2CHRONICLES 4-5:Yesterday we heard of the preparations for building the temple, and then the dimensions and the beginning of the construction starting in the 4th year of Solomon’s reign. PROVERBS 27a:Today’s first verse is very like the advice of James in the New Testament: Pro. 27:1 GNT Never boast about tomorrow. You don't know what will happen between now and then. MATTHEW 9:Yesterday we heard of several powerful healings and the miracle of calming the storm. One of the one-becomes-two instances is in the Gadarene demon possessed man, called Legion in the other Gospels. If Matthew was present, as I posited before, it would be before the story of his joining the disciples in this chapter. GNT Translation notes:Mat. 9:2 where some people brought to him a paralyzed man, lying on a bed. When Jesus saw how [they fully believed that he could heal the paralyzed man//much faith they had], he said to [him//the paralyzed man], “Courage, my son! Your sins are forgiven.”6 I will prove to you, then, that [I,] the Son of Man[, have//has] authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your bed, and go home!”14 Then the followers of John the Baptist came to Jesus, asking, “Why is it that we [often fast, and so do the Pharisees//and the Pharisees fast often,] but your disciples don't fast at all?”[My change was so that one doesn’t get the impression that John’s disciples and the Pharisees had prayer and fasting meetings together.]22 Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, “Courage, my daughter! Your [belief in Me//faith] has made you well.” At that very moment the woman became well.28 When Jesus had gone indoors, the two blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I can heal you?” “Yes, sir! [We do!]” they answered.

1 Samuel 5:9, in Jerome’s Latin Vulgate, features a strange half verse following the description of the Philistines of Gath being smitten with hemorrhoids: “And while they were carrying [the Ark of the Covenant] about, the hand of the Lord came upon every city with an exceeding great slaughter:  and he smote the men of every city, both small and great, and they had emerods in their secret parts. And the Gethites consulted together, and made themselves seats of skins.” Where could Jerome have found such a reading? Why do Protestant and Catholics celebrate Easter a week earlier than Orthodox and Coptic Christians? When is the earliest known celebration of Easter?  If I was going to pick one edition of the New Testament to read, which one would you recommend?  Maybe one with informative footnotes to set things in context. I'm wondering how connected Yahweh and Jesus are to their physical bodies. I'm wondering if the spirit of Jesus is henceforth permanently connected to his body. By what means does Jesus connect with humans on earth from that point on because his body is in heaven? Does Dr. Robert Eisenman think that Jesus Christ did not exist as a historical figure? Does Dr. Robert Eisenman think that New Testament is historically unreliable? What was the point of including the story of the magi visiting Jesus at his birth? If Matthew is the most Jewish gospel, what do a bunch of Persians have to do with the birth of the Messiah?

Sales expert, Matthew Pollard, joins me on episode 42 of Real Relationships. You may have heard of him or seen him around on the internet, he is known as ‘the rapid growth guy.’ Matthew is a speaker, growth coach, and author of The Introvert’s Edge. Matthew has nailed down a process to cultivate analytical thinking to create solutions to what customers need. He joins the show to expound on his theory that introverts actually have the advantage when it comes to selling. Are you curious to hear how this could be true? Listen to this episode to discover the secret of sales for introverts.   How does an introvert become a door to door salesman? Surprisingly enough Matthew began his career as a door to door salesman. Being an introvert, this was the last job he could ever want. But since this was the only company hiring at the time, he had to give it a go. It took knocking on 93 doors before he got his first sale. That is when he realized he had to learn how to sell. Matthew began scouring YouTube to find out how to sell. He figured if he could just develop a strategy that he could use he could actually become a salesman. Watching YouTube videos is a challenging way to learn, but he was able to create his own system over time. That is how he ended up becoming so good at selling that he became the sales trainer for the number one sales company in the southern hemisphere. Listen to this episode of Real Relationships to hear about Matthew’s system for sales and discover why being an introvert is actually a real advantage. How is being an introvert a secret advantage in sales? Introverts don’t come with a natural knack for talking to people which means that sales can be a real challenge. But being an introvert can spur you to take action to learn more. Introverts are great at learning systems, so once they learn this becomes their secret advantage. Introverts have one skill that extroverts have a hard time with - listening. Introverts are expert listeners since they aren’t always planning their next thing to say. Introverts truly listen to the response of a question. Once you understand that you have a natural advantage over extroverts, then you realize that it is easy to learn a system to help you. Learn sales for introverts and how to outperform extroverts and earn more money by listening to Matthew Pollard on this episode of Real Relationships. What does Matthew wish he could tell his younger self about sales? Most people focus on sales tactics and not the strategies behind selling. The sales conversation becomes easier if you have a strategy. Matthew has learned the importance of differentiating himself in a crowded market. The key to sales is discovering what separates you from everyone else in the industry. Once you can do that you can niche down. Matthew feels that speaking to everyone is as good as speaking to no one. If Matthew could talk to his younger self he would want to hear about real examples of sales successes. After so many years of using his sales strategy, he has hundreds of examples of people using his sales strategy to achieve success. Learn the story of how Matthew took a language education expert from making $50 an hour to selling a $27,000 6-week package on this episode of Real Relationships. How does he balance the important tasks with the urgent tasks? Matthew uses time-blocking to block out time to work on his business rather than in it. He understands that the only way to have real growth in his business is by dedicating time to marketing. Many people spend less than 45 minutes working on marketing for their business and then they are surprised when they find that they have no clientele. Few people realize how important it is to work on their business rather than work in their business. Matthew feels that it is as simple as dedicating 20% of your time on marketing. Listen to Matthew’s creative solution to blocking out time for marketing on this episode of Real Relationships.

Oh how I love a good irony. That being said, how ironic in terms of timing is it that in this PODCAST, on this our fourth anniversary together as a Safe Haven family, we come to Jesus’ statement here in John 15, in the Upper Room Discourse, when He said to His men (and to us!), “I am the vine, you are the branches”? The irony to which I refer lies in fact that this statement completes John’s portrait of Jesus.  You talk about Jesus in High Definition. How about seven layers of definition, skillfully painted on the canvas of John’s Gospel, that leaves us with no doubt as to the true character of Jesus as the God-man. Understand that from start to finish, John had but one goal in mind, one purpose to his writing, one theme, one image that he sought to paint in this his artful masterpiece of his master. One the he painted in such beautifully breathtaking detail. A portrait of Jesus to which John alerted us in the very first verse of his glorious gospel. Right out of the gate, John stated his theme, clearly and unambiguously when he wrote, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” If Matthew wrote to establish Jesus as the King, Mark painted the portrait of Jesus as a servant. If Luke left us no doubt that Jesus was fully human, John balanced books by showing us Jesus is God. That is how John began his gospel; listen now to how he concluded it: “In his disciples' presence Jesus performed many other miracles which are not written down in this book. But these have been written in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through your faith in him you may have life.” John’s theme? Jesus is God. Now, in order to demonstrate to his readers that Jesus is God, out of the abundance of miracles that Jesus performed, John handpicked the ones that he chose to record in his gospel. By doing so, he carefully crafted his narrative: Jesus is God. Now here’s the thing: In the same way, and for same reason, that John handpicked several of Jesus’ miracles, he also purposely selected several of Jesus’ sayings. Seven of Jesus’ many sayings, to be precise. A complete compliment of exactly seven. Each one of these seven prefaced with the two telling words, “I Am.” As you are about to hear, a singularly and startlingly specific phrase. “I Am.” The significance of which was not lost on John. Nor will it be lost upon you. Please remember that depending upon your web browser and connection speed, it may take up to 60 seconds for this podcast to begin to play. God bless you richly as you listen.

Matthew Pollard The Rapid Growth Guy Matthew Pollard came to Austin TX and the US via Melbourne, Australia where he had been wildly successful in outbound sales. So successful that he had built 5 multi-million dollar businesses before he was 30! He grew tired of running a staff of 50 plus and decided to focus on inbound sales.  His drive came from the building of the businesses and not the running of them. Matthew Pollard the Rapid Growth Guy, found his passion was to help others build rapid growth companies rather than build them for himself. Within the last 12 months Matthew has launched his website and achieved International Sales Blogger Hall of Fame status, launched his Twitter and is now the number 43 rated business coach to follow and his podcast Better Business Coach reached New and Noteworthy within 24 hours on three continents in audio and video format. Matthew is motivated by what he loves and not by money. Seeing others succeed through his rapid growth strategies is what gets him up in the morning. Matthew Pollard - Define What Success Means to You Matthew has his clients write down three measurable and time-based business goals and three personal goals with one being incredibly selfish because that is that one that is going to drive you. Then summarize your goals in 250 words including why it is important to you. This is where you will discover what is truly important and what you only thought was important. This is vital to your success according to Matthew Pollard the Rapid Growth Guy. Having your goals quick and easy to read is absolutely vital. - Matthew Pollard   Overcoming Obstacles - Matthew Pollard Matthew Pollard shares how he breaks his barrier for reading and writing. Matthew had a reading and writing speed of 6th grade when he graduated high school. To overcome his reading difficulties, he listens to 3 audio books and 30 podcasts per week. Matthew writes a huge amount of content and uses a text to voice technology to review it to overcome his inhibitors. If Matthew can overcome his reading and writing difficulties, he says anyone can overcome their own difficulties. Matthew lost his first job out of high school right before the 3 week Christmas Holiday. The only job he could find was a challenging commission only sales job. Matthew was highly introverted but his back was to a wall and he needed to make money. He knocked on 93 doors before making his first sale. When he realized he had to do it all over again the next day he had an epiphany that he was in charge of his own destiny. Over the next 6 weeks, Matthew Pollard, the Rapid Growth Guy used YouTube to learn every step to a sale. Matthew become the number one sales performer in the number one sales and marketing company in the southern hemisphere in that 6 weeks. Matthew says to stop making excuses because you are not gifted. Sales is not a gift, it's a learnable skill. Marketing is not a gift it is a learnable skill. Knowing what you want in life isn't something that you have been blessed with, it takes work. We all have skills that we are stronger in. We should not make excuses for our weaknesses, we should just go out and acquire them.

Here are the highlights of my conversation with Matthew Pollard The Rapid Growth Guy if you are in a hurry: Who is Matthew Pollard? (3:26 Mark)

Simon of Cyrene and the chiastic structure of Mark. What accounts for the hostility of members of different religions or even denominations of the same one? How likely do you think it is that there are still authentic yet archeologically undiscovered Biblical manuscripts? What differences would you expect from Canonical texts discovered from earlier periods than we currently have? If Matthew did not mean to present Jesus' birth as a miraculous virgin birth, how do you understand the angel's words to Joseph: "For that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit" (Mt. 1:20)? Should I tell what I know about biblical criticism in order to help prevent the kind of wreckage that religion is capable of causing? How would you explain to an evangelical Christian the scholarly quest for the historical Jesus? Were the saints that rose from the dead in Jerusalem during the crucifixion the result of the harrowing of hell? What if the Snake was originally the owner of the Garden of Eden and the one whom Adam & Eve disobeyed? Is the scarcity of the term "Christian" in the NT is a mark of the tests' very late date? More info on the origins of "knecht" and "knight." Was the Emperor Constantine definitively converted to Christianity or not? I've always heard that one enters heaven with a whole and complete body, whether it is physical or not, but doesn't Matthew 18:9 suggest that one can enter heaven with only one eye? We are willing to pull the plug on someone's life when that person is brain dead. Can't we use this same standard when judging an unborn child? If there was a Jesus, do you think he was crucified on a cross as opposed to a tree? At Caesarea Philippi, does Peter recognize the truth about Jesus or is he mistaken as usual? If the cherubs atop the Ark of the Covenant were depicted in sexual embrace, does this not imply Judaism was basically (or originally) a fertility cult? Is it reasonable to suspect that the author of Hebrews was a believer in Merkabah mysticism? Is it possible that the Essene community, expecting a Davidic Messiah to come after (the priestly Messiah), eventually created a mythical Jesus, perhaps rethinking the nature of the kingdom of God altogether?
