          You   know   what   I&#39;m   just   thinking ?   It&#39;s   so   easy   for   us   to   create   our   own   popes   in   our   lives ,   and   what   I   mean   by   that   is   that   when   we   depend   too   heavily   on   our   pastors   online   preachers ,   whatever   case   to   read   our   Bibles   for   us ,   to   study   our   Bibles   for   us   and   then   tell   us   what   it   says ,   we&#39;re   basically   pulling   our   own   well-being   back   to   pre-William   Tyndale ,   in   other   words ,   like   he   fought   hard   and   ultimately   lost   his   life   so   that   you   and   I   could   sit   down   with   God&#39;s   Word   and   read   it   for   ourselves .   And   I   can&#39;t   help   but   wonder   how   many   people   are   satisfied   letting   someone   else   study   God&#39;s   Word   for   them .

          As   you   all   know ,   friends ,   I   often   highlight   Oscar&#39;s   abysmal   failures   in   life ,   which   all ,   by   the   way ,   traces   our   roots   back   to   the   fact   that   he   daily   consumes   rotten   motor   oil   in   the   form   of   something   he   calls   black   coffee .   That&#39;s   offensive ,   but ,   being   the   ever-merciful ,   gracious ,   tender ,   gentle ,   meek ,   lowly ,   humble   and   selfless   friend   that   I   am ,   today   I&#39;m   going   to   highlight   one   of   the   very   few   victories   in   Oscar&#39;s   life .   Oscar ,   tell   the   people   about   the   recent   basketball   triumph   that   you   coached   your   team   in .

          That&#39;s   not   even   my   victory .   It   was   so   fun   Last   Friday   I   get   to   coach   my   12-year-old   son&#39;s   basketball   and   so   much   fun   with   those   kids .   And   last   Friday   they   were   down   by   12   points   going   into   the   last   quarter   and   I   just   like   I   got   them   together   and   I&#39;m   like ,   hey ,   don&#39;t ,   because   12   points   for   12-year-olds   is   a   lot .   I   mean   for   six   minutes   left   and   I   just   said   don&#39;t   worry   about   the   score ,   stop ,   because   kids   love   to   look   up   at   the   scoreboard   and   it   distracts   them .   So   I&#39;m   like ,   don&#39;t   worry   about   the   score ,   stop   looking   at   it ,   just   pretend   like   you&#39;ve   got   a   0-0   game   and   it&#39;s   six   minutes   long .   Go   win   this   quarter .   And   they   went   out   there   and   got   a   really   good   run   together   and   we   ended   up   winning   by   one   point .

          No ,   no ,   no ,   no .   This   is   just   a   game   like   my   kids   in .   You   know   what   I   mean ,   but   they   ended   up   winning   by   one   point .   It   was   like   almost   a   buzzer   beater .   It   was   like   four   seconds   left   when   we   scored   and   went   ahead .   With   four   seconds   left ,   one   point   victory .

          Okay ,   but   mark ,   the   reason   why   I   said   you&#39;re   a   mystery   to   me   is   that   your   kids   hardly   played   any   organized   sports .   Right ?

So   why ,   though ,   why   didn&#39;t   your   kids   really   play   a   lot   of   sports ?   I   didn&#39;t   push   it   on   them ,   you   know ,   my ,   my   dad   kind   of   vicariously   lived   through   us   with   sports .   Uh ,   I   was   just   heavily   addicted   to   sports .   Yeah ,   I   always   had   a   sports   page   in   my   back   pocket ,   you   know ,   in   high   school   and   even   the   first   couple   years   of   college   well ,   you   wanted   those   statistic   yeah ,   I   just   had   to   know   everything ,   everything   that   every   name   of   your   bookie ,   yeah   and   uh .

          So   how   do   we   get   on   all   that ?   I   just   remembered   I   played   cricket   too .   That   was   coed ,   though ,   right ?   No ,   this   is   cricket ,   and   um ,   I   used   to   go   out   for   a   duck   every   time .

          You   know   what   a   duck   is   no ,   ray   cricket   is   the   most   foreign   thing   in   the   universe ,   yeah ,   so   for   americans ,   cricket   is   when   you   search   for   crickets   and   you   eat   them   no ,   this   is   very   much   it&#39;s   very   much   like   like   baseball ,   but   a   flat   bat   and   you   don&#39;t   run   around ,   you   run   right ,   it&#39;s   not   like   baseball .   They   play   for   like   three   days .   

      </p>

        <cite>Ray Comfort</cite>
      <time>8:59</time>
      <p>
          It&#39;s   more ,   it&#39;s   more   terrifying   than   baseball ,   because   the   ball   is   much   harder ,   it&#39;s   like   a   rock ,   and   it   is .

          Have   you   held   a   cricket   ball ?   It&#39;s   crazy ,   yeah ,   it&#39;s   crazy ,   and   they   don&#39;t   use   gloves   to   catch   right ,   well ,   they   do .   

      </p>

        <cite>Ray Comfort</cite>
      <time>9:09</time>
      <p>
          They   do   use   gloves   and   they   got   masks   and   they   do ,   but   they   have   what&#39;s   called   slips   and   they   stand   around   the   batter   and   it&#39;s   the   most   dangerous   place   to   stand .   And   so   there&#39;s   one   day   cricket ,   which   is   very   exciting .   

      </p>

        <cite>Emeal Zwayne</cite>
      <time>9:19</time>
      <p>
          There&#39;s   three   day   cricket ,   which   is   very   boring   ah   no ,   but   ray ,   I   thought   the   people   out   in   the   field ,   when   they&#39;re   catching   the   ball ,   they   don&#39;t   have   gloves   on .   

      </p>

        <cite>Ray Comfort</cite>
      <time>9:25</time>
      <p>
          Oh ,   they   don&#39;t   yeah ,   that&#39;s   what   I&#39;m   saying .

        <cite>Emeal Zwayne</cite>
      <time>9:27</time>
      <p>
          No ,   the   guy   behind   the ,   behind   the   but   don&#39;t   people   out   in   the   field   catch   the   ball   with   their   bare ?   Hands ,   yeah ,   yeah ,   that   is   human ,   that   is   a   human   hand   rugby   like   football   without   helmet   and   pads ,   and   then   catching   this .   

      </p>

      <p>
          This   basically   a   pool   ball ,   yeah   with   your   bare   hands   well   you   know ,   ray   has   a   hypothesis   as   well   when   it   comes   to   rugby .   With   american   football ,   we   wear   helmets   and   it   gives   us   a   false   sense   of   security   that   we&#39;re   okay ,   that   we   can   run   in ,   and   I   think   he&#39;s   100   right ,   you   know   and   we   start   bashing   each   other&#39;s   heads   in   and   then   we   get   concussions .   Well ,   with   rugby ,   I   see   them   do   the   exact   same   thing ,   but   without   helmets   oh   well ,   not   to   mention   you&#39;ve .

          You&#39;ve   got   a   an   instinct   to   protect   your   head   always   when   you   hit   the   ground   in   american   football   wearing   helmets .   You   hit   the   ground ,   just   bounce ,   and   that&#39;s   why   you   get   the   concussion .   Yeah ,   but   mark ,   do   you   bounce   more   oil ?

I   particularly   love   when   they   sometimes   mention   my   generations ,   generation   z ,   over   use   of   earbuds ,   earbuds   and   refer   to   them   as   two   sewage   pipes   going   into   our   ears .   I   forgot   this   whole   comments   about   ears .

We   used   to   get   buckets   and   buckets   or   bags   of   pennies   yeah   and   uh   it   had   to   be   new   pennies   and   we   put   them   through   this   insane   penny   machine   that   would   always   break   and   when   a   break   it   gets   white   smoke   that   was   poisonous .   Would   come   out   of   it ,   daniel ,   alive   or   horrified ,   because   we   can&#39;t .

          more   of   a   giant .   I   think   that   most   people   realize   I   was   listening   to   Steve   Lawson&#39;s   sermon   about   Tyndale   and   oh ,   it   was   so   good .   I   highly   recommend   it .   If   you   look   it   up   on   YouTube ,   I   just   put   in .

          Should   we   say   who   he   is   for   those   who   don&#39;t   know   Steve   Lawson ,   he&#39;s   not   Tyndale   yeah ,   that&#39;s   where   I   was   heading .

      <p>
          Good ,   yeah ,   so   Steve   Lawson   Just   gives   a   lot   of   good   insight   I   gleaned   from   some   of   it   for   this .   But   yeah ,   tyndale   was ,   he&#39;s   a   old-timer   back ,   born   back   in ?   Yeah ,   but   he   hails   from   from   the .   Yeah ,   for   he   was   born   in   the   1400s ,   1494 ,   boy ,   I&#39;m   just   botching   this   whole   thing .   He   was   from   Western   England ,   right   there   near   the   Wales   border ,   came   from   a   rich   family   of   land   owners ,   went   to   Oxford   at   age   12   who   didn&#39;t ?   Yeah ,   that   was   actually   normal   back   then ,   right ,   yeah ,   it   was   kind   of   preparatory .   They   would   go   and   they   prepare   them   for   the   higher   end   college   classes .   But   he   was   within   the   realm   of   the   whole   Oxford .   What   were   you   doing   in   12 ?   Oh ,   boy ,   good   lump .   Yeah ,   what&#39;s   the   good   rest ?   He   was   at   Oxford   for   10   years   and   then   he   went   on   to   Cambridge   and   there   are   some   they   call   him   the   father   of   the   English   Bible .   Yeah ,   he   was   the   first   to   translate   the   Bible   in   English   from   the   original   languages ,   greek   and   Hebrew .   He   did   the   whole   New   Testament ,   half   of   the   old ,   and   then   died .   We&#39;ll   talk   about   that .

          We   do .   What&#39;s   that   I   hope   we   do ?   I&#39;m   so   horrified   by   what   happened .

          Oh ,   it&#39;s   unbelievable   ends   up   coming   to   Christ   in   1519 ,   and   this   was   about   two   years   before   Luther   nailed   the   95   thesis   to   that   church   store   and   went   and   burgh .   Famously ,   he   was   basically   born   into   the   Reformation .   You   know ,   if   you   would ,   and   a   lot   of   it   what   came   down   to ?   What   was   going   on   back   then   at   what   was   called   the   White   Horse   Inn   near   Cambridge ,   where   people   would   get   together   and   have   Bible   studies   and   study   Luther&#39;s   works   also   a   great   podcast .   Yeah ,   michael   Horton .   Yeah ,   that&#39;s   right ,   and   and   so   he   ends   up .

          No ,   michael   Horton   and   some   other   guys   at   Westminster   have   a   podcast   called   what   horse   in ,   yeah ,   and   so   that   ended   up ,   you   know ,   he   went   to   the   White   Horse   Inn   Gathering   and   ended   up ,   you   know ,   coming   the   grips   with   the   fact ,   wow ,   this   is   what   scripture   says .   

      </p>

          And   he   got   you   know ,   salvation   by   grace ,   through   faith .   And   he   ends   up   getting   born   again   and   ends   up   going   back   near   where   he   grew   up   and   became   a   tutor   for   a   wealthy   family ,   kind   of   like   their   chaplain   sort   of .   And   this   priest   comes   over   one   day   and   they ,   they   start   having   interactions ,   and   the   priest ,   one   time ,   over   dinner ,   as   Tindall   was   coming ,   to   realize ,   wow ,   the   great   majority   of   those   that   claimed   it ,   no ,   god ,   right   back   then ,   that   the   Catholic   Church ,   it   was   what ,   the ,   what   was   known   as   the   church .   And   he   realized ,   wow ,   these   people ,   the   majority   of   them ,   don&#39;t   know   God ,   they&#39;re   not   converted .   And   he   realized   it&#39;s   because   they   don&#39;t   have   God&#39;s   word .   And   so   he   got ,   he   began   to   get   this   passion   to   get   the   word   translated   into   English .   It   was   illegal   at   that   time   to   translate   or   to   even   own   a   translation   of   the   Bible   in   English ,   and   so   so   he&#39;s   with   this   why   is   he ?   

      </p>

        <cite>Emeal Zwayne</cite>
      <time>18:35</time>
      <p>
          power .   Well ,   yeah ,   the   power   of   the   Catholic   Church .   It   was   in   Latin   and   they   kind   of   they   determined   the   Latin   is   his   language   of   the   Bible ,   even   though   obviously   it   wasn&#39;t .   But   they   kind   of   made   it   that   and   most   of   the   people   didn&#39;t   speak   Latin ,   the   common   people .   So   there   was   power   and   control .   If   they   don&#39;t   know   the   word ,   then   they ,   they   can&#39;t   criticize   our   unbiblical   practices ,   which   were   for   their   own .   You   know ,   wicked   means   right ?   So ,   yeah ,   so   the   priest   Basically   ends   up   saying ,   hey ,   we&#39;re ,   we&#39;re   better   off   having   the   Pope&#39;s   law   than   God&#39;s   law .   And   this   is   where   that   famous   quote   came   and   then   I&#39;ll   open   it   up   to   you   guys   where   Tindall   said   I   defy   the   Pope   and   his   laws .   If   God   spares   my   life ,   I   will   cause   a   plow   boy   to   know   more   of   scripture   than   the   Pope   in   Rome .

          Wow   yeah ,   and   so ,   yeah ,   from   there ,   tindall   heaped   up   a   whole   lot   of   trouble   on   himself .   He   he   went   to   his   bishop ,   the   bishop   of   London ,   thinking   he&#39;ll   support   him   in   an   English   translation .   Because   of   political   reasons   he   said   no .

      <p>
          And   then   Tindall   knew   he   couldn&#39;t   do   it   in   England ,   so   he   hopped   on   a   boat ,   flew   to   the   European   continent   and   Basically   was   there   12   years ,   yeah ,   and   hiding   you   know ,   just   thinking   it&#39;s   so   easy   for   us   to   create   our   own   Popes   in   our   lives ,   and   what   I   mean   by   that   is   that   when   we   depend   too   heavily   on   our   pastors   Online   preachers ,   whatever   case   to   read   our   Bibles   for   us ,   to   study   our   Bibles   for   us   and   then   tell   us   what   it   says ,   we&#39;re   basically   pulling   our   own   well-being   back   to   pre-William   Tindall ,   in   other   words ,   like   he   fought   hard   and   ultimately   lost   his   life   so   that   you   and   I   Could   sit   down   with   God&#39;s   word   and   read   it   for   ourselves .   And   I   can&#39;t   help   but   wonder   how   many   people   are   satisfied   letting   someone   else   study   God&#39;s   word   for   them .

          Yeah ,   that&#39;s   heavy   mark   and   a   lot   of   times   we   don&#39;t   think   about   the   sacrifice   that   others   made   to   bring   God&#39;s   word   to   us   and   to   preserve   truth   for   us .   You   know ,   we   just   think   reformation .   Our   mind   just   goes   into   this   general   Sort   of   realm   of   all   the   reformers .   They   were   great ,   but   but   man ,   they   were   paying   with   it   for   their   blood   many   of   them .

          It&#39;s   left   us   kind   of   scratching   our   heads   like   why   couldn&#39;t   he   finish   the   Old   Testament ?   Why   couldn&#39;t   he   do   this ?   Why   do   they   have   so   much   opposition   from   the   Pope ?   And   we   think   we   have   to   remember .   You   know ,   though ,   God   uses   people .   He   doesn&#39;t   need   people   and   you&#39;re   done .

          When   God   says   that   you&#39;re   done   Right ,   I   mean   the   apostle   Paul .   He   wanted   to   reach   the   Jews   and   God   says ,   no ,   I&#39;m   not   going   to   have   you   reach   the   Jews ,   but   it   makes   sense   for   Paul   to   reach   the   Jews .   If   anybody   is   Jewish ,   it   would   be   Paul   that   is   Jewish .   He   says ,   no ,   you&#39;re   going   to   reach   the   Gentiles   Right   Within   God&#39;s   economy .   It&#39;s   so   paradoxical ,   it   makes   no   sense   whatsoever .   Somebody   who   seems   to   be   so   knowledgeable ,   so   apt   to   be   able   to   reach   a   people ,   and   God   says ,   no ,   I&#39;m   going   to   continue   on   with   the   next   person .   And   we   read   the   last   chapter   and   we   see   that   God   wins .   You   know ,   I   was   in   the   British   library   and   I   was   coming   and   I   came   across .   There&#39;s   only   three   of   William   Tyndale&#39;s   New   Testaments   in   existence   that   we   know   of ,   and   one   of   them   is   there   in   the   British   library   and   I   remember   looking   over   at .

          And   the   British   Museum   is   completely   different .   But   the   British   Library   I&#39;m   looking   over   at   it   and   I&#39;m   just   kind   of   like   tripping   out .   You   know ,   looking   at   this ,   a   lot   of   these   New   Testaments   were   purchased   within   the   Catholic   Church   and   then   they   were   burned .   You   know ,   when   they   gathered   them   and   I   remember ,   just   looking   over   at   it ,   you   know   it&#39;s   so   colorful ,   right ,   these   old   texts   and   stuff   we   had   left   there .   You   know ,   it&#39;s   kind   of   a   surreal   moment   because   of   all   that   had   happened .   We   were   trying   to   get   some   witnessing   encounters   and   we   cross   the   bridge   over   there   at   the   Tame   River   Was   it ,   the   Tame   River ,   the .

          Tames ,   the   Tames   I&#39;m   trying   to   think   of   that .   Is   that   what   separates   the   London   Eye ?

      <p>
          I   think ,   it&#39;s   the   Tames ,   yeah ,   and   so   we   come   over   to   the   other   side   and   we   have   the   big   film   crew   and   we&#39;re   going   through   this   garden   and   I   look   back   and   my   wife   disappeared   and   one   of   the   cameraman   goes   you   lost ,   laura .   And   I   go   baby ,   you   got   to   keep   up   with   us .   I   go ,   I   don&#39;t   want   you   to   get   lost .   And   I   go   over   to   her   and   she&#39;s   just   staring   at   the   statue   of   William   Tyndale   that   they   have   there   in   London .   Wow ,   and   just   in   awe   of   looking   at   it   and   the   words ,   the   inscription   that   is   on   there   of   amongst   many   other   things   amongst   scriptures ,   where   Lord   opened   the   King   of   England&#39;s   eyes ,   which   is   reported   to   be   his   last   words   that   he   had ,   that&#39;s   right .   And   just   a   couple   years   after   that ,   then   the   Bible   became   accessible   and   all   the   perishes   correct .

          Yeah ,   and   so ,   like   my   wife   caught   it   right   away   and   we   walked   right   by   it .   You   know   the   monument   that   was   erected   in   his   honor   because   of   the   work   that   he   did   for   the   English   Bible   Wow   A

          Yeah .   And ,   ray   Mark ,   I&#39;m   so   glad   you   made   that   point ,   because   I   was   thinking   the   same   thing   as   I   was ,   you   know ,   reexamining   Tyndale&#39;s   life ,   and   that   is   he   didn&#39;t   finish   the   Old   Testament ,   but   he   did .   

      </p>

        <cite>Mark Spence</cite>
      <time>23:41</time>

          Right .   He   finished   the   work   which   God   set   before   Exactly .

          And   yet ,   Ray ,   logically   speaking ,   we   would   look   at   that   and   thank   God ,   this   man ,   he   never   got   married ,   Tyndale .   He   basically   spent   12   years   in   hiding   with   the   single   passion   of   getting   God&#39;s   word   into   the   common   language   of   the   people .   And   England   was   unique   in   that   regard   because   almost   every   European   country   had   the   Bible   in   its   common   language   except   for   England .   But ,   Ray ,   we   would   look   at   that   and   think   logically   God ,   why   did   you   take   him   out   before   he   could   finish   that   work   he   was   so   passionate   about ?   But   God   works   in   ways   we   can&#39;t   comprehend .

          Same   thing   happened   to   Matthew   Henry .   He   didn&#39;t   finish   Matthew   Henry&#39;s   commentary ,   he   died   before   he   could .   Yeah ,   God&#39;s   ways   aren&#39;t   our   ways   and   we   can&#39;t   figure   it ,   but   I   just   got   to   share   that .   I   was   delighted   as   I   researched   William   Tyndale   to   see   how   evangelistic   he   was .   I   didn&#39;t   realize   it .   You   kind   of   think   theologian   Bible   translator .   He&#39;s   just   in   a   little   room   by   himself   with   a   pen .

          Right ,   but ,   like   some   of   us   quotes ,   the   law   and   the   gospel   are   two   keys .   The   law   is   the   key   that   shuts   up   all   men   under   condemnation   and   the   gospel   is   the   key   which   opens   the   door   and   lets   them   out .

          And   so   that   delighted   me   to   know   this   and   that   it   also   made   me   grieve   even   more   with   such   a   horrible   death .   What   was   his   crime ?   We&#39;re   going   to   look   at   that   in   a   few   minutes .   I   get   Right .   What   was   his ?

          crime .   Yeah ,   exactly ,   and   his   impact   is   so   massive   and   Ray ,   you   nailed   it   right   Again   it   was   because   he   looked   and   saw   hey ,   most   of   the   people   here   in   England   aren&#39;t   even   converted .   Well ,   how   do   you   convert   people   without   the   word   of   God ?   They&#39;re   left   in   darkness ,   you   know ,   he   said .   This   is   a   quote   from   him .   He   said   I   perceived   how   that   it   was   impossible   to   establish   the   lay   people   in   any   truth ,   except   the   scripture   were   plainly   laid   before   their   eyes   and   their   mother   tongue .   I   mean   that&#39;s ,   and   we   just   take   it   for   granted .   I   mean   we   have   how   many   Bibles   we   have   on   our   shelves ?   And   and ,   and   really   it   traces   its   roots   backs .   What   happened   was   King   Henry   ended   up   realizing   because   the   eighth   yeah ,   henry ,   the   eighth ,   right ,   you   know ,   and   he   was ,   you   know ,   he   started   to   realize   because   he   had   one .   He ,   at   one   point   he   thought ,   okay ,   tyndale&#39;s   having   an   impact ,   let   me   bring   him   into   my   court   and   let   him   kind   of   work   with   me .   Tyndale   laid   some   conditions .   William   didn&#39;t   accept   it ,   and   so   then   he   wouldn&#39;t   let   him   back .

          And   then   Tyndale   didn&#39;t   want   to   come   back ,   you   said   William   didn&#39;t   accept   it ,   henry   didn&#39;t   accept   it .

          Well ,   yeah ,   Henry   wouldn&#39;t   accept   the   conditions .

          Yeah ,   and   so   he   ends   up   staying .   But   then   they   ended   after   he   finished   the   translation ,   at   least   the   New   Testament .   They   smuggled   about   18   to   20,000   into   England   and   even   after   Tyndale   died   the   King   started   to   see   his   influence .   It   was   like   this   is   huge .   And   then   he ,   he   commissioned   a   translation   and   and   all   that .   But   Lawson   called   him   the   leading   light   of   the   English   reformation .   He   really   sparked   it .   You   know ,   for   England   Martin   Lloyd   Jones   called   him   the   first   Puritan ,   and   then   you   extrapolate   that   right ,   because   it   was ,   it   was   through   the   word   of   God   getting   in   England   that   the   Puritans   rose   up .   From   the   Puritans   came   the   Pilgrims .   The   Pilgrims   end   up   seeking   religious   freedom   and   come   to   America .   So   our   roots ,   even   in   this   country ,   in   a   sense   trace   themselves   back   to   Tyndale .

          So   was   the   printing   press   invented   just   before   that ,   or ?

          The   printer   press   was   invented   yeah ,   just   just   after ,   and   that&#39;s   where   you   know   it   became   more   possible   to   disseminate   and   print .   I   mean   I   mean   it   was .   Yeah ,   it   was ,   at   first   there   were   hand   copies ,   and   then   the   and   then   the   printing   press   came   in   and   that&#39;s   where   it   started   to   spread ,   you   know ,   with   Luther   and   his   works   and   Tyndale .   But   yeah ,   I   mean   it   was ,   it   was   phenomenal   what   God   ended   up   doing .

          In   the   midst   of   that ,   you   said   we   take   for   granted   the   fact   that   our   Bibles   are   readily   available   to   us .   You&#39;re   right ,   we   Westerners ,   we   who   have   Bibles   readily   available ,   we   who   have   them   on   our   phones ,   we   who   have   10   of   them   in   our   homes   and   hardly   ever   think   about   them   or   read   them .   But   I   remember   hearing   the   story   about   this   pastor   that   I   met   and   he   was   in   the   business   of   smuggling   Bibles   into   areas   in   which   they&#39;re   illegal   and   he   was   telling   me   this   story   about   smuggling   Bibles   in   the   Middle   East   in   just   very   dangerous   locations .   I   mean   we&#39;re   talking   about   like   Backpacking   into   countries   because   you   knew   you   couldn&#39;t   get   him   in   there   anywhere   else   for   the   sake   of   delivering   the   Bible .

        <cite>Oscar Navarro</cite>
      <time>27:57</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   and   he   said   he   told   me   the   story   about   this   one   time ,   how   they   like   walked   down   into   this   basement   of   this   home   and   somewhere   in   the   Middle   East   and   he   meets   his   group   of   people   and   and   he   pulls   out   the   Bibles   and   he   starts   handing   them   off   and   this   one   lady   hands   it   to   her   and   she   just   starts   weeping .   He   said   she   clutched   it   into   her   Chast   and   fell   to   the   ground   and   started   crying   and   when   she   was   finally   like   done ,   sobbing ,   she   explained   to   him   that   she   had   been   a   Christian   for   ten   years   and   only   had   seen   a   Bible   once   and   never   owned   one   for   herself ,   which   makes   me   just   realize   like   she   understood   something   about   the   word   of   God   and   the   power   that   it   has   and   the   way   in   which   he   Reveals   himself   to   us   through   the   word .   That   made   her   cherish   it .   And   if   I&#39;m   being   honest   like   that   gives   me   Conviction .   Yeah ,   I   don&#39;t   cherish   my   Bible   the   way   she   did .

          Yeah ,   I   heard   stories   back   in   the   day ,   you   know ,   when   the ,   when   the   Soviet   Union   opened   up   to   the   world ,   communism   fell .   I   remember   someone   talking   about   how ,   you   know ,   they   were   going   over   to   the   the   Soviet   Union   and   they   were   giving   out   Bibles ,   and   they   just   talked   about   how   people   would   take   them   and   like ,   go   and   and   hold   them ,   hold   them   to   their   chest   and   just   begin   to   weep   like   I   have   God&#39;s   word ,   you   know ,   and   here   our   Bibles   are   sitting   on   shelves   collecting   dust .   You   know   it&#39;s   it&#39;s ,   it&#39;s   really   tragic   and   you   know ,   mark ,   the   Lord   is   gracious   to   not   only   give   us   his   word ,   ray   Comfort .

          Yes ,   no ,   not   a   question .   Got   a   YouTube .   There&#39;s   a   video   called   missionary   footage   captures   a   motion   of   Chinese   Christians   receiving   Bibles   for   the   first   time .   Wow ,   it&#39;s   only   fifty ,   say   fifty   seven   seconds   long ,   but   you   see   them   all   weeping   and   crying ,   just   like   what   you&#39;re   talking   about .

          Yeah ,   yeah   yeah ,   the   blessings   that   we   have   mark .   You   know   we   often   talk   about   the   number   of   Different   Bibles   you   can   get   on   your   phone ,   you   know .

          Yeah ,   I   was   twenty   thousand   absolute ,   yeah ,   bibles   and   and   not   just   that   but   but   even   Biblical   helps   and   commentaries   and   Greek   and   Hebrew   lexicons   and   Books ,   and   I   mean   even   biographies   like   Willie   tees ,   william   Tyndale&#39;s   life   and   stuff   like   that .   What   can   you   say   to   believers   right   now   to   stir   them ,   especially   the   young   ones   listening   to   us   again ,   not   ex ,   I&#39;m   not   exclusively   them ,   because   doesn&#39;t   matter   what   age   you   are ,   but   but   especially   the   younger   ones   who   have   more   energy   and   time   and   brain   power   what   would   you   say   to   them   to   encourage   them   to   buy   up   the   time   when   it   comes   to   making   use   of   these   things ?

          You   know   it&#39;s   a   good   question .   I ,   I   mean ,   I   wish   I   knew   what   that   secret   sauce   was   to   do   that ?   How   many   times   have   we   desired   to   maybe   go   back   in   the   past   and   Maybe   relive   something ?   Oftentimes   we&#39;ll   hear   somebody   ask   the   question   you   know ,   what   would   you   say   to   a ,   an   18   year   old ?   Mark   Spence   when   an   18   year   old   is ,   is   setting   us   up .   Yeah ,   and   I   say   that   to   kids   all   the   time

          .   What   I   would   do ,   you   know ,   and   what   I   would   study ,   how   I   would   redeem   the   time .

          And   I   think   the   best   thing   we   could   do   is   be   an   example ,   because   I   don&#39;t   know   how   to   light   that   fire   underneath   someone   unless   you   have   that   fire   yourself .   That&#39;s   the   how   flows ,   the   overflow   of   your   life ,   where   somebody   looks   in   and   says   man ,   I   want   to   mirror   that   behavior   and   that   passion .   And   may   we   have   and   see   Speakers   and   preachers   raised   up ,   where   somebody   leaves   and   says   I   want   to   know   God   the   way   they   know   God .   Typically ,   what   do   we   have ?   Somebody   shows   him ,   says   I   want   to   preach   the   way   he   preaches .   Or   we   go   to   a   concert   man ,   I   wish   I   could   play   and   sing   the   way   he   plays   and   sings .   No ,   something   is   entirely   different   and   foreign .   What   we   need   to   know   our   God   in   such   a   way   that   when   we   talk   about   that ,   it   becomes   contagious   behavior ,   covacius   and   desirous   from   an   individual   who   says   I   want   to   know   God ,   the   way   you&#39;re   talking   about   God ,   and   that   would   start   with   us .   

      </p>

        <cite>Mark Spence</cite>
      <time>32:06</time>
      <p>
          So   I   think   that   that   starts   in   that   of   remote   place   when   nobody&#39;s   looking ,   that   we&#39;re   not   just   treating   the   Bible   as   a   textbook ,   but   that   blue   book   and   and   to   crave   it   and   to   yearn   for   it   and   say ,   lord ,   unless   you   speak   to   me ,   I&#39;m   here   in   vain .   Search   me   and   try   me   and   see   if   there   be   any   wicked   way   in   me   and   lead   me   in   the   way   everlasting .   And   there   will   be .   As   Was   it   Martin   Luther   Ray   who   said   get   on   fire   from   God   and   people   come   from .   John   Wesley ,   that&#39;s   right .   Get   on   fire   for   God   and   people   come   from   miles   around   to   watch   you   burn .   That .   That   is   what   are   we   doing   Individually ?   How   many   times   have   we   listened   to   a   sermon   and   said ,   man ,   I   wish   so   and   so   was   here .   That   was   perfect   for   them .   Yeah ,   no ,   we   need   to   kind   of   stop   thinking   like   that   to   some   degree   and   To   take   things   more   personal ,   and   I   think   that   that   fire   will   be   carried   off   onto   our   kids   and   their   friends   and   Surrounding ,   but   it   starts   with   us .

          Yeah ,   I&#39;m   on ,   yeah   and   so .   So ,   ray ,   let&#39;s   get   to   Tyndale&#39;s   death .   And   and   what   happened ?   He   was   again   in   hiding .   He   went   to   Germany ,   which ,   because   of   what   was   going   on   with   the   Reformation ,   he   knew   that   he&#39;d   be   safe   there .   And   so   he   goes   there .   He&#39;s   in   hiding .   They   always   wanted   to   get   him   right .   They   always   wanted   it   to   be   able   to   get   him   to   put   him   to   death   like   they   did   with ,   they   tried   to   do   with   all   the   reformers ,   but   they   couldn&#39;t   get   to   him   until   finally ,   the   sky   named   Henry   Phillips ,   who   was   quite   a   loser   there&#39;s   another   way   to   put   it   but   he   was .   What   do   you   really   think   he   was   really ,   he   was   known   to   be   a   real   kind   of   dirtbag   and   he   was   an   Englishman .

          Yeah ,   an   Englishman ,   and   he   ended   up   sort   of   infiltrating   that   community   and   pretending   like   he   wanted   to   kind   of   learn   from .

          Yeah ,   he   was   a   Judas   good   way   to   put   it ,   yeah .   And   so   one   day   he   ends   up   convincing   Tyndale   to   go   out   to   lunch   with   him ,   and   so   they   they&#39;re   leaving   the   place   where   Tyndale   was   hiding ,   and   they   were   ready   for   him   and   they   caught   him .   You   know ,   basically   he   was   in ,   he   was   in   Brussels ,   in   Belgium .   They   ended   up   putting   him   to   death ,   so   they   strangled   him   first .

          That&#39;s   it   sounds .   I&#39;d   prefer   strangulation   to   burning   to   death .

          Well ,   it   was   a   mercy ,   because   he   was   a   scholar   you   know ,   it   was   not   kind   of   like   an   honoring   him ,   he   was   a   scholar .   When ,   I   gonna   let   you ,   they   did   burn   him .   After   that   they   did   but   they   didn&#39;t .   They   didn&#39;t   burn   him   alive ,   so   they   strangled   him .

          But   that&#39;s   not   exactly   exciting ,   because   the   blood   vessels   in   your   eyes   burst   when   you&#39;re   strangling   horrible .

          Yeah ,   so   they   did   that .   And   then   they   put   gunpowder   all   around   his   body ,   let   him   on   fire .   He   basically   blew   up   as   one   ended   up   happening   to   him   and ,   as   you   had   mentioned ,   ray ,   his   last   words   God   opened   the   eyes   of   the   King   of   England .

          He   was   fume   when   I   think   of   his   death ,   but   I   didn&#39;t   mean   it   as   a   Fume   yeah   yeah ,   so   his   crime   was   translating   the   Bible .   Yeah ,   how   evil   is   that .   And ,   by   the   way ,   it   was   the   Catholic   Church   that   did   that .   

      </p>

        <cite>Emeal Zwayne</cite>
      <time>35:12</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   it   was .   And   so ,   you   know ,   we   look   back   on   all   of   this   and   I   love   that   saying   that   says   Jesus   should   receive   the   reward   of   his   suffering   and   that&#39;s   applicable ,   right .   But   I   think   we&#39;re   so   individualistic ,   so   narcissistic ,   so   egocentric   as   a   culture   and   it&#39;s   crept   into   the   church   that   we   don&#39;t   ever   think   about   honoring   the   memory   and   the   sacrifice   of   those   that   have   gone   before   us .   It&#39;s   just   all   about   us ,   you   know ,   and   man   like ,   how   heartbroken   would   Tyndale   be   to   see   God&#39;s   Word   now   in   the   hands   of   the   masses   in   the   English   language   and   yet   just   neglect   it .   Never   memorize   scripture ,   never   study   scripture ,   never   meditate   on   scripture .   It&#39;s   an   utter   travesty .   And ,   ray ,   there&#39;s   a   spiritual   warfare   dynamic   involved   in   getting   into   God&#39;s   Word .   I   mean ,   you   did   a   video   not   long   ago   about   the   satanic   and   demonic   activity   when   you   start   to   share   the   gospel   with   someone .   You   showed   there&#39;s   a   picture   of   the   girl   on   the   thumbnail   and   her   eyes   are   like   looking   away .   That   happens   right   in   witnessing ,   absolutely .   

      </p>

        <cite>Ray Comfort</cite>
      <time>36:25</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   I   wish   I   could   have   filmed   when   I   was   witnessing   to   Diana   the   what   was   the   Carlos ?   I   couldn&#39;t   believe   the   spiritual   warfare   that   was   going   on .   I   would   remember   I   was   in   a   college   and   a   guy   comes   along   and   sort   of   tractor   making   a   noise .   I   said   to   Carlos   oh   Diana .   I   said   Carlos ,   what&#39;s   he   going   to   do ?   Get   a   chainsaw   out .   And   saw   down   the   tree .   Two   minutes   later   he   did .   It   wasn&#39;t   a   proper   chainsaw   but   I   was   like   he&#39;s   cutting   down   the   tree .   

      </p>

        <cite>Ray Comfort</cite>
      <time>36:53</time>
      <p>
          I   thought ,   man ,   this   is   a   battle .   So   we   just   waited   for   that   to   pass .   And   then   helicopters   come   over ,   almost   hover   over   the   top   of   us ,   and   I   said   there&#39;s   a   battle   going   on   here   for   what   we&#39;re   talking   about .   And   he   smiled   because   he   understood   that .   But   yeah ,   and   so   basically   what   came   against   Tyndale   was   demonic   forces .   Yeah ,   satan   didn&#39;t   like   what   he   did .   

      </p>

        <cite>Emeal Zwayne</cite>
      <time>37:17</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   and   Mark ,   that   same   diabolical   fallen   angel   and   his   minions   are   still   at   work   in   that   regard .   When   it   comes   to   us   getting   into   the   word ,   like   with   witnessing ,   there&#39;s   that   spiritual   warfare .   We   see   it   in   getting   into   God&#39;s   word   too ,   don&#39;t   we ?

        <cite>Mark Spence</cite>
      <time>37:54</time>
      <p>
          Yeah   $16 .

        <cite>Mark Spence</cite>
      <time>37:55</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   we   just   need   to   do   it .   How   many   times   are   emotions   and   our   thoughts ?   I   kind   of   get   the   best   of   us .   We&#39;re   just   kind   of   wondering   where   we&#39;re   at .   First   thing   I   do   when   I   wake   up   in   the   morning   is   I   read   the   word ,   and   I&#39;m   a   way   to   work .   I   usually   go   back   and   forth   between   a   couple   of   different   audiobooks   and   I   was   thinking ,   no ,   I   want   to   get   back   into   the   word .   So   I   just   continued   on   listening   to   the   word   on   the   way .   But   there   are   so   many   distractions   and   so   many   lies   and   the   only   way   you&#39;ll   know   what   truth   is   is   if   you   get   inside   the   word ,   and   if   you&#39;re   not   inside   the   word ,   you&#39;re   going   to   believe   lies   are   true .   So   we   need   to   hide   God&#39;s   word   inside   of   us   more   than   anything   and   become   more   convinced   that   God   is   real   than   what   we   see   around   us   is   real .   

      </p>

        <cite>Emeal Zwayne</cite>
      <time>38:35</time>
      <p>
          Yeah ,   yeah ,   oscar .   For   people   listening   who   may   be   newer   believers   or   even   who   have   been   believers   for   a   long   time ,   but   they&#39;re   like   I   just   don&#39;t   even   know   where   to   start .   Like   where   do   I   start   in   the   Bible ?   Okay ,   I   start   in   Genesis ,   that&#39;s   fine .   I   get   into   Exodus   okay   I .   Then   I   get   into   Leviticus ,   numbers   Deuteronomy .   It   can   be   painstaking   and   then   they   feel   lost .   So   what   do   you   recommend   in   terms   of   where   should   someone   start   if   they   want   to   become   a   serious   student   of   the   word ?

          .   When   I   first   became   a   Christian   I   kind   of   I   was   like ,   oh   man ,   I&#39;m   a   Christian .

          But   I   went ,   you   know ,   someone   was   like   you   need   to   get   yourself   a   Bible .   I   went   to   a   boarder&#39;s   book   store   and   I   remember   looking   up   the   shelf   and   there   was   like   hundreds   of   Bibles   and   there   was   different   options   and   I   didn&#39;t   know   what   NIV   was   in   KJB ,   you   know ,   and   for   whatever   reason ,   the   first   Bible   I   grabbed ,   pulled   off   the   shelf ,   looked   at   the   price   tag   and   it   was   like   a   hundred   bucks   and   I   was   like   no   way   and   I   put   it   back   and   I   walked   away   because   I   didn&#39;t   understand   the   value   of   God&#39;s   word   and   I   didn&#39;t   know   which   Bible   to   get .   Somebody   gifted   me   God&#39;s   word   and   I   remember   sitting   down   and   studying   it   for   the   first   time   and   it   being   incredibly   difficult   and ,   if   I&#39;m   being   honest ,   it   was   incredibly   boring .

          I   don&#39;t   remember   Probably   Genesis ,   which   is   really   good .   Now   I   realize   it .   Was   it   a   preface ?   It   was   a   preface .   Yeah ,   that&#39;s   what   it   was .   But   here&#39;s   my   point .   

      </p>

        <cite>Oscar Navarro</cite>
      <time>40:13</time>
      <p>
          First ,   I&#39;ve   been   there   before .   If   you&#39;re   a   new   believer ,   if   you   haven&#39;t   read   the   Bible   in   a   while ,   if   you&#39;re   not   a   believer   and   you   just   want   to   sit   down   and   read   it ,   here&#39;s   something   that   I&#39;ve   learned   is   that   anytime   I   come   to   a   place   where   there&#39;s   tension   between   me   and   God&#39;s   word ,   it&#39;s   not   because   there&#39;s   something   inherently   wrong   with   God&#39;s   word .   It&#39;s   because   there&#39;s   something   wrong   with   me .   I&#39;m   not   used   to   the   beauty   and   the   goodness   and   the   power   that&#39;s   available   to   us   and   I&#39;ve   used   this   metaphor   before ,   but   I   will   continue   to   use   it   because   I   think   it&#39;s   so   helpful   and   that   is   that   there   isn&#39;t   a   type   of   acquired   taste   for   the   beauty   of   God&#39;s   word ,   but   once   you   acquire   it ,   a   world ,   a   kingdom   opens   up   to   you   that   is   so   satisfying   to   your   soul .

      <p>
          So   the   answer   to   your   question ,   the   first   thing   I   would   say ,   is   don&#39;t   give   up   on   it .   The   second   thing   I   would   say   is   make   it   easy .   Study   it   with   a   friend ,   pick   a   Bible   study .   There&#39;s   so   many   amazing   Bible   studies   out   there   that   will   walk   you   through   small   portions   of   God&#39;s   word   and   help   you   understand   the   narrative   that&#39;s   happening   there .   So   make   it   easy ,   use   tools   and   resources   that   are   available   to   you   so   that   you   have   an   easy   route   to   understand   the   power   that&#39;s   available   to   you   in   the   Word   of .

          God   Even   sermons   online .   We   have   so   much   available   in   that   regard .   And   if ,   mark ,   someone   just   finds   a   series   on   a   book   in   the   Bible   from   a   trusted   Bible   teacher   and   starts   to   just   listen   through   that ,   that&#39;ll   kind   of   give   them   a   sense ,   especially   if   it&#39;s   a   good   exposer .   It&#39;ll   give   them   a   good   sense   of   Scripture   and   kind   of   help   them .   Yeah .

          You   know   I   was   talking   about   commentaries   not   too   long   ago .   Somebody   says ,   I&#39;m   sorry ,   what   is   a   commentary ?   And   we   kind   of   take   that   word   for   granted ,   but   it   really   is   supposed   to   come   from   a   trusted   teacher   who&#39;s   going   to   come   alongside   you   and   explain   different   things   that   you&#39;re   reading   and ,   if   you&#39;re   starting   to   dive   deeper   inside   the   Word ,   there   are   a   lot   of   really   great   books   and   commentators   and   commentaries   out   there   I   might   recommend   to   somebody .   Ray   had   mentioned   Matthew   Henry .   It&#39;s   a   free   commentary   that   you   can   get   online   because   he   is   so   old   and   it&#39;s   past   copyright ,   public   domain .

          Yeah ,   you   know   the   B   series   with   Warren   Wearsby .   You   know   another   great   place   to   start .   But   then   there&#39;s   some   really   great   people   that   are   live   today ,   like   John   MacArthur ,   who   has   exposited   through   God&#39;s   Word .   When   we   say   exposited ,   it   means   just   opening   up   God&#39;s   Word   and   telling   us   what   it   says .   What   did   the   original   author   mean   and   say   when   he   was   writing   to   the   original   audience ?   And   puts   proper   culture   and   customs   and   traditions   in   their   proper   place .   Yeah ,   right ,   so   there&#39;s   a   lot   of   really   good   commentaries   and   commentators   that   are   out   there .   Start   with   somebody   simple   perhaps ,   like   Warren   Wearsby   or   Matthew   Henry .

          Yeah ,   also ,   the   Amplified   Bible   is   a   great   way   to   understand   Scripture .   So   when   I   have   read   the   whole   Amplified   Bible ,   I&#39;m   holding   back   from   making   the   usual   joke .   We   kept   the   neighbors   awake   because   we&#39;re   reading   it   so   loud .   But   yeah ,   it&#39;s   just   great   to   read   because   it   takes   Jesus   wept   and   opens   it   up   and   it&#39;s   a   40   minute   read   of   that   verse ,   yeah .

          Yeah ,   there&#39;s   just   so   so   much   available   to   us .   And   also   getting   a   book   that   helps   you   understand   the   Bible .   There   are   books   on   how   to   read   the   Bible ,   very   simple   ones .   I   mean   just   a   plethora   of   them ,   if   you   just   look   them   up   online   and   then   you   can   learn   the   different   genres   in   Scripture   the   prophetic   and   the   poetic ,   and   the   epistles   in   the   New   Testament   and   the   gospels   and   the   apocalyptic ,   which   is   the   book   of   Revelation ,   and   then   you   start   to   kind   of   get   a   sense   for   hey ,   this   is   what   it   is .   And   then   hermeneutics   we&#39;ve   done   an   episode   on   that   before   and   that&#39;s   how   to   interpret   Scripture ,   how   to   understand   it   in   its   proper   context .

          So   there&#39;s   so   much   out   there ,   and   thank   God   for   a   man   like   William   Tyndale ,   who   was   willing   to   stand   up   and   risk   his   life   and   go   against   the   flow   in   order   to   touch   others ,   and   you   know   he&#39;s   been   said   by   some   to   also   be   the   father   of   the   modern   English   language .   English   wasn&#39;t   really   standardized   back   in   that   time .   The   dictionary ,   like   a   real   solid   English   dictionary ,   didn&#39;t   come   out   until   the   1700s ,   and   so   he   really   helped   to   create   more   of   a   standard   and   even   coined   like   lots   of   phrases   through   his   translation ,   which   carried   up   phrases   like   in   the   twinkling   of   an   eye ,   a   moment   in   time .   Let   there   be   light ,   my   brother&#39;s   keeper .   Signs   of   the   times   lead   us   not   into   temptation ,   but   deliver   us   from   evil .   Steve   Lawson   highlighted   all   these ,   so   that&#39;s   you   know   it&#39;s .   It&#39;s   amazing   what   an   impact   he   ended   up   having .

          And   speaking   of   giving   out   God&#39;s   word ,   if   you&#39;re   a   layperson   and   you   want   to   do   something   wonderful ,   join   the   Gideons   International .   I   was   in   for   seven   years   I   think   Scotty&#39;s   in   it ,   my   son   Daniel&#39;s   in   it   where   they   give   out   Bibles   to   hotels   and   motels   and   schools   and ,   all   over   the   place ,   millions   and   millions   of   copies   of   God&#39;s   word .

          So   if   Tyndale   had   caught   a   glimpse   of   even   just   what   the   Gideons   do ,   he   would   have   been   kind   of   excited ,   that&#39;s   good   you   know   we   talked   about   the   reality   that   William   Tyndale   would   look   now   and   see   so   many   people   in   our   culture   just   have   Bibles   sitting   around   doing   nothing   and   he   would   be   burdened .   The   flip   side   of   that   is ,   I   think   William   Tyndale   would   be   so   blessed   that   God   used   his   faithfulness ,   that   there   are   millions   of   Christians   that   are   sitting   around   having   devotions   with   their   children   opening   God&#39;s   word   in   English   Amen .   So   God   has   done   a   good   work   with   his   faithfulness .   Yeah ,   big   time .
