Alright, thank you very much, and hello again, dear radio friends. How in the world are you? Now, we’ve been looking at Romans chapter 15. What I did a while back – and this is for those of you who are just joining us. We started in Romans 12 in discussing the practical application of the truth that Paul has been giving in the preceding 11 chapters of Romans. Romans 12 to the end of the book constitute a practical application of truth. And so we’ve been sort of walking around in these verses and now we’ve come to chapter 15.

And the last time we got together, we were asking and answering the question “What do you do when you feel like giving advice?” Paul gives us a very good idea here. He says in verse 14, “I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another. Nevertheless, brethren, I have written the more boldly unto you in some sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of God.” If you’re going to give anybody any advice whether it’s the teenager in your family or a friend or neighbor or co-worker whatever it may be, let it be reminder not lecture.

My good friend, Ben Weiss, taught me something a good many years ago that I have always remembered. He said the rule in teaching anybody anything is “Things remembered as though they were things forgot, and things taught as though we taught them not.” Instead of saying “I want you to know this,” you can say, “Oh, by the way, have you ever thought of this?” Vincent Bruschweiler taught me also many years ago how to get anything through a committee. He said, “You never bring a thing up front in a committee and ask people to vote “Yes” on it because most of the time they’ll vote “No” because it’s a new idea”.

“So,” said he, “What you do is you drop the idea as a seed thought after the adjournment of the deacons meeting or whatever it may be. You drop it as a seed thought. ‘Wouldn’t it be wonderful if,’ and then you just drop it and say nothing more about it. Six weeks to six months later somebody else will bring it up as his own idea,” said he, “and then you oppose it and it’ll go through.” Well, I don’t know. I said that one time at a ministers meeting at Dayton, Ohio. And a young man who had been listening intently not realizing that he was speaking out loud said, “Now, I know what I’ve been doing wrong.”
