1
00:00:00,283 --> 00:00:03,024
The message to children today

2
00:00:03,024 --> 00:00:04,162
and to the world

3
00:00:04,162 --> 00:00:05,891
in all the advertising, everything,

4
00:00:05,891 --> 00:00:08,362
it's: trust ourselves, 
trust your own heart,

5
00:00:08,362 --> 00:00:10,702
believe in yourself.

6
00:00:10,702 --> 00:00:12,591
And I guarantee you this,

7
00:00:12,591 --> 00:00:17,541
nothing will so divide and 
damage the church

8
00:00:17,541 --> 00:00:21,421
as people of that mindset.

9
00:00:21,421 --> 00:00:23,781
It's destructive.

10
00:00:23,781 --> 00:00:25,700
Nothing will create disunity

11
00:00:25,700 --> 00:00:28,220
like people running around in the church

12
00:00:28,220 --> 00:00:30,113
with a love of self

13
00:00:30,113 --> 00:00:32,912
and believing in themselves,

14
00:00:32,912 --> 00:00:34,852
believing that they're something,

15
00:00:34,852 --> 00:00:37,194
believing that they're 
God's gift to the church -

16
00:00:37,194 --> 00:00:41,054
(incomplete thought)

17
00:00:41,054 --> 00:00:43,421
those who have a love of self,

18
00:00:43,421 --> 00:00:44,530
love of power,

19
00:00:44,530 --> 00:00:45,832
love of supremacy,

20
00:00:45,832 --> 00:00:47,669
love of superiority,

21
00:00:47,669 --> 00:00:49,411
the desire to be something.

22
00:00:49,411 --> 00:00:50,691
You remember those words?

23
00:00:50,691 --> 00:00:52,022
They always jump out at me.

24
00:00:52,022 --> 00:00:55,000
Jeremiah 45:2, "Thus said the Lord,

25
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,942
the God of Israel to you, O Baruch,

26
00:00:58,942 --> 00:01:01,980
'Do not seek great things for yourself.

27
00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:03,991
Seek them not.'"

28
00:01:03,991 --> 00:01:06,862

Humility Necessary for the 
Christian to Work Properly.
