Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are last break of the
- 0:02Speaker 1: day on this Friday, the thirteenth, the day before Valentine's Day.
- 0:06Speaker 1: Happy Valentine's Day to all of you. I love you
- 0:08Speaker 1: all right. Happy Valentine's Day conditionally? Yeah I do. Yeah,
- 0:16Speaker 1: that's me a mind come with conditions. I love you
- 0:21Speaker 1: depends on who you are, like you, I've been feeling
- 0:26Speaker 1: that that as a Christian for years now. I know
- 0:29Speaker 1: how to I don't even know how I love everybody.
- 0:32Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think that's capable. I don't
- 0:34Speaker 1: think I'm really capable of that. That's a lot I
- 0:37Speaker 1: got to work on. I'm not capable of loving everybody.
- 0:40Speaker 1: I know you're supposed to, but I just don't know
- 0:43Speaker 1: how that's possible, you know, because if you keep doing
- 0:48Speaker 1: stuff to me, and you keep intentionally trying to bring
- 0:52Speaker 1: about harm to me, it's gonna be really hard for
- 0:54Speaker 1: me to do that. And I know we're supposed to
- 0:56Speaker 1: as people, but that's really really hard to do it.
- 0:59Speaker 1: And I think that's what makes the walk of the
- 1:02Speaker 1: spiritual walk a challenging one. And I think that's why
- 1:06Speaker 1: God set up forgiveness, because you have to be forgiven
- 1:10Speaker 1: because there's none perfect, no, not one. I was in
- 1:12Speaker 1: Vegas one time and I was at this restaurant having
- 1:15Speaker 1: dinner and I was sitting across the table from these
- 1:17Speaker 1: white guys, about four of them, it's about six of
- 1:20Speaker 1: them having dinner. One of them was pretty buffed hat
- 1:22Speaker 1: on the tank top and everything, and they were talking.
- 1:25Speaker 1: They looked over and they recognized me, and they said, hey,
- 1:27Speaker 1: Steve Harvey, why don't you come and join us? It
- 1:29Speaker 1: was just me and my buddy. I said, no, no,
- 1:30Speaker 1: we're good man, because I'm not gonna go sit at
- 1:32Speaker 1: a table some people I never met before. And they
- 1:35Speaker 1: were talking about, hey, man, come on over with Christians,
- 1:37Speaker 1: and I went, well, that's cool, but you know what
- 1:40Speaker 1: that got to do with me wanting to eat with
- 1:42Speaker 1: you though. And then dinner was over and I was
- 1:45Speaker 1: walking out and they said, hey man, we really were
- 1:47Speaker 1: kind of hurt that you didn't come sit with us.
- 1:50Speaker 1: And I said, well, sir, I don't really know y'all.
- 1:53Speaker 1: And I came down to have dinner with my buddy
- 1:55Speaker 1: and we were talking over a couple of things. Well,
- 1:58Speaker 1: you know, man, we're Christian. I think is Christian since
- 2:00Speaker 1: we should always fellowship. I said, well, brother, I don't.
- 2:03Speaker 1: I don't really know you. I said, you know, I'm
- 2:05Speaker 1: not judging you, but I don't know you. And I
- 2:08Speaker 1: don't really sit and have dinner with people I don't
- 2:10Speaker 1: know because I'll get very little free time. In the
- 2:13Speaker 1: time I do have, I spend it with people I know.
- 2:16Speaker 1: So no offense to you, brother, but that's all. Well,
- 2:19Speaker 1: we just want you to know that we're from the
- 2:21Speaker 1: Church of Perfection. I said, oh okay. He said, do
- 2:25Speaker 1: you follow that doctrine at the church you at tea?
- 2:27Speaker 1: I said, I don't really go to church no more. Well,
- 2:30Speaker 1: how can you be a Christian that don't go to church.
- 2:33Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I just I just say't been
- 2:35Speaker 1: in a while. I said, hey, man, nice talking to y'all.
- 2:37Speaker 1: We can we take a second here so we can
- 2:39Speaker 1: explain you the doctrine of perfection. I said, no, I
- 2:42Speaker 1: really don't. Whatever you're doing, man, that's your thing. Go ahead,
- 2:46Speaker 1: Well we practice perfection. We are, we are practicing the
- 2:51Speaker 1: perfection of Christ. I said, well, you ain't gonna make it.
- 2:56Speaker 1: And I don't know why. I ain't just walk off,
- 2:59Speaker 1: but I them have it. I said, well, you ain't
- 3:01Speaker 1: gonna make it. Well, how can you say that? I said, Well,
- 3:06Speaker 1: because my mama was Sunday school teaching. I was raised
- 3:09Speaker 1: to understand that there's none perfect, no, not one. Well,
- 3:15Speaker 1: that don't mean you shouldn't practice it. I said, well,
- 3:18Speaker 1: go ahead, man, I said, but you ain't gonna make
- 3:20Speaker 1: it though, How can you say we won't make it?
- 3:23Speaker 1: I said, right here, right now, what you argue with
- 3:25Speaker 1: me about? I said, where is Christ in that right there?
- 3:31Speaker 1: They said, well, if you don't practice it, who are
- 3:33Speaker 1: you to tell us what is Christ? Like? I said, man,
- 3:37Speaker 1: I said, man, look here, my bad let me tell
- 3:40Speaker 1: you what I'm finna go do. I'm finna go hit
- 3:43Speaker 1: this dice table. That's what I'm finna do. Now. If
- 3:46Speaker 1: y'all ally was all that bigger perfectionists, why y'all having
- 3:49Speaker 1: dinner in Vegas? Because just outside of this restaurant, all
- 3:53Speaker 1: that noise we're hearing, that's what I'm here for. And I, well,
- 3:57Speaker 1: we have in our convention here. I say, what, people
- 4:02Speaker 1: that's practicing perfection comes to Vegas? And they sat there
- 4:07Speaker 1: with their mouth hanging open, And probably was a day
- 4:10Speaker 1: later I saw one of them play on a slot machine.
- 4:15Speaker 1: I just look at people man. I've had so many times, man,
- 4:19Speaker 1: just because I used to love going to Vegas. You know,
- 4:20Speaker 1: one time I had this lady was standing there watching
- 4:23Speaker 1: me shoot dice. I was shooting dice next to Dennis Rodney,
- 4:26Speaker 1: and this lady was watching us shoot dice for about
- 4:30Speaker 1: at least an hour, and Dennis was he was hot,
- 4:34Speaker 1: then he was going cold. I don't bet a lot
- 4:36Speaker 1: of money, but I bet I enjoy shooting dice. And
- 4:39Speaker 1: I went to the restroom, and the restroom happened to
- 4:41Speaker 1: be right over there by the dice table, so you
- 4:44Speaker 1: could come out of the restroom and see the dice
- 4:46Speaker 1: table the craft table I was shooting at. When I
- 4:48Speaker 1: came out of the restroom, the same lady that I
- 4:51Speaker 1: had noticed over there watching us stepped out right in
- 4:54Speaker 1: front of me and said, Steve Harvey, I am really
- 4:58Speaker 1: disappointed in you, and I thought that I should have,
- 5:03Speaker 1: you know, put mo on nine or something. She was
- 5:06Speaker 1: watching the game. I didn't know what she was disappointed.
- 5:09Speaker 1: I said, what you disappointed me in? What she said?
- 5:11Speaker 1: I thought you were a Christian. I said, I am
- 5:14Speaker 1: a Christian. What you talking about? I've been standing here
- 5:18Speaker 1: watching you shoot dice for over an hour, and you're
- 5:20Speaker 1: supposed to be a Christian. I said, ma'am, you've been
- 5:23Speaker 1: standing here watching me shoot dice for for an hour.
- 5:26Speaker 1: I said, how you get in here? I said? What
- 5:29Speaker 1: you in here for? I'm in here to shoot dice?
- 5:32Speaker 1: You in here to watch me shoot dice? Which form
- 5:35Speaker 1: of Christianity you practice it? Well? I'm not shooting dice,
- 5:40Speaker 1: I said, but you're watching me, I said, lady. I
- 5:46Speaker 1: didn't say this to her, but I walked off thinking,
- 5:49Speaker 1: you know, if you watching porn, does that make you
- 5:54Speaker 1: better than the person that's in the porn movie? Oh?
- 6:00Speaker 1: Let me just ask. So you know what I've learned
- 6:03Speaker 1: man in my life that there are none perfect, no
- 6:07Speaker 1: not one. Try as you may, you are not perfect,
- 6:11Speaker 1: and stop letting other people put they ideals of perfection
- 6:15Speaker 1: on you, because God is really clear There's none perfect, no,
- 6:20Speaker 1: not one, not even them. Y'all have a great day
- 6:23Speaker 1: to day, live the best life you can, and when
- 6:26Speaker 1: you need and when you need forgiveness, go to God
- 6:29Speaker 1: for because everybody go need it, including them. Those are
- 6:34Speaker 1: my closed remarks today. Y'all have great day today. Talk
