what I love about the word of God it
0:02does
0:03not show us just the grandiose
0:07ideologies of successful families that
0:10have no turbulence but from the very
0:12first
0:14family he warns us that families will be
0:19complicated
0:22conflicted
0:25disfunctional if the first
0:28family was dysfunctional
0:33the Apple couldn’t fall too far from the
0:36tree
0:37all as soon as God put the man in the
0:42garden and pulled out of him the woman
0:45and they started the first family murder
0:50hit the first
0:53family is a clue that there is going to
0:57be turbulence the rest of of the book
1:00with
1:01families the law of first mention the
1:04first family that’s mentioned is
1:06dysfunctional and all the way throughout
1:08the rest of the book we see turbulence
1:10we see rape we see molestation we see
1:14drunken fathers we see ungrateful Sons
1:17we see the impediments of people who
1:21dress themselves up like prostitutes and
1:24slept with their father-in-law to get
1:26pregnant to produce children this if if
1:29the the Bible were to be cinematic it
1:32would at least be rated
1:37[Applause]
1:38R at least rated R because God is honest
1:44and Vivid about the fact that life is
1:49messy it’s
1:51complicated that’s why you ought not to
1:54covet your
1:56neighbor because you’re standing on the
1:58outside and on the outside every family
2:01looks good and stable and solid and sane
2:06and part of your pain comes from your
2:10comparison because you wish that your
2:13family were more like them but if you
2:15went inside the house you would find out
2:18that they are not everything that you
2:21thought that they
2:25were and maybe you better deal with the
2:27devil you know
2:34then the devil you
2:38don’t family is
2:42tough I would rather build a church any
2:45day than build a
2:47family I would rather build a business
2:50any day than build a family I would
2:52rather lay
2:55block then build a family cuz block
2:58don’t have an opinion okay
3:01block don’t talk back it stays where you
3:03put it come on somebody but raising a
3:07family see every block got a mouth and
3:11every mouth has an opinion and every
3:14opinion has to be Express and it is your
3:17job to hold together all of these
3:20different opinions and personalities and
3:22attitudes and
3:25dispositions and mood
3:28swings and mid life crisis and
3:32menopause and Adolescence you got to
3:35hold it together for a
3:39long
3:41time there is no retiring from your
3:45family there is no resigning from your
3:49family you will always be attached to
3:52them don’t believe your divorce
3:58papers
4:00just cuz you signed the release doesn’t
4:02mean you’re out of
4:04jail cuz the first time trouble Rises
4:07the first time they have a car wre the
4:10first time they get sick the first time
4:11they get in trouble they’re going to
4:13call you and it’s going to affect you I
4:15know you said you don’t care and it
4:16don’t bother you but you going to have
4:18flashbacks cuz you got a brain and you

4:22people at are y’all sitting in the
4:24section over here flashback have you

4:29you still got a flashback and you’re
4:32little worried but you can’t call and
4:34you tell yourself you don’t care but you
4:36do and you’re walking around in the
4:38middle of the night with that little
4:39sick feeling in the bottom of your
4:41stomach because your stomach won’t
4:43listen at your head and disconnect from
4:46the fact that you are still connected
4:48though you are free on paper you are
4:50still Bound by experience and families

4:58business
5:04we live in a time now
5:06that everybody wants everything
5:11quick quick
5:20love immediate
5:24gratification I’m going to talk about
5:25some stuff you don’t know about cuz you
5:27grew up on instant grits
5:33but I remember when grits were an
5:36instant so what you call good grits I
5:39just call
5:41gritty cuz real grits are slow
5:45cooked Come on talk to me
5:48somebody real grits are slow cooked take
5:51a long time to get the Grits right but
5:55that stuff y’all throwing in the
5:56microwave that you call grits is not
5:59real really grits because if you want
6:02something to have real flavor you got to
6:05slow cook it you got to put it on a
6:07smoker you got to give it some time you
6:11can’t cook CID Greens in 15 minutes it
6:14takes time to cook green you you you got
6:17to put the meat in and let it boil down
6:21and let it thicken up and let it get a
6:23little flavor in it come on somebody you
6:25got to cut your greens and wash your
6:28greens and have them in at the right
6:30time and then cover them up and let it
6:33cook down let all the juices cook down
6:37to you can’t tell the greens from the
6:39broth and see we don’t have time for
6:45that we want instant sons and instant
6:49fathers and instant marriages listen it
6:52takes 30 minutes to have a
6:58wedding but it may take 30 years to have
7:01a
7:08marriage and most of us if we don’t get
7:12what we need when we need it like we
7:14need it in the style that we needed in
7:16our love
7:18[Applause]
7:25language we’re out of

7:37love language is I’m still trying to
7:39figure out what my love language is and
7:42when your love language and my love

8:16up the family started before the
8:22church God knew he had to slow cook it
8:25cuz it was going to take a long time to
8:28get that right
8:30he did he didn’t even bring up the
8:32church to the New Testament but he
8:34started the family way back in the Book
8:36of Genesis cuz he said this is slow
8:40grits we got to cook it real slow real
8:45slow cuz the brothers are going to get
8:48jealous what and brothers
