Why Because He's Helping out on a Limb with a Healthy Man Is Making You Want to Do Things. I Was in Control.

I Got All the Structuring, You Know, We Poured Beer Married to the Strong Letter That I Guess What Ladies This Is Not Can Be Easy to Be Great Because I Believe God Can Speak to A Lot Of Men and Baby Steps, Baby Steps, Little of Time Second Role Men. You Not Only a Leader, Your Priest, a Priest, What a Priest Said Rings Lots of Pictures to Live Our Minds, a Priest, What Was His Definition. He Makes God Known to Priest Us, He Makes God Known You Are the Family Priest Open Your Bibles Will You. Deuteronomy Chapter 6 Letting Him in the Context Deuteronomy Chapter 5 God Gives the 10 Commandments from Mount Sinai. There's Smoke There's an Earthquake There Is Rumbling People Will so in Verse 27 They Come to Moses Missing Moses.

We Have a Great Idea.

Moses Is What's the Idea, How about God Never Shows up like This Again. Ever. Okay This Makes Us Very Uncomfortable Were Out Of Our Comfort Zone Were Scared to Death.

How about You Go Talk to Him and Then Whatever He Tells You You Can Talk to Us and Moses in Verse 28 Goes to God's As I Got to Get Idea. I like to Run It by Any Tells in the Idea Guys and See What Is a Good Idea It Was to and so What Happens Is Moses Becomes What a Priest He Goes and Realizes Who God Is and He Reveals God to the People and Then He Takes the Needs the Hurts and the Fears of the People and Represents Them to God.

This Would Priest Us, He Reveals God to the People He Takes the Needs of the People to Now As Deuteronomy 6 Opens up.

Listen, God Has Told Moses. Moses Is the Priest and Moses Is Going to Give This Mantle Responsibility to the Man to Pass on to Their Sons and Grandsons. The Reason You Have a Pencil As He Goes through about Literally Eight Clear Steps about What a Priest Us at Risk, and Even the Highlights, but It's Not Rocket Science. You Can Figure This out and You Know How to Do so, Follow along.

Let's Read the First Three Verses As Moses the New Priest Is Calling the Men to Be the Priest in Their Homes. Now This Is the Commandment, the Statutes and the Judgments Which the Lord Your God Has Commanded Me That's Moses to Teach You Why That You Might Do Them in the Land. We Are Going over to Possess It so That You and Your Son and Your Grandson Might Fear the Lord, Have Relationship with Him. What You Do, Then to Keep All His Statutes, His Commandments Which I Command You All the Days of Your Life That Your Days May Be Prolonged. Oh Israel. You Should Listen and Be Careful to Do It, That It May Be Well with You and That You May Multiply Greatly. Just As the Lord, the God of Your Fathers Has Promised You What What You Want for What's God's Will Is This a God Whose Arms Are Crossed Towards a Big Black Robe Says Here's the Rolled My Way or the Highway. What's It Saying Look at the Tax. He Says That God May Prolong Your Days Greatly Multiply You and Has Promised You in a Land Flowing with Milk and Honey. See, God Says Moses I Want Them to Hear the Content. This Is Right. This Is Wrong and My Character.

But Moses Make Sure They Get My Heart. I Love I Love These People I've Delivered Them. Make Sure Every Dad Tells Us on Every Son Tells His Son for Generation to Generation to Generation and Make Sure They Do a Couple Things One My Statutes, My Word That No Light but Don't Let Them Get into That Legalism Stuff. Don't Let Them Just Share These Rules Make Sure They Know It Comes from a Guard God Was so Good and so Loving That He Wants to Protect and Given the Very Best See God's Will in This Fallen World Is like a Twisting Highway on a Mountain Road and If You Go over the Highway. It's Painful down There Thousand Foot Problems, and so God Says I Want to Help You Because I Love You and so He Puts Guard Rails on This Winding Highway Guardrail on One Side Is His Commandments Guard Rail. Now the Site Is a Statute and and We Want to Do Is Bump in the Scarborough That's Wrong That's Wrong Why to See If You Go over the Guardrail Get Hurt This in about a God Who Says Here's All the Rules Keep All the Rules Memorize a Stuff. This Is a God Who Says I Have for You Better Figure Deeper and Richer Than You Could Ever Imagine. And I Outlined How to Get There.

So Follow and You Say to Yourself I like to Be a Dad like That I like to Be Priest like That I like to Leave My Family, so That When They Go around the Winding Roads and Difficulties of Life They Would Land. Well, You Say How You Do That, I Say, I'm Glad You Look at Verse Four. You Give Me Some Steps or Get the Pen out Verse Four Says Here Oh Israel, the Lord Is Our God, the Lord Is One. Write down Your Notes or Your Bible Pool Number One and Write Correct Theology. Moses Starts with You to Make Sure You're Worshiping the Right God.

He's Living in a World Where People Are Worshiping Everything. He Says the Lord Our God Is the Great Shema, the Hebrews, This Is What's True. Our God.

Make Sure They Get It Clear Correct Theology Accurate View of God from the Scriptures Doesn't Stop There. Verse Five and You Dad Shall Love the Lord Your God with All Your Heart, with All Your Soul, with All Your Might Put a Little Number Two and Write down Devotion. First of All, Get Him on Right Track with the Right Truth, and Then You before You Say a Word before You Try and Be a Dad You with All Your Heart and All Your Soul, Make Your Number One Devotion Your Relationship with God.

My Kids Need to Grow up Not Because I'm a Pastor, Not Because Your Carpenter Not Because You're a.com Guy.

Not Because You're in Construction.

Your Kids Need to Grow up and Say Yeah That's What He Did Vocationally.

My Dad Was a Man of God. What Was Most Important in My Dad's Life Was His Relationship to Christ and It Has To Have Personal Devotion Know That Nozick Goes on and These Words Which I'm Commanding You Today, Shall Be on Your Heart so Long before Doing Any Parenting Right Theology Personal Devotion Three Word Centered Life.

There You Can't Know God. Apart from the Scripture Is Not in His Fullness. No Way You Want Your Kids Grow Say Hey My Dad and Have a Hobby Center like You Did Have a Workcenter Life. He Did Those Things. He Had a Word Centered Life You Want Your Kids Now and Then to Kinda Sneak in the Bedroom at All. Excuse Me Dad.

They Can't Ship Reading the Bible in the for the Wall Street Journal in before the Sports Page You Want Your Kids Thinking My Dad Was a ESPN Type Guy My Dad Was a Workaholic Type Guy My Dad Was a Softball Holy Type Guy My Dad Was a Real Money Guy You Know What All That Has Made the Biggest Place in the Right Priorities. God Says Word Centered Is If You Don't Have the Resources You Can Give Away the Now Notice It Shifts Number Four What You Do and You Shall Teach Them Diligently to Your Sons Teach the Word Here, As I Do with Formal Training a Little Jewish Boy. By the Time He Hit 12 Had First Five Books of the Old Testament Memorize and Had Formal Instruction in the Dad Was Responsible. God Will Help in the Synagogue That Was Man We Need When Their Little Start with the Picture Bible Books When the Lowly Reading Stories. We Kept Reading Them Stories All with Her Almost Teenage Years of Different Ways and Then They Read Back and Forth of Certain Content. You Need to Have Formal Times Reteach Couple Times A Week around the Dinner Table, Then Take 1012 Minutes, but You Get in the Bible Together and You Teach and You Try Make It Creative Right Guys. How Many of You Been to a Boring Business Meeting.

How Do You like Them Right. How Many Minute Presentations. Your Thinking. We Paid $495 for the Seminar. This Guy Couldn't Keep My Grandmother Away Will Ask Yourself Looking at Times He Would Have around the Table When You Open the Bible, Do It in Such a Way Where Are You Creative, of Course, Your Creative Try Applying That Asking Questions You Some Visuals Think through What He Wanted to Learn Why This Actually Can Be Can Come upon but after You Teach Them Formally Notice the Next One Is Clock with Them When Well When You Sit down in Your House When You Walk by the Way and When You Lie down and When You Rise up.

What's the Point, You Not Only Do Formal Teaching, but Now You Talk This Is Informal Time. This Is When You Ride in the Car in a Talk about Their Boyfriend or the Girlfriend or Why the Coaches Son Is Get the Play Had Them in Their Struggle with Their Attitude When They Know Their Veteran in Your Prejudice Buys Views of Father Thinking. I Know Mike Is and How You Help Them Resolve Resolve It and How You Have the Kind of Attitude God Wants and You Talk When You Rise up.

When You Lie down When You Take Walks in on Vacations and It's Just Woven into Who You Are As a Person You Teach Formally You Talk Informally in the Notice. This Next One. Number Six Is Practice, Practice It in All of Life. Note Notice What It Says and You Shall Bind Them.

Speaking of God's Word As a Sign on Your Hand and They Shall Be As Frontals on Your Forehead and You Shall Write Them on Your Doorpost of Your House and on Your Gates. What's He Saying You Need to Practice Your Word Centered Personal Devotion to God by Teaching by Talking, but in All of Life. What Does It Mean Here Your Hands What the Hands That You're Doing Your Activities, You're in the Garden You're Playing Softball You're on the Computer You Go to Work Your Hands Reflect What's God Word. What's Person What to Look like When a Believer Dad Walks with Christ You Live out You Integrate There Isn't the Church Side of the Devotional Time It's Integrated in Your Activities and in Your Thinking.

That's the Idea Here, Not Now the Pharisees. The Pharisees Took the so Literally That They Would Walk around. Actually, Had like Sunglasses with Versus My Walk around like That I Am Holy I Am Really Holy See Him Getting God's Word and Then When They Memorize the Bunch.

They Had Flat Fees and They Would Put All the Verses in They Would Really Impress People.

The Kids Are Going at Home. Right Gimme a Break, Try Living Dad and That's What He Saying Here in Your Thinking and Then When You Go to Work the Gates of Your House and How Your Home Operates the Doorpost so That It's a Reminder It's Integrated in the Notice What God Promises to His Priests Look at This This Is Fantastic. He Says That It Shall Come about When the Lord Yahweh Your God Brings You into the Land Which He Swore to His Fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to Give to You Great and Splendid Cities Which You Did Not Building Houses Full of Good Things That You Did Not Fill in Human Cisterns, Which You Did Not Dig in Vineyards and Olive Trees Which You Did Not Plant and You Shall Eat and Be Satisfied. Now That's Old Testament Imagery and Very Specific Things. God Promised to Them. Now, Unless You're Really into like Orchards. This Is Not a Real Motivating Passage, but What He Was Saying to Those Fathers Is When You Live Life My Way and You Teach Your Sons so They Teach Their Sons, and You Give Them Correct Doctrine and You Model Personal Devotion. Even the Word Centered Life and You Decided to Be Some Formal Times in Your Home or They Really Get It and Teach It and They Talk about and You Apply and How You Live on Less Your Life Blessed the Socks off of You to Do It Relationally. I May Do a Material Doing Ways That Your Kids Grow up Knowing You Not Know Very Much about Life, but the Way My Dad Let Our Family Seems like the Way to Go Is When I Visit My Friends House.

There's No Data in That House, or If There Is There Argued All the Time, or If There Is Even Seem like Even Cares. And I Noticed That Little Chemistry That My Dad When He Doesn't Think You're Looking Comes Back in around Armonk a Little Pat on the Rear End and Then Gives a Little Kiss and I See That Stuff Dad and Think I'm Looking but I See That Stuff My Dad's a Fulfilled Man My Desk at a Heart Full of Joy and There's Amazing Things It Seems It God Blesses We Have Hardship We Had Struggles but It Seems like God Keeps Coming through. That's What Donald He Want Your Kids to Know His Way Works Doesn't Mean Everything Goes Your Wages. Many Get Rich Communion Every Sick Well Absolutely Not. It Means That the Best Life Possible in a Fallen World. This Taste of the Sod Heaven. You Can Experience Notice the Warning Though Says That God Can Bless Us When We Do It His Way. Then Watch Yourself, Lest You Forget the Lord Who Brought You from the Land of Egypt, Out Of the House of Slavery Says You Know, Be Careful When Life Gets Going, Good. You Don't Focus on the Gifts Instead of the Giver and the Notice of Summary Verse 13.

This Is Where We Get Back. He Started with Passing It on to Be a Priest You Shall Hear Only the Lord, T Yahweh. His Covenant Name, Your God, and You Shall. Here's Our Keyword Worship Him and Swear by His Name Mother's Assigned Guys You Asked Me to Go up on the Mountain Figure Will Gotta Say I Went He Spoke.

I'm Speaking You Do It and He Says You Swear by His Name, Convictions, Commitment, Dependency, Integrity, Loyalty, God and God Alone Be the Focus of Your Heart, Your Life, Your Actions, Your Speech, Your Thinking When You Do the God Who Created All That There Is an with Whom He Would Desire to Spend Eternity with Every Person in This Room, and on This Planet.

If They Receive the Free Gift of Christ That God Wants Bonnie so You Say What Questions Does a Priest Need to Ask How You Get There Linearly.

If You Elect to Play These out for Yourself First. Ask Yourself That My Kids Know God. They Think about That. Ask Your Self Do They Have an Accurate View of God, Your Kids Are Being Bombarded with All the Media All the Stuff All the School Do They Have an Accurate View of God Is Not Given to the Third Question Is Our Home. Honor God by What We See What We Allow in Where Our Values Are with Christ, Walk into Our Home, Sit on the Couch and Say Very Well Done.

I'm Very Comfortable Living with You, Your Values, Your Heart, Your Relationships, How You Deal with Your Anger out What Movies Come on the Screen What You Listen to It Honors Me or We Have To Say, You Know, We Have Thought so You Think You Can Have a Double Standard and Tell Your Kids. This Is How They Ought to Live but You Can't Live This Way. I Guy's Got It Will Work. They Will Never Do What You Say. They Will Always Do What You Do, Then the Question Is Are We Growing in Holiness for the Church's Job. Your Wife Are You or Your Kids Growing in Holiness and Holiness Doesn't Mean Getting a Big Black Bible Where Dark Robes and Be No Fun to Be around Holiness Biblically Needs to Be Winsome Free. Sure the Kind of People Who They Say Man You Are Really Holiness Means It Needs to Be Totally Other Than to Be Different, but Not like Different Weird Different like Wow Winsome a Family That Works. What a Novel Idea, a Loving Relationship between a Teenager and Is Is That Amazing People Have Been Married 20+ Years and Got the Low Point Going There. I May Still Plan We Can What's Going on Here. This Is Un-American.

Scott's Way, Your Focus Men As a Priest Is to Guard Worship That Your Focus Worship. Worship. Worship and What You Say What You Think Worship in the Home and Say What How to Become a Priest in and I Realize Here Guys. The Learning Curve for Some of You, Would You Relax a Little. Just Relax Some. I Mean, When I Started out on This Journey. It Was like Overwhelming.

Let Me Give You Some Practical Ways to Get Going Number One Here on the How to Be a Priest Is Modeling Authentic Worship and Then Let Me Just Shoot It Straight. You Have Time, I Have Time.

Okay, You Can't Be Changed. You Can't Be Transformed You'll Know the Truth. Truth Will Set You Free. You Can Go to Groups You Can Come to Stop. You Can Listen to Stuff until You Get in the Bible for Yourself. You Will Never Be the Main Supposed to Be Authentic Worship Begins, so Begin Reading to the New Testament Say God I Don't Have a Clue What to Do.

Pray for Each One of Your Kids and Your Wife and Get out Your Day Timer and Look through Your Supposed to Meet with and Say I'm Gonna Pray for Each of These Meeting Takes about 15 Minutes You Do That for Year You Come Back and Tell Me What a Lousy Idea.

The Second Is That Let's Not Be the Guy Who People Trying to Drag Out Of Bed to Come to Church, Be the Leader Be the Initiator Set Direction.

I Know It's Not. It's Crazy and Just Say Okay to Eat to Get One Night to Do It and Then Decide Little Prep like You Would Work and Do Something Very Short and Then Just Say Okay You Get the Bible a Little Bit Together and There Were to Pray a Little Bit Together.
