PASTOR MATT HAGEE: TODAY WE
00:00:11.270 --> 00:00:14.270
CHOOSE THIS THEME OF SPORTS
00:00:14.270 --> 00:00:15.280
BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY
00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:17.030
APPLICATIONS THAT COME FROM IT
00:00:17.030 --> 00:00:18.280
THAT WE CAN APPLY
00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:20.080
TO THE PURPOSE AND THE PLAN
00:00:20.080 --> 00:00:21.180
THAT GOD HAS FOR FATHERS.
00:00:21.180 --> 00:00:24.010
TODAY WE SET ASIDE THIS SERVICE
00:00:24.010 --> 00:00:25.250
AND THIS MOMENT TO ENCOURAGE
00:00:25.290 --> 00:00:28.290
SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
00:00:28.290 --> 00:00:29.280
PEOPLE ON THE PLANET TODAY,
00:00:29.280 --> 00:00:32.120
DAD.
00:00:32.120 --> 00:00:34.010
I BELIEVE THAT FATHERS ARE
00:00:34.010 --> 00:00:36.020
INDEED THE MOST VALUABLE
00:00:36.020 --> 00:00:37.190
PLAYERS ON THE HOME TEAM.
00:00:37.190 --> 00:00:40.190
WHILE THEY'RE EVER MORE NEEDED;
00:00:40.190 --> 00:00:42.080
THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE
00:00:42.080 --> 00:00:44.100
UNDER ATTACK.
00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:45.210
LOOK AT THE CULTURE
00:00:45.210 --> 00:00:46.110
THAT WE LIVE IN.
00:00:46.110 --> 00:00:46.290
WATCH THE PROGRAMMING
00:00:46.290 --> 00:00:48.020
THAT'S AVAILABLE ON TELEVISION.
00:00:48.020 --> 00:00:49.240
LISTEN TO THE CONVERSATIONS,
00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:51.080
AND DAD IS MARGINALIZED,
00:00:51.080 --> 00:00:52.280
AND DAD IS PUSHED
00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:53.290
TO THE BACK BURNER,
00:00:53.290 --> 00:00:54.250
AND DAD IS THE BIG BUFFOON
00:00:54.250 --> 00:00:56.270
IN THE ROOM.
00:00:56.270 --> 00:00:58.180
HE'S NOT THE LEADER THAT GOD
00:00:58.180 --> 00:01:00.130
CALLED HIM TO BE.
00:01:00.130 --> 00:01:01.070
HE'S NOT THE PERSON THAT GOD
00:01:01.070 --> 00:01:02.270
ORDAINED HIM TO BE.
00:01:02.270 --> 00:01:04.000
HE'S NOT THE ONE IN TO WHOM GOD
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.110
HAS ENTRUSTED THE FUTURE.
00:01:06.110 --> 00:01:08.230
BUT DAD,
00:01:08.230 --> 00:01:09.140
IF YOU'RE HERE TODAY OR
00:01:09.140 --> 00:01:10.140
YOU'RE WATCHING BY TELEVISION,
00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:11.230
I WANT YOU TO KNOW WE NEED YOU.
00:01:12.220 --> 00:01:15.220
YOUR CHILDREN NEED YOU.
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:19.000
(APPLAUSE)
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:21.000
LET'S READ PSALM 127:1
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:23.180
THROUGH 5 TOGETHER.
00:01:23.180 --> 00:01:24.170
IF YOU'RE THERE, SAY, AMEN.
00:01:24.170 --> 00:01:25.290
[Amen.]
00:01:25.290 --> 00:01:27.040
"UNLESS THE LORD
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:28.230
BUILDS THE HOUSE,
00:01:28.230 --> 00:01:30.180
THEY LABOR IN VAIN
00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:32.040
WHO BUILD IT.
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:33.120
UNLESS THE LORD GUARDS THE CITY,
00:01:33.120 --> 00:01:36.080
THE WATCHMAN STAYS AWAKE
00:01:36.080 --> 00:01:38.040
IN VAIN.
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:39.130
IT IS VAIN FOR YOU TO RISE UP
00:01:39.130 --> 00:01:41.160
EARLY, TO SIT UP LATE,
00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:43.270
TO EAT THE BREAD OF SORROWS;
00:01:43.270 --> 00:01:46.130
FOR SO HE GIVES HIS BELOVED
00:01:46.130 --> 00:01:48.200
SLEEP.
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:49.240
BUT CHILDREN ARE A HERITAGE
00:01:50.100 --> 00:01:53.100
FROM THE LORD.
00:01:53.100 --> 00:01:54.160
THE FRUIT OF THE WOMB
00:01:54.160 --> 00:01:56.230
IS A REWARD.
00:01:56.230 --> 00:01:58.090
LIKE ARROWS IN THE HAND
00:01:58.090 --> 00:02:00.040
OF A WARRIOR,
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:01.050
SO ARE THE CHILDREN
00:02:01.050 --> 00:02:02.220
OF ONE'S YOUTH.
00:02:02.220 --> 00:02:04.130
HAPPY IS THE MAN WHO HAS
00:02:04.130 --> 00:02:06.180
HIS QUIVER FULL OF THEM.
00:02:06.180 --> 00:02:08.120
THEY SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED,
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:10.170
BUT SHALL SPEAK
00:02:10.170 --> 00:02:11.190
WITH THEIR ENEMIES IN THE GATE."
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:14.200
HEAVENLY FATHER,
00:02:14.200 --> 00:02:16.060
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORD TODAY.
00:02:16.060 --> 00:02:18.200
THANK YOU FOR THE LIGHT THAT IT
00:02:18.200 --> 00:02:20.180
PROVIDES ON THE JOURNEY THAT WE
00:02:20.180 --> 00:02:22.130
WALK IN THIS LIFE.
00:02:22.130 --> 00:02:24.090
NOW OPEN OUR HEARTS TO HEAR AND
00:02:24.090 --> 00:02:26.000
OUR MINDS TO RECEIVE THIS TRUTH
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:27.230
THAT WHEN WE LEAVE THIS PLACE,
00:02:27.230 --> 00:02:29.290
EVERY FATHER IN THIS SANCTUARY
00:02:29.290 --> 00:02:32.130
WOULD BE ENCOURAGED,
00:02:32.130 --> 00:02:33.270
IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS.
00:02:33.270 --> 00:02:35.290
WE ALL SAID, PRAISE THE LORD.
00:02:35.290 --> 00:02:38.050
[Praise the Lord!]
00:02:38.050 --> 00:02:38.220
YOU MAY BE SEATED.
00:02:38.220 --> 00:02:41.130
DAD,
00:02:41.130 --> 00:02:42.020
I MENTIONED EARLIER THAT YOU
00:02:42.020 --> 00:02:43.070
ARE NEEDED.
00:02:43.070 --> 00:02:45.000
AND I WANT TO TELL YOU VERY
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:46.010
CLEARLY, YOUR SONS NEED YOU.
00:02:46.270 --> 00:02:49.270
YOUR SONS NEED YOU TO SHOW THEM
00:02:49.270 --> 00:02:52.090
HOW A REAL MAN OF GOD LIVES
00:02:52.090 --> 00:02:54.030
HIS LIFE.
00:02:54.030 --> 00:02:55.160
THEY NEED YOU TO SHOW THEM SOME
00:02:55.160 --> 00:02:57.130
VERY BASIC PRINCIPLES LIKE HARD
00:02:57.130 --> 00:02:59.190
WORK PAYS OFF AND HOW TO LOVE
00:02:59.190 --> 00:03:02.140
THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL
00:03:02.140 --> 00:03:03.190
OF YOUR HEART,
00:03:03.190 --> 00:03:04.180
WITH ALL OF YOUR SOUL,
00:03:04.180 --> 00:03:05.250
AND WITH ALL OF YOUR STRENGTH.
00:03:05.250 --> 00:03:08.010
NOT ONLY DO YOUR SONS NEED YOU,
00:03:08.010 --> 00:03:09.100
BUT YOU'RE DAUGHTERS NEED YOU.
00:03:09.100 --> 00:03:11.150
THEY NEED YOU TO BE ABLE TO
00:03:11.150 --> 00:03:13.090
EMBRACE THEM SO THAT YOUR ARMS
00:03:13.090 --> 00:03:16.020
ARE A PLACE WHERE THEY FIND
00:03:16.020 --> 00:03:17.070
CONFIDENCE, AND COMFORT,
00:03:17.070 --> 00:03:18.190
AND STRENGTH.
00:03:18.190 --> 00:03:19.250
THEY NEED YOU TO SHOW THEM THAT
00:03:19.250 --> 00:03:21.190
REAL MEN LOVE THEIR WIVES
00:03:21.190 --> 00:03:24.160
AND THAT REAL MEN HONOR
00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:26.130
THE HOUSEHOLD.
00:03:26.130 --> 00:03:28.020
NOT ONLY DO YOUR CHILDREN NEED
00:03:28.020 --> 00:03:29.090
YOU, BUT YOUR CHURCH NEEDS YOU.
00:03:29.090 --> 00:03:32.070
WE NEED YOU, AS MEN OF GOD,
00:03:32.070 --> 00:03:34.040
TO MAKE AN IMPACT
00:03:34.040 --> 00:03:35.020
IN THE COMMUNITY.
00:03:35.020 --> 00:03:36.080
WE NEED YOU TO MAKE BEING
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:38.050
A GODLY MAN THE MOST POPULAR
00:03:38.050 --> 00:03:40.040
THING IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
00:03:40.150 --> 00:03:43.150
NOT ONLY DOES YOUR CHURCH
00:03:43.150 --> 00:03:44.150
NEED YOU,
00:03:44.150 --> 00:03:45.240
BUT GOD IN HEAVEN NEEDS YOU.
00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:48.130
GOD NEEDS YOU TO CAST YOUR
00:03:48.130 --> 00:03:50.080
CARES UPON HIM WHEN THE WEIGHT
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.030
OF THE WORLD IS GREATER THAN
00:03:52.030 --> 00:03:53.050
YOU SHOULD BEAR.
00:03:53.050 --> 00:03:54.260
YOU NEED TO KNOW GOD DID NOT
00:03:54.260 --> 00:03:56.040
INTEND FOR A MAN TO GO THROUGH
00:03:56.040 --> 00:03:57.170
THIS LIFE AND CARRY THE LOAD
00:03:57.170 --> 00:03:59.000
ON HIS OWN.
00:03:59.000 --> 00:03:59.230
GOD WANTS TO CARRY IT FOR YOU
00:03:59.230 --> 00:04:02.000
IF YOU'LL TRUST HIM WITH IT.
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:04.150
WE NEED YOU TO REMEMBER THAT
00:04:04.150 --> 00:04:05.180
THE HOME TEAM IS THE IMPORTANT
00:04:05.180 --> 00:04:08.010
TEAM.
00:04:08.010 --> 00:04:08.250
YOUR HOME TEAM IS NOT
00:04:08.250 --> 00:04:10.230
THE PEOPLE YOU WORK WITH.
00:04:10.230 --> 00:04:13.060
YOUR HOME TEAM IS NOT THE GUYS
00:04:13.060 --> 00:04:15.020
YOU USED TO PLAY FRIDAY NIGHT
00:04:15.020 --> 00:04:16.260
LIGHTS WITH.
00:04:16.260 --> 00:04:18.230
YOUR HOME TEAM IS THE WIFE AND
00:04:18.230 --> 00:04:21.040
THE CHILDREN THAT GOD GAVE YOU.
00:04:21.050 --> 00:04:24.050
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT TEAM.
00:04:24.050 --> 00:04:26.280
TODAY I'M WEARING THE COLORS
00:04:26.280 --> 00:04:28.110
OF CORNERSTONE WARRIORS.
00:04:28.110 --> 00:04:30.050
WHY?
00:04:30.050 --> 00:04:30.190
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE MY KIDS
00:04:30.190 --> 00:04:32.050
GO TO SCHOOL.
00:04:32.050 --> 00:04:33.120
THESE ARE THE COLORS THEY WEAR.
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:35.260
IT'S AT CORNERSTONE CHRISTIAN
00:04:35.260 --> 00:04:37.020
SCHOOLS THAT MY CHILDREN
00:04:37.020 --> 00:04:38.190
ARE LEARNING THE FUNDAMENTALS
00:04:38.190 --> 00:04:40.210
OF WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN IN LIFE.
00:04:40.210 --> 00:04:43.140
IT'S NOT JUST AT SCHOOL;
00:04:43.140 --> 00:04:44.170
IT'S ALSO AT HOME.
00:04:44.170 --> 00:04:45.240
BUT AS A FATHER,
00:04:45.240 --> 00:04:46.200
I THANK GOD FOR A SCHOOL
00:04:46.200 --> 00:04:48.170
THAT COMPLIMENTS MY PARENTING,
00:04:48.170 --> 00:04:50.150
DOES NOT COMPETE WITH
00:04:50.150 --> 00:04:52.030
MY PARENTING.
00:04:52.030 --> 00:04:53.080
WHY?
00:04:53.080 --> 00:04:54.080
BECAUSE MY FAMILY
00:04:54.080 --> 00:04:55.190
IS MY FRANCHISE.
00:04:55.190 --> 00:04:58.020
MY KIDS AND MY GRAND KIDS,
00:04:58.020 --> 00:04:59.220
THEY'RE MY DYNASTY.
00:04:59.220 --> 00:05:02.140
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING
00:05:02.140 --> 00:05:03.130
TO TELL THE WORLD WHETHER
00:05:03.130 --> 00:05:04.140
OR NOT I WAS AN ADEQUATE COACH
00:05:04.140 --> 00:05:06.240
IN THIS LIFE.
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.120
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT WHEN THEY
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:10.120
LEAVE MY HOUSE,
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:11.190
THEY'RE GOING TO ENGAGE IN THE
00:05:11.190 --> 00:05:13.010
WINNER-TAKE-ALL GAME OF LIFE
00:05:13.010 --> 00:05:15.020
WHERE WINNERS AND LOSERS ARE
00:05:15.020 --> 00:05:16.290
THE ONES WHO UNDERSTAND SUCCESS
00:05:16.290 --> 00:05:19.020
AND FAILURE.
00:05:19.020 --> 00:05:21.030
YOU NEED TO KNOW, DAD,
00:05:21.030 --> 00:05:22.120
YOU HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE
00:05:22.120 --> 00:05:25.030
TO PREPARE YOUR FAMILY WITH THE
00:05:25.030 --> 00:05:26.180
FUNDAMENTALS OF WHAT IT TAKES
00:05:26.180 --> 00:05:28.050
TO SUCCEED WITH THE TREMENDOUS
00:05:28.050 --> 00:05:30.000
CHALLENGES THAT THEY'RE GOING
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:31.000
TO FACE IN THIS WORLD THAT
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:32.220
IS NOT FAIR.
00:05:32.220 --> 00:05:35.140
WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO TRY
00:05:35.140 --> 00:05:37.030
AND MAKE EVERYTHING FAIR.
00:05:37.030 --> 00:05:38.190
WE DON'T WANT ANY WINNERS
00:05:38.190 --> 00:05:39.240
OR LOSERS.
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:40.160
WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO BE
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:42.030
RECOGNIZED ABOVE ALL OF
00:05:42.030 --> 00:05:43.100
THEIR PEERS.
00:05:43.100 --> 00:05:44.030
BUT THAT MIGHT BE SOMETHING
00:05:44.030 --> 00:05:45.130
THAT IS IN A POLITICALLY
00:05:45.130 --> 00:05:46.140
CORRECT CULTURE,
00:05:46.140 --> 00:05:47.110
BUT THAT IS NOT
00:05:47.110 --> 00:05:48.190
IN THE REAL WORLD.
00:05:48.190 --> 00:05:49.290
IT'S WONDERFUL TO CHEER
00:05:49.290 --> 00:05:51.050
FOR OUR FAVORITE TEAMS.
00:05:51.050 --> 00:05:52.280
EVERYONE CHEERS WHENEVER
00:05:52.280 --> 00:05:54.100
THE NBA CHAMPIONSHIP GETS TO SEE
00:05:54.100 --> 00:05:56.200
YOUR HOME TEAM RAISE
00:05:56.200 --> 00:05:57.270
THE TROPHY,
00:05:57.270 --> 00:05:58.180
WHEN YOUR ALMA MATER'S PLAYING
00:05:58.180 --> 00:05:59.280
IN THE BOWL GAME.
00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:01.020
BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW,
00:06:01.020 --> 00:06:02.020
NO MATTER HOW MANY HUNDREDS
00:06:02.020 --> 00:06:03.090
OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE FILL
00:06:03.090 --> 00:06:04.230
THE STADIUM,
00:06:04.230 --> 00:06:05.180
NO MATTER HOW MANY MILLIONS
00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:07.010
WATCH OVER TELEVISION,
00:06:07.010 --> 00:06:08.110
NO MATTER HOW MANY PARADES THEY
00:06:08.110 --> 00:06:10.050
THROW IN CELEBRATION
00:06:10.050 --> 00:06:11.090
OF THE VICTORY;
00:06:11.090 --> 00:06:12.060
VERY SOON THAT VICTORY IS GONE,
00:06:12.060 --> 00:06:14.240
THAT MOMENT IS PAST
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:16.060
AND THE SEASON IS OVER.
00:06:16.060 --> 00:06:18.210
BUT WHEN IT COMES
00:06:18.210 --> 00:06:19.080
TO YOUR CHILDREN,
00:06:19.080 --> 00:06:20.140
THE SEASON OF LIFE
00:06:20.140 --> 00:06:21.210
IS NEVER OVER.
00:06:21.210 --> 00:06:24.060
AND HOW YOU TRAINED THEM WHEN
00:06:24.060 --> 00:06:25.150
THEY WERE YOURS IS HOW WELL
00:06:25.150 --> 00:06:27.130
THEY'RE GOING TO PLAY
00:06:27.130 --> 00:06:28.270
IN THE FUTURE.
00:06:28.270 --> 00:06:30.160
THERE IS NO OFF SEASON FOR DAD.
00:06:30.220 --> 00:06:33.220
YOU'VE GOT TO TRAIN YOUR FAMILY
00:06:33.220 --> 00:06:35.000
TO WIN.
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:35.150
YOU'VE GOT TO PREPARE THEM FOR
00:06:35.150 --> 00:06:36.180
THE CHALLENGES THEY'LL FACE.
00:06:36.180 --> 00:06:37.250
YOU'VE GOT TO BUILD A TEAM OF
00:06:37.250 --> 00:06:40.070
WARRIORS AT HOME THAT WILL BE
00:06:40.070 --> 00:06:42.230
WORLD CHANGERS WHEN THEY LEAVE.
00:06:43.010 --> 00:06:46.010
AND IF THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN,
00:06:46.010 --> 00:06:47.020
YOU'VE GOT TO REMEMBER WHERE
00:06:47.020 --> 00:06:48.140
GREATNESS COMES FROM.
00:06:49.130 --> 00:06:52.130
IF YOU WANT TO BUILD
00:06:52.130 --> 00:06:53.050
A GREAT FAMILY,
00:06:53.050 --> 00:06:54.000
YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW THAT
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:55.040
GREATNESS COMES FROM ONE SOURCE
00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:57.080
AND ONE SOURCE ALONE,
00:06:57.080 --> 00:06:58.110
AND THAT IS GOD ALMIGHTY.
00:06:58.110 --> 00:07:01.030
"UNLESS THE LORD BUILD
00:07:01.030 --> 00:07:03.000
THE HOUSE,
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:03.290
THEY LABOR IN VAIN
00:07:03.290 --> 00:07:05.230
WHO BUILD IT."
00:07:05.230 --> 00:07:06.100
DAD, YOUR LIFE WILL NOT WIN
00:07:06.100 --> 00:07:08.190
UNLESS GOD IS THE FOUNDATION
00:07:08.190 --> 00:07:10.020
OF LIFE.
00:07:10.020 --> 00:07:10.240
YOUR CHILDREN WILL HAVE
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:11.250
NO BASIS UNLESS GOD
00:07:11.250 --> 00:07:13.220
IS THE FOUNDATION OF THE HOME.
00:07:13.220 --> 00:07:15.030
YOUR MARRIAGE WILL NOT OVERCOME
00:07:15.030 --> 00:07:16.180
CHALLENGES UNLESS GOD
00:07:16.180 --> 00:07:18.160
IS THE ANCHOR THAT YOU BUILD
00:07:18.160 --> 00:07:20.080
YOUR MARRIAGE UPON.
00:07:20.080 --> 00:07:21.050
YOUR FAMILY HAS NO FOUNDATION
00:07:21.050 --> 00:07:23.190
UNLESS THE LORD BUILD THE HOUSE.
00:07:25.110 --> 00:07:28.110
NOW LISTEN TO THE NEXT WORDS,
00:07:28.110 --> 00:07:30.160
"THEY LABOR..."
00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:31.280
SAY THAT WITH ME.
00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:33.030
"THEY LABOR..."
00:07:33.030 --> 00:07:35.070
THE POINT IS VERY CLEAR;
00:07:35.070 --> 00:07:36.160
IN LIFE, YOU WILL LABOR.
00:07:36.260 --> 00:07:39.260
AND THAT'S AN IMPORTANT LESSON
00:07:39.260 --> 00:07:41.050
FOR DAD TO TEACH TO HIS FAMILY.
00:07:41.230 --> 00:07:44.230
YOU CANNOT GET OUT OF LIFE
00:07:44.230 --> 00:07:46.130
WITHOUT LABOR.
00:07:46.130 --> 00:07:47.020
I KNOW SOME PEOPLE ARE WORKING
00:07:47.020 --> 00:07:48.110
REALLY HARD AT HARDLY WORKING.
00:07:48.110 --> 00:07:51.060
(LAUGHTER)
00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:51.150
DAD, IF YOU TEACH YOUR CHILDREN
00:07:51.150 --> 00:07:52.150
ANYTHING,
00:07:52.150 --> 00:07:53.080
TEACH THEM THAT THERE IS
00:07:53.080 --> 00:07:55.030
SOMETHING CALLED A WORK ETHIC.
00:07:55.250 --> 00:07:58.250
THIS WORLD HAS AN OVERWHELMING
00:07:58.250 --> 00:08:00.230
LACK OF REAL WORK ETHIC.
00:08:01.250 --> 00:08:04.250
THERE IS A GENERATION
00:08:04.250 --> 00:08:06.080
OF CAPABLE YOUNG PEOPLE,
00:08:06.080 --> 00:08:07.260
INTELLIGENT YOUNG PEOPLE,
00:08:07.260 --> 00:08:09.120
THAT ARE INSULTED BY THE IDEA
00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:11.200
THAT THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE
00:08:11.200 --> 00:08:12.110
TO PUT OUT EFFORT BEFORE
00:08:12.110 --> 00:08:13.230
ACCOMPLISHMENT IS ACHIEVED.
00:08:13.230 --> 00:08:16.210
DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOUR SON
00:08:16.210 --> 00:08:18.000
OR YOUR DAUGHTER CROSS
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:18.270
THE GRADUATION LINE TO INTRODUCE
00:08:18.270 --> 00:08:20.260
THEM TO W-O-R-K.
00:08:20.260 --> 00:08:23.070
I KNOW IT'S FOUR LETTERS,
00:08:23.070 --> 00:08:24.140
BUT IT'S NOT A FOUL WORD.
00:08:24.140 --> 00:08:27.000
(LAUGHTER)
00:08:27.000 --> 00:08:27.120
TEACH THEM HOW TO TAKE OUT
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:28.180
THE TRASH.
00:08:28.180 --> 00:08:29.130
TEACH THEM HOW TO DO THE DISHES.
00:08:29.130 --> 00:08:31.100
TEACH THEM HOW TO MAKE
00:08:31.100 --> 00:08:32.140
THEIR BED.
00:08:32.140 --> 00:08:33.050
TEACH THEM HOW TO DO
00:08:33.050 --> 00:08:34.110
THE LAUNDRY.
00:08:34.110 --> 00:08:35.010
TEACH THEM HOW TO CUT THE YARD.
00:08:35.010 --> 00:08:37.270
(APPLAUSE)
00:08:37.270 --> 00:08:39.070
IN KEEPING WITH THE THEME
00:08:39.070 --> 00:08:40.090
FOR THE DAY OF SPORTS,
00:08:40.090 --> 00:08:41.140
I TOOK THE TIME TO LOOK THROUGH
00:08:41.140 --> 00:08:43.100
SEVERAL STATISTICS,
00:08:43.100 --> 00:08:44.130
AND SEVERAL STORIES,
00:08:44.130 --> 00:08:45.190
AND SEVERAL ARTICLES ABOUT
00:08:45.190 --> 00:08:47.200
SOME OF THE GREATEST THAT EVER
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:48.270
COACHED OR PLAYED THE GAME.
00:08:48.270 --> 00:08:50.060
I LOOKED AT PROFESSIONAL
00:08:50.060 --> 00:08:51.080
FOOTBALL.
00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:51.240
I LOOKED AT BASEBALL.
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:52.250
I LOOKED AT BASKETBALL.
00:08:52.250 --> 00:08:54.000
I LOOKED AT GOLF.
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.000
I LOOKED AT TENNIS AND ALL
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.120
OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS WHERE WE
00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:57.230
WOULD IDENTIFY GREAT ATHLETES.
00:08:57.230 --> 00:09:00.120
THE THING THAT MADE THESE
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:01.070
INDIVIDUALS HALL OF FAME,
00:09:01.070 --> 00:09:02.280
ALL PRO-CAPABLE ATHLETES IS
00:09:02.280 --> 00:09:05.250
THE FACT THAT RATHER THAN BEING
00:09:05.250 --> 00:09:06.270
EXTRAORDINARILY GIFTED
00:09:06.270 --> 00:09:08.030
AT ONE THING;
00:09:08.030 --> 00:09:09.070
THEY WERE EXTRAORDINARILY
00:09:09.070 --> 00:09:11.010
DILIGENT AT DOING
00:09:11.010 --> 00:09:12.050
THE FUNDAMENTALS.
00:09:12.050 --> 00:09:14.230
THEY MASTERED THE BASICS
00:09:14.230 --> 00:09:16.150
OF THEIR SPORT AND THEY JUST
00:09:16.150 --> 00:09:18.080
EXECUTED IT OVER, AND OVER,
00:09:18.080 --> 00:09:20.220
AND OVER, AND OVER AGAIN.
00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:23.180
AND I GOT EXCITED WHEN I FOUND
00:09:23.180 --> 00:09:24.260
THAT OUT,
00:09:24.260 --> 00:09:25.120
BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:27.020
THE FUNDAMENTALS OF FATHERHOOD
00:09:27.020 --> 00:09:28.210
ARE SOMETHING THAT
00:09:28.210 --> 00:09:29.170
EVERY INDIVIDUAL,
00:09:29.170 --> 00:09:31.010
WHO HAS THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING
00:09:31.010 --> 00:09:32.120
A DAD, CAN DO.
00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.290
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE
00:09:34.290 --> 00:09:35.290
GREAT DADS AND NOT GREAT DADS.
00:09:35.290 --> 00:09:38.180
I BELIEVE THAT
00:09:38.180 --> 00:09:39.090
THERE ARE FATHERS,
00:09:39.090 --> 00:09:40.020
WHO ARE DILIGENT AND FATHERS
00:09:40.020 --> 00:09:41.230
WHO NEED TO BE DILIGENT.
00:09:41.230 --> 00:09:43.140
AND THE GOOD NEWS IS FOR
00:09:43.140 --> 00:09:44.130
FATHERS IS THAT GOD HAS SOME
00:09:44.130 --> 00:09:46.220
FUNDAMENTALS THAT HE WANTS YOU
00:09:46.220 --> 00:09:48.170
TO ACCOMPLISH.
00:09:48.170 --> 00:09:49.280
THE FIRST FUNDAMENTAL IS YOU'VE
00:09:49.280 --> 00:09:51.170
GOT TO READ THE PLAY BOOK.
00:09:51.170 --> 00:09:53.280
YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW
00:09:53.280 --> 00:09:54.290
WHAT THIS SAYS.
00:09:54.290 --> 00:09:56.050
YOU CANNOT ACHIEVE ANYTHING
00:09:56.050 --> 00:09:58.250
WELL IN SPORTS UNLESS YOU ARE
00:09:58.250 --> 00:10:00.250
ON THE SAME PAGE
00:10:00.250 --> 00:10:02.070
AS THE GENERAL MANAGER.
00:10:02.070 --> 00:10:04.190
AND THIS IS THE PLAY BOOK
00:10:04.190 --> 00:10:06.150
FOR THE GENERAL MANAGER
00:10:06.150 --> 00:10:07.140
OF THE UNIVERSE.
00:10:07.140 --> 00:10:09.240
SO THERE'S TWO BASIC
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:10.250
FUNDAMENTALS THAT GOD WANTS YOU
00:10:10.250 --> 00:10:12.150
TO KNOW TODAY, FATHERS,
00:10:12.150 --> 00:10:13.170
AND GOD WANTS YOU TO DO.
00:10:13.170 --> 00:10:14.260
THE FIRST FUNDAMENTAL IS
00:10:14.260 --> 00:10:16.070
HE WANTS YOU TO LOVE.
00:10:16.070 --> 00:10:17.270
SAY THAT WORD WITH ME, LOVE.
00:10:17.270 --> 00:10:20.190
AND THE SECOND FUNDAMENTAL IS
00:10:20.190 --> 00:10:22.010
HE WANTS YOU TO LEAD.
00:10:22.010 --> 00:10:24.020
SAY THAT WORD WITH ME, LEAD.
00:10:24.020 --> 00:10:26.180
LET'S START WITH THE
00:10:26.180 --> 00:10:27.100
FUNDAMENTAL OF LOVE.
00:10:27.100 --> 00:10:29.060
THE FIRST THING THAT HE WANTS
00:10:29.060 --> 00:10:30.080
YOU TO DO IS LOVE THE LORD
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.230
YOUR GOD WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART,
00:10:31.230 --> 00:10:33.140
WITH ALL OF YOUR SOUL,
00:10:33.140 --> 00:10:34.230
WITH ALL OF YOUR MIND,
00:10:34.230 --> 00:10:36.040
AND WITH ALL OF YOUR STRENGTH.
00:10:36.040 --> 00:10:37.250
DAD, YOU'VE GOT TO LOVE THE LORD
00:10:37.250 --> 00:10:39.130
IN SUCH AN OUTLOUD WAY
00:10:39.130 --> 00:10:41.090
THAT YOUR KIDS WILL LEARN
00:10:41.090 --> 00:10:42.190
TO LOVE HIM TOO.
00:10:42.190 --> 00:10:44.100
THEY'VE GOT TO SEE YOU READ THE
00:10:44.100 --> 00:10:45.260
WORD AND APPLY IT TO YOUR LIFE.
00:10:45.260 --> 00:10:47.250
THEY'VE GOT TO HEAR YOU PRAY
00:10:47.250 --> 00:10:49.140
YOUR PRAYERS AND GIVE GOD
00:10:49.140 --> 00:10:50.250
THANKS WHEN THEY'RE ANSWERED.
00:10:50.250 --> 00:10:52.020
THEY'VE GOT TO WATCH YOU COME
00:10:52.020 --> 00:10:53.180
TO THE HOUSE OF GOD AND LIFT
00:10:53.180 --> 00:10:54.260
YOUR HANDS AND PRAISE THE LORD,
00:10:54.260 --> 00:10:56.200
SO THAT THEY'LL BEGIN TO HUNGER
00:10:56.200 --> 00:10:58.070
AND THIRST AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS,
00:10:58.070 --> 00:10:59.270
BECAUSE THE FIRST GOD THAT
00:10:59.270 --> 00:11:01.140
THEY'LL EVER KNOW IS THE ONE
00:11:01.140 --> 00:11:03.010
YOU INTRODUCE THEM TO.
00:11:03.010 --> 00:11:04.180
GOD EXPECTS EVERY MAN TO LEAD.
00:11:04.180 --> 00:11:06.260
THE BIBLE SAYS THAT THE HEAD
00:11:06.260 --> 00:11:08.000
OF THE WIFE IS THE HUSBAND
00:11:08.000 --> 00:11:09.210
JUST AS CHRIST IS THE HEAD
00:11:09.210 --> 00:11:10.290
OF THE CHURCH.
00:11:10.290 --> 00:11:12.290
DAD, YOU NEED TO KNOW
00:11:12.290 --> 00:11:14.010
THAT THE THING THAT QUALIFIES
00:11:14.010 --> 00:11:15.100
YOU TO LEAD IS YOUR ABILITY
00:11:15.100 --> 00:11:17.050
TO FOLLOW.
00:11:17.050 --> 00:11:19.140
IF YOU ARE FOLLOWING CHRIST,
00:11:19.140 --> 00:11:21.030
YOU'RE QUALIFIED TO LEAD,
00:11:21.280 --> 00:11:24.280
BECAUSE EVERY GREAT COACH
00:11:24.280 --> 00:11:26.160
IS ALWAYS COACHABLE.
00:11:27.100 --> 00:11:30.100
HE NEVER STOPS BEING A STUDENT
00:11:30.100 --> 00:11:32.000
OF THE GAME.
00:11:32.000 --> 00:11:32.240
AND AS A FATHER,
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:33.210
YOU WILL NEVER STOP BEING
00:11:33.210 --> 00:11:35.070
A STUDENT OF THE GAME OF LIFE.
00:11:35.070 --> 00:11:37.290
THIS IS WHY HEBREWS TELLS US,
00:11:37.290 --> 00:11:39.120
"LOOKING UNTO JESUS,
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:40.230
THE AUTHOR AND THE FINISHER
00:11:40.230 --> 00:11:41.270
OF OUR FAITH."
00:11:41.270 --> 00:11:43.070
THAT MEANS THAT WE LOOK TO HIM
00:11:43.070 --> 00:11:44.220
BECAUSE HE IS OUR EXAMPLE.
00:11:44.220 --> 00:11:46.150
WE ARE TO DO WHAT HE DID.
00:11:46.150 --> 00:11:49.110
WHEN JESUS WAS ON THIS EARTH,
00:11:49.110 --> 00:11:50.270
THE WAY THAT HE TAUGHT HIS
00:11:50.270 --> 00:11:51.280
DISCIPLES WAS SIMPLY BY SHOWING
00:11:51.280 --> 00:11:54.050
THEM WHAT TO DO.
00:11:54.050 --> 00:11:55.050
HE DIDN'T TELL THEM TO PRAY;
00:11:55.050 --> 00:11:56.200
HE SHOWED THEM TO PRAY.
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.240
HE DIDN'T TELL THEM TO MINISTER;
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:00.140
HE SHOWED THEM WHAT MINISTRY
00:12:00.140 --> 00:12:01.260
LOOKED LIKE.
00:12:01.260 --> 00:12:03.100
AND THEN THEY WENT
00:12:03.100 --> 00:12:04.010
AND DID WHAT THEY SAW.
00:12:04.010 --> 00:12:06.240
SO THE KIND OF LEADERSHIP
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.000
THAT GOD WANTS YOU TO HAVE WITH
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:09.080
YOUR FAMILY IS THE KIND
00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:10.170
OF LEADERSHIP THAT LEADS
00:12:10.170 --> 00:12:12.070
BY EXAMPLE.
00:12:12.070 --> 00:12:14.220
GOD WANTS YOU TO LEAD
00:12:14.220 --> 00:12:15.250
BY THE EXAMPLE OF GUARDING
00:12:15.250 --> 00:12:17.290
YOUR FAMILY.
00:12:17.290 --> 00:12:19.110
HE LOOKS AT YOU
00:12:19.110 --> 00:12:20.060
AS THE PROTECTOR.

ALL YOU HAD TO DO TO PROTECT

LOCK THE GATE AND LOAD THE GUN.
00:12:29.010 --> 00:12:30.180
EVERYTHING WAS FINE.
00:12:30.180 --> 00:12:32.100

00:13:31.180 --> 00:13:32.180
TECHNOLOGY HAS MADE PROTECTION
00:13:32.180 --> 00:13:34.130
A LOT MORE DIFFICULT.
00:13:34.130 --> 00:13:37.030
NOW, THE WORLDWIDE WEB
00:13:37.030 --> 00:13:38.140
WILL LET ALL KINDS OF CREATURES
00:13:38.140 --> 00:13:40.130

00:13:40.130 --> 00:13:41.150
THAT YOU WOULDN'T LET STAND
00:13:41.150 --> 00:13:42.220
ON YOUR FRONT PORCH.
00:13:42.220 --> 00:13:45.060
BUT YOU'VE STILL GOT TO BE
00:13:45.060 --> 00:13:46.070
DILIGENT IN LEADING YOUR FAMILY
00:13:46.070 --> 00:13:48.050
BY PROTECTING THEM.
00:13:48.050 --> 00:13:50.160
THAT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE GOT TO
00:13:50.160 --> 00:13:51.110
KNOW WHAT THE WIFI PASSWORD IS,
00:13:51.110 --> 00:13:53.080
AND YOU'VE GOT TO PUT A LOCK
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:54.100
ON THE REMOTE.
00:13:54.100 --> 00:13:55.110
YOU'VE GOT TO PUT SPYWARE
00:13:55.110 --> 00:13:56.160
ON THE PC AND A GPS IN THE CAR.
00:13:56.190 --> 00:13:59.190
YOU'VE GOT TO PUT A POLYGRAPH
00:13:59.190 --> 00:14:00.240
ON THE BABYSITTER WHEN SHE
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:01.260
WALKS THROUGH THE DOOR AND
00:14:01.260 --> 00:14:03.060
A BACKGROUND CHECK AND A PRIVATE
00:14:03.060 --> 00:14:04.120
INVESTIGATOR ON THE BOYFRIEND
00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:05.260
WHEN HE RINGS THE DOORBELL.
00:14:05.260 --> 00:14:07.260
(LAUGHTER)
00:14:07.260 --> 00:14:08.140
HIRE A MEDIATOR TO NEGOTIATE
00:14:08.140 --> 00:14:10.090
THE TRUTHS REGARDING WHAT YOUR
00:14:10.090 --> 00:14:11.230
TEENAGERS ARE GOING TO WEAR,
00:14:11.230 --> 00:14:13.030
AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO DO
00:14:13.030 --> 00:14:13.260
THEIR HAIR,
00:14:13.260 --> 00:14:14.090
AND THE MUSIC THAT THEY LIKE
00:14:14.090 --> 00:14:15.020
TO LISTEN TO.
00:14:15.020 --> 00:14:16.030
AND REMEMBER YOU WERE A TEENAGER
00:14:16.030 --> 00:14:17.170
ONCE TOO.
00:14:17.170 --> 00:14:19.100
(LAUGHTER)
00:14:19.100 --> 00:14:19.260
FIFTY YEARS AGO,
00:14:19.260 --> 00:14:20.160
YOU ACTUALLY HAD TO HAVE
00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:21.140
A CONTRACT WITH A TELEVISION
00:14:21.140 --> 00:14:22.230
NETWORK TO BE ON TV.
00:14:22.230 --> 00:14:24.130
NOW, IF YOU'VE GOT A CELL PHONE,
00:14:24.130 --> 00:14:25.270
YOU ARE YOUR OWN PERSONAL
00:14:25.270 --> 00:14:27.050
TELEVISION NETWORK,
00:14:27.050 --> 00:14:29.110
WHICH MEANS THAT, DAD,
00:14:29.110 --> 00:14:30.080
YOU'VE GOT TO PAY ATTENTION TO
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:32.000
EVERYTHING YOUR KIDS ARE DOING
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:33.270
SO THAT YOU CAN GUARD THEM,
00:14:33.270 --> 00:14:35.210
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES
00:14:35.210 --> 00:14:37.050
TO LEAD THEM.
00:14:37.050 --> 00:14:39.010
NOT ONLY DO YOU GUARD THEM,
00:14:39.010 --> 00:14:40.120
BUT YOU GUIDE THEM.
00:14:40.160 --> 00:14:43.160
GUIDANCE REQUIRES THAT YOU HAVE
00:14:43.190 --> 00:14:46.190
A PRESENCE OF DIRECTION
00:14:46.190 --> 00:14:49.030
IN THEIR LIFE.
00:14:49.030 --> 00:14:51.120
THERE ARE A LOT OF DADS
00:14:51.120 --> 00:14:52.120
THAT CHOOSE THE ROLE OF,
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:53.170
I'M JUST GOING TO LET THE KIDS
00:14:53.170 --> 00:14:54.220
CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES.
00:14:54.220 --> 00:14:55.280
THAT'S NOT WHAT'S INTENDED.
00:14:56.250 --> 00:14:59.250
YOU GUIDE THEM
00:14:59.250 --> 00:15:02.010
IN THEIR DECISIONS.
00:15:02.010 --> 00:15:04.290
ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT
00:15:04.290 --> 00:15:05.250
HAPPENS WHENEVER YOU HEAR
00:15:05.250 --> 00:15:07.000
MESSAGES LIKE THIS IS
00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:08.040
THAT THERE'S TWO CHOICES.
00:15:08.040 --> 00:15:09.150
SOME MEN LOOK BACK
00:15:09.150 --> 00:15:10.250
AT THE CHILDHOOD THAT THEY HAD
00:15:10.250 --> 00:15:12.040
AND THE FATHER THAT RAISED THEM,
00:15:12.040 --> 00:15:13.200
AND OTHERS LOOK FORWARD.
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.100
MEN, I UNDERSTAND
00:15:16.100 --> 00:15:17.110
THAT NOT EVERYBODY HAD
00:15:17.110 --> 00:15:18.210
A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR A DAD.
00:15:18.210 --> 00:15:20.060
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU
00:15:20.060 --> 00:15:21.060
CAN'T BE ONE.
00:15:21.060 --> 00:15:22.210
YOU HAVE A HEAVENLY FATHER,
00:15:22.210 --> 00:15:23.250
WHO WAS A FABULOUS EXAMPLE.
00:15:23.250 --> 00:15:25.170
HIS WORD IS TRUTH.
00:15:25.170 --> 00:15:26.220
AND THE TRUTH OF HIS WORD
00:15:26.220 --> 00:15:27.210
SIMPLY STATES THAT ALL THINGS
00:15:27.210 --> 00:15:29.280
BECOME NEW TO THOSE
00:15:29.280 --> 00:15:31.020
WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS.
00:15:31.020 --> 00:15:33.050
THAT MEANS THAT WHATEVER
00:15:33.050 --> 00:15:34.020
HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE
00:15:34.020 --> 00:15:35.080
BEFORE YOU CAME TO THE CROSS,
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:36.160
IT ALL CHANGED RIGHT AFTER THAT,
00:15:36.160 --> 00:15:38.200
AND YOU CAN BECOME THE MAN
00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:40.000
OF GOD THAT HE CALLED YOU TO BE
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:41.260
REGARDLESS OF WHAT YESTERDAY
00:15:41.260 --> 00:15:43.050
HAD IN IT.
00:15:43.050 --> 00:15:45.030
(APPLAUSE)
00:15:45.030 --> 00:15:46.250
AND YOU SAY, "WELL,
00:15:46.250 --> 00:15:47.270
THAT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY,
00:15:47.270 --> 00:15:48.230
PASTOR MATT.
00:15:48.230 --> 00:15:49.140
LOOK AT THE DAD YOU HAD."
00:15:49.140 --> 00:15:51.040
LET ME TELL YOU,
00:15:51.040 --> 00:15:52.250
YESTERDAY IS SOMETHING EVERYONE
00:15:53.040 --> 00:15:56.040
HAS GOT TO DECIDE TO GET OVER.
00:15:56.040 --> 00:15:58.260
YOU CAN SHRUG YOUR SHOULDERS
00:15:58.260 --> 00:15:59.290
AND SAY, "DAD DIDN'T HUG ME,
00:15:59.290 --> 00:16:01.140
SO I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HUG
00:16:01.140 --> 00:16:02.080
MY KIDS."
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:02.270
OR YOU CAN HUG YOURS
00:16:02.270 --> 00:16:03.210
WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT.
00:16:03.210 --> 00:16:06.080
(APPLAUSE)
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:06.170
YOU CAN TEACH YOUR KIDS
00:16:06.170 --> 00:16:07.270
THAT FORGIVENESS IS THE KEY
00:16:07.270 --> 00:16:09.110
THAT UNLOCKS DOORS
00:16:09.110 --> 00:16:11.040
AND BUILDS BRIDGES;
00:16:11.040 --> 00:16:13.250
AND THAT THE WORST THING THAT
00:16:13.250 --> 00:16:14.290
THEY'LL EVER DO IS HOLD
00:16:14.290 --> 00:16:16.180
A GRUDGE.
00:16:16.180 --> 00:16:18.240
GRUDGES KILL FAMILIES.
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:22.080
GRUDGES DISSOLVE GENERATIONS
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.040
OF TRUST.
00:16:25.040 --> 00:16:27.250
YOU SAY, "WELL AGAIN,
00:16:27.250 --> 00:16:28.140
THAT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY."
00:16:28.140 --> 00:16:30.180
I WANT TO SHOW YOU A PICTURE
00:16:30.180 --> 00:16:31.200
OF SOME PRETTY IMPORTANT MEN
00:16:31.200 --> 00:16:33.100
IN MY LIFE.
00:16:33.100 --> 00:16:35.290
STANDING NEXT TO THIS HANDSOME
00:16:35.290 --> 00:16:37.090
EIGHT YEAR OLD --
00:16:37.090 --> 00:16:38.250
(LAUGHTER)
00:16:38.250 --> 00:16:41.190
-- IS OBVIOUSLY MY FATHER.
00:16:41.190 --> 00:16:44.040
AND THIS IS MY GRANDFATHER.
00:16:44.040 --> 00:16:46.180
THAT PICTURE OF HIM WAS
00:16:46.180 --> 00:16:47.200
IN OCTOBER OF 1987,
00:16:47.200 --> 00:16:50.040
AND HE PASSED AWAY A YEAR LATER
00:16:50.040 --> 00:16:52.060
IN OCTOBER OF 1988.
00:16:52.280 --> 00:16:55.280
NOW, I DIDN'T HAVE A WHOLE
00:16:55.280 --> 00:16:57.250
LOT OF TIME ON THIS EARTH
00:16:57.250 --> 00:16:59.090
WITH MY GRANDFATHER.
00:16:59.090 --> 00:17:01.110
I DIDN'T KNOW HIM AS WELL
00:17:01.110 --> 00:17:03.060
AS PEOPLE WHO KNEW HIM ALL
00:17:03.060 --> 00:17:05.020
OF HIS LIFE.
00:17:05.020 --> 00:17:05.240
BUT THE TIME THAT I HAD,
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:07.110
I CHERISHED.
00:17:07.110 --> 00:17:08.250
MOST OF IT, WE WERE FISHING,
00:17:08.250 --> 00:17:10.050
WE WERE HUNTING,
00:17:10.050 --> 00:17:11.090
WE WERE AT FAMILY EVENTS.
00:17:11.090 --> 00:17:12.210
IT WAS GREAT TO BE AROUND
00:17:12.210 --> 00:17:14.230
GRANDPA.
00:17:14.230 --> 00:17:15.240
HE AND I HAD A VERY COMMON
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:17.030
THING THAT WE LOVED AND THAT
00:17:17.030 --> 00:17:18.280
WAS BEING OUTDOORS ON THE LAKE.
00:17:18.280 --> 00:17:21.000
WHATEVER WE COULD DO TO GO
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.190
OUTSIDE, THAT'S WHERE WE WERE.
00:17:22.190 --> 00:17:25.190
NOW IN THE TIME THAT HE'S
00:17:25.190 --> 00:17:26.240
PASSED,
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:27.150
I'VE GOTTEN TO KNOW HIM BETTER
00:17:27.150 --> 00:17:29.090
BECAUSE I HAD A FATHER WHO
00:17:29.090 --> 00:17:30.120
HELPED FILL IN THE BLANKS.
00:17:30.130 --> 00:17:33.130
AND WHAT I KNOW ABOUT MY
00:17:33.130 --> 00:17:34.120
GRANDFATHER IS THAT HE DID LOVE
00:17:34.280 --> 00:17:37.280
THE LORD WITH ALL OF HIS HEART.
00:17:37.280 --> 00:17:40.010
AND HE LOVED GOD'S WORD.
00:17:40.010 --> 00:17:42.120
AND HE GAVE SIX DECADES OF HIS
00:17:42.120 --> 00:17:44.030
LIFE TO PREACHING GOD'S WORD,
00:17:44.030 --> 00:17:46.170
WINNING OTHERS TO CHRIST.
00:17:47.110 --> 00:17:50.110
BUT WHAT I DIDN'T KNOW AND
00:17:50.110 --> 00:17:51.120
FOUND OUT LATER IS THAT HE GREW
00:17:51.120 --> 00:17:53.100
UP IN SUCH A LEGALISTIC
00:17:53.100 --> 00:17:56.070
PENTECOSTAL DENOMINATION
00:17:56.280 --> 00:17:59.280
THAT IT CREATED SUCH A PERSONAL
00:17:59.280 --> 00:18:01.150
TORMENT FOR HIM;
00:18:01.150 --> 00:18:02.280
THAT ENJOYING LIFE WAS
00:18:02.280 --> 00:18:04.170
SOMETHING NOT EASY TO DO.
00:18:05.120 --> 00:18:08.120
HE GREW UP IN SUCH A
00:18:08.120 --> 00:18:09.250
PENTECOSTAL RELIGIOUS STRUCTURE
00:18:09.250 --> 00:18:12.240
THAT THEY HAD SO MANY RULES
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:14.170
THAT THERE WERE 101 WAYS
00:18:14.170 --> 00:18:16.070
TO GO TO HELL,
00:18:16.070 --> 00:18:17.060
AND GOD WAS LOOKING TO SEND YOU
00:18:17.060 --> 00:18:18.150
THERE.
00:18:18.150 --> 00:18:20.240
IT WAS A VERY GRACELESS,
00:18:20.280 --> 00:18:23.280
A VERY HARD WAY TO TRY
00:18:23.280 --> 00:18:26.190
AND BUILD FAITH.
00:18:26.190 --> 00:18:29.160
THE RULES WERE BASED
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:30.130
ON YOUR ABILITY.
00:18:30.130 --> 00:18:31.110
THEY WERE BASED
00:18:31.110 --> 00:18:31.270
ON YOUR STRENGTH.
00:18:31.270 --> 00:18:32.220
THEY WERE NOT BASED
00:18:32.220 --> 00:18:33.170
ON GOD'S GRACE.
00:18:33.170 --> 00:18:35.040
IT WAS MAN MADE RELIGION
00:18:35.040 --> 00:18:36.250
THAT LEFT NO ROOM FOR
00:18:36.250 --> 00:18:38.110
ANY IMPERFECTION IN YOUR
00:18:38.110 --> 00:18:40.050
RELATIONSHIP.
00:18:40.050 --> 00:18:41.020
YOU HAD TO DO ALL THE WORK
00:18:41.020 --> 00:18:42.240
AND GOD WAS LOOKING FOR A REASON
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.200
TO PUNISH YOU.
00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:46.170
YOU SAY, THAT SOUNDS SILLY.
00:18:46.170 --> 00:18:47.270
WHO WOULD BELIEVE SUCH
00:18:47.270 --> 00:18:48.270
A THING?
00:18:48.270 --> 00:18:49.090
BUT THAT WAS ALL THAT HE EVER
00:18:49.090 --> 00:18:50.160
KNEW.
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:52.100
YOU SAY,
00:18:52.100 --> 00:18:52.280
"WELL, HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS;
00:18:52.280 --> 00:18:54.250
HE DIED WHEN YOU WERE NINE?"
00:18:54.250 --> 00:18:57.050
LIKE I SAID,
00:18:57.050 --> 00:18:57.250
"I HAD A DAD WHO FILLED IN
00:18:57.250 --> 00:18:59.150
THE BLANKS."
00:18:59.150 --> 00:19:02.080
WHILE HE GREW UP
00:19:02.080 --> 00:19:03.020
IN THAT RELIGIOUS STRUCTURE,
00:19:03.020 --> 00:19:05.050
IT DIDN'T MAKE HOME LIFE HAPPY
00:19:05.050 --> 00:19:07.020
LIFE IF YOU WERE HIS SON.
00:19:08.050 --> 00:19:11.050
A FEW YEARS AGO,
00:19:11.050 --> 00:19:11.270
DAD AND I WERE TAKING A TRIP
00:19:11.270 --> 00:19:13.090
TO THE RANCH IN WEST TEXAS.
00:19:13.170 --> 00:19:16.170
AND I WAS BRINGING UP GRANDPA.
00:19:16.170 --> 00:19:18.120
EVERY TIME I GO TO THE RANCH,
00:19:18.120 --> 00:19:19.170
I THINK ABOUT MY GRANDFATHER.
00:19:19.170 --> 00:19:20.270
AND I SAID, "DAD,
00:19:20.270 --> 00:19:22.160
IT WOULD IS SURE BE NICE
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:23.190
IF GRANDPA COULD GET A WEEKEND
00:19:23.190 --> 00:19:24.270
PASS FROM HEAVEN AND COME DOWN
00:19:24.270 --> 00:19:26.260
HERE AND GO TO THE RANCH
00:19:26.260 --> 00:19:27.230
WITH US."
00:19:27.230 --> 00:19:29.100
AND I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS
00:19:29.100 --> 00:19:30.020
A SIMPLE COMMENT.
00:19:30.020 --> 00:19:32.290
BUT AFTER A LONG PAUSE
00:19:32.290 --> 00:19:34.060
OF SILENCE,
00:19:34.060 --> 00:19:36.000
PASTOR STARTED TO SPEAK UP.
00:19:36.100 --> 00:19:39.100
AND HE SAID,
00:19:39.100 --> 00:19:39.250
"YOU KNOW THERE WERE DAYS
00:19:39.250 --> 00:19:41.250
AND WEEKS THAT HE WOULDN'T EVEN
00:19:41.260 --> 00:19:44.260
SAY A WORD,
00:19:44.260 --> 00:19:46.180
NOT HELLO,
00:19:46.180 --> 00:19:47.100
NOT GOOD MORNING,
00:19:47.100 --> 00:19:49.010
NOT GOOD NIGHT."
00:19:49.010 --> 00:19:51.120
HE SAID,
00:19:51.120 --> 00:19:51.290
"DID YOU KNOW THAT OUT OF ALL
00:19:51.290 --> 00:19:53.100
THE GAMES OF FOOTBALL THAT
00:19:53.100 --> 00:19:54.180
I EVER PLAYED FROM THE SEVENTH
00:19:54.180 --> 00:19:55.280
GRADE ALL THE WAY THROUGH
00:19:55.280 --> 00:19:57.120
COLLEGE,
00:19:57.120 --> 00:19:59.250
HE NEVER CAME AND SAW ONE PLAY?
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.240
THE NEWSPAPER WOULD HAVE MY
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:05.000
PICTURE ON THE FRONT PAGE AND
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:06.200
HE WOULDN'T READ THE ARTICLE?"
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:09.140
THE CHURCH THOUGHT THAT
00:20:09.140 --> 00:20:10.100
FOOTBALL WAS SIN,
00:20:10.100 --> 00:20:11.180
SO IN ORDER TO STAY HOLY,
00:20:11.180 --> 00:20:12.280
HE IGNORED IT.
00:20:13.110 --> 00:20:16.110
HE SAID,
00:20:16.110 --> 00:20:16.260
"DID YOU KNOW THAT IN THE
00:20:16.260 --> 00:20:17.250
EIGHTH GRADE,
00:20:17.250 --> 00:20:18.170
I WON THE AMERICAN LEGION AWARD
00:20:18.170 --> 00:20:19.280
FOR BEING THE BEST STUDENT
00:20:19.280 --> 00:20:21.040
IN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT,
00:20:21.040 --> 00:20:22.020
FOR BEING THE ACADEMIC LEADER,
00:20:22.020 --> 00:20:24.000
FOR BEING THE ATHLETIC LEADER,
00:20:24.100 --> 00:20:27.100
AND HE NEVER SAID A WORD?"
00:20:27.150 --> 00:20:30.150
AND FOR 30 MINUTES,
00:20:30.150 --> 00:20:32.020
DAD BEGAN TO EXPRESS THE PAIN
00:20:32.020 --> 00:20:34.120
OF THAT CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE
00:20:34.120 --> 00:20:36.070
WHERE HE DIDN'T HAVE THE KIND
00:20:36.070 --> 00:20:37.140
OF FATHER THAT I HAD.
00:20:37.260 --> 00:20:40.260
AND THE MOOD IN THE TRUCK
00:20:40.260 --> 00:20:42.160
AND THE TRIP STARTED TO TURN.
00:20:43.090 --> 00:20:46.090
AND FOR THE NEXT 15 MINUTES,
00:20:46.090 --> 00:20:47.210
WE JUST RODE IN SILENCE.
00:20:47.210 --> 00:20:50.200
AND IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING
00:20:50.200 --> 00:20:51.140
ABOUT ME,
00:20:51.140 --> 00:20:52.050
SITTING IN SILENCE FOR
00:20:52.050 --> 00:20:53.100
15 MINUTES IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE.
00:20:53.170 --> 00:20:56.170
(LAUGHTER)
00:20:56.210 --> 00:20:59.210
AND I KIND OF WHISPERED
00:20:59.210 --> 00:21:00.180
A PRAYER.
00:21:00.190 --> 00:21:03.190
I SAID, "LORD,
00:21:03.190 --> 00:21:04.110
GIVE ME THE WORDS TO SAY."
00:21:04.110 --> 00:21:06.250
AND THEN I STARTED TALKING.
00:21:06.250 --> 00:21:09.110
AND I HOPED IT WAS GOD.
00:21:09.110 --> 00:21:11.200
(LAUGHTER)
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:13.260
AND I SAID, "WELL DAD,
00:21:13.260 --> 00:21:16.240
I GUESS I SHOULD WRITE GRANDPA
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:19.180
A THANK YOU LETTER."
00:21:19.180 --> 00:21:22.020
AND HE SAID, "WHAT?"
00:21:22.020 --> 00:21:24.190
AND I WENT, "OH, LORD."
00:21:24.190 --> 00:21:26.190
(LAUGHTER)
00:21:26.190 --> 00:21:29.060
AND I SAID,
00:21:29.060 --> 00:21:29.260
"I GUESS I SHOULD WRITE HIM
00:21:29.260 --> 00:21:30.140
A THANK YOU LETTER."
00:21:30.140 --> 00:21:32.170
"WHAT FOR?"
00:21:32.220 --> 00:21:35.220
I SAID, "WELL," I SAID,
00:21:35.220 --> 00:21:37.250
"I CAN'T ARGUE WITH THE THINGS
00:21:37.250 --> 00:21:40.060
THAT HAPPENED IN YOUR
00:21:40.060 --> 00:21:42.010
CHILDHOOD."
00:21:42.010 --> 00:21:43.270
I SAID,
00:21:43.270 --> 00:21:44.110
"BUT IF THE WAY HE RAISED YOU
00:21:44.230 --> 00:21:47.230
AND ALL OF THE HURT THAT YOU
00:21:47.230 --> 00:21:49.260
HAD TO ENDURE IS WHAT HELPED
00:21:49.260 --> 00:21:52.150
YOU BECOME THE DAD YOU ARE
00:21:52.150 --> 00:21:55.110
TO ME."
00:21:55.110 --> 00:21:56.290
I SAID,
00:21:56.290 --> 00:21:57.160
"THEN I GUESS I SHOULD WRITE
00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:59.110
A LETTER AND THANK GRANDPA."
00:21:59.270 --> 00:22:02.290
(APPLAUSE)
00:22:10.030 --> 00:22:13.030
"HE NEVER WATCHED YOU PLAY
00:22:13.030 --> 00:22:14.070
A GAME,
00:22:14.070 --> 00:22:17.010
BUT YOU NEVER MISSED ONE
00:22:17.010 --> 00:22:17.280
OF MY PRACTICES.
00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:21.000
THERE'S AN OAK TREE AT HOBBY
00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:23.150
MIDDLE SCHOOL WHERE YOU STOOD
00:22:23.150 --> 00:22:25.260
IN THE SHADE,
00:22:25.260 --> 00:22:27.220
SEVENTH GRADE,
00:22:27.220 --> 00:22:29.050
EIGHTH GRADE,
00:22:29.050 --> 00:22:30.200
AUGUST, SEPTEMBER, OCTOBER,
00:22:31.180 --> 00:22:34.180
EVERY TIME WE CAME OUT OF
00:22:34.180 --> 00:22:35.190
THE TUNNEL, NOT ON GAME DAY;
00:22:36.020 --> 00:22:39.020
JUST TO WATCH A BUNCH OF MIDDLE
00:22:39.020 --> 00:22:40.090
SCHOOL KIDS PLAY CHASE,
00:22:40.090 --> 00:22:43.090
YOU NEVER MISSED.
00:22:43.090 --> 00:22:45.290
HE MIGHT NOT HAVE SAID
00:22:45.290 --> 00:22:47.010
TWO WORDS TO YOU
00:22:47.010 --> 00:22:49.110
AND TOLD YOU HE LOVED YOU,
00:22:49.130 --> 00:22:52.130
BUT THERE'S NEVER BEEN A DAY
00:22:52.130 --> 00:22:53.170
YOU HAVEN'T HUGGED ME,
00:22:53.170 --> 00:22:54.200
AND KISSED ME,
00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:56.090
AND TOLD ME HOW PROUD YOU ARE
00:22:56.090 --> 00:22:57.130
OF ME.
00:22:57.130 --> 00:22:59.180
HE MIGHT NOT HAVE PAID
00:22:59.180 --> 00:23:00.130
ATTENTION --
00:23:00.130 --> 00:23:02.030
(APPLAUSE)
00:23:02.030 --> 00:23:04.210
-- TO THE ARTICLES IN THE SPORTS
00:23:04.210 --> 00:23:05.270
PAGE OR THE ACCOLADES
00:23:05.270 --> 00:23:07.140
AND THE AWARDS.
00:23:07.140 --> 00:23:09.260
BUT DAD,
00:23:09.260 --> 00:23:10.120
YOU CHASED ME AROUND
00:23:10.120 --> 00:23:11.080
THE BACKYARD WITH A VIDEO CAMERA
00:23:11.080 --> 00:23:12.290
WHEN I WAS STILL IN DIAPERS."
00:23:12.290 --> 00:23:15.050
(LAUGHTER)
00:23:15.050 --> 00:23:17.250
"THAT MIGHT NOT BE MUCH
00:23:17.250 --> 00:23:18.230
OF A HIGHLIGHT REEL,
00:23:18.230 --> 00:23:21.050
BUT YOU LET ME KNOW PRETTY
00:23:21.050 --> 00:23:22.000
QUICK, I WAS A HERO.
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:24.220
AND YOU WERE MINE.
00:23:25.080 --> 00:23:28.080
SO I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
00:23:28.080 --> 00:23:29.140
BEING SUCH A FABULOUS FATHER."
00:23:29.150 --> 00:23:32.150
(APPLAUSE)
00:23:57.130 --> 00:24:00.150
REMAIN STANDING.
00:24:00.150 --> 00:24:02.220
MEN, AS FATHERS,
00:24:05.020 --> 00:24:08.020
IT WILL BE WHAT YOU WANT IT
00:24:08.020 --> 00:24:09.240
TO BE,
00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:11.230
NOT WHAT IT HAS BEEN,
00:24:12.040 --> 00:24:15.040
BUT BY GOD'S GRACE,
00:24:15.040 --> 00:24:17.140
WHAT IT SHOULD BE.
00:24:17.140 --> 00:24:20.080
I WANT EVERY FATHER IN
00:24:20.080 --> 00:24:21.020
THIS ROOM TO RAISE THEIR HAND.
00:24:21.020 --> 00:24:22.100
I WANT TO PRAY A PRAYER
00:24:22.100 --> 00:24:23.060
OF BLESSING OVER YOU.
00:24:23.060 --> 00:24:25.270
I WANT YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR
00:24:25.270 --> 00:24:26.230
LOVED ONES TO EXTEND
00:24:26.230 --> 00:24:27.220
THEIR HANDS TOWARDS YOU.
00:24:29.040 --> 00:24:32.040
LORD JESUS,
00:24:32.040 --> 00:24:34.230
YOU ARE OUR EXAMPLE.
00:24:34.230 --> 00:24:37.110
AND YOU HONORED YOUR FATHER
00:24:37.110 --> 00:24:38.220
BY THE LIFE THAT YOU LIVED.
00:24:38.220 --> 00:24:41.060
SO I AM ASKING YOU
00:24:41.060 --> 00:24:42.140
THAT THESE MEN STANDING HERE
00:24:42.140 --> 00:24:44.090
WITH THEIR HANDS RAISED,
00:24:44.090 --> 00:24:46.000
WOULD DECIDE TODAY THAT THEY
00:24:46.000 --> 00:24:47.170
ARE GOING TO LIVE THEIR LIFE
00:24:47.170 --> 00:24:49.010
AND HONOR YOU BY THE WAY
00:24:49.010 --> 00:24:51.180
THAT THEY LIVE.
00:24:51.180 --> 00:24:53.180
GIVE THEM THE COURAGE TO LEAD
00:24:53.180 --> 00:24:55.210
AND LOVE THEIR FAMILIES.
00:24:55.210 --> 00:24:57.040
GIVE THEM THE STRENGTH,
00:24:57.040 --> 00:24:58.140
WHEN THEY'RE WEAK,
00:24:58.140 --> 00:24:59.180
TO STEP FORWARD IN FAITH.
00:24:59.180 --> 00:25:02.030
GIVE THEM HOPE IN THE DARKEST
00:25:02.030 --> 00:25:03.240
HOURS OF DESPAIR,
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:06.040
AND BE THE LIGHT AND THE LAMP
00:25:06.040 --> 00:25:07.250
THAT WALKS THEM THROUGH PATHS
00:25:07.250 --> 00:25:09.110
OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
00:25:09.110 --> 00:25:11.000
FOR YOUR NAME'S SAKE.
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:12.220
EVERY MOUNTAIN OF IMPOSSIBILITY,
00:25:12.220 --> 00:25:14.220
I ASK THAT YOU REMOVE IT;
00:25:14.220 --> 00:25:16.130
EVERY CROOKED WAY.
00:25:16.130 --> 00:25:17.220
THAT YOU WOULD MAKE IT
00:25:17.220 --> 00:25:18.160
STRAIGHT.
00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:19.070
EVERY ENEMY THAT RISES
00:25:19.070 --> 00:25:20.250
AGAINST THEM,
00:25:20.250 --> 00:25:21.150
I PRAY THAT THEY WOULD BE
00:25:21.150 --> 00:25:22.140
DEFEATED,
00:25:22.140 --> 00:25:23.090
IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS;
00:25:23.090 --> 00:25:26.030
AND THAT YOU, HEAVENLY FATHER,
00:25:26.030 --> 00:25:28.080
WOULD BE THE LORD
00:25:28.080 --> 00:25:29.070
OF THEIR LIFE,
00:25:29.070 --> 00:25:30.170
AND THEIR HOME,
00:25:30.170 --> 00:25:31.180
AND THEIR GENERATIONS TO COME
00:25:31.180 --> 00:25:33.220
FROM THIS MOMENT FORWARD.
