A highlight from Zechariah Evangelism
"Good morning. Our third Sunday sermon series through Zechariah is coming to a close here. I'm not sure if we'll have another message after this one. Usually, after I get to the end of a book, we'll go back and do a review message, which was last month, and then a message relating, whatever the book was, to evangelism. So that's today. Zechariah evangelism. And so let's pray that God will bless us today. Lord God, we thank you that all of your Word is an evangelistic tool, for faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. And we know that we see scriptures that we can identify better as evangelistic, but we know that all of your Word is truth, and truth convicts of sin, and conviction of sin then can lead to repentance. And so we pray, Lord, that you would make us wise evangelists. And so help us in that today. We ask it for Jesus' sake. Amen. The book of Zechariah is a revelation or a revealing of Jesus the Messiah. As such, it is a good resource for evangelism. Today we utilize Zechariah for evangelism in the form of a letter to an unbelieving friend. So I hadn't done this before, so it may seem a little bit strange. It's going to seem a little strange to me. But I have always found that evangelism encourages the saints to say, well, I don't need to come to faith in Christ, but I love hearing, well, it's kind of like the hymn, isn't it? I love to tell the story. I love to hear the story of unseen things above. And so if it just falls flat, then I know you all will still love me. And you'll just say, don't do that again. That was silly. Just send your letter to your friend and preach us a regular message, OK, if it doesn't work out. But I think it's going to encourage you. OK. Kids speak. Kids, what book are we looking at today? Zechariah. What are we going to do with Zechariah today? We're going to use it to write a letter to a friend telling them how important it is to trust Jesus. So I sent you an email with this without anything but the letter. So if you actually wanted to use it and instead of friend put somebody's name, you could do that. Dear friend, would you allow me to share some observations about a certain book in the Bible? I have found this book particularly beneficial, and I believe you may benefit from its content as well. It's the book of Zechariah, the second to the last book in our English Old Testament. God showed Zechariah some strange things, and probably many today would think he wasn't quite in his right mind when he saw them. But all his visions had their basis in what Moses and the preceding prophets had been shown. First, though, a little historical setting for the book. It was written when the Jews came back from captivity in Babylon. God had allowed his own people to be defeated by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon. That was because they had done just about everything he had told them not to do and had stopped doing the things they were supposed to do. As Zechariah reminded his audience, the Lord of Heaven's assembly said, exercise true judgment and show brotherhood and compassion to each other. You must not oppress the widow, the orphan, the resident foreigner, or the poor, nor should anyone secretly plot evil against his fellow citizen. But they refused to pay attention, turning away stubbornly and stopping their ears so they could not hear. Indeed, they made their hearts as hard as diamond so that they could not obey the Torah and the other words the Lord of Heaven's assembly had sent by his spirit through the former prophets. Therefore, the Lord of Heaven's assembly has poured out to great wrath. You can see that God had given them very sensible directions for treating each other right. Who would not agree that these rules were fair and just? Yet they had turned a deaf ear mistreating one another. And even though we agree that compassion and helping the disadvantaged are right, would it take much digging to where we too have turned a deaf ear to divine instructions? Kids speak. Kids, God gives us the rules for how to treat each other right. But have we broken those rules? Yeah. Do we need God to forgive us? Zechariah had opened his message with a similar reminder. He didn't place the responsibility in the past. Rather, he laid the impetus to respond on his own generation. Therefore, say to the people, the Lord of Heaven's assembly says, turn to me, says the Lord of Heaven's armies, and I will turn to you, says the Lord of Heaven's armies. Do not be like your ancestors, to whom the former prophets called out, saying, this is what the Lord of Heaven's assembly has said, turn now from your evil wickedness. But they would by no means obey me, says the Lord. God told the people to turn to him, even though it appeared that they had already started obeying God again, since they had made the dangerous journey from Babylon to rebuild a burned -down Jerusalem, the walls of which had been completely leveled, exposing them to dangerous enemies. But God saw that their hearts were still not turned to him. Even though they were facing many difficult and discouraging circumstances, God knew that no obstacle could be greater than having their attention divided from him. Kid Speed, if we obey some things, God says, does that mean we obey everything he says? No. All of us probably could say we obey some things. He told them if they turned to him, he would turn to them. Well, that's certainly a square deal. Before God gave them into Babylon's hands, he had spent generations trying to turn them from their misdeeds. Now he was patiently starting over with them again. And how did they respond? Zechariah 1 .6, and they turned and said, the Lord of Heaven's assembly planned to do with us according to our ways, yes, according to our deeds, so he has dealt with us. God told them to turn, and they turned. Zechariah's audience responded favorably to his message of repentance, at least at first. They took responsibility for their waywardness, and they accepted God's gracious invitation to fellowship, that he would turn to them as well. Now they were ready to hear how God would bring them a final deliverance from all danger. It would come through a single man. Kids speak. Kids, the people Zechariah was talking to knew that they hadn't done what God said, so they turned back to him. Is that what we should do, too? Come on, nod your head with me. They were rebuilding Solomon's temple, but Zechariah had a message of another temple that would have to be built if they were going to be finally saved, Zechariah 6 .12. This is what the Lord of Heaven's assembly says, here is the man whose name is the sprig. He will branch out from where he is and will rebuild the temple of the Lord. They were rebuilding the temple, so it must have been a surprise to hear about someone else who needed to come and build another new one. Ezra and Zerubbabel were leading the present rebuilding effort. Who was this other man in such a strange name, the sprig? But Zechariah and his colleagues had already been told about the sprig. They had already been told that the sprig had something to do with the priesthood. God had spoken to their own high priest, Joshua, not the Joshua of the book of Joshua, Zechariah 3 .8. Listen, high priest Joshua, you and those companions of yours who sit with you, for these men are a sign that I am presenting my servant the sprig. The very fact that God's people needed a new high priest every time the last one died showed that a final permanent priest was needed. The fact that they had a day of atonement every year showed that their sins were not being removed permanently. They needed a once for all payment for sin. That was apparently going to be the work of the sprig. And why call the sprig? Simply because he would start fresh. He wouldn't build onto the existing structure of the Levitical priesthood, and that is exactly what has come about. Jesus came from the tribe of Judah, not Levi. Yet he acted as a priest, offering himself as a sacrifice for sins. Kids, one of the names for Jesus in Zechariah is sprig. What's a sprig? Well, it's a plant when it first starts growing. Why was Jesus called sprig? Because he had to do everything over right from the start. We had messed everything up, so he had to start all over like a little sprig. God then immediately added a new name to Christ the sprig, calling him a stone. For he grew from his small beginning to become the sacrifice for sin, both permanent and solid qualities a stone represents. Zechariah 3 .9. Look, the stone that I put in place in Joshua's presence, on that one stone are seven eyes. And look, I will do the engraving myself, declares the Lord of Heaven's assembly. And I will remove the perversity of that land in a single day. There's one of the strange symbols of Zechariah, a stone with seven eyes. Of course, it's figurative. The mental image of a seven -eyed stone probably confuses us at first, but the stone is made less mysterious in light of the engraving, an engraved stone. The eyes most simply symbolize sight. Really the most elusive aspect of the image is the seven. That one takes a little bit of biblical familiarity. We find by induction, looking at places where seven occurs, that seven connotes completeness. So seven eyes indicate complete sight. The stone then is a figurative way to tell us that the Messiah would be omniscient. To see everything is to know everything. In other words, the Messiah would be God. Kids speak. Kids, another name for Jesus in Zechariah is the stone. Why is he a stone? Because he stays the same, like a rock, when he says he will save us. That word is as firm as a rock. Well, what about the engraving on the stone? Well, in light of the prompt removal of the land's perversity, the engraving is most likely the engraving of the land's perversity into the stone. It's an engraving God does himself. And isn't this what God the Father did when Jesus was on the cross, engrave his people's sins into him? Kids speak. Zechariah calls Jesus a rock that God carves on. Well, what did God carve into Jesus? Our sins. When our sins were carved into Jesus, did that take the sins away from us? Yep, carved onto him. That's how it works. This sprig who became the stone was God's way of explaining to Joshua the high priest what had just happened to him. So rewind to the beginning of the chapter, Zechariah 3, 1 through 4, and he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the messenger of the Lord, and Satan was standing on his right to accuse him. But the Lord said to Satan, the Lord rebukes you, oh Satan, the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebukes you. Is this not a stick snatched from the fire? And Joshua was clothed in filthy garments and was standing before the messenger. And he answered and said to the one standing before him, saying, remove the filthy garments from him. And he said to him, see, I have taken away your guilt from you and will clothe you with rich garments. The high priest, the man in Israel who presided over the sacrifices for removing sin, he himself stood unclean before God. Satan was there accusing him. But God did not argue the basic fact of Joshua's defilement. No, in fact, God's rebuke of Satan got right to the matter of Joshua's deficiency. He called Joshua a stick snatched from the fire. Joshua was like a stick that was going to burn, but God had pulled him out of the fire. Kids, God said that Joshua the high priest was like a stick that was about to burn, but God pulled it out of the fire. Is that what God does when Jesus saves us? Pulls us out of hell? Yeah. We were headed right for hell. So, wow, we should really thank Jesus, shouldn't we? Ah, dear friend, I can tell you that describes me as well. I was a stick ready to burn, already as good as it ignited. Yes, that has me listening to God's words as closely as I'm sure Joshua was. Remove his filthy garments. Men on earth couldn't see the dirty clothing, but there in heaven we see the reality. Joshua already believed that he needed spiritual cleansing, otherwise he would not have made the annual sacrifice on the Day of Atonement for his own sins. But now he got to see how his defilement looked in God's presence. Satan didn't even have to lie, though he's good at it. A defiled Joshua was his exhibit A, and he needed no further proof. Friend, if the highest religious official amongst God's people was tarnished by sin, everyone else on earth was as well. The high priest needed the engraved stone to be engraved with his own sins. That's why God showed Joshua that vision, so that Israel's high priest could model for the nation their need to hope in God's final high priest. I have that same hope. I have trusted in Jesus of Nazareth as the sacrifice that covers my sin, dear friend. Kids, if Satan came before God and said, look at Pastor Cain, he's a dirty sinner, how can he be a Christian? What would God say? He would say, but I cleaned Pastor Cain up by what Jesus did on the cross. You can say the same thing for you, right? You may have noticed that I am referring to Jesus as both the high priest and the sacrifice. That is correct. He is both. If our sins were engraved into him, that makes him the sacrifice. But he was the one who offered himself up to be sacrificed. He is also the priest. In fact, Jesus fulfilled virtually every aspect of the temple, the furniture, its procedures, and the priests processing them. He puts the fill in fulfillment. I have been to your ear a long time. Thank you for your patience. I will bring this to an end. Zechariah 12, 10. And I will pour upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of prayer, then they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn over him. Jesus was a Jew, and he came to his countrymen first. They passed him by. But one day God promises that they will recognize him. Zechariah 13, 1. On that day, a well will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem to cleanse them from sin and from impurity. And they will recognize their Messiah. They will recognize what he did for them. Kids speak. Another thing Zechariah says Jesus is like is a well. Why is that? Well, because you can wash with water from a well just like you can have your sins washed away by Jesus' blood. Until then, that same well is open to all men. Zechariah 2, 11. Many nations will join themselves to the Lord on the day of salvation, and they will also be my people. And here we are. Christ's saving message reaches more and more people groups year by year. But the end gathering will not last indefinitely. Christ will return to finalize his work on earth. Zechariah 14, 4. On that day, his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives. That was the location from which he left the earth in the sight of his apostles ascending into heaven. That is where he has an appointment to return. Kids, where is Jesus right now? Heaven. Will he always stay there? No. He's coming back here to be king of everybody in the world. Oh, that'll be a great day, won't it? Dear friend, there is a sacrifice that washes away our sins and renews us. Do we need cleansing and new life? Zechariah, like the rest of scriptures, tells us that if we have dishonored God and broken his commandments, we need Jesus' purifying sacrifice. I pray to God that you will join me as one who confesses Christ as Lord and Savior. For the walking wounded, as 1 Thessalonians 5, 14 says, uphold the strengthless. It's easy to forget that when we first came to God, we were complete spiritual invalids. I think most of us continue to think, hmm, I don't think I've changed much since then, but we're supposed to mature. All scripture is profitable for teaching, for conviction. The gospel is good news. May fear not cause me to hesitate in telling it as though it were basically bad news. It does contain bad news, but the gospel is basically good news. If you just tell good news without contexting it with the bad news, unless the person already gives you that and says, oh, I'm a defiled sinner. What can I do? Well, of course, you can just march right into, here's the means of cleansing. But if not, you need to let them know that, yes, we are sinners headed for hell. But the gospel is basically good news, which is how we should present it. All scripture is profitable for correction. I will remember that the good news is what properly contexts the bad news of our sinfulness, our enmity with God, and our coming judgment. God justly put all these aside in the cross. And all scripture is profitable for teaching, conviction, correction, for schooling in righteousness. Nothing wrong with asking God to just drop witnessing opportunities into our lap rather than worrying about segues. How do I get from a regular conversation into a gospel conversation? And, of course, we want to be able to do segues, too. But in the meantime, it's a good thing to ask every day who knows who I'll meet today. Maybe the door will just swing wide open, and I need to be ready to walk in. Wrap up, Colossians 4, 5, and 6. You can see it on the left side there. Walk in wisdom toward those on the outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech be always with grace, having been seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. And then breaking it down phrase by phrase, walk in wisdom toward those on the outside. God give me a special wisdom like a person on a mission. Redeeming the time, God give me sufficient urgency. Let your speech be always with grace. God give me words that make good transitions to the gospel. Having been seasoned with salt, God give me a bright countenance and inviting words that you may know how you ought to answer each one. God give me increasing sensitivity to see particular burdens in the lives of others that I may point them to the burden -bearer. Amen. Let's pray. Lord God, thank you for your words. We pray, Lord, that you will grant a day of revival when the subject of God and of being right with God is simply part of the national conversation. And we know that you have done this before in days of revival, that people simply become curious again. And you pique their curiosity and we can simply walk right into witnessing situations. But until then, Lord, we pray that we would remember Colossians 4, 5, and 6, that we would walk in wisdom towards them, that we would seek out opportunities, that we would always have gracious speech, and that we would season it with salt and make it attractive. And that you might help us better and better to recognize needs in people's lives that will present the gospel's introduction. Lord, bless these, your people, all your people here on earth, worshiping you today. In Jesus' name, amen.

A highlight from Rejoicing With Abraham
"If you'll take your Bibles, please, and open them to the book of Hebrews and the seventh chapter, Hebrews chapter seven, as we continue our examination of this passage. And if you would join me in standing out of reverence for the reading of God's word, Hebrews chapter seven, again, beginning at verse four, reading again to the eighth verse. Now, consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils. And indeed, those who are of the sons of Levi, who received the priesthood, have a commandment to receive tithes from the people according to the law. That is, from their brethren, though they have come from the loins of Abraham. But he whose genealogy is not derived from them, and received tithes from Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises. Now beyond all contradiction, the lesser is blessed by the better. Here, mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom is witnessed that he lives. Let's pray. Father, I pray that you would give to us grace and understanding. I pray, God, for clarity as we approach your word. And I pray that you would help us to be faithful to your truth. And God, as we consider the things that you've given this day, we pray that much would be made of Christ, that his name would be exalted, and his glory would be extended. We ask it in Jesus' name, amen. So this man, Melchizedek, is shrouded in mystery. We have been on this chapter for a while. We've been talking around Melchizedek. He is an enigma. He is a question. He's a hint. But he's also an answer. There is enough shown for us to see the man for who he actually is. And I am convinced that he is a pre -incarnate appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ. Now I know many theologians disagree with me. I know that many who are much smarter, and much wiser, and much more learned than I am think that this cannot be. But I'm convinced of it. I'm convinced that of scripture. And it doesn't matter whether you agree on this point or not. The things about Melchizedek that we've looked at, they're all true whether he is a pre -incarnate Christ or whether he is just a type of Christ. But I want us to see the things that are convincing me of this. And it's time finally to preach this sermon. It's important for us to understand all that we can about this issue. Because it affects the reasons for Jesus' coming. It reveals the intention of God to save a people. And it shows us that his will has never changed. The purpose of Jesus' coming among us is always the same. He comes to reveal the heart of the Father. And he comes to redeem his own and to purchase us from captivity to sin. He comes to conform us to the likeness of the Father whom he loves. And he comes because he desires to come. This is not something that anybody ever forced on Christ. It is always his own desire. So let's start with the basic things that we can see right here. There are some hints and there are some assertions. So the very first thing, and I'm just going to run through these. We've looked at them in bits and pieces for a while. But look back at verse one of chapter seven in Hebrews. For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him. To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all, being first translated king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, meaning king of peace. Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the son of God, remains a priest continually.

A highlight from The Cutting Edge of Evangelism
"I don't know how much all of you know about the Jewish faith today, but I suspect you know quite a bit. And I suspect everyone here this morning knows that someone's Jewish heritage is passed down through the mother's side. That in considering your Jewishness, it comes from your mother, meaning of course that if your father is not Jewish, but your mother is, by Jewish law, you are Jewish. However, if your father is Jewish and your mother is not, you are not, under Jewish law, Jewish. And that is how it stands today. So when I was studying for our passage in Acts for today, Acts 16 one through five, I was struck by an inconsistency in just exactly who was considered Jewish in the first century AD. Here's the passage and we'll read it. I don't usually read it first, but we're going to read it first. Paul came also to Derba and to Lystra. A disciple was there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek. He was well spoken of by the brothers at Lystra and Iconium. Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, and he took him and circumcised him because of all the Jews who were in these places. For they all knew that his father was a Greek. As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered to them for observance the decisions that had been reached by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem. So the churches were strengthened in the faith and they increased numbers daily. And if I have trouble reading here, this wasn't because of small print. I bought a new printer. My printer is double printing pages. I'm getting a new one on Friday, Aaron doesn't know that yet, but it's on its way. I can hardly read what's printed here. So forgive me if I'm slow on some of these. The rest, however, I hand wrote and that'll make it even harder to read. So what struck me here was that Timothy was the son of a Jewish mother and a Greek father. So under Jewish law, Timothy was Jewish, right? Jewish mother, Gentile father, you're Jewish. Jewish father, Gentile mother, you're not Jewish. So Timothy is Jewish. Why then did Paul find it necessary to circumcise Timothy because of all the Jews in the area who knew his father was Greek? But more importantly, if Timothy's mother was Jewish, why wasn't he already circumcised? What's going on here? Well, at the time of Acts 16, Jewishness was passed down through the father. It was not passed down through the mother. We were reading today in the Old Testament. Now the people of Reuben and the people of Gad had a very great number of livestock. You notice who they're referencing here? They're referencing the fathers. Jewishness back then, the Levi priests, the priests of the temple were to be sons of Levi. This is how Jewishness was passed down in these days. It was passed down through the father's line. It was what is called a patrilineal society, meaning the line came down from the potter, the father. The opposite of that, because I'm going to be using these terms, is a matrilineal society. That is one that comes down through the mother. That everything was ordained by your potter, who was your father. That's what was important. It was not matrilineal based on your mother. So when did the change occur? And I think you'll all be with me on this. Okay, when did this change occur? I want you to know and what I say is not suspect. It's actually true. I could not find this in any Christian writings. I couldn't find it in commentaries. So what do I do? I go to the Jewish sources on the internet, the respected Chabad .org. My Jewish learning is good. There's a few others. The only place I could find this referenced and I found it universally referenced in Jewish sources is that between 10 AD and 70 AD, this change came in and was institutionalized. Now, if you've been here with me for these teachings, an awful lot of things changed between 10 AD and 70 AD. And I know you know the answer to this, but what happened in 10 AD to 70 AD? Well, let's see. Jesus was 13 years old. What happened in the temple when Jesus was 13 years old? Well, that's right. He appeared there and studied with the teachers when his parents didn't know he was there and left him there. We suspect that who he spoke to was Gamaliel, Simeon, and my old friend who I'll never forget, their grandfather Hillel. Okay, so in 10 AD, Jesus was beginning his study. Then, you know, we get to 30 AD. We're into Jesus' ministry. Up comes his crucifixion and resurrection. The church starts. The church age is from 35 to 70 AD. The church age is still going on, mind you. But the beginning of the church, 35 to 70 AD, and then comes the destruction of the temple in 70 AD. And they are universal in Jewish circles to say that this change occurred specifically between 10 AD and 70 AD. The change was made in the writings of our old friend, the Mishnah. It was written down there that it was now determined that the Jewishness was to go through the mother. And it strikes me that just as the Old Testament was the pre -first century scriptures for Israel and the New Testament in the first century, in the post -first century, words from God concerning his church. The Old Testament was pre -first century. The New Testament was post -first century. The Old Testament was concerning the nation of Israel and their relationship to God. The New Testament is how to understand the Old Testament and to see the ushering in of the church age. And where the New Testament is the continuation and explanation of the Old Testament, the Mishnah in many ways is not the continuation of the Talmud, but it changes almost every significant rule of Judaism laid down in the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud. And the other major difference between the scriptures and the Talmud, of course, is that the scriptures are the word of God. And the Talmud was written by men as a commentary and as additional laws for the Jews. So last week, we saw that a sharp division arose between Paul and Barnabas on whether to take John Mark on the second missionary outreach the two men had planned. Barnabas was just as adamant that John Mark be included. This impasse led to the decision for the two great missionaries to go their separate ways. Barnabas taking John Mark with him to Cyprus, as we saw, and Paul traveling with Silas. We ended at verse 41 of chapter 15, which read, he, that is Paul, went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches. A chapter, verse 1a of chapter 16, which we come to today says, Paul came to Derbe and Lystra. Okay, that's verse 1a. When Paul told Barnabas, he wanted to visit the churches that were started in the wake of their first missionary trip, my somewhat orderly mind thought we would sail to Perga and then travel to Sidi and Antioch and then down to Iconium and then go on to Lystra and Derbe. But that is not what Paul did. Paul went in reverse order. And why did he decide to go in reverse order? Scripture doesn't say, and I suspect Paul didn't know why he was going in reverse order. But instead of sailing, Paul and Silas instead headed north by land. Now they had to cross a major mountain range and crossing it brought them down to Tarsus. Now, you might recall the city Tarsus. There is somebody we know that was called Saul of Tarsus, you know, who is now the Apostle Paul. So he started by heading back just as Barnabas had gone to Cyprus, his home country. The second trip, for reasons we don't know, perhaps he had family he wanted to see. We don't know why he went to Tarsus first. We just know he had to go to Tarsus because it was the only way to get to where he was going by the route he took. And nothing is told of his stay in Tarsus if indeed he stayed there at all. We don't know that he didn't just pass right through because scripture does not tell us and neither does history, secular history. Traveling on from Tarsus, the party had to cross another mountain range. Directly north of Tarsus. And so they approached, then approached Derbe from the south. Verse 41b says they came to Derbe and to Lystra Verse 1b says a disciple was there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer but his father was a Greek. So his mother was Eunice and we know this from 2 Timothy. His grandmother was named Lois. They figure prominently in letters of Paul to Timothy remembering of course that my rule of thumb is it's really good to be named in the Bible if you're not. Ananias and Sapphira and a few others. Lois and Eunice were highly thought of Christians in the early church. Now for Eunice to marry a Greek Gentile at the time was to break Jewish law. This was not allowed and people have wondered why as a Jewish believer she was allowed to do this. Well we know from Paul's first trip to Derbe and Lystra that these towns had a very small Jewish community with little influence in that region. And it is surmised for this reason that there were few suitable Jewish men that she was allowed to marry outside Judaism. While the ESV translation says that Timothy's father was a Greek, a more accurate reading would be that his father had been Greek implying that his father was dead. The past tense used in Greek showed that he was no longer alive. Timothy, second Timothy 1 .5 tells of Eunice's sincere Jewish faith. There Paul writes to Timothy I am reminded of your, Timothy's, sincere faith a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now I am sure dwells in you as well. And second Timothy 3 .15 speaks of Timothy's early instruction in Hebrew scriptures. Eunice, though married to a Gentile with a son therefore seen as a Gentile also chose to raise him as Jewish and take him to have him instructed in the scriptures. Indeed it was the duty of a Jewish parent married to a Gentile. Note that I just said parent. It didn't matter if it was a Jewish woman married to a Gentile man or a Jewish man married to a Gentile woman. It was their duty within Judaism to instruct their children in Jewish law and this Eunice had done. Eunice now was identified also as a Christian believer and she was undoubtedly one of those converted in Lystra by Paul and Barnabas on their first visit to there the previous year which was AD 48. Verse two says he and this again is Timothy was well spoken of by the brothers at Lystra and Iconium. Now Lystra and Iconium were several days travel apart. They were not side -by -side towns but undoubtedly the Christians in the area kept in touch as best they could. Timothy was thus known by the Christians of the surrounding area to be of superior character. Verse 3a says Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him and here is the reason that God directed Paul in his ministry to take a backward approach to his previous missionary trip. If he had repeated his trip he would have met Timothy in the last city on his second missionary trip. Instead he meets Timothy at the very beginning of the trip and this will prove important knowing that Timothy was a Greek father because we're going to see later that Paul doesn't just repeat his last trip he then ventures into Europe by way of Greece on this trip and having a native speaking Greek with him is going to be of importance and remember Silas that he took with him. He took with him from the Jerusalem church. Silas was a Hebrew Christian.

The Bible Recap
1 Chronicles 4: The Fate of the Tribe of Simeon
"Later in chapter four, we see that the tribe of Simeon is shrinking. Jacob hinted at this when he prophesied over Simeon way back in genesis 49, saying cursed be their anger for it is fierce and their wrath for it is cruel. I will divide them in Jacob and scatter them in Israel. And Moses also hinted at this in deuteronomy 33 right before he died when he was blessing the tribes and failed to offer a blessing to Simeon. It kind of blows my mind when I noticed that God has been dropping a trail of breadcrumbs for a few thousand years. And just so we don't forget what all this relates back to, it all started back in genesis 34 when Simeon and Levi killed all the men of shechem to avenge their sister dinah's rape. So if you think back to that prophecy from Jacob that I just mentioned, the one that says, I will divide them in Jacob and scatter them in Israel. That prophecy was for both Simeon and Levi for both brothers. And we see that Levi has been scattered and divided as well. The levites don't have their own land and they live spread out among the other tribes. God fulfilled Jacob's prophecy for both tribes.

Former Levi's Top Executive Jennifer Sey on Her Derailed Career
"Jennifer, welcome to the podcast. Great to have you. Here's an article about you, a prominent article in The New York Times. She was a candidate to lead Levi's. Then she started tweeting. It sounds like tweeting proof to be your downfall. Talk about, well, let's start by talking about your career at Levi's. Was it a happy career? Did it? Did it just sort of take a sharp turn? Talk a little bit about that. Men will come to what happened to you. Yeah, it did take a pretty sharp turn in March 2020. I started at the company in 1999 as an entry level marketing assistant. I worked hard and rose through the ranks and became the chief marketing officer in 2013, held that job for 8 years, which is a really long time to hold that post and be successful in it. Helped lead the brand back from near brink of bankruptcy, honestly in 2011. I loved the company. I loved the brand. I had worn it since I was a small child. You know, I loved it there. I built a strong team and friends and I felt very much a part of the culture. And excelled there. And in 2020, in the fall, I was promoted to brand president. So I oversaw all the product development, all the genes, people wear, the store design, all of it, as well as the marketing at that point. But just a few months before that, in March of 2020, I was very outspoken about school closures and restrictions to children. And so yes, I tweeted about it, but I also wrote op eds and appeared on news shows, and eventually after a two year conflict, I was told I needed to resign because I was a reputational risk to the company that wasn't true. Our brand was doing great recovering from COVID. But essentially, you know, they didn't like what I said. I challenged a deep pillar apparently of the Democratic Party platform, right? Stay closed until zero COVID. And so I was too dangerous to have around.

Gymnast Jennifer Sey Was Once Next in Line to Be CEO of Levi's...
"March 2021, I was invited to go on the Ingram angle on Fox. And I accepted because moms like me have been trying to get a national platform and had been unable to. And you know, I felt telling my story was important. These schools had been closed for over a year and there was no sign of them opening. And we saw our kids suffering. Once I did that, employees were already complaining that that really opened. The floodgates, as you might imagine, in a very woke company. And at that point, I was bombarded with accusations of racism. I was asked questions like, are you with us or against us? Are you one of us or one of them? What does that mean? Do you have any understanding what they were intimating, what the thread is there? Are you one of us one of who? And who are you? A Democrat. Are you a Democrat? And were you? Are you? I was. I'm not now, 'cause it's a lie, they're liars. So it escalated was this official was there some kind of HR action or was this all emails and innuendo and Skype meetings? How did this work out? There were, there were emails to HR, there were emails to my boss, the CEO. And again, you're right. It was a vocal and punitive minority. I don't believe it was a lot of people. But at this point, my peers, some of them were against me as well, that first woman that called me the head of corp comm was sending dossiers of things I posted on social media to my boss every day. So they were absolutely going after me and they were tired of me. And there was a small group of folks on social media who would go after me as well. There was a little cohort of gymnasts who called the ethics hotline repeatedly to say I was going to call the Levi's hotline. Yes, to report an ethics violation.

Why Jennifer Sey Walked Away From Her Role at Levi's
"That theme of sacrificing children continued into what happened with you at Levi. So tell us your story of what it was, what awful sin you committed under the conditions of the pandemic here in America. Well, I lived in San Francisco at the time, which is a very left leaning city, and it had very much aligned with my values or what I thought they were up until that time. But in March 2020, when the schools shut and San Francisco was the first city in America to shut schools, they also shut playgrounds for close to ten months. Basically, anything kids could do was not allowed. And I was very outspoken about this being wrong from day one from March 13th, 2020, even before that, really. I asked questions on social media. I attended school board meetings. I wrote op eds. In defense of children, it was very clear from the first that the risk was very age stratified and that this was going to cause more harm for our kids. While being completely ineffective in quote unquote, slowing the spread. And in San Francisco's school stay closed for 18 months, disrupted for two and a half years, and we are seeing the impacts of that now. And like I said, I was very outspoken about this. I was warned, time and again, that I needed to stop. So let's get into the details. So tell us the first instance, what were you told by the powers that be? And what was their justification for curtailing your First Amendment rights? So I did not get a call until September of 2020. So I've been at it for 6 months and hadn't heard anything. And to be honest, I was sort of waiting and wondering when I might. My peer, the head of corporate communications called me, we were all working virtual, so nobody popped by the office. And she said, people are noticing your social media. You need to remember that when you speak, you speak on behalf of the company and I said, I don't. I'm a mom. I don't have the company or my title and my profile. I'm a mom of four public school children, and she said, well, people don't like it. And I said, I understand that. I don't see really why that matters. Your kids are going back to school at in person private. Why can't I advocate for the same for public school children? She didn't really have an answer. She asked me to hold the line. I said, I don't really know what that means. And I said, this was a continuation of advocacy for children that I'd done in regards to children in the Olympic movement in sports, and it was too important to me. And I would keep it to kids, you know, I wouldn't branch out beyond that to lock downs and all the other things I was opposed to. But that this was too important.

Sebastian Sits Down With Former Elite Gymnast Jennifer Sey
"Say, welcome back to America first. Thanks for having me. Happy to be here. All right, so let's talk a little bit about you first. Because you have this amazing athletic career, but you also have this life in corporate America. So explain to us those two lives, how they melded and how you ended up at the top of one of the most famous companies in the world. Yeah, absolutely. I had an unusual childhood. I was an elite gymnast. As you mentioned, I was I made my first national team at ten years old and was on the national team until I was 18. One, the title of national champion in 1986. I suffered a lot of terrible injuries, a broken femur, femur, too broken ankles. I trained on broken bones. And ultimately, I left the sport despite my successes feeling fairly broken and ashamed. It's a very cruel and abusive coaching culture. And ultimately, 20 years after I left the sport, I continued to suffer from that night. And that's why I wrote the book. It was a memoir and it was really just my personal story, but it was reflective of the broader coaching culture. And I will tell you, it was not well received by the Olympic movement in the gymnastics community at the time. They were not ready for what I had to say, and I was smeared for the first time as a grifter and a liar, but ultimately was redeemed in 20 2018 when Larry Nassar went to prison for life. And for those that don't know, he was the team doctor for Team USA, gymnastics for over 30 years and sexually abused hundreds and hundreds of young athletes. And it was known by the powers that be in the sport, and they brushed it under the rug. They sacrificed children. So ultimately I was redeemed and folks came to my side to say they had agreed with me all along, which was a lie, but you know, I welcome them to the fight. But I started working at Levi's in 1999. I spent most of my professional life there. I was an entry level marketing assistant when I started worked my way up to chief marketing officer and then ultimately brand president. And I loved the company and the culture and the product. I'd worn the product since I was 6 years old. I traveled to Moscow in 1985 for the first ever goodwill games and packed my suitcase with lots of 5 O ones and traded them with Russian athletes. I mean, they were a symbol of freedom the world over.

"He says, speak no more to me of this matter. Go up to the top of pisgah, this top of this mountain, and look and behold the promised land. But you're going to die here. Now, that can seem harsh to us, but at the same time, it is true, isn't it? That the leaders among us and the teachers among us are held to a higher standard. And Moses is one of those, and he was held to a higher standard, not a standard, not a standard of perfection. But a higher standard nonetheless. And so we recognize all of us that, my gosh, lord, please help me. Because if you have a family, you're held to a higher standard, you're the mom or the dad of that family. If you're a teacher, you have a higher standard, James chapter three verse one says that. Not many of you should aspire to be teachers because you'll be held to a more strict judgment. All of us are in some ways responsible for others, and so here's Moses, who, in his responsibility, he failed that task. Nonetheless, he still was loved by the lord. He just meant that he couldn't enter the promised land. Sometimes the answer to our prayer is no, and today the answer to Moses prayer was now. And yet, God is faithful, and God still love Moses and God still loves you, and God still loves me. I'm praying for you. As we continue this journey through the Bible, we are going step by step. Just like the children of Israel, through the wilderness, and yeah, we can only do this if we pray for each other. So I'm praying for you. Please pray for me. My name is father Mike. I can not wait to see you again tomorrow. God bless.

"Records as he registers the people's this one was born there. Singers and dancers alike say, all my springs are in you. Father in heaven we give you praise and we thank you. Even in the midst of the depths, even in the midst of darkness, you are faithful. And we trust in you, amen, amen. We make this prayer in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. In the name of the father, you know the son, and of the Holy Spirit. Okay, quick, I want to highlight a couple of quick things. One is in numbers chapter three. What do we have? We have the tribe of Levi. Remember that, among the other tribes of Israel, the tribe of Levi was set apart, right? They had set themselves apart. You over dang yourselves this day, you know, when Levi, the tribe of Levi rose up against the other people of Israel, who had worshiped the golden calf. One thing that I think I may have not been clear about is the following. That while all of the tribe of Levi was set apart for service in the tabernacle service in the temple. Not every one of the tribe of Levi was a priest, and I think this is important. All priests have to be levites, but not all levites are priests. That could just be is an important note because I think that sometimes we can fall into the trap of thinking that, oh, if you serve in the tabernacle, if you're a levite, therefore, a priest. That's not exactly the case. And here in numbers, chapter three, it spells that out. It spells out that there were a number of the tribe of Levi, who were a set to particular tasks, right? So you have the sons of Levi gershon and co hatha murari, and so they're all given different tasks to do. So the family of gershon is on the west side of the tabernacle and they're given charge over the screen and the tent of meeting in its covering and you have co hath and it's on the south side and they're giving they're given a number of tasks would have been having to do with the ark and the table in the lamp stand. And so what we realize is that all levites are there for the service of the temple but not all are serving in the same particular way. And it is noted by the lord God here in numbers chapter three that you only the levites are those allowed to this have this temple service and among that tribe of Levi is the sons of Aaron and those are the ones who are the priests working in the service of offering up the worship or offering up performing out those rights and duties in the tabernacle. The other duties that have to do with maintaining and making sure that everything is running well, that has to do with those other families of the tribe of Levi. I hope that that makes sense. It is an often missed little piece that us as modern Christians can sometimes not understand or realize. So again, all priests are from the tribe of Levi, not all levites are priests. The next thing to kind of highlight is deuteronomy chapter three.

"The lord spoke with Moses on Mount Sinai. These are the names of the sons of Aaron, they dabbed the firstborn, and abihu, eleazar, and ifmar. These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the anointed priests whom he ordained to minister in the priest's office, but knabe and abihu died before the lord. When they offered unholy fire before the lord in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children. So eliezar and itamar served as priests in the lifetime of air in their father. Duties of the levites. And the lord said to Moses, bring the tribe of Levi near and set them before air in the priest that they may minister to him. They shall perform duties for him and for the whole congregation before the tent of meeting as the minister at the tabernacle. They shall have charge of all the furnishings of the tent of meeting and attend to the duties of the sons of Israel as they minister at the tabernacle. And you shall give the levites to Aaron and his sons, they are wholly given to him from among the sons of Israel. And you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall attend to their priesthood. But if anyone else comes near, he shall be put to death. And the lord said to Moses, behold, I have taken the levites from among the sons of Israel instead of every firstborn that opens the womb among the sons of Israel. The levites shall be mine. For all the first born, are mine. On the day that I slew all the first born in the land of Egypt, I consecrated for my own all the firstborn in Israel, both of man and of beasts, they shall be mine. I am the lord. Census of the levites. And the lord said to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, number the sons of Levi by father's houses, and by families. Every male from a month old and upward you shall number. So Moses numbered them according to the word of the lord as he was commanded. And these were the sons of Levi by their names. Gershon and kohat and marari. And these are the names of the sons of gershon by their families, libni, and chemia. And the sons of kohath by their families, amraam, is har, Hebron, and

Can We Have Gun Control and Protect Gun Rights?
"There is an interesting question. Let's try to work this through. Purely on a rational basis. Reason has to be number one, it can't be the only thing, but it has to be number one, or we can't speak to one another. If we do not share the laws of reason of rationality, then there's no possibility of speaking to one another. The subject should simply be avoided. I'm using reason you're not or you're using reason I'm not. And that ends all discussion. So it has to begin with reason. What can we agree on? So, for example, let us say the only guns owned in the United States. Were owned by the police, the armed forces, and a selected handful of guards, private guards, and individuals given a special permit because they have particularly dangerous work or are targets for assassination and a handful of hunters. So that would reduce the citizenship ownership of guns by Levi saying 95%. So that is the world that people on the progressive side, the leftist side, that is what they would like.

The Birth of Moses
"Exodus chapter one. These are the names of the sons of Israel, who came to Egypt with Jacob, each with his household. Rubin, Simeon, Levi, and Judah. Is a car, zebulon, and Benjamin, Dan and naftali, gad and Asher. All the offspring of Jacob were 70 persons, Joseph was already in Egypt. Then Joseph died, in all his brothers, and all that generation. But the descendants of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly, they multiplied and grew exceedingly strong so that the land was filled with them. Now there arose a new king over Egypt who did not know Joseph. And he said to his people, behold the sons of Israel are too many and too mighty for us. Come let us deal shrewdly with them lest they multiply, and if war befall us, they join our enemies and fight against us and escape from the land. Therefore, they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with heavy burdens, and they built for pharaoh store cities. But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied, and the more they spread abroad. And the Egyptians were in dread of the sons of Israel, so they made the sons of Israel serve with rigor and made their lives bitter with hard service in mortar and brick, and in all kinds of work in the field. In all their work, they made them serve with rigor. Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named shipra, and the other pua. New serve as midwife to the Hebrew women, and see them upon the birth duel, if it is a son, you shall kill him. But if it is a daughter she shall live. But the midwives feared God and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but let the male children live. So the king of Egypt called the midwives and said to them, why have you done this and let the male children live? The midwives said to pharaoh, because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are vigorous in our delivered before the midwife comes to them. So God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and grew very strong. And because the wind midwives feared God, he gave them families. Then pharaoh commanded all his people. Every son that is born to the hebrews, you shall cast into the Nile. But you shall let every daughter live. Now, a man from the house of Levi went and took to a wife a daughter of Levi. The woman conceived and bore a son, and when she saw that he was a goodly child, she hit him three months, and when she could hide him no longer, she took for him a basket, made of bulrushes, and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. And she put the child in it and placed it among the reeds at the river's bank. And his sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him. Now, the daughter of pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, and her maidens walked beside the river, and she saw the basket among the reeds. And sent her maid to fetch it. When she opened it, she saw the child and behold the baby was crying. She took pity on him and said, this is one of the hebrews children. Then his sister, said to pharaoh's daughter, shall I go and call you a nurse from the Hebrew women who can the child for you? And Faro's daughter, said to her, go. So the girl went, and called the child's mother,

This is a Bloomberg money minute. The housing sector continues to be hit hard. Bloomberg reporter Jordan yado says soaring mortgage rates are sidelining many would be buyers. Several months ago, they were looking at a very different financing picture than they are today. And so I think the decline in sales and construction is very much tied to this very rapid escalation in mortgage rates. Yadu adds there could be some relief in sight. When you look at market predictions a year ago, no one anticipated 7% mortgage rates, which is what we're seeing today. So it's hard to look at what some of the analysts are saying. Some of them are predicting a retreat in rates by the end of next year, but it's just so hard to say. Plus y'all do points out that many homeowners with lower interest rate mortgages are staying put, and that is negatively impacting the market. That's going to weigh on inventory and unfortunately for prospective buyers keep those prices elevated. And Kate's Bloomberg radio. But I know about courage, I learned from my adoptive mom.

Levi & Jennie Lusko Analyze How Suffering Is a Gift From God
"Of the difficult topic of suffering and seeing it as a gift from God. Yesterday I said the same thing. It's hard for the modern church to grab that because I thought the exchange was I trust in Christ and my life gets pretty easy and I get blessings and you know I'm not diminishing any of that because that's part of the Christian life too. But we've got to embrace the other side of this that's suffering in Christ. He said you will suffer. Right. For my name. Well, I just think of James when he says consider a pure joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that it produces and then he lists all these things. And I think that that is just, again, like Levi said that lens of faith where we just have to see that when we go through suffering, it's actually producing in us perseverance. And it's producing an endurance and it's producing in us just this stronger faith and trust in the lord. And I think that as we go through these things, it's so hard and yet there's a beauty in it. And I think sometimes we just want to have the good and the blessing. And like you said, there is blessing for the believer. There's strength for the believer. There's a beautiful abundant life for the believer. But that also is blended with pain and sorrow and suffering. 'cause look what our savior endured. He's the one who suffered. And the goal of our lives is to become more and more like Jesus. So it's that blending of the beauty and the blessing with the brutal Ness and the typical. The reality that every blessing you mentioned and more, God wants for us, it's just all the blessings you want are on the other side of the trials that none of us want to face.

Levi Lusko: Hubble Space Telescope as a Spiritual Metaphor
"You like to talk about the Hubble telescope, how do you use that as a spiritual metaphor? It's a great story because the year is 1990 and Hubble has just been launched and they spend a billion and a half dollars on it. A lot of people thought it wasn't worth the money. But they said, no, if we can get this thing out there above the atmosphere, it can see the heavens and broadcast back to earth what it's seeing on obstructed and will have a greater understanding of our solar system and universe. And so they get this thing launched and they fire it up and everyone's sitting at NASA in the first image loads and it's blurry. Second image blurry, third all the images are blurry. It's worthless. It's very good at a lot of things. It just can't see very far because they miss calibrated the primary optical component, making Hubble basically nearsighted. Hubble needed glasses, guys. So what they did was they loaded up the same lens, but with the same problem backwards, and they loaded it up on space shuttle endeavor. They caught Hubble. Now mind you, it's moving 17,000 miles an hour, 366 miles above the earth, and they put the basically they put a contact lens in front of it. And when they fired it up afresh, all the images became crisp, and until James Webb telescope gets launched, presumably in the next 12 months or so, Hubble has been and remains the gold standard in telescopes that have ever reported images back of the deep space field, et cetera, et cetera. The story is cool because it shows us this. When Hubble was looking at the universe and sending blurry images back, the images it was seeing were in 3D. They were beautiful. They were crisp. The problem was the lens. And the lens it was looking through. And I think for a lot of us, when we look at our lives and we look at the pain that we face, we see blurry. And it's not that the things we're looking at are the problem. It's to how we're seeing them that is.

Levi & Jennie Lusko Share the Tragic Story of Losing Their Daughter
"Next thing. But for him to say, okay, now I'm ready to just relax because my message is done and now we can enjoy. Family day with our kids. And this is in the driveway. In the driveway my mom's house. So now you walk in. So my brother runs out and says, lenya needs you. And so I run in and my mom had asthma, Olivia, our oldest has asthma, Levi has asthma, it's kind of a normal thing in our life to have inhalers and albuterol nebulizer and everything. But she wasn't taking her medicine that night and my mom, I walk in and letting us sitting on the counter and my mom's trying to give her the nebulizer, but she just wasn't taking it. And so she turns pale and just passes out on the kitchen counter. Levi runs in because he had just parked the car. He runs in and just immediately he's so good in these situations just starts doing what he had learned of CPR and mouth to mouth and I'm just like all of a sudden realizing, okay, this is a bad situation. I'm praying. It's going to be okay. It's going to be okay. And we call 9-1-1. And it's winter in Montana it's December 20th. So the roads are icy and it's snowing outside and it's so the paramedics finally come and come in and take them to the hospital. And I just felt this cold feeling of like, this is not happening and this is not going to end well. I could just feel the grimness in their faces. I think when they were working. And I had asked them while they were working on it and I said, does she have a heartbeat? Does she have a heartbeat? And they said, not right now. And so she was coded non responsive in the house.

Levi & Jennie Lusko Explain How They Found Their Way to Montana
"So let me take you to a moment in your marriage. I think it was fairly early on when you had this crisis of vocation, maybe if I could call it that the vocation of location, your successful pastor, John Kelly. Yeah, Dr. Seuss, I've read a few of those. But then they were stripped away. Too soon. Too soon. But your pastor in California, you're thriving there. You're very successful. And you bump into somebody who says, hey, you might want to think about coming to Montana or Idaho. Montana, yeah. Yeah, we felt like California made sense for us. You know, all our lives, I actually grew up in Colorado, raised in New Mexico, Jenny from California. We ended up in Orange County. And we were just a mile away from the beach, you know, a couple thousand people in the church we were teaching at, it felt like it all roads had led to that moment. Season passes to Disneyland, you know. It's where God wanted you. It felt right, honestly. And at that point, there came this incredible, ridiculous idea. Go to Montana and start a church. Now, we're not ranchers, you know, I don't look like Kevin Costner. You know, I just don't, it doesn't, it didn't make sense to us. And yet we couldn't, you know, when you know God speaking to you and it almost irritates you because you just know he is and you almost wish you could pretend you didn't hear him. We felt like we needed to move to Montana and started church, which didn't make sense.

"Treaty. Patrolling the winery until two thousand nine when he sold the place and he was big into dry wine. Right as one of the pioneers for dry wine dry riesling for false for sure yeah ended burned ever tell you why. He decided to focus so heavily on dry wine. When it wasn't something has grandfather had done. I think it just did what he liked to drink right so he like to drink priory sling and that's what it and he didn't make sweet wants to but not as much as as in the past. Also i mean they're sweet wines from false were not in fashion anymore so there was a reason to focus a little bit dry one. Oh i see. And he's to age. Enlarge would write a year while larger largest not good expression. Actually it's old would right so what we do is all barrels and the oldest bearers about one hundred twenty years old. The nearest we used for easily as about forty years old. The biggest size six thousand liters. The smallest is two hundred forty leaders. But it's all over shaped all like the staves and Neutral barrel sawed the barrels bend over steam and not over fire. So that's why we cannot really talk about an ocht riesling but it's actually permitted an oak right. So that's that's what the winery always did. So we're the last the nas and the first one false who do that. It would have been german would or yes at mainly oak from the falls forest and there are few barrels which is not. But that's only because chestnut cheaper becca days but there's no difference in taste not at all. Sometimes people would say that burns winds had a hint of volatility. Like in the a little stuff going on was that is maybe because longley's contact. I mean we have the winds on the lease for nine months ten months sometimes fifteen months and the over trade barrels. They stand for a long lease suspension pension. So the least doesn't settle asphalt which is good so the wine longer in contact with a finalist. So there's a volatility may be but volatility is a is a nice word with many meanings. But i would more bank that as from the least contact and also the air influence from that oak from the word right. It's not like staying steeler. it's not sealed. It's naturally air influence. But the wine at the end is not oxidized when you ferment. The wine it's from ended in wood. And is that closed up or open top toast close radio so it's not really oxidative. I would agree on that yet. But there's you know like a little talk about that but it's a it's a influence. Let's put it this way but actually you guys do very little racking. Yes that is true. We do wreck. Basically two weeks before bottling. We believe that the lease gives us a little bit more backbone for the winds and at the same time it protected from oxygen right and we will need a little bit less offer. Hopefully so when the grapes come in you guys use whole cluster. Or do you take the stems outer we do crush. Basically all we get in and then they are overnight on the skins usually one night maybe a little longer than repress them off but stainless steel at that point. And i won't let the solids settle for about two days three days and then we We train the truth into the barrels. And that's all by gravity and just wait until feminization kicks off your fan of native. Yes yes i mean. That's part of the in detroit. And part of our philosophy the diversity you get from native eustis on comparible to To the pack so after alcoholic. And then maybe mallow maybe matter so that is a metal as another another word. We don't really look for We don't look for a medal and wind. But if it's happening in barra dos happened. Then we don't stop it right. We don't nucleated and usually doesn't happen. We peak ripe. So there's not much left to convert into lactic but that's what we do. We do. Wait until imitations over a number. Still let it on the lease like i said right before. Bottling so that's about a year yes true without wrecking to. That's what it is. I mean that's somewhat unusual. Right it is it is these days. It is back like hundred years ago. Eight years ago it was standard but for us. It's it. is dan now. Can you think of a lot of people in germany who make wine in that fashion and funds lead on thinks. Oh there's you know there's always some barrels and some wineries but one hundred percent that method where the only ones all over germany. I don't know maybe there are a few more in the muslim. Maybe someone is on the line. Go but and false. Where the only one reminds me somewhat of like becker j. becker the that's true. Jv beggars winery. Many people compare wants to make that old school fashioned recently side and you guys actually label with products which is unusual for dry wines while unusual these days. We are very proud of that. And that's actually one of the reasons we left the vp in two thousand fourteen. Which was a big deal for. All of us i think and hopefully for the as well like i told you before. Mr khuda joined natural want wine auction us and they were founded because they don't want to jeopardize wine. They were very proud of that. That they don't tap the lights and they work with a major label. Everything with product to guarantee the customer that the wind did not get trapped allies..

"The nineteen seventy-one lot didn't limit yields and didn't much distinguish between single vineyards and large groupings of vineyards. Under one name it also allowed for the chaptalization of some wines and iga mueller of the shirts off. Winery recalled his family's resistance to the nineteen seventy one law as well as the changes that that law brought along with it. I was twelve years old when the famous nineteen seventy-one wine at all was passed. And i still remember how my father was up against. It probably be the biggest failure of the seventy one. Wine all is that it muddled the distinction between check allies wines. Where sugar is added before feminization in order to increase the alcoholic strength of wine and the traditional natural lines as we call them where it was strictly forbidden to add sugar and Those ways winds at have made germany. Great one hundred years ago. The winds with no added sugar. The winds with no added sugar and it was a decision that Legras was at that time took knowing that they would have to sacrifice in many years because not every vintage was by itself. Ripe enough to be bottled non capitalized. But the news at the great vintages would be even greater Boys out sugar at it and they made a big sacrifice to completely before go chapter legislation and hundred years ago and he stayed like ours was not even allowed to make chapter last wine to check lies winding their own sellers and my grandfather and my father sold many vintages in bulk because winds simply not ripe enough and after seventy one that Distinction was muddled. And i think today we are getting to a point where it becomes more and more obsolete perhaps and wear sometimes consumers are not even asked anymore what they want and by not talking about it. consumers often forget that they have a choice. The nineteen seventy-one law had affects that changed the landscape of german wine. Quite literally in that some vineyard names disappeared or were obscured into larger vineyard groupings in response to the vp attempted to bring recognition to top vineyards and to impose limits on yields but the allowance for chaplains ation that was permitted for some wines. In the nineteen seventy-one law was also allowed by the vp and that stance on chaptalization would eventually lead drama alert to the disagreement between the color ruprecht winery and the vp chapter in the false regular. Corks have a problem. And that is that they are on predictable. You wanna know that the closure on your bottle of wine won't let you down by letting in oxygen or not enough oxygen but regular corks are all over the place when it comes to oxygen ingress and you can never know for sure until it's too late to do anything about it enter. Dm is the technological court closure for still wine sparkling wine and spirits made of cork material and cleaned via super critical co two process dm enables winemakers.
