00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.780
 Good morning, everyone. Let me, for those of you who don't know me, my name is Sean. I'm one of

00:00:04.780 --> 00:00:10.300
 the pastors of Trinity Cambridge Church, and again, it's my joy and privilege to preach God's Word to

00:00:10.300 --> 00:00:14.660
 you this morning. We've been going through a series in the book of Exodus, and we've been

00:00:14.660 --> 00:00:18.179
 doing a short mini-series through the Ten Commandments, and so we're on the Seventh

00:00:18.179 --> 00:00:24.679
 Commandment today. So if you'd open your Bibles with me to Exodus chapter 20, verse 14. If you

00:00:24.679 --> 00:00:28.019
 don't have a Bible, if you raise your hand, we have some people who can bring a Bible along to

00:00:28.019 --> 00:00:36.240
 you that you can use while you're here. Exodus chapter 20. Let me pray for the reading and

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:49.579
 preaching of God's Word. Heavenly Father, show us this morning that your commands are not only right,

00:00:49.579 --> 00:01:04.060
 but that they are good, that they promote our flourishing, to captivate us this morning with

00:01:04.060 --> 00:01:13.859
 the beauty of Christ, our Bridegroom, so we might be faithful to Him, that we as a church might be a

00:01:13.859 --> 00:01:25.539
 bride that is holy, set apart for Him. Speak to us from your Word. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

00:01:26.420 --> 00:01:30.960
 If you would please stand, if you're able, for the reading of God's Word. I'm not going to read the

00:01:30.960 --> 00:01:37.079
 whole section. I'm going to read the prologue, verses 1 to 2, and then I'll skip over to verse 14,

00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:44.859
 in our commandment for today. Exodus 20. And God spoke all these words, saying,

00:01:46.179 --> 00:01:52.200
 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

00:01:53.700 --> 00:02:01.200
 You shall not commit adultery. This is God's holy and authoritative Word. Please be seated.

00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:13.520
 In an age of Tinder and Grindr and Ashley Madison, sexual flings are just a click away.

00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:22.400
 According to an article in the Journal of Couple and Relationship Therapy, it estimates 50 to 60%

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:31.180
 of married men and 45 to 55% of married women commit adultery. That's nearly 50% of married women

00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:38.339
 couples get divorced. And over 70% of second marriages end in divorce. That means marital

00:02:38.339 --> 00:02:48.120
 infidelity affects nearly half of all couples. In light of such disheartening data, some so-called

00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:56.719
 experts have given up on monogamy altogether. There was a feature article in the New York Times

00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:03.419
 2017 called, Is an Open Marriage a Happier Marriage? There are books like The New Monogamy or The Ethical

00:03:03.419 --> 00:03:10.819
 Slut that encourage all forms of open relationships as long as it's consensual. In a TEDx video, which

00:03:10.819 --> 00:03:18.419
 nearly has 4.5 million views, entitled Monogamish, The New Rules of Marriage, sexologist Jessica O'Reilly

00:03:18.419 --> 00:03:25.359
 asserts that, quote, marriage is a failure in human design. And she continues, marriage can be restrictive

00:03:25.359 --> 00:03:32.299
 in personal growth and even repressive in its demands of absolute monogamy. In any other realm, if we saw

00:03:32.299 --> 00:03:37.899
 failure rates like we saw in marriage, we would do something about it. When anything doesn't work, we innovate.

00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:43.399
 So why do we accept monogamous marriage in its current form, despite its design flaws?

00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:50.620
 The flaw in her logic is that she assumes that the fault lies with the institution of marriage

00:03:50.620 --> 00:03:58.500
 rather than with the people who got married. Let me offer a comparison. The vast majority of students

00:03:58.500 --> 00:04:05.480
 who start learning a musical instrument give up before attaining even a modest level of competency.

00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:13.899
 But did it occur to anyone to tell these students that the problem is not their lack of self-control

00:04:13.899 --> 00:04:18.300
 or perseverance, but the design flaws of the instruments?

00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:24.019
 That these musical instruments are a failure in human design?

00:04:26.420 --> 00:04:33.019
 The fact that something isn't easy to do doesn't mean that it's not possible to do or that something

00:04:33.019 --> 00:04:42.479
 is wrong with it. Plus, marriage is not even a human design. It's a divine design. If it doesn't work,

00:04:42.659 --> 00:04:47.019
 it's because humans are broken and sinful, not because God made a mistake.

00:04:49.459 --> 00:04:57.259
 The so-called new monogamy is simply the old adultery. As G.K. Chesterton once quipped,

00:04:57.259 --> 00:05:04.379
 fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions. This is the teaching of the

00:05:04.379 --> 00:05:12.539
 seventh word of the Decalogue. As the redeemed bride of Christ, we should flee adultery of the body

00:05:12.539 --> 00:05:17.719
 and the heart. That's the main point. But in order to understand this commandment rightly, we need to

00:05:17.719 --> 00:05:22.519
 first talk about what marriage is, and then we'll talk about what adultery is, and then finally about what

00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:29.019
 the gospel is. So first, we need to understand what the marriage is, and in order to do that,

00:05:29.060 --> 00:05:35.079
 we need to go back to the beginning. In Genesis 2, 18, God looks at the man that he has created,

00:05:35.439 --> 00:05:42.219
 and he says this, it is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him a helper fit for him.

00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:47.359
 So in the preceding account, if you're familiar with the Genesis creation account, you know that

00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:55.680
 after each creative act, there's a refrain. God saw that it was good. So after creating the light,

00:05:55.819 --> 00:05:59.740
 the sea, the plants, the sun, and the moon, and the stars, the birds, and the fish, and the land

00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:05.879
 creatures, God says, I saw, he sees it, and he says it was good. But this is the first time in the

00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:11.199
 creation narrative when God sees something, and he says, it is not good. It's not good that the man is

00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:20.219
 alone. It's a jarring effect. In God's judgment, something was missing. The man's aloneness was not

00:06:20.219 --> 00:06:26.000
 good. So he determined, I will make a helper fit for him. And the phrase fit for him is literally

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:34.800
 like opposite him. It expresses a sense of fittedness and complementarity, like hand that fits snugly into

00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:40.439
 a glove. It fits into gloves precisely because the glove is hollow in the shape of a hand. It's opposite

00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:48.100
 each other. Like interlocking gears with one turning, for you, counterclockwise, the other one

00:06:48.100 --> 00:06:56.480
 turning clockwise. Like an interwead pattern of threads that form an intricate pattern precisely

00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:03.199
 because it's going in opposite directions. This pattern of complementarity runs through all of

00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:07.439
 creation. That's why we see God separating and distinguishing his works of creation throughout

00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:14.079
 Genesis 1. The heavens and the earth, light from darkness, the waters below and the waters above,

00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:20.579
 the dry land and the seas, seed-yielding plants and fruit-bearing plants, sun and the moon, the fish

00:07:20.579 --> 00:07:29.939
 of the seas and the birds of the sky. And then finally he creates man and woman. Chapter 2, verses 90 to 20

00:07:29.939 --> 00:07:43.439
 10. It's kind of a cool scene to imagine. The narrative kind of reads like the first ever speed

00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:51.500
 dating. All the animals pass in front of Adam. Adam takes a look, gives it a name, and then says,

00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:59.240
 no. They pass through. Right. You could imagine Adam at the end of the line hanging his head

00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:06.180
 and saying to God, God, all of these are marvelous creatures, so diverse in their beauty and glory that

00:08:06.180 --> 00:08:16.879
 you have created, but none of them is for me. And so the Lord puts Adam to sleep, takes one of Adam's

00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:22.800
 own ribs and shapes it into a woman and brings her to the man. The woman is a living creature like the

00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:28.699
 other creatures, but she's also profoundly unlike the other living creatures because she has been

00:08:28.699 --> 00:08:37.000
 taken from Adam's own body to be for him, to be by his side as his helper. So it is no wonder then

00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:43.620
 that the man breaks out into spontaneous song and poetry the moment he lays his eyes on the woman. In Genesis

00:08:43.620 --> 00:08:55.320
 2.23, he says, this at last is bone of my bones, flesh of my flesh. She shall be called woman because she was

00:08:55.320 --> 00:09:08.360
 taken out of man. At last. Here is the one whom my heart desires. At last, here is one who is like me, who fits

00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:15.600
 me, who understands me. At last, here is the one whom I can love and give myself to.

00:09:18.180 --> 00:09:24.360
 This happy union between Adam and Eve is the first marriage. And so in Genesis 2.24-25, it says,

00:09:24.779 --> 00:09:29.500
 therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall

00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:36.200
 become one flesh. And the man and his wife are both naked and were not ashamed. Why do you think it says,

00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:41.840
 therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife? Because man and woman

00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:48.640
 fulfill their creational destiny when she who was taken from the man is taken back to the man,

00:09:48.780 --> 00:09:54.980
 and they become one flesh. Together, then and only then, can they fulfill the creational mandate

00:09:54.980 --> 00:10:02.759
 to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it. The Bible elsewhere describes this

00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:10.340
 marriage between a man and woman as a covenant, as it says in Malachi 2.14. Covenant is an oath-bound

00:10:10.340 --> 00:10:16.539
 relationship. It is legally binding because it's bound with an oath, but it's also deeply relational

00:10:16.539 --> 00:10:26.220
 and requires faithfulness, steadfast love. And marriage in particular is a covenant that God plays a decisive

00:10:26.220 --> 00:10:33.779
 role in. So he says in Matthew 19, after quoting Genesis 2.24, it says, therefore, a man shall leave

00:10:33.779 --> 00:10:38.180
 his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. Jesus explains it

00:10:38.180 --> 00:10:45.399
 this way. He says, so they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together,

00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:55.960
 let not man separate. The state gives legal recognition to marriage. The pastor officiates the

00:10:55.960 --> 00:11:03.600
 wedding. The couple takes their marriage vows, but none of them is ultimately responsible for making

00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:15.180
 a man and a woman married. That's a divine prerogative. As Dietrich Bonhoeffer said in one of his wedding

00:11:15.180 --> 00:11:23.620
 sermons from prison, quote, your love is your own private possession, but marriage is more than something

00:11:23.620 --> 00:11:31.460
 personal. It is a status and office, just as it is the crown and not merely the will to rule that makes

00:11:31.460 --> 00:11:37.360
 the king. So it is marriage and not merely your love for each other that joins you together in the

00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:44.980
 sight of God and man. The fact that a man and woman love each other doesn't make them married. It's when God

00:11:44.980 --> 00:11:49.560
 does something authoritatively and makes them and binds them as a couple that they are married.

00:11:49.559 --> 00:11:56.239
 And marriage is such a beautiful union, right? There's really nothing quite like it in all human

00:11:56.239 --> 00:12:03.959
 relationships. It says in Genesis 2.25, and the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

00:12:06.619 --> 00:12:13.599
 Yeah, this was before the fall. After Adam and Eve rebelled against God, in Genesis 3.7, they recognized

00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:21.940
 their nakedness and they covered themselves with fig leaves to cover their shame. Ever since then,

00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:29.200
 every human being has always worn clothes, at least the ones that have enough sense of shame.

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:36.800
 Have you ever noticed that no animal ever covers itself with clothes?

00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:45.759
 clothing is a human phenomenon because we uniquely feel the shame of alienation and nakedness that

00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:55.579
 come from sin. But there is one place still left in all the world where a man and a woman may be

00:12:55.579 --> 00:13:06.779
 naked and unashamed. In the act of sex. In the

00:13:06.779 --> 00:13:14.480
 security and intimacy of a marriage covenant. The man and the woman are naked, like Adam and Eve once

00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:23.179
 were. It is only in a biblical marriage where you know that your spouse is unreservedly for you and

00:13:23.179 --> 00:13:31.079
 resolutely and exclusively committed to you till death do you part. It's only in that kind of biblical

00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:38.780
 marriage where you are fully known to each other. All your foibles known. All your blemishes seen.

00:13:38.780 --> 00:13:44.580
 But still, where you have no fear at all of being repulsed or rejected.

00:13:47.580 --> 00:13:55.259
 That's the one place where you can truly enjoy sex as God intended and be naked and unashamed.

00:13:55.259 --> 00:14:00.659
 No sexual flame can ever come close to that.

00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:11.720
 I've never heard of happily married, faithful Christian couples experiencing post-sex blues

00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:14.960
 or as doctors call it, post-coital dysphoria.

00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:25.160
 Post-sex blues is what you feel after giving away what is so precious, your body, sex, at cut prices.

00:14:27.660 --> 00:14:33.480
 It's the guilt and shame and insecurity you feel after sharing something so intimate with someone

00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:41.440
 you don't fully know or trust. It's what you feel because you're still carrying the pain and shame

00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.080
 from having been violated sexually in the past.

00:14:46.620 --> 00:14:49.940
 Post-sex blues is a mark of sexual brokenness.

00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:56.440
 And it reminds us that there's something better, something whole, something pure.

00:14:58.100 --> 00:15:04.080
 All other forms of sex outside of biblical marriage are degrading counterfeits of that glorious union.

00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:12.040
 Now that we've discussed what marriage is and how precious it is, we can truly come to understand

00:15:12.040 --> 00:15:13.160
 what adultery is.

00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:18.800
 Adultery is forbidden not because God wants to deprive us of something good,

00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.300
 but because he wants to preserve for us something good.

00:15:25.139 --> 00:15:30.680
 We call the sexual act between a married person and another individual that is not his or her spouse

00:15:30.680 --> 00:15:31.259
 adultery.

00:15:31.259 --> 00:15:35.019
 Adultery is a breach of a sacred trust.

00:15:36.019 --> 00:15:41.580
 It's a grievous betrayal of a person who has bared his body and heart and soul to you.

00:15:43.220 --> 00:15:46.659
 It shows contempt for the authority of God who makes marriages.

00:15:47.299 --> 00:15:51.120
 It is selfish and short-sighted and it wrecks marriages.

00:15:51.379 --> 00:15:53.039
 It wrecks families.

00:15:53.259 --> 00:15:54.960
 It wrecks children's lives.

00:15:56.840 --> 00:16:01.019
 And in so doing, it does violence to the very building block of human society.

00:16:01.259 --> 00:16:09.299
 And because of its sexual nature, adultery is particularly grievous in that it's a sin against

00:16:09.299 --> 00:16:10.220
 one's own body.

00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:17.439
 Paul talks about how sexual sin is unique in that in 1 Corinthians 6, that it's a sin against

00:16:17.439 --> 00:16:18.899
 one's own body.

00:16:18.899 --> 00:16:23.939
 In marriage, the two become one flesh.

00:16:23.939 --> 00:16:31.340
 And he argues there that when a man has sex with a prostitute, he becomes one body with her.

00:16:31.340 --> 00:16:40.800
 God designed sex to be an act that expresses and consummates the self-giving love between a husband and wife.

00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:48.180
 That's why in 1 Corinthians 7, it commands husbands and wives to give each other their conjugal rights.

00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:52.540
 For it says, the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does.

00:16:53.080 --> 00:16:57.120
 Likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:01.159
 The husband and wife belong to one another.

00:17:01.779 --> 00:17:03.399
 They are not their own.

00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:12.079
 For this reason, to interpose a third party to this intimate relationship is to defraud one's spouse

00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.680
 of what rightly belongs to him or her alone.

00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.720
 That's why we call it cheating.

00:17:19.779 --> 00:17:23.140
 In Proverbs 5, it warns against adultery and it says,

00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:26.840
 Drink water from your own cistern, flowing water from your own well.

00:17:27.279 --> 00:17:30.580
 Should your springs be scattered abroad, streams of water in the streets,

00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:35.000
 let them be for yourself alone and not for strangers with you.

00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:41.640
 Our cistern was basically a big water pit that people in ancient Israel used to store rainwater

00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:43.380
 because it's a dried, arid climate.

00:17:43.740 --> 00:17:47.460
 They don't get that much drinkable water, so they would save every drop of rain

00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:48.500
 because it was precious to them.

00:17:48.660 --> 00:17:54.240
 But a cistern was a private possession, unlike wells and springs that are out and about.

00:17:55.100 --> 00:17:56.540
 And so he's using this analogy.

00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:06.040
 Imagine your cistern being broken open for any stranger walking by to sully and to defile

00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:09.500
 and to drink with their mouths and their hands.

00:18:17.180 --> 00:18:20.639
 Have you ever had the experience of someone betraying your confidence

00:18:20.639 --> 00:18:23.079
 and sharing your secret with strangers?

00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.399
 Have you ever had someone take what is yours by right

00:18:30.399 --> 00:18:35.159
 and give it away to someone else, to other people?

00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.740
 That's what happens in adultery.

00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:44.420
 You're giving away what is not yours to give away

00:18:44.420 --> 00:18:46.420
 because you belong to your spouse.

00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:54.740
 Some of you might think, well, I've never committed adultery, so I'm in the clear.

00:18:56.619 --> 00:18:59.500
 But the seventh command goes beyond adultery.

00:19:00.579 --> 00:19:04.680
 1 Timothy 1, 8, 11, Paul describes how the law of God can still function

00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:06.880
 in convicting the lawless and the disobedient.

00:19:07.100 --> 00:19:11.519
 And he says, he lists the second half of the Ten Commandments in that list.

00:19:11.600 --> 00:19:15.080
 He says the law is laid down for those who strike their fathers and mothers.

00:19:15.539 --> 00:19:17.840
 That's the fifth commandment, right?

00:19:19.600 --> 00:19:20.600
 Honor your father and mother.

00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:24.480
 And then he says for murderers, that's the sixth commandment,

00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:25.299
 you shall not murder.

00:19:25.299 --> 00:19:29.799
 The sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality,

00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:32.579
 that's all under the seventh commandment,

00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:34.200
 you shall not commit adultery.

00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:38.480
 And then he says enslavers, liars, perjurers,

00:19:38.619 --> 00:19:40.399
 and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine.

00:19:40.500 --> 00:19:42.399
 Enslavers refers to man stealing.

00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:43.500
 That's the command.

00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:44.480
 You shall not steal.

00:19:44.940 --> 00:19:48.319
 Liars, you shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

00:19:48.639 --> 00:19:52.139
 He's going through one by one the Ten Commandments in this list.

00:19:52.140 --> 00:19:56.640
 And he puts homosexuality, practicing homosexuality,

00:19:56.680 --> 00:19:59.520
 and sexual immorality, which is a general umbrella term

00:19:59.520 --> 00:20:01.220
 for all kinds of sexual sin,

00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:04.940
 under the purview of the seventh commandment.

00:20:09.140 --> 00:20:13.620
 So that includes fornication and cohabiting,

00:20:14.820 --> 00:20:15.800
 sex before marriage.

00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:19.440
 That includes bestiality.

00:20:20.619 --> 00:20:22.919
 That includes homosexuality.

00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:24.619
 That includes incest.

00:20:24.859 --> 00:20:26.119
 That includes prostitution.

00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:28.359
 That includes sexual abuse.

00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:34.980
 You may have noticed that while some of these are sins

00:20:34.980 --> 00:20:37.839
 that are still condemned by the broader culture,

00:20:38.480 --> 00:20:41.480
 some of them are not condemned by the culture anymore.

00:20:41.480 --> 00:20:46.500
 In fact, cohabiting with someone outside of marriage

00:20:46.500 --> 00:20:48.759
 is not only widely accepted in our culture,

00:20:49.099 --> 00:20:52.279
 it is often commended as wise by the world.

00:20:54.519 --> 00:20:57.140
 Same-sex relations are not merely condoned.

00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:00.799
 They are now celebrated as courageous and authentic.

00:21:03.299 --> 00:21:05.940
 If the strong language that the Bible uses

00:21:05.940 --> 00:21:08.539
 to condemn these sins makes you squirm,

00:21:08.539 --> 00:21:12.859
 if you can't bring yourself to condemn

00:21:12.859 --> 00:21:15.440
 what God condemns in his word,

00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:19.460
 then you might have become more worldly than you realize.

00:21:23.059 --> 00:21:25.339
 David F. Wells, theologian, writes in his book,

00:21:25.420 --> 00:21:26.259
 God in the Wasteland,

00:21:26.740 --> 00:21:30.720
 worldliness is what makes sin look normal in any age,

00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:33.859
 and righteousness seem odd.

00:21:33.859 --> 00:21:42.679
 There's a pervasive worldliness among Christians nowadays

00:21:42.679 --> 00:21:45.799
 when it comes to issues surrounding sex and sexuality.

00:21:46.699 --> 00:21:47.339
 Pervasive.

00:21:49.439 --> 00:21:52.299
 We've been so desensitized to sexual sin

00:21:52.299 --> 00:21:54.059
 because we see it everywhere.

00:21:54.699 --> 00:21:56.559
 On the billboards, on the checkout line,

00:21:56.639 --> 00:21:57.639
 in the grocery store,

00:21:57.859 --> 00:21:59.159
 in movies,

00:21:59.719 --> 00:22:00.679
 in TV shows,

00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:01.719
 social media.

00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:05.319
 Even at a cafe.

00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:09.940
 But the word of God teaches us

00:22:09.940 --> 00:22:11.220
 that any physical act

00:22:11.220 --> 00:22:13.140
 that distorts or cheapens

00:22:13.140 --> 00:22:14.740
 God's design for marriage,

00:22:14.880 --> 00:22:16.819
 as laid out in Genesis 2, 24-25,

00:22:17.140 --> 00:22:19.160
 is a violation of the seventh commandment.

00:22:21.460 --> 00:22:22.380
 And I want to reiterate

00:22:22.380 --> 00:22:24.319
 that God gave us the seventh commandment

00:22:24.319 --> 00:22:26.299
 not to deprive us of something good,

00:22:26.600 --> 00:22:28.440
 but to preserve for us something good.

00:22:28.440 --> 00:22:32.440
 Our culture has widely adopted

00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:33.840
 Sigmund Freud's claim

00:22:33.840 --> 00:22:36.500
 that sexual desire and sexual fulfillment

00:22:36.500 --> 00:22:39.779
 are core aspects of what it means to be human.

00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:43.279
 In light of that perspective,

00:22:43.600 --> 00:22:47.100
 anything that limits consensual sexual expression

00:22:47.100 --> 00:22:48.340
 is seen as oppressive.

00:22:48.339 --> 00:22:52.480
 But it's a folly to view

00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:53.419
 the seventh commandment

00:22:53.419 --> 00:22:54.819
 as restrictive and oppressive.

00:22:56.059 --> 00:22:58.079
 Imagine going to a theme park

00:22:58.079 --> 00:22:59.859
 and riding a roller coaster,

00:23:00.319 --> 00:23:01.480
 which I enjoy doing.

00:23:03.399 --> 00:23:04.579
 It seems to me

00:23:04.579 --> 00:23:05.819
 that the faster it goes,

00:23:05.859 --> 00:23:06.139
 the better.

00:23:07.339 --> 00:23:08.839
 The sharper it turns,

00:23:09.779 --> 00:23:11.299
 the crazier it spins,

00:23:11.939 --> 00:23:13.459
 the more you're upside down

00:23:13.459 --> 00:23:14.099
 and turned about,

00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:15.339
 the more fun, right?

00:23:15.339 --> 00:23:15.740
 Anybody?

00:23:17.179 --> 00:23:17.779
 Anybody?

00:23:18.579 --> 00:23:19.220
 Yes.

00:23:21.399 --> 00:23:24.000
 But one key detail we must not forget

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:25.679
 is that a roller coaster

00:23:25.679 --> 00:23:29.459
 never leaves its tracks.

00:23:34.799 --> 00:23:37.079
 In fact, if it ever gets derailed,

00:23:37.839 --> 00:23:40.240
 you might think for a fleeting moment,

00:23:40.379 --> 00:23:41.799
 oh, this is so fun,

00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:44.439
 but it's the deadliest ride

00:23:44.439 --> 00:23:45.139
 you've ever been on.

00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:52.700
 That's exactly what it's like

00:23:52.700 --> 00:23:53.960
 to transgress God's loss.

00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:56.980
 Sin, no matter how pleasant

00:23:56.980 --> 00:23:59.240
 its fleeting pleasures might seem,

00:23:59.340 --> 00:24:00.940
 ultimately leads to death.

00:24:03.500 --> 00:24:05.100
 A roller coaster is enjoyable

00:24:05.100 --> 00:24:08.320
 precisely because it never leaves its tracks.

00:24:09.940 --> 00:24:12.400
 Likewise, sex is meant to be enjoyed

00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:14.080
 within the guardrails of marriage.

00:24:14.079 --> 00:24:18.240
 Well then, some people say,

00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:19.259
 well, if I can have sex

00:24:19.259 --> 00:24:20.500
 only in the context of marriage,

00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:23.099
 then I'll just keep divorcing and remarrying.

00:24:23.099 --> 00:24:30.399
 Jesus knew some people thought that way.

00:24:30.919 --> 00:24:33.419
 So when he's explaining the seventh commandment

00:24:33.419 --> 00:24:35.679
 in Matthew 5, 29 to 30,

00:24:35.740 --> 00:24:36.399
 he says this,

00:24:36.759 --> 00:24:38.859
 everyone who divorces his wife,

00:24:39.139 --> 00:24:41.039
 except on the ground of sexual immorality,

00:24:41.199 --> 00:24:42.919
 makes her commit adultery,

00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:46.539
 and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

00:24:48.300 --> 00:24:51.060
 If you marry a divorced man or a woman,

00:24:51.420 --> 00:24:52.800
 you are committing adultery.

00:24:52.799 --> 00:24:57.259
 Not only that,

00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:58.839
 if you divorce your wife

00:24:58.839 --> 00:25:00.919
 so that she has little choice but to remarry,

00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:03.579
 remember this command was given in a day and age

00:25:03.579 --> 00:25:05.740
 when women were largely economically dependent

00:25:05.740 --> 00:25:06.440
 on their husbands,

00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:09.059
 then the husband is guilty

00:25:09.059 --> 00:25:11.119
 of making his wife commit adultery,

00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:15.259
 except when the wife has already committed adultery.

00:25:16.019 --> 00:25:17.919
 Then the husband is not guilty

00:25:17.919 --> 00:25:19.219
 of making or commit adultery.

00:25:20.919 --> 00:25:22.099
 I'm going a bit fast,

00:25:22.179 --> 00:25:22.939
 but I hope you're following.

00:25:23.399 --> 00:25:24.979
 This doesn't make any sense to us

00:25:24.979 --> 00:25:26.339
 because if you're divorced,

00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:27.719
 you're not married anymore,

00:25:27.899 --> 00:25:29.099
 and if you're not married anymore,

00:25:29.219 --> 00:25:31.099
 then you're eligible to marry, right?

00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:32.879
 That's how we think

00:25:32.879 --> 00:25:33.779
 in our society,

00:25:33.819 --> 00:25:34.259
 in our culture.

00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:36.739
 Sleeping with a married man is adultery,

00:25:36.740 --> 00:25:39.880
 but sleeping with a divorced man or a woman

00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:41.339
 is not adultery, is it?

00:25:43.559 --> 00:25:45.380
 Why is Jesus saying that it's adultery?

00:25:47.019 --> 00:25:48.700
 1 Corinthians 7, 39 explains,

00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:50.160
 a wife is bound to her husband

00:25:50.160 --> 00:25:51.779
 as long as he lives,

00:25:52.099 --> 00:25:53.440
 but if her husband dies,

00:25:53.579 --> 00:25:55.500
 she is free to be married to whom she wishes,

00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:56.359
 only in the Lord,

00:25:56.740 --> 00:25:57.359
 and vice versa.

00:25:58.660 --> 00:26:00.420
 Similarly, Romans 7, 1 to 3 says,

00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:01.519
 do you not know, brothers,

00:26:01.579 --> 00:26:03.240
 that the law is binding on a person

00:26:03.240 --> 00:26:04.539
 only as long as he lives?

00:26:04.980 --> 00:26:06.240
 For a married woman is bound

00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:07.539
 by law to her husband

00:26:07.539 --> 00:26:08.779
 while he lives,

00:26:08.940 --> 00:26:10.059
 but if her husband dies,

00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:11.660
 she is released from the law of marriage.

00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:13.720
 Accordingly, she will be called an adulteress

00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:15.420
 if she lives with another man

00:26:15.420 --> 00:26:16.640
 while her husband is alive,

00:26:16.980 --> 00:26:18.299
 but if her husband dies,

00:26:18.900 --> 00:26:20.160
 she is free from that law,

00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:21.940
 and if she marries another man,

00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:23.140
 she is not an adulteress.

00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:26.180
 When a Christian is divorced

00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:27.579
 from his or her spouse,

00:26:27.579 --> 00:26:28.819
 even for legitimate

00:26:28.819 --> 00:26:31.019
 and understandable reasons,

00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:33.480
 remarriage to another man or a woman

00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:35.240
 is not one of the options.

00:26:36.240 --> 00:26:38.380
 Because that constitutes adultery.

00:26:39.880 --> 00:26:42.400
 The two viable options for you

00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:44.620
 are then celibacy or reconciliation.

00:26:46.420 --> 00:26:47.859
 And this is because

00:26:47.859 --> 00:26:50.039
 while the marriage vows might be broken,

00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:52.920
 the marriage bond cannot be broken.

00:26:53.460 --> 00:26:54.880
 Because as we saw earlier,

00:26:55.059 --> 00:26:56.519
 God, not man,

00:26:56.940 --> 00:26:57.980
 makes marriages.

00:26:59.059 --> 00:27:01.420
 And it's binding till death do you part.

00:27:01.420 --> 00:27:05.080
 This is the consistent teaching of Jesus

00:27:05.080 --> 00:27:06.240
 throughout the Gospels

00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:07.580
 as we see in Mark 10, 11

00:27:07.580 --> 00:27:09.279
 and Luke 16, 18.

00:27:10.580 --> 00:27:12.380
 A disgruntled husband and wife

00:27:12.380 --> 00:27:13.120
 can go around

00:27:13.120 --> 00:27:14.800
 declaring themselves divorced

00:27:14.800 --> 00:27:15.660
 all they want,

00:27:15.900 --> 00:27:18.240
 but that doesn't actually make them divorced

00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:19.620
 because only a judge

00:27:19.620 --> 00:27:21.080
 can legally announce that.

00:27:22.120 --> 00:27:23.220
 Even more importantly,

00:27:23.620 --> 00:27:24.960
 no husband or wife

00:27:24.960 --> 00:27:27.519
 can actually sever the spiritual bond

00:27:27.519 --> 00:27:29.240
 that God has formed.

00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:31.059
 Only God can do that.

00:27:32.799 --> 00:27:34.640
 What therefore God has joined together,

00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:36.420
 let not man separate.

00:27:38.039 --> 00:27:39.059
 For this reason,

00:27:39.900 --> 00:27:40.880
 serial marriages,

00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:44.019
 divorce and remarriage,

00:27:44.720 --> 00:27:46.099
 fall under the prohibition

00:27:46.099 --> 00:27:47.039
 of the seventh commandment.

00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:51.000
 Now this is getting harder and harder,

00:27:51.119 --> 00:27:51.379
 isn't it?

00:27:51.639 --> 00:27:51.759
 Yeah.

00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:54.319
 Some of you might think,

00:27:54.420 --> 00:27:54.559
 well,

00:27:54.960 --> 00:27:56.859
 I've been enjoying sex within marriage

00:27:56.859 --> 00:27:57.859
 and I've never been divorced,

00:27:57.960 --> 00:27:58.740
 so I'm in the clear.

00:28:00.059 --> 00:28:01.220
 But the seventh commandment

00:28:01.220 --> 00:28:02.859
 goes beyond mere physical acts.

00:28:04.139 --> 00:28:05.039
 Jesus teaches us

00:28:05.039 --> 00:28:06.599
 the spirit of the seventh commandment

00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:08.399
 in Matthew 5, 27 and 28.

00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:09.079
 He said,

00:28:09.139 --> 00:28:10.379
 you have heard that it was said,

00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:11.859
 you shall not commit adultery,

00:28:11.859 --> 00:28:13.199
 but I say to you

00:28:13.199 --> 00:28:15.299
 that everyone who looks at a woman

00:28:15.299 --> 00:28:16.500
 with lustful intent

00:28:16.500 --> 00:28:18.359
 has already committed adultery

00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:20.679
 with her in his heart.

00:28:23.439 --> 00:28:26.519
 Even if you never have sex with someone,

00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:29.259
 you can commit adultery of the heart

00:28:29.259 --> 00:28:30.779
 by lusting after someone.

00:28:32.679 --> 00:28:34.279
 This is not the same thing

00:28:34.279 --> 00:28:36.500
 as noticing a very attractive

00:28:36.500 --> 00:28:38.099
 or provocatively dressed person.

00:28:38.099 --> 00:28:41.439
 There is a difference

00:28:41.439 --> 00:28:43.459
 between being tempted and sinning.

00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:46.119
 Hebrews 4, 15 says,

00:28:46.299 --> 00:28:47.419
 even Jesus was tempted,

00:28:47.599 --> 00:28:48.419
 but he was without sin.

00:28:48.439 --> 00:28:49.619
 He was tempted in every way

00:28:49.619 --> 00:28:50.339
 just as we are,

00:28:50.419 --> 00:28:51.319
 yet he did not sin.

00:28:53.699 --> 00:28:54.699
 So there's a difference

00:28:54.699 --> 00:28:56.139
 between temptation and sin.

00:28:56.259 --> 00:28:57.219
 Let me illustrate this

00:28:57.219 --> 00:28:58.859
 using the most famous example

00:28:58.859 --> 00:28:59.819
 of adultery in scripture.

00:29:00.699 --> 00:29:02.480
 In 2 Samuel 11, 2,

00:29:03.099 --> 00:29:05.199
 David was walking on the roof

00:29:05.199 --> 00:29:06.139
 of the king's house

00:29:06.139 --> 00:29:08.039
 and then he saw from the roof

00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:09.559
 a woman bathing.

00:29:10.500 --> 00:29:11.339
 It says the woman

00:29:11.339 --> 00:29:12.399
 was very beautiful.

00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:15.799
 Seeing Bathsheba

00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.619
 and noticing that she is very beautiful

00:29:18.619 --> 00:29:20.000
 are not sinful.

00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:23.200
 That's a temptation.

00:29:25.379 --> 00:29:26.839
 It's what happens next

00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:27.440
 that's sinful.

00:29:28.399 --> 00:29:31.480
 David sent and inquired

00:29:31.480 --> 00:29:32.420
 about the woman.

00:29:35.119 --> 00:29:37.659
 Now he is fantasizing.

00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:39.819
 David is inquiring,

00:29:40.359 --> 00:29:41.920
 exploring possibilities.

00:29:43.119 --> 00:29:44.619
 He is committing adultery

00:29:44.619 --> 00:29:45.159
 of the heart.

00:29:46.779 --> 00:29:47.899
 And adultery of the heart

00:29:47.899 --> 00:29:49.339
 unsurprisingly leads

00:29:49.339 --> 00:29:50.559
 to adultery of the flesh.

00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:52.200
 David sent messengers

00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:53.159
 and took her.

00:29:54.779 --> 00:29:55.779
 And she came to him

00:29:55.779 --> 00:29:56.740
 and he lay with her.

00:29:58.180 --> 00:29:59.039
 When you notice

00:29:59.039 --> 00:30:00.019
 an attractive man

00:30:00.019 --> 00:30:00.599
 or a woman

00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:01.680
 avert your eyes

00:30:01.680 --> 00:30:03.000
 and stop yourself

00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:03.879
 from fantasizing

00:30:03.880 --> 00:30:04.340
 and lusting

00:30:04.340 --> 00:30:04.360
 and lusting

00:30:04.360 --> 00:30:05.200
 after him or her

00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:05.940
 don't take

00:30:05.940 --> 00:30:07.260
 a second look.

00:30:09.460 --> 00:30:10.580
 Watching porn

00:30:10.580 --> 00:30:11.660
 is also tantamount

00:30:11.660 --> 00:30:12.120
 to adultery

00:30:12.120 --> 00:30:12.620
 of the heart.

00:30:15.080 --> 00:30:16.280
 It doesn't matter

00:30:16.280 --> 00:30:17.620
 that it's hentai

00:30:17.620 --> 00:30:19.660
 or a pornified video game.

00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:21.560
 It has the same

00:30:21.560 --> 00:30:22.960
 adulterating effect

00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:23.580
 on your heart

00:30:23.580 --> 00:30:25.980
 and the same

00:30:25.980 --> 00:30:27.020
 deadly consequences

00:30:27.020 --> 00:30:27.680
 in your life.

00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:31.539
 It draws your heart

00:30:31.539 --> 00:30:33.000
 away from your spouse

00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:34.820
 and away from God

00:30:34.820 --> 00:30:35.420
 if you're single.

00:30:37.340 --> 00:30:38.220
 Single or married.

00:30:39.360 --> 00:30:40.360
 According to a site

00:30:40.360 --> 00:30:40.900
 that measures

00:30:40.900 --> 00:30:42.000
 website metrics,

00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:43.740
 three of the top 15

00:30:43.740 --> 00:30:44.980
 most trafficked websites

00:30:44.980 --> 00:30:45.420
 in the world

00:30:45.420 --> 00:30:46.160
 are porn sites.

00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:49.980
 According to the data

00:30:49.980 --> 00:30:50.940
 that Pornhub releases

00:30:50.940 --> 00:30:51.440
 every year,

00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:52.100
 in 2019

00:30:52.100 --> 00:30:52.700
 there were over

00:30:52.700 --> 00:30:54.500
 42 billion visits

00:30:54.500 --> 00:30:55.120
 to Pornhub,

00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:56.119
 an average

00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:57.759
 of 115 million

00:30:57.759 --> 00:30:58.739
 visits per day.

00:30:59.239 --> 00:31:00.339
 That's more visits

00:31:00.339 --> 00:31:01.139
 than Netflix

00:31:01.139 --> 00:31:01.839
 or Amazon.

00:31:05.399 --> 00:31:06.779
 That's over a third

00:31:06.779 --> 00:31:07.479
 of the entire

00:31:07.479 --> 00:31:08.459
 U.S. population.

00:31:08.759 --> 00:31:09.639
 That many people

00:31:09.639 --> 00:31:10.739
 from all over the world

00:31:10.739 --> 00:31:11.899
 are watching porn

00:31:11.899 --> 00:31:13.500
 every single day.

00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:16.899
 One sociologist

00:31:16.899 --> 00:31:17.819
 estimates that porn

00:31:17.819 --> 00:31:19.359
 is a $97 billion

00:31:19.359 --> 00:31:20.879
 industry globally.

00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:23.379
 According to

00:31:23.379 --> 00:31:23.939
 Covenant Eyes

00:31:23.939 --> 00:31:24.679
 which is a leading

00:31:24.680 --> 00:31:25.779
 accountability software

00:31:25.779 --> 00:31:26.580
 that records

00:31:26.580 --> 00:31:27.360
 your interactivity

00:31:27.360 --> 00:31:28.180
 and blocks porn

00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:28.900
 on your web browsers,

00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:30.580
 they say one in five

00:31:30.580 --> 00:31:31.480
 mobile searches

00:31:31.480 --> 00:31:32.279
 are for pornography.

00:31:32.840 --> 00:31:33.759
 One in five.

00:31:35.120 --> 00:31:37.759
 28,258 users

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:38.740
 are watching porn

00:31:38.740 --> 00:31:40.160
 this very second.

00:31:43.180 --> 00:31:45.200
 51% of male students

00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:46.900
 and 32% of female students

00:31:46.900 --> 00:31:48.000
 first viewed porn

00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:49.400
 before their teenage years.

00:31:50.740 --> 00:31:51.539
 It's a myth

00:31:51.539 --> 00:31:52.779
 that porn and masturbation

00:31:52.779 --> 00:31:53.460
 are only an issue

00:31:53.460 --> 00:31:53.960
 among men.

00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:58.820
 88% of scenes

00:31:58.820 --> 00:31:59.680
 in porn films

00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:00.580
 contain acts

00:32:00.580 --> 00:32:01.840
 of physical aggression.

00:32:05.360 --> 00:32:07.019
 If you look at any porn

00:32:07.019 --> 00:32:08.220
 that means the likelihood

00:32:08.220 --> 00:32:09.279
 of you watching porn

00:32:09.279 --> 00:32:09.860
 that involves

00:32:09.860 --> 00:32:11.019
 physical aggression

00:32:11.019 --> 00:32:13.420
 is very, very high.

00:32:18.420 --> 00:32:20.180
 68% of divorce cases

00:32:20.180 --> 00:32:21.140
 involved one party

00:32:21.140 --> 00:32:21.940
 meeting a new lover

00:32:21.940 --> 00:32:22.539
 over the internet.

00:32:22.539 --> 00:32:24.920
 56% of divorce cases

00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:25.960
 involved one party

00:32:25.960 --> 00:32:26.379
 having

00:32:26.379 --> 00:32:30.180
 an obsessive interest

00:32:30.180 --> 00:32:31.680
 in pornographic websites.

00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:35.779
 The situation is bleak

00:32:35.779 --> 00:32:36.519
 in the church too.

00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:38.740
 One in five

00:32:38.740 --> 00:32:39.460
 youth pastors,

00:32:40.019 --> 00:32:40.980
 one in seven

00:32:40.980 --> 00:32:41.960
 senior pastors

00:32:41.960 --> 00:32:42.700
 use porn

00:32:42.700 --> 00:32:43.579
 on a regular basis

00:32:43.579 --> 00:32:44.619
 and are currently

00:32:44.619 --> 00:32:45.440
 struggling.

00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:50.740
 that's more than 50,000

00:32:50.740 --> 00:32:51.539
 U.S. church leaders.

00:32:53.779 --> 00:32:55.559
 64% of Christian men

00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:57.220
 and 15% of Christian women

00:32:57.220 --> 00:32:58.120
 say they watch porn

00:32:58.120 --> 00:32:59.100
 at least once a month.

00:32:59.660 --> 00:33:01.320
 If that statistic holds

00:33:01.320 --> 00:33:02.059
 in our church,

00:33:02.100 --> 00:33:03.860
 that means more than 25 men

00:33:03.860 --> 00:33:04.900
 here right now

00:33:04.900 --> 00:33:07.160
 and more than six women

00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:08.480
 here right now

00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:09.460
 look at porn

00:33:09.460 --> 00:33:10.299
 every month.

00:33:10.299 --> 00:33:19.200
 I don't say this

00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:20.039
 to shame you

00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:24.279
 but I want to remind you

00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:25.500
 that you're not alone

00:33:25.500 --> 00:33:26.119
 in this fight.

00:33:28.399 --> 00:33:29.720
 1 Corinthians 10, 13

00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:30.319
 reminds us

00:33:30.319 --> 00:33:31.659
 no temptation

00:33:31.659 --> 00:33:33.119
 has overtaken you

00:33:33.119 --> 00:33:34.559
 that is not common

00:33:34.559 --> 00:33:35.159
 to man.

00:33:36.259 --> 00:33:37.480
 God is faithful

00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:38.460
 and he will not

00:33:38.460 --> 00:33:39.279
 let you be tempted

00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:40.340
 beyond your ability

00:33:40.340 --> 00:33:41.860
 but with the temptation

00:33:41.860 --> 00:33:43.039
 he will also provide

00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:43.980
 a way of escape

00:33:43.980 --> 00:33:45.160
 that you may be able

00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:46.240
 to endure it.

00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:48.860
 This is such a wonderful

00:33:48.860 --> 00:33:49.980
 reminder to all

00:33:49.980 --> 00:33:50.460
 who struggle

00:33:50.460 --> 00:33:51.460
 with sexual temptation.

00:33:52.460 --> 00:33:54.079
 All your temptations

00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:55.259
 and sin struggles

00:33:55.259 --> 00:33:56.740
 are common.

00:33:58.200 --> 00:33:59.900
 No matter how kinky

00:33:59.900 --> 00:34:00.799
 or deviant

00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:02.059
 it might seem to you

00:34:02.059 --> 00:34:03.420
 it's common.

00:34:03.420 --> 00:34:08.599
 So don't believe

00:34:08.599 --> 00:34:09.460
 the enemy's lie

00:34:09.460 --> 00:34:09.880
 that says

00:34:09.880 --> 00:34:11.119
 you're the only one

00:34:11.119 --> 00:34:12.039
 who struggles

00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:12.960
 with this sin

00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:13.760
 or that sin

00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:15.680
 because that's

00:34:15.680 --> 00:34:16.480
 his ruse

00:34:16.480 --> 00:34:17.139
 to keep you

00:34:17.139 --> 00:34:18.340
 isolated in shame

00:34:18.340 --> 00:34:22.599
 so that you can

00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:23.300
 never come out

00:34:23.300 --> 00:34:23.940
 into the light

00:34:23.940 --> 00:34:25.559
 to heal and grow.

00:34:27.740 --> 00:34:28.880
 And don't believe

00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:29.539
 the enemy's lie

00:34:29.539 --> 00:34:30.400
 that you can never

00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:31.720
 overcome this sin

00:34:31.720 --> 00:34:33.159
 that your sexual drive

00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:34.279
 is too strong

00:34:34.279 --> 00:34:35.119
 that this is an

00:34:35.119 --> 00:34:36.899
 inevitable human struggle.

00:34:37.359 --> 00:34:38.279
 That's how the enemy

00:34:38.279 --> 00:34:39.139
 tries to make you

00:34:39.139 --> 00:34:39.980
 stop fighting.

00:34:41.000 --> 00:34:41.980
 But the word of God

00:34:41.980 --> 00:34:42.859
 tells us that you are

00:34:42.859 --> 00:34:44.059
 never tempted

00:34:44.059 --> 00:34:45.039
 beyond your ability.

00:34:45.859 --> 00:34:46.159
 Never.

00:34:48.859 --> 00:34:50.079
 With every temptation

00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:50.859
 God provides

00:34:50.859 --> 00:34:51.599
 a way of escape.

00:34:52.179 --> 00:34:53.199
 There is a way

00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:53.679
 of escape

00:34:53.679 --> 00:34:54.940
 from sexual addiction

00:34:54.940 --> 00:34:56.339
 and there are men

00:34:56.339 --> 00:34:57.039
 and women

00:34:57.039 --> 00:34:58.119
 in this room

00:34:58.119 --> 00:34:59.039
 right now

00:34:59.039 --> 00:34:59.799
 that can attest

00:34:59.799 --> 00:35:01.239
 to God's deliverance.

00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:09.259
 I'm one of them.

00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:16.559
 When I was 13 years old

00:35:16.559 --> 00:35:17.420
 one of my friends

00:35:17.420 --> 00:35:18.359
 thought he would

00:35:18.359 --> 00:35:19.179
 do me a favor

00:35:19.179 --> 00:35:20.359
 and introduce me

00:35:20.359 --> 00:35:20.739
 to porn.

00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:24.259
 It was the greatest

00:35:24.259 --> 00:35:24.980
 disservice

00:35:24.980 --> 00:35:26.000
 that a friend

00:35:26.000 --> 00:35:26.739
 has ever

00:35:26.739 --> 00:35:27.539
 done to me.

00:35:27.539 --> 00:35:33.159
 I was hooked

00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:33.960
 immediately

00:35:33.960 --> 00:35:36.679
 and struggled

00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:37.820
 with sexual addiction

00:35:37.820 --> 00:35:38.500
 for a little over

00:35:38.500 --> 00:35:39.119
 a decade.

00:35:44.000 --> 00:35:45.360
 It felt at times

00:35:45.360 --> 00:35:46.139
 like a

00:35:46.139 --> 00:35:47.239
 hopeless struggle

00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:49.300
 but I am thankful

00:35:49.300 --> 00:35:49.900
 to report

00:35:49.900 --> 00:35:50.619
 that it has been

00:35:50.619 --> 00:35:51.480
 almost the same

00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:52.179
 number of years now

00:35:52.179 --> 00:35:52.860
 that I've been free

00:35:52.860 --> 00:35:53.719
 from sexual addiction.

00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:57.439
 God's grace.

00:36:00.379 --> 00:36:01.639
 I know

00:36:01.639 --> 00:36:03.739
 without a shadow

00:36:03.739 --> 00:36:04.259
 of doubt

00:36:04.259 --> 00:36:05.079
 that God

00:36:05.079 --> 00:36:05.899
 can do

00:36:05.899 --> 00:36:06.679
 the same

00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:07.259
 for you.

00:36:12.959 --> 00:36:13.919
 Here's some things

00:36:13.919 --> 00:36:14.659
 that God's taught me

00:36:14.659 --> 00:36:15.379
 about overcoming

00:36:15.379 --> 00:36:16.099
 sexual sin

00:36:16.099 --> 00:36:16.639
 from scripture

00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:17.219
 that have been

00:36:17.219 --> 00:36:17.779
 confirmed

00:36:17.779 --> 00:36:18.980
 my experience

00:36:18.980 --> 00:36:20.399
 over and over

00:36:20.399 --> 00:36:21.079
 again

00:36:21.079 --> 00:36:21.900
 and even

00:36:21.900 --> 00:36:22.340
 if this is

00:36:22.340 --> 00:36:22.900
 not one

00:36:22.900 --> 00:36:23.159
 of your

00:36:23.159 --> 00:36:23.699
 temptations

00:36:23.699 --> 00:36:24.039
 that you

00:36:24.039 --> 00:36:24.400
 regularly

00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:25.079
 deal with

00:36:25.079 --> 00:36:25.599
 I think

00:36:25.599 --> 00:36:25.980
 this will

00:36:25.980 --> 00:36:26.519
 be relevant

00:36:26.519 --> 00:36:27.059
 for you

00:36:27.059 --> 00:36:27.860
 because most

00:36:27.860 --> 00:36:28.099
 of it

00:36:28.099 --> 00:36:28.679
 is applicable

00:36:28.679 --> 00:36:29.139
 to fighting

00:36:29.139 --> 00:36:29.679
 any sin.

00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:32.519
 First

00:36:32.519 --> 00:36:34.179
 number one

00:36:34.179 --> 00:36:34.759
 cut off

00:36:34.759 --> 00:36:35.440
 temptations.

00:36:37.779 --> 00:36:38.559
 After teaching

00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:39.299
 us that lusting

00:36:39.299 --> 00:36:39.860
 after someone

00:36:39.860 --> 00:36:40.440
 is tantamount

00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:40.980
 to adultery

00:36:40.980 --> 00:36:41.480
 of the heart

00:36:41.480 --> 00:36:42.639
 Jesus continues

00:36:42.639 --> 00:36:43.360
 in Matthew 5

00:36:43.360 --> 00:36:44.519
 if your right eye

00:36:44.519 --> 00:36:45.400
 causes you to sin

00:36:45.400 --> 00:36:46.099
 gouge it out

00:36:46.099 --> 00:36:46.860
 and throw it away

00:36:46.860 --> 00:36:47.900
 for it is better

00:36:47.900 --> 00:36:48.480
 that you lose

00:36:48.480 --> 00:36:49.460
 one of your members

00:36:49.460 --> 00:36:50.539
 than your whole body

00:36:50.539 --> 00:36:50.960
 to be thrown

00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:51.420
 into hell

00:36:51.420 --> 00:36:52.659
 and if your right

00:36:52.659 --> 00:36:53.440
 hand causes you

00:36:53.440 --> 00:36:53.679
 to sin

00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:54.219
 cut it off

00:36:54.219 --> 00:36:54.860
 and throw it away

00:36:54.860 --> 00:36:55.300
 for it is better

00:36:55.300 --> 00:36:55.719
 for you to lose

00:36:55.719 --> 00:36:56.639
 one part of your body

00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:56.960
 than for you

00:36:56.960 --> 00:36:57.699
 to go into hell.

00:36:59.039 --> 00:37:00.099
 Jesus is not telling

00:37:00.099 --> 00:37:00.860
 us to mutilate

00:37:00.860 --> 00:37:01.519
 our flesh

00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:02.000
 literally

00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:03.440
 but he's using

00:37:03.440 --> 00:37:04.619
 figurative speech

00:37:04.619 --> 00:37:06.279
 to teach us

00:37:06.279 --> 00:37:07.440
 to take decisive

00:37:07.440 --> 00:37:08.800
 and radical action

00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:09.659
 to remove

00:37:09.659 --> 00:37:10.739
 things that cause

00:37:10.739 --> 00:37:11.219
 us to commit

00:37:11.219 --> 00:37:11.659
 adultery

00:37:11.659 --> 00:37:12.139
 in the heart.

00:37:14.699 --> 00:37:15.099
 Literally

00:37:15.099 --> 00:37:15.920
 gouging out your eye

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:16.679
 will not keep you

00:37:16.679 --> 00:37:17.259
 from lusting.

00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:18.679
 Let me give you

00:37:18.679 --> 00:37:19.219
 one example

00:37:19.219 --> 00:37:19.840
 the famous

00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:20.460
 20th century

00:37:20.460 --> 00:37:21.199
 soul musician

00:37:21.199 --> 00:37:22.079
 Ray Charles.

00:37:23.260 --> 00:37:24.019
 He was blind

00:37:24.019 --> 00:37:26.300
 but he openly

00:37:26.300 --> 00:37:27.360
 admitted his obsession

00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:27.860
 with women.

00:37:28.720 --> 00:37:29.300
 He was married

00:37:29.300 --> 00:37:29.800
 and divorced

00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:30.300
 twice

00:37:30.300 --> 00:37:31.519
 had many many

00:37:31.519 --> 00:37:31.960
 affairs

00:37:31.960 --> 00:37:32.960
 and fathered

00:37:32.960 --> 00:37:33.380
 a total of

00:37:33.380 --> 00:37:34.019
 12 children

00:37:34.019 --> 00:37:34.780
 with 10 different

00:37:34.780 --> 00:37:35.079
 women.

00:37:36.300 --> 00:37:36.920
 He was blind.

00:37:39.920 --> 00:37:40.820
 But what are

00:37:40.820 --> 00:37:41.559
 the sources

00:37:41.559 --> 00:37:42.039
 of temptation

00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:42.760
 in your life

00:37:42.760 --> 00:37:43.119
 that you can

00:37:43.119 --> 00:37:43.659
 get rid of?

00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:46.000
 If your smartphone

00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:47.159
 causes you to sin

00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:48.079
 get a dumb phone

00:37:48.079 --> 00:37:52.980
 get rid of your

00:37:52.980 --> 00:37:53.139
 internet

00:37:53.139 --> 00:37:54.019
 disconnect it.

00:37:54.619 --> 00:37:55.319
 People live

00:37:55.319 --> 00:37:55.819
 without internet

00:37:55.819 --> 00:37:56.480
 for thousands

00:37:56.480 --> 00:37:56.960
 of years

00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:57.859
 you can do it.

00:37:58.659 --> 00:37:59.239
 And if you really

00:37:59.239 --> 00:37:59.539
 need it

00:37:59.539 --> 00:38:00.139
 go to a public

00:38:00.139 --> 00:38:00.639
 library

00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:01.839
 or go to a school.

00:38:01.839 --> 00:38:01.899
 Go to a school.

00:38:01.899 --> 00:38:01.940
 Go to a school.

00:38:01.940 --> 00:38:07.840
 If your boyfriend

00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:08.460
 or girlfriend

00:38:08.460 --> 00:38:09.240
 is causing you

00:38:09.240 --> 00:38:09.639
 to sin

00:38:09.639 --> 00:38:10.760
 break up

00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:13.159
 no matter

00:38:13.159 --> 00:38:13.740
 how dear

00:38:13.740 --> 00:38:14.400
 that relationship

00:38:14.400 --> 00:38:15.039
 is to you.

00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:18.159
 If there's

00:38:18.159 --> 00:38:18.599
 a flirty

00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:19.240
 co-worker

00:38:19.240 --> 00:38:20.059
 that is tempting

00:38:20.059 --> 00:38:20.440
 you

00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:21.380
 ask to be

00:38:21.380 --> 00:38:21.740
 moved to

00:38:21.740 --> 00:38:22.139
 a different

00:38:22.139 --> 00:38:22.639
 department

00:38:22.639 --> 00:38:23.280
 or team

00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:24.780
 or just quit

00:38:24.780 --> 00:38:25.860
 and get a

00:38:25.860 --> 00:38:26.579
 different job

00:38:26.579 --> 00:38:30.920
 well but that's

00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:31.880
 really inconvenient

00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:32.360
 Sean

00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:34.579
 of course

00:38:34.579 --> 00:38:35.420
 it's inconvenient

00:38:35.420 --> 00:38:36.539
 you think

00:38:36.539 --> 00:38:37.000
 getting rid

00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:37.440
 of a limb

00:38:37.440 --> 00:38:38.039
 is convenient

00:38:38.039 --> 00:38:44.779
 that's exactly

00:38:44.779 --> 00:38:45.219
 the point

00:38:45.219 --> 00:38:45.639
 that Jesus

00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:46.239
 is making

00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:48.019
 stop sheepishly

00:38:48.019 --> 00:38:48.819
 apologizing

00:38:48.819 --> 00:38:49.179
 to your

00:38:51.539 --> 00:38:52.239
 while taking

 no decisive

00:38:54.500 --> 00:38:59.780
 do something

00:38:59.780 --> 00:39:00.139
 about it

00:39:00.139 --> 00:39:00.519

 not

00:39:05.900 --> 00:39:06.320
 responding

 to

00:39:06.500 --> 00:39:07.139
 antibiotics

00:39:07.139 --> 00:39:07.840
 we

00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:08.179
 would

00:39:08.179 --> 00:39:08.519
 not

 our

00:39:10.179 --> 00:39:10.619

00:39:10.619 --> 00:39:11.639
 amputated

00:39:11.639 --> 00:39:13.219
 so that

00:39:13.219 --> 00:39:13.440
 we can

00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:13.960
 survive

00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:18.280
 but when

00:39:18.280 --> 00:39:18.900
 eternal

00:39:18.900 --> 00:39:19.360
 life

00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:20.099
 stake

00:39:20.099 --> 00:39:20.920
 when we

00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:21.360
 refuse

00:39:21.360 --> 00:39:22.059
 to remove

 the things

00:39:22.619 --> 00:39:23.139
 that cause

00:39:23.139 --> 00:39:23.440
 us to

00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:23.719
 sin

00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:30.000
 in the

00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:30.419
 same way

00:39:30.419 --> 00:39:30.679
 that it

00:39:30.679 --> 00:39:30.959
 happens

00:39:30.959 --> 00:39:31.379
 with all

00:39:31.379 --> 00:39:31.659
 kinds

00:39:31.659 --> 00:39:31.759
 of

00:39:32.059 --> 00:39:32.459
 sexual

00:39:32.459 --> 00:39:32.799
 addiction

00:39:32.799 --> 00:39:33.139
 will

00:39:33.139 --> 00:39:33.599
 increase

00:39:33.599 --> 00:39:33.799
 your

00:39:33.799 --> 00:39:34.179
 body's

00:39:34.179 --> 00:39:34.579
 tolerance

00:39:34.579 --> 00:39:34.799
 for

00:39:34.799 --> 00:39:35.099
 sexual

00:39:35.099 --> 00:39:35.459
 sin

00:39:35.459 --> 00:39:37.419
 you'll

00:39:37.419 --> 00:39:37.599
 have

00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:37.739
 to

00:39:37.739 --> 00:39:38.299
 descend

00:39:38.299 --> 00:39:38.839
 lower

00:39:40.799 --> 00:39:41.139

00:39:41.139 --> 00:39:41.419
 so

00:39:41.419 --> 00:39:41.599
 that

00:39:41.599 --> 00:39:41.919
 sins

00:39:41.919 --> 00:39:42.279
 and you'll

00:39:42.279 --> 00:39:42.379
 have

00:39:42.379 --> 00:39:42.599
 to do

00:39:42.599 --> 00:39:42.759
 it

00:39:42.759 --> 00:39:43.179
 more

 more

00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:44.739
 frequently

00:39:44.739 --> 00:39:45.139
 to get

00:39:45.139 --> 00:39:45.719
 the same

00:39:49.579 --> 00:39:50.699
 ultimately

00:39:50.699 --> 00:39:51.480
 lead you

00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:07.119
 vision

00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:08.039
 remember

00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:08.360
 when

00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:08.699
 Peter

00:43:08.699 --> 00:43:09.139
 insisted

 wasn't

 deny

00:43:10.019 --> 00:43:10.460
 Jesus

00:43:10.460 --> 00:43:11.159
 and

00:43:11.159 --> 00:43:11.260
 then

00:43:11.260 --> 00:43:11.380
 he

00:43:11.380 --> 00:43:11.539
 ends

00:43:11.539 --> 00:43:11.659

 denying

00:43:11.960 --> 00:43:12.360
 Jesus

00:43:12.360 --> 00:43:12.740
 three

00:43:12.740 --> 00:43:13.260

 third

00:43:14.380 --> 00:43:14.740
 time

00:43:14.740 --> 00:43:15.000
 while

00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:15.240
 he's

00:43:15.240 --> 00:43:15.320
 in

00:43:15.320 --> 00:43:15.500
 the

00:43:15.500 --> 00:43:15.760
 middle

00:43:15.760 --> 00:43:16.019

00:43:16.720 --> 00:43:16.980
 he

00:43:16.980 --> 00:43:17.280
 says

00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:17.480
 in

 Luke

00:43:17.760 --> 00:43:18.220

00:43:18.800 --> 00:43:19.380

 looked

00:43:20.139 --> 00:43:20.619
 at

00:43:20.619 --> 00:43:21.260
 Peter

00:43:21.260 --> 00:43:22.659

00:43:22.659 --> 00:43:22.960
 Peter

00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:23.199
 went

00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:23.420
 out

00:43:23.420 --> 00:43:23.579
 and

00:43:23.579 --> 00:43:23.799
 wept

00:43:23.799 --> 00:43:24.319
 bitterly

00:43:24.319 --> 00:43:26.119
 when

00:48:18.440 --> 00:48:19.420
 love

00:48:19.420 --> 00:48:20.359
 that's

00:48:20.359 --> 00:48:20.519
 what

00:48:20.519 --> 00:48:20.659
 we

00:48:20.659 --> 00:48:20.819
 have

00:48:20.819 --> 00:48:20.940
 to

00:48:20.940 --> 00:48:21.039
 look

00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:21.279
 forward

00:48:21.279 --> 00:48:21.539
 to

00:48:21.539 --> 00:48:22.759
 that's

00:48:22.759 --> 00:48:22.960
 why

00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:23.139
 we

00:48:23.139 --> 00:48:23.379
 fight

00:48:23.379 --> 00:48:23.619
 now

00:48:23.619 --> 00:48:24.079
 that's

00:48:24.079 --> 00:48:24.299
 why

00:48:24.299 --> 00:48:24.500
 we

00:48:24.500 --> 00:48:25.039
 persevere

00:48:25.039 --> 00:48:30.099
 when

00:48:30.099 --> 00:48:30.619
 I was

00:48:30.619 --> 00:48:30.879
 addicted

00:48:30.879 --> 00:48:31.119
 to

00:48:31.119 --> 00:48:31.319
 porn

00:48:31.319 --> 00:48:31.480
 I

00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:31.759
 noticed

00:48:31.759 --> 00:48:31.940
 that

00:48:31.940 --> 00:48:32.099
 my

00:48:32.099 --> 00:48:32.519
 behavior

00:48:32.519 --> 00:48:32.839
 often

00:48:32.839 --> 00:48:33.159
 felt

00:48:33.159 --> 00:48:33.719
 compulsive

00:48:33.719 --> 00:48:35.119
 I

00:48:35.119 --> 00:48:35.259
 had

00:48:35.259 --> 00:48:35.500
 all

00:48:35.500 --> 00:48:35.699
 my

00:48:35.699 --> 00:48:36.099
 devices

00:48:36.099 --> 00:48:36.359
 on

00:48:36.359 --> 00:48:36.739
 lockdown

00:48:36.739 --> 00:48:37.039
 so

00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:37.219
 I

00:48:37.219 --> 00:48:37.599
 essentially

00:48:37.599 --> 00:48:37.879
 had

00:48:37.879 --> 00:48:38.119
 no

00:48:38.119 --> 00:48:38.719
 opportunity

00:48:38.719 --> 00:48:38.980
 to

00:48:38.980 --> 00:48:39.199
 sin

00:48:39.199 --> 00:48:41.899
 so

00:48:41.899 --> 00:48:42.000
 it

00:48:42.000 --> 00:48:42.119
 was

00:48:42.119 --> 00:48:42.339
 almost

00:48:42.339 --> 00:48:42.579
 like

00:48:42.579 --> 00:48:42.699
 I

00:48:42.699 --> 00:48:42.960
 had

00:48:42.960 --> 00:48:43.199
 you

00:48:43.199 --> 00:48:43.299
 know

00:48:43.299 --> 00:48:43.500
 but

00:48:43.500 --> 00:48:43.639
 so

00:48:43.639 --> 00:48:43.880
 whenever

00:48:43.880 --> 00:48:44.139
 there

00:48:44.139 --> 00:48:44.299
 was

00:48:44.299 --> 00:48:44.460
 a

00:48:44.460 --> 00:48:44.840
 crack

00:48:44.840 --> 00:48:45.000
 in

00:48:45.000 --> 00:48:45.119
 the

00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:45.340
 armor

00:48:45.340 --> 00:48:46.679
 like

00:48:46.679 --> 00:48:47.440
 I'm

00:48:47.440 --> 00:48:47.779
 traveling

00:48:47.779 --> 00:48:47.960
 for

00:48:47.960 --> 00:48:48.239
 example

00:48:48.239 --> 00:48:48.400
 and

00:48:48.400 --> 00:48:48.579
 there's

00:48:48.579 --> 00:48:48.739
 a

00:48:48.739 --> 00:48:49.199
 device

00:48:49.199 --> 00:48:49.420
 that

00:48:49.420 --> 00:48:49.619
 doesn't

00:48:49.619 --> 00:48:49.819
 have

00:48:49.819 --> 00:48:49.920
 an

00:48:49.920 --> 00:48:50.099
 internet

00:48:50.099 --> 00:48:50.360
 filter

00:48:50.360 --> 00:48:50.639
 on

00:48:50.639 --> 00:48:51.420
 it

00:48:51.420 --> 00:48:51.779
 almost

00:48:51.779 --> 00:48:52.000
 felt

00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:52.179
 like

00:48:52.179 --> 00:48:52.299
 I

00:48:52.299 --> 00:48:52.500
 had

00:48:52.500 --> 00:48:52.860
 no

00:48:52.860 --> 00:48:53.380
 willpower

00:48:53.380 --> 00:48:53.559
 at

00:48:53.559 --> 00:48:53.779
 all

00:48:53.779 --> 00:48:54.699
 just

00:48:54.699 --> 00:48:55.500
 compulsive

00:48:55.500 --> 00:48:56.599
 sin

00:48:56.599 --> 00:49:03.000
 I

00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:03.159
 was

00:49:03.159 --> 00:49:03.380
 not

00:49:03.380 --> 00:49:04.079
 abstaining

00:49:04.079 --> 00:49:04.360
 from

00:49:04.360 --> 00:49:04.719
 sexual

00:49:04.719 --> 00:49:05.259
 immorality

00:49:05.259 --> 00:49:06.079
 but

00:49:06.079 --> 00:49:06.340
 being

00:49:06.340 --> 00:49:06.940
 prevented

00:49:06.940 --> 00:49:07.460
 from

00:49:07.460 --> 00:49:07.920
 sexual

00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:08.440
 immorality

00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:10.679
 I

00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:10.819
 was

00:49:10.819 --> 00:49:11.019
 being

00:49:11.019 --> 00:49:11.539
 controlled

00:49:11.539 --> 00:49:11.860
 by

00:49:11.860 --> 00:49:12.259
 internet

00:49:12.259 --> 00:49:12.800
 filters

00:49:12.800 --> 00:49:13.279
 but

00:49:13.279 --> 00:49:13.440
 I

00:49:13.440 --> 00:49:13.639
 had

00:49:13.639 --> 00:49:14.000
 no

00:49:14.000 --> 00:49:14.659
 self

00:49:14.659 --> 00:49:15.440
 control

00:49:15.440 --> 00:49:18.579
 so

00:49:18.579 --> 00:49:18.840
 I

00:49:18.840 --> 00:49:19.000
 did

00:49:19.000 --> 00:49:19.300
 something

00:49:19.300 --> 00:49:20.039
 counterintuitive

00:49:20.039 --> 00:49:20.480
 and got

00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:20.960
 rid of my

00:49:20.960 --> 00:49:21.199
 internet

00:49:21.199 --> 00:49:21.599
 filters

00:49:21.599 --> 00:49:22.019
 one day

00:49:22.019 --> 00:49:23.659
 and told

00:49:23.659 --> 00:49:24.500
 my

00:49:24.500 --> 00:49:25.159
 accountability

00:49:25.159 --> 00:49:26.099
 partners about it

00:49:26.099 --> 00:49:26.440
 people were

00:49:26.440 --> 00:49:27.139
 closest to me

00:49:27.139 --> 00:49:28.599
 and this

00:49:28.599 --> 00:49:29.239
 helped me to

00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:29.559
 build

00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:29.960
 self

00:49:29.960 --> 00:49:30.360
 control

00:49:30.360 --> 00:49:33.199
 to build

00:49:33.199 --> 00:49:33.880
 new habits

00:49:33.880 --> 00:49:34.480
 of choosing

00:49:34.480 --> 00:49:35.079
 obedience

00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:36.119
 saying no

00:49:36.119 --> 00:49:36.639
 to sin

00:49:36.639 --> 00:49:37.179
 rather than

00:49:37.179 --> 00:49:37.599
 just being

00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:37.980
 unable

00:49:37.980 --> 00:49:38.420
 to sin

00:49:38.420 --> 00:49:45.139
 I'm not

00:49:45.139 --> 00:49:45.460
 saying that

00:49:45.460 --> 00:49:45.699
 you should

00:49:45.699 --> 00:49:46.059
 get rid

00:49:46.059 --> 00:49:46.280
 of

00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:46.619
 internet

00:49:46.619 --> 00:49:47.039
 filters

00:49:47.039 --> 00:49:48.219
 you should

00:49:48.219 --> 00:49:48.440
 probably

00:49:48.440 --> 00:49:48.719
 start

00:49:48.719 --> 00:49:49.159
 with them

00:49:49.159 --> 00:49:51.159
 but if

00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:51.380
 you're

00:49:51.380 --> 00:49:51.760
 never

00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:52.340
 actually

00:49:52.340 --> 00:49:53.099
 exercising

00:49:53.099 --> 00:49:53.400
 self

00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:53.860
 control

00:49:53.860 --> 00:49:54.719
 but merely

00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:55.000
 being

00:49:55.000 --> 00:49:55.460
 prevented

00:49:55.460 --> 00:49:56.159
 from sin

00:49:56.159 --> 00:49:56.860
 that's

00:49:56.860 --> 00:49:57.240
 not going

00:49:57.240 --> 00:49:57.539
 to be

00:49:57.539 --> 00:49:57.880
 a long

00:49:58.039 --> 00:49:58.440
 solution

00:49:58.440 --> 00:49:58.940

 trouble with

00:50:06.740 --> 00:50:07.260
 C's again

00:50:07.260 --> 00:50:09.160

00:50:09.579 --> 00:50:10.220
 verbs

00:50:10.220 --> 00:50:11.320
 I'm using

00:50:11.320 --> 00:50:11.680
 the word

00:50:11.680 --> 00:50:11.960

00:50:11.960 --> 00:50:12.559
 original sense

00:50:12.559 --> 00:50:13.140
 to join

00:50:13.140 --> 00:50:13.599
 together

00:50:13.599 --> 00:50:13.920
 in a

00:50:14.260 --> 00:50:15.079

00:50:20.519 --> 00:50:20.880

00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:21.140
 that it

00:50:21.140 --> 00:50:21.500
 is good

00:50:21.500 --> 00:50:21.780
 for them

00:50:21.780 --> 00:50:22.220

00:50:25.940 --> 00:50:26.160
 they

00:50:26.620 --> 00:50:27.200
 marry

00:50:27.200 --> 00:50:27.920
 for it

00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:28.360
 is better

00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:28.820
 to marry

00:50:28.820 --> 00:50:29.140
 than to

00:50:29.900 --> 00:50:31.340
 this

00:50:31.340 --> 00:50:31.599
 is a

00:55:27.039 --> 00:55:27.599
 all done

00:55:27.599 --> 00:55:27.940
 that

00:55:27.940 --> 00:55:29.019
 and that's

00:55:29.019 --> 00:55:29.259
 why

00:55:29.259 --> 00:55:29.639
 Jesus

00:55:29.639 --> 00:55:30.179
 came

00:55:30.179 --> 00:55:31.299
 and that's

00:55:31.299 --> 00:55:31.579
 why

00:55:31.579 --> 00:55:31.940
 Jesus

00:55:31.940 --> 00:55:32.420
 went to

00:55:32.420 --> 00:55:33.079
 the cross

00:55:33.079 --> 00:55:34.940
 because

00:55:34.940 --> 00:55:35.480
 he knew

00:55:35.480 --> 00:55:35.940
 we needed

00:55:35.940 --> 00:55:36.400
 to die

00:55:36.400 --> 00:55:36.880
 he knew

00:55:36.880 --> 00:55:37.199
 that's

00:55:37.199 --> 00:55:37.440
 what we

00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:37.719
 deserve

00:55:37.719 --> 00:55:38.000
 but he

00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:38.239
 said

00:55:38.239 --> 00:55:38.579
 no

00:55:38.579 --> 00:55:39.860
 I want

00:55:39.860 --> 00:55:40.480
 my bride

00:55:40.480 --> 00:55:41.119
 for myself

00:55:41.119 --> 00:55:41.799
 I want

00:55:41.799 --> 00:55:42.360
 to save

00:55:42.360 --> 00:55:42.980
 and redeem

00:55:42.980 --> 00:55:43.539
 my bride

00:55:43.539 --> 00:55:44.159
 for myself

00:55:44.159 --> 00:55:45.039
 so I

00:55:45.039 --> 00:55:45.719
 will die

00:55:45.719 --> 00:55:47.299
 the death

00:55:47.299 --> 00:55:47.539
 of an

00:55:47.539 --> 00:55:48.440
 adulterer

00:55:48.440 --> 00:55:52.199
 that she

00:55:52.199 --> 00:55:52.880
 might live

00:55:52.880 --> 00:56:09.900
 this is

00:56:09.900 --> 00:56:10.300
 the key

00:56:10.300 --> 00:56:13.160
 the gospel

00:56:13.160 --> 00:56:14.340
 clinging

00:56:14.340 --> 00:56:14.880
 to Christ

00:56:14.880 --> 00:56:15.660
 this is

00:56:15.660 --> 00:56:16.079
 the key

00:56:16.079 --> 00:56:17.180
 to holiness

00:56:17.180 --> 00:56:17.640
 in this

00:56:17.640 --> 00:56:21.280
 if you

00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:21.920
 keep trying

00:56:21.920 --> 00:56:22.579
 to justify

00:56:22.579 --> 00:56:23.219
 yourself

00:56:23.219 --> 00:56:25.880
 trying to

00:56:25.880 --> 00:56:26.699
 make yourself

00:56:26.699 --> 00:56:27.340
 right before

00:56:27.340 --> 00:56:27.719
 God

00:56:27.719 --> 00:56:28.779
 to get a

00:56:28.779 --> 00:56:29.099
 little

00:56:29.099 --> 00:56:29.679
 holier

00:56:29.679 --> 00:56:32.480
 you're just

00:56:32.480 --> 00:56:32.920
 trying to

00:56:32.920 --> 00:56:33.559
 put this

00:56:33.559 --> 00:56:35.000
 dirty

00:56:35.000 --> 00:56:36.279
 tattered

00:56:36.279 --> 00:56:37.019
 rag of

00:56:37.019 --> 00:56:37.699
 your own

00:56:37.699 --> 00:56:38.139
 righteousness

00:56:38.139 --> 00:56:40.039
 to cover

00:56:40.039 --> 00:56:40.719
 your shame

00:56:40.719 --> 00:56:41.139
 and you

00:56:41.139 --> 00:56:41.539
 cannot

00:56:41.539 --> 00:56:42.059
 cover it

00:56:42.059 --> 00:56:42.559
 it only

00:56:42.559 --> 00:56:43.619
 makes you

00:56:43.619 --> 00:56:44.219
 look more

00:56:44.219 --> 00:56:45.599
 pitiful

00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:49.039
 your righteousness

00:56:49.039 --> 00:56:49.980
 will never

00:56:49.980 --> 00:56:51.019
 be adequate

00:56:51.019 --> 00:56:54.219
 the key

00:56:54.219 --> 00:56:54.900
 is to go

00:56:54.900 --> 00:56:55.599
 to Christ

00:56:55.599 --> 00:56:56.239
 alone

00:56:56.239 --> 00:56:57.719
 Jesus

00:56:57.719 --> 00:56:58.800
 I have

00:56:58.800 --> 00:56:59.480
 nothing

00:56:59.480 --> 00:57:03.559
 naked I

00:57:03.559 --> 00:57:04.259
 come to

00:57:04.259 --> 00:57:04.719
 thee

00:57:04.719 --> 00:57:06.460
 for clothes

00:57:06.460 --> 00:57:08.920
 clothe me

00:57:08.920 --> 00:57:09.820
 with your

00:57:09.820 --> 00:57:10.599
 own righteousness

00:57:10.599 --> 00:57:11.119
 Jesus

00:57:11.119 --> 00:57:14.019
 so that

00:57:14.019 --> 00:57:14.840
 that can be

00:57:14.840 --> 00:57:15.619
 my confidence

00:57:15.619 --> 00:57:17.940
 in my

00:57:17.940 --> 00:57:18.380
 relationship

00:57:18.380 --> 00:57:18.859
 with you

00:57:18.859 --> 00:57:21.359
 that's

00:57:21.359 --> 00:57:22.000
 the only

00:57:22.000 --> 00:57:23.159
 key

00:57:23.159 --> 00:57:32.179
 I pray

00:57:32.179 --> 00:57:32.519
 this is

00:57:32.519 --> 00:57:33.219
 the start

00:57:33.219 --> 00:57:33.739
 of a new

00:57:33.739 --> 00:57:34.319
 season

00:57:34.319 --> 00:57:34.579
 in your

00:57:34.579 --> 00:57:34.880
 life

00:57:34.880 --> 00:57:35.299
 if you've

00:57:35.299 --> 00:57:35.719
 been struggling

00:57:35.719 --> 00:57:36.359
 with sexual

00:57:36.359 --> 00:57:36.940
 sin for a

00:57:36.940 --> 00:57:37.159
 while

00:57:37.159 --> 00:57:41.960
 our

00:57:41.960 --> 00:57:43.279
 bridegroom

00:57:43.279 --> 00:57:44.739
 is waiting

00:57:44.739 --> 00:57:45.299
 for us

00:57:45.299 --> 00:57:47.279
 for a

00:57:47.279 --> 00:57:47.639
 holy

00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:48.460
 bride

00:57:48.460 --> 00:57:49.179
 set apart

00:57:49.179 --> 00:57:49.559
 for him

00:57:49.559 --> 00:57:51.000
 let's pray

00:57:51.000 --> 00:58:06.139
 God

00:58:06.139 --> 00:58:10.559
 what can

00:58:10.559 --> 00:58:11.139
 we say

00:58:11.139 --> 00:58:14.000
 about your

00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:14.380
 mercy

00:58:14.380 --> 00:58:18.099
 we cannot

00:58:18.099 --> 00:58:18.679
 help but

00:58:18.679 --> 00:58:19.019
 sing

00:58:19.019 --> 00:58:21.699
 we cannot

00:58:21.699 --> 00:58:24.239
 help but

00:58:24.239 --> 00:58:25.320
 extol your

00:58:25.320 --> 00:58:25.800
 grace

00:58:25.800 --> 00:58:29.420

 help but

00:58:30.000 --> 00:58:30.759

 be declared
