  Welcome to the No God Coach Huddle for
• 0:02
  May 18, 2025. Your two-minute play of
• 0:05
  the day for applying God's word in your
• 0:08
  life. So, let's huddle up and hear
• 0:09
  today's play from Deuteronomy 22, which
• 0:12
  says, "If you see your fellow
• 0:13
  Israelites, ox or sheep, straying, do
• 0:16
  not ignore it, but be sure to take it
• 0:18
  back to its owner. If they do not live
• 0:20
  near you, or if you do not know who owns
• 0:22
  it, take it home with you and keep it
• 0:24
  until they come looking for it, then
• 0:26
  give it back. Do the same. If you find
• 0:28
  their donkey or cloak, or anything else
• 0:31
  they've lost, do not ignore it. If you
• 0:33
  see your fellow Israelites donkey, ox,
• 0:35
  or fallen on the road, do not ignore it.
• 0:38
  Help the owner get it to its feet.
• 0:41
  Neighborliness used to be a common word
• 0:43
  in our vocabulary, especially in the
• 0:45
  home and in the school. It meant the
• 0:47
  practical means by which we obey God's
• 0:49
  command to love our neighbor as
• 0:51
  ourselves.
• 0:52
  The allowance of the removal of God from
• 0:54
  public schools by weak Christian leaders
• 0:57
  has resulted in an increasingly less
• 0:59
  neighborly society. Neither has it
• 1:02
  helped that fewer and fewer read the
• 1:04
  Bible or study it with their fellow
• 1:06
  parishioners who call themselves
• 1:07
  Christians. While we are free from the
• 1:09
  law to help our neighbor with his broken
• 1:12
  down donkey, we are not free from the
• 1:14
  law of love for those whose car is
• 1:16
  broken down. Thinking of others in
• 1:18
  general, then specifically, how can we
• 1:20
  love our neighbor as ourselves
• 1:22
  practically must increase in the hearts
• 1:24
  and minds of Christians for the world to
• 1:26
  see and experience more of the
• 1:28
  transformation that happens when a
• 1:31
  person is truly born again. Likewise, we
• 1:34
  must teach our children these things and
• 1:35
  insist upon them in our homes where
• 1:38
  neighborliness is first learned and
• 1:39
  applied. If the parent is truly obedient
• 1:42
  to God's command to train up their
• 1:44
  children in the way they are to go, we
• 1:46
  are born sinful, which means we are born
• 1:48
  selfish and self-centered. We see this
• 1:51
  nature in toddlers daily and
• 1:53
  unfortunately increasingly in adults. We
• 1:56
  can train through law and discipline
• 1:58
  thoughtfulness for others until our
• 2:00
  children are old enough to understand
• 2:02
  and love the thoughtfulness of others
• 2:04
  because of its goodness in society for
• 2:06
  them and everyone else. This is what
• 2:08
  Christian parents must do even as they
• 2:11
  model the same before their
