the things concerning the name of jesus things concerning the name of jesus christ christ well one of the many things our lord well one of the many things our lord said was said was by this shall all men know that ye are by this shall all men know that ye are my disciples if you have long one to my disciples if you have long one to another another what kind of love is our lord talking what kind of love is our lord talking about about well he said well he said a new commandment i give unto you that a new commandment i give unto you that you love one another as i have loved you you love one another as i have loved you that ye also love one another that ye also love one another how did he show his love for us for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting should not perish but have everlasting life life god loved us by giving his beloved son god loved us by giving his beloved son for us our lord said that the love of many shall wax cold how do we show our love for one another the lord jesus said to us a new commandment i give unto you that ye love commandment i give unto you that ye love one another as i have loved you that ye one another as i have loved you that ye also love one another love us he gave his life for us he gave his life for us and he said that we should love one and he said that we should love one another as he has loved us do we love our brothers and sisters we love our brothers and sisters i'm sure we do we remind one another about the vision the glorious kingdom that is to come the glorious kingdom that is to come and we strive to help one another and we strive to help one another to enter in in the day of our lord's to enter in in the day of our lord's return return that's when we can show our love for one that's when we can show our love for one another james tells us as if a brother or sister be naked and destitute of daily food and be naked and destitute of daily food and one of you say unto them depart in peace one of you say unto them depart in peace be warmed and filled be warmed and filled not with standing you give them not not with standing you give them not those things which are needful to the those things which are needful to the body body what does this profit and i'm sure we don't fall into that category the proverb says do not withhold good from those from those to whom it is due to whom it is due when it is in your power to do it do not when it is in your power to do it do not say to your neighbor go and come again say to your neighbor go and come again tomorrow i will give it tomorrow i will give it when you have it with you there were divisions amongst the ecclesias also and brother paul tells us brother paul tells us he says brethren he says brethren by the name of our lord jesus christ by the name of our lord jesus christ that ye all speak the same thing that ye all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you and that there be no divisions among you but that ye be perfectly joined together but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same in the same mind and in the same judgment judgment and of course and of course we know we know we can't love one another we can't love one another being divided there's no communication and two can't walk together and two can't walk together unless they agree look what advice paul gives us he's talking to timothy and he tells he's talking to timothy and he tells timothy until i come timothy until i come give attendance to reading excitation to give attendance to reading excitation to doctrine neglect not the gift that is in thee which was given thee by prophecy which was given thee by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the with the laying on of the hands of the present theory meditate upon these things give thyself holy to them give thyself holy to them that thy propheting that thy propheting may be appears to all take heed unto thyself and unto the doctrine doctrine continue in them continue in them for in doing this thou shall for in doing this thou shall both say thyself and them that hear thee both say thyself and them that hear thee and you know there are different doctors and you know there are different doctors that are being taught out

shouldn't be and i happened to see it myself and happened to see it myself and of course i was surprised of course i was surprised and then there were sisters that were and then there were sisters that were given given excitations at the memorial service excitations at the memorial service i saw this myself and um so we have to be very careful and so we have to be very careful and there's other doctrines there's other doctrines that these brothers were saying that there were churches that were near them churches that were near them that came to that came to the evening lectures and they didn't like what they heard and they didn't like what they heard because they were brother and they were because they were brother and they were speaking saying that speaking saying that you have to be baptized you have to be baptized and be uh and be uh believe the gospel that which you uh listening to uh listening to the gospel you have to hear it believe it and then do something about it about it and then there were some that were not and then there were some that were not of our faith of our faith they were offended by because they they were offended by because they thought that baptism wasn't necessary and we also have things that are sort of creeping in things that are sort of creeping in from the outside of the world that from the outside of the world that people will say that um people will say that um signs and signs and and the bible can go hand in hand and the bible can go hand in hand but but that's not true that's not true um um you got individuals that say that you got

kingdom of god and the things concerning the name of and the things concerning the name of jesus christ emmanuel our lord what did the lord god say to moses that is yet to come for us that is yet to come for us we remember these words there's a lot of we remember these words there's a lot of things that the lord god said to me and things that the lord god said to me and said but i have one particular thing in said but i have one particular thing in mind mind and one of my favorite and one of my favorite verses of scriptures i'm sure all of all verses of scriptures i'm sure all of all of i can speak for all of us of i can speak for all of us for numbers 14 21 but as truly as i live for numbers 14 21 but as truly as i live all the years should be filled with the all the years should be filled with the glory of the lord glory of the lord it's going to be a glorious day in that it's going to be a glorious day in that day you know what is this glory of the lord about who shall change all of our bodies that it may be fresh and like under his it may be fresh and like under his glorious body glorious body according to the working whereby he is according to the working whereby he is able even to do all things unto himself able even to do all things unto himself that's our lord he's going to change all that's our lord he's going to change all of our bodies that it may be fashioned of our bodies that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body like unto his glorious body and and just in passing just in passing remember when the lord was remember when the lord was praying to the father and he was praying to the father and he was speaking speaking for himself and also for his disciples for himself and also for his disciples he said father give me that glory that i he said father give me that glory that i had with me in the beginning before the had with me in the beginning before the world was world was and the voice came back and said i have and the voice came back and said i have and that's that glorious body and that's that glorious body that was changed from that was changed from the the death death this dying body this dying body because of sin because of sin that's dying every day but yet our lord when he comes which is basic teaching for us i know which is basic teaching for us i know he's going to change all of our bodies he's going to change all of our bodies like unto his glorious body like unto his glorious body what a wonderful day that's going to be and that can only happen our body's being changed like unto our lord's body being changed like unto our lord's body if we continue in the faith grounded and if we continue in the faith grounded and settled settled and be not moved away from the hope of and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel the gospel that gospel is that gospel is we know that the gospel is we know that the gospel is the the center and center and [Music] [Music] of god's purpose and plan that he has of god's purpose and plan that he has for this earth and mankind upon it for this earth and mankind upon it everything that we need to know everything that we need to know and do and do is wrapped up in that gospel is wrapped up in that gospel when one when one looks at the gospel looks at the gospel that was before a priest under abraham that was before a priest under abraham and and go back to the old testament and go back to the old testament and read how god read how god was with abraham and isaac and jacob and was with abraham and isaac and jacob and sarah and leo rebecca and all of them sarah and leo rebecca and all of them and the trials that they went through and the trials that they went through you can see you can see the good news of the gospel deserve the good news of the gospel deserve about god's kingdom about god's kingdom and the things concerning the name of and the things concerning the name of jesus christ there were things that we jesus christ there were things that we have to do things that we have been have to do things that we have been commanded to do commanded to do and keeping our lives and keeping our lives straight through from genesis all the straight through from genesis all the way to revelation way to revelation the theme of the gospel does not change i think i got this mixed up uh uh yes okay one last thing one last thing when it comes to when it comes to having having uh we having personal problems such as uh we having personal problems such as do we know of someone that's gotten do we know of someone that's gotten themselves into a sinful situation themselves into a sinful situation because of a moment of weakness and we know that i know personally i know personally that there that there uh many that are going through because of the weakness of the flesh that we all share or either have been disfellowshipped and have come back someone that has repented of their sin and we and we do we know of anyone do we know of anyone that has repented of the sin and isaac that has repented of the sin and isaac and is accepted back into the fold but in our heart we have scorned for them them even though we say yeah oh yeah we we even though we say yeah oh yeah we we can accept them back but in our hearts can accept them back but in our hearts we have scorned for them because we we have scorned for them because we think think what they did was awful remember the words of peter then came peter to him to the lord then came peter to him to the lord and he said i'll shall my brother sin and he said i'll shall my brother sin against me and i forgive him against me and i forgive him to seven times to seven times and i have to ask myself and i have to ask myself oh which is if oh which is if that's your attitude which is not that's your attitude which is not um seven times do you do you think uh uh richard that that's uh enough to forgive richard that that's uh enough to forgive somebody somebody your brother if they sin against him your brother if they sin against him well if the answer is yes well if the answer is yes i don't know when christ is going to i don't know when christ is going to come back come back but i'm pretty sure that i'm going to fail more than seven times before he comes more than seven times before he comes back back and so what am i going to do if i've had and so what am i going to do if i've had that if i've got that attitude that if i've got that attitude and my seven times are up and my seven times are up and it sounds like peter was saying and it sounds like peter was saying lord seven times i i think that's enough lord seven times i i think that's enough uh uh he asked the question how many times he asked the question how many times said i said i uh my brother sent against me and i'll uh my brother sent against me and i'll forgive him uh forgive him uh what about seven seven times very strong with each other and trying to and trying to encourage provoking one another to good encourage provoking one another to good works in christ there's enough hands out in that world of the stopping that can interfere us of the stopping that can interfere us from getting into the kingdom we can't be hospitable or hospitable or giving giving i i just came to my mind i can't think of just came to my mind i can't think of where it is where it is and and god says god says you you you approach unto your brother you you you approach unto your brother with the closed fists the lord says for with what judgment ye judge judge he shall be judged he shall be judged and with what measure he met and with what measure he met it shall be measured unto you again so likewise shall my heavenly father do also unto you also unto you if ye from your hearts forgive not if ye from your hearts forgive not everyone his brother their trespasses wonder if we if we really take that verse very seriously verse very seriously well well with that saying that to me if i don't if i got something against my brother brother or sister and i don't want to forgive him don't want to forgive him i mean that's it for me i mean that's it for me according to according to what this verse is said neither will what this verse is said neither will your heavenly father forgive you your your heavenly father forgive you your trespassing and you if you're not trespassing and you if you're not forgiven forgiven that sounds like a saying to me that sounds like a saying to me um you workers of iniquity i know you not depart from me that's a judgment scene i depart from me that's a judgment scene i don't want to hear that don't want to hear that and i'm sure you don't want to hear it and i'm sure you don't want to hear it in any way in any way whatever we do to each other whatever we do to each other how awful we may think it may be how awful we may think it may be you're not going to remember that anyway you're not going to remember that anyway in the kingdom there's not going to be in the kingdom there's not going to be no those fleshly ideas in the kingdom no those fleshly ideas in the kingdom it's all behold i make all things new it's all behold i make all things new well well for my understanding i don't i don't for my understanding i don't i don't think we're going to be think we're going to be well at the judgment scene well at the judgment scene but but what do you think you're going to what what do you think you're going to what are you going to be thinking about are you going to be thinking about you're going to be thinking about you're going to be thinking about somebody that did something to you and somebody that did something to you and you couldn't forgive them what are you you couldn't forgive them what are you going to be thinking about when we when going to be thinking about when we when we meet christ we meet christ i i doubt it i i doubt it i don't think anybody is going to be i don't think anybody is going to be thinking about what thinking about what so-and-so did to me i don't i don't so-and-so did to me i don't i don't think that's going to be on our mind think that's going to be on our mind and hopefully i pray that it it won't be and hopefully i pray that it it won't be on our minds let us not depart from the hope of the gospel of our lord gospel of our lord and and may we also remember his commandment may we also remember his commandment a new commandment i give unto you a new commandment i give unto you that ye love one another that ye love one another as i have loved you as i have loved you that ye also love one another

uncle richard jesus says we're in a tough spot richard jesus says we're in a tough spot if we're not going to forgive our if we're not going to forgive our brothers because brothers because that's i

if you don't forgive trespasses then you're not going to be forgiven you're not going to be forgiven i have a course to do i have a course to do well it's not a well it's not a question but you you may think i'm uh i can't think of the word that i want to i can't think of the word that i want to use but i'm going to say it anyway and use but i'm going to say it anyway and that is that is is there anything is there anything that one of our children can do that one of our children can do to make us stop loving them do you uh and and i would like to believe it and and and i would like to believe it and and i do believe and i do believe i don't think that uh i don't think that uh uh our children whatever they do to us uh our children whatever they do to us that they could they would cut our love that they could they would cut our love especially when you know the truth especially when you know the truth and um i am so so i try to keep that i try to keep that well i don't have no problem with well i don't have no problem with forgiving anybody nobody done nothing to forgiving anybody nobody done nothing to me anyway for me to forgive them for me anyway for me to forgive them for anyway so anyway so um um but um i i i don't believe that my son could do anything to me to make me stop loving anything to me to make me stop loving him uh him uh the door is always open to him even the door is always open to him even though that he hasn't accepted though that he hasn't accepted uh uh the things that we know and that we the things that we know and that we believe in and even though believe in and even though he knows he knows because i taught him because i taught him the basics and he knows the basics and he knows but but uh uh we communicated with with each other we communicated with with each other and i never uh i i we remind him from and i never uh i i we remind him from time to time i don't beat him over the time to time i don't beat him over the head head he knows what a road i'm on and he knows what a road i'm on and everything he knows and i'm not getting everything he knows and i'm not getting off this road off this road the way of christ the way of christ and he and he knows that and he respects and he and he knows that and he respects me and he knows that i love him and he knows that knows that um time is short um time is short but i'm not going to uh losing the sleepover in this if i can use that what i mean by that is that use that what i mean by that is that i just i just keep him in my prayers keep him in my prayers and and keep the door open and and keep the door open and i called him up often and i called him up often and i said just let me let me know if and i said just let me let me know if you're okay call me up so even if you say hi doing dad i'm okay dad i'm okay and that's it that's fine with me the door will never be shut and i don't think our lord will shut the and i don't think our lord will shut the door on us either i think that final judgment is going to be at the judgment scene be at the judgment scene and we just got to look like christ said to love one another and love one another and not not with just our mouth with just our mouth but in actions you know but in actions you know you know of anybody that that's sick or you know of anybody that that's sick or any and we do good on that that's that's any and we do good on that that's that's that's wonderful i think our pleasure is that's wonderful i think our pleasure is that loving ecclesia i don't think that loving ecclesia i don't think there's nobody in there's nobody in on this earth that's loved more than i on this earth that's loved more than i am am by my brothers and sisters values and that means a lot to me and uh uh uh it's sometimes i just get lost for words but uh
