00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.360
 Well, good morning and happy Mother's Day.

00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:07.660
 If you will please take out your copy of God's Word and join me in Romans chapter 12.

00:00:10.540 --> 00:00:11.120
!

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:57.539
 I find these two verses to be of great importance for the church of our day.

00:00:57.539 --> 00:01:11.379
 In an age of post-modernity and moral relativism, we find ourselves particularly susceptible to the temptation of allowing our passions to lead the charge in directing our lives.

00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:14.780
 To let emotions rule the day.

00:01:15.039 --> 00:01:18.400
 If you have no truth, what is left?

00:01:18.539 --> 00:01:22.700
 It's whatever you feel may be true.

00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.319
 And this just should not be so amongst Christians.

00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:31.799
 We are to be a distinct people set apart for the glory of Christ.

00:01:31.979 --> 00:01:38.039
 And Paul, in part, tells us how this is to be in these two verses.

00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:43.519
 So Romans 12, verse 1 and 2 is our text for today.

00:01:43.639 --> 00:01:47.560
 Before I read it, let me remind you, beloved, that this is God's Word to us.

00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:56.540
 It was written for His glory and our good, and so we would all do well to listen to it in order to believe its promises and obey its commands.

00:01:58.140 --> 00:01:58.859
 Paul writes,

00:01:58.859 --> 00:02:28.840
 And we will spend the bulk of our time and attention this morning drawing out the meaning of the phrase.

00:02:28.840 --> 00:02:33.580
 Be transformed by the renewal of your mind.

00:02:33.580 --> 00:02:38.719
 And we're going to move quick this morning because I have more notes than I normally do.

00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:45.819
 But before we get to that phrase, we must take a look at the preceding words of Paul's exhortation.

00:02:45.819 --> 00:02:50.180
 He begins at the beginning of chapter 12 with,

00:02:50.419 --> 00:02:56.239
 I appeal to you, therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God.

00:02:57.419 --> 00:03:01.079
 Verse 1 contains the conjunctive adjective, therefore.

00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:08.719
 And these conjunctions in the Bible carry a great deal of weight and should be paid a special attention to.

00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:17.680
 You could think of the phrase, for that reason, in the place of the word, therefore, which begs, for what reason?

00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:22.840
 This little word, just three Greek letters in the original language,

00:03:23.079 --> 00:03:32.180
 bridges everything that Paul has said in the first 11 chapters to everything he will say in the following five chapters.

00:03:32.180 --> 00:03:38.040
 So, this, therefore, is packed full of meaning.

00:03:39.180 --> 00:03:45.540
 The first 11 chapters of Romans is Paul's magnum opus of Christian theology.

00:03:46.540 --> 00:03:52.340
 It is the most extensive and clearest defense of justification by grace alone, through faith alone,

00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.180
 in the person and work of Jesus Christ alone.

00:03:56.040 --> 00:03:59.740
 We've been deriving that across the past months.

00:03:59.740 --> 00:04:07.640
 It speaks to the Christ followers' adoption in Jesus and identification with Christ as our federal head.

00:04:08.760 --> 00:04:13.439
 Paul tells us that we are no longer captives of the law, but captives of grace.

00:04:14.420 --> 00:04:18.319
 He speaks of the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit who intercedes for us,

00:04:18.840 --> 00:04:22.660
 leads us in holiness, and helps us in all our affliction.

00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:28.180
 He gives us reason for patient hope as we stand in God's election,

00:04:28.180 --> 00:04:30.420
 the certainty of coming glory,

00:04:30.900 --> 00:04:34.040
 the confidence that nothing can separate us from the love of God,

00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:38.819
 and total assurance in God's continued faithfulness.

00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:43.500
 He then works out what all this means for missions.

00:04:44.860 --> 00:04:47.319
 Condemnation, justification, adoption,

00:04:47.980 --> 00:04:51.060
 soteriology, pneumatology, missiology.

00:04:51.060 --> 00:04:54.959
 It is grand and all contained in this therefore,

00:04:55.180 --> 00:04:58.240
 and all summarized by the phrase,

00:04:58.819 --> 00:05:01.019
 by the mercies of God.

00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:05.560
 Paul is making an appeal to his brothers,

00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:10.399
 and he wants to root it in all that he has taught so far in this letter.

00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:14.699
 Therefore, then, accordingly, consequently,

00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:16.699
 these things being so,

00:05:17.179 --> 00:05:22.379
 indicating that something follows from another thing necessarily.

00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:27.019
 Because God has been so merciful to you,

00:05:27.739 --> 00:05:28.319
 Paul says,

00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.519
 I appeal to you, brothers.

00:05:31.799 --> 00:05:36.500
 Paul's appeal is for those who have received the mercies of God,

00:05:36.500 --> 00:05:39.560
 those who are adopted sons.

00:05:39.660 --> 00:05:42.519
 And ladies, you want to be sons in Christ,

00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.220
 receiving all the benefits of the Father.

00:05:47.660 --> 00:05:49.040
 Adopted in Christ,

00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:50.540
 as Paul is,

00:05:50.620 --> 00:05:53.879
 those who are co-heirs with Jesus.

00:05:54.779 --> 00:05:58.300
 For anything that Paul will go on to say to be of any benefit to you,

00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:04.860
 you must ensure that you are counted in this number here called brothers.

00:06:04.860 --> 00:06:10.540
 If you have yet to place saving faith in the personal work of the Lord Jesus Christ,

00:06:11.100 --> 00:06:15.639
 turn from your sin and throw yourself on his mercies.

00:06:16.780 --> 00:06:19.400
 Assuming that you are a brother,

00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:22.120
 including you, ladies, moms, this morning.

00:06:23.180 --> 00:06:26.360
 Paul moves from doctrine to practice,

00:06:26.840 --> 00:06:28.620
 from theology to ethics,

00:06:28.980 --> 00:06:32.740
 from foundation to application.

00:06:32.740 --> 00:06:39.160
 And what is it that Paul urges us to do in light of the mercies of God?

00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:45.140
 Two, present your bodies as a living sacrifice,

00:06:45.380 --> 00:06:47.180
 holy and acceptable to God,

00:06:47.260 --> 00:06:49.740
 which is your spiritual worship.

00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:55.420
 The word present in Greek is an active, aorist, imperative verb.

00:06:55.520 --> 00:06:58.520
 It is the same word used in the Septuagint,

00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:01.040
 which is the Greek translation of the Old Testament,

00:07:01.780 --> 00:07:04.440
 to speak of the priestly duty of sacrifice,

00:07:04.860 --> 00:07:07.780
 which Paul develops in the next phrase.

00:07:07.779 --> 00:07:12.319
 This type of verb means that this presentation is a decisive,

00:07:13.379 --> 00:07:18.659
 deliberate, and continuous surrender of our whole selves,

00:07:18.899 --> 00:07:21.859
 over and over and over again.

00:07:22.619 --> 00:07:28.179
 We are urged by Paul to present our bodies as a living sacrifice,

00:07:28.559 --> 00:07:31.119
 not one that is slaughtered and laid on an altar,

00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:35.639
 but one that lives devotedly for the aim of the glory of God.

00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.800
 The word here translated bodies is used in the New Testament

00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.159
 to speak of the physical body,

00:07:42.300 --> 00:07:46.500
 but is more commonly used to speak of the whole self.

00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:52.560
 So all of us, decisively, deliberately, and continuously,

00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:54.259
 because of the mercies of God,

00:07:54.379 --> 00:07:57.639
 are to present our bodies as a living sacrifice,

00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:01.419
 give all of ourselves in devotion to God.

00:08:01.420 --> 00:08:05.860
 Paul then qualifies the presenting of our whole selves

00:08:05.860 --> 00:08:09.840
 as a living sacrifice with the word holy

00:08:09.840 --> 00:08:13.220
 and the phrase acceptable to God.

00:08:14.379 --> 00:08:16.720
 What kind of sacrifice are we to be?

00:08:17.400 --> 00:08:21.379
 One that has been set apart for a particular purpose.

00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:25.920
 One that has been declared without spot or blemish.

00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:30.180
 But I suggest, as Paul transitions this letter from doctrine to practice,

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:34.659
 one that is also in the process of being made pure.

00:08:36.379 --> 00:08:40.980
 Justification, Paul has argued, guarantees sanctification.

00:08:41.420 --> 00:08:47.720
 Having been saved guarantees that we're going to be made perfect in very degree.

00:08:48.500 --> 00:08:53.259
 And he is urging our part in this glorious work of God.

00:08:53.259 --> 00:08:57.720
 So it is this sacrifice that is acceptable to God.

00:08:57.819 --> 00:09:02.319
 One that has been washed and one that is being washed.

00:09:03.620 --> 00:09:09.539
 Paul then says that this decisively, deliberately, and continuously offered whole self-sacrifice

00:09:09.539 --> 00:09:13.759
 is your spiritual worship.

00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:19.379
 The word translated spiritual is an interesting one.

00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:23.740
 And a tricky one to assign a single English word to.

00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.679
 I am using an English standard version of the Bible.

00:09:29.399 --> 00:09:32.240
 Some translations, you may have one open in front of you today,

00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:34.620
 render this word reasonable.

00:09:34.620 --> 00:09:42.679
 And, on first glance, you may think that these English words run in contradiction to each other.

00:09:42.940 --> 00:09:45.279
 Spiritual and reasonable.

00:09:46.179 --> 00:09:52.720
 This Greek word is the word that we get our English word logic from.

00:09:53.659 --> 00:10:00.940
 So reasonable or logical are fair words here, but still not perfect.

00:10:00.940 --> 00:10:07.240
 The word sets itself in contrast to the material world.

00:10:07.380 --> 00:10:11.180
 The Greek word sets itself in contrast to the material world.

00:10:11.940 --> 00:10:16.640
 It is the rational immaterial that it is concerned with.

00:10:17.220 --> 00:10:19.400
 But that would be a clunky translation, wouldn't it?

00:10:19.500 --> 00:10:22.700
 This is your rational immaterial service.

00:10:22.700 --> 00:10:30.100
 Which is why we get the word spiritual in the ESV and many other good translations.

00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:34.879
 So, what are we to think of this word?

00:10:36.400 --> 00:10:39.920
 First, let's praise God for the faithful work of good Bible translators

00:10:39.920 --> 00:10:45.420
 and for Greek tools to dig around a little bit deeper on these words.

00:10:45.419 --> 00:10:53.759
 Second, Paul is introducing this idea that he is going to flesh out for us in the following verse.

00:10:53.979 --> 00:10:54.699
 And here it is.

00:10:56.000 --> 00:11:02.699
 The transformative power of God for sacrificial living begins in the mind.

00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:08.579
 Our faith is a mindful faith.

00:11:08.580 --> 00:11:13.160
 There is one other place in the New Testament that this Greek word is used

00:11:13.160 --> 00:11:18.300
 and rendered once again spiritual in the ESV.

00:11:18.920 --> 00:11:21.300
 It's found in 1 Peter chapter 2 and verse 2.

00:11:21.420 --> 00:11:22.139
 There Peter writes,

00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:29.120
 Like newborn infants long for the pure spiritual milk

00:11:29.120 --> 00:11:32.200
 that by it you may grow up into salvation.

00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:36.560
 What is the pure spiritual milk that Peter is talking about?

00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:41.579
 The saving knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:11:42.319 --> 00:11:50.079
 So, it could have been translated like newborn infants long for the pure reasonable milk.

00:11:51.439 --> 00:11:53.779
 Knowledgeable milk.

00:11:55.339 --> 00:11:57.859
 Before we have received the practicality of verse 2,

00:11:58.779 --> 00:12:01.479
 bear with me as I present a bit more proof

00:12:01.479 --> 00:12:05.859
 that our faith is a mindful faith.

00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:08.639
 Paul has much to say about this.

00:12:08.699 --> 00:12:14.039
 I will show you three examples from four texts in rather rapid fashion.

00:12:14.359 --> 00:12:15.059
 Are you ready?

00:12:15.779 --> 00:12:16.579
 Hang on.

00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:19.579
 If you turn back just a few pages to Romans chapter 8,

00:12:20.339 --> 00:12:23.039
 I'll begin reading in verse 5.

00:12:24.819 --> 00:12:25.679
 There Paul says,

00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:32.219
 Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh.

00:12:32.819 --> 00:12:38.659
 But those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

00:12:39.879 --> 00:12:42.059
 For to set the mind on the flesh is death,

00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:45.559
 but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.

00:12:46.059 --> 00:12:48.819
 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God,

00:12:48.899 --> 00:12:50.419
 for it does not submit to God's law.

00:12:50.419 --> 00:12:51.659
 Indeed, it cannot.

00:12:52.539 --> 00:12:55.279
 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

00:12:56.319 --> 00:12:57.979
 You, however, are not in the flesh,

00:12:58.039 --> 00:12:58.599
 but in the Spirit.

00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:00.659
 If, in fact, the Spirit of God dwells in you,

00:13:00.719 --> 00:13:02.779
 anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ

00:13:02.779 --> 00:13:05.659
 does not belong to Him.

00:13:05.659 --> 00:13:09.219
 So you see the functional work of the Spirit in the life of the Christian,

00:13:09.500 --> 00:13:10.240
 in part,

00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.679
 is to take their mind

00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.419
 to the things of God.

00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:18.799
 The things of the Spirit are the things of God.

00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:20.939
 The Word of God.

00:13:22.199 --> 00:13:22.980
 Another text.

00:13:23.699 --> 00:13:25.719
 Now this is Ephesians chapter 5.

00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:27.139
 If you'd like to join me, feel free.

00:13:27.219 --> 00:13:28.219
 If not, listen carefully.

00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:31.339
 Beginning in verse 17.

00:13:31.340 --> 00:13:34.600
 Therefore, do not be foolish,

00:13:35.040 --> 00:13:37.620
 but understand what the will of the Lord is.

00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:39.800
 And do not get drunk with wine,

00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:41.320
 for that is debauchery,

00:13:41.580 --> 00:13:45.180
 but be filled with the Spirit.

00:13:46.060 --> 00:13:48.759
 Addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,

00:13:48.920 --> 00:13:51.040
 singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart,

00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:55.060
 giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father

00:13:55.060 --> 00:13:57.139
 in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

00:13:57.139 --> 00:14:01.559
 submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.

00:14:02.679 --> 00:14:03.480
 Now to show you this,

00:14:03.580 --> 00:14:06.699
 I need to take you to a parallel passage to this one.

00:14:06.759 --> 00:14:07.799
 And I read so much of that

00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:11.039
 because I want you to see them as parallel passages.

00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.559
 So that was Ephesians 5, 17-21.

00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:17.620
 Now listen to Colossians 3, 12-17.

00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.159
 And I'll point out why it matters in just a second.

00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:22.960
 There, Paul writes,

00:14:23.059 --> 00:14:25.019
 Put on then, as God's chosen ones,

00:14:25.019 --> 00:14:26.980
 holy and beloved, compassionate hearts,

00:14:27.419 --> 00:14:30.419
 kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,

00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:31.799
 bearing with one another,

00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:33.600
 and if one has a complaint against another,

00:14:33.740 --> 00:14:34.580
 forgiving each other,

00:14:34.620 --> 00:14:35.919
 as the Lord has forgiven you,

00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:38.139
 so you also must forgive.

00:14:39.259 --> 00:14:40.639
 And above all these, put on love,

00:14:40.699 --> 00:14:42.860
 which binds everything together in perfect harmony,

00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:45.360
 and let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,

00:14:45.419 --> 00:14:47.399
 to which indeed you were called in one body,

00:14:47.899 --> 00:14:48.699
 and be thankful.

00:14:49.580 --> 00:14:53.439
 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,

00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:56.419
 teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom,

00:14:56.419 --> 00:14:58.599
 singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs

00:14:58.599 --> 00:15:01.099
 with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:03.379
 And whatever you do in word or deed,

00:15:03.479 --> 00:15:05.419
 do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus,

00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:09.399
 giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

00:15:10.139 --> 00:15:13.839
 You probably heard a lot of similar language throughout there.

00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:15.560
 I hope that you heard,

00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.120
 I'm going to draw your attention to two phrases

00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:22.720
 just before this idea of teaching and admonishing one another

00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.440
 in songs, hymns, spiritual songs.

00:15:26.860 --> 00:15:26.960
 Right?

00:15:27.820 --> 00:15:30.120
 In Ephesians, you see the phrase,

00:15:30.259 --> 00:15:32.060
 be filled with the Spirit.

00:15:32.059 --> 00:15:36.479
 In Colossians, you see the phrase,

00:15:36.699 --> 00:15:40.559
 let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.

00:15:41.739 --> 00:15:43.459
 And so I think what Paul's communicating to us

00:15:43.459 --> 00:15:44.559
 as you look at these passages,

00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:47.659
 Romans chapter 8, Ephesians chapter 5,

00:15:48.539 --> 00:15:50.479
 Colossians chapter 3,

00:15:51.339 --> 00:15:53.759
 is that for those who are filled with the Spirit,

00:15:54.019 --> 00:15:56.000
 those who are walking by the Spirit,

00:15:56.119 --> 00:15:58.559
 who are setting our minds on the things of the Spirit,

00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.719
 that means that the word of Christ is dwelling within us.

00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:06.319
 We have a mindful faith.

00:16:07.779 --> 00:16:10.159
 One final text, an example, very briefly,

00:16:10.299 --> 00:16:12.879
 2 Corinthians chapter 10 and verse 5.

00:16:13.419 --> 00:16:14.359
 There Paul says,

00:16:14.939 --> 00:16:16.979
 we destroy arguments

00:16:16.979 --> 00:16:21.779
 and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God

00:16:21.779 --> 00:16:26.979
 and take every thought captive to obey Christ.

00:16:26.980 --> 00:16:27.120
 Christ.

00:16:28.060 --> 00:16:31.320
 Our faith is a mindful faith.

00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:33.139
 And don't hear me saying

00:16:33.139 --> 00:16:35.320
 that there's no place for emotion in our faith.

00:16:35.500 --> 00:16:36.420
 What I'm saying is,

00:16:36.560 --> 00:16:39.620
 it should be led mindfully.

00:16:40.980 --> 00:16:42.860
 I do not have the time to prove

00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:44.000
 what I'm about to say to you,

00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:44.519
 but nonetheless,

00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:46.759
 I think it important to say at this point,

00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:48.899
 our earthly existence

00:16:48.899 --> 00:16:52.120
 is a dichotomous existence.

00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:54.639
 And this is probably not the best word

00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:55.419
 for our existence,

00:16:55.419 --> 00:16:57.699
 as it means branching out

00:16:57.699 --> 00:16:59.919
 or in some cases set against.

00:17:00.100 --> 00:17:04.660
 But the point is that we are made of two parts.

00:17:05.619 --> 00:17:07.599
 We are two parts.

00:17:08.420 --> 00:17:09.299
 We are bodies

00:17:09.299 --> 00:17:11.339
 and we are souls.

00:17:12.180 --> 00:17:12.779
 And better yet,

00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:16.160
 we could say we are embodied souls.

00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:19.299
 This is the state of your earthly existence.

00:17:19.299 --> 00:17:21.859
 There is the part of us

00:17:21.859 --> 00:17:23.500
 that is readily observable

00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:25.359
 through plain vision

00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:26.759
 or instrumentation

00:17:26.759 --> 00:17:28.079
 like an x-ray

00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:29.799
 or CT scan

00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:31.359
 or microscope.

00:17:32.399 --> 00:17:33.659
 And then there is the part of us

00:17:33.659 --> 00:17:36.000
 that is not so readily observable

00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:38.299
 like our affections,

00:17:38.700 --> 00:17:39.599
 our sorrows,

00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:41.440
 our thoughts.

00:17:41.940 --> 00:17:44.839
 We are embodied souls.

00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:47.480
 If you have trouble in this world

00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:50.679
 and you certainly do and will,

00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:54.199
 then those troubles fit within a Venn diagram

00:17:54.199 --> 00:17:56.339
 of being either physical,

00:17:56.939 --> 00:18:00.379
 which means you need physical relief,

00:18:01.019 --> 00:18:02.980
 or spiritual,

00:18:04.179 --> 00:18:05.399
 and often but not always

00:18:05.399 --> 00:18:07.899
 some intersection between the two.

00:18:09.259 --> 00:18:11.279
 Your spiritual issues

00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:13.679
 need spiritual solutions

00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:14.980
 which begin

00:18:14.980 --> 00:18:17.920
 in the mind.

00:18:19.220 --> 00:18:20.000
 John Owen,

00:18:20.220 --> 00:18:20.740
 in his book

00:18:20.740 --> 00:18:21.940
 Spiritual Mindedness,

00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:22.960
 which I commend to you,

00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:25.660
 a quote that's on the back of your bulletin

00:18:25.660 --> 00:18:26.320
 said this,

00:18:27.259 --> 00:18:29.500
 The mind is a leading faculty

00:18:29.500 --> 00:18:30.779
 of the soul.

00:18:31.720 --> 00:18:33.539
 When the mind fixes upon an object

00:18:33.539 --> 00:18:34.940
 or course of action,

00:18:35.700 --> 00:18:37.759
 the will and the affections

00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:38.880
 follow suit.

00:18:39.580 --> 00:18:40.539
 They are incapable

00:18:40.539 --> 00:18:42.080
 of any other consideration.

00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:43.419
 The mind's office

00:18:43.419 --> 00:18:44.879
 is to guide,

00:18:45.199 --> 00:18:46.059
 to direct,

00:18:46.259 --> 00:18:47.399
 to choose,

00:18:47.899 --> 00:18:49.019
 and to lead.

00:18:49.799 --> 00:18:50.339
 End quote.

00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:52.119
 So our faith

00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:54.159
 is a mindful faith.

00:18:54.259 --> 00:18:55.960
 It's not a stoic faith,

00:18:56.059 --> 00:18:56.859
 but it is

00:18:56.859 --> 00:18:58.419
 mindful.

00:18:58.659 --> 00:18:59.899
 Beware of anybody

00:18:59.899 --> 00:19:01.359
 that teaches you

00:19:01.359 --> 00:19:02.740
 that Christianity

00:19:02.740 --> 00:19:04.879
 is first and foremost

00:19:04.879 --> 00:19:07.079
 an emotional endeavor.

00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:09.939
 Now let's look at verse 2

00:19:09.939 --> 00:19:10.720
 and because

00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:11.839
 it's been a minute

00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:12.559
 since we read it,

00:19:12.619 --> 00:19:13.139
 let's read it

00:19:13.139 --> 00:19:14.359
 once again.

00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:15.679
 Paul says,

00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:17.819
 Do not be conformed

00:19:17.819 --> 00:19:19.119
 to this world,

00:19:19.539 --> 00:19:20.919
 but be transformed

00:19:20.919 --> 00:19:21.919
 by the renewal

00:19:21.919 --> 00:19:22.839
 of your mind,

00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:24.179
 that by testing

00:19:24.179 --> 00:19:24.879
 you may discern

00:19:24.879 --> 00:19:25.799
 what is the will of God,

00:19:25.859 --> 00:19:26.439
 what is good

00:19:26.439 --> 00:19:28.059
 and acceptable

00:19:28.059 --> 00:19:29.319
 and perfect.

00:19:30.460 --> 00:19:31.279
 Verse 2

00:19:31.279 --> 00:19:32.000
 is an explanation

00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:33.460
 of how we are to fulfill

00:19:33.460 --> 00:19:34.119
 the encouragement

00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:35.299
 of verse 1,

00:19:35.619 --> 00:19:36.639
 which Paul will then

00:19:36.639 --> 00:19:38.019
 work out in greater detail

00:19:38.019 --> 00:19:39.219
 to the very end

00:19:39.219 --> 00:19:40.379
 of the chapter.

00:19:41.679 --> 00:19:43.179
 He begins with the negative

00:19:43.179 --> 00:19:44.579
 part of the exhortation,

00:19:44.899 --> 00:19:46.779
 Do not be conformed

00:19:46.779 --> 00:19:49.039
 to this world.

00:19:50.079 --> 00:19:51.159
 To be conformed

00:19:51.159 --> 00:19:51.779
 is from a word

00:19:51.779 --> 00:19:52.359
 that means

00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:53.059
 shaped

00:19:53.059 --> 00:19:54.519
 or molded.

00:19:55.199 --> 00:19:56.119
 It refers to the

00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:57.099
 outward appearance

00:19:57.099 --> 00:19:57.699
 of a thing

00:19:57.699 --> 00:19:59.000
 and not the substance

00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:00.139
 of it.

00:20:01.199 --> 00:20:01.859
 Paul is saying

00:20:01.859 --> 00:20:02.859
 that we are not

00:20:02.859 --> 00:20:04.339
 of this world

00:20:04.339 --> 00:20:05.619
 and therefore

00:20:05.619 --> 00:20:07.019
 we should not look

00:20:07.019 --> 00:20:08.319
 like we are

00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:09.839
 of this world.

00:20:10.879 --> 00:20:12.159
 World could also

00:20:12.159 --> 00:20:13.779
 be rendered age,

00:20:13.879 --> 00:20:15.000
 which I prefer.

00:20:15.139 --> 00:20:16.339
 I think it pulls

00:20:16.339 --> 00:20:16.899
 our thinking

00:20:16.899 --> 00:20:18.519
 beyond just the material

00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:19.959
 and presses us

00:20:19.959 --> 00:20:20.679
 to think toward

00:20:20.679 --> 00:20:21.599
 the immaterial.

00:20:22.159 --> 00:20:22.759
 Thoughts,

00:20:22.859 --> 00:20:23.359
 emotions,

00:20:24.099 --> 00:20:24.659
 motivations,

00:20:25.059 --> 00:20:25.719
 ideology,

00:20:26.019 --> 00:20:27.959
 and so forth.

00:20:29.779 --> 00:20:30.919
 G.C. Trench

00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:31.680
 in his book

00:20:31.680 --> 00:20:33.740
 Synonyms of the New Testament

00:20:33.740 --> 00:20:35.820
 on this word

00:20:35.820 --> 00:20:36.539
 world

00:20:36.539 --> 00:20:37.600
 or age

00:20:37.600 --> 00:20:39.000
 says this,

00:20:39.660 --> 00:20:39.920
 quote,

00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:41.759
 that floating mass

00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:42.560
 of thoughts,

00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:43.279
 opinions,

00:20:43.680 --> 00:20:44.300
 maxims,

00:20:44.539 --> 00:20:45.220
 speculations,

00:20:45.539 --> 00:20:45.880
 hopes,

00:20:46.600 --> 00:20:47.320
 impulses,

00:20:47.800 --> 00:20:48.240
 aims,

00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:49.240
 aspirations,

00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:50.700
 at any time

00:20:50.700 --> 00:20:51.720
 current in the world

00:20:51.720 --> 00:20:52.920
 which it may be impossible

00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:53.519
 to seize

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:54.640
 and accurately define,

00:20:55.019 --> 00:20:55.940
 but which constitute

00:20:55.940 --> 00:20:56.840
 a most real

00:20:56.840 --> 00:20:58.160
 and effective power

00:20:58.160 --> 00:20:59.519
 being the moral

00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:00.940
 or immoral atmosphere

00:21:00.940 --> 00:21:02.079
 which at every moment

00:21:02.079 --> 00:21:02.799
 of our lives

00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:03.740
 we inhale

00:21:03.740 --> 00:21:05.460
 again inevitably

00:21:05.460 --> 00:21:06.920
 to exhale,

00:21:07.539 --> 00:21:08.500
 end quote.

00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:09.039
 Right?

00:21:09.299 --> 00:21:10.099
 This is explanation

00:21:10.099 --> 00:21:11.759
 of this word,

00:21:12.559 --> 00:21:13.240
 world.

00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:16.019
 Do not be conformed

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:17.200
 to that.

00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:19.639
 Paul distinguishes

00:21:19.639 --> 00:21:20.859
 this world

00:21:20.859 --> 00:21:21.720
 or age

00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:23.200
 from the will

00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:23.980
 of God

00:21:23.980 --> 00:21:25.359
 which is good

00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:26.679
 and acceptable

00:21:26.679 --> 00:21:28.379
 and perfect.

00:21:29.579 --> 00:21:30.559
 So the spirit

00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:31.339
 of this age

00:21:31.339 --> 00:21:32.639
 runs in contradiction

00:21:32.639 --> 00:21:33.599
 to the ways

00:21:33.599 --> 00:21:34.219
 of God

00:21:34.219 --> 00:21:35.000
 and we ought

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:36.679
 to not be conformed

00:21:36.679 --> 00:21:37.000
 to it.

00:21:37.919 --> 00:21:38.879
 It will always

00:21:38.879 --> 00:21:39.819
 be pressing

00:21:39.819 --> 00:21:41.099
 onto us

00:21:41.099 --> 00:21:42.740
 and into us.

00:21:43.579 --> 00:21:44.500
 The age

00:21:44.500 --> 00:21:45.459
 in which we live

00:21:45.459 --> 00:21:46.819
 cries out

00:21:46.819 --> 00:21:48.439
 for conformity.

00:21:49.479 --> 00:21:50.500
 But our reasonable

00:21:50.500 --> 00:21:50.919
 worship

00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:52.620
 is to rather

00:21:52.620 --> 00:21:54.480
 be transformed

00:21:54.480 --> 00:21:56.019
 by the renewal

00:21:56.019 --> 00:21:56.920
 of our minds.

00:21:57.740 --> 00:21:59.200
 We are to be changed

00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:00.100
 by thinking

00:22:00.100 --> 00:22:00.840
 differently

00:22:00.840 --> 00:22:02.539
 than this age.

00:22:03.820 --> 00:22:04.800
 This Greek word

00:22:04.800 --> 00:22:05.740
 is where we derive

00:22:05.740 --> 00:22:06.519
 our word

00:22:06.519 --> 00:22:07.880
 metamorphosis.

00:22:08.960 --> 00:22:09.840
 Whereas to be

00:22:09.840 --> 00:22:10.779
 conformed

00:22:10.779 --> 00:22:11.480
 is in contradiction

00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:12.360
 with our nature.

00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:13.580
 To be transformed

00:22:13.580 --> 00:22:15.100
 is to be becoming

00:22:15.100 --> 00:22:16.100
 consistent

00:22:16.100 --> 00:22:17.580
 with our nature.

00:22:17.579 --> 00:22:19.539
 we have been

00:22:19.539 --> 00:22:20.679
 made new

00:22:20.679 --> 00:22:22.500
 in Christ.

00:22:22.819 --> 00:22:23.899
 So we are to be

00:22:23.899 --> 00:22:25.019
 about appearing

00:22:25.019 --> 00:22:26.119
 new

00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:27.019
 in

00:22:27.019 --> 00:22:28.179
 Christ

00:22:28.179 --> 00:22:29.399
 by the grace

00:22:29.399 --> 00:22:30.419
 that God provides.

00:22:31.059 --> 00:22:31.759
 This is

00:22:31.759 --> 00:22:33.119
 the glorious

00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:33.679
 work

00:22:33.679 --> 00:22:35.099
 of sanctification.

00:22:36.079 --> 00:22:37.359
 Paul says of us

00:22:37.359 --> 00:22:38.379
 in 2 Corinthians 3

00:22:38.379 --> 00:22:39.220
 and verse 18

00:22:39.220 --> 00:22:40.319
 and we all

00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:41.539
 with unveiled face

00:22:41.539 --> 00:22:42.319
 beholding

00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:42.679
 the glory

00:22:42.679 --> 00:22:43.179
 of the Lord

00:22:43.179 --> 00:22:44.240
 are being

00:22:44.240 --> 00:22:45.379
 transformed

00:22:45.379 --> 00:22:46.480
 into the same

00:22:46.480 --> 00:22:47.019
 image

00:22:47.019 --> 00:22:47.759
 from one

00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:48.240
 degree

00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:48.920
 of glory

00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:49.720
 to another.

00:22:50.339 --> 00:22:50.720
 For this

00:22:50.720 --> 00:22:51.220
 comes

00:22:51.220 --> 00:22:52.259
 from the Lord

00:22:52.259 --> 00:22:53.859
 who is the Spirit.

00:22:54.339 --> 00:22:54.940
 He is the Spirit

00:22:54.940 --> 00:22:55.639
 working in us

00:22:55.639 --> 00:22:56.019
 to make us

00:22:56.019 --> 00:22:56.599
 look more

00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:57.400
 like Christ

00:22:57.400 --> 00:22:57.799
 bit

00:22:57.799 --> 00:22:58.799
 by bit

00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:00.259
 by bit.

00:23:01.180 --> 00:23:02.240
 The Spirit

00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:02.779
 of Christ

00:23:02.779 --> 00:23:03.859
 empowers us

00:23:03.859 --> 00:23:04.420
 to look

00:23:04.420 --> 00:23:05.500
 more like Him

00:23:05.500 --> 00:23:06.539
 as He leads

00:23:06.539 --> 00:23:06.900
 us

00:23:06.900 --> 00:23:07.960
 in the Word

00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:09.460
 of Christ.

00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:10.400
 I see my argument

00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:11.559
 coming together

00:23:11.559 --> 00:23:11.940
 here.

00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:14.059
 What part

00:23:14.059 --> 00:23:14.779
 do we

00:23:14.779 --> 00:23:15.819
 play?

00:23:16.099 --> 00:23:16.539
 This is an

00:23:16.539 --> 00:23:17.099
 exhortation

00:23:17.099 --> 00:23:17.579
 to us

00:23:17.579 --> 00:23:17.899
 to be

00:23:17.899 --> 00:23:18.559
 transformed

00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:19.220
 by the

00:23:19.220 --> 00:23:19.740
 renewal

00:23:19.740 --> 00:23:20.359
 of our

00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:21.319
 mind.

00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:21.920
 What are we

00:23:21.920 --> 00:23:22.680
 to be about

00:23:22.680 --> 00:23:23.220
 in this

00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:23.579
 work

00:23:23.579 --> 00:23:24.259
 of being

00:23:24.259 --> 00:23:25.799
 transformed?

00:23:27.480 --> 00:23:28.139
 Before I

00:23:28.139 --> 00:23:28.420
 spend the

00:23:28.420 --> 00:23:28.799
 remainder of

00:23:28.799 --> 00:23:29.159
 our time

00:23:29.159 --> 00:23:29.599
 addressing

00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:30.299
 this question

00:23:30.299 --> 00:23:30.700
 I want

00:23:30.700 --> 00:23:31.019
 to make

00:23:31.019 --> 00:23:31.740
 a brief

00:23:31.740 --> 00:23:32.399
 aside

00:23:32.399 --> 00:23:33.599
 concerning

00:23:33.599 --> 00:23:34.339
 mental

00:23:34.339 --> 00:23:34.899
 health

00:23:34.899 --> 00:23:35.859
 by making

00:23:35.859 --> 00:23:36.279
 four

00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:36.980
 axiomatic

00:23:36.980 --> 00:23:37.539
 statements.

00:23:37.779 --> 00:23:38.059
 I don't

00:23:38.059 --> 00:23:38.319
 want to

00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:39.519
 oversimplify

00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:40.500
 this.

00:23:40.599 --> 00:23:40.899
 There are

00:23:40.899 --> 00:23:41.879
 complications

00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:42.480
 in the

00:23:42.480 --> 00:23:42.840
 world

00:23:42.840 --> 00:23:43.520
 in which

00:23:43.520 --> 00:23:44.040
 we live.

00:23:44.420 --> 00:23:44.860
 Four

00:23:44.860 --> 00:23:45.120
 quick

00:23:45.120 --> 00:23:45.460
 statements

00:23:45.460 --> 00:23:45.760
 and then

00:23:45.760 --> 00:23:45.980
 we'll

00:23:45.980 --> 00:23:46.900
 press on.

00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:47.100
 Number

00:23:47.100 --> 00:23:47.400
 one,

00:23:48.760 --> 00:23:49.140
 we are

00:23:49.140 --> 00:23:49.540
 embodied

00:23:49.540 --> 00:23:50.080
 souls

00:23:50.080 --> 00:23:51.180
 and our

00:23:51.180 --> 00:23:51.660
 thinking

00:23:51.660 --> 00:23:52.280
 faculty

00:23:52.280 --> 00:23:53.280
 takes place

00:23:53.280 --> 00:23:54.420
 within an

00:23:54.420 --> 00:23:54.820
 organ

00:23:54.820 --> 00:23:55.940
 that is

00:23:55.940 --> 00:23:56.360
 susceptible

00:23:56.360 --> 00:23:57.100
 to the

00:23:57.100 --> 00:23:57.360
 curse.

00:23:57.620 --> 00:23:58.100
 There is

00:23:58.100 --> 00:23:59.000
 a gray

00:23:59.000 --> 00:23:59.280
 matter

00:23:59.280 --> 00:23:59.720
 organ

00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:00.180
 in which

00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:00.580
 all

00:24:00.580 --> 00:24:01.440
 the

00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:01.780
 neurons

00:24:01.780 --> 00:24:02.300
 fire.

00:24:02.540 --> 00:24:02.740
 This is

00:24:02.740 --> 00:24:03.020
 where our

00:24:03.020 --> 00:24:03.340
 thinking

00:24:03.340 --> 00:24:03.580
 is

00:24:03.580 --> 00:24:03.840
 going

00:24:03.840 --> 00:24:04.460
 on.

00:24:04.840 --> 00:24:05.560
 It is

00:24:05.560 --> 00:24:06.040
 also

00:24:06.040 --> 00:24:06.640
 susceptible

00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:07.480
 to the

00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:07.720
 curse.

00:24:07.840 --> 00:24:08.300
 I'm a

00:24:08.300 --> 00:24:08.600
 type 1

00:24:08.600 --> 00:24:08.960
 diabetic

00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:09.400
 and my

00:24:09.400 --> 00:24:09.860
 pancreas

00:24:09.860 --> 00:24:10.160
 does not

00:24:10.160 --> 00:24:10.559
 produce

00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:11.380
 insulin.

00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:12.019
 In the

00:24:12.019 --> 00:24:12.720
 same way,

00:24:13.079 --> 00:24:13.299
 we should

00:24:13.299 --> 00:24:13.819
 understand

00:24:13.819 --> 00:24:14.640
 that the

00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:15.059
 organ

00:24:15.059 --> 00:24:15.720
 is

00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:16.120
 susceptible.

00:24:17.240 --> 00:24:17.680
 Secondly,

00:24:18.900 --> 00:24:19.420
 some,

00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:20.019
 not all,

00:24:20.120 --> 00:24:20.880
 but some

00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:21.460
 of our

00:24:21.460 --> 00:24:22.340
 spiritual

00:24:22.340 --> 00:24:23.000
 problems

00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:24.000
 intersect

00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:24.700
 a

00:24:24.700 --> 00:24:25.700
 physical

00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:26.759
 problem.

00:24:27.420 --> 00:24:27.640
 My

00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:29.019
 really big

00:24:29.019 --> 00:24:29.539
 and obvious

00:24:29.539 --> 00:24:29.940
 common

00:24:29.940 --> 00:24:30.559
 example of

00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:31.400
 this is

00:24:31.400 --> 00:24:32.079
 schizophrenia.

00:24:32.819 --> 00:24:33.340
 This is a

00:24:33.340 --> 00:24:33.680
 physical

00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:34.400
 problem going

00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:34.880
 on in the

00:24:34.880 --> 00:24:35.140
 brain,

00:24:35.220 --> 00:24:35.420
 but it

00:24:35.420 --> 00:24:35.700
 has

00:24:35.700 --> 00:24:36.340
 spiritual

00:24:36.340 --> 00:24:37.340
 implications

00:24:37.340 --> 00:24:38.059
 and both

00:24:38.059 --> 00:24:39.059
 need to

00:24:39.059 --> 00:24:39.179
 be

00:24:39.179 --> 00:24:39.579
 addressed.

00:24:41.700 --> 00:24:42.259
 Thirdly,

00:24:43.139 --> 00:24:43.639
 physical

00:24:43.639 --> 00:24:44.179
 problems

00:24:44.179 --> 00:24:45.700
 are never

00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:46.899
 an excuse

00:24:46.899 --> 00:24:47.359
 for sin.

00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:48.619
 They don't

00:24:48.619 --> 00:24:48.839
 become

00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:49.480
 entitlement

00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:50.819
 to sin

00:24:50.819 --> 00:24:51.679
 against God

00:24:51.679 --> 00:24:52.799
 because,

00:24:53.259 --> 00:24:53.679
 fourthly,

00:24:53.779 --> 00:24:54.240
 God is

00:24:54.240 --> 00:24:55.200
 more

00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:55.819
 powerful

00:24:55.819 --> 00:24:56.339
 than your

00:24:56.339 --> 00:24:56.700
 physical

00:24:56.700 --> 00:24:57.379
 and,

00:24:57.700 --> 00:24:57.960
 for that

00:24:57.960 --> 00:24:58.220
 matter,

00:24:58.700 --> 00:24:59.220
 spiritual

00:24:59.220 --> 00:25:00.539
 problems.

00:25:00.899 --> 00:25:01.220
 He is

00:25:01.220 --> 00:25:01.799
 more

00:25:01.799 --> 00:25:02.700
 powerful.

00:25:03.379 --> 00:25:03.779
 1 Corinthians

00:25:03.779 --> 00:25:04.059
 10,

00:25:04.119 --> 00:25:04.539
 13,

00:25:04.899 --> 00:25:05.279
 Paul says,

00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:05.899
 no temptation

00:25:05.899 --> 00:25:06.519
 has overtaken

00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:07.220
 you that

00:25:07.220 --> 00:25:07.519
 is not

00:25:07.519 --> 00:25:07.980
 common

00:25:07.980 --> 00:25:08.539
 to man.

00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:08.740
 So,

00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:09.059
 guess what?

00:25:09.079 --> 00:25:09.380
 You're not

00:25:09.380 --> 00:25:09.819
 unique.

00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:10.180
 You don't

00:25:10.180 --> 00:25:10.420
 get a

00:25:10.420 --> 00:25:11.180
 pass on

00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:11.640
 your sin.

00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:13.039
 God

00:25:13.039 --> 00:25:14.299
 is faithful

00:25:14.299 --> 00:25:14.599
 and he

00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:14.960
 will not

00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:15.240
 let you

00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:15.640
 be tempted

00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:16.000
 beyond

00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:16.620
 your ability,

00:25:17.039 --> 00:25:17.480
 but with

00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:18.140
 the temptation

00:25:18.140 --> 00:25:18.539
 he will

00:25:18.539 --> 00:25:19.180
 also provide

00:25:19.180 --> 00:25:19.519
 the way

00:25:19.519 --> 00:25:19.960
 of escape

00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:20.460
 that you

00:25:20.460 --> 00:25:21.240
 may be

00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:21.539
 able

00:25:21.539 --> 00:25:22.519
 to endure

00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:22.759
 it.

00:25:22.980 --> 00:25:23.259
 So,

00:25:23.440 --> 00:25:23.839
 grace

00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:24.420
 comes

00:25:24.420 --> 00:25:24.779
 with it

00:25:24.779 --> 00:25:25.079
 and God

00:25:25.079 --> 00:25:25.700
 is more

00:25:25.700 --> 00:25:26.200
 powerful

00:25:26.200 --> 00:25:27.160
 than your

00:25:27.160 --> 00:25:27.460
 physical

00:25:27.460 --> 00:25:27.860
 or

00:25:27.860 --> 00:25:28.539
 spiritual

00:25:28.539 --> 00:25:30.319
 problems.

00:25:30.620 --> 00:25:30.740
 Okay,

00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:31.960
 so,

00:25:32.420 --> 00:25:33.140
 what are

00:25:33.140 --> 00:25:33.380
 we to

00:25:33.380 --> 00:25:33.640
 do in

00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:33.940
 the work

00:25:33.940 --> 00:25:34.240
 of being

00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:35.039
 transformed

00:25:35.039 --> 00:25:35.660
 by the

00:25:35.660 --> 00:25:36.000
 renewal

00:25:36.000 --> 00:25:37.279
 of our

00:25:37.279 --> 00:25:37.640
 minds?

00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:38.259
 What is

00:25:38.259 --> 00:25:38.880
 the activity

00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:39.440
 that we're

00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:39.940
 meant to

00:25:39.940 --> 00:25:41.259
 be engaging

00:25:41.259 --> 00:25:41.539
 in?

00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:42.839
 Let me show

00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:43.140
 you two

00:25:43.140 --> 00:25:43.420
 biblical

00:25:43.420 --> 00:25:43.880
 examples

00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:45.759
 and one

00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:46.220
 extra

00:25:46.220 --> 00:25:46.539
 biblical

00:25:46.539 --> 00:25:47.220
 so that we

00:25:47.220 --> 00:25:47.660
 can learn

00:25:47.660 --> 00:25:48.640
 just a bit

00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:49.259
 about it.

00:25:49.940 --> 00:25:50.140
 So,

00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:50.440
 if you will,

00:25:50.500 --> 00:25:50.980
 please join me

00:25:50.980 --> 00:25:51.440
 in Genesis

00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:52.279
 chapter 3.

00:26:11.339 --> 00:26:11.920
 In the

00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:12.279
 fall,

00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:12.700
 I want you

00:26:12.700 --> 00:26:13.220
 to see a

00:26:13.220 --> 00:26:13.620
 negative

00:26:13.620 --> 00:26:14.240
 example

00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:15.720
 of the

00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:16.460
 leading of

00:26:16.460 --> 00:26:17.019
 the mind.

00:26:18.819 --> 00:26:19.360
 Here we

00:26:19.360 --> 00:26:19.759
 see beginning

00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:20.360
 in verse 1,

00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:20.719
 now the

00:26:20.719 --> 00:26:21.159
 serpent was

00:26:21.159 --> 00:26:21.879
 more crafty

00:26:21.879 --> 00:26:22.439
 than any

00:26:22.439 --> 00:26:22.839
 other beast

00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:23.039
 of the

00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:23.219
 field

00:26:23.219 --> 00:26:23.459
 that the

00:26:23.459 --> 00:26:23.799
 Lord God

00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:24.279
 had made.

00:26:25.179 --> 00:26:25.639
 He said

00:26:25.639 --> 00:26:25.899
 to the

00:26:25.899 --> 00:26:26.159
 woman,

00:26:26.719 --> 00:26:27.819
 he addresses

00:26:27.819 --> 00:26:29.139
 her at

00:26:29.139 --> 00:26:29.459
 her point

00:26:29.459 --> 00:26:30.079
 of faculty,

00:26:31.199 --> 00:26:31.659
 did God

00:26:31.659 --> 00:26:32.879
 actually say

00:26:32.879 --> 00:26:33.939
 you shall

00:26:33.939 --> 00:26:34.359
 not eat

00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:34.799
 of any

00:26:34.799 --> 00:26:35.259
 tree

00:26:35.259 --> 00:26:36.359
 in the

00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:36.639
 garden?

00:26:37.199 --> 00:26:37.659
 Satan

00:26:37.659 --> 00:26:37.979
 tempts

00:26:37.979 --> 00:26:38.699
 Eve to

00:26:38.699 --> 00:26:39.259
 doubt

00:26:39.259 --> 00:26:40.079
 God's

00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:40.339
 word,

00:26:40.419 --> 00:26:40.719
 to doubt

00:26:40.719 --> 00:26:40.959
 the

00:26:40.959 --> 00:26:42.000
 truth.

00:26:43.199 --> 00:26:43.799
 And the

00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:44.399
 woman said

00:26:44.399 --> 00:26:44.740
 to the

00:26:44.740 --> 00:26:45.000
 serpent,

00:26:45.479 --> 00:26:45.799
 we may

00:26:45.799 --> 00:26:46.219
 eat of

00:26:46.219 --> 00:26:46.479
 the fruit

00:26:46.479 --> 00:26:46.659
 of the

00:26:46.659 --> 00:26:47.000
 trees

00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:47.419
 in the

00:26:47.419 --> 00:26:47.740
 garden,

00:26:48.419 --> 00:26:49.240
 but God

00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:49.759
 said,

00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:50.980
 you shall

00:26:50.980 --> 00:26:51.299
 not eat

00:26:51.299 --> 00:26:51.460
 of the

00:26:51.460 --> 00:26:51.599
 fruit

00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:51.779
 of the

00:26:51.779 --> 00:26:52.099
 tree

00:26:52.099 --> 00:26:52.460
 that is

00:26:52.460 --> 00:26:52.660
 in the

00:26:52.660 --> 00:26:52.839
 midst

00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:53.079
 of the

00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:53.400
 garden,

00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:54.319
 neither

00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:54.619
 shall

00:26:54.619 --> 00:26:54.920
 you

00:26:54.920 --> 00:26:55.379
 touch

00:26:55.379 --> 00:26:55.759
 it,

00:26:56.539 --> 00:26:56.839
 lest

00:26:56.839 --> 00:26:57.019
 you

00:26:57.019 --> 00:26:57.379
 die.

00:26:58.920 --> 00:26:59.660
 So here,

00:26:59.920 --> 00:27:00.759
 Eve fails

00:27:00.759 --> 00:27:01.579
 because

00:27:01.579 --> 00:27:03.440
 Eve adds

00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:04.500
 to God's

00:27:04.500 --> 00:27:05.440
 word.

00:27:05.700 --> 00:27:06.160
 The very

00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:06.660
 first

00:27:06.660 --> 00:27:07.240
 legalist

00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:08.160
 in the

00:27:08.160 --> 00:27:08.400
 Bible.

00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:09.079
 As you can

00:27:09.079 --> 00:27:09.299
 see in

00:27:09.299 --> 00:27:09.920
 Genesis 2,

00:27:10.019 --> 00:27:10.440
 verse 16

00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:10.879
 and 17,

00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:11.340
 Lord God

00:27:11.340 --> 00:27:11.740
 commanded

00:27:11.740 --> 00:27:11.880
 the

00:27:11.880 --> 00:27:12.260
 man saying,

00:27:12.380 --> 00:27:12.500
 you may

00:27:12.500 --> 00:27:12.680
 surely

00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:13.020
 eat of

00:27:13.020 --> 00:27:13.160
 every

00:27:13.160 --> 00:27:13.340
 tree

00:27:13.340 --> 00:27:13.460
 of

00:27:13.460 --> 00:27:13.560
 the

00:27:13.560 --> 00:27:13.840
 garden,

00:27:14.360 --> 00:27:14.620
 but of

00:27:14.620 --> 00:27:14.720
 the

00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:14.840
 tree

00:27:14.840 --> 00:27:14.940
 of

00:27:14.940 --> 00:27:15.020
 the

00:27:15.020 --> 00:27:15.240
 knowledge

00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:15.360
 of

00:27:15.360 --> 00:27:15.480
 good

00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:15.580
 and

00:27:15.580 --> 00:27:15.760
 evil,

00:27:15.760 --> 00:27:16.000
 you

00:27:16.000 --> 00:27:16.360
 shall

00:27:16.360 --> 00:27:16.580
 not

00:27:16.580 --> 00:27:16.820
 eat,

00:27:16.900 --> 00:27:17.120
 for in

00:27:17.120 --> 00:27:17.400
 the day

00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:17.680
 that you

00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:17.940
 eat of

00:27:17.940 --> 00:27:18.060
 it,

00:27:18.140 --> 00:27:18.600
 you shall

00:27:18.600 --> 00:27:19.520
 surely

00:27:19.520 --> 00:27:20.620
 die.

00:27:20.740 --> 00:27:21.100
 Eve has

00:27:21.100 --> 00:27:21.600
 added this

00:27:21.600 --> 00:27:22.380
 prohibition

00:27:22.380 --> 00:27:22.720
 from

00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:23.380
 touching

00:27:23.380 --> 00:27:25.060
 as well.

00:27:26.420 --> 00:27:26.660
 But the

00:27:26.660 --> 00:27:26.920
 serpent

00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:28.060
 said to

00:27:28.060 --> 00:27:28.460
 the woman,

00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:29.240
 you will

00:27:29.240 --> 00:27:29.560
 not

00:27:29.560 --> 00:27:30.000
 surely

00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:31.140
 die.

00:27:32.460 --> 00:27:32.680
 He

00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:33.780
 tempts

00:27:33.780 --> 00:27:34.320
 Eve to

00:27:34.320 --> 00:27:34.600
 doubt

00:27:34.600 --> 00:27:35.880
 God's

00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:36.340
 goodness,

00:27:37.220 --> 00:27:37.560
 for God

00:27:37.560 --> 00:27:38.180
 knows that

00:27:38.180 --> 00:27:38.420
 when you

00:27:38.420 --> 00:27:38.700
 eat of

00:27:38.700 --> 00:27:38.800
 it,

00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:39.180
 your eyes

00:27:39.180 --> 00:27:39.380
 will be

00:27:39.380 --> 00:27:39.820
 open and

00:27:39.820 --> 00:27:39.980
 you will

00:27:39.980 --> 00:27:40.440
 be like

00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:40.820
 God,

00:27:40.900 --> 00:27:41.160
 knowing

00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:41.700
 good

00:27:41.700 --> 00:27:42.960
 and

00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:43.220
 evil.

00:27:44.660 --> 00:27:45.140
 So,

00:27:45.380 --> 00:27:45.700
 Eve

00:27:45.700 --> 00:27:48.740
 disbelieves

00:27:48.740 --> 00:27:49.840
 God.

00:27:50.280 --> 00:27:50.800
 This is

00:27:50.800 --> 00:27:51.660
 a mental

00:27:51.660 --> 00:27:52.300
 activity

00:27:52.300 --> 00:27:53.360
 that's

00:27:53.360 --> 00:27:53.860
 going on

00:27:53.860 --> 00:27:54.020
 and then

00:27:54.020 --> 00:27:54.260
 we see

00:27:54.260 --> 00:27:54.800
 the results.

00:27:55.020 --> 00:27:55.140
 So,

00:27:55.220 --> 00:27:55.460
 when the

00:27:55.460 --> 00:27:55.980
 woman saw

00:27:55.980 --> 00:27:56.340
 that the

00:27:56.340 --> 00:27:56.660
 tree

00:27:56.660 --> 00:27:58.200
 was good

00:27:58.200 --> 00:27:59.020
 for

00:27:59.020 --> 00:28:00.480
 food,

00:28:01.120 --> 00:28:02.020
 it is

00:28:02.020 --> 00:28:02.560
 objectively

00:28:02.560 --> 00:28:03.220
 not,

00:28:04.060 --> 00:28:04.540
 and that

00:28:04.540 --> 00:28:04.980
 it was a

00:28:04.980 --> 00:28:05.780
 delight to

00:28:05.780 --> 00:28:06.200
 the eyes

00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:06.440
 and that

00:28:06.440 --> 00:28:06.880
 the tree

00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:07.200
 was to

00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:07.340
 be

00:28:07.340 --> 00:28:07.880
 desired

00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:08.400
 to make

00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:08.620
 one

00:28:08.620 --> 00:28:09.060
 wise,

00:28:09.059 --> 00:28:09.619
 she took

00:28:09.619 --> 00:28:10.059
 of its

00:28:10.059 --> 00:28:10.299
 fruit

00:28:10.299 --> 00:28:10.799
 and ate

00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:11.859
 and she

00:28:11.859 --> 00:28:12.339
 also gave

00:28:12.339 --> 00:28:12.679
 some to

00:28:12.679 --> 00:28:13.079
 her husband

00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:13.399
 who was

00:28:13.399 --> 00:28:13.819
 with her

00:28:13.819 --> 00:28:15.099
 and he

00:28:15.099 --> 00:28:15.379
 ate.

00:28:15.700 --> 00:28:16.500
 A failure

00:28:16.500 --> 00:28:17.079
 on both

00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:17.339
 of their

00:28:17.339 --> 00:28:17.839
 parts

00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:18.659
 to let

00:28:18.659 --> 00:28:18.859
 their

00:28:18.859 --> 00:28:19.799
 minds

00:28:19.799 --> 00:28:20.559
 lead

00:28:20.559 --> 00:28:21.339
 and win

00:28:21.339 --> 00:28:22.799
 the day.

00:28:24.419 --> 00:28:24.940
 Second

00:28:24.940 --> 00:28:25.299
 example,

00:28:25.679 --> 00:28:26.059
 let's go to

00:28:26.059 --> 00:28:27.419
 Psalm 73.

00:28:28.539 --> 00:28:29.000
 Turn with

00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:29.259
 me if you

00:28:29.259 --> 00:28:29.359
 will.

00:28:29.419 --> 00:28:30.019
 Psalm 73.

00:28:30.019 --> 00:28:30.079
 Psalm 73.

00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:38.079
 Asaph,

00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:41.679
 one of the

00:28:41.679 --> 00:28:42.119
 Old Testament

00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:42.599
 saints I

00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:42.919
 look forward

00:28:42.919 --> 00:28:43.220
 to meeting

00:28:43.220 --> 00:28:43.659
 someday.

00:28:47.799 --> 00:28:48.599
 And we

00:28:48.599 --> 00:28:48.879
 see a

00:28:48.879 --> 00:28:49.339
 complete

00:28:49.339 --> 00:28:51.139
 arc in

00:28:51.139 --> 00:28:51.799
 this

00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:52.679
 Psalm of

00:28:52.679 --> 00:28:53.399
 his

00:28:53.399 --> 00:28:53.960
 thinking.

00:28:54.359 --> 00:28:55.519
 He feels

00:28:55.519 --> 00:28:56.000
 a way

00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:56.819
 and then

00:28:56.819 --> 00:28:57.000
 he

00:28:57.000 --> 00:28:57.940
 thinks

00:28:57.940 --> 00:28:59.059
 and feels

00:28:59.059 --> 00:28:59.559
 a different

00:28:59.559 --> 00:29:00.079
 way.

00:29:00.740 --> 00:29:01.160
 Starts out

00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:01.380
 in verse

00:29:01.380 --> 00:29:01.579
 1.

00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:01.940
 Truly,

00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:02.779
 God is

00:29:02.779 --> 00:29:03.220
 good to

00:29:03.220 --> 00:29:03.500
 Israel.

00:29:03.599 --> 00:29:04.039
 For me,

00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:04.839
 my feet

00:29:04.839 --> 00:29:06.160
 had almost

00:29:06.160 --> 00:29:06.579
 stumbled.

00:29:06.779 --> 00:29:07.519
 My steps

00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:08.799
 had nearly

00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:10.019
 slipped.

00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:10.279
 And he

00:29:10.279 --> 00:29:10.619
 tells us

00:29:10.619 --> 00:29:11.140
 the story

00:29:11.140 --> 00:29:11.400
 of what

00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:11.720
 happened.

00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:12.079
 For I

00:29:12.079 --> 00:29:12.400
 was

00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:13.460
 envious

00:29:13.460 --> 00:29:14.319
 of the

00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:14.700
 arrogant

00:29:14.700 --> 00:29:15.099
 when I

00:29:15.099 --> 00:29:15.579
 saw the

00:29:15.579 --> 00:29:16.319
 prosperity

00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:17.019
 of the

00:29:17.019 --> 00:29:17.279
 wicked.

00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:18.460
 For they

00:29:18.460 --> 00:29:18.920
 have no

00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:19.359
 pangs

00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:20.099
 until death.

00:29:20.180 --> 00:29:20.319
 Their

00:29:20.319 --> 00:29:20.700
 bodies

00:29:20.700 --> 00:29:21.359
 are fat

00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:22.119
 and

00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:22.519
 sleek.

00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:22.679
 They

00:29:22.679 --> 00:29:22.939
 are not

00:29:22.939 --> 00:29:23.119
 in

00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:23.419
 trouble

00:29:23.419 --> 00:29:23.619
 as

00:29:23.619 --> 00:29:23.879
 others

00:29:23.879 --> 00:29:24.119
 are.

00:29:24.199 --> 00:29:24.279
 They

00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:24.619
 are not

00:29:24.619 --> 00:29:25.119
 stricken

00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:25.519
 like the

00:29:25.519 --> 00:29:25.899
 rest

00:29:25.899 --> 00:29:26.799
 of

00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:27.199
 mankind.

00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:27.959
 Therefore,

00:29:28.459 --> 00:29:29.000
 pride is

00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:29.139
 their

00:29:29.139 --> 00:29:29.479
 necklace.

00:29:29.679 --> 00:29:30.019
 Violence

00:29:30.019 --> 00:29:30.559
 covers

00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:30.839
 them

00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:31.399
 as a

00:29:31.399 --> 00:29:31.759
 garment.

00:29:32.419 --> 00:29:32.559
 Their

00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:32.979
 eyes

00:29:32.979 --> 00:29:33.259
 swell

00:29:33.259 --> 00:29:33.539
 out

00:29:33.539 --> 00:29:33.819
 through

00:29:33.819 --> 00:29:34.759
 fatness,

00:29:35.019 --> 00:29:35.379
 seen as

00:29:35.379 --> 00:29:35.579
 a good

00:29:35.579 --> 00:29:35.839
 thing.

00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:37.259
 Their

00:29:37.259 --> 00:29:37.599
 hearts

00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:38.079
 overflow

00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:38.459
 with

00:29:38.459 --> 00:29:38.879
 follies.

00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:39.099
 They

00:29:39.099 --> 00:29:39.719
 scoff

00:29:39.719 --> 00:29:40.199
 and speak

00:29:40.199 --> 00:29:40.379
 with

00:29:40.379 --> 00:29:40.799
 malice.

00:29:40.959 --> 00:29:41.379
 Loftily

00:29:41.379 --> 00:29:41.579
 they

00:29:41.579 --> 00:29:42.019
 threaten

00:29:42.019 --> 00:29:43.399
 oppression.

00:29:44.059 --> 00:29:44.259
 They

00:29:44.259 --> 00:29:44.659
 set their

00:29:44.659 --> 00:29:45.000
 mouths

00:29:45.000 --> 00:29:45.259
 against

00:29:45.259 --> 00:29:45.459
 the

00:29:45.459 --> 00:29:45.740
 heavens

00:29:45.740 --> 00:29:45.979
 and

00:29:45.979 --> 00:29:46.139
 their

00:29:46.139 --> 00:29:46.439
 tongue

00:29:46.439 --> 00:29:46.459
!

00:29:46.500 --> 00:29:47.039
 struts

00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:47.219
 through

00:29:47.219 --> 00:29:47.379
 the

00:29:47.379 --> 00:29:47.779
 earth.

00:29:48.779 --> 00:29:47.799
!

00:29:48.919 --> 00:29:49.000
!

00:29:49.000 --> 00:30:05.000
 So he

00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:05.920
 observes

00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:06.400
 people who

00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:07.019
 are not

00:30:07.019 --> 00:30:07.640
 following

00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:08.299
 God

00:30:08.299 --> 00:30:08.740
 and they

00:30:08.740 --> 00:30:09.099
 just seem

00:30:09.099 --> 00:30:09.319
 to be

00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:09.539
 doing

00:30:09.539 --> 00:30:10.140
 great.

00:30:10.539 --> 00:30:10.779
 They

00:30:10.779 --> 00:30:10.900
 have

00:30:10.900 --> 00:30:11.160
 favor

00:30:11.160 --> 00:30:11.359
 with

00:30:11.359 --> 00:30:11.480
 the

00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:11.819
 people.

00:30:12.299 --> 00:30:12.759
 Nothing's

00:30:12.759 --> 00:30:12.980
 going

00:30:12.980 --> 00:30:13.359
 bad

00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:13.920
 in

00:30:13.920 --> 00:30:14.059
 their

00:30:14.059 --> 00:30:14.559
 lives

00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:15.579
 at

00:30:15.579 --> 00:30:15.920
 all.

00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:17.279
 And

00:30:17.279 --> 00:30:17.500
 then he

00:30:17.500 --> 00:30:17.880
 says,

00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:18.880
 verse

00:30:18.880 --> 00:30:19.300
 13,

00:30:19.420 --> 00:30:19.760
 all

00:30:19.760 --> 00:30:20.160
 in

00:30:20.160 --> 00:30:20.600
 vain

00:30:20.600 --> 00:30:20.860
 have

00:30:20.860 --> 00:30:21.000
 I

00:30:21.000 --> 00:30:21.220
 kept

00:30:21.220 --> 00:30:21.420
 my

00:30:21.420 --> 00:30:21.680
 heart

00:30:21.680 --> 00:30:22.160
 clean

00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:22.820
 and

00:30:22.820 --> 00:30:23.200
 washed

00:30:23.200 --> 00:30:23.440
 my

00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:23.940
 hands

00:30:23.940 --> 00:30:24.620
 in

00:30:24.620 --> 00:30:25.180
 innocence.

00:30:26.140 --> 00:30:26.440
 For

00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:26.920
 all the

00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:27.060
 day

00:30:27.060 --> 00:30:27.480
 long

00:30:27.480 --> 00:30:28.020
 I

00:30:28.020 --> 00:30:28.240
 have

00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:28.420
 been

00:30:28.420 --> 00:30:29.120
 stricken

00:30:29.120 --> 00:30:30.300
 and

00:30:30.300 --> 00:30:30.980
 rebuked

00:30:30.980 --> 00:30:31.700
 every

00:30:31.700 --> 00:30:32.060
 morning.

00:30:33.020 --> 00:30:33.520
 This

00:30:33.520 --> 00:30:34.440
 is the

00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:34.620
 way

00:30:34.620 --> 00:30:34.940
 that he

00:30:34.940 --> 00:30:35.960
 feels

00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:36.980
 about

00:30:36.980 --> 00:30:37.200
 his

00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:37.700
 pursuit

00:30:37.700 --> 00:30:38.220
 of

00:30:38.220 --> 00:30:38.500
 God,

00:30:38.580 --> 00:30:38.800
 his

00:30:38.800 --> 00:30:39.180
 pursuit

00:30:39.180 --> 00:30:39.380
 of

00:30:39.380 --> 00:30:40.000
 innocence.

00:30:40.200 --> 00:30:40.380
 It's

00:30:40.380 --> 00:30:40.600
 been

00:30:40.600 --> 00:30:40.860
 in

00:30:40.860 --> 00:30:41.460
 vain

00:30:41.460 --> 00:30:42.000
 that

00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:42.180
 I

00:30:42.180 --> 00:30:42.480
 have

00:30:42.480 --> 00:30:43.280
 done

00:30:43.280 --> 00:30:43.740
 this.

00:30:45.020 --> 00:30:45.620
 But

00:30:45.620 --> 00:30:45.800
 verse

00:30:45.800 --> 00:30:46.240
 15,

00:30:46.240 --> 00:30:48.019
 if I

00:30:48.019 --> 00:30:48.220
 had

00:30:48.220 --> 00:30:48.819
 said,

00:30:49.620 --> 00:30:49.839
 I

00:30:49.839 --> 00:30:50.220
 will

00:30:50.220 --> 00:30:50.779
 speak

00:30:50.779 --> 00:30:51.339
 thus,

00:30:51.940 --> 00:30:52.140
 what

00:30:52.140 --> 00:30:52.299
 he's

00:30:52.299 --> 00:30:52.440
 just

00:30:52.440 --> 00:30:52.640
 said.

00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:53.440
 He

00:30:53.440 --> 00:30:53.960
 recognizes

00:30:53.960 --> 00:30:54.299
 that it's

00:30:54.299 --> 00:30:54.480
 not

00:30:54.480 --> 00:30:55.140
 true.

00:30:55.420 --> 00:30:55.579
 It's

00:30:55.579 --> 00:30:55.680
 an

00:30:55.680 --> 00:30:55.859
 evil

00:30:55.859 --> 00:30:56.200
 thing

00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:56.359
 for

00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:56.440
 him

00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:56.559
 to

00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:56.799
 say

00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:57.079
 this

00:30:57.079 --> 00:30:57.380
 and

00:30:57.380 --> 00:30:57.559
 to

00:30:57.559 --> 00:30:57.900
 feel

00:30:57.900 --> 00:30:58.480
 this

00:30:58.480 --> 00:30:58.980
 way.

00:31:00.279 --> 00:31:00.359
 But

00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:00.519
 when

00:31:00.519 --> 00:31:00.680
 I

00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:00.940
 thought

00:31:00.940 --> 00:31:01.200
 how

00:31:01.200 --> 00:31:01.359
 to

00:31:01.359 --> 00:31:01.799
 understand

00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:02.099
 this,

00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:02.259
 it

00:31:02.259 --> 00:31:02.539
 seemed

00:31:02.539 --> 00:31:02.680
 to

00:31:02.680 --> 00:31:02.799
 me

00:31:02.799 --> 00:31:03.079
 a

00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:03.620
 wearisome

00:31:03.620 --> 00:31:04.380
 task.

00:31:04.620 --> 00:31:04.880
 How

00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:05.120
 is it

00:31:05.120 --> 00:31:05.500
 that they

00:31:05.500 --> 00:31:06.019
 prosper

00:31:06.019 --> 00:31:06.480
 and I

00:31:06.480 --> 00:31:07.079
 don't?

00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:07.819
 I'm

00:31:07.819 --> 00:31:07.940
 the

00:31:07.940 --> 00:31:08.099
 one

00:31:08.099 --> 00:31:08.299
 that's

00:31:08.299 --> 00:31:08.599
 pursuing

00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:08.640
!

00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:09.059
 God

00:31:09.059 --> 00:31:09.220
 and

00:31:09.220 --> 00:31:09.500
 they're

00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:09.980
 not?

00:31:11.140 --> 00:31:11.579
 Why

00:31:11.579 --> 00:31:11.920
 am I

00:31:11.920 --> 00:31:12.140
 getting

00:31:12.140 --> 00:31:12.539
 the short

00:31:12.539 --> 00:31:12.960
 end

00:31:12.960 --> 00:31:13.379
 of

00:31:13.379 --> 00:31:13.519
 the

00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:13.819
 stick?

00:31:14.099 --> 00:31:14.740
 Verse 17,

00:31:15.059 --> 00:31:15.440
 until I

00:31:15.440 --> 00:31:15.740
 went

00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:16.399
 into the

00:31:16.399 --> 00:31:16.720
 sanctuary

00:31:16.720 --> 00:31:17.879
 of God.

00:31:18.619 --> 00:31:19.319
 Then I

00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:20.579
 discerned

00:31:20.579 --> 00:31:21.079
 their

00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:22.399
 end.

00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:23.019
 Their

00:31:23.019 --> 00:31:23.420
 end.

00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:23.819
 Then the

00:31:23.819 --> 00:31:24.339
 truth

00:31:24.339 --> 00:31:25.059
 of where

00:31:25.059 --> 00:31:25.659
 they're

00:31:25.659 --> 00:31:26.139
 headed

00:31:26.139 --> 00:31:27.960
 came to

00:31:27.960 --> 00:31:28.240
 light.

00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:29.159
 Truly,

00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:30.440
 you set

00:31:30.440 --> 00:31:30.960
 them in

00:31:30.960 --> 00:31:31.279
 slippery

00:31:31.279 --> 00:31:31.799
 places.

00:31:32.259 --> 00:31:32.659
 You make

00:31:32.659 --> 00:31:33.539
 them fall

00:31:33.539 --> 00:31:34.139
 to ruin.

00:31:34.460 --> 00:31:34.960
 How they

00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:35.779
 are destroyed

00:31:35.779 --> 00:31:36.220
 in a

00:31:36.220 --> 00:31:36.519
 moment,

00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:37.000
 swept

00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:37.379
 away

00:31:37.379 --> 00:31:37.899
 utterly

00:31:37.899 --> 00:31:38.440
 by

00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:39.079
 terrors.

00:31:39.460 --> 00:31:39.879
 Like a

00:31:39.879 --> 00:31:40.359
 dream when

00:31:40.359 --> 00:31:40.799
 one awakes,

00:31:40.899 --> 00:31:41.200
 O Lord,

00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:41.500
 when you

00:31:41.500 --> 00:31:41.839
 rouse

00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:42.220
 yourself,

00:31:42.220 --> 00:31:42.940
 you despise

00:31:42.940 --> 00:31:44.380
 them as

00:31:44.380 --> 00:31:44.960
 phantoms.

00:31:45.640 --> 00:31:46.180
 That's

00:31:46.180 --> 00:31:46.400
 what will

00:31:46.400 --> 00:31:47.339
 happen to

00:31:47.339 --> 00:31:47.660
 them.

00:31:47.819 --> 00:31:47.960
 The

00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:48.299
 truth

00:31:48.299 --> 00:31:49.000
 begins to

00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:50.140
 take its

00:31:50.140 --> 00:31:51.460
 place in

00:31:51.460 --> 00:31:52.079
 his mind.

00:31:53.079 --> 00:31:53.180
 He

00:31:53.180 --> 00:31:53.360
 says,

00:31:53.480 --> 00:31:53.700
 when my

00:31:53.700 --> 00:31:54.299
 soul was

00:31:54.299 --> 00:31:54.880
 embittered,

00:31:54.900 --> 00:31:55.100
 when I

00:31:55.100 --> 00:31:55.579
 was pricked

00:31:55.579 --> 00:31:56.019
 in heart,

00:31:56.240 --> 00:31:56.620
 I was

00:31:56.620 --> 00:31:57.259
 brutish

00:31:57.259 --> 00:31:58.200
 and ignorant.

00:31:58.380 --> 00:31:58.640
 I was

00:31:58.640 --> 00:31:59.220
 like a

00:31:59.220 --> 00:31:59.660
 beast

00:31:59.660 --> 00:32:00.620
 toward

00:32:00.620 --> 00:32:00.960
 you.

00:32:02.420 --> 00:32:02.839
 Nevertheless,

00:32:03.740 --> 00:32:04.799
 even

00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:05.440
 though I

00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:06.299
 let emotions

00:32:06.299 --> 00:32:07.019
 rule the

00:32:07.019 --> 00:32:07.240
 day,

00:32:07.360 --> 00:32:07.700
 nevertheless,

00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:09.400
 I am

00:32:09.400 --> 00:32:10.039
 continually

00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:10.680
 with you.

00:32:10.860 --> 00:32:10.980
 You

00:32:10.980 --> 00:32:11.640
 hold

00:32:11.640 --> 00:32:12.060
 my

00:32:12.060 --> 00:32:12.440
 right

00:32:12.440 --> 00:32:12.900
 hand.

00:32:13.420 --> 00:32:13.500
 You

00:32:13.500 --> 00:32:13.980
 guide

00:32:13.980 --> 00:32:14.160
 me

00:32:14.160 --> 00:32:14.340
 with

00:32:14.340 --> 00:32:14.520
 your

00:32:14.520 --> 00:32:14.980
 counsel

00:32:14.980 --> 00:32:15.460
 and

00:32:15.460 --> 00:32:16.040
 afterward

00:32:16.040 --> 00:32:16.520
 you

00:32:16.520 --> 00:32:16.680
 will

00:32:16.680 --> 00:32:17.080
 receive

00:32:17.080 --> 00:32:17.860
 me

00:32:17.860 --> 00:32:18.800
 to

00:32:18.800 --> 00:32:19.200
 glory.

00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:20.620
 Whom

00:32:20.620 --> 00:32:21.160
 have I

00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:21.980
 in heaven

00:32:21.980 --> 00:32:22.560
 but you?

00:32:23.080 --> 00:32:23.520
 And there

00:32:23.520 --> 00:32:24.220
 is nothing

00:32:24.220 --> 00:32:24.900
 on earth

00:32:24.900 --> 00:32:25.300
 that I

00:32:25.300 --> 00:32:25.800
 desire

00:32:25.800 --> 00:32:26.900
 besides you.

00:32:27.640 --> 00:32:28.080
 My

00:32:28.080 --> 00:32:28.640
 flesh and

00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:28.980
 my heart

00:32:28.980 --> 00:32:29.440
 may fail,

00:32:29.520 --> 00:32:30.020
 but God

00:32:30.020 --> 00:32:30.340
 is the

00:32:30.340 --> 00:32:30.740
 strength of

00:32:30.740 --> 00:32:31.320
 my heart

00:32:31.320 --> 00:32:32.400
 and my

00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:32.920
 portion

00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:34.180
 forever.

00:32:35.120 --> 00:32:35.340
 For

00:32:35.340 --> 00:32:35.660
 behold,

00:32:35.740 --> 00:32:36.080
 those who

00:32:36.080 --> 00:32:36.400
 are far

00:32:36.400 --> 00:32:36.759
 from you

00:32:36.759 --> 00:32:36.960
 shall

00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:37.280
 perish.

00:32:37.420 --> 00:32:37.500
 You

00:32:37.500 --> 00:32:37.800
 put an

00:32:37.800 --> 00:32:38.160
 end to

00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:38.540
 everyone

00:32:38.539 --> 00:32:39.139
 who

00:32:39.139 --> 00:32:39.259
 is

00:32:39.259 --> 00:32:39.700
 unfaithful

00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:39.879
 to

00:32:39.879 --> 00:32:40.139
 you.

00:32:40.759 --> 00:32:40.980
 But

00:32:40.980 --> 00:32:41.200
 for

00:32:41.200 --> 00:32:41.659
 me

00:32:41.659 --> 00:32:42.019
 it

00:32:42.019 --> 00:32:42.139
 is

00:32:42.139 --> 00:32:42.680
 good

00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:43.000
 to

00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:43.399
 be

00:32:43.399 --> 00:32:44.059
 near

00:32:44.059 --> 00:32:44.980
 God.

00:32:45.500 --> 00:32:45.700
 I

00:32:45.700 --> 00:32:45.819
 have

00:32:45.819 --> 00:32:45.960
 made

00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:46.079
 the

00:32:46.079 --> 00:32:46.180
 Lord

00:32:46.180 --> 00:32:46.440
 God

00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:46.619
 my

00:32:46.619 --> 00:32:47.180
 refuge

00:32:47.180 --> 00:32:47.920
 that

00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:48.000
 I

00:32:48.000 --> 00:32:48.119
 may

00:32:48.119 --> 00:32:48.500
 tell

00:32:48.500 --> 00:32:49.240
 of

00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:49.519
 all

00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:50.079
 your

00:32:50.079 --> 00:32:50.480
 works.

00:32:51.480 --> 00:32:51.759
 So

00:32:51.759 --> 00:32:52.099
 see the

00:32:52.099 --> 00:32:52.379
 arc

00:32:52.379 --> 00:32:52.559
 through

00:32:52.559 --> 00:32:52.779
 that,

00:32:52.899 --> 00:32:53.000
 the

00:32:53.000 --> 00:32:53.859
 mindful

00:32:53.859 --> 00:32:54.639
 faith

00:32:54.639 --> 00:32:55.579
 of

00:32:55.579 --> 00:32:56.039
 Asaph.

00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:56.240
 What

00:32:56.240 --> 00:32:56.460
 does he

00:32:56.460 --> 00:32:56.700
 do?

00:32:57.159 --> 00:32:57.399
 He

00:32:57.399 --> 00:32:58.139
 picks up

00:32:58.139 --> 00:32:58.460
 the

00:32:58.460 --> 00:32:58.799
 things

00:32:58.799 --> 00:32:58.940
 that

00:32:58.940 --> 00:32:59.420
 God

00:32:59.420 --> 00:32:59.639
 has

00:32:59.639 --> 00:32:59.879
 said

00:32:59.879 --> 00:33:00.039
 to

00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:00.220
 be

00:33:00.220 --> 00:33:00.839
 true

00:33:00.839 --> 00:33:01.619
 and

00:33:01.619 --> 00:33:01.779
 he

00:33:01.779 --> 00:33:02.220
 meditates

00:33:02.220 --> 00:33:02.220


00:33:02.220 --> 00:33:02.460
 on

00:33:02.460 --> 00:33:02.619
 them

00:33:02.619 --> 00:33:02.799
 and

00:33:02.799 --> 00:33:02.899
 he

00:33:02.899 --> 00:33:02.899


00:33:02.899 --> 00:33:03.079
 let

00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:03.079


00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:03.599
 them

00:33:03.599 --> 00:33:04.379
 lead

00:33:04.379 --> 00:33:05.379
 him

00:33:05.379 --> 00:33:05.659
 out.

00:33:07.079 --> 00:33:07.480
 One

00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:07.619
 more

00:33:07.619 --> 00:33:07.939
 positive

00:33:07.939 --> 00:33:08.279
 example.

00:33:08.439 --> 00:33:08.519
 This

00:33:08.519 --> 00:33:08.619
 is

00:33:08.619 --> 00:33:08.899
 extra

00:33:08.899 --> 00:33:09.179
 biblical.

00:33:09.599 --> 00:33:09.639
 I

00:33:09.639 --> 00:33:10.159
 recognize

00:33:10.159 --> 00:33:10.379
 that

00:33:10.379 --> 00:33:10.639
 some

00:33:10.639 --> 00:33:10.720
 of

00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:10.799
 you

00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:10.960
 don't

00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:11.139
 love

00:33:11.139 --> 00:33:11.359
 this

00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:11.879
 but

00:33:11.879 --> 00:33:12.000
 I

00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:12.220
 do

00:33:12.220 --> 00:33:12.720
 and

00:33:12.720 --> 00:33:12.879
 I

00:33:12.879 --> 00:33:13.019
 have

00:33:13.019 --> 00:33:13.139
 the

00:33:13.139 --> 00:33:13.500
 microphone

00:33:13.500 --> 00:33:13.859
 so

00:33:13.859 --> 00:33:14.039
 bear

00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:14.220
 with

00:33:14.220 --> 00:33:14.379
 me.

00:33:16.579 --> 00:33:17.019
 This

00:33:17.019 --> 00:33:17.119
 is

00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:17.240
 from

00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:17.359
 the

00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:17.720
 Pilgrim's

00:33:17.720 --> 00:33:18.119
 Progress.

00:33:18.399 --> 00:33:18.559
 Again,

00:33:18.599 --> 00:33:18.899
 a work

00:33:18.899 --> 00:33:19.319
 that I

00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:20.000
 commend,

00:33:20.159 --> 00:33:20.319
 commend,

00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:20.740
 commend

00:33:20.740 --> 00:33:21.619
 to

00:33:21.619 --> 00:33:21.839
 you.

00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:21.980
 And

00:33:21.980 --> 00:33:22.079
 in

00:33:22.079 --> 00:33:22.220
 this

00:33:22.220 --> 00:33:22.480
 part

00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:22.639
 of

00:33:22.639 --> 00:33:22.779
 the

00:33:22.779 --> 00:33:23.339
 story,

00:33:24.019 --> 00:33:24.500
 Christian

00:33:24.500 --> 00:33:25.099
 is

00:33:25.099 --> 00:33:25.539
 along

00:33:25.539 --> 00:33:26.339
 on his

00:33:26.339 --> 00:33:26.619
 journey

00:33:26.619 --> 00:33:26.919
 with

00:33:26.919 --> 00:33:27.039
 a

00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:27.220
 man

00:33:27.220 --> 00:33:27.419
 named

00:33:27.419 --> 00:33:28.000
 Hopeful

00:33:28.000 --> 00:33:28.939
 and

00:33:28.939 --> 00:33:29.059
 they

00:33:29.059 --> 00:33:29.199
 have

00:33:29.199 --> 00:33:29.599
 left

00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:33.559
 gone

00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:34.299
 over

00:33:34.299 --> 00:33:34.960
 a

00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:35.179
 little

00:33:35.179 --> 00:33:36.500
 stile

00:33:36.500 --> 00:33:36.980
 into

00:33:36.980 --> 00:33:37.220
 a

00:33:37.220 --> 00:33:37.639
 field.

00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:38.659
 They

00:33:38.659 --> 00:33:39.000
 fall

00:33:39.000 --> 00:33:39.399
 asleep

00:33:39.399 --> 00:33:39.579
 and

00:33:39.579 --> 00:33:39.899
 they're

00:33:39.899 --> 00:33:40.659
 taken

00:33:40.659 --> 00:33:41.139
 captive

00:33:41.139 --> 00:33:41.839
 by a

00:33:41.839 --> 00:33:42.339
 giant

00:33:42.339 --> 00:33:43.039
 named

00:33:43.039 --> 00:33:44.119
 Despair.

00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:45.919
 He

00:33:45.919 --> 00:33:46.319
 takes

00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:46.599
 them,

00:33:46.699 --> 00:33:46.799
 he

00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:47.439
 locks

00:33:47.439 --> 00:33:47.639
 them

00:33:47.639 --> 00:33:47.759
 in

00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:47.879
 the

00:33:47.879 --> 00:33:48.199
 dungeon

00:33:48.199 --> 00:33:48.599
 of

00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:48.759
 his

00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:49.220
 castle

00:33:49.220 --> 00:33:49.599
 called

00:33:49.599 --> 00:33:50.339
 Doubting

00:33:50.339 --> 00:33:51.299
 Castle

00:33:51.299 --> 00:33:51.639
 where

00:33:51.639 --> 00:33:51.879
 he

00:33:51.879 --> 00:33:52.399
 is

00:33:52.399 --> 00:33:52.619
 there

00:33:52.619 --> 00:33:53.619
 with

00:33:53.619 --> 00:33:53.740
 his

00:33:53.740 --> 00:33:54.179
 wife

00:33:54.179 --> 00:33:55.439
 distrust.

00:33:56.399 --> 00:33:56.819
 So

00:33:56.819 --> 00:33:57.799
 there's

00:33:57.799 --> 00:33:57.960
 an

00:33:57.960 --> 00:33:58.859
 anguish

00:33:58.859 --> 00:33:59.199
 going

00:33:59.199 --> 00:33:59.559
 on

00:33:59.559 --> 00:33:59.799
 with

00:33:59.799 --> 00:34:00.259
 Christian

00:34:00.259 --> 00:34:00.619
 and

00:34:00.619 --> 00:34:00.919
 with

00:34:00.919 --> 00:34:01.460
 Hopeful.

00:34:01.599 --> 00:34:01.699
 They're

00:34:01.699 --> 00:34:02.019
 not

00:34:02.019 --> 00:34:02.619
 believing

00:34:02.619 --> 00:34:03.239
 the

00:34:03.239 --> 00:34:03.619
 promises

00:34:03.619 --> 00:34:04.279
 of

00:34:04.279 --> 00:34:04.659
 God

00:34:04.659 --> 00:34:04.919
 and

00:34:04.919 --> 00:34:05.159
 they

00:34:05.159 --> 00:34:05.699
 are

00:34:05.699 --> 00:34:07.299
 despairing.

00:34:07.579 --> 00:34:07.799
 They're

00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:08.039
 in a

00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:09.019
 sorrowful

00:34:09.019 --> 00:34:10.059
 place.

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:10.719
 Their

00:34:10.719 --> 00:34:11.579
 emotions

00:34:11.579 --> 00:34:11.960
 are

00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:12.400
 leading

00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:12.619
 the

00:34:12.619 --> 00:34:13.079
 charge

00:34:13.079 --> 00:34:13.880
 in

00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:14.179
 this

00:34:14.179 --> 00:34:14.940
 little

00:34:14.940 --> 00:34:16.099
 episode.

00:34:17.339 --> 00:34:17.420
 And

00:34:17.420 --> 00:34:17.679
 so

00:34:17.679 --> 00:34:18.219
 time

00:34:18.219 --> 00:34:18.359
 has

00:34:18.359 --> 00:34:18.539
 gone

00:34:18.539 --> 00:34:18.739
 on.

00:34:18.779 --> 00:34:18.859
 I'm

00:34:18.859 --> 00:34:18.940
 going

00:34:18.940 --> 00:34:18.960
 to

00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:19.099
 spare

00:34:19.099 --> 00:34:19.219
 you

00:34:19.219 --> 00:34:19.359
 very

00:34:19.359 --> 00:34:19.559
 much

00:34:19.559 --> 00:34:19.819
 reading

00:34:19.819 --> 00:34:20.139
 of

00:34:20.139 --> 00:34:20.279
 it.

00:34:20.279 --> 00:34:20.639
 But

00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:21.599
 the

00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:21.880
 giant

00:34:21.880 --> 00:34:22.079
 has

00:34:22.079 --> 00:34:22.500
 come

00:34:22.500 --> 00:34:22.799
 and

00:34:22.799 --> 00:34:23.179
 beat

00:34:23.179 --> 00:34:23.559
 them

00:34:23.559 --> 00:34:23.960
 almost

00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:24.139
 to

00:34:24.139 --> 00:34:24.239
 the

00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:24.480
 point

00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:24.639
 of

00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:24.940
 death.

00:34:24.980 --> 00:34:25.079
 And

00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:25.159
 he

00:34:25.159 --> 00:34:25.299
 has

00:34:25.299 --> 00:34:25.579
 promised

00:34:25.579 --> 00:34:25.739
 that

00:34:25.739 --> 00:34:25.900
 he'll

00:34:25.900 --> 00:34:26.259
 now

00:34:26.259 --> 00:34:26.920
 take

00:34:26.920 --> 00:34:27.119
 care

00:34:27.119 --> 00:34:27.259
 of

00:34:27.259 --> 00:34:27.460
 them

00:34:27.460 --> 00:34:27.940
 the

00:34:27.940 --> 00:34:28.299
 following

00:34:28.299 --> 00:34:29.359
 day.

00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:29.559


00:34:29.559 --> 00:34:29.940
 I

00:34:29.940 --> 00:34:30.219
 pick

00:34:30.219 --> 00:34:30.379
 up

00:34:30.379 --> 00:34:30.619
 reading

00:34:30.619 --> 00:34:30.859
 here.

00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:31.219
 Quote,

00:34:31.259 --> 00:34:31.500
 Around

00:34:31.500 --> 00:34:31.939
 midnight,

00:34:32.059 --> 00:34:32.319
 Christian

00:34:32.319 --> 00:34:32.639
 hopeful

00:34:32.639 --> 00:34:33.219
 began to

00:34:33.219 --> 00:34:34.139
 pray and

00:34:34.139 --> 00:34:34.599
 continue

00:34:34.599 --> 00:34:34.839
 till

00:34:34.839 --> 00:34:35.399
 almost

00:34:35.399 --> 00:34:35.599
 the

00:34:35.599 --> 00:34:35.839
 break

00:34:35.839 --> 00:34:36.000
 of

00:34:36.000 --> 00:34:36.339
 day.

00:34:37.379 --> 00:34:37.639
 Shortly

00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:37.939
 before

00:34:37.939 --> 00:34:38.159
 the

00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:38.379
 sun

00:34:38.379 --> 00:34:38.719
 came

00:34:38.719 --> 00:34:38.980
 up,

00:34:39.359 --> 00:34:39.639
 good

00:34:39.639 --> 00:34:40.159
 Christian,

00:34:40.299 --> 00:34:40.679
 as one

00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:41.139
 half

00:34:41.139 --> 00:34:41.739
 amazed,

00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:42.439
 broke

00:34:42.439 --> 00:34:43.039
 out into

00:34:43.039 --> 00:34:43.319
 this

00:34:43.319 --> 00:34:43.879
 passionate

00:34:43.879 --> 00:34:44.719
 speech.

00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:45.859
 What a

00:34:45.859 --> 00:34:46.339
 fool

00:34:46.339 --> 00:34:46.579
 I

00:34:46.579 --> 00:34:46.839
 am

00:34:46.839 --> 00:34:47.019
 to

00:34:47.019 --> 00:34:47.419
 lie

00:34:47.419 --> 00:34:47.559
 in

00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:47.719
 a

00:34:47.719 --> 00:34:48.159
 stinking

00:34:48.159 --> 00:34:48.679
 dungeon

00:34:48.679 --> 00:34:49.239
 when

00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:49.379
 I

00:34:49.379 --> 00:34:49.619
 might

00:34:49.619 --> 00:34:50.339
 instead

00:34:50.339 --> 00:34:50.980
 walk

00:34:50.980 --> 00:34:51.259
 at

00:34:51.259 --> 00:34:51.699
 liberty.

00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:52.859
 I

00:34:52.859 --> 00:34:53.059
 have

00:34:53.059 --> 00:34:53.219
 a

00:34:53.219 --> 00:34:53.599
 key

00:34:53.599 --> 00:34:53.839
 in

00:34:53.839 --> 00:34:54.039
 my

00:34:54.039 --> 00:34:54.339
 bosom

00:34:54.339 --> 00:34:54.739
 called

00:34:54.739 --> 00:34:55.599
 promise

00:34:55.599 --> 00:34:56.519
 that

00:34:56.519 --> 00:34:56.659
 I

00:34:56.659 --> 00:34:57.019
 believe

00:34:57.019 --> 00:34:57.219
 will

00:34:57.219 --> 00:34:57.659
 open

00:34:57.659 --> 00:34:58.159
 any

00:34:58.159 --> 00:34:58.759
 lock

00:34:58.759 --> 00:34:59.179
 in

00:34:59.179 --> 00:34:59.759
 doubting

00:34:59.759 --> 00:35:00.919
 castle.

00:35:01.379 --> 00:35:01.939
 Promise

00:35:01.939 --> 00:35:02.980
 God's

00:35:02.980 --> 00:35:03.579
 word

00:35:03.579 --> 00:35:04.480
 to

00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:04.859
 him.

00:35:05.779 --> 00:35:06.259
 Hopeful

00:35:06.259 --> 00:35:06.879
 responded,

00:35:07.379 --> 00:35:07.759
 that is

00:35:07.759 --> 00:35:08.419
 good news,

00:35:08.519 --> 00:35:08.639
 good

00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:09.000
 brother.

00:35:09.480 --> 00:35:09.799
 Take

00:35:09.799 --> 00:35:10.139
 it out

00:35:10.139 --> 00:35:10.319
 and

00:35:10.319 --> 00:35:10.639
 let's

00:35:10.639 --> 00:35:11.019
 try

00:35:11.019 --> 00:35:11.319
 it.

00:35:12.319 --> 00:35:12.539
 Then

00:35:12.539 --> 00:35:12.819
 Christian

00:35:12.819 --> 00:35:13.119
 pulled

00:35:13.119 --> 00:35:13.379
 it out

00:35:13.379 --> 00:35:13.639
 of his

00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:13.899
 bosom

00:35:13.900 --> 00:35:14.099
 and

00:35:14.099 --> 00:35:14.480
 began

00:35:14.480 --> 00:35:15.180
 trying

00:35:15.180 --> 00:35:15.360
 to

00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:15.760
 unlock

00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:15.980
 the

00:35:15.980 --> 00:35:16.260
 dungeon

00:35:16.260 --> 00:35:16.639
 door.

00:35:17.059 --> 00:35:17.240
 The

00:35:17.240 --> 00:35:17.680
 door's

00:35:17.680 --> 00:35:18.039
 bolt

00:35:18.039 --> 00:35:18.440
 as he

00:35:18.440 --> 00:35:18.680
 turned

00:35:18.680 --> 00:35:18.900
 the

00:35:18.900 --> 00:35:19.119
 key

00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:19.539
 came

00:35:19.539 --> 00:35:19.960
 loose

00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:20.460
 and

00:35:20.460 --> 00:35:20.639
 the

00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:20.940
 door

00:35:20.940 --> 00:35:21.260
 flew

00:35:21.260 --> 00:35:21.820
 open

00:35:21.820 --> 00:35:22.420
 with

00:35:22.420 --> 00:35:23.059
 ease.

00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:24.099
 Christian

00:35:24.099 --> 00:35:24.260
 and

00:35:24.260 --> 00:35:24.559
 hopeful

00:35:24.559 --> 00:35:25.579
 both

00:35:25.579 --> 00:35:26.619
 came

00:35:26.619 --> 00:35:26.940
 out

00:35:26.940 --> 00:35:27.280
 and

00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:27.480
 they're

00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:28.019
 pursued

00:35:28.019 --> 00:35:28.240
 but

00:35:28.240 --> 00:35:28.340
 they

00:35:28.340 --> 00:35:28.539
 make

00:35:28.539 --> 00:35:28.680
 it

00:35:28.680 --> 00:35:29.039
 safely

00:35:29.039 --> 00:35:29.460
 out

00:35:29.460 --> 00:35:30.380
 of

00:35:30.380 --> 00:35:30.700
 doubting

00:35:30.700 --> 00:35:31.200
 castle

00:35:31.200 --> 00:35:32.039
 letting

00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:32.380
 the

00:35:32.380 --> 00:35:33.460
 truth

00:35:33.460 --> 00:35:34.579
 reign

00:35:34.579 --> 00:35:35.539
 in

00:35:35.539 --> 00:35:35.680
 the

00:35:35.680 --> 00:35:36.059
 moment.

00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:38.019
 So

00:35:38.019 --> 00:35:38.619
 a couple

00:35:38.619 --> 00:35:39.019
 of

00:35:39.019 --> 00:35:40.260
 practical

00:35:40.260 --> 00:35:41.559
 steps

00:35:41.559 --> 00:35:42.320
 for

00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:42.579
 to be

00:35:42.579 --> 00:35:43.280
 transformed

00:35:43.280 --> 00:35:43.760
 by

00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:44.540
 the

00:35:44.540 --> 00:35:45.040
 renewing

00:35:45.040 --> 00:35:45.280
 of

00:35:45.280 --> 00:35:45.540
 our

00:35:45.540 --> 00:35:46.420
 minds

00:35:46.420 --> 00:35:46.680
 we

00:35:46.680 --> 00:35:46.800
 are

00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:47.080
 going

00:35:47.080 --> 00:35:47.540
 to

00:35:47.540 --> 00:35:48.260
 need

00:35:48.260 --> 00:35:48.580
 number

00:35:48.580 --> 00:35:49.140
 one

00:35:49.140 --> 00:35:50.320
 to

00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:50.740
 read.

00:35:52.020 --> 00:35:52.500
 I

00:35:52.500 --> 00:35:53.060
 always

00:35:53.060 --> 00:35:53.480
 encourage

00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:54.200
 wide

00:35:54.200 --> 00:35:54.920
 broad

00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:55.340
 reading

00:35:55.340 --> 00:35:55.660
 but

00:35:55.660 --> 00:35:56.440
 primarily

00:35:56.440 --> 00:35:57.060
 we need

00:35:57.060 --> 00:35:57.280
 to be

00:35:57.280 --> 00:35:57.720
 reading

00:35:57.720 --> 00:35:59.000
 God's

00:35:59.000 --> 00:35:59.280
 word.

00:35:59.720 --> 00:36:00.080
 If the

00:36:00.080 --> 00:36:00.440
 spirit

00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:00.640
 of

00:36:00.640 --> 00:36:00.980
 Christ

00:36:00.980 --> 00:36:01.360
 is to

00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:01.680
 take

00:36:01.680 --> 00:36:01.860
 up

00:36:01.860 --> 00:36:02.080
 the

00:36:02.080 --> 00:36:02.500
 word

00:36:02.500 --> 00:36:02.700
 of

00:36:02.700 --> 00:36:03.120
 Christ

00:36:03.120 --> 00:36:03.900
 in

00:36:03.900 --> 00:36:04.060
 our

00:36:04.060 --> 00:36:04.420
 lives

00:36:04.420 --> 00:36:04.640
 it's

00:36:04.640 --> 00:36:04.820
 going

00:36:04.820 --> 00:36:05.020
 to

00:36:05.020 --> 00:36:05.260
 have

00:36:05.260 --> 00:36:05.400
 to

00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:05.680
 be

00:36:05.680 --> 00:36:06.760
 inside

00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:07.400
 of

00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:07.800
 us.

00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:09.040
 Paul

00:36:09.040 --> 00:36:09.260
 says in

00:36:09.260 --> 00:36:09.620
 2 Timothy

00:36:09.620 --> 00:36:09.980

00:36:11.700 --> 00:36:12.480
 is

00:36:12.480 --> 00:36:12.780
 breathed

00:36:12.780 --> 00:36:12.900
 out

00:36:12.900 --> 00:36:13.059
 by

00:36:13.059 --> 00:36:13.360
 God

00:36:13.360 --> 00:36:13.559
 and

00:36:13.559 --> 00:36:14.120
 profitable

00:36:14.120 --> 00:36:14.480
 for

00:36:14.480 --> 00:36:14.880
 teaching

00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:15.120
 for

00:36:15.120 --> 00:36:15.660
 reproof

00:36:15.660 --> 00:36:15.900
 for

00:36:15.900 --> 00:36:16.480
 correction

00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:17.200
 and

00:36:17.200 --> 00:36:17.360
 for

00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:17.760
 training

00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:17.980
 in

00:36:17.980 --> 00:36:18.400
 righteousness

00:36:18.400 --> 00:36:18.680
 that

00:36:18.680 --> 00:36:18.860
 the

00:36:18.860 --> 00:36:19.160
 man

00:36:19.160 --> 00:36:19.320
 of

00:36:19.320 --> 00:36:19.640
 God

00:36:19.640 --> 00:36:19.920
 may

00:36:19.920 --> 00:36:20.280
 be

00:36:20.280 --> 00:36:21.140
 complete

00:36:21.140 --> 00:36:22.200
 equipped

00:36:22.200 --> 00:36:22.800
 for

00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:23.300
 every

00:36:23.300 --> 00:36:24.079
 good

00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:25.120
 work.

00:36:26.120 --> 00:36:26.660
 How are we

00:36:26.660 --> 00:36:27.140
 to navigate

00:36:27.140 --> 00:36:28.460
 the challenges

00:36:28.460 --> 00:36:28.800
 of this

00:36:28.800 --> 00:36:29.180
 world?

00:36:29.539 --> 00:36:30.000
 How are we

00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:30.240
 to do

00:36:30.240 --> 00:36:31.320
 anything?

00:36:32.019 --> 00:36:32.920
 By the

00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:33.440
 truth that

00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:33.680
 God

00:36:33.680 --> 00:36:34.280
 provides

00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:34.880
 for us.

00:36:35.059 --> 00:36:35.660
 The spirit

00:36:35.659 --> 00:36:36.379
 employing

00:36:36.379 --> 00:36:36.599
 it

00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:37.779
 in

00:36:37.779 --> 00:36:37.920
 our

00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:38.279
 lives.

00:36:39.279 --> 00:36:39.599
 I

00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:39.899
 said at

00:36:39.899 --> 00:36:40.000
 the

00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:40.219
 beginning

00:36:40.219 --> 00:36:40.359
 of

00:36:40.359 --> 00:36:40.480
 our

00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:40.679
 time

00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:41.019
 together

00:36:41.019 --> 00:36:41.239
 that

00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:41.359
 in

00:36:41.359 --> 00:36:41.539
 an

 moral

00:36:43.460 --> 00:36:44.079
 relativism

00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:44.839
 we

00:36:44.839 --> 00:36:45.179
 find

00:36:45.179 --> 00:36:45.619
 ourselves

00:36:45.619 --> 00:36:46.279
 particularly

00:36:46.279 --> 00:36:46.980
 susceptible

00:36:46.980 --> 00:36:47.399
 to the

00:36:47.399 --> 00:36:47.920
 temptation

00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:48.539
 of allowing

00:36:48.539 --> 00:36:48.799
 our

00:36:48.799 --> 00:36:49.440
 passions

00:36:49.440 --> 00:36:50.159
 to lead

00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:50.339
 the

00:36:50.339 --> 00:36:50.819
 charge

00:36:50.819 --> 00:36:51.019
 in

00:36:51.019 --> 00:36:51.440
 directing

00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:52.779
 our

00:36:52.779 --> 00:36:53.219
 lives.

00:36:53.779 --> 00:36:54.480
 This

00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:54.699
 just

00:36:54.699 --> 00:36:55.139
 shouldn't

00:36:55.139 --> 00:36:56.399
 be so.

 My

00:37:04.099 --> 00:37:04.659
 feelings

00:37:04.659 --> 00:37:05.239
 are

00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:05.699
 not

00:37:07.059 --> 00:37:07.420
 God

00:37:07.420 --> 00:37:07.599
 is

00:37:11.500 --> 00:37:11.819
 God's

00:37:11.819 --> 00:37:12.139
 word

00:37:12.139 --> 00:37:12.679

 echoes

00:37:15.679 --> 00:37:16.000
 and

 responses

00:37:16.739 --> 00:37:17.059
 to

00:37:17.059 --> 00:37:17.199
 what

00:37:17.799 --> 00:37:18.659

00:37:19.460 --> 00:37:19.559
 And

00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:20.219
 sometimes,

00:37:20.380 --> 00:37:20.900
 many

00:37:20.900 --> 00:37:21.339
 times,

00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:25.299
 When

00:37:25.299 --> 00:37:25.480
 that

00:37:25.480 --> 00:37:26.039
 happens,

00:37:26.420 --> 00:37:26.880
 and it

00:37:26.880 --> 00:37:27.159
 happens

00:37:27.159 --> 00:37:27.420
 every

 day

00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:27.900

 my

00:37:33.579 --> 00:37:33.679

00:37:33.679 --> 00:37:34.079
 rather,

00:37:34.259 --> 00:37:34.360
 I

00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:34.739
 plead

 with

00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:35.460
 God,

00:37:36.280 --> 00:37:36.800
 purify

00:37:36.800 --> 00:37:37.159
 my

 just

00:37:53.679 --> 00:37:54.780
 pains

00:37:54.780 --> 00:37:54.980
 me

00:37:54.980 --> 00:37:55.199
 deep

 down

00:37:59.460 --> 00:38:01.059
 I

00:38:01.059 --> 00:38:01.179
 am

00:38:01.179 --> 00:38:01.460
 sure

00:38:01.460 --> 00:38:01.699
 that

00:38:01.699 --> 00:38:01.780
 I

00:38:01.780 --> 00:38:01.860
 am

00:38:01.860 --> 00:38:02.240
 speaking

00:38:02.240 --> 00:38:03.500
 to

00:38:03.500 --> 00:38:03.619
 an

00:38:05.619 --> 00:38:05.740
 but

00:38:05.740 --> 00:38:06.400
 perhaps

00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:06.619
 this

00:38:06.619 --> 00:38:06.740
 is

00:38:06.740 --> 00:38:06.940
 true

00:38:06.940 --> 00:38:07.079
 of

 us

00:38:07.220 --> 00:38:07.380

00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:09.260

00:38:09.260 --> 00:38:09.619
 measure.

00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:10.760
 That's

00:38:10.760 --> 00:38:11.039
 three

00:38:11.039 --> 00:38:11.380
 hours

00:38:12.740 --> 00:38:13.139
 spent

00:38:13.139 --> 00:38:14.420
 unnecessarily

00:38:14.420 --> 00:38:15.420
 in front

00:38:17.019 --> 00:38:17.500
 Not

00:38:17.500 --> 00:38:18.019
 all bad,

00:38:18.159 --> 00:38:18.420
 I'm not

00:38:18.420 --> 00:38:18.740
 saying that

00:38:18.740 --> 00:38:19.000
 all of

00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:19.220
 that is

00:38:19.220 --> 00:38:19.659
 bad,

00:38:19.900 --> 00:38:20.400
 wasted

00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:20.860
 time,

00:38:20.980 --> 00:38:21.079
 but

00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:21.400
 that's

00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:22.220
 a lot

00:38:22.220 --> 00:38:22.420
 of

00:38:22.420 --> 00:38:22.840
 time.

00:38:22.840 --> 00:38:24.460
 For

00:38:24.460 --> 00:38:24.760
 further

00:38:24.760 --> 00:38:25.340
 perspective,

00:38:26.180 --> 00:38:26.400
 that's

00:38:41.940 --> 00:38:42.079
 didn't

00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:42.200
 do

00:38:42.200 --> 00:38:42.360
 the

00:38:42.360 --> 00:38:42.640
 math,

00:38:42.700 --> 00:38:42.780
 but

00:38:42.780 --> 00:38:42.880
 you

00:38:42.880 --> 00:38:43.019
 should

00:38:43.019 --> 00:38:43.320
 divide

00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:43.519
 that

00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:43.680
 by

00:38:43.680 --> 00:38:44.160
 365

00:38:44.160 --> 00:38:44.600
 and

00:38:44.600 --> 00:38:44.740
 see

00:38:44.740 --> 00:38:44.900
 how

00:38:44.900 --> 00:38:45.100
 many

00:38:45.100 --> 00:38:46.059
 days

00:38:46.059 --> 00:38:46.320
 that

00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:46.720
 is.

00:38:48.180 --> 00:38:48.420
 Now

00:38:48.420 --> 00:38:48.519
 it

00:38:48.519 --> 00:38:48.960
 takes

00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:49.519
 on

00:38:49.519 --> 00:38:50.280
 average

00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:50.620
 an

00:38:50.620 --> 00:38:51.160
 individual

00:38:51.160 --> 00:38:52.180
 78

00:38:52.179 --> 00:38:52.859
 hours

00:38:52.859 --> 00:38:53.219
 to

00:38:53.219 --> 00:38:53.460
 read

00:38:53.460 --> 00:38:53.619
 the

00:38:53.619 --> 00:38:54.139
 entirety

00:38:54.139 --> 00:38:54.519
 of

00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:54.659
 the

00:38:54.659 --> 00:38:54.980
 Bible.

00:38:55.859 --> 00:38:56.379
 Which

00:38:56.379 --> 00:38:56.719
 means

00:38:56.719 --> 00:38:56.879
 that

00:38:56.879 --> 00:38:56.960
 if

00:38:56.960 --> 00:38:57.079
 the

00:38:57.079 --> 00:38:57.359
 average

00:38:57.359 --> 00:38:57.739

00:38:59.199 --> 00:38:59.419

00:39:00.019 --> 00:39:00.199
 I'm not

00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:00.379
 saying

00:39:00.379 --> 00:39:01.299
 you need

00:39:01.299 --> 00:39:01.539
 to do

00:39:01.539 --> 00:39:01.819
 that,

00:39:01.940 --> 00:39:02.019
 but

00:39:02.019 --> 00:39:02.119
 if

00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:02.559
 you did

00:39:02.559 --> 00:39:03.139
 with

00:39:03.139 --> 00:39:03.399
 Bible

00:39:03.399 --> 00:39:03.759
 reading,

00:39:04.099 --> 00:39:04.379
 you could

00:39:04.379 --> 00:39:04.699
 read the

00:39:04.699 --> 00:39:05.000
 whole

00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:05.419
 Bible

00:39:05.419 --> 00:39:05.899
 a bit

00:39:05.899 --> 00:39:06.179
 more

00:39:06.179 --> 00:39:06.359
 than

 17

00:39:06.919 --> 00:39:07.619

00:39:07.619 --> 00:39:07.879

00:39:09.919 --> 00:39:10.399
 We

00:39:10.399 --> 00:39:11.319
 have

00:39:11.319 --> 00:39:12.579
 time

00:39:12.579 --> 00:39:13.259

00:39:13.419 --> 00:39:13.960
 God's

00:39:13.960 --> 00:39:15.019
 word.

00:39:16.460 --> 00:39:16.980
 Ready

00:39:16.980 --> 00:39:17.279
 for another

00:39:17.279 --> 00:39:17.500
 one?

00:39:18.379 --> 00:39:18.579
 The

00:39:18.579 --> 00:39:18.739
 average

00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:20.719

00:39:21.539 --> 00:39:22.000
 out,

00:39:22.619 --> 00:39:22.900
 including

00:39:22.900 --> 00:39:23.259

00:39:23.480 --> 00:39:23.800
 warm-up,

00:39:24.139 --> 00:39:24.559
 cool-down.

00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:25.519
 That's

00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:26.099
 608

00:39:26.099 --> 00:39:26.460

00:39:28.159 --> 00:39:28.259
 which

00:39:28.259 --> 00:39:28.340
 is

00:39:28.340 --> 00:39:28.559
 enough

00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:28.820
 time

00:39:28.820 --> 00:39:28.980
 to

 read

00:39:29.179 --> 00:39:29.340
 the

00:39:29.639 --> 00:39:29.820

00:39:29.820 --> 00:39:29.920
 the

00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:30.179
 Bible

00:39:30.179 --> 00:39:31.159
 almost

00:39:31.159 --> 00:39:31.940
 eight

00:39:31.940 --> 00:39:33.159
 times.

00:39:34.159 --> 00:39:34.659
 Don't

00:39:34.659 --> 00:39:34.900
 stop

00:39:34.900 --> 00:39:35.300
 taking care

00:39:35.300 --> 00:39:35.460
 of your

00:39:35.460 --> 00:39:35.739
 bodies.

00:39:35.980 --> 00:39:36.219
 That's a

00:39:36.219 --> 00:39:36.460
 good

00:39:36.460 --> 00:39:37.239
 thing to

00:39:37.239 --> 00:39:37.480
 do,

00:39:37.659 --> 00:39:37.820
 but

00:39:37.820 --> 00:39:38.420
 we

00:39:38.420 --> 00:39:38.960
 have

00:39:38.960 --> 00:39:40.039
 time.

00:39:40.219 --> 00:39:40.219


00:39:40.219 --> 00:39:40.659
 Paul

00:39:40.659 --> 00:39:40.960
 says in

00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:41.340
 1 Timothy

00:39:41.340 --> 00:39:41.619
 4,

00:39:41.679 --> 00:39:41.860
 8,

00:39:41.860 --> 00:39:42.539
 God

00:39:42.539 --> 00:39:42.940
 is

00:39:42.940 --> 00:39:43.019
 of

00:39:43.019 --> 00:39:43.280
 some

00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:43.700
 value.

00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:44.519
 God

00:39:44.519 --> 00:39:44.820
 is

00:39:44.820 --> 00:39:45.039
 of

00:39:45.039 --> 00:39:45.280
 value

00:39:45.280 --> 00:39:45.539
 in

00:39:45.539 --> 00:39:46.320
 every

00:39:46.320 --> 00:39:47.099
 way

00:39:47.099 --> 00:39:47.900
 as

00:39:47.900 --> 00:39:48.000
 it

00:39:48.000 --> 00:39:48.180
 holds

00:39:48.180 --> 00:39:48.900
 promise

00:39:48.900 --> 00:39:49.400
 for

00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:49.559
 the

00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:49.880
 present

00:39:49.880 --> 00:39:50.260
 life

00:39:50.260 --> 00:39:50.420
 and

00:39:50.420 --> 00:39:50.900
 also

00:39:50.900 --> 00:39:51.360
 for

00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:52.360
 the

00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:52.760
 life

00:39:52.760 --> 00:39:53.420
 to

00:39:53.420 --> 00:39:53.740
 come.

00:39:53.740 --> 00:39:54.300
 We

00:39:54.300 --> 00:39:54.539
 need to

00:39:54.539 --> 00:39:54.800
 be

00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:55.980
 regular

00:39:55.980 --> 00:39:56.740
 readers

00:39:56.740 --> 00:39:57.300
 of God's

00:39:57.300 --> 00:39:57.519
 word.

00:39:57.620 --> 00:39:57.660
 We

00:39:57.660 --> 00:39:57.840
 need to

00:39:57.840 --> 00:39:58.180
 take it

00:39:58.180 --> 00:39:58.460
 in

00:39:58.460 --> 00:39:58.760
 in

00:39:58.760 --> 00:39:59.440
 high

00:39:59.440 --> 00:39:59.900
 amounts

00:39:59.900 --> 00:40:00.420
 again,

00:40:00.740 --> 00:40:01.240
 again,

00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:02.280
 again.

00:40:02.400 --> 00:40:02.500
 We

00:40:02.500 --> 00:40:02.579
 are

00:40:02.579 --> 00:40:02.780
 to be

00:40:02.780 --> 00:40:03.180
 people

00:40:03.180 --> 00:40:03.700
 of

00:40:03.700 --> 00:40:04.380
 this

00:40:04.380 --> 00:40:05.079
 word,

00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:05.480
 right?

00:40:06.059 --> 00:40:06.660
 Arm

00:40:06.660 --> 00:40:06.860
 the

00:40:06.860 --> 00:40:07.120
 spirit

00:40:07.120 --> 00:40:07.340
 in

00:40:07.340 --> 00:40:07.460
 your

00:40:07.460 --> 00:40:07.800
 life

00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:07.980
 to

00:40:07.980 --> 00:40:08.260
 take

00:40:08.260 --> 00:40:08.400
 it

00:40:08.400 --> 00:40:08.720
 up

00:40:08.720 --> 00:40:09.039
 and

00:40:09.039 --> 00:40:09.200
 give

00:40:09.200 --> 00:40:09.280
 it

00:40:09.280 --> 00:40:09.840
 application.

00:40:09.840 --> 00:40:11.360
 Almost

00:40:11.360 --> 00:40:11.880
 all

00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:12.019
 of

00:40:12.019 --> 00:40:12.120
 the

00:40:12.120 --> 00:40:12.500
 counseling

00:40:12.500 --> 00:40:12.760
 I

00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:13.019
 do

00:40:13.019 --> 00:40:13.400
 in

00:40:13.400 --> 00:40:13.559
 this

00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:13.940
 church,

00:40:14.120 --> 00:40:14.340
 not

00:40:14.340 --> 00:40:14.579
 all,

00:40:14.940 --> 00:40:15.160
 but

00:40:15.160 --> 00:40:15.579
 almost

00:40:15.579 --> 00:40:15.780
 all

00:40:15.780 --> 00:40:15.920
 the

00:40:15.920 --> 00:40:16.220
 counseling

00:40:16.220 --> 00:40:16.400
 I

00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:16.539
 do

00:40:16.539 --> 00:40:16.640
 in

00:40:16.640 --> 00:40:16.760
 this

00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:16.960
 church

00:40:16.960 --> 00:40:17.500
 begins

00:40:17.500 --> 00:40:17.900
 with

00:40:17.900 --> 00:40:18.700
 how's

00:40:18.700 --> 00:40:18.800
 your

00:40:18.800 --> 00:40:19.019
 Bible

00:40:19.019 --> 00:40:19.300
 reading?

00:40:19.980 --> 00:40:20.380
 And

00:40:20.380 --> 00:40:20.720
 very

00:40:20.720 --> 00:40:21.140
 often

00:40:21.140 --> 00:40:21.420
 it's

00:40:21.420 --> 00:40:21.620
 not

00:40:21.620 --> 00:40:21.920
 going

00:40:21.920 --> 00:40:22.200
 too

00:40:22.200 --> 00:40:22.559
 well.

00:40:23.019 --> 00:40:23.380
 Somebody's

00:40:23.380 --> 00:40:23.820
 not

00:40:23.820 --> 00:40:24.280
 spending

00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:24.519
 much

00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:24.860
 time

00:40:24.860 --> 00:40:25.660
 with

00:40:25.660 --> 00:40:25.800
 the

00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:26.019
 Lord

00:40:26.019 --> 00:40:26.620
 in

00:40:26.620 --> 00:40:26.740
 his

00:40:26.740 --> 00:40:26.980
 word.

00:40:27.860 --> 00:40:28.200
 So

00:40:28.200 --> 00:40:28.300
 we

00:40:28.300 --> 00:40:28.420
 need

00:40:28.420 --> 00:40:28.559
 to

00:40:28.559 --> 00:40:28.900
 read

00:40:28.900 --> 00:40:29.000
 it.

00:40:29.120 --> 00:40:29.240
 Not

00:40:29.240 --> 00:40:29.460
 only

00:40:29.460 --> 00:40:29.680
 that

00:40:29.680 --> 00:40:29.860
 though,

00:40:29.940 --> 00:40:30.019
 we

00:40:30.019 --> 00:40:30.280
 also

00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:30.539
 need

00:40:30.539 --> 00:40:30.860
 to

00:40:30.860 --> 00:40:31.660
 reflect

00:40:31.660 --> 00:40:31.980
 upon

00:40:31.980 --> 00:40:32.240
 it.

00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:32.820
 Every

00:40:32.820 --> 00:40:33.039
 single

00:40:33.039 --> 00:40:33.180
 one

00:40:33.180 --> 00:40:33.280
 of

00:40:33.280 --> 00:40:33.480
 us,

00:40:33.600 --> 00:40:33.760
 myself

00:40:39.840 --> 00:40:40.000
 whatever

00:40:40.000 --> 00:40:40.180
 is

00:40:40.180 --> 00:40:40.420
 going

00:40:40.420 --> 00:40:40.760
 on

00:40:40.760 --> 00:40:41.140
 in

00:40:41.140 --> 00:40:41.340
 our

00:40:41.340 --> 00:40:41.900
 lives.

00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:42.200
 It

00:40:42.200 --> 00:40:42.360
 must

00:40:42.360 --> 00:40:42.500
 be

00:40:42.500 --> 00:40:42.700
 something

00:40:42.700 --> 00:40:42.940
 that

00:40:42.940 --> 00:40:43.280
 is

00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:43.800
 active

00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:44.760
 inside

00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:44.940
 of

00:40:44.940 --> 00:40:45.260
 us.

 surpasses

00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:40.940
 all

00:42:40.940 --> 00:42:41.380
 understanding

00:42:41.380 --> 00:42:41.579

 Jesus

00:42:44.159 --> 00:42:45.860
 finally

00:42:45.860 --> 00:42:46.280
 brothers

00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:47.139
 whatever

00:42:47.139 --> 00:42:47.380
 is

00:42:47.380 --> 00:42:47.840
 true

00:42:47.840 --> 00:42:48.860
 whatever

00:42:48.860 --> 00:42:49.099
 is

00:42:49.099 --> 00:42:49.559
 honorable

00:42:49.559 --> 00:42:50.480
 whatever

00:42:50.480 --> 00:42:50.699
 is

00:42:50.699 --> 00:42:51.260
 just

00:42:51.260 --> 00:42:52.199
 whatever

00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:52.420
 is

00:42:52.420 --> 00:42:52.840
 pure

00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:53.099
 whatever

00:42:57.500 --> 00:42:57.679
 if there

00:42:57.679 --> 00:42:57.820
 is

00:42:57.820 --> 00:42:58.480
 anything

00:42:58.480 --> 00:42:59.539
 worthy

00:42:59.539 --> 00:43:00.440
 of

00:43:00.440 --> 00:43:01.079
 praise

00:43:01.079 --> 00:43:01.980
 think

00:43:01.980 --> 00:43:02.659
 about

00:43:02.659 --> 00:43:03.820
 these

00:43:03.820 --> 00:43:05.139
 things

00:43:05.139 --> 00:43:06.400
 this is

00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:06.719
 what should

00:43:06.719 --> 00:43:07.639
 occupy

00:43:07.639 --> 00:43:09.360
 our minds

00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:09.619
 and I

00:43:09.619 --> 00:43:10.019
 would challenge

00:43:10.019 --> 00:43:10.400
 you to

00:43:10.400 --> 00:43:10.780
 take

00:43:10.780 --> 00:43:11.840
 to take

00:43:11.840 --> 00:43:13.840
 that list

00:43:13.840 --> 00:43:14.480
 and run

00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:14.960
 the things

00:43:14.960 --> 00:43:15.239
 that you're

00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:15.659
 spending your

00:43:15.659 --> 00:43:16.519
 mind on

00:43:16.519 --> 00:43:17.380
 through that

00:43:17.380 --> 00:43:17.719
 list

00:43:17.719 --> 00:43:18.059
 and see

00:43:18.059 --> 00:43:18.440
 what comes

00:43:18.440 --> 00:43:18.739
 out the

00:43:18.739 --> 00:43:18.920
 other

00:43:18.920 --> 00:43:19.239
 side

00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:20.059
 I

00:43:20.059 --> 00:43:20.300
 hope

00:43:20.300 --> 00:43:20.619
 lots

00:43:20.619 --> 00:43:20.760
 of

00:43:20.760 --> 00:43:21.019
 good

00:43:21.019 --> 00:43:21.519
 stuff

00:43:21.519 --> 00:43:22.719
 perhaps

00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:22.960
 there's

00:43:22.960 --> 00:43:23.099
 some

00:43:23.099 --> 00:43:23.340
 things

00:43:23.340 --> 00:43:23.639
 we need

00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:23.780
 to

00:43:23.780 --> 00:43:23.980
 turn

00:43:23.980 --> 00:43:24.139
 our

00:43:24.139 --> 00:43:24.460
 attention

00:43:24.460 --> 00:43:24.780
 away

00:43:24.780 --> 00:43:25.159
 from

00:43:25.159 --> 00:43:25.739
 that

00:43:25.739 --> 00:43:25.840
 we

00:43:25.840 --> 00:43:26.059
 might

00:43:26.059 --> 00:43:26.619
 turn

00:43:26.619 --> 00:43:27.179
 ourselves

00:43:27.179 --> 00:43:28.199
 to

00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:28.559
 God's

00:43:28.559 --> 00:43:28.960
 word

00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:29.279
 and

00:43:29.279 --> 00:43:30.179
 rest

00:43:30.179 --> 00:43:31.099
 within

00:43:31.099 --> 00:43:31.419
 it

00:43:31.419 --> 00:43:32.980
 so

00:43:32.980 --> 00:43:33.199
 Paul

00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:33.419
 says

00:43:33.419 --> 00:43:33.539
 I

00:43:33.539 --> 00:43:33.940
 appeal

00:43:33.940 --> 00:43:34.119
 to

00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:34.259
 you

00:43:34.259 --> 00:43:34.659
 therefore

00:43:34.659 --> 00:43:36.039
 by

00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:36.219
 the

00:43:36.219 --> 00:43:36.859
 mercies

00:43:36.859 --> 00:43:37.019
 of

00:43:37.019 --> 00:43:37.399
 God

00:43:37.399 --> 00:43:38.679
 present

00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:39.000
 your

00:43:39.000 --> 00:43:39.379
 whole

00:43:39.379 --> 00:43:39.859
 self

00:43:39.859 --> 00:43:40.539
 your

 whole

00:43:40.819 --> 00:43:41.159
 self

00:43:41.159 --> 00:43:41.440
 as a

00:43:41.440 --> 00:43:42.219
 continual

00:43:42.219 --> 00:43:43.519
 sacrifice

00:43:43.519 --> 00:43:43.859
 to

00:43:43.859 --> 00:43:44.199
 God

00:43:44.199 --> 00:43:44.859
 holy

00:43:44.859 --> 00:43:45.079
 and

00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:45.519
 acceptable

00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:45.819
 which

00:43:45.819 --> 00:43:46.219
 is

00:43:46.219 --> 00:43:47.119
 your

00:43:47.119 --> 00:43:48.199
 spiritual

00:43:48.199 --> 00:43:49.119
 reasonable

00:43:49.119 --> 00:43:50.339
 worship

00:43:50.339 --> 00:43:51.480
 do not

00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:51.619
 be

00:43:51.619 --> 00:43:52.139
 conformed

00:43:52.139 --> 00:43:52.219
 to

00:43:52.219 --> 00:43:52.399
 this

00:43:52.399 --> 00:43:52.619
 world

00:43:52.619 --> 00:43:52.779
 but

00:43:52.779 --> 00:43:52.960
 be

00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:53.719
 transformed

00:43:53.719 --> 00:43:54.239
 by

00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:54.399
 the

00:43:54.399 --> 00:43:54.819
 renewal

00:43:54.819 --> 00:43:55.219
 of

00:43:55.219 --> 00:43:55.339
 your

00:43:55.339 --> 00:43:55.819
 mind

00:43:55.820 --> 00:43:56.660
 that

00:43:56.660 --> 00:43:56.820
 by

00:43:56.820 --> 00:43:57.320
 testing

00:43:57.320 --> 00:43:57.519
 you

00:43:57.519 --> 00:43:57.660
 may

00:43:57.660 --> 00:43:58.100
 discern

00:43:58.100 --> 00:43:58.340
 what

00:43:58.340 --> 00:43:58.460
 is

00:43:58.460 --> 00:43:58.620
 the

00:43:58.620 --> 00:43:58.800
 will

00:43:58.800 --> 00:43:58.940
 of

00:43:58.940 --> 00:43:59.160
 God

00:43:59.160 --> 00:43:59.320
 what

00:43:59.320 --> 00:43:59.440
 is

00:43:59.440 --> 00:43:59.800
 good

00:43:59.800 --> 00:44:00.620
 and

00:44:00.620 --> 00:44:01.140
 acceptable

00:44:01.140 --> 00:44:02.620
 and

00:44:02.620 --> 00:44:02.980
 perfect

00:44:02.980 --> 00:44:03.220
 and

00:44:03.220 --> 00:44:03.320
 I

00:44:03.320 --> 00:44:03.420
 will

00:44:03.420 --> 00:44:03.660
 tell

00:44:03.660 --> 00:44:03.900
 you

00:44:03.900 --> 00:44:04.180
 that

00:44:04.180 --> 00:44:04.300
 I

00:44:04.300 --> 00:44:04.480
 don't

00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:05.019
 believe

00:44:05.019 --> 00:44:05.260
 that

00:44:05.260 --> 00:44:05.460
 this

00:44:05.460 --> 00:44:05.680
 is

00:44:05.680 --> 00:44:06.059
 some

00:44:06.059 --> 00:44:06.300
 kind

00:44:06.300 --> 00:44:06.440
 of

00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:06.940
 formula

00:44:06.940 --> 00:44:07.760
 for

 figuring

00:44:08.180 --> 00:44:08.519
 out

00:44:08.519 --> 00:44:08.700
 the

00:44:08.700 --> 00:44:08.900
 hidden

00:44:08.900 --> 00:44:09.080
 will

00:44:09.080 --> 00:44:09.220
 of
