Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

And the Revolutionary.

Wonderful thing is it was saying things that was teaching him and kind that had never been taught before revolutionary things.

There are a lot of revolutionary things.

I have a long list, this position might go long, but I think the last session isn't very long, so that it doesn't go to the next one.

Will try not to.

We'll see what we can do.

I hope you will enjoy this, but this is incredible.

So, incredible things, the Torah was teaching and some of the most basic things that it starts out with Weaver.

Every mentioned, a few things, but we're going to look at what surprising and revolutionary.

Wonderful things God was teaching humankind.

The trainers are not known outside of the judeo-christian tradition.

Well, yes.

Actually they've kind of filtered out through our tradition, but there are many people and societies that have not necessarily embrace them.

But I need to start with another interesting book.

That been out for a few years.

It is called the book that major world by Vishal mangalwadi this fellow the show, that is a Indian name, he is an Indian Christian.

And if so he comes at it from a non-western perspective and his own Society in his Hindu background.

So I, I think Rob was saying, we have some folks of Indian background.

I can only call him and I try not to over speak cuz I do not know what I should know about all of those things, but he had some and he's a Christian.

and he tells stories about how the Bible changed his understanding, and He says let's see here.

The Bible is the only Force known to history that has freed entire nations.

Going to see this just a second.

I got to tell his story.

He has written several books season in National speaker.

So he travels around and he was in the Netherlands and fellow who I think he was a farmer.

He said, I'll come and visit my farm, and then they sell these big beautiful Fields, lots of colors.

And then the guy came into this big room that had a pink with a spigot that was available.

Anybody can walk in and and bring their jug, and fill it up.

And then there is a basket or you to put your money in and everything was on the honor System.

And so the guy put his money in and took some

And Vishal, just dropped his jaw.

What on Earth was that?

The honor System but you trust people so much that you would leave a basket of money there and you let people pay because they are honest, they pay you for the milk.

And they don't pick the basket full of money, and they don't take the jug of milk.

He said, this is Unthinkable where I come from.

And so, once again, I don't want to sound anti-india, saying in my culture, we do not have

Honor System stands.

I drove past a bunch of them on my way down.

I was going to come to my think I found at 4 and I was on major highways.

So it was just before I got on the major highways that you can see on our system because I don't change.

It says, this one's kind of amazing.

I don't think they're all like that and

what he said was he started thinking about The difference in India, versus in the Netherlands, where he was at the radical honesty was expected.

In India.

You would you had to absolutely have somebody sitting there next to the milk selling it?

You cannot just have it sitting there.

So you're going to have to pay that person.

You're going to have you going to have to pay that person and you know what?

people who sell milk often water it down to make more money and so people who insist that there is an inspector that the government and so either taxes or the milk, producers will have to pay for inspectors and then Inspectors, usually won't come unless you bribe them so you have to pay for bribes.

and then,

the total sum of that means that Even the simplest things that are so basic needs is milk for my children.

The cost is really high.

And that just kind of broke my heart.

I have a wonderful friend in Uganda.

I had a lovely vacation vacation, this past spring.

I went to Uganda to see my good friends there and it's kind of the same way there, but my friend Millie.

She says, all the food is so cheap.

Here, food is very expensive where I come from.

It means, it means that people versus Power T. People are stuck in poverty because of this corruption, the everything has to be girded and paid for, and, and something has to be watched over bribes.

And it's the text for send that, which really is just, I think that's just sad is a whole country is trapped in an ending poverty.

Because everybody has to steal a little bit here and here, and here is so we always have to guard this and what a wonderful thing it is.

In the Netherlands where people are so honest that they don't need all of that.

And actually kind of us have figured out that that's incredibly important in an economy's places that have corruption people won't.

They don't start businesses, they hide their money and they don't do anything because people are going to steal it no matter what.

And so that's a lot of what keeps the places.

Poor is corruption.

so, what there are, they there are economic Organizations that measure these things around the planet, may they find that there's incredible difference between countries.

And here's a map for you, Dina nerds who will be some answers from a few years ago.

But Yeah, you can you noticed that in Scandinavia northern Europe, America, Australia?

People's General sense of the corruption of government in the people around them is quite low, especially in Scandinavia, and Northern Europe.

Of course, it's changed a little bit.

Since then this is maybe 10 years ago or more whereas in unfortunately, the heart of Africa, the corruption is very high and people are, you know, it just keeps people crushed in priority when I was in Uganda this friend of mine.

Has built a school for Orphans from northern Uganda, which is one of the most war-ravaged places on the planet.

This is where she comes from.

And she herself is caring for the absolute bottom of society in and giving them.

Hope it's incredible.

But the fact that everything is so expensive.

It just breaks my heart and these kids in her classes.

They wake up it, she rings the bell at 4 in the morning and they quick, hurry up, and I have to study for an hour or so.

And then they have their lessons classes, all morning to have a cup of tea.

And then in the evening, they have a big meal, one meal a day.

Only one meals a cup of tea is what they have for breakfast in the morning.

That's all I got and be more than one of them asked me.

Why is it?

We work so hard.

We study.

So so hard.

We wake up so early and we study all day long with work so hard and it seems like you and you don't work so hard.

And yet you are much.

Do work, Rich, then we are.

Well, I didn't actually say Well ruption and is not quite such a problem for us and you say, what was that a consequence of your riches will open?

I don't really, I feel like I'm making it sound like we're heroes somehow.

And you guys all know that what this is, I think her grandparents.

Came from places.

I should say what?

V show.

My Maloney says he says that the reason for the change was actually probably the Great Awakening and some of the religious revivals in the 17 and 18 is that absolutely blew the, the these cultures from one end to the other in, in England, John Wesley, he caused massive amounts of repentance so that incredible.

So, instead of big factories abusing their workers and you hear about all these awful, Charles Dickinson tales about the oppressed people.

Incredible change in in Europe and I have to say, I come from Dutchland, I don't know anybody's from Michigan.

I come from Holland.
