What is that office again you must say I'm not into rules man a list of facts we. Turn our New Year and welcome to the t.v. You may be wondering about all the noise going on behind me and no it isn't our city council in session and now we're at a beauty school where animals of all shapes and sizes are trained in the art of obedience which by no small coincidence is the theme of our show obedience and. So sit tight in Walgett Stars in 2 shakes of a rabbit stick. He thanks for listening to plug in. The group Old Dominion is classified as a country band but you'll also hear a variety of other musical influences at work on their al. I'm happy endings including rock Neo folk and hip hop as well as the tip of the straw hat to island icons Jimmy Buffet and Jack Johnson. The band sound is a new school country affair the stories they tell are decidedly more old school loving and losing drinking and hoping but mostly losing and drinking however there are some positive moments that show up and offer a happy ending or 2 so I'm giving happy endings a 2 and a half out of 5 for family friendliness for the full review visit us a plugged in dot com slash radio I'm Bob all just keep our focus on the family but do.

Club dot org slash radio. All right so today we're talking about obedience and to help give us perspective on the subject I've asked Conny Kendall to give me. Ok Can I roll over what roll over and get it try sitting up that too hard for you how about playing it you kidding well what if I wasn't and I'd suggest you get each team doing any of those things not surprisingly I couldn't get Eugene to do any of those things you so much your point my point is a lot of us think that obedience is switching off our brains and taking orders like we sometimes expect our pets to take orders and that's why we're here at foo foo to be in school. Why are really here to show that there's a lot more to a B.D.'s than we think here in the people of God. Ok here are the basic Rules 10 Commandments that we have to follow and then I've got a few supplemental books about relationships hygiene things like that but don't get to those later anyway we have to follow these rules exit use me there what is it from you I'm not into rules man law I mean in the long run what are rules but one person imposing on another it's not my trip. These are from God I can dig it but you know what if I'm not interested in rules look look looks like we'll we've got a lot of people taking a long trip across the wilderness to the promised land so it's simple follow these rules you'll live disobey them you'll die there's no other way you're so black and white man you got a better plan was I just figured we'd. Hang out kind of do our own thing wander around you know yeah you can try it out if you want cool. Water water I need water I'm just a little food maybe I musta left mine in my other code. Anybody had a few crumbs here I may be a little sun screen or something can anybody help out I've got this rash sin. Maybe I'd better talk to Moses about those rules. Is see in the Old Testament Israel was a nation fighting for its very existence in a wild and brutal country direct obedience to God and His laws was vital because to disobey was sometimes the difference between life and death that's why God often required a no questions asked just do as I say obedience from his people it's. One of like a parent with a child. Touch that burger how many times have I told you not to play near that open. Door crossing the street. That. Brush after every meal Don't forget to fasten your seat belt. Hi and welcome to a live on location candid conversation with funny today I'm talking to Mr Flint the owner of the obedience school Mr please call me Hank. Yeah Hank who phoned you got a problem with it. Ok. Tell me about your obedience school it's a school of the train Jana most to be obedient Why Why Why Why do animals need to be obedient day is a silly question they need to be obedient because we tell him what's the point of being a big bowl of we can bus around things like animal that there are no other reason that's. Why yet sorry not you I'm talking to the dogs. Another thing we should remember about the audience God isn't only asking us just to obey him he's asking us to trust him enough to obey Him we have to trust that he has good reasons to ask for our b.d.s. In the process of trusting and obeying God sometimes makes us change our thinking about the world about ourselves even about him take the story of Gideon for example for him being obedient meant going against good sense. Getting in you know you realize that the Midianite army must have at least 154923 men and be Israelites only 32000 men you're very accurate that means that they outnumber us 4.84 to one don't you think we might have a slight technical problem here being there is a. I'm with those numbers. J.t. Have I'm glad you sing it my way now I propose that we have too many men yes yes just what I was going to say that the Army has positively to watch too many yes we have too many men we need to lose 22000. Didn't you hear me I just said that we were outnumbered 22000 men is 68.75 percent of our I mean really we can't posed any the odds are what astronomically against us where did you get this crazy idea higher up and I do mean higher up. So how do we decide who goes in who stays whoever is afraid let him leave you could think there are 22000 people who are scared. Ok that was one thing I knew that most of the Army go Oh now you have all of us Marine from the river What are you trying to do God has another adjustment in mind glad you brought that up you see 30 percent of the remaining men thought the idea was crazy 30 percent thought the idea was to be really crazy and 30 percent of charity was really really really really crazy what about the other 10 percent they were in too much shock to respond to our public opinion poll we had a problem with our numbers you're right there are still too many men whites maybe you didn't tell me I thought I heard you. God will separate the men for us at the river to those men with their faces in the water. Yes looks like 123. 9700 of them you want them to stay No they're the ones that God wants to lead sheeting releasing a whole army not quite see all the ones drinking from their hands they're the ones who stay there's only. Exactly 300. We're going to canst Cozens and thousands of media Knights of the 300000000 that's right why you have some sort of a cattle. Actually God has already come up again. Spending time to bring you the constant Briony about not a competition it's the thrill of history and the agony of bare feet this is the engine move for Hello I'm your host Bob booth there in the booth and on the field is my co-host Bob Field Bob thank you Bob We're here at the site of the 10th annual illwill games in the beautiful valley of gestural where today's historic event is getting underway let's go to ringside announcer Bob referee did this call this weekend hundreds of thousands of fans it's.

Here we go it is winter when we determine. The tropics they test track your pitcher but there are touches inside to hold on maybe it's a running away and try to get a word with one of them excuse me. Nicely put sorry Bob it seems to be running for his life I believe of all the money Midianites have been routed overcome bank which another league defeated by a bunch of guys with trumpets I want to make sure you got to get Got to got the pulling this one off Bob you're right Bob and I was up on the Hill will games in the Pinnacle Valley tester field in the field I'm hoping you'll tune in for the next ancient world but. Other times God forces us to re-evaluate our pride prestige and position as he did with a man named name and take it away wit There once was a commander of the army an army named carded maybe is that. Name. Look at Target would tell you. Exactly but anyway Damon was not only the commander of the army but he was good friends with the keen to name him you know paying.

You were created and placed in paradise but God gives you one rule you must not eat from the tree the center of the garden but that sense that you should stay clear of the tree because God said so eat the fruit of the forbidden tree and invite a serpent around for supper or see circled the tree repeatedly name a couple of animals and try to imagine what fig leaves are for.

Name and received little help from the king and was preparing to go home when surprisingly the great prophet heard what had taken place and sent a message to King George dear King Sure send naman to me a fix him right up your surely ally ship Well look what you waiting for naman go see him carry while we wait 1st what tight looks better with his pants this one of this one. So name then and his servants went to see you like. You do what is that off hand did you forget Sergio Durant again you know oh I see that river there but. George.

The Jordan River but that's just plain ridiculous he seemed never like these disgusting lies you can just wave your hand over me make it go away yeah if you want that abracadabra kind of stuff you're in the wrong book well thank you I does make sense if all I had to do was take a bath I could do that in Damascus there are much nicer rivers there the by far for and how could they they and that filthy cure me anyway I refuse a name beside himself with great joy in my angry Yami to plan to go home still a selected with his leprosy. Naman left on my show in a ring but his servants ran to catch up with her name and I know that for a man of your position. Would be in the baddest thing and Carruthers Perhaps this is what God is calling your didn't build. The DNS by handling it if it is right if I had asked you to do some great heroic act to be here you would have done it sure I'd have fought off a whole army or a race to carry in the Jordan 500 I didn't spend the holidays with my in-laws and yet this is simpler than all of the groups are be cracked after thinking about it for a time but. Well. It's. Good you speed it up we're short on time Ok Ok I'll be obedient and washing the young Jordan River 7. Time's up get me my rubber ducky plays so name and did just as a lie you had said and when he came out. Saying just skins as keen and soft as a baby's leg. Scheme must have been the power of God because it sure wasn't a river name and was so happy to hear you all for the gifts to a boy talk please take the gold and silver incense a close the a a I'm missing an outfit now as shortly as a lot of lives I would not accept any gifts telling Na-Na Na-Na Na-Na come out Ok then can I ask a gift from you please allow me to take some earth from his place so I can take it back home with me for I will never again present any offerings to any gods but York delight should consider. Banking. Out fairly soon nice if you will my sitting given the news it was he was a dirt cheap to. This is John a reward for the t.v. . So obedience is the result of trust born of the hope that the one we trust is also the best person to be obeyed but there's one other part of the b.d.s. We haven't talked about yet and it's probably the most important. Chapter 14 1st and Jesus said If you love me keep my commandments in chapter 14 1st 24 if anyone lost. My. Father. And he will come to me with he who does not love me will not obey my teaching of course Jesus could say all that because he was the old timid example of obedience. Is tempted your attitude should be the same as fan of Christ Jesus who being in the very nature of God did not consider equality with God something to be grasped. Made Himself not taking the very nature of the service. Life. And being found in appearance as a man He humbled himself and became a desk even get props.

After hearing a hymn sung over and over as a child I distinctly remember my Sunday school teacher convulsing in laughter when I showed her a picture I had drawn of the furry creature featured in at him at the top of the page I had printed the creature's name gladly. It's a bear I said she collapsed in laughter when she saw the way I had drawn the eyes and realized this was the infamous gladly The cross-eyed bear for weeks little Tommy kept telling his teacher about the baby brother or sister that was expected at his house one day the mother allowed Tommy to feel the movements of the unborn child Tommy was obviously impressed but he made no comment Furthermore he stopped telling his teacher about the upcoming event Finally the teacher asked Whatever became of the baby brother or sister you were expecting at home Tommy burst into tears and confessed I think Mommy ate it I have 6 grandchildren and sometimes I wonder what goes on in their heads sometimes they get it wrong but most of the time their simple view of life is right on I still remember my grandson Bailey bowing his head one day and saying this short profound prayer the Lord is my shepherd that's all I want Amen that may be the shortest best sermon I've ever heard this is Ken Davis lighten up and live.
