Episode 56 - The Truth About Kava / Yaqona / Grog.
60:30
47:20
then verse 8 says, As I live, says the Lord God, surely because my flock became a prey, P-R-E-Y, because my flock became a prey and my flock became food for every beast of the field because there was no shepherd, nor did my shepherds search for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed my flock.
47:56
Behold, I am against the shepherds and I will require my flock at their hand.
48:03
I will cause them to cease feeding the sheep and the shepherds shall feed themselves no more.
48:10
For I will deliver my flock from their mouths that they may no longer be food for them.

no wonder because in tonga they have to drink the cover while lusting towards the door that's sitting there so
Episode 55 - WHEN CULTURE REPLACES CHRIST: Tabua, the Highest Treasure in Fiji.
55:55
And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write, these things says he who has the sharp two-edged sword.
56:11
And you hold fast to my name and did not deny my faith, even in the days which Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan's dwells.
56:25
But I have a few things against you because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balaam to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality.
56:42
Thus, you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
56:51
Repent! or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

EPISODE 54 - YOU CANNOT SERVE BOTH GOD AND CULTURE.
9:10
you might not know it will miss the mark totally that is why jesus said no one is fit for the kingdom of god who keeps looking back you get it yeah think of this verse first peter 1 17 to 19 says and if you call on the father who without partiality judges according to the to each one's work conduct yourselves throughout the time you are here in fear and verse 18 listen to verse 18 knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things like silver or gold from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers.
9:56
But, verse 19, with the precious blood of Christ as a lamb without blemish and without spot.
10:13
From the world of darkness, we have been redeemed by the blood of Christ.
10:18
From tradition, it says so in this verse that we have been redeemed from our aimless conduct received by tradition from our fathers.

So what is it in our culture, Mary, that you think that we are idolizing before God? If you want to dive deeper into
1:47
In Matthew 15, 6, Jesus himself explained, saying, Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition.
1:59
And tradition is part of our culture, right? All traditional practices.
2:06
So if Jesus himself has said that you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition, then I don't know how else we could change that to say that our tradition is okay.
2:25
But if Jesus himself has said you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition, then There is really something wrong about our tradition.
