  Hello. Welcome to the No God Coach
• 0:02
  Huddle for June 3rd, 2025. Your
• 0:04
  two-minute play of the day for applying
• 0:06
  God's word in your life. So, let's
• 0:08
  huddle up and hear today's play from
• 0:10
  Luke 18, which says, "Jesus looked at
• 0:12
  him and said, "How hard it is for the
• 0:15
  rich to enter the kingdom of God."
• 0:17
  Indeed, it's easier for a camel to go
• 0:19
  through the eye of a needle than for
• 0:20
  someone who is rich to enter the kingdom
• 0:23
  of God. Jesus looked at the rich man who
• 0:26
  was speaking with him about entering
• 0:28
  heaven and told him, "It's easier for a
• 0:30
  camel to go through the eye of a sewing
• 0:33
  needle than for a rich man to enter
• 0:35
  heaven." This was a good man as he
• 0:38
  obeyed the law for many years. But he
• 0:40
  was not going to heaven, which was the
• 0:42
  goal of his obedience. What choice did
• 0:45
  the rich man have? He'd come to Jesus to
• 0:48
  hear from him what was necessary for
• 0:50
  entering heaven. The answer the rich man
• 0:53
  received was not what he wanted to hear
• 0:55
  and so he rejected Jesus. What is the
• 0:59
  return eternal result of such a choice?
• 1:02
  It's hell, not heaven. We all do this.
• 1:05
  We want our own religion and we want God
• 1:07
  to conform to it. But he doesn't and he
• 1:10
  won't. And when he judges us, he will
• 1:13
  condemn all those who refuse to conform
• 1:15
  to his commands. The rich man wanted to
• 1:18
  believe that his understanding of what
• 1:21
  pleased God was more accurate than God
• 1:23
  himself telling him what pleased God.
• 1:26
  The Bible is God telling us what pleases
• 1:29
  him. Yet we ignore it. We reject it
• 1:32
  comforting ourselves with the notion
• 1:35
  that we are good people doing the right
• 1:37
  things that God will reward us. The
• 1:40
  epitome of our arrogance is our
• 1:41
  insistence on our own way to heaven
• 1:44
  which conflicts with a clear way
• 1:46
  revealed by God in Jesus. The only way
• 1:49
  to heaven according to scripture. This
• 1:51
  is our dilemma. Believe ourselves or
• 1:54
  believe the Bible. Believe the majority
• 1:56
  or believe the few who believe the
• 1:58
  Bible. We are gambling with our eternal
• 2:01
  souls. God's ways leads to everlasting
• 2:04
  life in love, joy, peace with all those
• 2:08
  who have also loved him and obeyed his
• 2:11
  commands. Our ways lead to eternal
• 2:14
  suffering, torment, and pain and
• 2:16
  suffering forever. God is love and he's
• 2:19
  revealed by his love with his
• 2:21
  instructions on how to live forever with
• 2:24
  him in the scriptures. Then making that
• 2:26
  possible through the life, death, and
• 2:28
  resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Are we
• 2:31
  the rich man believing we know best what
• 2:34
  pleases God while we ignore his command
• 2:36
  to love him with all of our heart, soul,
• 2:38
  mind, and strength, proven by our
• 2:40
  complete allegiance to him above
• 2:42
  everything and every person on earth? Or
• 2:45
  have we abandoned the things of this
• 2:46
  world to live forever in the next world,
• 2:49
  proven by our total commitment to
• 2:51
  working toward God's kingdom coming to
• 2:53
  earth as it is in heaven.
