Part 1
May 6, 2020, 9:02 a.m.
Something is coming.
War!
Oh, yes. Right and wrong,
the light and the darkness are at it again.
But we are not afraid.
No. No. No. No.
We know that the deliverance will come.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
A prophet!
This is written.
This is promised.
The Book of Revelation 19:11 says,
"And there before me was a white horse
whose rider is called Faithful and True."
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
"He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood,
and his name is the Word of God!"
Be...
quiet!
I...am the prophet.
I am the chosen one.
Daddy.
Jesse. Do you promise me?
- You promise? - I promise, Daddy.
*It was the time of the preacher*
*When the story began?*
*Of the choice of a lady?*
*And the love of a man*
*How he loved her so dearly?*
*He went out of his mind?*
*When she left him for someone?*
*She'd left behind?*
*He cried like a baby*
*He screamed like a panther in the middle of the night*
*And he saddled his pony*
*And went for a ride*
*It was the time of the preacher*
*In the year of '01*
*Now the preachin' is over*
*And the lesson's begun*
"This is it.
This is the best I can do."
But for Coach Tom Landry...
that wasn't good enough.
He looked down at that player
and he looked up, into one other's eyes,
and he frowned.
He said...
"Get off -- Get off your backside."
Stand up and run."
And that player looked at him, and he did.
And some of you might be askin' what the heck football has to do
with the Parable of the Five Foolish Bridesmaids.
Uh, St. Matthew reminds us
that salvation won't come to those...
to those...
St. Matthew reminds us that salvation won't come to those...
The answer is --
Uh, the ans-- the answer is bein' humble.
So think about that.
And whoever's messin' with the sign outside...
...you stop, please?
I just Abe Lincoln-ed that squirrel!
Pop to the back of the head!
Donnie!
What's the matter with you, shooting a gun at church?
I had to figure out a whole new TV schedule,
you know, for supper.
You know, 'cause I like to eat,
and, I mean, this is the time
that she gave me for dinner, right?
When I was growing up, 6:00 is dinnertime,
and she knows that.
She knows. So --
Why not just open your heart?
Be honest with her.
Tell your mom to call you back after you've eaten.
I mean, what does it matter to her
what kind of cheese I have on my sandwich?
- It's up to me what I like. - Yeah, I --
- I make the choices -- - I'm sorry to cut this short, Ted.
I need a word with him.
I like Swiss cheese.
Read my mind, kid.
Don't tell me you're here
to bitch about the air-conditionin'.
Broken-down piece of junk.
It's about my dad.
I don't like him.
Why don't you like him?
'Cause he's mean.
Not to me.
I mean...he is,
but you know, mostly...
He's mean to your mom.
So you want me to talk to someone?
Talkin' won't help.
Well, you're hangin' there like a shirt on a hook,
so you got somethin' in mind.
Words, kid. What do you want?
I want you to hurt him.
You know, it's a sin just to ask me that.
I know, but he sins, too.
He sins worse, and he's got it comin'.
- Well, in that case -- - Don't laugh.
People said before you came back here...
before you were a preacher...
you did things.
So, bring me a beer
and maybe I'll do some of those things to your daddy.
How hurt you want him?
How far do I go?
One punch?
Two?
Problem is, your daddy's a big fella.
Imagine a couple punches just gonna make him mad.
He's gonna fight back.
Then his buddies are gonna want to help out.
I'll need to defend myself.
Things will escalate. That's what these things do.
They escalate.
And violence... makes violence.
It makes nothing much at all.
Is that what you want, kid?
Doesn't mean I can't still, you know...
help out with your daddy.
Help how?
I don't know.
We'll figure somethin' out.
"A man's heart plans his way...
but the Lord directs his steps."
Right.
Pray for me, Preacher.
