Sunday Sermon; Gerald Kennedy

it's been the scripture reading this morning i expected some animals to deal with is the story of a bros complaining which they'd been a good deal all during their journey one of god's fulfillment of a promising made of them to bring in the evening began in the morning prayer the whale came in the evening and they had me

and in the morning they were given what they call mana is a white christening substance they come from the cameras bush falls down in the bible says it looks like or frosty white and where that's their one direction and each man get taken out for himself and for his family and omar but in that day as an all day some people think you know more than god and so they gathered more than enough for a day some of them they set out a window though be any here or moral but the next day when they looked at it it had become foul smelling and red worms and they were being taught that they are to gather this thing just enough for the day i don't think the lesson here and that they should be a prominent on the budget and health care for their families in a very much the same as that phrase in the prayer while arguments thursday our daily bread give us this day

read for the day is a warning that some things cannot be piled up against the future you can't bomb and you can't get a loan you have to gather fresh each day about what i want to talk about the louse morning let me begin by suggesting that we are caught up today in the midst of the problem of security preps more than our fathers not wait we no security where do you find it and who provides at the government are each man for himself you want to start the argument alternate group's director talk about creeping socialism or use the word the welfare state and you have an argument i have a great deal of seven they were this debate because as a real issue and i for one do not see the answer completely at any particular time we debated and we sure i would feel a little bit better at the man who's always

arguing for individual responsibility was in rage it up for for some time again on with the lower his next meal is coming from i don't feel good they're about a divided up that there was a much hypocrisy connected when i hear oh man give a brave speech about everybody being independent and then he gets on the border with her school richard haass ivo and the first any assets how can we get this money from the government how do you go on a great deal of apocalyptic connected with i'm sure what i'm glad the debate goes out because i was so sure that if we are not individually responsible we lose our freedom where do you draw the line what man can tell this will go on through our generation know about this debate and probably longer main thing is it was like angry with each other and we cannot call anyone who differed with us person they come through as mr pursell eyes i don't expect many of you remember that there was a time when british and

people said that insurance will be will they believe it was against the will of god and amana just trust them are not big uninsured i haven't heard that argument for a long time and insurance companies seem to be doing pretty well economically and they say they have plenty of fun so and that i think really second that our father didn't talk so much about retirement because when i retired they die and i'm like we lived for a while after retiring and we're concerned about what we will live on retirement i guess is bad enough under any circumstances but it's much worse if you're poor and so we want to find out some way while we're working to provide security for the time when we retire properties sell and employers tell me that young men are aware of this from the beginning i ought to know about these things when i go to work security is what i love the most of it all as well

as how much and who provides very little legend which seller when it rains came to the reds say are sold by a very gifted and amaze nothing happened until the first man waited a year what we want to do i think is to have a kind of society where no man will be afraid to wade in navy have all of something new and wonderful it won out movies prairie du the faith or straight out the side of a once people for a moment is that there's physical concern for our retirement i live does not deal with the main problems of my life i feel pretty sure about him as i would love to share about the first point is that they'll buzz i feel like you're up i was in scandinavia year to half of all her and i met there in a church conference a wonderful young doctor and his family from

copenhagen we're riding one time up in the mountains of norway i said to him is it through the dam are rather socialize system is just about as good as anything as i think so i said is it also true the copenhagen have the largest suicide rate of any city in the worry that i've heard that it widely that i don't know you said we can explain it and denmark we have a saying in most places of amanda's angry and upset he may kill somebody over here publicly and so we don't know why on ways to banks one thing perfectly clear that if you take down the physical needs of people you haven't dealt with the main problems of being ill and still suicide you feel them behind the iron curtain on money do you have or do you not feel as i do this morning that this is not any advertisement for the happiest way of life as a kind of glue that settled upon such a society to sing the way to make maybe this company my goodness when elise i think you would say i am not meeting it will solve the

main problems of life here and indeed i read in russia that people want some interest on their money when they invest in lao and they liked old some property and they believe a differentiation of salaries that they contribute more to society the fire russian i sure would worry about creeping capitalism well let's turn to the other countries where the democratic primaries were gone farther in this direction grabs and we have and it discovered that this as the answer to the maine problem of being a man i think you are going to find it in england you won't find in new zealand you do not discover any place i think i just saw these main problems on this basis and then i can remember all this is more than a decade ago i guess i wasn't that conference at oxford and a great preacher of london derby saying syria since died he was one of the great voices of the pulpits of london

and he made a speech one night and he addressed particularly the american and some of my colleagues did not like what he said he said enough that you americans are great people you have the highest standard of living of anybody you have more motor cars or machinery monitoring nicer holmes easier than other thing i notice about to write more books and how to be happy than anybody else strange thing when we solved the problem and we somehow have not solved the main problems of our life economics import enough but not the last word solving the physical things imported of jesus said you do not new life metal i thought of it and that's a center i read an interesting statistic the other day in the new york world's fair the first six months of its life but what product that they

sell almost out after him all ought to have only an aspirin tablet sold ten thousand over ten thousand orange flavored for the children we saved to say that the brave new world of lois wonder and all its marble guilfoyle had a troubled wessel leon say this morning with those that are really important to have to be gathered each day you cannot climb up and save them for tomorrow in the years ahead but no no way to do it the way i think they think is an islamic ramos into life if you have ever been in a strange land and suddenly one day you came upon an american flag in the design and deal with all of those to me and i welled up to my heart a sudden one arab idol is an american and that i have this great tradition and i also much less

division why do you suppose it was samuel johnson in the eighteenth century and its famous dictionary defined patriotism as the last refuge of a scalpel they did it because that has now they're manmade or economic then as now they're man or professional patriots there is now no doubt man rapping el salvador flag and sang that everyone viewed as a grave of them is unpatriotic you can't save patriotism for the future you what it knew every generation or you lose it and each day you have to say a fresh all this is what this land means i'm a miserable my obligation to it is what if you tried a substitute old and weary shameless for it in a little laila becomes foul smelling and every word of assimilation and culture on a climate is they study of history says it's someplace never gone where i feel and

look this up so on average they follow a civilizational war don't want the men ran from nowhere but they discovered one day accidentally and they dug away the jungle and on the remains of great buildings in great cities and pioneers is as wild likes to reach a little bit about these things and he said what happened here there came a time as is his interpretation one day service civilization has obtained been obtained in la now we would just sit back and enjoy and then one then there was because nobody cared about sacrifice and nobody care about fighting for its underlying principles and virtues and the donor which all of ways like a beast on the outskirts came up on it down the road is one of the cleanest on the problem a lot of those dr the buildings i can give you a better illustration a more contemporary one i think

when i was a student germany's der there's a great civilized nation if you want to be a scientist you went to germany invited a grave you want to be a philosopher you went to a german university if you want to be a theologian you better have a degree from a german university and overnight historically speaking that radiation burned and beloved barbarism which still shocked says when i read about it and turn itself into the concentration camp and the killing and the slaughter overnight all and civilization the lost that easily happen here of course and happened at a place where people think that their culture and their civilization i think that they may not say if you fight for every day or you know is it fresh every morning or it's taken from you and the church

oriented churches that that the church is always on the edge of extinction a man said that would charge me one time you know that christianity's us last legs and this church when said brother as always oh and we're all as more than one generation of destruction just also to the majority of people think that the things the church band for an important finish you'll win it with every new generation or you lose it and in our own lives of all what is a man's individual life to be compared with it that like being on trial for life every day and wondering if you're going to be acquitted and so women have to live education was out well a blind girl goes to college and four years later get a base apartment that says they're reading kinney i can do a lot is a lonely thing in my life is to see that average student a year later

and had a new ideas of the left you know i did out what's stimulating their minds now become the subversive thing which i turn away from their minds around their own business but not the wide cultural the world it was a wild during a read the reader's digest that there's a body that's about it as if education or something you can wear a man and suddenly you have a plane to matt zoller as you gather afresh every day before you a lot it's taken from a lot of america when i was a pastor i had a good many weddings i never had much trouble or bribed with the grown sometime that's a nervous i don't know if i can make it and i read the other day about a roma were just so nervous he was just a just a frame and thankfully got through the ceremony what he he got four right we get let him through after was over he leave this i really when he says that allers jordan the minister said not

quite certain i have lemon or fifty years just the beginning all marriage has been a lot of fresh every day that's what's to come or somebody you followed you think it happened a while back when it's all over every day is what i know a lot of trash or you know that their natural character oh indeed it is i remember he had a shocking thing to me i'm a man i knew very well was indicted for robbing his company and finally sent to prison i would have trusted that man was my last night live believed in him and he was a good man or be usable as happened in i suppose there came a time when he thought this is all taken care of now all my brother in you and your character afresh every day it's always on trial always uncertain and if you can't do it that way you well

melissa this is a lesson in what was thinking of the children of israel i'm through them to us and threw the bible life was a matter of gathering the values leisure remorse there were the young man who proposed to accrue one nike father start their eyes i saw them on tango once so when he said yes we were a poor boy wiring i think i've won the credit killers five dollars about fifty cents a week you know get much on the iranian government either on the city center her it is laurie big stone and she said it's just a big as we make it the great justice big as we make it or just starting something here he was lying we'll build an all that sludge

and that's what god says to us now the last thing our speaking about this morning is as good news there's good know that information will be there in the morning and will be there he he he will provide it all this as israel's lesson that laura was aurora more insecure people and the hebrews that's your tribe the eastern end of the mediterranean sea surrounded by great enemy in the battle over short period particularly under the idea of somebody going a bentonite all sometimes almost literally not sure the morning i'd still be free that that israel i was in israel year and a half of women even women who are you and i said the real man i was here ten years ago and looked at the one thing you've done every ball right now is that that i've never forgotten the clients that came over him as he said we are two and a half million people

and we're surrounded by fifty million enemies who have sworn to drive us into the city in the straw hats are it hasn't changed much i've always been that way using voters as one of the reasons why it just the great lessons you want to learn you just can't be safe you have to live by faith which you can live by faith for rt is a faithful got a supply or you turn on a note just in an hour or acknowledge warning people not to that then too much on the future are thinking of the state for the future of vision of the day is the valero whereas are offering prayers by the nazis you know he was jail before the allied army could come to him writing your friend and saying no this friend i believe that god will give me strength about the recess but he never gives it to me in a bath us it was myself

and not here live by faith live in ipod one other while we made the lab it will provide every day so i gather it fresh every morning fresh every morning i cannot be saved but i can be saved i must not live cautiously like eleven dangerously i cannot be secure or when i can live out this is the gospel that word npr news two two every man sometime i go i read about a psychologist or so sellers will follow the voting survey that we won teenagers and interview them to see what they thought about their parents are not home and discovery

is governor most of them appreciated the home either advance and disciplined some roles and most of them felt that they had not been treated fairly when they had not had that experience you talk about barrel it really doesn't wear an interview here in new york and she said that when she was a little girl living apartment here on nursery and after their supper tonight youngsters of walk went out played the street and after a little while the mother would come and call them at this child had been going to follow would come on a whistle and there was this child's signal in one by one they would lehman they call and then she said i would wait until it got dark i was there all i wish that somebody would call me and no one ever did and i read that and

i said god doesn't treat us that way he calls us our identity severe very severe areas hope is it will become great happy aw we learn one day that this is not because god hates as well because the lovers and when a man learns of the love of god it's a great discovery of his life and this is the more we say the good news that god loves us and that he is dependable we don't trust him every day they give us so the great values by which we must live if we will just get them fresh every morning sam all univision the like fb
