When your year’s earnings are stolen and you need a quick way to make some cash on the cheap, you invent chocolate chip cookies. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom-and-pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Steven’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [North Texas Gutters Ad] Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here, along with Stephen Semple. Gosh, Stephen just keeps coming up with topics that are just so near and dear to my heart, and I think I might know the essence of this. Is it an empire? We’re going to talk about the birth of the chocolate chip cookie. Stephen Semple: Sure, but what’s the empire? There’s a lot sold? Dave Young: There’s a lot of… Boy, if you would have invested in chocolate chip cookies back in the day, think how much you’d have today. I’m guessing this has to do with Toll House- Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: … and the inn… Was it an inn or a woman’s name? Stephen Semple: Yes. Inn. Dave Young: It was an inn. They’ve told the story I think on the bags or something. Anyway, have at it. I’m all in on chocolate chip cookies. Stephen Semple: So it’s the late 1920s and cookies have actually emerged as a business. The National Biscuit Company, Nabisco- Dave Young: 1920s. Stephen Semple: … yeah, has been a top seller for the last 20 years with their Oreo, mainly bought in stores, not made at home. Basically, to really understand the birth, we’ve got to go back to Whitman, Massachusetts, to Ruth Wakefield, who taught Home Ec, and she was also college-educated and she was interested in cooking. Ruth, her husband Ken, quit their job, invest their life savings into converting a 19th-century old home into a restaurant. They want to create a restaurant of their dreams, has these seven tables, doing traditional New England food, even has a kid’s menu with a dessert menu, but by the time they open the doors, it’s 1930. They’ve invested two years in doing this. Dave Young: Oh, no. And? Stephen Semple: And they’re down to their last few dollars. Now, they had picked a location with lots of traffic. They had picked a location that was basically where wealthy people traveled from Boston to Cape Cod and went through this area. They called the restaurant the Toll House. Now, because it was located on an old toll road, it was not the toll building, but it was located on an old toll road. Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: Things started slow, but word got out and it started to get busy and they were known for their desserts, including the simplest. They did this butter pecan cookie that came with ice cream. Soon, customers are requesting the cookie without the ice cream. So they add cookies, they add these cookies as a standalone dessert. It’s 1935. It’s Labor Day. It’s the end of season. They’ve got lots of cash. They’ve done really well, and they are robbed. Dave Young: Oh, no. Stephen Semple: All their money is gone. They’re now at this crisis point because they’re the end of the season- Dave Young: Were they keeping all their money in a cookie jar? Stephen Semple: Perhaps. Basically, it’s the end of the season, they have no money, and they need to make something that is affordable, but it won’t cost much to make so they can create cash. They start with the butter pecan cookie, but then, she has this idea of a chocolate cookie. Dave Young: Yeah, pecans are expensive. Stephen Semple: Right, right. So Ruth says, “Okay, here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to take a baker’s chocolate bar. I’m going to cut it up and add it to this cookie.” That was the idea. Now, they’re made out of baker’s chocolate, which is unsweetened, and it didn’t work out so well, and so they then started taking a Nestle semi-sweet bar and they took basically an ice pick to that and chip it away and let small pieces into it, which then created this sweetness without it being overly sweet. Dave Young: Yeah, because you’ve got the sweetness of the sugar and the dough and all of that working for you, too. Stephen Semple: Yeah, and they called them chocolate crunch cookies. Dave Young: Chocolate crunch cookies. Stephen Semple: Because remember it was the pecan. They were still a pecan with the chocolate chips. Dave Young: Oh, okay. Stephen Semple: And people started asking for the recipe. In fact, Boston Globe newspaper published the recipe and the recipe went crazy. Now- Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: … enter Edouard Muller, who’s the Nestle CEO, and he’s in the US office. Sales are down 60% because war breaks out in Europe, not down in the US, but he wants to break into the US market because the US market is small for them at that point. He sees this sales spike in the Northeast. He’s like, “There’s this 500% increase in sales around Whitman, Massachusetts area.” Dave Young: Of Nestle chocolate. Stephen Semple: Right. He’s like, “What’s going on with that?” So he approaches them about buying the rights for the recipe. Dave Young: Okay. Didn’t know you could do that, but sure. Stephen Semple: Well, and in many ways, one could argue it was published by the newspaper, so it was in public domain, but he approaches them and he says, “Look, I want the rights to this recipe.” They pay her a dollar for it, plus hire her as a consultant, publish the recipe on the package and share the name of the restaurant so it also promotes the restaurant. That’s the deal they cut. Dave Young: Toll House. Yeah. Okay. Stephen Semple: Nestle changes how their bar is made, making it easier to cut up, and they rebrand and sales drop. Dave Young: Sales dropped? Stephen Semple: Yeah. Because what they find is the texture’s all wrong, people can’t break it along the lines of the bar and all this other stuff. So they have this crazy idea: why not just sell the broken pieces? Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: And they start off calling them Nestle Toll House Morsels. Dave Young: Yeah, brilliant. Stephen Semple: The other thing he does is he gets it out of the candy aisle and puts it in the baking aisle. Because that was the other problem is it was sitting in the candy aisle. Dave Young: It’s where it belongs. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Put it in the baking aisle. Sales soar. Now remember the story of Ruth chipping off the chocolate? So why’d they call them morsels? People, because they knew the story, were calling them chips. Dave Young: Chips. Chocolate chips. Stephen Semple: Right. Now global sales in Nestle in 1945 rise 125% to 225 million, which would be about four billion today. During the war, they advertise, “Bake for your soldiers overseas,” and offer this as a recipe. Now, following World War II, we come into the convenience age and we have the new Nestle CEO, Carl Abegg, who does pre-made cookie doughs, and he launches those in 1955. And here’s the thing. When we talked about this as being the birth of the chocolate chip cookie, up until 1950, the bestselling cookie was Oreo. Dave Young: Really? Okay. Stephen Semple: Yeah. 1955, Oreo is no longer the favorite cookie that has been for decades, is now the chocolate chip cookie. Dave Young: In a package like Chips Ahoy or something? Stephen Semple: Yeah. Well, just like chocolate chip… Yeah, just basically that ends up becoming the category. Dave Young: But you couldn’t make Oreos. Stephen Semple: Well, that’s true. That’s true. But the point is, it starts to shift. Now Nabisco starts to also want to enter the race with something new. Lee Bickmore wants to get into this game, but now not with a prepackaged chocolate chip cookie. The problem was, how do you make something shelf-stable, can’t use eggs and butter, they are hard and not chewy but they still taste good, they’re crispy rather than chewy? He does this test market with children and parents, and they also remove the nuts from the original recipe. So now what they’ve got is they’ve got this hard, crispy cookie with no nuts in it, and they decide to package that up. Well, what’s a great fun name to put on it? Chips Ahoy. Dave Young: Chips Ahoy. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Right? Fun way to emphasize a large number of chocolate chips. Dave Young: And it’s all chips. Yeah. Stephen Semple: Yeah. They advertise on kids’ shows and magazines. They have a cookie man as the character, and they advertise there’s 16 chips in it. Dave Young: So kids are breaking them apart, counting them. Stephen Semple: Yeah. That was Nabisco entering the race, and then basically Nestle does these attack ads saying the real Toll House cookie needs to be baked at home, and so this whole chocolate chip cookie war happens. But the part I wanted to talk about on this was what I thought was really interesting was the evolution of this idea of a chocolate chip. Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell Ad] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off, and trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: What I thought was really interesting was the evolution of this idea of a chocolate chip. It came from this person having this restaurant, making the desserts, hit this point where, holy smokes, we’ve got to come up with something that is small-priced, that we can easily make, that we can create some cash, and she just decides, “Well, I’m just going to hack some stuff off of this bar of chocolate.” Advertises the recipe, it gets no one. And the smart part, we’ve got to give Nestle… It would be one thing to say this is all a creation of Ruth Wakefield, we have to give Nestle some credit here. They noticed a sales increase in a particular market where they were doing nothing different and they went, “Hmm, we should investigate this.” They discovered this idea about the recipe and they approached her. And then, when they did the sales of it and it didn’t work, they recognized, “Maybe we need to do something different.” Look, it’d be easy for a lot of businesses to go, “Well, that’s just a Massachusetts thing,” and dismiss it rather than going, “Okay, let’s actually do it in chips and let’s actually get it into the baking aisle rather than the candy aisle.” So to me, there’s two stories here. There’s Ruth Whitmore’s story in terms of the crating of this chocolate chip and the recipe, but there’s also the story of Nestle who did not give up on the idea and figured a few things out that really brought it into the mainstream. Dave Young: Yeah. If you can’t sell your product on its own, figure out what people are using it for and help with that, help people make more of that. Stephen Semple: Yes. Edouard Muller deserves some of the credit on this as well, as well as Ruth. Dave Young: Yeah. I think it’s interesting that Nestle always called them, they still call them morsels. Stephen Semple: They do. Dave Young: I had a dog once that ate a bag of chocolate chips, and that’s what we always called them was chocolate chips. Stephen Semple: Correct. Dave Young: Nobody in the home ever calls them morsels. Stephen Semple: And I think on the packaging, aren’t they chocolate chip morsels or something? Dave Young: No, they’re morsels. Stephen Semple: Oh, they still are morsels. Dave Young: I still looked it up, they’re Nestle Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels. We could dive into the nuance of that, but it’s almost like Kleenex, right? Maybe they didn’t want chocolate chip. Maybe they wanted chocolate chip to just remain as the generic- Stephen Semple: Maybe. Dave Young: … name for these little pieces of chocolate, and the morsels, they wanted to keep that identity. I don’t know. I don’t know, but it’s interesting. I just quickly Googled, and Nestle has the recipe on and the story on their website and they- Stephen Semple: They do. Dave Young: … show the ingredients as a bag of chocolate chip morsels. Stephen Semple: They still honor that story, yeah. Dave Young: Yeah, it’s amazing. By the way, the dog turned out okay. Stephen Semple: That’s good. Dave Young: It was a little dachshund. By the way, you’re not supposed to give chocolate to dogs. My kids were eating a bowl of chocolate chips and left it on the floor. Stephen Semple: Oh, dear. Dave Young: This poor little dachshund ate them and it wasn’t pretty for a while. Stephen Semple: What was the dachshund’s name, Dave? Can you remember? Dave Young: Oh, gosh, that was… Stephen Semple: Chip? Dave Young: No, I think it was Dixie maybe. We should’ve called her Chip. It happened on a cold night during a blizzard and we ended up having to get the veterinarian out of his house. He went down and met us and gave her a sedative because she was just shaking like a leaf on a tree. Stephen Semple: Yeah? Wow. Dave Young: I won’t tell you why we had to put her in the bathtub. Stephen Semple: No, we don’t need that. Dave Young: The chocolate was- Stephen Semple: We don’t need that part of the story. Dave Young: … rocketing out the other end of the dog. Where were we? Chocolate chip cookie. Stephen Semple: What’s interesting here is it would be easy to sit there and say Ruth didn’t get a great deal on this because it led to this massive product for Nestle at the same time. It’s one of those ones that’s hard to say because what I wasn’t able to find out is what the consulting agreement looked like in terms of how much was she being paid on that, because who knows, that might’ve been a lot of money. Again, it’s one of those ones, I thought it was interesting because so many companies today… One of the biggest challenges that I have with finding these stories is so many companies today have given up telling the origin story, like how did this idea come to be? One of the things that’s interesting is, now it might be a legal obligation, but one of the things that’s interesting is Nestle’s still telling the story of the origin of this idea of the morsels, that it came from this person and this place. I actually think they need to lean into it more, but companies are not telling, they’re not telling these early stories. They’re very, very hard to find. What we know is people connect with those stories. They’re interesting, right? “Oh, this thing happened.” And don’t tell it in a phony way, tell it in an authentic way. So I commend Nestle for still telling that story and honoring that story and having that original recipe, and I think war companies need to be telling that story, and it can be the origin of a business, can also be the origin of a product. Dave Young: Well, here’s what we know about story. In terms of memory in humans, a well-told story becomes autobiographical vicarious memory. So when I hear the story of the Toll House cookie recipe and the struggles of owning a restaurant on a busy road and the Depression, and then you finally invent this cookie that people end up loving, the little part of me experiences that story. Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: Right? Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: And when I bite into one of those cookies, if I might remember that story and go, “Oh, this is the cookie that those people along that toll road were eating back in 1935.” Businesses think that all I need to do is tell you how the cookie tastes and what it’s made of, and you’ll be great with that, but no. The story seals it in my memory. It literally becomes part of my memory because it was told to me in story form. And that’s a powerful, powerful lesson. Even if you’re a plumber or veterinarian, we want to know your origin story. If you’re a veterinarian, there’s no way you became a veterinarian because you hated pets. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Right? You fell in love with the idea of helping animals at some point in your life. I want to know that story, right? Stephen Semple: Look, I’m going to put a plug in right now. Go over to usingstoriestosell.com, sign up for a 90-minute starter session, and we’ll help you tell that story. We’ll help you figure it out. You’ll walk out at that 90 minutes for the first draft of what we call your origin story. There’s a little bit of homework and whatnot you have to do, but go over to Using Stories to Sell and we’ll help with that story. Again, one of the things I found is interesting is Nestle still telling that story, and so many companies have moved on from telling it. Look, I think they could tell it better. I think they could tell it with more emotion. I commend them for doing it. Look, Budweiser does that in an interesting way every time you see the Budweiser wagon with the draft horses pulling- Dave Young: Yeah, with the Clydesdales. Stephen Semple: With the Clydesdales. That’s a way of saying,” “Hey, we’ve been around as a company for a long, long time,” in this really simple manner of using that. It’s brilliant, and people connect with it. Dave Young: Yeah. We love it. We love story. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: It’s basically our operating system. Stephen Semple: It really is. It really is. Dave Young: It is. Well, thank you for the story of Toll House. Stephen Semple: All right. Awesome. Thanks, David. Dave Young: I feel like I don’t need a cookie because I’ve been watching my calorie intake. It’s working. Stephen Semple: There you go. Dave Young: I’m not going to have a cookie, but I’m going to think about a cookie. Stephen Semple: Well, and Dave, you’re doing really well. Dave shared at the beginning of this about how you’re fitting into some clothes that you’ve… Look, anytime we fit into some old clothes that we haven’t worn in a long time, that’s a good damn day. Dave Young: I agree. This is a pullover that I got at Whistler up in Canada almost 20 years ago. 2006 is when I was up there. It looks brand new. I could sell it as vintage. Probably should. Stephen Semple: There you go. You’re looking good, Dave. Dave Young: Thanks, Stephen. Thank you for another exciting episode of The Empire Builders. We’ll talk to you next time.

When firefighters discovered the body of forty-year-old Terry King inside the charred remains of his Cantonment, Florida home in November 2001, they assumed the man had been asleep when the fire broke out and died as a result. Upon further inspection, investigators found that King hadn't died as a result of the fire, but from severe blunt force trauma to his head. And even more alarming than that was the fact that King's two boys, thirteen-year-old Derek and twelve-year-old Alex, were missing.Having occurred immediately in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Terry King's murder could have easily been one of many tragedies lost in the fog of national trauma and grief; however, when King's killers were arrested and identified in the days that followed, the story was so shocking, and the motive so heartbreaking, that it managed to break through the wall-to-wall coverage of the attacks. ReferencesAssociated Press. 2002.

W/C 22nd December 2025I am going to split Christmas 2025 into three categories, the more, the less and the same.In the more bucket we have family cultural experiences, with the triple whammy of the cinema, the theatre and the panto in a five day period bookending the big day. I would also throw into the more pot, jigsaw-time, food-prep and possibly running.The consistent category is food and drink, no question. The annual appearance of the cheese board has been most welcome, and there has been very little in the way of intake discipline since Christmas Eve. Slightly more red than white, equal parts savoury to sweet.And the less has been screen time, scheduled group TV moments and snoozing. I don't think I have had one nap this time around.Oh and matching Christmas Pyjamas, at no point has this even been considered, as an insta-moment or as going-out attire.Stay safe.The Boy in the Bubble - Paul SimonTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon. Thanks for getting this far.

Episode 188: Aaron Brownstein & Simon Ganz Interview In this After Show Andrew talks with writing partners Aaron Brownstein and Simon Ganz about their long road to Guy Text. They share what they learned working under Jason Katims (Friday Night Lights, Parenthood, About a Boy) and Victor Fresco (Santa Clarita Diet), including lessons about character, tone, and why even a waiter with two lines should feel like a real person. Aaron and Simon dig into the personal inspiration behind Guy Text, a modern sitcom about male friendship built around a constantly active group text thread. They discuss the realities of modern masculinity, parenting, ambition, and the challenge of making something deeply personal in an industry that often wants a trend instead. Aaron also recounts his start as a child actor: He appeared in a commercial featuring Christopher Reeve—a moment that gave him an early, unforgettable brush with the industry that would later become his career.

Introduction: Psalm 115:8 – Those who make them become like them; so do all who trust in them. Ephesians 5:1 – Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. Hebrews 10:28 - Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. John 8:1-11 I Want to Be Like God (John 1:14–18) Grace without TRUTH = Not like Jesus. Truth without GRACE = Not like Jesus. GRACE and TRUTH = Like Jesus. Sermon Notes (PDF): BLANKHint: Highlight blanks above for answers! Small Group DiscussionRead John 1:14-18What was your big take-away from this passage / message?Define “glory” (John 1:14). What did John actually see when he says “we have seen His glory”?Do you tend to lean more towards “grace” or “truth” when dealing with someone's sin? Why? What do you need to do to be “full of grace and truth” like Jesus?BreakoutPray for one another. AUDIO TRANSCRIPT Turn in your Bibles to John chapter 1.While you're turning there,just going to ask,we pause for a second and I would ask that you wouldplease pray for me to be faithful to communicate God's word.I will pray for you to have a heart open to receivewhat it is God is telling us here tonight in this passage.All right? Let's pray.Father, we thank you for your word.It's easy tonight to get so caught up in,I guess the decorations and the sentimentality and all of that.But God, this is really no different to what we normally do.We come to worship you, come to know you,come to hear from your word.I just ask Father that your spirit be at work with your word today.In a profound way,make us into the people that you've called us to be.We pray in Jesus' name.And all of God's people said,"Amen, you become like that which you worship."It's a true statement."You become like that which you worship."You know, it's really obvious in children.I mean, just looking back at my life,if you would have found me in the late 70s, early 80s,I would have been walking around with torn pantsand a torn shirt because I was the Incredible Hulk.Remember that show, "Lufa Rigno"?That was me."Aah!"Oh, then you go forward just a couple of yearsand I would have been running around the housewith a sword fighting Skeletor.By the power of Grayskull, I was he-man.Right?And then you go forward a few more years,early 90s, grunge.Ironically, I once again had ripped pants onand the flannel shirt, the mop hair.And you can laugh and make fun of me all you want,but I know some of you got hammered pants in your closet.Some of you ladies back then had a Debbie Gibson haircutbecause you become like that which you worship.It wasn't even my idea, actually.The Bible says this.Psalm 115 verse 8 says, "Regarding idols,it says those who make them become like them.So to all who trust in them,you become like that which you worship."And then we come to church.We come to church and the truth is still the samebecause Ephesians 5:1 says, "Therefore,we imitators of God as beloved children."Like, well, how do we imitate God?By worshiping Him.That's how.It starts with worshiping Him.You're like, "Okay, all right, but how in the world,even worshiping Him, how can I imitate God?"And you know, I think that's one of the most awesome thingsabout the incarnation of Jesus Christ.What we're celebrating at Christmas, God became a man.And I think that's one of the most awesome things.One of the most glorious things is that we get to seewhat God's holiness and love looks like in a humanon this planet interacting with other humans.It's not conceptual. We've seen it.Yeah, the Christmas story. It's a familiar story, right?You know, you've got the manger and the shepherds and the light.But that's Matthew and Luke's version.Matthew and Luke in your Bible give the historical version.But we're looking at John this year.And John gives the theological version.That God became something He's never been without ceasing to bewhat He's always been.It's the miracle of Christmas.God entered the world through childbirth,becoming a real human being while remaining God.So, what do you want for Christmas?When we started this series, we said, "I want to know God."The only way you can know God is through Jesus.Jesus is the revelation of God.He is the living Word of God, right?Then on Sunday, Pastor Taylor gave a message,"I want to belong to God."The only way you belong to God also is through Jesus Christ.It's through Jesus, through His death and His resurrection,that our sins can be forgiven,that we can have the promise of eternal life,that we can be adopted children of God.Tonight, I want to be like God.What do you want for Christmas?Really, all I want is to be like God.This section we're looking at talks about the glory of Jesus Christ.Those who received Him get to know how glorious our God is.And when we worship Him, we do become like Him.Look at verse 14 in John chapter 1.It says, "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us,and we have seen His glory,glory as of the only Son from the Father,full of grace and truth."Mark that.Grace and truth.Full of grace and truth.Verse 15."John bore witness about Him and cried out,'This was He of whom I said,'He who comes after Me ranks before Me,because He was before Me.'"And from His fullness,we have all received grace upon grace.I love that last phrase, "Grace upon grace."It's just waves and waves and waves of grace.That's Jesus.He's not stingy with His grace.And He tells us in verse 16 thatwe've received from His fullness.We've received from the fullness of grace.You know what that means?We're always in,if you belong to Jesus,you're always in the waves and waves of His grace.Meaning, I can't say,"Well, I came to Christ in 1995.Boy, you should have seen me back then.I really needed His grace back then.I need His grace just as much todayas I did then.And if I live tomorrow,I'm going to need His grace just as much tomorrowas I do today and as I did then."But that's the good news.He says, "Grace upon grace upon grace,that if you're in Christ,you're always in it."He just keeps on giving it to us."On your best day, you're in His grace.On your worst day, you're in His grace."Look at verse 17.He says, "For the law was given through Moses.Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ."There it is again.Grace and truth.Grace and truth.The law though, he mentions the law.The law came through Moses.There was no grace in the law.Like you read your Old Testaments.There's only judgment.You break the law.You're guilty.In fact, the New Testament talks about thatin Hebrews chapter 10.Anyone who has set aside the law of Mosesdies without mercy in the evidenceof two or three witnesses.There's no mercy.Just guilt.That's what the law does.The law kills.The law only shows you that you are a sinner.Yet, through Jesus comes...Did you see it again?Grace and truth.What's showing us is that there's a stark contrastto the law with what came in Jesus Christ.Verse 18 kind of sums up the whole passage.It really sums up everythingthat we're celebrating at Christmas.Here it is.No one has ever seen God.The only God who is at the Father's side,He has made Him known.God the Son has made God known.One is saying, "We saw everything that is God.We saw that in Jesus Christ."So what's He like?What has God shown usof His character in Jesus Christ?I mean, what's He like?Well, you notice in this passage,He said it in verse 14,and He said it in verse 17.If you were to say,"Describe God in two words."He does.He says, "Here's what God is like."Two words.Grace and truth.Those two words exemplifiedwho Jesus Christ is,who is the perfect expressionof who God is.Grace and truth.I want to talk about grace and truthfor a few minutes.What is grace?Well, grace is compassion.It's mercy.Grace is kindness and patience.Grace is forgiveness.Read your Bibles.Jesus always manifestsjust a tender, loving grace.So He's full of grace,but it also says He's full of truth.Truth.Jesus always spoke the truth.Read your Bibles.Jesus always upheld the authorityof God's Word.Jesus never told half truths.Jesus never minimized the truth.Jesus never downplayed Scripture,contradicted the Old Testament.Jesus never sugar-coated it.He never watered it down.And He never, not once, ever did Heapologize for what the Bible says.I want to be like God.And when we look at this character of Jesus,it is astounding, full of grace and truth,simultaneously, full.And we could have this temptationto just kind of step backand admire that like, "Wow, isn't that awesome?Isn't that an awesome representation of God?"But you know, and we should do that, yes.But the Bible doesn't tell usthat we should just admire the character of Jesus.The Bible tells us that Jesus' characterisn't something just to impress us.The Bible says that we should imitate His character.I mean, so many times, right,we are called to imitate Jesus.Matthew 11, Jesus says, "Learn from Me."John 13, He was washing the disciples' grimy feet.And Jesus said, "I'm doing this to show you an examplethat you should do the same."Philippians 2, Paul says, "Have this mind,which is yours in Christ Jesus."1 Peter 2, 21 that Pastor Rich just read,says that Jesus is an example,and we should follow in His steps.And then we turn to John 1 here,and it says, verse 16, "From His fullnesswe have all receivedthat we don't worship a distant God.We worship a God according to thiswho is to be received."You see, I can stand up here,and I can talk for hours about Grace and Truth.Don't worry, I know it's Christmas, I'm not going to.But I could.But unless you've received Jesus Christ,this isn't going to matter.Because the Bible tells us that when we truly receive Him,God puts His Spirit in usso that we are able to imitate His character.So that we can truly be His image-bearers.That Jesus was full of Grace and Truth,perfectly full of both 100% Grace and 100% Truth.And this is the profound thing.Jesus was never one or the other.Never lopsided, never compromising one over the other,never wanted the expense of another.John makes it clear, he says,"This is what God is like, Jesus Christ."And if there are two words that sum upthe kind of God we worship, it's Grace and Truth.And we have to get that,because if we're to worship Godand therefore imitate God,if we're to represent God to the world,we have to imitate Grace and Truthas displayed by Jesus.So you know what our problem is.Our problem is we are not perfectly full of Grace and Truth.And the reality is each of us have a tendency to leanmore towards one than the other.Some of you are more Grace people.And some of you are more Truth people.And I just want to show you tonight thatyou can't be content to lean in one direction or the other,because that's not like Jesus at all.Like, well, can you give me an example?Yeah, there is an example I want to show you.Look at John 8.He just turned over in your Bibles a few pages.I want you to see.We're just going to read this and reference this.But if there's one story from Jesus' lifethat demonstrates this full of Grace and full of Truthat the same time, character,if there's one story that would show that, it's this one.John 8 says,"They want each to his own house,but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.Early in the morning, he came again to the temple.All the people came to him and he sat down and taught them,the scribes and the Pharisees brought a womanwho had been caught in adultery.And placing her in the midst, they said to him,'Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.'Now, in the law, Moses commanded usto stone such women.What do you say?'This they said to test himthat they might have some charge to bring against him.Jesus bent down and wrote with His finger on the ground.And as they continued to ask Him, He stood up and said to them,'Let him who is without sin among yoube the first to throw a stone at her.'And once more He bent down and wrote on the ground.But when they heard it, they went away one by one,beginning with the older ones,and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before Him.Jesus stood up and said to her,'Woman, where are they?Has no one condemned you?'She said, 'No, Lord.'And Jesus said,Look at this.Jesus said, 'Neither do I condemn you.''Go, and from now on sin no more.'So if you have an outline,and you're taking notes which we always encourage you to do,I want you to jot a couple of things down here.I want to be like God.Number one, grace without truth is not like Jesus.Grace without truth?That's not like Jesus.Grace without truth is weak enabling.Never holding people accountable.You ignore the transformation power of the Holy Spirit.You disregard the truth that God says in His Wordthat we are called to righteousness and holy living.People who lean more towards gracecare more about being liked than they care about what's right and wrong.But I want you to see in this account in John 8,Jesus wasn't just grace.He didn't say to the woman,'I affirm you.You do you, ma'am.'And look, don't worry about what the Bible says.I mean, they're quoting the Law of Moses.That was a long time ago.That's not really for us.'I affirm you, ma'am.'He didn't say that.He wasn't just grace.You see, Jesus brought truth into it.Jesus says, 'Go, and from now on sin no more.'What Jesus said was,'Adultry dishonors God.'Hey, stop living like that.Okay?Stop living like that.And church, when we are content to overlook sin,when we're content to avoid the hard conversations,when we're ready to affirm people in their sin,that's not like Jesus.And now the truth people are like,'Yeah, give it to Him.Give it to the grace people.Hang on, truth people,because truth without grace is not like Jesus either.'Now look, I know the truth people.We've been around some truth people, haven't we, Aaron?Right now the truth people are like,'Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.'How in the world could it be?Like, I thought Harvest Bible Chapter,I thought Bible was your middle name.Like truth is all that matters, right?Truth.It's truth that matters.How in the world could you have truth without grace?We realize in John 1.17 he told us.He told us again, John 1.17,'For the law was given through Moses.'Do you know what that is?Do you know what the law is?It's truth without grace.So let me ask you, was the law truth?This is a shouted out verbal reply question.Was the law truth?Yes, it was.It is.No, it was, it is.The law is truth.100% every letter of God's law in the Old Testament is truth.But there was no grace in the law.We referenced this earlier.This is how the law works.Oh, you broke the law.You're guilty.Now it's time for your punishment.Next, that's how the law worked.And truth without grace leads to cold, detached transactions with other people.That's truth without grace.You messed up.You're done.You're done.It leads to harsh judgment.Truth without grace leaves no room for mistakes.There's no second chances.There's no invitation to repent.There's no encouragement to turn it around.Listen, people who lean more towards truth than grace usually care more about their convictionsthan they care about actual people.And that is a problem.But you see in this John 8 account with the woman caught in adultery, do you notice Jesuswasn't just truth with her?Do you notice that?I mean Jesus didn't say to the woman, they bring the woman before Him, Jesus didn't say,"Hey lady, you know what the law says.You're guilty.There's nothing to discuss."He showed her grace when He says, "Neither do I condemn you."No good lived differently.That's grace.In church when we condemn people, when we are one striking you out, when we refuse toallow people the opportunity to change, that's not like Jesus.So we imperfect people tend to fall on one side or the other.So now that you've heard, I just want to ask you just for fun, which way do you lean?Show of hands.Many of you would say that you're more grace people.Put your hands up if you're more of a grace person.All right?Now raise your hand if you're more of a truth person.I have a note written from the first service.When I asked you the truth people were, they were a lot more bold to put their hands upthan the grace people.I think there's something to that.That'll be a sermon for Easter.Anyways, grace people, look, I love you, but you typically care more about the relationshipthan any sin issue.And that's not good.And truth people, you care more about upholding God's Word than loving someone in the relationship.And that's not complete either.And you know, I've been thinking about this a lot the last couple of weeks.While you do what you do at work, this is what I do at work, I was thinking so much,like what is it that causes people to lean one way or the other?And I was thinking about that, like whether you sit down with a grace person or you sitdown with a truth person, either way.But I was just thinking, like, if you set them down and said, what makes you lean inthe direction that you lean, what would they say?And then it hit me.Do you know what it is?And I'm sure of this.They think they're being loving.I mean, think about it.You sit down with the grace person.Why do you lean more towards grace?Because it's love.I'm loving.That's why my heart is so full of love.I'm so full of love.That's why, and you can't just discard the relationship just because of something theBible says, I'm just so full of love deep in my heart of heart of hearts.I'm so full of love.That's why I'm more of a grace person.But then, you know, if you sat down with the truth person and said, why do you lean moretowards the truth?Do you know what they'd say?It's love.Because what is more loving than giving people the word of our Lord?I mean, come on, Pastor Jeff, you're a pastor.You know this.The most loving thing you can do is tell somebody the truth, right?So that's what I do.I don't mince words.I tell them the truth.That's how I show love.That's how I love them.That's nothing more loving than that.I'm more true because that's the loving thing to do.There's a huge mistake in that line of thinking, isn't there?It's a mistake to think that grace is love because it's not.And it's a mistake to think that truth is love because it's not.You know what is love?God is love.And as a man, Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, showed true love by being full of grace andtruth both.Well, that's number three.What do you want for Christmas?I want to be like God.Well, grace and truth is like Jesus.And see, that's the point of the story of the woman caught in adultery.Jesus showed her grace and truth at the same time.Grace, he forgave her.He says, "Neither do I condemn you."That's grace.Truth at the same time.Jesus said, "Your lifestyle is wrong.Go and sin no more."Jesus gave both.He says, "I forgive you.Now let's do better."In church, we need to learn this.We need to be people who represent Jesus accurately, full of grace and truth.Not a group of people that enable in the name of love, not a group of people who condemnin the name of upholding the Word.We need to be a people who demonstrate acceptance and accountability at the same time.Whereas John Piper put it, people who say, "I love you, but this is wrong."Parents, you're going to get that with your kids.Some of you parents need to sit down with your kids and say, "Look, I love you.I accept you, and nothing will ever change that.But this habit you have is wrong, and you need to stop this, and I'm going to help you stopthis because I love you."Do you see that?That's grace and truth both.Some of you have family or friends that are stuck in a sinful lifestyle.Maybe it's an addiction.Maybe they're in an unbiblical relationship regarding marriage and sexuality.You need to sit down and say, "Look, I care about you, but what you're doing is dishonoringthe Lord.Come on, let's get on a better path here.Let's get on track."For some of you, maybe it's even in church.Maybe it's in your small group.Maybe flagrantly in sin, and you're like, "I don't know what to do here.I don't know how to handle them.Here's how you handle them."You pull them aside, and you sit down with them, and you say, "Look, what you're doingis wrong, but I'm going to do everything that I can to help you get on track because I careabout you so much."You see, it's grace that refuses to beat people down, but it's truth that refuses to overlooksin.But what do you want for Christmas?I want to imitate God.The only way to imitate God, to demonstrate a love for God's Word and a love for God'speople is being like Jesus.And according to the Bible, it's full of grace and truth.Our worship team would make their way back up, and our candlelighters would come forward.We're going to close our service by singing to candlelight.Why on Christmas Eve do we sing by candlelight?Because it's pretty, right?It's so pretty.And it's a tradition, but this year, there's another reason that we're doing this.This year, thank you, Ashley, this year, it's also an illustration.In anticipation of this service, you know, I was looking at the order of service andthinking about this moment actually right now.And I was thinking about this flame.I thought, you know what is that flame?But two things perfectly.The flame is light and heat.Right?You can see the light.You'll just have to trust me on the heat.You can try it out if you like, but it's hot.But you see that flame?It's not one or the other.It's light and heat.It can't be one or the other.If you're going to have the flame, you're going to have light and heat both.You could say it is full of both aspects, light and heat.And as we sing, I just want you to look down at that flame and recognize how perfectlyfull it is of both light and heat.Then as you sing, I want you to think about grace and truth.It's like the flame imitating Jesus.You are to be full of both at the same time.We want to thank you for coming out and worshiping our Lord.And it is my prayer that your worship is genuine because then your imitation of Him will alsobe genuine.

Aladdin and the Magic Lamp by Judith Dean 单词提示1.cellar 地窖原文Chapter 1: Help from a Rich ManMany years ago, in a city in Arabia, there was a boy called Aladdin.He lived with his mother in a little house near the market, and they were very poor.Aladdin'smother worked all day and sometimes half the night, but Aladdin never helped her.He was a lazy boy and he did not like to work.He only wanted to play all the time.Every morning, he ran through the streets to the market.There he talked and laughed and played with his friends all day.Then in the evening, he went home for his dinner.And every night, his mother said to him, “oh, Aladdin, Aladdin, you are a lazy boy,a good for nothing. When are you going to do some work, my son?”But Aladdin never listen to his mother.One day in the market, there was an old man in a long black coat.Aladdin did not see him, but the old man watched Aladdin very carefully.After some minutes, he went up to an orange cellar and asked that boy in the green coat,“Who is he?”“Aladdin,son of Mustafa, was the answer.”The old man moved away.“Yes.”,he said quietly, “Yes, that is the boy, the right name and the right father. “Then he called out to Aladdin, “Boy, come here for a minute. Is your name Aladdin? Aladdin Son of Mustafa.”Aladdin left his friends and came to the old man.“Yes.”,he said, “I am Aladdin, son of Mustafa, but my father is dead. He died five years ago.”“Dead?”,said the old man, “no, no.”He put his face in his hands and began to cry.“Why are you crying?”, asked Aladdin, “Did you know my father?”The old man looked up.“Mustafa was my brother.”, he said, “I wanted to see him again, and now you tell me he is dead? Oh, this is not a happy day for me.”Then he put his hand on Aladdin's arm.“But here is my brother's son, and I can see Mustafa in your face. My boy Aladdin, I am your uncle Abenaza.”“My uncle?”, said Aladdin. He was very surprised.“Did my father have a brother? I didn't know that.”“I went away before you were born, my boy.”, said the old man. “Look.”, he took 10 pieces of gold out of his bag and put them into Aladdin's hands, “Go home to your mother and give this money to her. Tell her about me and say this. Her husband's brother wants to meet her and he is going to visit her tomorrow.”Ten pieces of gold is a lot of money, and Aladdin was very happy.He ran home quickly and gave the gold to his mother.At first, she was afraid.“Where did you get this, Aladdin? Did you find it? It isn't our money, you must give it back.”“But it is our money, mother.”, said Aladdin, “My uncle, my father's brother, gave the money to us. Uncle Abenaza is coming to visit us tomorrow.”“Who?You don't have an uncle Abenaza.”“But he knows my name and my father's name.”, Aladdin said, “And he gave ten pieces of gold to me. He's very nice, you must make a good dinner for him.”The next day, Abenaza arrived at Aladdin's house.“My sister.”, he said and smiled, “My dead brother's wife. I am happy to find you and Aladdin.”“Sit down, Abenaza. We're happy to see you in our poor home.”, Aladdin's mother said.She put meat, rice and fruit on the table, “But I don't understand why did my husband never speak about you?”“I'm sorry, my sister, when we were young, my brother and I were not friends for many years. Then I went away to a far country. I am an old man now and wanted to see my brother again and take his hand, but he is dead and I cannot speak to him or say goodbye to him now.”Abenaza had tears in his eyes and Aladdin's mother began to cry too.“But I am home again now.”, the old man said, “And I can help my brother's wife and his son because I am a rich man.”He looked at Aladdin. “Aladdin, my boy, what work do you do?”Aladdin did not answer and his face was red.“Oh,don't ask Aladdin questions about work.”, his mother said, “He never works, he plays with his friends all day and only comes home when he is hungry.”“Well,my boy, tomorrow we must get a new coat for you, then we can talk about work.Would you like to have a shop in the market perhaps?”Aladdin smiled.“A shop?”, he thought, “And me, a rich market seller, why not?”翻译第1章：富人的帮助许多年前，在阿拉伯的一个城市里，有一个叫阿拉丁的男孩。他和妈妈住在市场附近的一所小房子里，他们很穷。阿拉丁的母亲工作了一整天，有时甚至半个晚上，但阿拉丁从未帮助过她。他是个懒惰的男孩，不喜欢工作。他只想一直玩。每天早上，他都会穿过街道去市场。在那里，他整天和朋友们谈笑风生。晚上，他回家吃晚饭。每天晚上，他的妈妈都会对他说：“哦，阿拉丁，阿拉丁。你是个懒惰的孩子，一无是处。我的儿子，你什么时候要做点工作？”但阿拉丁从来不听妈妈的话。一天，在市场上，有一位穿着黑色长外套的老人。阿拉丁没有看见他，但老人非常仔细地看着阿拉丁。几分钟后，他走到一个橙色的地窖前，问那个穿绿色外套的男孩：“他是谁？”“答案是穆斯塔法的儿子阿拉丁。”老人离开了。“是的。”他平静地说，“是的，就是那个男孩，名字对，父亲对。”然后他对阿拉丁喊道：“孩子，过来一下。你叫阿拉丁吗？穆斯塔法的儿子阿拉丁。”阿拉丁离开了他的朋友，来到老人身边。“是的。”他说，“我是阿拉丁，穆斯塔法的儿子，但我父亲已经死了。他五年前去世了。”“死了？”老人说，“不，不。”他双手掩面，开始哭泣。“你为什么哭？”阿拉丁问，“你认识我父亲吗？”老人抬起头来。“穆斯塔法是我的兄弟。”他说，“我想再见到他，现在你告诉我他死了？哦，这对我来说不是一个快乐的日子。”然后，他把手放在阿拉丁的胳膊上。“但这是我哥哥的儿子，我能从你的脸上看到穆斯塔法。我的孩子阿拉丁，我是你的叔叔阿贝纳扎。”“我叔叔？”阿拉丁说。他非常惊讶。“我爸爸有兄弟吗？我不知道。”“孩子，你还没出生，我就走了。”老人说。“看，”他从包里拿出十块金子，放在阿拉丁手里，“回家去找你妈妈，把这笔钱给她。告诉她我的事，说这些。她丈夫的哥哥想见她，他明天要去看她。”十块金子是一大笔钱，阿拉丁非常高兴。他飞快地跑回家，把金子给了妈妈。起初，她很害怕。“阿拉丁，你从哪里弄来的？你找到了吗？这不是我们的钱，你必须还给我。”“但这是我们的钱，妈妈。”阿拉丁说，“我叔叔，我父亲的兄弟，把钱给了我们。阿贝纳扎叔叔明天要来看我们。”“谁？你没有阿贝纳扎叔叔。”“但他知道我的名字和我父亲的名字。”阿拉丁说，“他还给了我十块金子。他很好，你一定要给他做顿丰盛的晚餐。”第二天，阿贝纳扎来到阿拉丁家。“我的妹妹。”他笑着说，“我死去的哥哥的妻子。我很高兴找到你和阿拉丁。”“请坐，阿贝纳扎。我们很高兴在我们贫穷的家里见到你。”阿拉丁的母亲说。她把肉、米饭和水果放在桌子上，“但我不明白为什么我丈夫从不谈论你？”“我很抱歉，我的妹妹，当我们年轻的时候，我和哥哥多年没有朋友。然后我去了一个遥远的国家。我现在是个老人了，想再见到我的哥哥，牵着他的手，但他已经死了，我现在不能和他说话或说再见。”阿贝纳扎眼里含着泪水，阿拉丁的母亲也开始哭泣。“但我现在又回家了。”老人说，“我可以帮助我哥哥的妻子和儿子，因为我是个有钱人。”他看着阿拉丁。“阿拉丁，我的孩子，你做什么工作？”阿拉丁没有回答，脸色通红。“哦，别问阿拉丁关于工作的问题。”他妈妈说，“他从不工作，整天和朋友玩，只有饿了才回家。”“好吧，我的孩子，明天我们必须给你买一件新外套，然后我们可以谈谈工作。你想在市场上开一家店吗？”阿拉丁笑了。“一家商店？”他想，“而我，一个富有的市场卖家，为什么不呢？”

Lindsay is joined by author Stephanie Cowell to discuss her book, “The Man in The Stone Cottage.” In 1846, Yorkshire, the Brontë sisters— Charlotte, Anne, and Emily— navigate precarious lives marked by heartbreak and struggle. Charlotte faces rejection from the man she loves, while their blind father and troubled brother add to their burdens. Despite their immense talent, no one will publish their poetry or novels. Amidst this turmoil, Emily encounters a charming shepherd during her solitary walks on the moors, yet he remains unseen by anyone else. After Emily's untimely death, Charlotte— now a successful author with Jane Eyre— stumbles upon hidden letters and a mysterious map. As she stands on the brink of her own marriage, Charlotte is determined to uncover the truth about her sister's secret relationship. The Man in the Stone Cottage is a poignant exploration of sisterly bonds and the complexities of perception, asking whether what feels real to one person can truly be real to another. STEPHANIE COWELL is the author of 7 novels, including Nicholas Cooke, The Physician of London, The Players: a novel of the young Shakespeare, Marrying Mozart, Claude & Camille: a novel of Monet, and The Boy in the Rain. Her work has been translated into several languages, optioned for film, and adapted into an opera. Cowell has been awarded an American Book Award. She has also been an opera singer, balladeer, and founder of the Strawberry Opera and an outdoor performance series in NYC. Fun facts include auditioning before Richard Rodgers, the Rodgers of Rodgers and Hammerstein fame, and performing in places like the famous Harvard Club and even mental institutions and prisons.
