want a marriage filled
with peace, purpose, and joy.

Hey, this is Rick Renner
480
00:23:09.190 --> 00:23:12.310
and I'm standing inside the Partner Care department
481
00:23:12.310 --> 00:23:15.280
of our ministry and this is where the action takes place.
482
00:23:15.280 --> 00:23:17.260
Thousands of phone calls every day
483
00:23:17.260 --> 00:23:20.380
and every month come into
this place from people
484
00:23:20.380 --> 00:23:21.550
reaching out to us.
485
00:23:21.550 --> 00:23:24.310
And this is my precious
mother who is in heaven
486
00:23:24.310 --> 00:23:26.680
and she established this
part of the ministry.
487
00:23:26.680 --> 00:23:29.170
But these are the
principles we are dedicated
488
00:23:29.170 --> 00:23:30.003
to:
489
00:23:30.003 --> 00:23:33.100
To feed the entire flock God has brought to this ministry:
490
00:23:33.100 --> 00:23:35.380
to strengthen those who are diseased in any area
491
00:23:35.380 --> 00:23:37.630
of their lives, to bring healing to those in need
492
00:23:37.630 --> 00:23:40.330
of any type of healing, to bind up those
493
00:23:40.330 --> 00:23:42.580
who are broken in any area of their lives,
494
00:23:42.580 --> 00:23:44.590
to bring back those that have been driven away,
495
00:23:44.590 --> 00:23:47.000
to reach the lost, and to take the gospel
496
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:49.250
and the trusted teaching of the Bible to the ends
497
00:23:49.250 --> 00:23:52.340
of the earth, to shepherd the flock that God has caused
498
00:23:52.340 --> 00:23:54.350
to hear the voice of this ministry
499
00:23:54.350 --> 00:23:57.020
and to help them grow in
their relationship with Christ
500
00:23:57.020 --> 00:23:59.900
and become powerful
Bible-based believers equipped
501
00:23:59.900 --> 00:24:01.370
for these last days.
502
00:24:01.370 --> 00:24:02.690
And to thank and minister
503
00:24:02.690 --> 00:24:05.810
to partners whose sacrificial
gifts have enabled this
504
00:24:05.810 --> 00:24:08.750
ministry to fulfill its
call around the world.
505
00:24:08.750 --> 00:24:12.080
And we are very committed
to these principles.
506
00:24:12.080 --> 00:24:14.180
And if you're a partner,
you know we're very
507
00:24:14.180 --> 00:24:15.920
serious about that.
508
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:19.280
But hey, right now we're trying to pay off this facility
509
00:24:19.280 --> 00:24:20.300
and those who are part
510
00:24:20.300 --> 00:24:23.960
of the Ministry Expansion Project are helping us to do that.
511
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:26.450
And if you're a part already, thank you.
512
00:24:26.450 --> 00:24:29.510
But if you're not part of that
giving team yet, we need you.
513
00:24:29.510 --> 00:24:31.040
So would you please become a part
514
00:24:31.040 --> 00:24:33.650
of the Ministry Expansion Giving Team
515
00:24:33.650 --> 00:24:35.900
so we can pay off this facility
516
00:24:35.900 --> 00:24:40.220
and then keep taking the gospel to the ends of the Earth
517
00:24:40.220 --> 00:24:43.070
where people really are crying out for someone
518
00:24:43.070 --> 00:24:46.340
to bring them trusted
teaching of the Bible.
519
00:24:46.340 --> 00:24:49.010
And that's us, that's our call
520
00:24:49.010 --> 00:24:51.650
and my friends together we can do this.
521
00:24:51.650 --> 00:24:54.590
And I want to say "thank you" so much.
522
00:25:03.230 --> 00:25:05.360
Well, today we've been
talking about the need
523
00:25:05.360 --> 00:25:08.870
to embrace forgiveness in
the context of marriage.
524
00:25:08.870 --> 00:25:11.900
Sometimes you just need
to grace each other.
525
00:25:11.900 --> 00:25:14.840
The Bible says we're to
grace each other as God
526
00:25:14.840 --> 00:25:17.480
for Christ's sake has graced us.
527
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:20.690
And sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is just
528
00:25:20.690 --> 00:25:22.340
to grace somebody.
529
00:25:22.340 --> 00:25:25.190
And you need to learn to do that in the context of marriage.
530
00:25:25.190 --> 00:25:27.710
But please order the whole series, which is called, How
531
00:25:27.710 --> 00:25:29.270

these resources are just amazing
539
00:25:45.350 --> 00:25:47.090
and I want people to have them.
540
00:25:47.090 --> 00:25:50.450
And you can get them by going
online or by giving us a call.
541
00:25:50.450 --> 00:25:52.850
And please let us know how to pray for you
542
00:25:52.850 --> 00:25:55.580
because we really want to pray for you
543
00:25:55.580 --> 00:25:59.330
and put your hand on your
heart right now because Denise
544
00:25:59.330 --> 00:26:02.420
and I are gonna pray for
you together just now.
545
00:26:02.420 --> 00:26:05.180
Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you
546
00:26:05.180 --> 00:26:08.780
that you've given us
the power to overlook,
547
00:26:08.780 --> 00:26:11.780
to let go and to grace.
548
00:26:11.780 --> 00:26:15.710
And just like we want people
to grace us, help us to learn
549
00:26:15.710 --> 00:26:19.850
that there are moments when
we just need to close our lips
550
00:26:19.850 --> 00:26:22.340
and just give grace to people.
551
00:26:22.340 --> 00:26:25.190
Help us to be compassionate,
to love his brethren,
552
00:26:25.190 --> 00:26:26.840
to be pitiful and
553
00:26:26.840 --> 00:26:31.370
to be courteous like we are commanded in 1 Peter 3,
554
00:26:31.370 --> 00:26:36.370
we thank you for this in the wonderful name of Jesus -
555
00:26:36.380 --> 00:26:40.550
Amen. You know Denise, if somebody can just be nice,
556
00:26:40.550 --> 00:26:43.590
they've already really attained something, let's all pray
557
00:26:43.590 --> 00:26:45.330
that we can be nice.
558
00:26:45.330 --> 00:26:47.730
Father, we thank you again for it in Jesus' name.
559
00:26:47.730 --> 00:26:49.500
Hey, we'll be back tomorrow.
560
00:26:49.500 --> 00:26:52.410
But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
561
00:26:52.410 --> 00:26:55.230
of a king is, there is power."
562
00:26:56.190 --> 00:26:58.440
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
563
00:26:58.440 --> 00:27:02.850
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
564
00:27:02.850 --> 00:27:05.010
Jesus has to give you.
565
00:27:05.010 --> 00:27:09.630
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord, I repent
566
00:27:09.630 --> 00:27:13.080
of my sin and receive you as my Savior
567
00:27:13.080 --> 00:27:16.080
and Lord. Wash away my sin
568
00:27:16.080 --> 00:27:19.080
and make me completely new.
569
00:27:19.080 --> 00:27:22.950
I thank you that my sin is removed
570
00:27:22.950 --> 00:27:27.570
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
571
00:27:28.440 --> 00:27:32.400
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
572
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:35.040
for the rest of my life.
573
00:27:35.040 --> 00:27:36.040
Amen.
574
00:27:38.705 --> 00:27:41.580

prayer of salvation with us,
575
00:27:41.580 --> 00:27:43.530
