00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.140
 Chapter 2, beginning in verse 1.

00:00:03.500 --> 00:00:04.919
 I said in my heart,

00:00:05.919 --> 00:00:08.599
 Come now, I will test you with pleasure.

00:00:09.019 --> 00:00:09.880
! Enjoy yourself.

00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:13.859
 But behold, this also was vanity.

00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:16.760
 I said of laughter it is mad,

00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.160
 and of pleasure what use is it?

00:00:19.780 --> 00:00:22.640
 I searched my heart how to cheer my body with wine,

00:00:23.039 --> 00:00:25.060
 my heart still guiding me with wisdom,

00:00:25.060 --> 00:00:26.940
 and how to lay hold on folly

00:00:26.940 --> 00:00:29.199
 till I might see what was good for the children of man

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:32.240
 to do under heaven during the few days of their life.

00:00:32.920 --> 00:00:34.100
 I made great works.

00:00:34.659 --> 00:00:37.259
 I built houses and planted vineyards for myself.

00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:39.619
 I made myself gardens and parks

00:00:39.619 --> 00:00:42.140
 and planted in them all kinds of fruit trees.

00:00:42.679 --> 00:00:44.939
 I made myself pools from which to water

00:00:44.939 --> 00:00:46.659
 the forest of growing trees.

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:49.579
 I bought male and female slaves

00:00:49.579 --> 00:00:51.500
 and had slaves who were born in my house.

00:00:51.500 --> 00:00:55.120
 I had also great possessions of herds and flocks

00:00:55.120 --> 00:00:58.399
 more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem.

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:01.759
 I also gathered for myself silver and gold

00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:03.640
 and the treasure of kings and provinces.

00:01:04.179 --> 00:01:06.579
 I got singers, both men and women,

00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:10.159
 and many concubines the delight of the sons of man.

00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:12.959
 So I became great and surpassed

00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:14.480
 all who were before me in Jerusalem.

00:01:15.219 --> 00:01:17.299
 Also my wisdom remained with me.

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:19.120
 And whatever my eyes desired,

00:01:19.180 --> 00:01:20.439
 I did not keep from them.

00:01:20.780 --> 00:01:22.859
 I kept my heart from no pleasure,

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:25.879
 for my heart found pleasure in all my toil,

00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.679
 and this was my reward for all my toil.

00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.719
 Then I considered all that my hands had done

00:01:31.719 --> 00:01:33.839
 and the toil I had expended in doing it.

00:01:33.939 --> 00:01:36.079
 And behold, all was vanity

00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.340
 and a striving after wind,

00:01:38.479 --> 00:01:42.060
 and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.

00:01:42.060 --> 00:01:44.700
 This is God's Word to us.

00:01:45.420 --> 00:01:48.840
 It was written for His glory and for our good.

00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.280
 And we would all do well to listen to it

00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:53.180
 in order to believe its promises

00:01:53.180 --> 00:01:56.100
 and obey its commands.

00:01:57.060 --> 00:01:59.099
 Now this morning our focus is going to be

00:01:59.099 --> 00:02:01.400
 just on verse 3.

00:02:01.620 --> 00:02:04.000
 And we'll probably speed to the end of verse 11

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:04.960
 in the coming weeks,

00:02:05.099 --> 00:02:07.620
 but this morning I want to look at verse 3.

00:02:07.740 --> 00:02:09.420
 And let me read just that verse to you again.

00:02:09.419 --> 00:02:11.339
 I searched with my heart

00:02:11.339 --> 00:02:13.479
 how to cheer my body with wine,

00:02:13.959 --> 00:02:16.560
 my heart still guiding me with wisdom,

00:02:16.899 --> 00:02:21.179
 and how to lay hold on folly or silliness

00:02:21.179 --> 00:02:22.979
 till I might see what was good

00:02:22.979 --> 00:02:24.560
 for the children of man to do under heaven

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:26.939
 during the few days of their life.

00:02:27.579 --> 00:02:29.199
 Note first in the text

00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.079
 the brevity of life.

00:02:32.519 --> 00:02:34.619
 How very brief life is.

00:02:34.699 --> 00:02:36.339
 If you splice verse 3

00:02:36.339 --> 00:02:37.259
 and put it back together,

00:02:37.379 --> 00:02:37.799
 you could read,

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.180
 I searched with my heart

00:02:39.180 --> 00:02:41.400
 till I might see what was good

00:02:41.400 --> 00:02:42.980
 for the children of man to do under heaven

00:02:42.980 --> 00:02:46.719
 during the few days of their life.

00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:49.360
 James writes in James 4.14,

00:02:49.600 --> 00:02:50.780
 What is your life?

00:02:51.300 --> 00:02:53.180
 For you are a mist that appears

00:02:53.180 --> 00:02:54.300
 for a little time

00:02:54.300 --> 00:02:56.480
 and then vanishes.

00:02:57.560 --> 00:02:59.140
 If we don't understand

00:02:59.140 --> 00:03:01.840
 how very brief our lives are,

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.060
 we will not understand

00:03:04.060 --> 00:03:05.060
 how insignificant

00:03:05.060 --> 00:03:06.759
 what we can accomplish

00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:07.860
 under the sun

00:03:07.860 --> 00:03:09.900
 truly is.

00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:13.360
 Our perspective will be horribly inadequate

00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:14.620
 if we do not consider

00:03:14.620 --> 00:03:16.319
 the measure of our days

00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.020
 in the scope of eternity.

00:03:19.860 --> 00:03:22.379
 You are just a man.

00:03:22.939 --> 00:03:24.680
 You are just a woman.

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.240
 And your life here and now

00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:28.360
 is fleeting.

00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:29.340
 It's vanishing.

00:03:29.340 --> 00:03:31.599
 It's like a vapor in the wind.

00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:34.020
 It will go so rapidly

00:03:34.020 --> 00:03:36.980
 in comparison to eternity.

00:03:38.020 --> 00:03:40.800
 David in Psalm 39, 4-7

00:03:40.800 --> 00:03:42.000
 prays this,

00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:43.400
 O Lord,

00:03:43.980 --> 00:03:45.939
 make me know my end

00:03:45.939 --> 00:03:48.219
 and what is the measure of my days.

00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:52.000
 Let me know how fleeting I am.

00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:53.000
 His prayer is,

00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:54.060
 he cries out to God

00:03:54.060 --> 00:03:55.240
 that he would understand

00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:56.719
 that very thing.

00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.780
 How brief his life is.

00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:00.580
 Verse 5,

00:04:01.099 --> 00:04:02.400
 Behold, you have made my days

00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:04.120
 a few handbreadths

00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:05.020
 and my lifetime

00:04:05.020 --> 00:04:07.240
 is as nothing before you.

00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:08.800
 Surely all mankind

00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.460
 stands as a mere breath.

00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:13.180
 Surely a man goes about

00:04:13.180 --> 00:04:14.000
 as a shadow.

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:15.479
 Surely for nothing

00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:16.420
 they are in turmoil.

00:04:16.699 --> 00:04:18.019
 Man heaps up wealth

00:04:18.019 --> 00:04:19.439
 and does not know

00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:20.500
 who will gather.

00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:22.920
 And now, O Lord,

00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:25.220
 for what do I wait?

00:04:25.220 --> 00:04:26.380
 So here's the result

00:04:26.380 --> 00:04:27.740
 of him understanding

00:04:27.740 --> 00:04:29.760
 the brevity of his life.

00:04:30.400 --> 00:04:32.620
 My hope is in you.

00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:34.660
 As he looks at eternity,

00:04:34.900 --> 00:04:36.260
 as he steps back away

00:04:36.260 --> 00:04:37.640
 and he sees how very brief

00:04:37.640 --> 00:04:38.440
 his life is

00:04:38.440 --> 00:04:40.320
 and understands the scope

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:41.680
 of the rest of it,

00:04:41.760 --> 00:04:43.980
 the beyond under the sun,

00:04:44.640 --> 00:04:46.040
 he sees the weighty matter

00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:47.060
 that's before him

00:04:47.060 --> 00:04:47.800
 and he knows

00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.920
 that he must hope in God.

00:04:51.520 --> 00:04:52.440
 Remember the conclusion

00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:53.360
 of our preacher,

00:04:53.540 --> 00:04:55.500
 Ecclesiastes 12.13.

00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:57.040
 After he's weighed

00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:58.120
 all of this out

00:04:58.120 --> 00:04:59.759
 in all of the preceding chapters,

00:04:59.879 --> 00:05:00.219
 he says,

00:05:00.300 --> 00:05:01.240
 the end of the matter

00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.019
 all has been heard.

00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:04.459
 Fear God

00:05:04.459 --> 00:05:07.040
 and keep His commandments.

00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:09.939
 For this is the whole duty

00:05:09.939 --> 00:05:11.279
 of man.

00:05:12.779 --> 00:05:13.300
 Beloved,

00:05:13.339 --> 00:05:15.920
 we spend far too much time

00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:19.180
 acting as if this life

00:05:19.180 --> 00:05:21.580
 has great weight

00:05:21.580 --> 00:05:23.140
 in what we can accomplish

00:05:23.140 --> 00:05:24.720
 under the sun.

00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:27.020
 So many of us,

00:05:27.420 --> 00:05:28.259
 particularly those of you

00:05:28.259 --> 00:05:29.140
 who are young,

00:05:29.480 --> 00:05:31.720
 live as if you're invincible

00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.280
 and that what's happening here

00:05:34.280 --> 00:05:35.160
 and now

00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:36.060
 is of the greatest

00:05:36.060 --> 00:05:37.939
 and ultimate value.

00:05:38.379 --> 00:05:39.259
 And it's not.

00:05:39.259 --> 00:05:41.639
 We need to rightly have

00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:42.800
 our minds and hearts

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:44.779
 put in proper perspective.

00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:47.019
 Seeing that we serve

00:05:47.019 --> 00:05:48.019
 an eternal God

00:05:48.019 --> 00:05:50.339
 who has an eternal purpose

00:05:50.339 --> 00:05:51.339
 and plan

00:05:51.339 --> 00:05:52.439
 and we should live

00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:53.620
 for that

00:05:53.620 --> 00:05:55.019
 now.

00:05:56.819 --> 00:05:58.579
 So the beginning of verse 3

00:05:58.579 --> 00:06:00.699
 presents

00:06:00.699 --> 00:06:03.079
 a joy,

00:06:03.219 --> 00:06:04.539
 a self-indulgent pleasure,

00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:06.279
 a thing that the king

00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:07.319
 sought after,

00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:09.199
 trying to understand,

00:06:09.259 --> 00:06:10.259
 if this is a thing

00:06:10.259 --> 00:06:12.620
 worth finding value in,

00:06:12.759 --> 00:06:15.199
 worth finding gain in.

00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:16.019
 We know already

00:06:16.019 --> 00:06:17.139
 his conclusion,

00:06:18.019 --> 00:06:19.379
 but it's still right and proper

00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:20.300
 that we look at

00:06:20.300 --> 00:06:21.879
 the why.

00:06:22.180 --> 00:06:23.379
 Why does he still come

00:06:23.379 --> 00:06:25.000
 to that conclusion?

00:06:26.719 --> 00:06:27.000
 First,

00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:27.839
 the beginning of verse 3

00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.519
 presents some challenges

00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:30.779
 for us in interpretation.

00:06:31.139 --> 00:06:32.060
 It's structured

00:06:32.060 --> 00:06:33.439
 very interestingly.

00:06:34.519 --> 00:06:35.959
 We have to ask the question

00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:38.139
 and kind of waffle between

00:06:38.139 --> 00:06:40.000
 is the preacher

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:40.939
 talking about

00:06:40.939 --> 00:06:42.120
 partying

00:06:42.120 --> 00:06:44.240
 or is the preacher

00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:45.139
 talking about

00:06:45.139 --> 00:06:46.839
 appreciating.

00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:48.459
 He says,

00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:49.800
 I search with my heart

00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:53.120
 how to cheer my body

00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:54.360
 with wine.

00:06:55.219 --> 00:06:56.620
 But then we get this insertion,

00:06:56.699 --> 00:06:57.379
 my heart

00:06:57.379 --> 00:06:58.979
 still guiding me

00:06:58.979 --> 00:07:00.500
 with wisdom

00:07:00.500 --> 00:07:03.800
 and how to lay hold

00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:05.259
 on folly.

00:07:06.259 --> 00:07:06.860
 So it's interesting

00:07:06.860 --> 00:07:08.439
 and scholars,

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:09.199
 commentators,

00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:10.019
 kind of line up

00:07:10.019 --> 00:07:11.019
 in different places

00:07:11.019 --> 00:07:12.220
 on the text.

00:07:12.300 --> 00:07:13.439
 Is he talking about

00:07:13.439 --> 00:07:14.399
 inebriation

00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:16.000
 or is he talking about

00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:17.279
 sophistication?

00:07:17.819 --> 00:07:18.879
 Some suggest

00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:19.819
 that he's simply

00:07:19.819 --> 00:07:20.800
 partying

00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:21.899
 until he drops

00:07:21.899 --> 00:07:24.199
 and then he's

00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:25.399
 later assessing

00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:27.779
 the value of that.

00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:29.100
 His heart's still guiding him

00:07:29.100 --> 00:07:29.640
 with wisdom.

00:07:29.900 --> 00:07:31.360
 He goes through the experience,

00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:32.220
 he sees

00:07:32.220 --> 00:07:33.320
 what is the end

00:07:33.320 --> 00:07:34.040
 of this

00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:35.379
 temporal pleasure

00:07:35.379 --> 00:07:36.800
 and then he stops

00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:37.420
 and weighs it out

00:07:37.420 --> 00:07:37.920
 and considers

00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:39.120
 was this something

00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:40.120
 to be gained

00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:41.379
 under the sun

00:07:41.379 --> 00:07:42.740
 and then he does it again.

00:07:44.820 --> 00:07:45.820
 I can see why.

00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:46.980
 I can understand that.

00:07:47.060 --> 00:07:47.820
 I think there's probably

00:07:47.820 --> 00:07:48.780
 at least a part of that

00:07:48.780 --> 00:07:49.840
 happening here

00:07:49.840 --> 00:07:50.840
 for the preacher.

00:07:51.800 --> 00:07:52.879
 The reason I would say

00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:53.500
 is because beyond

00:07:53.500 --> 00:07:54.180
 that insertion

00:07:54.180 --> 00:07:54.540
 it says

00:07:54.540 --> 00:07:56.080
 in how to lay hold

00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:57.919
 on folly.

00:07:58.240 --> 00:07:58.359
 Right?

00:07:58.459 --> 00:07:59.639
 In the pursuit

00:07:59.639 --> 00:08:01.159
 of cheering his body

00:08:01.159 --> 00:08:01.879
 with wine

00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:03.719
 he also wants

00:08:03.719 --> 00:08:04.379
 to lay hold

00:08:04.379 --> 00:08:05.459
 on folly

00:08:05.459 --> 00:08:06.639
 or foolishness

00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:07.879
 or silliness

00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:10.019
 is the type

00:08:10.019 --> 00:08:10.639
 of partying

00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:11.319
 that comes

00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:12.659
 with inebriation

00:08:12.659 --> 00:08:14.259
 of value.

00:08:15.939 --> 00:08:17.099
 I also can see

00:08:17.099 --> 00:08:18.579
 the sophistication

00:08:18.579 --> 00:08:19.539
 argument.

00:08:20.599 --> 00:08:21.479
 This insertion,

00:08:21.539 --> 00:08:22.459
 my heart's still

00:08:22.459 --> 00:08:23.560
 guiding me

00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:25.219
 with wisdom.

00:08:26.039 --> 00:08:26.500
 That he

00:08:26.500 --> 00:08:29.419
 was appreciating

00:08:29.419 --> 00:08:32.179
 the brewing process

00:08:32.179 --> 00:08:33.279
 and what could be

00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:34.179
 produced from it.

00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:34.639
 That he was

00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:35.579
 sampling

00:08:35.579 --> 00:08:36.980
 the various

00:08:36.980 --> 00:08:37.840
 notes

00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.039
 and flavor

00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:39.960
 that could be found

00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:40.980
 in wine.

00:08:41.059 --> 00:08:41.699
 That he was becoming

00:08:41.699 --> 00:08:42.740
 a connoisseur

00:08:42.740 --> 00:08:43.779
 of this thing.

00:08:43.860 --> 00:08:44.579
 That he was pursuing

00:08:44.579 --> 00:08:46.379
 it as a hobby.

00:08:48.379 --> 00:08:49.299
 And I think

00:08:49.299 --> 00:08:50.340
 probably both

00:08:50.340 --> 00:08:51.360
 are true.

00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.639
 Ecclesiastes 1.13

00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:55.560
 read it to you

00:08:55.560 --> 00:08:56.420
 just a moment ago

00:08:56.420 --> 00:08:56.740
 says,

00:08:56.840 --> 00:08:57.620
 And I applied my heart

00:08:57.620 --> 00:08:58.120
 to seek

00:08:58.120 --> 00:08:58.879
 and to search out

00:08:58.879 --> 00:08:59.460
 by wisdom

00:08:59.460 --> 00:09:00.920
 all that is done

00:09:00.920 --> 00:09:02.519
 under heaven.

00:09:03.500 --> 00:09:04.160
 And so I think

00:09:04.160 --> 00:09:04.800
 he explores

00:09:04.800 --> 00:09:05.840
 both sides

00:09:05.840 --> 00:09:06.540
 of what

00:09:06.540 --> 00:09:07.980
 wine has

00:09:07.980 --> 00:09:08.680
 to offer

00:09:08.680 --> 00:09:09.759
 humanity.

00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:11.160
 And so we'll

00:09:11.160 --> 00:09:11.560
 look at it

00:09:11.560 --> 00:09:12.080
 in that way

00:09:12.080 --> 00:09:13.420
 in those two ways.

00:09:13.540 --> 00:09:14.759
 The vanity

00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:16.379
 of inebriation

00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:17.860
 as well as

00:09:17.860 --> 00:09:18.680
 the vanity

00:09:18.680 --> 00:09:20.360
 of sophistication.

00:09:21.019 --> 00:09:21.600
 So the

00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:22.180
 vanity

00:09:22.180 --> 00:09:22.659
 of

00:09:22.659 --> 00:09:24.320
 inebriation.

00:09:25.100 --> 00:09:25.500
 I searched

00:09:25.500 --> 00:09:26.220
 with my heart

00:09:26.220 --> 00:09:27.220
 how to cheer

00:09:27.220 --> 00:09:27.740
 my body

00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:28.360
 with wine

00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:28.820
 and if you

00:09:28.820 --> 00:09:30.180
 delete the insertion

00:09:30.180 --> 00:09:31.060
 and how to

00:09:31.060 --> 00:09:32.300
 lay hold

00:09:32.300 --> 00:09:33.740
 on folly.

00:09:35.659 --> 00:09:35.960
 Now beloved,

00:09:36.060 --> 00:09:36.659
 the Bible gives

00:09:36.659 --> 00:09:38.720
 many strong

00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:39.420
 warnings

00:09:39.420 --> 00:09:40.720
 against the

00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:41.440
 foolishness

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:42.860
 of out of

00:09:42.860 --> 00:09:43.360
 proportion

00:09:43.360 --> 00:09:44.440
 drinking.

00:09:45.300 --> 00:09:46.019
 Listen to a few.

00:09:47.019 --> 00:09:48.100
 Proverbs 21

00:09:48.100 --> 00:09:49.659
 wine

00:09:49.659 --> 00:09:51.100
 is a mocker,

00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:53.040
 strong drink

00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:54.040
 a brawler

00:09:54.040 --> 00:09:54.720
 and whoever

00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:55.519
 is led astray

00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:56.000
 by it

00:09:56.000 --> 00:09:56.680
 is not

00:09:56.680 --> 00:09:58.120
 wise.

00:09:58.720 --> 00:09:59.720
 Isaiah 5

00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:00.180
 22

00:10:00.180 --> 00:10:01.420
 and I really

00:10:01.420 --> 00:10:02.200
 like this one.

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:04.040
 Isaiah says,

00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:05.019
 woe to those

00:10:05.019 --> 00:10:06.440
 who are heroes

00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:07.180
 at drinking

00:10:07.180 --> 00:10:07.800
 wine

00:10:07.800 --> 00:10:09.080
 and valiant

00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:09.620
 men

00:10:09.620 --> 00:10:10.360
 in mixing

00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:11.960
 strong drink.

00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:14.560
 Proverbs 23

00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:14.679
 23.

00:10:14.839 --> 00:10:15.199
 Turn here

00:10:15.199 --> 00:10:15.519
 with me

00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:15.859
 to verse

00:10:15.859 --> 00:10:16.479
 29.

00:10:27.139 --> 00:10:28.139
 Proverbs 23

00:10:28.139 --> 00:10:30.519
 29-35

00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:32.399
 who has

00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:32.960
 woe?

00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:34.120
 Who has

00:10:34.120 --> 00:10:34.679
 sorrow?

00:10:35.079 --> 00:10:35.720
 Who has

00:10:35.720 --> 00:10:36.419
 strife?

00:10:36.819 --> 00:10:37.279
 Who has

00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:37.919
 complaining?

00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:39.039
 Who has

00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:40.079
 wounds without

00:10:40.079 --> 00:10:40.740
 cause?

00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:42.139
 Who has

00:10:42.139 --> 00:10:42.799
 redness

00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:43.799
 of eyes?

00:10:43.879 --> 00:10:44.319
 And then here

00:10:44.319 --> 00:10:45.079
 verse 30

00:10:45.079 --> 00:10:45.720
 and on is the

00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:46.259
 answer to

00:10:46.259 --> 00:10:47.159
 those questions.

00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:49.059
 Those who

00:10:49.059 --> 00:10:50.039
 tarry long

00:10:50.039 --> 00:10:51.419
 over wine.

00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:52.620
 Those who

00:10:52.620 --> 00:10:53.639
 go to try

00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:54.699
 mixed wine.

00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:56.000
 Do not look

00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:56.419
 at wine

00:10:56.419 --> 00:10:56.819
 when it is

00:10:56.819 --> 00:10:57.120
 red,

00:10:57.179 --> 00:10:58.000
 when it sparkles

00:10:58.000 --> 00:10:58.600
 in the cup

00:10:58.600 --> 00:10:59.519
 and goes down

00:10:59.519 --> 00:11:00.159
 smoothly.

00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:01.539
 In the end

00:11:01.539 --> 00:11:02.199
 it bites

00:11:02.199 --> 00:11:03.039
 like a serpent

00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:03.939
 and stings

00:11:03.939 --> 00:11:04.519
 like an

00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:04.879
 adder.

00:11:05.419 --> 00:11:06.079
 Your eyes

00:11:06.079 --> 00:11:06.399
 will see

00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:07.399
 strange things

00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:08.039
 and your

00:11:08.039 --> 00:11:08.419
 heart

00:11:08.419 --> 00:11:08.759
 utter

00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:09.360
 perverse

00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:09.879
 things.

00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:10.659
 You will

00:11:10.659 --> 00:11:10.960
 be like

00:11:10.960 --> 00:11:11.399
 one who

00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:12.079
 lies down

00:11:12.079 --> 00:11:12.460
 in the

00:11:12.460 --> 00:11:12.740
 midst

00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:13.159
 of the

00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:13.480
 sea,

00:11:13.699 --> 00:11:14.360
 like one

00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:14.919
 who lies

00:11:14.919 --> 00:11:15.279
 on the

00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:15.679
 top

00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:16.299
 of a

00:11:16.299 --> 00:11:16.759
 mast.

00:11:17.139 --> 00:11:17.340
 They

00:11:17.340 --> 00:11:17.779
 struck

00:11:17.779 --> 00:11:18.079
 me,

00:11:18.439 --> 00:11:18.779
 you will

00:11:18.779 --> 00:11:19.199
 say,

00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:19.740
 but I

00:11:19.740 --> 00:11:20.079
 was not

00:11:20.079 --> 00:11:20.419
 hurt.

00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:21.100
 They

00:11:21.100 --> 00:11:21.840
 beat me,

00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:22.360
 but I

00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:23.100
 did not

00:11:23.100 --> 00:11:23.899
 feel it.

00:11:23.899 --> 00:11:24.679
 So there's

00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:25.460
 this abuse

00:11:25.460 --> 00:11:26.419
 happening to

00:11:26.419 --> 00:11:27.600
 the drinker,

00:11:27.860 --> 00:11:27.980
 right,

00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:28.460
 to the person

00:11:28.460 --> 00:11:29.319
 who's abusing

00:11:29.319 --> 00:11:30.240
 alcohol.

00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:31.100
 But their

00:11:31.100 --> 00:11:31.819
 logic is

00:11:31.819 --> 00:11:32.220
 perverted.

00:11:32.299 --> 00:11:32.579
 That's what

00:11:32.579 --> 00:11:32.980
 he's saying,

00:11:33.199 --> 00:11:33.379
 right?

00:11:33.379 --> 00:11:33.919
 They struck

00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:34.199
 me,

00:11:34.199 --> 00:11:34.759
 I wasn't

00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:35.159
 hurt.

00:11:35.699 --> 00:11:36.419
 They beat

00:11:36.419 --> 00:11:36.699
 me,

00:11:36.939 --> 00:11:37.220
 I didn't

00:11:37.220 --> 00:11:37.799
 feel it.

00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:38.799
 When shall

00:11:38.799 --> 00:11:39.340
 I awake?

00:11:39.460 --> 00:11:40.100
 I must

00:11:40.100 --> 00:11:40.939
 have another

00:11:40.939 --> 00:11:42.179
 drink.

00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:43.460
 There's this

00:11:43.460 --> 00:11:43.980
 unending

00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:45.019
 cycle of

00:11:45.019 --> 00:11:45.960
 sorrow for

00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:46.919
 those who

00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:48.159
 drown their

00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:49.179
 sorrow in

00:11:49.179 --> 00:11:49.559
 addiction.

00:11:50.379 --> 00:11:50.759
 And it's a

00:11:50.759 --> 00:11:51.360
 great problem.

00:11:52.220 --> 00:11:52.740
 The addict

00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:54.100
 medicates to

00:11:54.100 --> 00:11:55.120
 ease the

00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:56.199
 woes of

00:11:56.199 --> 00:11:56.659
 life.

00:11:56.659 --> 00:11:57.779
 But their

00:11:57.779 --> 00:11:58.319
 endless

00:11:58.319 --> 00:11:59.019
 medicating

00:11:59.019 --> 00:12:00.120
 heaps up

00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:00.639
 for them

00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:01.500
 more

00:12:01.500 --> 00:12:02.839
 woes.

00:12:03.500 --> 00:12:04.120
 Strong

00:12:04.120 --> 00:12:05.100
 drink and

00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:05.759
 the abuse

00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:06.980
 of it is

00:12:06.980 --> 00:12:07.480
 a great

00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:07.939
 danger.

00:12:08.500 --> 00:12:08.939
 A great

00:12:08.939 --> 00:12:09.199
 danger.

00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:09.639
 The Scripture

00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:10.439
 is clear on

00:12:10.439 --> 00:12:11.419
 this for

00:12:11.419 --> 00:12:11.839
 us.

00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:13.480
 Further,

00:12:14.740 --> 00:12:15.219
 Christian

00:12:15.219 --> 00:12:15.679
 people,

00:12:16.439 --> 00:12:17.120
 those who

00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:17.799
 profess to

00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:18.559
 follow Christ

00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:19.279
 are not

00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:20.199
 to be

00:12:20.199 --> 00:12:21.480
 drunkards.

00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:23.120
 1 Corinthians

00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.860
 5, 11-13,

00:12:25.220 --> 00:12:25.919
 Paul writes,

00:12:26.820 --> 00:12:27.259
 But now I

00:12:27.259 --> 00:12:27.639
 am writing

00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:29.019
 to you not

00:12:29.019 --> 00:12:30.080
 to associate

00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:31.200
 with anyone

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:31.840
 who bears

00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:32.539
 the name of

00:12:32.539 --> 00:12:34.259
 brother if

00:12:34.259 --> 00:12:34.759
 he is guilty

00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:35.299
 of sexual

00:12:35.299 --> 00:12:36.220
 morality or

00:12:36.220 --> 00:12:36.919
 greed or

00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:37.179
 is an

00:12:37.179 --> 00:12:37.820
 idolater,

00:12:38.120 --> 00:12:38.740
 reviler,

00:12:39.419 --> 00:12:40.039
 drunkard,

00:12:40.600 --> 00:12:41.419
 or swindler,

00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:42.960
 not even to

00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:43.659
 eat with

00:12:43.659 --> 00:12:44.480
 such a one.

00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:45.779
 For what

00:12:45.779 --> 00:12:46.220
 have I to

00:12:46.220 --> 00:12:46.519
 do with

00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:46.820
 judging

00:12:46.820 --> 00:12:47.379
 outsiders?

00:12:48.100 --> 00:12:48.600
 Is it not

00:12:48.600 --> 00:12:49.680
 those inside

00:12:49.680 --> 00:12:50.240
 the church

00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:50.759
 whom you

00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:51.680
 are to

00:12:51.680 --> 00:12:52.159
 judge?

00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:53.319
 God judges

00:12:53.319 --> 00:12:54.379
 those outside.

00:12:54.779 --> 00:12:55.779
 Purge the

00:12:55.779 --> 00:12:56.799
 evil person

00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:57.980
 from among

00:12:57.980 --> 00:12:58.299
 you.

00:12:59.100 --> 00:12:59.620
 And Paul is

00:12:59.620 --> 00:13:00.179
 not saying

00:13:00.179 --> 00:13:00.740
 that if we

00:13:00.740 --> 00:13:01.759
 fail at any

00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:02.620
 of these

00:13:02.620 --> 00:13:03.399
 points,

00:13:03.459 --> 00:13:04.000
 that if you

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:04.899
 know someone

00:13:04.899 --> 00:13:05.319
 who claims

00:13:05.319 --> 00:13:05.679
 to follow

00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:06.059
 Christ,

00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:06.500
 who at

00:13:06.500 --> 00:13:07.199
 one time

00:13:07.199 --> 00:13:08.319
 got drunk,

00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:08.620
 that you're

00:13:08.620 --> 00:13:08.799
 to have

00:13:08.799 --> 00:13:09.459
 nothing to

00:13:09.459 --> 00:13:09.759
 do with

00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:09.879
 them,

00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:10.139
 that the

00:13:10.139 --> 00:13:10.639
 church should

00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:11.259
 judge them,

00:13:11.299 --> 00:13:11.480
 that there

00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:11.740
 should be

00:13:11.740 --> 00:13:12.199
 discipline

00:13:12.199 --> 00:13:13.299
 placed upon

00:13:13.299 --> 00:13:13.459
 them.

00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:13.679
 But what

00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:14.139
 he's saying

00:13:14.139 --> 00:13:14.839
 is those

00:13:14.839 --> 00:13:15.100
 who are

00:13:15.100 --> 00:13:15.759
 unrepentant

00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:16.120
 in these

00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:16.500
 things,

00:13:16.819 --> 00:13:17.120
 those who

00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:17.539
 pick up

00:13:17.539 --> 00:13:18.159
 these things

00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:19.100
 as habits,

00:13:19.100 --> 00:13:19.819
 are giving

00:13:19.819 --> 00:13:21.339
 evidence that

00:13:21.339 --> 00:13:21.740
 they're not

00:13:21.740 --> 00:13:22.100
 found,

00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:23.059
 in Christ.

00:13:23.379 --> 00:13:23.779
 And it is

00:13:23.779 --> 00:13:24.219
 the job

00:13:24.219 --> 00:13:24.480
 of the

00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:24.939
 church to

00:13:24.939 --> 00:13:25.679
 not associate

00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:26.179
 with them

00:13:26.179 --> 00:13:26.860
 as the

00:13:26.860 --> 00:13:27.279
 church.

00:13:27.980 --> 00:13:28.740
 Not that we

00:13:28.740 --> 00:13:29.600
 don't love

00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:30.419
 and wrap our

00:13:30.419 --> 00:13:30.819
 arms around

00:13:30.819 --> 00:13:31.219
 those people,

00:13:31.319 --> 00:13:31.579
 but we

00:13:31.579 --> 00:13:33.019
 don't endorse

00:13:33.019 --> 00:13:33.759
 their sin

00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:34.740
 in so doing.

00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:35.740
 Christians are

00:13:35.740 --> 00:13:36.939
 not to be

00:13:36.939 --> 00:13:38.519
 drunkards.

00:13:39.819 --> 00:13:40.279
 So can the

00:13:40.279 --> 00:13:40.899
 Christian drink?

00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:42.980
 Are you

00:13:42.980 --> 00:13:43.579
 young people?

00:13:44.379 --> 00:13:44.819
 If you're

00:13:44.819 --> 00:13:45.459
 under 21,

00:13:45.719 --> 00:13:46.199
 no.

00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:49.759
 I cannot

00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:50.100
 tell you

00:13:50.100 --> 00:13:50.360
 how many

00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:50.820
 stupid

00:13:50.820 --> 00:13:51.320
 conversations

00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:51.600
 I've

00:13:51.600 --> 00:13:51.820
 been in

00:13:51.820 --> 00:13:51.940
 with

00:13:51.940 --> 00:13:52.100
 people

00:13:52.100 --> 00:13:52.300
 under

00:13:52.300 --> 00:13:52.620
 21

00:13:52.620 --> 00:13:52.920
 about

00:13:52.920 --> 00:13:53.280
 drinking.

00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:54.379
 No,

00:13:54.500 --> 00:13:54.660
 it's

00:13:54.660 --> 00:13:54.980
 illegal.

00:13:55.140 --> 00:13:55.240
 You

00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:55.560
 cannot.

00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:56.379
 If you

00:13:56.379 --> 00:13:56.800
 are 21

00:13:56.800 --> 00:13:57.340
 or older,

00:13:58.940 --> 00:13:59.240
 yes,

00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:00.920
 the answer

00:14:00.920 --> 00:14:01.300
 is yes.

00:14:01.340 --> 00:14:01.680
 I could get

00:14:01.680 --> 00:14:02.080
 myself in

00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:02.540
 all kinds

00:14:02.540 --> 00:14:02.920
 of trouble

00:14:02.920 --> 00:14:03.800
 as a

00:14:03.800 --> 00:14:03.960
 Southern

00:14:03.960 --> 00:14:04.220
 Baptist

00:14:04.220 --> 00:14:04.560
 preacher.

00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:06.100
 I'm saying

00:14:06.100 --> 00:14:06.360
 that,

00:14:06.500 --> 00:14:07.100
 but some

00:14:07.100 --> 00:14:07.620
 stances

00:14:07.620 --> 00:14:08.820
 made by

00:14:08.820 --> 00:14:09.500
 denominations

00:14:09.500 --> 00:14:10.080
 are wrong.

00:14:11.140 --> 00:14:12.060
 Some gray

00:14:12.060 --> 00:14:12.640
 areas,

00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:13.320
 people have

00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:13.820
 tried to make

00:14:13.820 --> 00:14:14.320
 black and

00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:14.640
 white,

00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:15.460
 and it's

00:14:15.460 --> 00:14:16.699
 not okay.

00:14:17.899 --> 00:14:18.340
 Jesus'

00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:19.340
 first miracle

00:14:19.340 --> 00:14:21.860
 was to

00:14:21.860 --> 00:14:22.580
 turn water

00:14:22.580 --> 00:14:23.960
 into wine.

00:14:24.580 --> 00:14:25.000
 And don't

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:25.500
 come at me

00:14:25.500 --> 00:14:25.919
 with Greek

00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:26.600
 arguments about

00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:26.879
 what he

00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:27.199
 turned it

00:14:27.199 --> 00:14:27.379
 into.

00:14:27.439 --> 00:14:27.799
 He didn't

00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:28.080
 turn it

00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:28.500
 into grape

00:14:28.500 --> 00:14:28.720
 juice.

00:14:28.819 --> 00:14:29.100
 He turned

00:14:29.100 --> 00:14:29.399
 it into

00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:29.819
 wine.

00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:30.899
 It was

00:14:30.899 --> 00:14:31.379
 actually said

00:14:31.379 --> 00:14:31.580
 that it

00:14:31.580 --> 00:14:31.899
 was the

00:14:31.899 --> 00:14:32.980
 best wine,

00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:33.279
 which meant

00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:33.620
 it was the

00:14:33.620 --> 00:14:34.919
 strong wine

00:14:34.919 --> 00:14:35.159
 that he

00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:35.500
 turned it

00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:35.679
 into.

00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:36.259
 In fact,

00:14:36.939 --> 00:14:37.360
 he turned

00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:37.659
 it into

00:14:37.659 --> 00:14:38.659
 120 to

00:14:38.659 --> 00:14:40.000
 180 gallons

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:41.799
 of wine.

00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:43.080
 It was a

00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:43.480
 party.

00:14:44.639 --> 00:14:46.960
 Paul commends

00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:47.419
 to Timothy

00:14:47.419 --> 00:14:47.860
 the drinking

00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:48.279
 of wine

00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:48.639
 for his

00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:49.039
 health.

00:14:49.740 --> 00:14:50.220
 1 Timothy

00:14:50.220 --> 00:14:51.080
 5.23

00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:51.439
 It's a

00:14:51.439 --> 00:14:51.960
 parenthetical

00:14:51.960 --> 00:14:52.319
 in our

00:14:52.319 --> 00:14:53.100
 English text.

00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:54.019
 No longer

00:14:54.019 --> 00:14:54.580
 drink only

00:14:54.580 --> 00:14:55.000
 water,

00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:55.759
 but use

00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:56.080
 a little

00:14:56.080 --> 00:14:56.620
 wine for

00:14:56.620 --> 00:14:57.000
 the sake

00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:57.259
 of your

00:14:57.259 --> 00:14:57.659
 stomach

00:14:57.659 --> 00:14:58.519
 and your

00:14:58.519 --> 00:14:59.139
 frequent

00:14:59.139 --> 00:15:00.379
 ailments.

00:15:01.419 --> 00:15:01.840
 The Scripture

00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:03.360
 nowhere forbids

00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:04.039
 the drinking,

00:15:04.240 --> 00:15:04.639
 but don't

00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:05.220
 forget the

00:15:05.220 --> 00:15:07.120
 strong case

00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:07.659
 made against

00:15:07.659 --> 00:15:08.199
 the danger

00:15:08.199 --> 00:15:08.539
 of it.

00:15:08.819 --> 00:15:09.139
 Please don't

00:15:09.139 --> 00:15:09.480
 set that

00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:10.080
 apart in

00:15:10.080 --> 00:15:10.539
 your mind,

00:15:10.740 --> 00:15:11.240
 young people.

00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:13.159
 There's strong

00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:13.740
 warning given

00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:14.220
 in the Scripture.

00:15:14.639 --> 00:15:15.279
 About what

00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:16.779
 drink can

00:15:16.779 --> 00:15:17.460
 do.

00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:18.019
 But drinking

00:15:18.019 --> 00:15:18.939
 in moderation

00:15:18.939 --> 00:15:21.559
 is okay.

00:15:23.340 --> 00:15:24.120
 I hear the

00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:24.819
 argument often

00:15:24.819 --> 00:15:25.220
 on the other

00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:25.679
 side of the

00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:26.019
 coin.

00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:26.879
 Those who

00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:28.319
 want to be

00:15:28.319 --> 00:15:29.500
 licentious in

00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:30.059
 their drinking,

00:15:30.220 --> 00:15:30.439
 who are

00:15:30.439 --> 00:15:30.899
 Christians,

00:15:31.860 --> 00:15:32.600
 say for those

00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:33.080
 of us who

00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:33.759
 choose not to

00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:33.980
 drink,

00:15:34.039 --> 00:15:34.519
 that we're not

00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:35.399
 practicing our

00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:35.740
 liberty,

00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:36.340
 that we have

00:15:36.340 --> 00:15:37.699
 somehow denied

00:15:37.699 --> 00:15:39.419
 the freeness we

00:15:39.419 --> 00:15:40.179
 have in the

00:15:40.179 --> 00:15:40.559
 Gospel,

00:15:41.019 --> 00:15:41.519
 which is

00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:42.919
 total hogwash.

00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:44.719
 I can

00:15:44.719 --> 00:15:45.360
 choose not

00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:45.699
 to drink,

00:15:45.740 --> 00:15:46.019
 which I

00:15:46.019 --> 00:15:46.299
 do,

00:15:46.360 --> 00:15:46.699
 just to

00:15:46.699 --> 00:15:47.019
 clear that

00:15:47.019 --> 00:15:47.399
 up for

00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:47.620
 you.

00:15:48.299 --> 00:15:48.500
 For

00:15:48.500 --> 00:15:48.959
 myself,

00:15:49.259 --> 00:15:49.639
 I choose

00:15:49.639 --> 00:15:50.159
 not to

00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:50.579
 drink,

00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:51.500
 which is

00:15:51.500 --> 00:15:52.139
 a practicing

00:15:52.139 --> 00:15:52.579
 of my

00:15:52.579 --> 00:15:53.719
 liberty in

00:15:53.719 --> 00:15:54.159
 Christ.

00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:55.059
 It's not

00:15:55.059 --> 00:15:55.579
 a law

00:15:55.579 --> 00:15:56.379
 placed upon

00:15:56.379 --> 00:15:57.579
 me by

00:15:57.579 --> 00:15:57.779
 my

00:15:57.779 --> 00:15:58.319
 denomination,

00:15:59.439 --> 00:16:00.019
 but it's

00:16:00.019 --> 00:16:00.500
 rather something

00:16:00.500 --> 00:16:00.799
 that I

00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:01.740
 freely choose

00:16:01.740 --> 00:16:02.219
 to do

00:16:02.219 --> 00:16:03.399
 in Christ.

00:16:03.539 --> 00:16:03.899
 It is a

00:16:03.899 --> 00:16:04.240
 practicing

00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:05.099
 of my

00:16:05.099 --> 00:16:05.319
 liberty.

00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:05.539
 Don't

00:16:05.539 --> 00:16:05.879
 think that

00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:06.019
 if you

00:16:06.019 --> 00:16:06.559
 decide not

00:16:06.559 --> 00:16:06.939
 to drink

00:16:06.939 --> 00:16:07.259
 that you're

00:16:07.259 --> 00:16:07.799
 denying

00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:08.399
 the freedom

00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:08.839
 you have

00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:09.560
 in the

00:16:09.560 --> 00:16:09.899
 Gospel.

00:16:11.100 --> 00:16:11.540
 Romans

00:16:11.540 --> 00:16:12.540
 chapter 14.

00:16:14.420 --> 00:16:14.940
 In light

00:16:14.940 --> 00:16:15.840
 of much

00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:16.560
 debate in

00:16:16.560 --> 00:16:17.040
 that day

00:16:17.040 --> 00:16:17.500
 over the

00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:17.980
 consumption

00:16:17.980 --> 00:16:18.639
 of food

00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:19.280
 offered to

00:16:19.280 --> 00:16:19.740
 idols,

00:16:20.460 --> 00:16:21.100
 as well

00:16:21.100 --> 00:16:21.740
 as the

00:16:21.740 --> 00:16:22.100
 consumption

00:16:22.100 --> 00:16:22.660
 of foods

00:16:22.660 --> 00:16:23.240
 prohibited

00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:24.280
 by Old

00:16:24.280 --> 00:16:24.620
 Testament

00:16:24.620 --> 00:16:25.280
 ceremonial

00:16:25.280 --> 00:16:25.580
 law,

00:16:25.780 --> 00:16:26.080
 there was

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:26.580
 lots of

00:16:26.580 --> 00:16:27.100
 hubbub

00:16:27.100 --> 00:16:27.700
 about food

00:16:27.700 --> 00:16:28.139
 and drink

00:16:28.139 --> 00:16:28.680
 in the

00:16:28.680 --> 00:16:29.060
 day in

00:16:29.060 --> 00:16:29.440
 the early

00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:30.139
 church.

00:16:30.500 --> 00:16:30.820
 And Paul

00:16:30.820 --> 00:16:31.100
 writes,

00:16:31.180 --> 00:16:31.480
 beginning in

00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:31.980
 verse 20

00:16:31.980 --> 00:16:32.360
 of Romans

00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:32.900
 14,

00:16:32.899 --> 00:16:34.000
 do not

00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:34.740
 for the

00:16:34.740 --> 00:16:35.340
 sake of

00:16:35.340 --> 00:16:35.959
 food

00:16:35.959 --> 00:16:37.480
 destroy

00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:38.299
 the work

00:16:38.299 --> 00:16:38.939
 of God.

00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:40.240
 Everything

00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:41.360
 is indeed

00:16:41.360 --> 00:16:42.039
 clean,

00:16:42.259 --> 00:16:43.059
 but it is

00:16:43.059 --> 00:16:43.480
 wrong for

00:16:43.480 --> 00:16:43.939
 anyone to

00:16:43.939 --> 00:16:44.379
 make another

00:16:44.379 --> 00:16:45.399
 stumble by

00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:45.899
 what he

00:16:45.899 --> 00:16:46.399
 eats.

00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:47.539
 It is

00:16:47.539 --> 00:16:48.439
 good not

00:16:48.439 --> 00:16:48.819
 to eat

00:16:48.819 --> 00:16:49.220
 meat

00:16:49.220 --> 00:16:50.120
 or drink

00:16:50.120 --> 00:16:50.579
 wine

00:16:50.579 --> 00:16:51.340
 or do

00:16:51.340 --> 00:16:51.840
 anything

00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:52.399
 that causes

00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:52.899
 your brother

00:16:52.899 --> 00:16:53.939
 to stumble.

00:16:54.539 --> 00:16:55.220
 The faith

00:16:55.220 --> 00:16:55.480
 that you

00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:55.860
 have,

00:16:55.959 --> 00:16:56.340
 keep between

00:16:56.340 --> 00:16:56.740
 yourself

00:16:56.740 --> 00:16:57.360
 and God.

00:16:57.500 --> 00:16:57.819
 Blessed

00:16:57.819 --> 00:16:58.220
 is the

00:16:58.220 --> 00:16:58.960
 one who

00:16:58.960 --> 00:16:59.439
 has no

00:16:59.439 --> 00:16:59.899
 reason to

00:16:59.899 --> 00:17:00.519
 pass judgment

00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:01.220
 on himself

00:17:01.220 --> 00:17:02.220
 for what

00:17:02.220 --> 00:17:03.139
 he approves.

00:17:03.660 --> 00:17:04.180
 But whoever

00:17:04.180 --> 00:17:05.100
 has doubts

00:17:05.100 --> 00:17:06.140
 is condemned

00:17:06.140 --> 00:17:07.079
 if he

00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:07.500
 eats,

00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:08.279
 because the

00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:08.640
 eating is

00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:08.980
 not from

00:17:08.980 --> 00:17:09.519
 faith,

00:17:09.700 --> 00:17:10.120
 for whatever

00:17:10.120 --> 00:17:10.600
 does not

00:17:10.600 --> 00:17:11.960
 proceed from

00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:13.279
 faith is

00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:13.600
 sin.

00:17:14.360 --> 00:17:14.779
 And I

00:17:14.779 --> 00:17:15.240
 bring that

00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:15.720
 text to

00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:16.000
 you to

00:17:16.000 --> 00:17:16.839
 say that

00:17:16.839 --> 00:17:17.079
 in the

00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:17.600
 culture in

00:17:17.600 --> 00:17:17.940
 which we

00:17:17.940 --> 00:17:18.460
 live,

00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:19.360
 which is

00:17:19.360 --> 00:17:21.180
 very split

00:17:21.180 --> 00:17:21.759
 on the

00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:22.140
 issue of

00:17:22.140 --> 00:17:22.620
 alcohol,

00:17:23.140 --> 00:17:23.819
 we should

00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:24.140
 be very

00:17:24.140 --> 00:17:25.140
 wise in

00:17:25.140 --> 00:17:25.559
 our day.

00:17:26.539 --> 00:17:26.819
 In fact,

00:17:26.860 --> 00:17:27.079
 I would

00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:27.460
 say to

00:17:27.460 --> 00:17:27.839
 you,

00:17:28.360 --> 00:17:28.660
 as you

00:17:28.660 --> 00:17:29.200
 consider

00:17:29.200 --> 00:17:30.680
 your freedom

00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:31.360
 in Christ,

00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:32.079
 as you

00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:32.639
 consider the

00:17:32.639 --> 00:17:33.439
 gray area

00:17:33.439 --> 00:17:33.859
 here,

00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:35.199
 that if

00:17:35.199 --> 00:17:35.419
 you have

00:17:35.419 --> 00:17:35.939
 doubt in

00:17:35.939 --> 00:17:36.480
 your mind,

00:17:36.740 --> 00:17:37.659
 don't.

00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:38.759
 If you're

00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:39.039
 in a given

00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:39.879
 situation and

00:17:39.879 --> 00:17:40.139
 you're just

00:17:40.139 --> 00:17:40.720
 not sure,

00:17:41.399 --> 00:17:41.699
 if you're

00:17:41.699 --> 00:17:42.199
 just considering

00:17:42.199 --> 00:17:42.579
 the issue

00:17:42.579 --> 00:17:43.500
 altogether and

00:17:43.500 --> 00:17:44.000
 you're just

00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:45.119
 not sure,

00:17:45.960 --> 00:17:46.579
 don't.

00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:47.619
 The text

00:17:47.619 --> 00:17:47.960
 says,

00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:48.579
 verse 23,

00:17:48.699 --> 00:17:49.019
 but whoever

00:17:49.019 --> 00:17:50.240
 has doubts

00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:50.899
 is condemned

00:17:50.899 --> 00:17:51.419
 if he eats

00:17:51.419 --> 00:17:51.839
 because the

00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:52.599
 eating is

00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:53.980
 not from

00:17:53.980 --> 00:17:54.460
 faith.

00:17:55.720 --> 00:17:56.500
 I believe

00:17:56.500 --> 00:17:56.960
 we have

00:17:56.960 --> 00:17:57.500
 much reason

00:17:57.500 --> 00:17:57.960
 to doubt.

00:17:59.159 --> 00:18:00.019
 Not making

00:18:00.019 --> 00:18:00.579
 a case that

00:18:00.579 --> 00:18:01.259
 you can't.

00:18:01.919 --> 00:18:02.220
 I'm just

00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:02.659
 making a

00:18:02.659 --> 00:18:03.059
 case that

00:18:03.059 --> 00:18:04.679
 maybe you

00:18:04.679 --> 00:18:05.099
 shouldn't.

00:18:06.099 --> 00:18:06.539
 So hear

00:18:06.539 --> 00:18:06.819
 that.

00:18:07.019 --> 00:18:07.639
 Hear the

00:18:07.639 --> 00:18:08.480
 freedom in

00:18:08.480 --> 00:18:08.980
 it, but

00:18:08.980 --> 00:18:09.199
 hear the

00:18:09.199 --> 00:18:09.819
 strong warning

00:18:09.819 --> 00:18:10.899
 as well.

00:18:11.699 --> 00:18:11.819
 We're

00:18:11.819 --> 00:18:12.099
 to be a

00:18:12.099 --> 00:18:13.159
 people set

00:18:13.159 --> 00:18:13.539
 apart.

00:18:14.099 --> 00:18:14.379
 There is

00:18:14.379 --> 00:18:15.539
 a vanity

00:18:15.539 --> 00:18:17.919
 in over

00:18:17.919 --> 00:18:19.299
 consumption of

00:18:19.299 --> 00:18:20.019
 alcohol, to

00:18:20.019 --> 00:18:20.399
 be sure.

00:18:21.679 --> 00:18:22.439
 There's also

00:18:22.439 --> 00:18:23.259
 a vanity in

00:18:23.259 --> 00:18:25.339
 sophistication of

00:18:25.339 --> 00:18:25.519
 it.

00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:27.819
 we know,

00:18:27.900 --> 00:18:28.339
 many of us

00:18:28.339 --> 00:18:29.139
 here know,

00:18:30.099 --> 00:18:30.960
 many people,

00:18:31.119 --> 00:18:31.700
 I believe,

00:18:31.819 --> 00:18:32.119
 at least I

00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:32.559
 know that I

00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:33.740
 do, who

00:18:33.740 --> 00:18:34.559
 really have

00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:35.119
 taken up

00:18:35.119 --> 00:18:35.940
 craft beer

00:18:35.940 --> 00:18:36.599
 as their

00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:37.059
 thing.

00:18:38.819 --> 00:18:39.420
 They're going

00:18:39.420 --> 00:18:40.099
 to try them

00:18:40.099 --> 00:18:40.619
 all and

00:18:40.619 --> 00:18:41.180
 know them

00:18:41.180 --> 00:18:41.680
 all and

00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:42.539
 very proud

00:18:42.539 --> 00:18:43.019
 that they

00:18:43.019 --> 00:18:44.220
 know them

00:18:44.220 --> 00:18:44.519
 all.

00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:46.139
 And I'm

00:18:46.139 --> 00:18:46.420
 not saying

00:18:46.420 --> 00:18:46.639
 that they

00:18:46.639 --> 00:18:47.079
 can't do

00:18:47.079 --> 00:18:47.660
 this thing,

00:18:47.720 --> 00:18:47.940
 but there's

00:18:47.940 --> 00:18:48.480
 no real

00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:49.900
 value found

00:18:49.900 --> 00:18:50.480
 in it.

00:18:51.259 --> 00:18:51.720
 This little

00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:52.200
 phrase in

00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:52.720
 the middle

00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:53.039
 of verse

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:53.279
 3,

00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:53.879
 my heart

00:18:53.879 --> 00:18:54.700
 still guiding

00:18:54.700 --> 00:18:55.680
 me with

00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:56.039
 wisdom.

00:18:56.180 --> 00:18:56.500
 And as I

00:18:56.500 --> 00:18:56.779
 said, I

00:18:56.779 --> 00:18:57.279
 think both

00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:57.740
 things are

00:18:57.740 --> 00:18:58.319
 going on.

00:18:58.440 --> 00:18:59.379
 I think he

00:18:59.379 --> 00:19:00.180
 probably at

00:19:00.180 --> 00:19:00.720
 times was

00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:01.420
 becoming drunk

00:19:01.420 --> 00:19:01.799
 and seeing

00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:02.160
 the vanity

00:19:02.160 --> 00:19:02.579
 of that,

00:19:02.639 --> 00:19:02.779
 and at

00:19:02.779 --> 00:19:03.180
 times he

00:19:03.180 --> 00:19:03.980
 was not

00:19:03.980 --> 00:19:04.639
 becoming

00:19:04.639 --> 00:19:05.240
 drunk,

00:19:05.359 --> 00:19:05.839
 but rather

00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:06.879
 drinking in

00:19:06.879 --> 00:19:07.639
 moderation and

00:19:07.639 --> 00:19:08.799
 then soberly

00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:09.379
 and thoughtfully

00:19:09.379 --> 00:19:10.399
 accessing his

00:19:10.399 --> 00:19:11.299
 experience.

00:19:11.700 --> 00:19:12.579
 Is this one

00:19:12.579 --> 00:19:13.139
 good?

00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:13.779
 Is this one

00:19:13.779 --> 00:19:15.079
 lend to joy?

00:19:15.180 --> 00:19:17.079
 What is the

00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:17.460
 strength?

00:19:17.579 --> 00:19:18.039
 What is the

00:19:18.039 --> 00:19:19.139
 particular alcohol

00:19:19.139 --> 00:19:19.940
 content that I

00:19:19.940 --> 00:19:21.019
 appreciate and

00:19:21.019 --> 00:19:21.440
 enjoy?

00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:23.299
 So whether

00:19:23.299 --> 00:19:24.759
 in sophistication

00:19:24.759 --> 00:19:25.180
 or in

00:19:25.180 --> 00:19:25.799
 inebriation,

00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:27.039
 there is no

00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:27.820
 gain.

00:19:28.660 --> 00:19:29.160
 Neither the

00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:30.860
 connoisseur nor

00:19:30.860 --> 00:19:31.820
 the drunkard can

00:19:31.820 --> 00:19:33.759
 find true gain

00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:34.820
 at the bottom

00:19:34.820 --> 00:19:36.120
 of a glass.

00:19:37.779 --> 00:19:38.860
 Now the thought

00:19:38.860 --> 00:19:39.500
 that the preacher

00:19:39.500 --> 00:19:41.720
 possibly pursued

00:19:41.720 --> 00:19:42.660
 gain in his

00:19:42.660 --> 00:19:43.840
 sophistication in

00:19:43.840 --> 00:19:46.000
 wine leads me

00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:46.519
 to consider,

00:19:46.660 --> 00:19:47.140
 to go a little

00:19:47.140 --> 00:19:48.480
 bit beyond the

00:19:48.480 --> 00:19:50.240
 idea of just

00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:51.000
 alcohol,

00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:52.619
 just wine,

00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:53.859
 just the

00:19:53.859 --> 00:19:54.420
 vanity of

00:19:54.420 --> 00:19:55.319
 hobbies.

00:19:56.859 --> 00:19:57.240
 Now many of

00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:57.839
 us may not

00:19:57.839 --> 00:19:58.940
 endeavor to be

00:19:58.940 --> 00:19:59.839
 connoisseurs of

00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:01.359
 wine or craft

00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:02.579
 beer or anything

00:20:02.579 --> 00:20:04.180
 else of fine

00:20:04.180 --> 00:20:04.720
 cheeses.

00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:07.000
 You ever seen

00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:08.420
 at Ingalls the

00:20:08.420 --> 00:20:10.420
 olive bar at

00:20:10.420 --> 00:20:10.779
 Ingalls?

00:20:11.539 --> 00:20:12.259
 Who in our

00:20:12.259 --> 00:20:13.180
 culture eats that

00:20:13.180 --> 00:20:13.579
 many different

00:20:13.579 --> 00:20:14.539
 kinds of olives

00:20:14.539 --> 00:20:15.960
 and shops at

00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:16.359
 Ingalls?

00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:19.299
 I don't

00:20:19.299 --> 00:20:19.759
 understand.

00:20:19.859 --> 00:20:20.299
 Twelve different

00:20:20.299 --> 00:20:20.740
 types of

00:20:20.740 --> 00:20:22.859
 olives at

00:20:22.859 --> 00:20:23.179
 Ingalls.

00:20:25.339 --> 00:20:26.000
 Maybe there

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:26.259
 are some

00:20:26.259 --> 00:20:27.079
 connoisseurs of

00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:28.859
 olives amongst

00:20:28.859 --> 00:20:29.740
 us, maybe even

00:20:29.740 --> 00:20:30.339
 today.

00:20:30.419 --> 00:20:30.859
 Those of you not

00:20:30.859 --> 00:20:31.479
 laughing, maybe.

00:20:33.579 --> 00:20:34.479
 We can have any

00:20:34.479 --> 00:20:35.979
 number of various

00:20:35.979 --> 00:20:37.559
 hobbies, things

00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:38.199
 that we pursue,

00:20:38.379 --> 00:20:38.819
 things that we

00:20:38.819 --> 00:20:39.740
 seek to become

00:20:39.740 --> 00:20:42.039
 experts in.

00:20:42.139 --> 00:20:42.519
 And beloved,

00:20:42.659 --> 00:20:43.240
 there's not

00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:44.599
 ultimate value

00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:45.700
 in these things

00:20:45.700 --> 00:20:46.059
 either.

00:20:46.579 --> 00:20:47.240
 Now hear me, I'm

00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:47.880
 saying ultimate

00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:48.559
 value, there can

00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:49.440
 be some value,

00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:49.799
 there's some

00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:50.180
 value in

00:20:50.180 --> 00:20:50.720
 enjoyment,

00:20:51.259 --> 00:20:51.599
 there's some

00:20:51.599 --> 00:20:52.160
 value in

00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:53.460
 disconnecting,

00:20:53.539 --> 00:20:54.440
 in creating.

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:55.839
 My wife is a

00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:56.680
 wonderful painter,

00:20:56.740 --> 00:20:57.700
 I'm so thankful

00:20:57.700 --> 00:20:59.279
 for the production

00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:00.160
 of beauty that

00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:01.079
 she creates in

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:01.599
 our home from

00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:02.079
 the paintings

00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:03.799
 that she does.

00:21:04.579 --> 00:21:05.779
 For me, not

00:21:05.779 --> 00:21:06.500
 so much now,

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:08.640
 but, oh gosh,

00:21:08.700 --> 00:21:09.220
 over a decade

00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:11.519
 ago now, the

00:21:11.519 --> 00:21:13.079
 hobbies that I

00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:14.179
 pursued in an

00:21:14.179 --> 00:21:15.379
 unhealthy manner

00:21:15.379 --> 00:21:16.480
 that I looked

00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:17.679
 for gain in

00:21:17.679 --> 00:21:19.359
 were rock

00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:20.759
 climbing and

00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:21.500
 whitewater kayaking.

00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:22.639
 And I know

00:21:22.639 --> 00:21:22.879
 there's some

00:21:22.879 --> 00:21:23.439
 people in our

00:21:23.439 --> 00:21:24.480
 congregation that

00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:25.259
 like to do

00:21:25.259 --> 00:21:26.480
 both of these

00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:27.000
 things.

00:21:27.579 --> 00:21:28.699
 I loved it.

00:21:30.159 --> 00:21:30.740
 And in fact, I

00:21:30.740 --> 00:21:31.240
 loved it to the

00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:32.159
 degree that I

00:21:32.159 --> 00:21:33.159
 sought to find

00:21:33.159 --> 00:21:33.819
 all of my

00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:34.899
 identity in it.

00:21:35.399 --> 00:21:36.399
 I was Nathan

00:21:36.399 --> 00:21:37.659
 who was firstly

00:21:37.659 --> 00:21:38.519
 a rock climber

00:21:38.519 --> 00:21:39.859
 and a whitewater

00:21:39.859 --> 00:21:40.259
 kayaker.

00:21:41.240 --> 00:21:41.859
 I can remember

00:21:41.859 --> 00:21:42.959
 going to have

00:21:42.959 --> 00:21:43.559
 an injury

00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:45.579
 assessed by a

00:21:45.579 --> 00:21:45.979
 doctor who

00:21:45.979 --> 00:21:46.559
 asked me how

00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:47.019
 I got the

00:21:47.019 --> 00:21:47.319
 injury.

00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:48.079
 He was a

00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:48.359
 surgeon.

00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:49.679
 I didn't get a

00:21:49.679 --> 00:21:50.339
 surgery, but we

00:21:50.339 --> 00:21:50.779
 were considering

00:21:50.779 --> 00:21:51.079
 it.

00:21:51.899 --> 00:21:53.000
 And he started

00:21:53.000 --> 00:21:53.459
 to share with

00:21:53.459 --> 00:21:54.119
 me how much

00:21:54.119 --> 00:21:54.799
 he had climbed

00:21:54.799 --> 00:21:55.719
 in college.

00:21:55.859 --> 00:21:56.139
 He'd done some

00:21:56.139 --> 00:21:56.819
 amazing things.

00:21:56.899 --> 00:21:57.240
 He'd gotten to

00:21:57.240 --> 00:21:57.859
 go some wonderful

00:21:57.859 --> 00:21:58.619
 places and do

00:21:58.619 --> 00:21:59.719
 some rather

00:21:59.719 --> 00:22:00.759
 advanced rock

00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:01.079
 climbing.

00:22:01.719 --> 00:22:02.119
 And I said,

00:22:02.139 --> 00:22:02.459
 do you still

00:22:02.459 --> 00:22:02.779
 climb?

00:22:03.659 --> 00:22:04.119
 And he said,

00:22:04.159 --> 00:22:04.719
 oh no,

00:22:05.459 --> 00:22:06.339
 insurance premiums

00:22:06.339 --> 00:22:06.919
 are just way

00:22:06.919 --> 00:22:07.639
 too high now.

00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:09.419
 And I can

00:22:09.419 --> 00:22:09.799
 remember at the

00:22:09.799 --> 00:22:10.659
 time just thinking

00:22:10.660 --> 00:22:12.580
 what a betrayer

00:22:12.580 --> 00:22:13.240
 of his own

00:22:13.240 --> 00:22:14.060
 identity he

00:22:14.060 --> 00:22:14.540
 was.

00:22:18.120 --> 00:22:19.060
 But he rightly

00:22:19.060 --> 00:22:19.759
 saw it as a

00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:20.000
 hobby.

00:22:20.420 --> 00:22:20.840
 He rightly

00:22:20.840 --> 00:22:21.360
 saw it as a

00:22:21.360 --> 00:22:22.000
 thing he enjoyed

00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:23.440
 doing one day.

00:22:23.620 --> 00:22:24.279
 And he was able

00:22:24.279 --> 00:22:24.800
 to put it back

00:22:24.800 --> 00:22:25.620
 down at another

00:22:25.620 --> 00:22:26.700
 time.

00:22:27.540 --> 00:22:28.040
 For those of

00:22:28.040 --> 00:22:29.040
 you who are

00:22:29.040 --> 00:22:30.820
 climbers amongst

00:22:30.820 --> 00:22:31.519
 us, those of you

00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:31.759
 who aren't,

00:22:31.840 --> 00:22:32.460
 this will make

00:22:32.460 --> 00:22:33.040
 no sense.

00:22:33.940 --> 00:22:34.720
 Not that I was

00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:35.300
 the best of

00:22:35.300 --> 00:22:36.519
 climbers, but I

00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:37.540
 bouldered V8.

00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:38.720
 I was leading

00:22:38.720 --> 00:22:39.720
 sport 511,

00:22:39.720 --> 00:22:40.279
 looking to

00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:40.960
 push into

00:22:40.960 --> 00:22:41.620
 12s.

00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:43.299
 I loved to

00:22:43.299 --> 00:22:43.579
 climb.

00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:45.220
 I was really

00:22:45.220 --> 00:22:46.019
 disappointed if I

00:22:46.019 --> 00:22:46.620
 didn't climb at

00:22:46.620 --> 00:22:47.400
 least three times

00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:47.880
 a week.

00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:48.779
 And I wanted at

00:22:48.779 --> 00:22:49.160
 least two of

00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:49.579
 those times to

00:22:49.579 --> 00:22:50.180
 be outdoors.

00:22:51.259 --> 00:22:51.900
 Ask some people

00:22:51.900 --> 00:22:52.299
 who were close

00:22:52.299 --> 00:22:52.720
 to me in those

00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:53.779
 days, if I was

00:22:53.779 --> 00:22:54.900
 gone, it was

00:22:54.900 --> 00:22:55.360
 where I was

00:22:55.360 --> 00:22:55.600
 at.

00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:56.259
 I was usually

00:22:56.259 --> 00:22:58.000
 climbing somewhere.

00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:00.079
 There was always

00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:00.839
 someone better

00:23:00.839 --> 00:23:01.240
 than me.

00:23:02.059 --> 00:23:02.819
 There was always

00:23:02.819 --> 00:23:04.279
 another grade,

00:23:04.460 --> 00:23:05.620
 another level to

00:23:05.620 --> 00:23:06.539
 achieve.

00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:07.559
 There would be

00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:08.180
 all of the

00:23:08.180 --> 00:23:08.819
 passion and

00:23:08.819 --> 00:23:09.559
 pursuit of

00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:10.000
 being able to

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:10.460
 accomplish

00:23:10.460 --> 00:23:10.859
 something.

00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:11.379
 And when I

00:23:11.379 --> 00:23:12.220
 accomplished it,

00:23:12.559 --> 00:23:13.059
 there was a

00:23:13.059 --> 00:23:13.960
 brief moment of

00:23:13.960 --> 00:23:14.879
 joy and then

00:23:14.879 --> 00:23:16.019
 another turning

00:23:16.019 --> 00:23:16.819
 to another

00:23:16.819 --> 00:23:17.619
 goal and

00:23:17.619 --> 00:23:18.799
 another endeavor.

00:23:20.500 --> 00:23:21.200
 I started

00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:21.539
 getting into

00:23:21.539 --> 00:23:22.279
 whitewater kayaking

00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:22.899
 because I had

00:23:22.899 --> 00:23:23.519
 nothing to do

00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:24.079
 on days that

00:23:24.079 --> 00:23:24.539
 it rained.

00:23:26.259 --> 00:23:27.000
 I needed to

00:23:27.000 --> 00:23:28.099
 go pursue

00:23:28.099 --> 00:23:29.079
 adrenaline in

00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:30.019
 another way.

00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:31.200
 I empowered

00:23:31.200 --> 00:23:31.819
 class 5

00:23:31.819 --> 00:23:32.339
 whitewater.

00:23:32.679 --> 00:23:33.259
 I became

00:23:33.259 --> 00:23:33.779
 an American

00:23:33.779 --> 00:23:34.500
 Canoe Association

00:23:34.500 --> 00:23:35.200
 whitewater kayak

00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:35.700
 instructor.

00:23:35.700 --> 00:23:38.080
 I heavily

00:23:38.080 --> 00:23:39.360
 invested myself

00:23:39.360 --> 00:23:40.400
 into these

00:23:40.400 --> 00:23:40.860
 things.

00:23:41.140 --> 00:23:41.440
 Spent

00:23:41.440 --> 00:23:42.380
 countless

00:23:42.380 --> 00:23:43.460
 hours

00:23:43.460 --> 00:23:44.340
 pursuing

00:23:44.340 --> 00:23:45.700
 these

00:23:45.700 --> 00:23:46.140
 activities.

00:23:47.019 --> 00:23:47.620
 And it

00:23:47.620 --> 00:23:48.480
 had no

00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:49.460
 ultimate

00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:50.200
 value.

00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:51.580
 Pull some

00:23:51.580 --> 00:23:52.120
 things out of

00:23:52.120 --> 00:23:52.259
 it.

00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:53.019
 Some things,

00:23:53.100 --> 00:23:53.519
 some little

00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:54.080
 things to

00:23:54.080 --> 00:23:54.600
 grasp onto,

00:23:54.700 --> 00:23:55.039
 but no

00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:55.799
 ultimate

00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:56.840
 value.

00:23:57.559 --> 00:23:58.420
 Not saying

00:23:58.420 --> 00:23:58.660
 that you

00:23:58.660 --> 00:23:59.259
 can't have

00:23:59.259 --> 00:23:59.900
 hobbies,

00:23:59.900 --> 00:24:00.980
 what I am

00:24:00.980 --> 00:24:01.380
 saying is

00:24:01.380 --> 00:24:01.960
 that your

00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:03.060
 hobby ought

00:24:03.060 --> 00:24:03.380
 not be

00:24:03.380 --> 00:24:03.840
 your God.

00:24:05.120 --> 00:24:05.519
 And you

00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:05.660
 need to

00:24:05.660 --> 00:24:06.280
 really carefully

00:24:06.280 --> 00:24:07.560
 assess if

00:24:07.560 --> 00:24:07.940
 the stuff

00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:08.259
 that you

00:24:08.259 --> 00:24:09.500
 pursue to

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:10.340
 be sophisticated

00:24:10.340 --> 00:24:11.000
 in, to

00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:11.340
 be the

00:24:11.340 --> 00:24:12.120
 expert in,

00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:13.680
 grab your

00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:14.320
 attention in

00:24:14.320 --> 00:24:14.840
 a way that

00:24:14.840 --> 00:24:15.340
 it diverts

00:24:15.340 --> 00:24:15.840
 it from

00:24:15.840 --> 00:24:16.720
 God.

00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:19.040
 Praise God

00:24:19.040 --> 00:24:20.100
 through a

00:24:20.100 --> 00:24:20.780
 number of

00:24:20.780 --> 00:24:21.700
 injuries and

00:24:21.700 --> 00:24:24.019
 through a

00:24:24.019 --> 00:24:24.640
 decade plus

00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:25.180
 of chronic

00:24:25.180 --> 00:24:25.660
 pain.

00:24:25.980 --> 00:24:26.220
 I don't

00:24:26.220 --> 00:24:26.620
 really get to

00:24:26.620 --> 00:24:26.940
 do these

00:24:26.940 --> 00:24:27.580
 things anymore.

00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:28.580
 And sometimes

00:24:28.580 --> 00:24:29.080
 I'm jealous.

00:24:29.200 --> 00:24:29.700
 I want to.

00:24:29.700 --> 00:24:30.059
 I see you

00:24:30.059 --> 00:24:30.460
 guys going

00:24:30.460 --> 00:24:30.759
 and having

00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:31.019
 fun.

00:24:31.100 --> 00:24:31.340
 I really

00:24:31.340 --> 00:24:32.059
 want to get

00:24:32.059 --> 00:24:32.259
 in the

00:24:32.259 --> 00:24:32.559
 middle of

00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:32.860
 that.

00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:34.500
 But one

00:24:34.500 --> 00:24:34.740
 of the

00:24:34.740 --> 00:24:35.080
 goods,

00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:35.660
 and I

00:24:35.660 --> 00:24:35.960
 believe there

00:24:35.960 --> 00:24:36.380
 are many,

00:24:36.460 --> 00:24:36.720
 but one

00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:36.920
 of the

00:24:36.920 --> 00:24:37.460
 great goods

00:24:37.460 --> 00:24:38.000
 in that is

00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:38.440
 that God

00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:39.380
 exposed my

00:24:39.380 --> 00:24:40.380
 heart as

00:24:40.380 --> 00:24:40.720
 He took

00:24:40.720 --> 00:24:41.360
 something away

00:24:41.360 --> 00:24:41.900
 from me that

00:24:41.900 --> 00:24:43.620
 I worshipped.

00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:45.480
 And beloved,

00:24:45.620 --> 00:24:45.980
 there is

00:24:45.980 --> 00:24:48.059
 greater joy

00:24:48.059 --> 00:24:49.160
 than anything

00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:49.620
 in this world

00:24:49.620 --> 00:24:49.920
 that you could

00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:50.700
 possibly throw

00:24:50.700 --> 00:24:51.200
 your energy

00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:51.680
 into and

00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:52.279
 endeavor to be.

00:24:52.600 --> 00:24:53.160
 I could have

00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:54.180
 been the best

00:24:54.180 --> 00:24:54.860
 rock climber

00:24:54.860 --> 00:24:55.740
 in the world.

00:24:56.299 --> 00:24:56.900
 I could have

00:24:56.900 --> 00:24:57.480
 been going off

00:24:57.480 --> 00:24:58.740
 the highest

00:24:58.740 --> 00:24:59.440
 waterfalls

00:24:59.440 --> 00:25:00.460
 better than

00:25:00.460 --> 00:25:01.019
 anyone else,

00:25:01.120 --> 00:25:01.840
 setting world

00:25:01.840 --> 00:25:02.279
 records,

00:25:02.420 --> 00:25:03.140
 having all

00:25:03.140 --> 00:25:03.480
 of the

00:25:03.480 --> 00:25:05.320
 acclaim in

00:25:05.320 --> 00:25:06.740
 every magazine,

00:25:07.320 --> 00:25:07.940
 the star of

00:25:07.940 --> 00:25:08.240
 all the

00:25:08.240 --> 00:25:08.720
 videos,

00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:11.580
 and yet it

00:25:11.580 --> 00:25:11.840
 would have been

00:25:11.840 --> 00:25:12.120
 meaningless.

00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:14.539
 There's greater

00:25:14.539 --> 00:25:14.920
 joy,

00:25:15.580 --> 00:25:16.680
 and that joy is

00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:17.059
 found in

00:25:17.059 --> 00:25:17.500
 Christ.

00:25:19.100 --> 00:25:20.000
 In Nehemiah

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:20.680
 chapter 8,

00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:21.880
 the people of

00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:22.400
 God are

00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:23.539
 urged to

00:25:23.539 --> 00:25:24.259
 eat the

00:25:24.259 --> 00:25:25.220
 fat and

00:25:25.220 --> 00:25:26.279
 drink sweet

00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:26.960
 rind to

00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:27.559
 celebrate the

00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:28.759
 holiness of

00:25:28.759 --> 00:25:29.180
 the day.

00:25:29.940 --> 00:25:30.920
 But then it

00:25:30.920 --> 00:25:31.619
 reminds them

00:25:31.619 --> 00:25:32.200
 that true

00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:32.980
 strength is

00:25:32.980 --> 00:25:33.619
 found in

00:25:33.619 --> 00:25:35.200
 the joy of

00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:35.680
 the Lord,

00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:36.700
 a deep and

00:25:36.700 --> 00:25:37.339
 an abiding

00:25:37.339 --> 00:25:38.519
 joy, a joy

00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:38.960
 that's not

00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:39.759
 based on

00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:40.500
 circumstance

00:25:40.500 --> 00:25:41.359
 that cannot

00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:42.000
 be taken

00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:42.599
 from you

00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:43.420
 ever,

00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:44.740
 is found

00:25:44.740 --> 00:25:45.279
 in Christ.

00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:46.119
 That's why

00:25:46.119 --> 00:25:46.519
 the prophet

00:25:46.519 --> 00:25:47.200
 Isaiah cries

00:25:47.200 --> 00:25:47.799
 out to us

00:25:47.799 --> 00:25:48.440
 in chapter

00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:49.119
 55,

00:25:49.299 --> 00:25:50.000
 verses 1 and

00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:50.299
 2,

00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:51.200
 Come,

00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:52.379
 everyone who

00:25:52.379 --> 00:25:52.980
 thirsts,

00:25:53.019 --> 00:25:53.559
 come to the

00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:53.920
 waters,

00:25:54.400 --> 00:25:54.920
 and he who

00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:55.599
 has no money,

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:56.079
 come,

00:25:56.200 --> 00:25:57.259
 buy and

00:25:57.259 --> 00:25:57.700
 eat.

00:25:58.279 --> 00:25:58.559
 Come,

00:25:58.660 --> 00:25:59.579
 buy wine and

00:25:59.579 --> 00:26:00.099
 milk without

00:26:00.099 --> 00:26:00.579
 money and

00:26:00.579 --> 00:26:01.359
 without price.

00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:02.680
 Why do you

00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:03.220
 spend your

00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:03.700
 money for

00:26:03.700 --> 00:26:04.240
 that which

00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:04.900
 is not bread

00:26:04.900 --> 00:26:05.319
 and your

00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:05.839
 labor for

00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:06.299
 that which

00:26:06.299 --> 00:26:06.859
 does not

00:26:06.859 --> 00:26:07.460
 satisfy?

00:26:08.180 --> 00:26:08.539
 Listen

00:26:08.539 --> 00:26:09.539
 diligently to

00:26:09.539 --> 00:26:10.039
 me and

00:26:10.039 --> 00:26:10.480
 eat what

00:26:10.480 --> 00:26:11.279
 is good and

00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:12.279
 delight yourselves

00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:13.599
 in rich

00:26:13.599 --> 00:26:14.420
 food.

00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:15.940
 There is a

00:26:15.940 --> 00:26:16.400
 food,

00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:17.200
 and a

00:26:17.200 --> 00:26:17.839
 drink that

00:26:17.839 --> 00:26:18.660
 comes from

00:26:18.660 --> 00:26:19.460
 God and

00:26:19.460 --> 00:26:20.160
 ultimately

00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:21.259
 satisfies.

00:26:22.619 --> 00:26:23.339
 Jesus says to

00:26:23.339 --> 00:26:23.799
 a Samaritan

00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:24.859
 woman at

00:26:24.859 --> 00:26:25.500
 a well in

00:26:25.500 --> 00:26:26.000
 John 4,

00:26:26.119 --> 00:26:27.139
 13-14,

00:26:28.240 --> 00:26:28.740
 Everyone who

00:26:28.740 --> 00:26:29.279
 drinks of

00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:29.819
 this water

00:26:29.819 --> 00:26:30.119
 will be

00:26:30.119 --> 00:26:31.000
 thirsty again.

00:26:31.759 --> 00:26:31.920
 Whoever

00:26:31.920 --> 00:26:32.700
 drinks of

00:26:32.700 --> 00:26:33.139
 the water

00:26:33.139 --> 00:26:33.440
 that I

00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:33.819
 will give

00:26:33.819 --> 00:26:34.160
 him will

00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:34.700
 never be

00:26:34.700 --> 00:26:35.400
 thirsty again.

00:26:35.819 --> 00:26:36.279
 The water

00:26:36.279 --> 00:26:36.559
 that I

00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:36.900
 will give

00:26:36.900 --> 00:26:37.200
 him will

00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:37.680
 become in

00:26:37.680 --> 00:26:38.019
 him a

00:26:38.019 --> 00:26:38.779
 spring of

00:26:38.779 --> 00:26:39.160
 water

00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:39.940
 welling up

00:26:39.940 --> 00:26:40.920
 to eternal

00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:41.339
 life.

00:26:41.859 --> 00:26:42.420
 Jesus stands

00:26:42.420 --> 00:26:42.879
 up in the

00:26:42.879 --> 00:26:43.440
 midst of a

00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:44.240
 great feast

00:26:44.240 --> 00:26:45.019
 and says in

00:26:45.019 --> 00:26:45.720
 John 7,

00:26:45.940 --> 00:26:46.440
 37,

00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:47.359
 If anyone

00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:48.319
 thirsts,

00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:48.779
 let him

00:26:48.779 --> 00:26:49.259
 come to

00:26:49.259 --> 00:26:50.660
 me and

00:26:50.660 --> 00:26:51.059
 drink.

00:26:52.099 --> 00:26:52.579
 If you

00:26:52.579 --> 00:26:52.900
 are in

00:26:52.900 --> 00:26:53.400
 Christ,

00:26:53.579 --> 00:26:55.099
 Christ is

00:26:55.099 --> 00:26:55.519
 to be your

00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:56.119
 supreme

00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:57.480
 satisfaction.

00:26:57.819 --> 00:26:58.680
 He is

00:26:58.680 --> 00:26:59.299
 our gain.

00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:00.879
 He gives

00:27:00.879 --> 00:27:02.400
 life meaning.

00:27:03.559 --> 00:27:04.259
 To be a

00:27:04.259 --> 00:27:05.339
 disciple of

00:27:05.339 --> 00:27:06.039
 Jesus Christ

00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:07.279
 is to fear

00:27:07.279 --> 00:27:08.980
 God and to

00:27:08.980 --> 00:27:09.500
 keep His

00:27:09.500 --> 00:27:10.180
 commandments.

00:27:11.980 --> 00:27:12.319
 If you're

00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:12.799
 not in

00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:13.259
 Christ,

00:27:13.539 --> 00:27:14.960
 you're chasing

00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:15.620
 around trying

00:27:15.620 --> 00:27:16.220
 to find joy

00:27:16.220 --> 00:27:16.960
 and satisfaction

00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:17.500
 and meaning

00:27:17.500 --> 00:27:17.920
 in this

00:27:17.920 --> 00:27:18.319
 world,

00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:18.980
 you're going

00:27:18.980 --> 00:27:19.279
 to come

00:27:19.279 --> 00:27:19.840
 up dry.

00:27:20.180 --> 00:27:20.519
 You will

00:27:20.519 --> 00:27:21.279
 not find

00:27:21.279 --> 00:27:22.120
 the answer

00:27:22.120 --> 00:27:23.539
 apart from

00:27:23.539 --> 00:27:23.940
 Christ.

00:27:24.400 --> 00:27:24.819
 You will

00:27:24.819 --> 00:27:25.420
 not understand

00:27:25.420 --> 00:27:25.940
 the proper

00:27:25.940 --> 00:27:26.319
 and right

00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:27.299
 created order.

00:27:27.680 --> 00:27:28.360
 We have a

00:27:28.360 --> 00:27:28.840
 good and

00:27:28.840 --> 00:27:29.539
 loving kind

00:27:29.539 --> 00:27:30.519
 creator that

00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:30.980
 you have made

00:27:30.980 --> 00:27:31.579
 your enemy

00:27:31.579 --> 00:27:32.380
 by your

00:27:32.380 --> 00:27:33.860
 activity and

00:27:33.860 --> 00:27:34.360
 you need

00:27:34.360 --> 00:27:34.900
 reconciliation

00:27:34.900 --> 00:27:36.319
 in Christ.

00:27:37.319 --> 00:27:37.920
 To pull

00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:38.600
 back in my

00:27:38.600 --> 00:27:39.840
 kayaking days

00:27:39.840 --> 00:27:40.140
 and an

00:27:40.140 --> 00:27:40.819
 analogy for

00:27:40.819 --> 00:27:41.079
 you,

00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:42.619
 there's a

00:27:42.619 --> 00:27:43.259
 river that's

00:27:43.259 --> 00:27:43.460
 on the

00:27:43.460 --> 00:27:43.779
 border of

00:27:43.779 --> 00:27:44.139
 Georgia and

00:27:44.139 --> 00:27:44.639
 South Carolina

00:27:44.639 --> 00:27:45.220
 called the

00:27:45.220 --> 00:27:46.939
 Chattooga and

00:27:46.939 --> 00:27:47.339
 there's a

00:27:47.339 --> 00:27:47.919
 section of the

00:27:47.919 --> 00:27:48.579
 Chattooga called

00:27:48.579 --> 00:27:49.419
 the Five Falls

00:27:49.419 --> 00:27:51.139
 and it is what

00:27:51.139 --> 00:27:51.799
 it sounds like,

00:27:51.819 --> 00:27:52.399
 a series of

00:27:52.399 --> 00:27:53.159
 rapids back to

00:27:53.159 --> 00:27:53.779
 back to back

00:27:53.779 --> 00:27:55.439
 which are so

00:27:55.439 --> 00:27:56.039
 much fun.

00:27:56.879 --> 00:27:57.220
 It makes me

00:27:57.220 --> 00:27:57.679
 want to be there

00:27:57.679 --> 00:27:58.359
 right now just

00:27:58.359 --> 00:27:59.000
 thinking about

00:27:59.000 --> 00:28:00.439
 doing the Five

00:28:00.439 --> 00:28:00.799
 Falls.

00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:01.679
 In the middle

00:28:01.679 --> 00:28:02.039
 of one of

00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:02.960
 those rapids

00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:03.919
 there's this

00:28:03.919 --> 00:28:04.819
 eddy that you

00:28:04.819 --> 00:28:05.500
 can catch,

00:28:06.199 --> 00:28:06.379
 which an

00:28:06.379 --> 00:28:06.740
 eddy is a

00:28:06.740 --> 00:28:07.220
 spot you stop

00:28:07.220 --> 00:28:07.599
 on the river.

00:28:07.779 --> 00:28:08.319
 Boy, I just

00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:09.220
 stepped out ahead

00:28:09.220 --> 00:28:09.679
 of some of you.

00:28:09.680 --> 00:28:12.160
 But below

00:28:12.160 --> 00:28:12.840
 that eddy is

00:28:12.840 --> 00:28:13.240
 what we call

00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:13.840
 a sieve where

00:28:13.840 --> 00:28:14.360
 all the water

00:28:14.360 --> 00:28:15.220
 drains through a

00:28:15.220 --> 00:28:15.799
 hole and usually

00:28:15.799 --> 00:28:16.400
 there's all kinds

00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:17.060
 of logs and

00:28:17.060 --> 00:28:17.519
 all kinds of

00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:18.240
 junk in a

00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:18.700
 sieve and you

00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:19.460
 do not want

00:28:19.460 --> 00:28:20.160
 to be in

00:28:20.160 --> 00:28:20.759
 that spot.

00:28:21.019 --> 00:28:22.039
 People drown

00:28:22.039 --> 00:28:23.019
 and die going

00:28:23.019 --> 00:28:24.120
 into sieves.

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:24.880
 And if you

00:28:24.880 --> 00:28:26.000
 pull into this

00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:26.940
 eddy you have

00:28:26.940 --> 00:28:27.340
 to do what's

00:28:27.340 --> 00:28:27.700
 called the

00:28:27.700 --> 00:28:28.220
 hairy fairy.

00:28:30.460 --> 00:28:30.960
 Am I

00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:31.400
 remembering this

00:28:31.400 --> 00:28:31.940
 rapid correctly

00:28:31.940 --> 00:28:32.160
 Wes?

00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:32.900
 Okay, I am.

00:28:33.600 --> 00:28:34.160
 And it's called

00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:34.620
 the hairy fairy

00:28:34.620 --> 00:28:35.160
 because you have

00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:35.980
 to go above

00:28:35.980 --> 00:28:37.880
 that sieve and

00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:38.340
 a fairy is when

00:28:38.340 --> 00:28:38.640
 you're pointing

00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:39.160
 upstream and

00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:39.400
 you're moving

00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:39.940
 across the

00:28:39.940 --> 00:28:40.100
 river.

00:28:40.340 --> 00:28:42.000
 Okay, the

00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:42.540
 sieve's behind

00:28:42.540 --> 00:28:43.220
 you when you're

00:28:43.220 --> 00:28:43.440
 in the middle

00:28:43.440 --> 00:28:43.880
 of this rapid

00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:44.320
 doing this

00:28:44.320 --> 00:28:45.360
 thing and it

00:28:45.360 --> 00:28:46.740
 is a real

00:28:46.740 --> 00:28:47.140
 danger.

00:28:47.800 --> 00:28:49.080
 It is there

00:28:49.080 --> 00:28:49.740
 and you have

00:28:49.740 --> 00:28:50.220
 to be aware

00:28:50.220 --> 00:28:50.480
 of it.

00:28:51.120 --> 00:28:51.700
 You don't

00:28:51.700 --> 00:28:52.440
 take somebody

00:28:52.440 --> 00:28:52.759
 through the

00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:53.140
 five falls

00:28:53.140 --> 00:28:53.440
 that's never

00:28:53.440 --> 00:28:53.680
 been through

00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:54.019
 the five

00:28:54.019 --> 00:28:54.300
 falls and

00:28:54.300 --> 00:28:54.960
 not explain

00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:55.480
 these types

00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:55.900
 of things

00:28:55.900 --> 00:28:56.660
 to them.

00:28:57.080 --> 00:28:57.620
 You don't

00:28:57.620 --> 00:28:58.220
 say, hey,

00:28:58.340 --> 00:28:58.820
 follow me

00:28:58.820 --> 00:28:59.320
 into this

00:28:59.320 --> 00:29:00.280
 place and

00:29:00.280 --> 00:29:00.620
 not have

00:29:00.620 --> 00:29:01.140
 them realize

00:29:01.140 --> 00:29:01.480
 what will

00:29:01.480 --> 00:29:02.620
 happen if

00:29:02.620 --> 00:29:03.620
 they don't

00:29:03.620 --> 00:29:03.900
 do the

00:29:03.900 --> 00:29:04.259
 hairy fairy

00:29:04.259 --> 00:29:04.259


00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:04.720
 properly,

00:29:04.840 --> 00:29:05.019
 if they

00:29:05.019 --> 00:29:05.620
 don't stay

00:29:05.620 --> 00:29:07.040
 upstream of

00:29:07.040 --> 00:29:07.759
 that sieve.

00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:08.960
 It's not a

00:29:08.960 --> 00:29:10.039
 place you

00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:10.599
 want to be.

00:29:11.700 --> 00:29:12.200
 If you're not

00:29:12.200 --> 00:29:13.119
 found in Christ,

00:29:13.619 --> 00:29:14.240
 hear me say

00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:14.900
 this to you,

00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:15.420
 there is a

00:29:15.420 --> 00:29:16.160
 danger at the

00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:16.720
 end of your

00:29:16.720 --> 00:29:18.319
 brief life and

00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:18.960
 it is eternal

00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:19.640
 damnation.

00:29:20.140 --> 00:29:21.000
 It is bearing

00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:22.240
 the weight of

00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:23.099
 God's wrath

00:29:23.099 --> 00:29:24.920
 forever because

00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:25.400
 you're his enemy.

00:29:26.859 --> 00:29:27.579
 That's where we

00:29:27.579 --> 00:29:28.960
 are on the river.

00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:31.500
 the rescue,

00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:32.579
 the way around

00:29:32.579 --> 00:29:33.980
 is Christ.

00:29:35.720 --> 00:29:36.579
 If you are

00:29:36.579 --> 00:29:37.240
 in Christ,

00:29:37.940 --> 00:29:39.600
 you must

00:29:39.600 --> 00:29:40.360
 treasure him

00:29:40.360 --> 00:29:41.980
 up the way

00:29:41.980 --> 00:29:43.319
 he deserves

00:29:43.319 --> 00:29:43.680
 to be

00:29:43.680 --> 00:29:44.440
 treasured,

00:29:44.519 --> 00:29:45.319
 the way he

00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:46.240
 ought to be

00:29:46.240 --> 00:29:46.860
 treasured because

00:29:46.860 --> 00:29:48.259
 it's for your

00:29:48.259 --> 00:29:49.440
 good and it's

00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:49.779
 for the good

00:29:49.779 --> 00:29:50.319
 of the world.

00:29:51.940 --> 00:29:52.600
 The vision

00:29:52.600 --> 00:29:53.079
 statement for

00:29:53.079 --> 00:29:53.700
 our church

00:29:53.700 --> 00:29:54.920
 is that we

00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:55.340
 exist,

00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:55.819
 Christ Family

00:29:55.819 --> 00:29:56.420
 Church exists

00:29:56.420 --> 00:29:57.079
 to glorify

00:29:57.079 --> 00:29:57.440
 God,

00:29:57.519 --> 00:29:58.340
 to bring a

00:29:58.339 --> 00:29:58.819
 claim to

00:29:58.819 --> 00:29:59.339
 his name

00:29:59.339 --> 00:30:01.059
 by experiencing,

00:30:01.679 --> 00:30:02.220
 proclaiming,

00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:02.939
 and displaying

00:30:02.939 --> 00:30:03.879
 the supremacy

00:30:03.879 --> 00:30:05.159
 of Jesus

00:30:05.159 --> 00:30:06.240
 Christ in

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:07.199
 all things

00:30:07.199 --> 00:30:08.299
 to all

00:30:08.299 --> 00:30:08.779
 peoples.

00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:10.839
 Wes and I

00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:11.179
 at the beginning

00:30:11.179 --> 00:30:11.740
 of this

00:30:11.740 --> 00:30:12.199
 semester

00:30:12.199 --> 00:30:14.359
 got the joy

00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:14.879
 of receiving

00:30:14.879 --> 00:30:15.899
 a rather

00:30:15.899 --> 00:30:17.000
 scathing email

00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:18.500
 from a young

00:30:18.500 --> 00:30:19.059
 lady who just

00:30:19.059 --> 00:30:19.839
 really didn't

00:30:19.839 --> 00:30:20.559
 enjoy our

00:30:20.559 --> 00:30:22.179
 worship service.

00:30:23.839 --> 00:30:24.179
 And it was

00:30:24.179 --> 00:30:24.699
 shocking to me

00:30:24.699 --> 00:30:25.299
 for two reasons.

00:30:25.519 --> 00:30:25.759
 Firstly,

00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:26.220
 that she had

00:30:26.220 --> 00:30:26.859
 the audacity

00:30:26.859 --> 00:30:27.720
 as an 18-year-old

00:30:27.720 --> 00:30:28.720
 to speak to

00:30:28.720 --> 00:30:29.279
 the leadership

00:30:29.279 --> 00:30:29.819
 of a church

00:30:29.819 --> 00:30:30.299
 the way that

00:30:30.299 --> 00:30:30.819
 she did.

00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:32.319
 Shame on her

00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:33.100
 father for not

00:30:33.100 --> 00:30:33.680
 raising her

00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:34.120
 better.

00:30:35.440 --> 00:30:36.400
 But also that

00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:37.200
 she so

00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:38.339
 misunderstood

00:30:38.339 --> 00:30:40.420
 so much

00:30:40.420 --> 00:30:40.920
 of what we

00:30:40.920 --> 00:30:42.039
 did together.

00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:43.019
 And she was

00:30:43.019 --> 00:30:43.559
 very upset

00:30:43.559 --> 00:30:44.140
 about the

00:30:44.140 --> 00:30:44.700
 vision statement

00:30:44.700 --> 00:30:45.640
 of our

00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:45.960
 church.

00:30:47.160 --> 00:30:48.100
 Just didn't

00:30:48.100 --> 00:30:48.799
 wrap her mind

00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:49.440
 around it

00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:50.299
 at all.

00:30:50.420 --> 00:30:50.759
 And so let

00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:51.720
 me help you

00:30:51.720 --> 00:30:52.620
 this morning

00:30:52.620 --> 00:30:53.799
 by saying to

00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:54.620
 you that if

00:30:54.620 --> 00:30:55.160
 you're in

00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:55.779
 Christ,

00:30:56.279 --> 00:30:56.640
 there should

00:30:56.640 --> 00:30:57.920
 be a real

00:30:57.920 --> 00:30:58.920
 and a day-to-day

00:30:58.920 --> 00:31:00.759
 experience of

00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:01.600
 the supremacy,

00:31:01.860 --> 00:31:02.980
 the great value

00:31:02.980 --> 00:31:04.019
 of Jesus Christ.

00:31:04.860 --> 00:31:05.220
 It should be

00:31:05.220 --> 00:31:05.759
 something that we

00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:06.480
 experience.

00:31:06.700 --> 00:31:07.100
 It should be a

00:31:07.100 --> 00:31:08.080
 real thing for

00:31:08.080 --> 00:31:08.340
 us.

00:31:08.380 --> 00:31:08.920
 Not a

00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:09.540
 philosophical

00:31:09.540 --> 00:31:10.880
 idea that's

00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:11.440
 out there.

00:31:11.980 --> 00:31:12.620
 But that we

00:31:12.620 --> 00:31:13.279
 are walking

00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:14.460
 with him day

00:31:14.460 --> 00:31:15.220
 by day

00:31:15.220 --> 00:31:16.060
 by day.

00:31:16.140 --> 00:31:16.440
 That we are

00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:17.420
 experiencing this

00:31:17.420 --> 00:31:17.740
 supremacy.

00:31:17.940 --> 00:31:18.640
 And out of that

00:31:18.640 --> 00:31:19.700
 comes proclamation

00:31:19.700 --> 00:31:21.000
 that we will say

00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:22.100
 things that are

00:31:22.100 --> 00:31:23.000
 true of who he

00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:23.420
 is.

00:31:24.180 --> 00:31:24.940
 The things that

00:31:24.940 --> 00:31:25.519
 we enjoy,

00:31:25.619 --> 00:31:26.039
 that we like to

00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:27.140
 talk most about.

00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:28.539
 Jesus will be on

00:31:28.539 --> 00:31:29.079
 our lips.

00:31:29.619 --> 00:31:30.519
 And we'll display

00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:31.599
 him in the way

00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:32.240
 that we live our

00:31:32.240 --> 00:31:32.539
 lives.

00:31:32.619 --> 00:31:33.180
 We'll orient

00:31:33.180 --> 00:31:34.460
 ourselves differently

00:31:34.460 --> 00:31:36.240
 because he is

00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:37.619
 our treasure.

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:38.680
 Because he is

00:31:38.680 --> 00:31:39.759
 supreme to us.

00:31:39.779 --> 00:31:40.140
 And this will be

00:31:40.140 --> 00:31:40.839
 the case in all

00:31:40.839 --> 00:31:41.160
 things.

00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:41.519
 And it will be

00:31:41.519 --> 00:31:42.039
 the case to

00:31:42.039 --> 00:31:43.299
 all peoples.

00:31:45.099 --> 00:31:45.819
 This is meant

00:31:45.819 --> 00:31:46.339
 to be the

00:31:46.339 --> 00:31:47.579
 practice experience

00:31:47.579 --> 00:31:47.980
 of the Christian

00:31:47.980 --> 00:31:48.220
 life.

00:31:48.299 --> 00:31:48.640
 And I think

00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:49.539
 that the challenge

00:31:49.539 --> 00:31:50.359
 for so many of

00:31:50.359 --> 00:31:51.160
 us is that we

00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:52.339
 don't experience

00:31:52.339 --> 00:31:52.919
 the supremacy

00:31:52.919 --> 00:31:53.480
 of Christ

00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:54.139
 in the day

00:31:54.139 --> 00:31:54.559
 to day

00:31:54.559 --> 00:31:55.119
 because we

00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:55.699
 don't engage

00:31:55.699 --> 00:31:56.379
 ourselves in

00:31:56.379 --> 00:31:57.000
 the activities

00:31:57.000 --> 00:31:57.859
 of a Christian

00:31:57.859 --> 00:31:58.839
 in the day

00:31:58.839 --> 00:31:59.799
 to day.

00:32:00.859 --> 00:32:01.480
 You don't know

00:32:01.480 --> 00:32:02.220
 how you encounter

00:32:02.220 --> 00:32:03.339
 Jesus today

00:32:03.339 --> 00:32:04.480
 and tomorrow

00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:05.319
 and all of the

00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:06.559
 days that follow?

00:32:07.559 --> 00:32:08.759
 In four ways.

00:32:09.879 --> 00:32:10.639
 Read the

00:32:10.639 --> 00:32:10.899
 scripture.

00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:13.220
 This attests

00:32:13.220 --> 00:32:14.539
 as the word of

00:32:14.539 --> 00:32:15.459
 God to the

00:32:15.459 --> 00:32:16.000
 word of God

00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:16.799
 who is Christ.

00:32:17.199 --> 00:32:18.079
 You see and

00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:18.939
 you behold him

00:32:18.939 --> 00:32:19.639
 here.

00:32:20.099 --> 00:32:20.859
 This is where

00:32:20.859 --> 00:32:21.759
 he speaks

00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:22.619
 to us.

00:32:23.920 --> 00:32:24.779
 You communicate

00:32:24.779 --> 00:32:25.259
 to him in

00:32:25.259 --> 00:32:25.579
 prayer.

00:32:26.519 --> 00:32:27.440
 You lay down

00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:27.859
 the burden

00:32:27.859 --> 00:32:28.420
 of your day.

00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:29.680
 You give back

00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:30.240
 to him what is

00:32:30.240 --> 00:32:30.879
 due him in

00:32:30.879 --> 00:32:31.920
 praise in

00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:32.279
 prayer.

00:32:32.740 --> 00:32:33.379
 You say to

00:32:33.379 --> 00:32:33.940
 him, I am

00:32:33.940 --> 00:32:34.640
 just a man

00:32:34.640 --> 00:32:35.000
 and I am

00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:36.299
 nothing without

00:32:36.299 --> 00:32:37.059
 prayer.

00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:40.000
 You fellowship

00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:40.700
 with the church.

00:32:41.900 --> 00:32:42.440
 And I don't

00:32:42.440 --> 00:32:43.180
 just mean showing

00:32:43.180 --> 00:32:43.879
 up and consuming

00:32:43.879 --> 00:32:44.460
 an event.

00:32:45.539 --> 00:32:46.019
 I mean

00:32:46.019 --> 00:32:46.500
 fellowship.

00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:47.400
 You live in

00:32:47.400 --> 00:32:48.700
 life, in the

00:32:48.700 --> 00:32:49.279
 day to day, in

00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:49.799
 the going and

00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:50.980
 coming of the

00:32:50.980 --> 00:32:51.839
 life of a

00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:52.400
 congregation.

00:32:53.059 --> 00:32:53.660
 In all the

00:32:53.660 --> 00:32:54.400
 varying ways

00:32:54.400 --> 00:32:54.700
 that that

00:32:54.700 --> 00:32:55.559
 happens, you

00:32:55.559 --> 00:32:56.460
 fellowship with

00:32:56.460 --> 00:32:56.940
 the church.

00:32:58.160 --> 00:32:59.000
 And thirdly,

00:32:59.660 --> 00:33:00.880
 you obey.

00:33:01.980 --> 00:33:02.839
 You do all

00:33:02.839 --> 00:33:03.299
 those other

00:33:03.299 --> 00:33:03.700
 things that

00:33:03.700 --> 00:33:04.099
 we're meant

00:33:04.099 --> 00:33:04.700
 to be doing

00:33:04.700 --> 00:33:05.680
 and obedience

00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:08.900
 necessarily leads

00:33:08.900 --> 00:33:09.500
 to suffering.

00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:10.839
 And you meet

00:33:10.839 --> 00:33:11.839
 Christ in

00:33:11.839 --> 00:33:12.220
 suffering.

00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:13.799
 Our king,

00:33:14.059 --> 00:33:14.640
 our lord,

00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:15.339
 came to this

00:33:15.339 --> 00:33:16.039
 earth and was

00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:16.440
 hated.

00:33:16.839 --> 00:33:17.120
 He was

00:33:17.120 --> 00:33:18.339
 despised and

00:33:18.339 --> 00:33:18.579
 he was

00:33:18.579 --> 00:33:18.860
 murdered.

00:33:18.859 --> 00:33:20.740
 This is the

00:33:20.740 --> 00:33:21.059
 way the

00:33:21.059 --> 00:33:21.479
 world should

00:33:21.479 --> 00:33:22.259
 perceive us.

00:33:23.519 --> 00:33:24.019
 Not a,

00:33:25.219 --> 00:33:25.619
 well, we're

00:33:25.619 --> 00:33:26.439
 American kind

00:33:26.439 --> 00:33:27.079
 of a way of

00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:27.459
 suffering.

00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:28.539
 But no, the

00:33:28.539 --> 00:33:28.919
 world should

00:33:28.919 --> 00:33:29.639
 really despise

00:33:29.639 --> 00:33:29.939
 us.

00:33:30.579 --> 00:33:31.000
 The world

00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:31.659
 really should

00:33:31.659 --> 00:33:31.959
 look at

00:33:31.959 --> 00:33:32.719
 Christians here

00:33:32.719 --> 00:33:33.399
 and say,

00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:34.000
 what an

00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:34.679
 unsavory

00:33:34.679 --> 00:33:35.159
 people.

00:33:35.959 --> 00:33:36.819
 How much

00:33:36.819 --> 00:33:37.339
 we don't

00:33:37.339 --> 00:33:37.879
 enjoy them.

00:33:37.919 --> 00:33:38.079
 And you

00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:38.519
 know why?

00:33:38.759 --> 00:33:39.339
 Because we

00:33:39.339 --> 00:33:39.819
 tell them

00:33:39.819 --> 00:33:40.259
 that they're

00:33:40.259 --> 00:33:40.819
 wrong.

00:33:41.539 --> 00:33:42.259
 In the way

00:33:42.259 --> 00:33:42.519
 that we

00:33:42.519 --> 00:33:43.539
 live and

00:33:43.539 --> 00:33:43.979
 in what we

00:33:43.979 --> 00:33:44.459
 say.

00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:46.240
 We call

00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:46.799
 evil,

00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:48.180
 evil.

00:33:49.379 --> 00:33:50.200
 We point

00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:50.740
 it out.

00:33:51.159 --> 00:33:51.899
 Not because

00:33:51.899 --> 00:33:52.899
 we're self-righteous

00:33:52.899 --> 00:33:53.259
 and we're

00:33:53.259 --> 00:33:53.899
 judgmental,

00:33:54.099 --> 00:33:54.559
 but because we

00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:55.039
 care.

00:33:55.779 --> 00:33:56.539
 Because we

00:33:56.539 --> 00:33:57.019
 know of the

00:33:57.019 --> 00:33:57.399
 danger to

00:33:57.399 --> 00:33:57.659
 come.

00:33:58.339 --> 00:33:58.839
 It's been

00:33:58.839 --> 00:33:59.319
 shown to

00:33:59.319 --> 00:33:59.519
 us and

00:33:59.519 --> 00:33:59.799
 we've been

00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:00.519
 rescued from

00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:00.759
 it.

00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:01.859
 And so we

00:34:01.859 --> 00:34:02.639
 share this

00:34:02.639 --> 00:34:03.279
 with people.

00:34:03.419 --> 00:34:04.019
 We live for

00:34:04.019 --> 00:34:04.599
 righteousness and

00:34:04.599 --> 00:34:05.119
 we call

00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:06.059
 evil,

00:34:07.099 --> 00:34:07.440
 evil.

00:34:09.300 --> 00:34:09.920
 People are

00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:10.300
 not going to

00:34:10.300 --> 00:34:10.840
 like that.

00:34:11.320 --> 00:34:12.119
 Our Christian

00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:13.079
 culture will

00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:13.980
 not like

00:34:13.980 --> 00:34:14.320
 that.

00:34:14.820 --> 00:34:14.940
 If you

00:34:14.940 --> 00:34:15.279
 can tell

00:34:15.279 --> 00:34:15.739
 people who

00:34:15.739 --> 00:34:16.139
 follow,

00:34:16.139 --> 00:34:16.960
 say they

00:34:16.960 --> 00:34:17.619
 follow Christ,

00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:17.940
 that they're

00:34:17.940 --> 00:34:18.480
 not really

00:34:18.480 --> 00:34:19.339
 following Christ,

00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:20.460
 you won't

00:34:20.460 --> 00:34:21.039
 be popular.

00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:23.000
 Is that

00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:23.420
 okay?

00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:25.679
 Do you

00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:26.500
 want Jesus

00:34:26.500 --> 00:34:27.119
 to that

00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:27.639
 degree?

00:34:28.239 --> 00:34:28.639
 That you're

00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:28.900
 willing to

00:34:28.900 --> 00:34:29.359
 follow Him

00:34:29.359 --> 00:34:29.940
 into whatever

00:34:29.940 --> 00:34:31.059
 storm He

00:34:31.059 --> 00:34:31.699
 takes you

00:34:31.699 --> 00:34:32.420
 into?

00:34:32.980 --> 00:34:33.619
 For His

00:34:33.619 --> 00:34:34.719
 glory and

00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:34.980
 for the

00:34:34.980 --> 00:34:35.239
 good of

00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:36.500
 all people.

00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:38.420
 I'm going

00:34:38.420 --> 00:34:38.679
 to read to

00:34:38.679 --> 00:34:38.839
 you in

00:34:38.839 --> 00:34:39.359
 closing from

00:34:39.359 --> 00:34:39.980
 Pilgrim's

00:34:39.980 --> 00:34:40.239
 Progress.

00:34:40.859 --> 00:34:41.279
 I told you

00:34:41.279 --> 00:34:41.420
 it was

00:34:41.420 --> 00:34:42.699
 coming out.

00:34:44.059 --> 00:34:44.539
 If you're

00:34:44.539 --> 00:34:44.839
 a guest

00:34:44.839 --> 00:34:45.099
 today,

00:34:45.139 --> 00:34:45.400
 you're not

00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:45.800
 familiar,

00:34:45.980 --> 00:34:46.240
 I haven't

00:34:46.240 --> 00:34:46.680
 talked to

00:34:46.680 --> 00:34:46.840
 you at

00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:47.119
 all.

00:34:47.840 --> 00:34:48.039
 Pilgrim's

00:34:48.039 --> 00:34:48.539
 Progress was

00:34:48.539 --> 00:34:48.840
 written by

00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:49.220
 a man named

00:34:49.220 --> 00:34:49.760
 John Bunyan.

00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:50.400
 It's an

00:34:50.400 --> 00:34:50.900
 allegory.

00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:51.440
 It's told as

00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:52.099
 a dream,

00:34:52.300 --> 00:34:52.980
 a dream of

00:34:52.980 --> 00:34:54.160
 a man named

00:34:54.160 --> 00:34:54.920
 Christian who's

00:34:54.920 --> 00:34:55.340
 making a

00:34:55.340 --> 00:34:55.740
 journey to

00:34:55.740 --> 00:34:56.300
 the celestial

00:34:56.300 --> 00:34:56.820
 city.

00:34:57.740 --> 00:34:58.220
 At this

00:34:58.220 --> 00:34:58.519
 point in

00:34:58.519 --> 00:34:58.900
 our story,

00:34:58.980 --> 00:34:59.340
 he's picked

00:34:59.340 --> 00:34:59.680
 up a

00:34:59.680 --> 00:35:00.380
 traveler whose

00:35:00.380 --> 00:35:00.840
 name is

00:35:00.840 --> 00:35:01.780
 Faithful.

00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:03.019
 And they've

00:35:03.019 --> 00:35:03.860
 gone through

00:35:03.860 --> 00:35:04.880
 a town,

00:35:05.019 --> 00:35:05.340
 through a

00:35:05.340 --> 00:35:05.780
 portion of

00:35:05.780 --> 00:35:06.220
 a town

00:35:06.220 --> 00:35:07.059
 called

00:35:07.059 --> 00:35:08.079
 Vanity

00:35:08.079 --> 00:35:08.920
 Fair.

00:35:10.139 --> 00:35:10.340
 So you

00:35:10.340 --> 00:35:11.019
 get the

00:35:11.019 --> 00:35:11.720
 tie-in to

00:35:11.720 --> 00:35:12.519
 Ecclesiastes.

00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:14.579
 Vanity Fair.

00:35:14.579 --> 00:35:15.179
 And I

00:35:15.179 --> 00:35:15.420
 read,

00:35:16.420 --> 00:35:17.279
 Now these

00:35:17.279 --> 00:35:17.840
 pilgrims,

00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:18.759
 as I said,

00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:19.860
 must needs

00:35:19.860 --> 00:35:20.319
 go through

00:35:20.319 --> 00:35:20.900
 this fair.

00:35:21.699 --> 00:35:22.019
 Well,

00:35:22.099 --> 00:35:22.460
 so they

00:35:22.460 --> 00:35:22.679
 did,

00:35:22.779 --> 00:35:23.440
 but behold,

00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:24.059
 even as they

00:35:24.059 --> 00:35:24.519
 entered into

00:35:24.519 --> 00:35:24.900
 the fair,

00:35:25.039 --> 00:35:25.500
 all the

00:35:25.500 --> 00:35:25.980
 people in

00:35:25.980 --> 00:35:26.480
 the fair

00:35:26.480 --> 00:35:27.699
 were moved

00:35:27.699 --> 00:35:28.019
 and the

00:35:28.019 --> 00:35:28.779
 town itself,

00:35:28.900 --> 00:35:29.480
 as it were,

00:35:29.840 --> 00:35:30.719
 in a hubbub

00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:31.559
 about them,

00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:32.460
 and that

00:35:32.460 --> 00:35:33.139
 for several

00:35:33.139 --> 00:35:33.639
 reasons.

00:35:34.279 --> 00:35:35.039
 For first,

00:35:35.699 --> 00:35:36.340
 the pilgrims

00:35:36.340 --> 00:35:37.079
 were clothed

00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:37.420
 with such

00:35:37.420 --> 00:35:37.880
 kind of

00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:38.679
 raiment as

00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:39.519
 was diverse

00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:40.119
 from the

00:35:40.119 --> 00:35:40.799
 raiment of

00:35:40.799 --> 00:35:41.299
 any that

00:35:41.299 --> 00:35:42.420
 traded in

00:35:42.420 --> 00:35:42.900
 that fair.

00:35:42.900 --> 00:35:43.360
 They looked

00:35:43.360 --> 00:35:43.820
 different.

00:35:44.400 --> 00:35:44.760
 The people,

00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:45.160
 therefore,

00:35:45.380 --> 00:35:45.860
 of the fair

00:35:45.860 --> 00:35:46.220
 made a

00:35:46.220 --> 00:35:47.019
 great gazing

00:35:47.019 --> 00:35:47.680
 upon them.

00:35:48.119 --> 00:35:48.619
 Some said

00:35:48.619 --> 00:35:48.920
 they were

00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:49.400
 fools,

00:35:49.740 --> 00:35:50.539
 some they

00:35:50.539 --> 00:35:51.220
 were bedlems,

00:35:51.380 --> 00:35:51.960
 and some

00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:52.700
 they were

00:35:52.700 --> 00:35:53.500
 outlandish

00:35:53.500 --> 00:35:53.900
 men.

00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:55.380
 Second,

00:35:55.619 --> 00:35:55.960
 as they

00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:57.420
 wondered at

00:35:57.420 --> 00:35:58.039
 their apparel,

00:35:58.539 --> 00:35:58.960
 so they

00:35:58.960 --> 00:35:59.599
 did likewise

00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:00.220
 at their

00:36:00.220 --> 00:36:00.860
 speech.

00:36:01.579 --> 00:36:02.119
 For few

00:36:02.119 --> 00:36:02.820
 could understand

00:36:02.820 --> 00:36:03.220
 what they

00:36:03.220 --> 00:36:03.639
 said.

00:36:04.119 --> 00:36:04.720
 They naturally

00:36:04.720 --> 00:36:05.180
 spoke the

00:36:05.180 --> 00:36:05.639
 language of

00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:06.019
 Canaan,

00:36:06.340 --> 00:36:06.740
 but they

00:36:06.740 --> 00:36:07.220
 that kept

00:36:07.220 --> 00:36:07.780
 the fair

00:36:07.780 --> 00:36:08.240
 were the

00:36:08.240 --> 00:36:08.760
 men of

00:36:08.760 --> 00:36:09.480
 this world,

00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:10.320
 so that

00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:10.780
 from one

00:36:10.780 --> 00:36:11.220
 end of the

00:36:11.220 --> 00:36:11.760
 fair to

00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:12.260
 the other

00:36:12.260 --> 00:36:13.100
 they seemed

00:36:13.100 --> 00:36:13.980
 barbarians

00:36:13.980 --> 00:36:15.100
 each to

00:36:15.100 --> 00:36:15.560
 each other.

00:36:16.800 --> 00:36:17.260
 Third,

00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:18.380
 but that

00:36:18.380 --> 00:36:18.820
 which did

00:36:18.820 --> 00:36:19.380
 not a

00:36:19.380 --> 00:36:20.240
 little amuse

00:36:20.240 --> 00:36:20.460
 the

00:36:20.460 --> 00:36:21.260
 merchandisers

00:36:21.260 --> 00:36:22.140
 was that

00:36:22.140 --> 00:36:23.080
 these pilgrims

00:36:23.080 --> 00:36:23.980
 set very

00:36:23.980 --> 00:36:25.180
 light by

00:36:25.180 --> 00:36:25.700
 all their

00:36:25.700 --> 00:36:26.140
 wares.

00:36:26.660 --> 00:36:27.380
 They cared

00:36:27.380 --> 00:36:28.340
 not so much

00:36:28.340 --> 00:36:28.960
 as to look

00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:29.600
 upon them,

00:36:29.860 --> 00:36:30.280
 and if they

00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:30.940
 called upon

00:36:30.940 --> 00:36:31.580
 them to buy,

00:36:31.700 --> 00:36:31.920
 they would

00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:32.300
 put their

00:36:32.300 --> 00:36:33.120
 fingers in

00:36:33.120 --> 00:36:33.660
 their ears

00:36:33.660 --> 00:36:34.440
 and cry,

00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:35.560
 turn away

00:36:35.560 --> 00:36:36.540
 mine eyes

00:36:36.540 --> 00:36:37.520
 from beholding

00:36:37.520 --> 00:36:38.380
 vanity,

00:36:39.020 --> 00:36:39.540
 and look

00:36:39.540 --> 00:36:39.960
 upward,

00:36:40.180 --> 00:36:40.880
 signifying that

00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:41.559
 their trade

00:36:41.559 --> 00:36:42.460
 and traffic

00:36:42.460 --> 00:36:43.420
 was in

00:36:43.420 --> 00:36:43.720
 heaven.

00:36:45.019 --> 00:36:45.559
 One

00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:46.000
 chants

00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:46.640
 mockingly,

00:36:47.240 --> 00:36:47.840
 beholding the

00:36:47.840 --> 00:36:48.340
 carriage of

00:36:48.340 --> 00:36:48.800
 the men to

00:36:48.800 --> 00:36:49.200
 say unto

00:36:49.200 --> 00:36:49.619
 them,

00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:50.680
 what will

00:36:50.680 --> 00:36:51.260
 ye buy?

00:36:51.880 --> 00:36:52.599
 But they,

00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:53.660
 looking gravely

00:36:53.660 --> 00:36:54.160
 upon him,

00:36:54.240 --> 00:36:54.559
 said,

00:36:54.800 --> 00:36:55.480
 we buy

00:36:55.480 --> 00:36:56.559
 the truth.

00:36:57.840 --> 00:36:58.380
 At that

00:36:58.380 --> 00:36:58.660
 there was

00:36:58.660 --> 00:36:59.140
 an occasion

00:36:59.140 --> 00:36:59.760
 taken to

00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:00.559
 despise the

00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:00.900
 men the

00:37:00.900 --> 00:37:01.200
 more,

00:37:01.440 --> 00:37:02.140
 some mocking,

00:37:02.579 --> 00:37:03.460
 some taunting,

00:37:03.660 --> 00:37:04.340
 some speaking

00:37:04.340 --> 00:37:05.000
 reproachfully,

00:37:05.099 --> 00:37:05.440
 and some

00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:06.000
 calling upon

00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:06.619
 others to

00:37:06.619 --> 00:37:07.220
 smite them.

00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:08.599
 At last

00:37:08.599 --> 00:37:09.140
 things came

00:37:09.140 --> 00:37:09.820
 to a hubbub,

00:37:09.820 --> 00:37:10.400
 and great

00:37:10.400 --> 00:37:11.000
 stir in

00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:11.420
 the fair,

00:37:11.860 --> 00:37:12.500
 insomuch

00:37:12.500 --> 00:37:13.080
 that all

00:37:13.080 --> 00:37:13.660
 order was

00:37:13.660 --> 00:37:14.220
 confounded.

00:37:15.019 --> 00:37:15.559
 Now was

00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:16.320
 word presently

00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:16.700
 brought to

00:37:16.700 --> 00:37:17.039
 the great

00:37:17.039 --> 00:37:17.400
 one of the

00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:17.600
 fair,

00:37:17.680 --> 00:37:18.160
 who quickly

00:37:18.160 --> 00:37:18.920
 came down

00:37:18.920 --> 00:37:19.860
 and deputed

00:37:19.860 --> 00:37:20.380
 some of his

00:37:20.380 --> 00:37:21.320
 most trusty

00:37:21.320 --> 00:37:21.880
 friends to

00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:22.400
 take these

00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:23.280
 men into

00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:23.960
 examination,

00:37:24.380 --> 00:37:25.019
 about whom

00:37:25.019 --> 00:37:25.519
 the fair

00:37:25.519 --> 00:37:26.680
 was almost

00:37:26.680 --> 00:37:27.680
 overturned.

00:37:27.680 --> 00:37:27.900
 So they

00:37:27.900 --> 00:37:28.620
 disrupt the

00:37:28.620 --> 00:37:28.900
 fair,

00:37:29.220 --> 00:37:29.519
 and they're

00:37:29.519 --> 00:37:29.880
 subsequently

00:37:29.880 --> 00:37:30.720
 arrested.

00:37:31.600 --> 00:37:31.940
 And there

00:37:31.940 --> 00:37:32.519
 is a

00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:33.680
 caging of

00:37:33.680 --> 00:37:34.019
 them,

00:37:34.680 --> 00:37:35.400
 an imprisonment,

00:37:35.539 --> 00:37:36.000
 there's a

00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:36.519
 trial,

00:37:36.640 --> 00:37:36.840
 which I'm

00:37:36.840 --> 00:37:36.980
 going to

00:37:36.980 --> 00:37:37.500
 skip over

00:37:37.500 --> 00:37:37.960
 the top of,

00:37:37.980 --> 00:37:38.380
 but it's so

00:37:38.380 --> 00:37:38.620
 good,

00:37:38.619 --> 00:37:38.799
 and you

00:37:38.799 --> 00:37:39.019
 really,

00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:39.440
 really need

00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:40.380
 to read

00:37:40.380 --> 00:37:40.619
 it.

 And then we

00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:42.880
 here.

00:37:45.679 --> 00:37:46.359
 The judge

00:37:46.359 --> 00:37:46.819
 says,

00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:48.400
 Thou

00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:49.159
 runegate,

00:37:49.619 --> 00:37:50.179
 heretic,

00:37:50.420 --> 00:37:51.000
 and traitor,

00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:51.679

00:37:53.960 --> 00:37:55.319
 have witnessed

00:37:55.319 --> 00:37:56.219
 against thee?

00:37:56.559 --> 00:37:56.920
 This is the

00:37:56.920 --> 00:37:57.359
 trial of

00:37:57.359 --> 00:37:57.699

00:37:58.000 --> 00:37:58.299
 Faithful

00:37:58.299 --> 00:37:58.719
 says,

00:37:59.159 --> 00:37:59.539
 May I

00:37:59.539 --> 00:38:00.019
 speak a

00:38:00.019 --> 00:38:00.639
 few words

00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:01.079
 in my

00:38:01.079 --> 00:38:01.319
 own

00:38:01.319 --> 00:38:01.859
 defense?

00:38:02.460 --> 00:38:02.920
 The judge

00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:03.380
 replies,

00:38:03.380 --> 00:38:03.920
 thou

00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:04.619
 deservest

00:38:04.619 --> 00:38:05.220
 to live

00:38:05.220 --> 00:38:05.860
 no longer,

00:38:06.200 --> 00:38:06.500
 but to

00:38:06.500 --> 00:38:07.180
 be slain

00:38:07.180 --> 00:38:07.820
 immediately

00:38:07.820 --> 00:38:08.519
 upon the

00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:08.980
 place.

00:38:09.420 --> 00:38:09.940
 Yet that

00:38:09.940 --> 00:38:10.640
 all men

00:38:10.640 --> 00:38:11.260

00:38:11.260 --> 00:38:11.599
 our

00:38:11.599 --> 00:38:12.039

00:38:12.039 --> 00:38:12.640
 towards thee,

00:38:12.820 --> 00:38:13.160
 let us

00:38:13.160 --> 00:38:14.140

00:38:14.140 --> 00:38:14.320
 thou

00:38:14.320 --> 00:38:14.840
 hast to

00:38:14.840 --> 00:38:15.160
 say.

00:38:16.200 --> 00:38:16.700
 Faithful

00:38:16.700 --> 00:38:17.059

00:38:17.500 --> 00:38:18.000
 I say

00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:18.340
 then,

00:38:18.840 --> 00:38:19.079
 in an

00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:19.559
 answer to

00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:20.220
 what Mr.

00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:20.820
 Envy

00:38:20.820 --> 00:38:21.460

00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:21.920
 there's great

00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:22.579
 character names

00:38:22.579 --> 00:38:23.019
 in all

00:38:23.019 --> 00:38:23.260
 this,

00:38:23.640 --> 00:38:23.960
 to what

00:38:23.960 --> 00:38:24.280
 Mr.

00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:24.599
 Envy

00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:25.160
 has spoken,

00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:26.219
 I never

00:38:26.219 --> 00:38:26.679
 said

00:38:26.679 --> 00:38:27.079
 aught

00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:27.259
 but

00:38:27.259 --> 00:38:27.739
 this,

00:38:28.379 --> 00:38:28.980
 that what

00:38:28.980 --> 00:38:29.699
 rule or

00:38:29.699 --> 00:38:30.480
 laws or

00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:31.399
 customs or

00:38:31.399 --> 00:38:32.719
 people were

00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:33.739
 flat against

00:38:33.739 --> 00:38:34.279
 the word of

00:38:34.279 --> 00:38:34.879
 God are

00:38:34.879 --> 00:38:36.039
 diametrically

00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:37.159
 opposed to

00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:37.679
 Christianity.

00:38:38.259 --> 00:38:39.099
 If I have

00:38:39.099 --> 00:38:39.779
 said amiss in

00:38:39.779 --> 00:38:39.980
 this,

00:38:40.139 --> 00:38:40.779
 convince me of

00:38:40.779 --> 00:38:41.259
 my error,

00:38:41.339 --> 00:38:41.659
 and I am

00:38:41.659 --> 00:38:42.139
 ready before

00:38:42.139 --> 00:38:42.679
 you to

00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:43.039
 make my

00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:43.739
 recantation.

00:38:44.559 --> 00:38:45.219
 As to

00:38:45.219 --> 00:38:45.679
 the second,

00:38:46.059 --> 00:38:46.500
 to wit,

00:38:46.879 --> 00:38:47.199
 Mr.

00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:48.059
 Superstition,

00:38:48.639 --> 00:38:49.119
 and his

00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:49.779
 charge against

00:38:49.779 --> 00:38:50.079
 me,

00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:50.899
 I said

00:38:50.899 --> 00:38:51.719
 only this,

00:38:52.359 --> 00:38:52.839
 that in the

00:38:52.839 --> 00:38:53.359
 worship of

00:38:53.359 --> 00:38:54.000
 God there is

00:38:54.000 --> 00:38:54.639
 required a

00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:55.119
 divine

00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:55.659
 faith,

00:38:56.099 --> 00:38:56.519
 but there

00:38:56.519 --> 00:38:57.199
 can be no

00:38:57.199 --> 00:38:58.000
 divine faith

00:38:58.000 --> 00:38:58.400
 without a

00:38:58.400 --> 00:38:59.339
 divine revelation

00:38:59.339 --> 00:39:00.219
 of the

00:39:00.219 --> 00:39:00.839
 will of

00:39:00.839 --> 00:39:01.239
 God.

00:39:01.819 --> 00:39:02.299
 Therefore,

00:39:03.000 --> 00:39:03.679
 whatever is

00:39:03.679 --> 00:39:04.480
 thrust into

00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:05.019
 the worship

00:39:05.019 --> 00:39:05.579
 of God

00:39:05.579 --> 00:39:06.199
 that is not

00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:07.119
 agreeable to

00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:08.039
 divine revelation

00:39:08.039 --> 00:39:09.579
 cannot be

00:39:09.579 --> 00:39:10.579
 done but

00:39:10.579 --> 00:39:11.319
 by a human

00:39:11.319 --> 00:39:11.920
 faith,

00:39:12.279 --> 00:39:13.059
 which faith

00:39:13.059 --> 00:39:13.440
 will not

00:39:13.440 --> 00:39:13.960
 be profitable

00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:14.579
 to eternal

00:39:14.579 --> 00:39:15.059
 life.

00:39:16.659 --> 00:39:17.359
 As to

00:39:17.359 --> 00:39:17.779
 what Mr.

00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:18.099
 Pick

00:39:21.779 --> 00:39:22.119
 avoiding

00:39:22.119 --> 00:39:22.920

00:39:31.500 --> 00:39:31.940
 are more

00:39:31.940 --> 00:39:32.799
 fit for

00:39:32.799 --> 00:39:33.199
 a being

00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:33.719
 in hell

00:39:38.000 --> 00:39:38.679
 on me.

00:39:38.679 --> 00:39:39.279
 You see the

00:39:39.279 --> 00:39:39.759
 things that he

 things of the

00:39:43.619 --> 00:39:44.119

00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:44.659
 diametrically

00:39:44.659 --> 00:39:45.199
 opposed to

 the things

 the worship

00:39:49.739 --> 00:39:50.159

 by the

00:39:51.620 --> 00:39:51.960
 regulative

00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:52.320

00:39:54.559 --> 00:39:54.920
 faith

00:39:54.920 --> 00:39:55.360
 and not

00:39:55.360 --> 00:39:55.800
 of faith

00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:57.220
 in God,

00:39:57.460 --> 00:39:58.019
 and that

00:39:58.019 --> 00:39:58.559
 those who

00:39:59.660 --> 00:40:00.200
 these things

00:40:00.200 --> 00:40:00.700
 are more

00:40:00.700 --> 00:40:01.420
 suitable for

00:40:01.420 --> 00:40:02.140
 hell

00:40:02.140 --> 00:40:02.900
 and for

00:40:02.900 --> 00:40:03.280
 the kingdom.

00:40:03.940 --> 00:40:04.240
 These are

00:40:04.240 --> 00:40:04.620
 the charges

 And then we

00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:10.519
 charge.

00:40:11.519 --> 00:40:12.220
 Then the

00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:33.500
 to hang

00:40:33.500 --> 00:40:34.599
 him or

00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:35.119
 save his

00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:35.539
 life,

00:40:35.920 --> 00:40:36.500
 but yet I

00:40:36.500 --> 00:40:37.200
 think meet

00:40:37.200 --> 00:40:37.780
 to instruct

00:40:37.780 --> 00:40:38.420
 you in

00:40:38.420 --> 00:40:38.880
 our law.

00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:40.480
 There was

00:40:40.480 --> 00:40:40.940
 an act

00:40:40.940 --> 00:40:41.480
 made in

00:40:41.480 --> 00:40:42.000
 the days

00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:42.519
 of Pharaoh

00:40:42.519 --> 00:40:43.079
 the great,

00:40:43.360 --> 00:40:43.659
 servant

00:40:43.659 --> 00:40:44.280
 to our

00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:44.760
 prince,

00:40:45.220 --> 00:40:45.880
 that lest

00:40:45.880 --> 00:40:46.619
 those of

00:40:46.619 --> 00:40:47.180
 a contrary

00:40:47.180 --> 00:40:47.640
 religion

00:40:47.640 --> 00:40:47.900
 should

00:40:47.900 --> 00:40:48.500
 multiply

00:40:48.500 --> 00:40:49.059
 and grow

00:40:49.059 --> 00:40:49.599
 too strong

00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:50.019
 for him,

00:40:50.460 --> 00:40:51.160
 their males

00:40:51.160 --> 00:40:51.579
 should be

00:40:51.579 --> 00:40:52.380
 thrown into

00:40:52.380 --> 00:40:52.820
 the river.

00:40:53.660 --> 00:40:54.079
 There was

00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:54.500
 also an

00:40:54.500 --> 00:40:54.900
 act made

00:40:54.900 --> 00:40:55.300
 in the days

00:40:55.300 --> 00:40:56.099
 of Nebuchadnezzar

00:40:56.099 --> 00:40:56.660
 the great,

00:40:57.039 --> 00:40:57.880
 another of

00:40:57.880 --> 00:40:58.559
 his servants,

00:40:58.680 --> 00:40:59.119
 that whomever

00:40:59.119 --> 00:40:59.519
 would not

00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:00.099
 fall down

00:41:00.099 --> 00:41:00.539
 and worship

00:41:00.539 --> 00:41:01.119
 his golden

00:41:01.119 --> 00:41:02.059
 image should

00:41:02.059 --> 00:41:02.619
 be thrown

00:41:02.619 --> 00:41:03.240
 into a

00:41:03.240 --> 00:41:04.160
 fiery furnace.

00:41:05.180 --> 00:41:05.519
 There was

00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:06.039
 also an

00:41:06.039 --> 00:41:06.579
 act made

00:41:06.579 --> 00:41:07.099
 in the days

00:41:07.099 --> 00:41:07.740
 of Darius,

00:41:08.240 --> 00:41:08.820
 that whoso

00:41:08.820 --> 00:41:09.480
 for some

00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:10.380
 time called

00:41:10.380 --> 00:41:11.079
 upon any

00:41:11.079 --> 00:41:11.599
 god but

00:41:11.599 --> 00:41:12.559
 him should

00:41:12.559 --> 00:41:13.119
 be cast

00:41:13.119 --> 00:41:13.539
 into the

00:41:13.539 --> 00:41:13.980
 lion's

00:41:13.980 --> 00:41:14.240
 den.

00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:15.500
 Now the

00:41:15.500 --> 00:41:15.859
 substance

00:41:15.859 --> 00:41:16.299
 of these

00:41:16.299 --> 00:41:16.719
 laws

00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:17.439
 this rebel

00:41:17.439 --> 00:41:18.159
 has broken,

00:41:18.799 --> 00:41:19.439
 not only

00:41:19.439 --> 00:41:20.199
 in thought

00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:21.000
 but also

00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:21.619
 in word

00:41:21.619 --> 00:41:22.219
 and deed,

00:41:22.299 --> 00:41:23.099
 which must

00:41:23.099 --> 00:41:23.899
 therefore

00:41:23.899 --> 00:41:24.919
 needs be

00:41:24.919 --> 00:41:26.179
 intolerable.

00:41:27.059 --> 00:41:27.719
 For that of

00:41:27.719 --> 00:41:28.000
 Pharaoh,

00:41:28.139 --> 00:41:28.659
 his law

00:41:28.659 --> 00:41:29.419
 was made

00:41:29.419 --> 00:41:29.899
 upon a

00:41:29.899 --> 00:41:30.439
 supposition

00:41:30.439 --> 00:41:30.939
 to prevent

00:41:30.939 --> 00:41:31.479
 mischief,

00:41:31.819 --> 00:41:32.459
 no crime

00:41:32.459 --> 00:41:32.919
 being yet

00:41:32.919 --> 00:41:33.259
 apparent,

00:41:33.699 --> 00:41:34.279
 but here

00:41:34.279 --> 00:41:34.919
 is a crime

00:41:34.919 --> 00:41:35.299
 apparent.

00:41:35.979 --> 00:41:36.359
 For the

00:41:36.359 --> 00:41:36.799
 second and

00:41:36.799 --> 00:41:37.099
 third,

00:41:37.279 --> 00:41:37.739
 you see,

00:41:38.099 --> 00:41:38.819
 he disputeth

00:41:38.819 --> 00:41:39.619
 against our

00:41:39.619 --> 00:41:40.059
 religion,

00:41:40.219 --> 00:41:40.639
 and for the

00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:41.679
 treason that

00:41:41.679 --> 00:41:42.139
 he hath

00:41:42.139 --> 00:41:42.719
 confessed,

00:41:42.719 --> 00:41:44.099
 he deserveth

00:41:44.099 --> 00:41:45.119
 to die

00:41:45.119 --> 00:41:46.419
 the death.

00:41:47.399 --> 00:41:48.039
 So there's

00:41:48.039 --> 00:41:49.219
 some discourse

00:41:49.219 --> 00:41:49.959
 amongst the

00:41:49.959 --> 00:41:50.219
 jury,

00:41:50.319 --> 00:41:50.559
 which is

00:41:50.559 --> 00:41:51.079
 fantastic,

00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:52.159
 and then we

00:41:52.159 --> 00:41:52.599
 read of

00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:54.039
 Faithful's

00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:54.879
 martyrdom.

00:41:55.980 --> 00:41:56.659
 They therefore

00:41:56.659 --> 00:41:57.179
 brought him

00:41:57.179 --> 00:41:57.699
 out to do

00:41:57.699 --> 00:41:58.019
 with him

00:41:58.019 --> 00:41:58.659
 according to

00:41:58.659 --> 00:41:59.139
 their law.

00:41:59.779 --> 00:42:00.379
 First they

00:42:00.379 --> 00:42:01.219
 scourged him,

00:42:01.500 --> 00:42:01.859
 then they

00:42:01.859 --> 00:42:02.539
 buffeted him,

00:42:02.859 --> 00:42:03.279
 then they

00:42:03.279 --> 00:42:03.859
 lanced his

00:42:03.859 --> 00:42:04.419
 flesh with

00:42:04.419 --> 00:42:04.839
 knives.

00:42:05.500 --> 00:42:05.919
 After that

00:42:05.919 --> 00:42:06.599
 they stoned

00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:06.939
 him with

00:42:06.939 --> 00:42:07.319
 stones,

00:42:07.419 --> 00:42:07.879
 then pricked

00:42:07.879 --> 00:42:08.219
 him with

00:42:08.219 --> 00:42:08.819
 their swords.

00:42:09.259 --> 00:42:09.859
 Last of all,

00:42:09.919 --> 00:42:10.399
 they burned

00:42:10.399 --> 00:42:11.299
 him to ashes

00:42:11.299 --> 00:42:12.279
 at the stake.

00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:13.500
 Thus came

00:42:13.500 --> 00:42:14.619
 Faithful to

00:42:14.619 --> 00:42:15.159
 his end.

00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:16.939
 Now I saw

00:42:16.939 --> 00:42:17.239
 that there

00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:17.779
 stood behind

00:42:17.779 --> 00:42:18.000
 him,

00:42:18.239 --> 00:42:19.379
 behind the

00:42:19.379 --> 00:42:19.759
 multitude,

00:42:19.939 --> 00:42:20.539
 a chariot

00:42:20.539 --> 00:42:20.899
 and a

00:42:20.899 --> 00:42:21.299
 couple of

00:42:21.299 --> 00:42:21.619
 horses,

00:42:22.179 --> 00:42:22.779
 waiting for

00:42:22.779 --> 00:42:23.279
 Faithful,

00:42:23.699 --> 00:42:24.019
 who,

00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:25.000
 so soon as

00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:25.939
 his adversaries

00:42:25.939 --> 00:42:26.599
 had dispatched

00:42:26.599 --> 00:42:26.779
 him,

00:42:26.819 --> 00:42:27.459
 was taken up

00:42:27.459 --> 00:42:27.919
 into it,

00:42:28.279 --> 00:42:28.939
 and straight

00:42:28.939 --> 00:42:29.359
 away was

00:42:29.359 --> 00:42:30.059
 carried up

00:42:30.059 --> 00:42:30.379
 through the

00:42:30.379 --> 00:42:30.879
 clouds with

00:42:30.879 --> 00:42:31.519
 the sound

00:42:31.519 --> 00:42:32.459
 of trumpet,

00:42:32.859 --> 00:42:33.379
 the nearest

00:42:33.379 --> 00:42:34.439
 way to the

00:42:34.439 --> 00:42:35.579
 celestial gate.

00:42:36.399 --> 00:42:36.879
 But as

00:42:36.879 --> 00:42:37.419
 for Christian,

00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:38.159
 he had some

00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:38.939
 respite and

00:42:38.939 --> 00:42:39.559
 was remanded

00:42:39.559 --> 00:42:40.019
 back to

00:42:40.019 --> 00:42:40.319
 prison,

00:42:40.559 --> 00:42:41.279
 so he there

00:42:41.279 --> 00:42:41.919
 remained for

00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:42.500
 space.

00:42:43.099 --> 00:42:43.740
 But he

00:42:43.740 --> 00:42:44.639
 who overrules

00:42:44.639 --> 00:42:45.539
 all things,

00:42:45.619 --> 00:42:45.980
 having the

00:42:45.980 --> 00:42:46.940
 power of

00:42:46.940 --> 00:42:47.539
 their rage

00:42:47.539 --> 00:42:47.860
 in his

00:42:47.860 --> 00:42:48.659
 own hand,

00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:49.740
 so rotted

00:42:49.740 --> 00:42:50.260
 about that

00:42:50.260 --> 00:42:50.940
 Christian for

00:42:50.940 --> 00:42:51.460
 that time

00:42:51.460 --> 00:42:52.320
 escaped them

00:42:52.320 --> 00:42:53.220
 and went

00:42:53.220 --> 00:42:53.760
 his way.

00:42:54.300 --> 00:42:54.900
 And as

00:42:54.900 --> 00:42:55.420
 he went,

00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:56.559
 he sang,

00:42:56.820 --> 00:42:57.159
 sang,

00:42:57.700 --> 00:42:58.320
 Well,

00:42:58.460 --> 00:42:58.860
 faithful,

00:42:59.240 --> 00:43:00.220
 thou hast

00:43:00.220 --> 00:43:00.780
 faithfully

00:43:00.780 --> 00:43:02.280
 professed unto

00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:03.139
 the Lord with

00:43:03.139 --> 00:43:04.240
 whom thou

00:43:04.240 --> 00:43:04.920
 shalt be

00:43:04.920 --> 00:43:05.340
 blessed.

00:43:05.880 --> 00:43:06.300
 When

00:43:06.300 --> 00:43:06.960
 faithless

00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:07.539
 ones with

00:43:07.539 --> 00:43:08.200
 all their

00:43:08.200 --> 00:43:09.139
 vain delights

00:43:09.139 --> 00:43:10.239
 are crying

00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:11.079
 out under

00:43:11.079 --> 00:43:12.059
 their hellish

00:43:12.059 --> 00:43:12.819
 plights,

00:43:13.119 --> 00:43:13.460
 sing,

00:43:13.940 --> 00:43:14.980
 faithful sing,

00:43:15.099 --> 00:43:15.480
 and let

00:43:15.480 --> 00:43:16.159
 thy name

00:43:16.159 --> 00:43:16.719
 survive,

00:43:17.059 --> 00:43:17.579
 for though

00:43:17.579 --> 00:43:18.579
 they kill

00:43:18.579 --> 00:43:18.980
 thee,

00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:20.000
 thou art

00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:20.639
 yet

00:43:20.639 --> 00:43:21.819
 alive.

00:43:22.359 --> 00:43:23.000
 Let's pray

00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:23.279
 together.

00:43:23.720 --> 00:43:23.720


00:43:23.720 --> 00:43:23.720


00:43:23.720 --> 00:43:23.720


00:43:23.720 --> 00:43:23.720


00:43:23.720 --> 00:43:23.860
 Let's pray

00:43:23.860 --> 00:43:23.860


00:43:23.860 --> 00:43:23.860


00:43:23.860 --> 00:43:23.860


00:43:23.860 --> 00:43:23.860


00:43:23.860 --> 00:43:23.860


00:43:23.860 --> 00:43:23.860


00:43:23.860 --> 00:43:23.860
