WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.220
 Well, good morning. I hope you have a copy of God's Word with you today.

00:00:02.220 --> 00:00:05.900
 If you do, please join me in 2 Timothy chapter 3.

00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:23.300
 Two weeks ago now, I began preaching a series of sermons, which is not a thing we do normatively here, expressing our need to build a resilient church culture.

00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:39.380
 The first week was an overview, at which time I made the case that we live in days of growing, soft totalitarianism, particularly concerning anthropology, how we came to be, why we exist, etc.

00:00:40.519 --> 00:00:49.299
 This is largely a problem concerning the very definition of mankind, and it is making inroads into our culture at a sweeping pace.

00:00:49.299 --> 00:00:53.739
 I think perhaps you all know already what I've been talking about.

00:00:54.479 --> 00:01:05.560
 There's going to be a pressure felt against Orthodox Christianity already being felt, but being felt in greater measure than I believe ever before in this country.

00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:11.120
 If you haven't heard the past two sermons, I think you'll be well helped by listening to their recordings.

00:01:11.219 --> 00:01:15.259
 For the sake of time, I can't rebuild each case as we're doing this.

00:01:15.859 --> 00:01:17.840
 You should be able to find those on the website.

00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:22.380
 But each week, I've begun with three prerequisite statements.

00:01:22.900 --> 00:01:25.240
 Of course, I could say that correctly, prerequisite statements.

00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:28.760
 And I think that they bear repeating once again.

00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:33.120
 So I'm going to do these three things quickly before we get to the topic for today.

00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:37.920
 Number one, as a general practice, we preach expositional sermons.

00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:44.320
 Most simply put, this means that we take for the sermons point or points the main point or points of that week's text.

00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.759
 We typically preach verse-by-verse exposition.

00:01:48.559 --> 00:01:52.759
 And I'm looking forward in the fall to get started on the book of Romans with you.

00:01:53.579 --> 00:01:59.919
 We want to be especially careful not to read into a text what we want the text to say.

00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.239
 This is called eisegesis, right?

00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:03.799
 We want to exegete the text.

00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:08.520
 Many errors have arisen through the practice of eisegesis.

00:02:08.699 --> 00:02:14.000
 And so, with that in mind, as we think about a text and we think about it topically,

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.460
 I just want to warn you to be especially discerning.

00:02:19.259 --> 00:02:22.280
 Secondly, I am not trying to be an alarmist.

00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:28.900
 But there are times in which we need to be thinking carefully and looking forward well.

00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:37.259
 And because of this, your elders feel a burden to prepare you for challenges that we believe are coming.

00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:38.920
 We love you very much.

00:02:39.139 --> 00:02:43.719
 We want to teach you well from God's Word for your good and for the glory of our God.

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.920
 And to be frank, if we're entirely wrong,

00:02:47.020 --> 00:02:51.199
 all the things that we're going to be talking about are just good and proper things for the church to be doing anyway.

00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.439
 So, we'll be okay.

00:02:54.799 --> 00:02:59.399
 Third, the six total weeks we're going to be spending thinking about building a resilient church culture

00:02:59.399 --> 00:03:02.179
 will not be enough time to exhaust the topic.

00:03:02.419 --> 00:03:05.959
 Nor will each week be enough time for the particular thing that we're talking about.

00:03:06.060 --> 00:03:12.179
 I feel that like I want, you know, three times as many pages of notes as I presently have.

00:03:12.699 --> 00:03:15.780
 But I hope that it will prime us and get us talking and thinking.

00:03:16.359 --> 00:03:19.639
 We're going to need to do so both formally and informally, day to day.

00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:26.979
 And above all, we would ask that you would spend time with the Lord and His Word as you consider the days in which we live.

00:03:28.139 --> 00:03:32.259
 So, how do we build a resilient church culture, right?

00:03:32.259 --> 00:03:38.739
 A church that is going to stand against the rising tide of this soft totalitarianism, right?

00:03:38.779 --> 00:03:42.279
 A requirement to toe the cultural line.

00:03:42.939 --> 00:03:44.439
 We're going to have to build it, right?

00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.859
 It's not going to just happen, right?

00:03:46.900 --> 00:03:50.079
 It will be spirit-empowered if it's valuable at all.

00:03:50.139 --> 00:03:54.259
 But we're going to have to do some things in order for it to happen.

00:03:54.939 --> 00:03:57.659
 We will have to be strong, right?

00:03:57.699 --> 00:04:01.759
 Because the tide, the cultural tide, it will be destructive.

00:04:02.079 --> 00:04:03.960
 And it will have to be cultural.

00:04:04.099 --> 00:04:10.620
 It's going to have to be ingrained into every part of who we are as a people set apart for God's praise.

00:04:10.620 --> 00:04:18.639
 So, this morning we're going to consider the second of five things your elders believe we need to be working on.

00:04:19.300 --> 00:04:20.720
 The first was clear mission.

00:04:21.540 --> 00:04:23.379
 The second, robust theology.

00:04:24.100 --> 00:04:26.540
 The third, accurate history.

00:04:27.579 --> 00:04:30.040
 The fourth, sacrificial hospitality.

00:04:30.459 --> 00:04:32.980
 And the fifth, healthy family.

00:04:34.139 --> 00:04:37.079
 Today, we're going to consider robust theology.

00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:42.800
 Now, many people, when they hear the word theology, think, oh, that's for the theologians, right?

00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.120
 That is for the high-minded in places of academia.

00:04:46.979 --> 00:04:52.620
 But theology is merely the study of God, of our Creator.

00:04:53.819 --> 00:04:58.219
 If we are to rightly answer the questions, how were we created?

00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:00.579
 For what purpose were we created?

00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:03.259
 How ought our lives to be ordered?

00:05:03.259 --> 00:05:09.060
 If we're looking for any meaning or purpose at all, then we're going to have to do so theologically.

00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:16.120
 Even the atheist makes a theological statement in declaring there is no God.

00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.240
 That is a form of theology.

00:05:20.219 --> 00:05:26.079
 Not only will we need to be theological to stand against the rising tide of soft totalitarianism,

00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:30.919
 but we will have to do theology robustly.

00:05:31.159 --> 00:05:33.219
 We're going to have to do it well.

00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:37.939
 Our theology will need to be strong, and it will need to be healthy.

00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.939
 It will need to be altogether biblical.

00:05:41.860 --> 00:05:45.279
 We will need to know what we believe, why we believe it,

00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:51.159
 and be able to recognize attacks at the very core of our Christian faith.

00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:56.100
 So, let's begin this morning with our text.

00:05:57.080 --> 00:05:58.900
 2 Timothy chapter 3.

00:05:59.040 --> 00:06:05.940
 I'm going to read the entirety of chapter 3 and into verse 5 of chapter 4.

00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:11.500
 Let me remind you that the subheadings and the verse numbers and the chapter numbers are not inspired.

00:06:11.760 --> 00:06:13.100
 They're very helpful to us, right?

00:06:13.140 --> 00:06:19.160
 We all arrived at the same point in our English text by saying chapter 3, verse 1, but not inspired.

00:06:19.160 --> 00:06:24.420
 And I want you to see the flow of Paul's reasoning here to his disciple Timothy.

00:06:25.580 --> 00:06:28.720
 Before I begin reading, let me remind you, beloved, that this is God's word to us.

00:06:29.420 --> 00:06:35.280
 It was written for his glory and our good, and so we would do well to approach it with reverence,

00:06:35.620 --> 00:06:40.700
 to listen to it in order to believe its promises and obey its commands.

00:06:41.540 --> 00:06:44.240
 2 Timothy 3, verse 1 and following.

00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:52.180
 But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty.

00:06:53.060 --> 00:07:02.920
 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents,

00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:12.640
 ungrateful, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control,

00:07:13.640 --> 00:07:20.600
 brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit,

00:07:21.340 --> 00:07:23.939
 lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.600
 having the appearance of godliness but denying its power.

00:07:29.560 --> 00:07:31.300
 Avoid such people.

00:07:31.300 --> 00:07:35.960
 For among them are those who creep into households and capture weak women,

00:07:36.259 --> 00:07:39.319
 burdened with sins and led astray by various passions,

00:07:40.139 --> 00:07:44.500
 always learning and never able to arrive at a knowledge of the truth.

00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:50.319
 Just as Janice and John Brace opposed Moses, so these men also opposed the truth,

00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:54.540
 men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith.

00:07:54.540 --> 00:08:01.700
 But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men.

00:08:01.699 --> 00:08:09.479
 You, however, have followed my teaching, my conduct, my aim in life, my faith, my patience, my love,

00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:16.420
 my steadfastness, my persecutions and sufferings that happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, and at Lystra,

00:08:16.980 --> 00:08:21.259
 which persecutions I endured, yet from them all the Lord rescued me.

00:08:21.259 --> 00:08:27.339
 Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,

00:08:28.039 --> 00:08:33.439
 while evil people and imposters will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:38.639
 But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed,

00:08:39.220 --> 00:08:43.580
 knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings,

00:08:43.580 --> 00:08:47.879
 which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:54.620
 All scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction,

00:08:55.100 --> 00:09:02.000
 and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

00:09:03.020 --> 00:09:07.340
 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead,

00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.520
 and by his appearing and his kingdom, preach the word.

00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:13.939
 Be ready in season and out of season.

00:09:14.579 --> 00:09:18.779
 Reprove, rebuke, and exhort with complete patience and teaching.

00:09:19.500 --> 00:09:22.939
 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching,

00:09:23.379 --> 00:09:28.199
 but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,

00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.019
 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.

00:09:33.899 --> 00:09:38.019
 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering,

00:09:38.019 --> 00:09:42.679
 do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

00:09:44.079 --> 00:09:49.059
 So, this is known as Paul's last epistle, the last letter that he wrote.

00:09:49.699 --> 00:09:54.319
 He's on his deathbed, he's anticipating his soon coming end,

00:09:54.379 --> 00:09:58.639
 and he's issuing these final words to Timothy, who is serving as a pastor,

00:09:58.740 --> 00:10:06.299
 but that doesn't mean that the words here only apply to Timothy and his particular ministry.

00:10:06.299 --> 00:10:11.620
 Notice that he says that this time is here and it is coming.

00:10:12.059 --> 00:10:18.059
 Timothy himself experienced this and the practical application that he needed in his day,

00:10:18.219 --> 00:10:21.179
 and we also need to consider it.

00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.659
 So, to do so, we're going to do it in a two-point simple outline,

00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:27.099
 which is as follows.

00:10:27.199 --> 00:10:29.379
 Number one, two exhortations,

00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:33.979
 and number two, three reasons for the two exhortations.

00:10:33.980 --> 00:10:35.340
 We've got all those numbers.

00:10:35.460 --> 00:10:36.500
 Number one, two exhortations.

00:10:37.259 --> 00:10:40.960
 Number two, three reasons for the two exhortations.

00:10:41.300 --> 00:10:42.779
 We won't look at this text exhaustively.

00:10:42.899 --> 00:10:45.039
 Remember, I'm driving to a point, right?

00:10:45.180 --> 00:10:47.399
 Trying carefully to exegete, not eisegete.

00:10:47.740 --> 00:10:48.620
 Be discerning.

00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:54.200
 We can't pick up every little detail that's found in this long bit of text.

00:10:54.440 --> 00:10:56.980
 But I want to draw your attention first to two exhortations.

00:10:57.620 --> 00:10:59.680
 So, number one, continue.

00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:04.019
 Paul is urging Timothy, right?

00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:05.039
 That's what it means to exhort.

00:11:05.139 --> 00:11:08.879
 He's urging him to continue, right?

00:11:08.959 --> 00:11:10.559
 In something specific, right?

00:11:10.620 --> 00:11:13.019
 He says, but as for you, right?

00:11:13.339 --> 00:11:16.620
 In contrast to these type of men,

00:11:17.359 --> 00:11:23.279
 you continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed.

00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:28.379
 Paul tells Timothy that there will be difficulty in the last days

00:11:28.379 --> 00:11:30.220
 because of ungodly people.

00:11:31.319 --> 00:11:33.600
 And his response to that is to instruct Timothy

00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:40.059
 not to withdraw from society or abandon his work to start a new one,

00:11:40.199 --> 00:11:43.839
 but to continue, right?

00:11:43.959 --> 00:11:47.600
 To settle in, to keep moving forward.

00:11:48.199 --> 00:11:51.500
 It's what many of the Puritans called plotting, right?

00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:53.179
 Stay on the path.

00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:55.440
 Just keep going.

00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:56.279
 Continue.

00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:03.340
 Timothy is told, right, to continue in what he had learned and believed,

00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:08.259
 which we see as Paul continues is the Word of God.

00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.220
 In verse 15, Paul calls this the sacred writings,

00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:17.460
 which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.

00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.980
 It says that he was familiar with them from a child, right?

00:12:20.980 --> 00:12:23.940
 We know that his mother and his grandmothers were followers of Christ

00:12:23.940 --> 00:12:29.320
 and taught him the Old Testament text that he might come to faith in Christ.

00:12:29.940 --> 00:12:33.279
 And then in verse 16, we see Paul call this the Scripture,

00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:37.279
 who has God as its very source, right?

00:12:37.980 --> 00:12:41.980
 Breathed out, expired by God himself.

00:12:41.980 --> 00:12:51.019
 If we are to continue, then we are going to have to continue by God's Word,

00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:57.220
 which means we're going to have to study God's Word, right?

00:12:57.379 --> 00:13:00.779
 We will need to know the sacred writings.

00:13:01.960 --> 00:13:06.159
 And beloved, we live in a tragic day of biblical illiteracy.

00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:12.959
 Too many people who claim to be a people of the book do not know the book they claim to be a people of.

00:13:13.579 --> 00:13:20.919
 This is our text, and we ought to know it much more than we presently do.

00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:25.459
 We will need to do robust theology.

00:13:26.299 --> 00:13:28.799
 Not merely to know things, right?

00:13:28.860 --> 00:13:30.919
 Not to be high-minded, not to be academic.

00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:34.240
 This is not the great end of reading the Scripture,

00:13:35.019 --> 00:13:38.500
 but rather to know personally our God.

00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:42.179
 To know his purposes in the world,

00:13:42.519 --> 00:13:46.219
 and know how we are to walk in his will.

00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:52.259
 This is the end, the practical application of the knowledge of our God.

00:13:53.179 --> 00:13:57.459
 And it will take work on your part.

00:13:57.460 --> 00:14:00.940
 In a survey released by Lifeway Research,

00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:06.320
 showed that evangelical Christians, only 36% say that they read their Bibles daily.

00:14:07.420 --> 00:14:08.340
 What a shame.

00:14:08.940 --> 00:14:10.019
 What an absolute shame.

00:14:10.120 --> 00:14:11.820
 It's going to take work on your part.

00:14:12.340 --> 00:14:16.639
 But it is also a community project.

00:14:17.980 --> 00:14:19.180
 So if you will, listen.

00:14:19.580 --> 00:14:22.400
 Ephesians chapter 4, beginning in verse 11.

00:14:23.160 --> 00:14:25.340
 Jesus gives to the church apostles, prophets,

00:14:25.340 --> 00:14:27.160
 which I'll argue is the Scripture.

00:14:27.460 --> 00:14:28.940
 But for another time.

00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:31.680
 The evangelists, the shepherd teachers,

00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.000
 to do something specific,

00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.720
 to equip the saints for the work of ministry,

00:14:37.940 --> 00:14:39.780
 for building up the body of Christ.

00:14:39.900 --> 00:14:40.000
 Right?

00:14:40.040 --> 00:14:41.560
 So there's gifts given to the church

00:14:41.560 --> 00:14:45.180
 to equip the saints, all of us,

00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:46.900
 for the work of ministry,

00:14:47.040 --> 00:14:47.820
 which is what?

00:14:48.660 --> 00:14:51.400
 It's building up the body of Christ.

00:14:51.800 --> 00:14:52.960
 And we're to do this work,

00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:54.300
 verse 13 tells us,

00:14:54.300 --> 00:14:57.840
 until we all attain to the unity of the faith

00:14:57.840 --> 00:14:59.379
 and of the knowledge of the Son of God

00:14:59.379 --> 00:15:01.740
 to mature manhood,

00:15:01.920 --> 00:15:05.960
 to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:09.240
 Which means that this work will not be done this side of glory.

00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:09.540
 Right?

00:15:09.539 --> 00:15:11.219
 We're going to have to do robust theology

00:15:11.219 --> 00:15:12.439
 until the Lord returns

00:15:12.439 --> 00:15:13.620
 or takes us home.

00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:14.079
 Right?

00:15:14.199 --> 00:15:15.480
 One of the two.

00:15:16.139 --> 00:15:17.099
 And it has a point,

00:15:17.199 --> 00:15:19.199
 verse 14 of Ephesians 11 tells us,

00:15:19.199 --> 00:15:19.980
 so that

00:15:19.980 --> 00:15:22.899
 we may no longer be children

00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:25.120
 tossed to and fro by the waves

00:15:25.120 --> 00:15:29.419
 and carried about by every wind of doctrine.

00:15:29.839 --> 00:15:32.379
 And doctrine just is a great word for truth.

00:15:32.379 --> 00:15:34.320
 By human cunning,

00:15:34.439 --> 00:15:35.360
 by craftiness

00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:37.480
 and deceitful schemes.

00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:39.939
 So how will we stand

00:15:39.939 --> 00:15:41.860
 against the tide of soft totalitarianism

00:15:41.860 --> 00:15:42.879
 against all the ideas

00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:43.620
 that are out there in the world

00:15:43.620 --> 00:15:44.639
 that are assaulting the church?

00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:45.759
 We will do so

00:15:45.759 --> 00:15:47.980
 by doing robust theology

00:15:47.980 --> 00:15:49.960
 and doing it together in community.

00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.379
 Speaking the truth to one another.

00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:54.840
 This takes all kinds of forms.

00:15:55.019 --> 00:15:55.080
 Right?

00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:56.419
 As the clear mission of the church

00:15:56.419 --> 00:15:57.860
 is to make disciples,

00:15:58.500 --> 00:16:01.220
 we do this in big and public ways

00:16:01.220 --> 00:16:03.279
 and we do this in small and private ways

00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.120
 to press on together in the truth.

00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:08.759
 To continue.

00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:10.899
 In what we have learned

00:16:10.899 --> 00:16:12.840
 and firmly believe.

00:16:13.040 --> 00:16:13.160
 Right?

00:16:13.420 --> 00:16:14.779
 The scripture itself.

00:16:16.019 --> 00:16:16.720
 That's the first thing

00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:18.560
 Paul is exhorting Timothy to do

00:16:18.560 --> 00:16:19.139
 is to continue.

00:16:19.860 --> 00:16:20.340
 But secondly,

00:16:21.139 --> 00:16:22.920
 he exhorts him to preach.

00:16:23.860 --> 00:16:25.960
 Chapter 4 and verse 2.

00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:27.300
 He says,

00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:29.700
 preach the word.

00:16:29.700 --> 00:16:31.879
 Not only is Timothy exhorted

00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:33.600
 to continue in what he has learned,

00:16:33.920 --> 00:16:35.400
 but he is also exhorted

00:16:35.400 --> 00:16:38.440
 to proclaim the word to others.

00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:41.480
 To declare it to others.

00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:42.980
 And I want to say to you

00:16:42.980 --> 00:16:44.259
 that this is preaching,

00:16:44.520 --> 00:16:46.940
 but you are also meant to preach.

00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:48.660
 You are meant to proclaim the truth

00:16:48.660 --> 00:16:49.960
 to others.

00:16:50.520 --> 00:16:50.580
 Right?

00:16:50.800 --> 00:16:53.020
 See Ephesians chapter 4.

00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:55.920
 Timothy is told in this text

00:16:55.920 --> 00:16:57.020
 that there will be difficulty

00:16:57.019 --> 00:16:58.819
 and he is to respond

00:16:58.819 --> 00:16:59.799
 to that difficulty

00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:01.860
 by continuing in the truth

00:17:01.860 --> 00:17:04.379
 and by proclaiming the truth.

00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:06.539
 He is told to reprove,

00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:07.819
 rebuke,

00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:09.019
 and exhort.

00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:09.420
 Or,

00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:10.960
 if you prefer,

00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:11.740
 correct,

00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:13.279
 warn,

00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:15.460
 and urge others.

00:17:16.019 --> 00:17:16.960
 And to do this

00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:18.139
 all the time.

00:17:18.700 --> 00:17:19.379
 And to do this

00:17:19.379 --> 00:17:20.460
 with patience

00:17:20.460 --> 00:17:23.360
 and with careful instruction.

00:17:24.819 --> 00:17:25.819
 Speaking the truth

00:17:25.819 --> 00:17:26.519
 to one another

00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:28.680
 has to be

00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:30.240
 and has to continue to be

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:31.960
 and grow in measure

00:17:31.960 --> 00:17:34.299
 built into who we are

00:17:34.299 --> 00:17:35.259
 as a people.

00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:36.700
 Always helping,

00:17:36.980 --> 00:17:37.720
 always directing.

00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:39.579
 We have to,

00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:40.180
 as a church,

00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:41.860
 have a louder voice

00:17:41.860 --> 00:17:44.799
 than the culture's voice.

00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:45.279
 Right?

00:17:45.380 --> 00:17:46.400
 For what the truth is

00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:47.640
 and what it is

00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:49.200
 not.

00:17:50.460 --> 00:17:51.759
 The second main point,

00:17:51.860 --> 00:17:52.559
 let's look and see

00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:53.360
 the reasons

00:17:53.360 --> 00:17:55.920
 for these exhortations.

00:17:56.340 --> 00:17:56.799
 Number one,

00:17:56.860 --> 00:17:57.259
 three reasons

00:17:57.259 --> 00:17:58.019
 for two exhortations.

00:17:58.120 --> 00:17:58.539
 Number one,

00:18:00.100 --> 00:18:00.840
 to avoid

00:18:00.840 --> 00:18:02.799
 licentiousness

00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:04.039
 and

00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:05.460
 legalism.

00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:05.900
 Right?

00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:06.900
 Bear with me.

00:18:07.019 --> 00:18:07.539
 If we are

00:18:07.539 --> 00:18:08.900
 off the mark

00:18:08.900 --> 00:18:09.700
 of how we are meant

00:18:09.700 --> 00:18:10.900
 to respond to the truth

00:18:10.900 --> 00:18:11.799
 as gospel people,

00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:12.960
 it will be one in two ways.

00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:13.759
 We'll either become

00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:14.480
 licentious,

00:18:14.740 --> 00:18:14.880
 right?

00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:15.960
 We'll take for granted

00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:16.740
 the grace of God

00:18:16.740 --> 00:18:18.400
 and we'll throw off the law

00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:18.820
 and we'll think

00:18:18.820 --> 00:18:19.400
 that we can live

00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:20.820
 however we'd like to live

00:18:20.820 --> 00:18:22.860
 in response to God's grace.

00:18:23.320 --> 00:18:23.460
 Right?

00:18:23.620 --> 00:18:24.540
 God has forgiven me

00:18:24.540 --> 00:18:24.980
 of my sin,

00:18:25.060 --> 00:18:26.740
 therefore I can sin abundantly.

00:18:27.500 --> 00:18:28.400
 Paul says,

00:18:29.040 --> 00:18:29.860
 may it never be.

00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:31.980
 The other temptation

00:18:31.980 --> 00:18:32.840
 is to trend off

00:18:32.840 --> 00:18:34.340
 toward legalism.

00:18:34.620 --> 00:18:34.800
 Right?

00:18:35.040 --> 00:18:36.100
 To think that

00:18:36.100 --> 00:18:37.680
 we can earn our favor

00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:39.080
 and what we seek

00:18:39.080 --> 00:18:40.000
 is for other people

00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:41.600
 to look like us

00:18:41.600 --> 00:18:43.880
 and not like Christ.

00:18:44.300 --> 00:18:44.440
 Right?

00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:45.920
 To add to the law

00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:47.440
 in particular ways

00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:48.740
 and demand the same

00:18:48.740 --> 00:18:50.100
 from others.

00:18:51.200 --> 00:18:51.500
 So,

00:18:51.720 --> 00:18:52.039
 walking

00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:53.360
 in gospel response,

00:18:54.180 --> 00:18:54.799
 obedient lives

00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:55.519
 is like walking

00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:56.220
 a tightrope

00:18:56.220 --> 00:18:56.799
 and there's always

00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:57.340
 two ways

00:18:57.340 --> 00:18:58.500
 to fall off.

00:18:59.440 --> 00:19:00.759
 Look at chapter 3

00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:01.539
 and verse 2,

00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:03.299
 2 Timothy.

00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:04.740
 I won't read

00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:05.360
 the whole list

00:19:05.360 --> 00:19:05.940
 but you'll see

00:19:05.940 --> 00:19:06.840
 people will be

00:19:06.840 --> 00:19:08.620
 lovers of self,

00:19:09.500 --> 00:19:10.480
 lovers of money,

00:19:11.600 --> 00:19:11.940
 proud,

00:19:12.100 --> 00:19:12.400
 arrogant,

00:19:12.600 --> 00:19:13.019
 abusive,

00:19:13.420 --> 00:19:13.880
 disobedient

00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:14.600
 to their parent,

00:19:14.800 --> 00:19:15.520
 jump down

00:19:15.520 --> 00:19:16.980
 without self-control,

00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:18.580
 treacherous,

00:19:19.260 --> 00:19:19.760
 reckless,

00:19:20.560 --> 00:19:21.500
 lovers of pleasure

00:19:21.500 --> 00:19:22.080
 rather than

00:19:22.080 --> 00:19:23.220
 lovers of God.

00:19:24.220 --> 00:19:24.580
 So,

00:19:24.620 --> 00:19:25.360
 you see all of this

00:19:25.360 --> 00:19:26.300
 licentiousness

00:19:26.300 --> 00:19:27.080
 in the text

00:19:27.080 --> 00:19:27.740
 and then you see

00:19:27.740 --> 00:19:28.980
 hints of legalism

00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:29.480
 as well,

00:19:29.580 --> 00:19:30.920
 them being proud

00:19:30.920 --> 00:19:32.160
 and arrogant,

00:19:32.900 --> 00:19:34.200
 having the appearance

00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:34.980
 of godliness

00:19:34.980 --> 00:19:36.460
 but denying

00:19:36.460 --> 00:19:38.100
 its power.

00:19:39.040 --> 00:19:40.140
 And these are people

00:19:40.140 --> 00:19:41.700
 who are part of

00:19:41.700 --> 00:19:42.240
 this fellowship

00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:42.840
 of faith,

00:19:42.940 --> 00:19:43.160
 right?

00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:43.580
 they're to be

00:19:43.580 --> 00:19:44.259
 found out,

00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:45.019
 they're to be

00:19:45.019 --> 00:19:45.560
 discovered,

00:19:46.000 --> 00:19:46.460
 they're to be

00:19:46.460 --> 00:19:47.000
 avoided.

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:48.860
 This is not just

00:19:48.860 --> 00:19:49.740
 the culture

00:19:49.740 --> 00:19:50.620
 at war here

00:19:50.620 --> 00:19:51.620
 but the culture

00:19:51.620 --> 00:19:52.960
 infiltrating within

00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:55.100
 God's very people.

00:19:56.420 --> 00:19:57.660
 Down through verse 7

00:19:57.660 --> 00:19:58.660
 and Paul elaborates

00:19:58.660 --> 00:19:59.759
 further but I think

00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:00.900
 you can see the point.

00:20:01.900 --> 00:20:02.960
 There is a promise

00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:04.800
 of wicked people.

00:20:05.340 --> 00:20:06.220
 They will be

00:20:06.220 --> 00:20:07.500
 around us

00:20:07.500 --> 00:20:09.279
 and within us.

00:20:09.279 --> 00:20:11.259
 and because of this

00:20:11.259 --> 00:20:12.220
 there's also a promise

00:20:12.220 --> 00:20:13.279
 of persecution

00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:15.039
 for the faithful.

00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:17.299
 This verse is the

00:20:17.299 --> 00:20:18.500
 hammer blow

00:20:18.500 --> 00:20:20.639
 to the prosperity gospel.

00:20:21.700 --> 00:20:22.779
 This verse,

00:20:23.379 --> 00:20:24.139
 most who believe

00:20:24.139 --> 00:20:25.139
 the prosperity gospel

00:20:25.139 --> 00:20:26.200
 and see that what God

00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:27.720
 is seeking to accomplish

00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:28.299
 for us here

00:20:28.299 --> 00:20:28.920
 is the avoidance

00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:29.460
 of suffering,

00:20:29.660 --> 00:20:30.700
 they have never heard.

00:20:31.240 --> 00:20:31.879
 And I challenge you

00:20:31.879 --> 00:20:32.279
 with this.

00:20:32.359 --> 00:20:33.119
 When you meet somebody

00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:34.319
 who's been at

00:20:34.319 --> 00:20:35.679
 prosperity gospel churches

00:20:35.679 --> 00:20:36.219
 ask them,

00:20:36.299 --> 00:20:36.839
 have you ever heard

00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:38.919
 2 Timothy 3, 12?

00:20:40.019 --> 00:20:40.839
 This doesn't preach

00:20:40.839 --> 00:20:41.839
 in a prosperity church.

00:20:42.599 --> 00:20:43.000
 Indeed,

00:20:44.119 --> 00:20:45.279
 all who desire

00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:46.539
 to live a godly life

00:20:46.539 --> 00:20:48.299
 in Christ Jesus

00:20:48.299 --> 00:20:50.759
 will be

00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:52.059
 persecuted.

00:20:53.459 --> 00:20:54.579
 It will happen.

00:20:54.739 --> 00:20:55.559
 It is inevitable

00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:56.779
 that the world

00:20:56.779 --> 00:20:58.039
 is going to push back.

00:20:58.379 --> 00:20:59.819
 Ungodliness pushes back

00:20:59.819 --> 00:21:01.319
 against godliness.

00:21:01.319 --> 00:21:03.179
 We are disciples

00:21:03.179 --> 00:21:04.439
 of the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:21:04.700 --> 00:21:05.619
 Why do we think

00:21:05.619 --> 00:21:06.700
 that our path

00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:07.639
 will look any different

00:21:07.639 --> 00:21:08.339
 than His?

00:21:09.599 --> 00:21:10.679
 Hated in this world,

00:21:11.439 --> 00:21:12.139
 suffered and died

00:21:12.139 --> 00:21:12.980
 for our sake.

00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:14.559
 Why would we think

00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:15.419
 that this world

00:21:15.419 --> 00:21:16.159
 will love us

00:21:16.159 --> 00:21:17.119
 and accept us

00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:18.419
 for all that we have

00:21:18.419 --> 00:21:19.179
 to offer?

00:21:19.779 --> 00:21:20.819
 It will not.

00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:22.819
 Those who desire

00:21:22.819 --> 00:21:23.759
 to live a godly life

00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:24.980
 in Christ Jesus

00:21:24.980 --> 00:21:28.000
 will be persecuted.

00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:29.419
 And it's on the heels

00:21:29.419 --> 00:21:30.059
 of this

00:21:30.059 --> 00:21:31.339
 that He then says

00:21:31.339 --> 00:21:31.819
 to Timothy

00:21:31.819 --> 00:21:32.940
 in verse 14,

00:21:33.819 --> 00:21:36.019
 but as for you,

00:21:36.359 --> 00:21:38.139
 this will happen.

00:21:38.220 --> 00:21:39.179
 It will be going on,

00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:41.419
 but as for you,

00:21:42.240 --> 00:21:42.740
 continue

00:21:42.740 --> 00:21:44.379
 in what you have learned

00:21:44.379 --> 00:21:46.039
 and firmly believed.

00:21:46.740 --> 00:21:48.119
 We must be careful

00:21:48.119 --> 00:21:50.379
 not to believe

00:21:50.379 --> 00:21:51.220
 that we have

00:21:51.220 --> 00:21:52.919
 already arrived.

00:21:53.579 --> 00:21:55.139
 We still may be tossed

00:21:55.139 --> 00:21:56.379
 to and fro

00:21:56.380 --> 00:21:58.080
 by the wind.

00:21:58.700 --> 00:21:59.600
 We're going to have

00:21:59.600 --> 00:22:00.620
 to press in

00:22:00.620 --> 00:22:02.080
 and continue on

00:22:02.080 --> 00:22:02.700
 because we want

00:22:02.700 --> 00:22:03.340
 to avoid

00:22:03.340 --> 00:22:04.660
 licentiousness

00:22:04.660 --> 00:22:05.540
 and we want

00:22:05.540 --> 00:22:06.120
 to avoid

00:22:06.120 --> 00:22:07.400
 legalism.

00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:07.920
 Right?

00:22:08.520 --> 00:22:10.020
 We are susceptible

00:22:10.020 --> 00:22:12.120
 to such errors.

00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:14.100
 Listen for a moment

00:22:14.100 --> 00:22:16.940
 to Paul's farewell words

00:22:16.940 --> 00:22:18.020
 to the Ephesian elders

00:22:18.020 --> 00:22:18.780
 recorded for us

00:22:18.780 --> 00:22:20.080
 in Acts chapter 20,

00:22:20.220 --> 00:22:22.240
 verse 28 and following.

00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:24.019
 He says this

00:22:24.019 --> 00:22:24.660
 and this is just,

00:22:24.779 --> 00:22:25.519
 this strikes me,

00:22:25.579 --> 00:22:26.559
 especially as an elder,

00:22:27.120 --> 00:22:28.460
 as a warning

00:22:28.460 --> 00:22:29.579
 for me

00:22:29.579 --> 00:22:30.480
 and for all of us.

00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:31.059
 He says,

00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:33.180
 pay careful attention

00:22:33.180 --> 00:22:34.059
 to yourselves

00:22:34.059 --> 00:22:35.220
 and to all

00:22:35.220 --> 00:22:36.579
 the flock.

00:22:37.259 --> 00:22:38.299
 To yourselves

00:22:38.299 --> 00:22:40.160
 and to the flock

00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:41.339
 in which the Holy Spirit

00:22:41.339 --> 00:22:42.420
 has made you overseers

00:22:42.420 --> 00:22:43.519
 to care for the church

00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:44.099
 of God

00:22:44.099 --> 00:22:45.500
 which He obtained

00:22:45.500 --> 00:22:46.420
 with His own

00:22:46.420 --> 00:22:47.519
 blood.

00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:49.440
 I know

00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:51.500
 that after my departure

00:22:51.500 --> 00:22:52.440
 fierce wolves

00:22:52.440 --> 00:22:54.019
 will come in among you

00:22:54.019 --> 00:22:55.740
 not sparing

00:22:55.740 --> 00:22:56.460
 the flock.

00:22:56.579 --> 00:22:56.759
 Okay.

00:22:57.220 --> 00:22:57.660
 So we're going to

00:22:57.660 --> 00:22:58.220
 pay attention

00:22:58.220 --> 00:22:58.940
 to ourselves

00:22:58.940 --> 00:22:59.700
 and to the flock

00:22:59.700 --> 00:23:00.619
 because wolves are coming.

00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:01.160
 Right?

00:23:01.220 --> 00:23:02.379
 You can see this language

00:23:02.379 --> 00:23:03.160
 being picked up here

00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:04.460
 in 2 Timothy chapter 3.

00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:05.000
 Right?

00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:06.559
 This type of activity

00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:07.180
 is going to be happening.

00:23:07.279 --> 00:23:08.099
 This ungodliness

00:23:08.099 --> 00:23:08.920
 coming in,

00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:10.139
 taking people captive.

00:23:10.420 --> 00:23:11.220
 We must be careful

00:23:11.220 --> 00:23:12.079
 but then in verse 30

00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:12.579
 He says,

00:23:12.579 --> 00:23:13.940
 and from among

00:23:13.940 --> 00:23:15.579
 your own selves

00:23:15.579 --> 00:23:17.119
 will arise men

00:23:17.119 --> 00:23:18.659
 speaking twisted things

00:23:18.659 --> 00:23:19.759
 to draw away

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:20.359
 the disciples

00:23:20.359 --> 00:23:21.719
 after them.

00:23:22.500 --> 00:23:23.919
 So both from without

00:23:23.919 --> 00:23:25.439
 and from within

00:23:25.439 --> 00:23:26.579
 and so we are

00:23:26.579 --> 00:23:28.219
 then to be careful,

00:23:28.719 --> 00:23:30.000
 to pay careful attention

00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:31.899
 to ourselves

00:23:31.899 --> 00:23:34.819
 and to the flock.

00:23:36.199 --> 00:23:37.919
 To avoid licentiousness

00:23:37.919 --> 00:23:40.399
 and legalism.

00:23:41.439 --> 00:23:42.659
 The second reason,

00:23:42.739 --> 00:23:43.419
 the second reason

00:23:43.419 --> 00:23:44.439
 for these exhortations

00:23:44.439 --> 00:23:45.779
 is to do the opposite

00:23:45.779 --> 00:23:46.119
 of that

00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:47.299
 which is to pursue holiness.

00:23:47.659 --> 00:23:47.779
 Right?

00:23:47.919 --> 00:23:48.879
 We want to avoid

00:23:48.879 --> 00:23:49.359
 sinfulness

00:23:49.359 --> 00:23:50.979
 but we want to

00:23:50.979 --> 00:23:52.139
 also pursue

00:23:52.139 --> 00:23:53.179
 holiness

00:23:53.179 --> 00:23:54.099
 for the glory

00:23:54.099 --> 00:23:55.119
 of our God

00:23:55.119 --> 00:23:56.079
 to be a people

00:23:56.079 --> 00:23:56.899
 set apart

00:23:56.899 --> 00:23:58.979
 for His praise

00:23:58.979 --> 00:23:59.639
 in a dark

00:23:59.639 --> 00:24:01.259
 and a twisted generation.

00:24:02.379 --> 00:24:03.399
 Verse 16

00:24:03.399 --> 00:24:05.139
 is our classic

00:24:05.139 --> 00:24:05.659
 sufficiency

00:24:05.659 --> 00:24:07.599
 of Scripture text.

00:24:07.959 --> 00:24:08.419
 I hope you don't

00:24:08.419 --> 00:24:09.239
 grow tired of it.

00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:11.120
 all Scripture

00:24:11.120 --> 00:24:13.900
 breathed out by God

00:24:13.900 --> 00:24:15.359
 and profitable.

00:24:16.180 --> 00:24:17.640
 It comes from Him.

00:24:17.720 --> 00:24:19.240
 He is its source.

00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:21.279
 Carrying along

00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:22.460
 the pens of men,

00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:23.980
 it is His

00:24:23.980 --> 00:24:25.160
 word

00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:26.640
 and it is

00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:27.640
 profitable.

00:24:28.099 --> 00:24:29.240
 It is the very thing

00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:29.799
 we need

00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:30.539
 to teach,

00:24:31.000 --> 00:24:32.220
 to reprove,

00:24:32.380 --> 00:24:33.380
 to correct,

00:24:33.700 --> 00:24:34.660
 and to train

00:24:34.660 --> 00:24:35.940
 in righteousness.

00:24:35.940 --> 00:24:37.900
 In order to pursue holiness,

00:24:38.100 --> 00:24:39.799
 this is the text.

00:24:39.880 --> 00:24:40.820
 It is empowered by the Spirit

00:24:40.820 --> 00:24:41.640
 that we might

00:24:41.640 --> 00:24:42.400
 live in a way

00:24:42.400 --> 00:24:43.380
 that is pleasing

00:24:43.380 --> 00:24:44.759
 to our God.

00:24:45.120 --> 00:24:46.019
 And verse 17 says

00:24:46.019 --> 00:24:46.860
 that the man of God

00:24:46.860 --> 00:24:47.420
 may be

00:24:47.420 --> 00:24:48.400
 complete

00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:50.140
 and you can see there

00:24:50.140 --> 00:24:51.480
 the word proficient

00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:52.380
 would be another way

00:24:52.380 --> 00:24:53.480
 to translate that word.

00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:54.599
 that the man of God

00:24:54.599 --> 00:24:55.759
 may have all

00:24:55.759 --> 00:24:56.799
 that he needs

00:24:56.799 --> 00:24:57.900
 to be equipped

00:24:57.900 --> 00:24:59.000
 for every

00:24:59.000 --> 00:24:59.779
 good

00:24:59.779 --> 00:25:01.059
 work.

00:25:01.819 --> 00:25:02.980
 Every good work.

00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:04.599
 There is not a good work

00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:05.900
 outside of what

00:25:05.900 --> 00:25:06.660
 this book

00:25:06.660 --> 00:25:07.880
 instructs us

00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:09.319
 to do.

00:25:10.259 --> 00:25:10.960
 The Bible

00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:11.740
 is the sufficient

00:25:11.740 --> 00:25:13.079
 source for all things

00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:13.519
 pertaining

00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:14.759
 to godliness.

00:25:15.860 --> 00:25:16.579
 You want to know

00:25:16.579 --> 00:25:17.539
 how to please our God?

00:25:18.299 --> 00:25:19.120
 Look to His word.

00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:20.799
 He has

00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:21.860
 spoken.

00:25:21.859 --> 00:25:23.379
 He has

00:25:23.379 --> 00:25:24.219
 condescended

00:25:24.219 --> 00:25:25.039
 to become

00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:26.000
 an author.

00:25:26.159 --> 00:25:26.740
 And I just want you

00:25:26.740 --> 00:25:27.319
 to stop

00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:28.039
 and think about

00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:29.240
 that for a moment.

00:25:30.599 --> 00:25:31.579
 In our culture,

00:25:31.639 --> 00:25:32.240
 to become an author

00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:33.639
 could make you famous.

00:25:34.639 --> 00:25:35.259
 God is

00:25:35.259 --> 00:25:36.559
 infinitely famous

00:25:36.559 --> 00:25:37.459
 and yet He became

00:25:37.459 --> 00:25:38.579
 an author

00:25:38.579 --> 00:25:39.759
 to write us

00:25:39.759 --> 00:25:40.939
 a book.

00:25:41.419 --> 00:25:42.419
 A book that we

00:25:42.419 --> 00:25:43.759
 ought to pay attention to.

00:25:44.740 --> 00:25:45.279
 We ought to have

00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:45.839
 our lives

00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:47.000
 shaped by this book

00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:48.199
 for our eternal good

00:25:48.199 --> 00:25:48.879
 and for His

00:25:48.879 --> 00:25:49.599
 eternal

00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:50.819
 glory.

00:25:50.819 --> 00:25:52.619
 So this exhortation

00:25:52.619 --> 00:25:53.539
 to continue in the word

00:25:53.539 --> 00:25:54.419
 and to preach the word

00:25:54.419 --> 00:25:55.399
 or proclaim the word

00:25:55.399 --> 00:25:56.579
 has this as its

00:25:56.579 --> 00:25:57.359
 second reason

00:25:57.359 --> 00:25:58.240
 that order that we

00:25:58.240 --> 00:25:59.039
 might pursue

00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:00.139
 holiness.

00:26:01.899 --> 00:26:02.460
 Third,

00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:06.139
 we ought to continue

00:26:06.139 --> 00:26:07.519
 and to proclaim

00:26:07.519 --> 00:26:09.240
 to help others

00:26:09.240 --> 00:26:10.119
 pursue

00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:11.359
 holiness.

00:26:12.799 --> 00:26:13.299
 Now this

00:26:13.299 --> 00:26:14.299
 is a way

00:26:14.299 --> 00:26:15.740
 in my life

00:26:15.740 --> 00:26:16.919
 that the chapter break

00:26:16.919 --> 00:26:18.220
 did not serve me well

00:26:18.220 --> 00:26:18.899
 in my reading of

00:26:18.899 --> 00:26:19.419
 2 Timothy.

00:26:19.420 --> 00:26:21.759
 that I separated

00:26:21.759 --> 00:26:22.640
 the end of chapter 3

00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:23.519
 from the beginning

00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:24.220
 of chapter 4

00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:25.500
 for a lot of years.

00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:27.580
 But he flows

00:26:27.580 --> 00:26:28.539
 right from this

00:26:28.539 --> 00:26:29.640
 incredible,

00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:31.300
 incredible words,

00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:31.519
 right?

00:26:31.560 --> 00:26:32.600
 The man of God

00:26:32.600 --> 00:26:33.320
 may be complete,

00:26:33.480 --> 00:26:34.060
 equipped for

00:26:34.060 --> 00:26:35.680
 every good work.

00:26:35.860 --> 00:26:36.820
 And then he says,

00:26:37.560 --> 00:26:38.360
 I charge you

00:26:38.360 --> 00:26:39.360
 in the presence of God

00:26:39.360 --> 00:26:40.240
 and of Christ Jesus

00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:41.080
 who is to judge

00:26:41.080 --> 00:26:41.539
 the living

00:26:41.539 --> 00:26:43.240
 and the dead.

00:26:43.420 --> 00:26:44.259
 There will be a judgment

00:26:44.259 --> 00:26:45.039
 that will come.

00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:45.940
 There's something

00:26:45.940 --> 00:26:47.820
 to be warned

00:26:47.820 --> 00:26:48.600
 against.

00:26:49.700 --> 00:26:50.580
 And by his appearing

00:26:50.580 --> 00:26:51.460
 in his kingdom,

00:26:51.880 --> 00:26:52.080
 what?

00:26:52.620 --> 00:26:54.320
 Preach the word.

00:26:54.440 --> 00:26:55.480
 Be ready in season

00:26:55.480 --> 00:26:56.220
 and out of season

00:26:56.220 --> 00:26:56.920
 all the time.

00:26:57.000 --> 00:26:57.360
 Reprove,

00:26:57.500 --> 00:26:57.860
 rebuke,

00:26:58.539 --> 00:26:58.940
 exhort

00:26:58.940 --> 00:27:00.240
 with

00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:01.400
 complete

00:27:01.400 --> 00:27:03.100
 patience

00:27:03.100 --> 00:27:04.600
 and teaching.

00:27:04.599 --> 00:27:06.199
 many of you

00:27:06.199 --> 00:27:06.879
 know that I am

00:27:06.879 --> 00:27:07.839
 not in my

00:27:07.839 --> 00:27:08.699
 natural self

00:27:08.699 --> 00:27:09.719
 a patient person.

00:27:10.879 --> 00:27:11.399
 One of my

00:27:11.399 --> 00:27:12.240
 high values

00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:13.039
 in my flesh

00:27:13.039 --> 00:27:13.939
 is efficiency.

00:27:14.379 --> 00:27:15.480
 I love doing

00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:16.439
 things efficiently.

00:27:16.699 --> 00:27:17.539
 And let me tell you,

00:27:18.059 --> 00:27:18.679
 the church

00:27:18.679 --> 00:27:19.899
 is not efficient.

00:27:20.559 --> 00:27:21.219
 It is

00:27:21.219 --> 00:27:22.319
 anything but

00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:23.139
 efficient.

00:27:23.140 --> 00:27:24.800
 So the Lord

00:27:24.800 --> 00:27:25.200
 has had to do

00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:25.980
 a lot of work

00:27:25.980 --> 00:27:26.880
 of grace in me

00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:27.480
 and is still

00:27:27.480 --> 00:27:29.140
 completing that work.

00:27:29.380 --> 00:27:30.200
 The end of

00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:31.300
 verse 2

00:27:31.300 --> 00:27:33.940
 knocked me down

00:27:33.940 --> 00:27:34.820
 when I first saw

00:27:34.820 --> 00:27:35.720
 the connection here

00:27:35.720 --> 00:27:37.080
 that we are

00:27:37.080 --> 00:27:37.680
 to proclaim

00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:38.040
 the word

00:27:38.040 --> 00:27:38.600
 to one another

00:27:38.600 --> 00:27:40.080
 with complete

00:27:40.080 --> 00:27:41.400
 patience

00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:43.120
 and teaching

00:27:43.120 --> 00:27:43.800
 which means

00:27:43.800 --> 00:27:44.900
 instruction.

00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:46.300
 And why?

00:27:46.840 --> 00:27:47.580
 And why?

00:27:47.660 --> 00:27:48.300
 Why are we

00:27:48.300 --> 00:27:49.280
 to do this?

00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:51.400
 Verse 3

00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:52.259
 and into 4

00:27:52.259 --> 00:27:53.259
 tells us

00:27:53.259 --> 00:27:54.599
 4

00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:56.720
 the time

00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:57.259
 is coming

00:27:57.259 --> 00:27:59.059
 when people

00:27:59.059 --> 00:27:59.960
 will not endure

00:27:59.960 --> 00:28:01.759
 sound teaching

00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:03.319
 but having

00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:03.940
 itching ears

00:28:03.940 --> 00:28:04.220
 they will

00:28:04.220 --> 00:28:04.779
 accumulate for

00:28:04.779 --> 00:28:05.160
 themselves

00:28:05.160 --> 00:28:05.859
 teachers to

00:28:05.859 --> 00:28:06.339
 suit their

00:28:06.339 --> 00:28:07.920
 own passions

00:28:07.920 --> 00:28:09.180
 and they will

00:28:09.180 --> 00:28:09.579
 turn away

00:28:09.579 --> 00:28:10.019
 from listening

00:28:10.019 --> 00:28:10.579
 to the truth

00:28:10.579 --> 00:28:11.000
 and wander

00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:11.379
 off

00:28:11.379 --> 00:28:12.900
 into myths.

00:28:14.920 --> 00:28:15.480
 Beloved,

00:28:15.740 --> 00:28:16.339
 those who

00:28:16.339 --> 00:28:16.799
 claim to

00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:17.599
 follow Christ

00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:18.680
 will not

00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:19.140
 endure

00:28:19.140 --> 00:28:20.579
 Bible teaching

00:28:20.579 --> 00:28:22.119
 and the

00:28:22.119 --> 00:28:23.039
 response to

00:28:23.039 --> 00:28:23.879
 that is

00:28:23.879 --> 00:28:24.819
 that we

00:28:24.819 --> 00:28:26.159
 continue

00:28:26.159 --> 00:28:27.799
 to teach

00:28:27.799 --> 00:28:29.439
 with complete

00:28:29.439 --> 00:28:29.839
 patience.

00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:30.819
 We press on

00:28:30.819 --> 00:28:31.679
 we keep at it

00:28:31.679 --> 00:28:32.519
 we keep going

00:28:32.519 --> 00:28:33.439
 we keep

00:28:33.439 --> 00:28:34.199
 proclaiming

00:28:34.199 --> 00:28:35.220
 God's

00:28:35.220 --> 00:28:36.519
 word.

00:28:37.859 --> 00:28:38.639
 This blew my

00:28:38.639 --> 00:28:39.059
 mind open

00:28:39.059 --> 00:28:39.439
 I don't know

00:28:39.439 --> 00:28:39.740
 if it does

00:28:39.740 --> 00:28:40.059
 for you

00:28:40.059 --> 00:28:41.299
 but as I

00:28:41.299 --> 00:28:41.779
 have tried

00:28:41.779 --> 00:28:42.119
 to teach

00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:42.439
 things

00:28:42.439 --> 00:28:42.799
 and teach

00:28:42.799 --> 00:28:43.079
 things

00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:43.439
 and teach

00:28:43.439 --> 00:28:43.679
 things

00:28:43.679 --> 00:28:43.919
 over the

00:28:43.919 --> 00:28:44.819
 past 13

00:28:44.819 --> 00:28:45.139
 years

00:28:45.139 --> 00:28:45.559
 and just

00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:45.980
 things that

00:28:45.980 --> 00:28:46.339
 don't seem

00:28:46.339 --> 00:28:46.819
 to stick

00:28:46.819 --> 00:28:47.240
 like what

00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:47.679
 is happening

00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:48.220
 why is

00:28:48.220 --> 00:28:48.500
 none of

00:28:48.500 --> 00:28:48.680
 this

00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:49.400
 sticking

00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:50.299
 why are

00:28:50.299 --> 00:28:50.900
 people not

00:28:50.900 --> 00:28:51.380
 hearing

00:28:51.380 --> 00:28:52.660
 these good

00:28:52.660 --> 00:28:53.299
 exhortations

00:28:53.299 --> 00:28:53.740
 from the

00:28:53.740 --> 00:28:54.140
 scripture

00:28:54.140 --> 00:28:55.200
 right why

00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:55.460
 is it

00:28:55.460 --> 00:28:55.860
 not

00:28:55.860 --> 00:28:57.779
 I'm not

00:28:57.779 --> 00:28:58.100
 saying you

00:28:58.100 --> 00:28:58.420
 guys are

00:28:58.420 --> 00:28:59.240
 all not

00:28:59.240 --> 00:28:59.620
 enduring

00:28:59.620 --> 00:29:00.440
 and you

00:29:00.440 --> 00:29:00.840
 have itching

00:29:00.840 --> 00:29:01.240
 ears

00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:03.440
 but it

00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:03.880
 happens

00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:04.640
 it happens

00:29:04.640 --> 00:29:04.960
 in this

00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:05.340
 fellowship

00:29:05.340 --> 00:29:06.920
 and the

00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:07.440
 exhortation

00:29:07.440 --> 00:29:07.860
 to me

00:29:07.860 --> 00:29:08.180
 and to

00:29:08.180 --> 00:29:08.580
 you

00:29:08.580 --> 00:29:09.460
 is to

00:29:09.460 --> 00:29:09.620
 keep

00:29:09.620 --> 00:29:10.039
 at it

00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:10.980
 just

00:29:10.980 --> 00:29:11.420
 keep

00:29:11.420 --> 00:29:12.039
 proclaiming

00:29:12.039 --> 00:29:12.460
 the truth

00:29:12.460 --> 00:29:12.900
 just

00:29:12.900 --> 00:29:13.299
 keep

00:29:13.299 --> 00:29:13.720
 doing

00:29:13.720 --> 00:29:14.340
 theology

00:29:14.340 --> 00:29:15.440
 for the

00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:15.680
 good of

00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:16.000
 people

00:29:16.000 --> 00:29:16.920
 and for

00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:17.299
 the glory

00:29:17.299 --> 00:29:18.039
 of God

00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:18.339
 that we

00:29:18.339 --> 00:29:18.799
 would help

00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:19.579
 others

00:29:19.579 --> 00:29:20.380
 to pursue

00:29:20.380 --> 00:29:21.700
 holiness

00:29:21.700 --> 00:29:24.660
 now I

00:29:24.660 --> 00:29:25.000
 know

00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:26.160
 broadly

00:29:26.160 --> 00:29:26.559
 as a

00:29:26.559 --> 00:29:26.920
 church

00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:28.660
 we love

00:29:28.660 --> 00:29:29.160
 theology

00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:30.420
 what a

00:29:30.420 --> 00:29:30.880
 good thing

00:29:30.880 --> 00:29:31.240
 what a

00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:31.539
 wonderful

00:29:31.539 --> 00:29:31.960
 thing

00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:33.019
 you bear

00:29:33.019 --> 00:29:33.480
 with me

00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:33.859
 the fact

00:29:33.859 --> 00:29:34.180
 that you're

00:29:34.180 --> 00:29:34.859
 even here

00:29:34.859 --> 00:29:35.400
 means you're

00:29:35.400 --> 00:29:35.980
 willing to

00:29:35.980 --> 00:29:36.460
 tolerate

00:29:36.460 --> 00:29:37.319
 some

00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:38.279
 theological

00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:38.920
 presentation

00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:40.000
 on the

00:29:40.000 --> 00:29:40.259
 Lord's

00:29:40.259 --> 00:29:40.440
 day

00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:42.259
 get up

00:29:42.259 --> 00:29:42.619
 and some

00:29:42.619 --> 00:29:42.980
 people have

00:29:42.980 --> 00:29:43.359
 said I'm

00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:43.920
 more like a

00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:44.299
 lecturer

00:29:44.299 --> 00:29:44.740
 than a

00:29:44.740 --> 00:29:45.019
 preacher

00:29:45.019 --> 00:29:46.900
 I don't

00:29:46.900 --> 00:29:47.119
 know what

00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:47.319
 to do

00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:47.579
 with that

00:29:47.579 --> 00:29:47.700
 I

00:29:47.700 --> 00:29:48.220
 sometimes

00:29:48.220 --> 00:29:48.660
 feel like

00:29:48.660 --> 00:29:49.819
 good

00:29:49.819 --> 00:29:50.119
 preaching

00:29:50.119 --> 00:29:50.420
 is a

00:29:50.420 --> 00:29:50.660
 lecture

00:29:50.660 --> 00:29:51.019
 but

00:29:51.019 --> 00:29:55.519
 we're

00:29:55.519 --> 00:29:56.000
 going to

00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:56.359
 have to

00:29:56.359 --> 00:29:56.799
 continue

00:29:56.799 --> 00:29:57.200
 or we're

00:29:57.200 --> 00:29:57.400
 going to

00:29:57.400 --> 00:29:57.700
 have to

00:29:57.700 --> 00:29:58.039
 press

00:29:58.039 --> 00:29:58.299
 and we're

00:29:58.299 --> 00:29:58.460
 going to

00:29:58.460 --> 00:29:58.700
 have to

00:29:58.700 --> 00:29:59.059
 see that

00:29:59.059 --> 00:29:59.400
 each and

00:29:59.400 --> 00:29:59.720
 every one

00:29:59.720 --> 00:29:59.940
 of us

00:29:59.940 --> 00:30:00.319
 plays a

00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:00.680
 part

00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:01.200
 in doing

00:30:01.200 --> 00:30:01.639
 this

00:30:01.639 --> 00:30:02.259
 well

00:30:02.259 --> 00:30:03.400
 together

00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:05.339
 so I'm

00:30:05.339 --> 00:30:05.500
 going to

00:30:05.500 --> 00:30:06.240
 cover again

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:06.480
 and I'm

00:30:06.480 --> 00:30:06.579
 going to

00:30:06.579 --> 00:30:06.740
 do it

00:30:06.740 --> 00:30:07.160
 in brief

00:30:07.160 --> 00:30:07.500
 because

00:30:07.500 --> 00:30:08.400
 it's

00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:08.720
 already

00:30:08.720 --> 00:30:09.059
 new

00:30:09.059 --> 00:30:10.519
 a

00:30:10.519 --> 00:30:10.879
 concept

00:30:10.879 --> 00:30:11.200
 called

00:30:11.200 --> 00:30:11.779
 theological

00:30:11.779 --> 00:30:12.519
 triage

00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:13.160
 I'm

00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:13.220
 going to

00:30:13.220 --> 00:30:13.400
 do it

00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:13.700
 quickly

00:30:13.700 --> 00:30:14.160
 we've

00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:14.359
 done it

00:30:14.359 --> 00:30:14.740
 before

00:30:14.740 --> 00:30:15.680
 if you

00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:15.960
 happen to

00:30:15.960 --> 00:30:16.200
 have a

00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:16.519
 bulletin

00:30:16.519 --> 00:30:16.799
 I just

00:30:16.799 --> 00:30:17.380
 quickly put

00:30:17.380 --> 00:30:17.759
 notes on

00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:18.019
 the back

00:30:18.019 --> 00:30:18.279
 for you

00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:18.480
 if you

00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:18.700
 want to

00:30:18.700 --> 00:30:19.000
 scribble

00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:19.420
 on the

00:30:19.420 --> 00:30:19.620
 back

00:30:19.620 --> 00:30:19.799
 of

00:30:19.799 --> 00:30:20.319
 that

00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:22.359
 I want

00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:22.579
 to tell

00:30:22.579 --> 00:30:22.839
 you that

00:30:22.839 --> 00:30:23.480
 this concept

00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:24.019
 is not

00:30:24.019 --> 00:30:24.539
 explicitly

00:30:24.539 --> 00:30:25.099
 found anywhere

00:30:25.099 --> 00:30:25.359
 in the

00:30:25.359 --> 00:30:25.620
 Bible

00:30:25.620 --> 00:30:26.140
 although

00:30:26.140 --> 00:30:26.980
 you could

00:30:26.980 --> 00:30:27.420
 argue it

00:30:27.420 --> 00:30:27.680
 is

00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:28.539
 implicitly

00:30:28.539 --> 00:30:29.579
 I

00:30:29.579 --> 00:30:29.779
 I think

00:30:29.779 --> 00:30:29.779


00:30:29.779 --> 00:30:29.779


00:30:29.779 --> 00:30:29.779


00:30:29.779 --> 00:30:30.639
 the term

00:30:30.639 --> 00:30:31.339
 was

00:30:31.339 --> 00:30:33.379
 invented

00:30:33.379 --> 00:30:33.680
 by

00:30:33.680 --> 00:30:33.980
 Albert

00:30:33.980 --> 00:30:34.220
 Moeller

00:30:34.220 --> 00:30:34.379
 the

00:30:34.379 --> 00:30:34.659
 president

00:30:34.659 --> 00:30:34.859
 of

00:30:34.859 --> 00:30:35.319
 Southern

00:30:35.319 --> 00:30:36.599
 Seminary

00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:37.539
 but it's

00:30:37.539 --> 00:30:38.139
 a practice

00:30:38.139 --> 00:30:38.460
 that has

00:30:38.460 --> 00:30:38.619
 been

00:30:38.619 --> 00:30:39.059
 happening

00:30:39.059 --> 00:30:39.420
 and we

00:30:39.420 --> 00:30:39.700
 can read

00:30:39.700 --> 00:30:40.059
 about it

00:30:40.059 --> 00:30:40.359
 throughout

00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:41.460
 the history

00:30:41.460 --> 00:30:42.319
 of the

00:30:42.319 --> 00:30:42.700
 church

00:30:42.700 --> 00:30:44.480
 triage

00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:44.779
 is the

00:30:44.779 --> 00:30:45.299
 assigning

00:30:45.299 --> 00:30:45.960
 of

00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:46.639
 importance

00:30:46.639 --> 00:30:46.920
 right

00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:47.159
 we have

00:30:47.159 --> 00:30:47.379
 a number

00:30:47.379 --> 00:30:47.740
 of medical

00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:48.200
 professionals

00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:48.799
 in

00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:50.099
 in the

00:30:50.099 --> 00:30:50.359
 church

00:30:50.359 --> 00:30:50.639
 and so

00:30:50.639 --> 00:30:50.960
 you know

00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:51.259
 exactly

00:30:51.259 --> 00:30:51.440
 what

00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:51.799
 triage

00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:52.099
 is

00:30:52.099 --> 00:30:52.399
 but if

00:30:52.399 --> 00:30:52.480
 you

00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:52.839
 note

00:30:52.839 --> 00:30:53.939
 if an

00:30:53.939 --> 00:30:54.199
 entire

00:30:54.199 --> 00:30:54.639
 bus

00:30:54.639 --> 00:30:55.019
 was in

00:30:55.019 --> 00:30:55.220
 an

00:30:55.220 --> 00:30:55.619
 accident

00:30:55.619 --> 00:30:56.119
 and there

00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:56.619
 were a lot

00:30:56.619 --> 00:30:57.119
 of varied

00:30:57.119 --> 00:30:57.639
 injuries

00:30:57.639 --> 00:30:58.159
 in that

00:30:58.159 --> 00:30:58.519
 accident

00:30:58.519 --> 00:30:58.980
 and that

00:30:58.980 --> 00:30:59.259
 entire

00:30:59.259 --> 00:30:59.819
 bus load

00:30:59.819 --> 00:31:00.220
 was taken

00:31:00.220 --> 00:31:01.079
 to the

00:31:01.079 --> 00:31:01.379
 emergency

00:31:01.379 --> 00:31:01.779
 room

00:31:01.779 --> 00:31:02.539
 somebody

00:31:02.539 --> 00:31:03.019
 there

00:31:03.019 --> 00:31:03.859
 the doctor

00:31:03.859 --> 00:31:04.339
 in charge

00:31:04.339 --> 00:31:04.639
 or maybe

00:31:04.639 --> 00:31:05.099
 the charge

00:31:05.099 --> 00:31:05.559
 nurse

00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:06.539
 would quickly

00:31:06.539 --> 00:31:07.000
 do

00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:07.899
 triage

00:31:07.899 --> 00:31:08.199
 they would

00:31:08.199 --> 00:31:08.699
 assign

00:31:08.699 --> 00:31:09.359
 importance

00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:10.359
 to the

00:31:10.359 --> 00:31:10.799
 injuries

00:31:10.799 --> 00:31:11.099
 right

00:31:11.099 --> 00:31:11.519
 somebody

00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:11.799
 bumped

00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:12.279
 their head

00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:12.939
 they can

00:31:12.939 --> 00:31:13.179
 sit to

00:31:13.179 --> 00:31:13.579
 the side

00:31:13.579 --> 00:31:14.019
 and wait

00:31:14.019 --> 00:31:14.379
 right

00:31:14.379 --> 00:31:15.419
 somebody's

00:31:15.419 --> 00:31:15.819
 got a

00:31:15.819 --> 00:31:16.439
 piece

00:31:16.439 --> 00:31:16.699
 of

00:31:16.699 --> 00:31:17.379
 bus

00:31:17.379 --> 00:31:17.819
 frame

00:31:17.819 --> 00:31:18.500
 through

00:31:18.500 --> 00:31:18.720
 their

00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:19.139
 abdomen

00:31:19.139 --> 00:31:19.759
 they're

00:31:19.759 --> 00:31:20.240
 getting rushed

00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:20.519
 to the

00:31:20.519 --> 00:31:20.799
 back

00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:21.039
 right

00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:21.299
 it's an

00:31:21.299 --> 00:31:22.399
 assigning

00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:23.019
 of

00:31:23.019 --> 00:31:24.100
 importance

00:31:24.100 --> 00:31:24.740
 how much

00:31:24.740 --> 00:31:25.280
 time

00:31:25.280 --> 00:31:25.880
 and energy

00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:26.300
 do we

00:31:26.300 --> 00:31:26.759
 give

00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:27.360
 to different

00:31:27.360 --> 00:31:28.180
 areas

00:31:28.180 --> 00:31:28.720
 of

00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:29.780
 theology

00:31:29.780 --> 00:31:30.600
 right

00:31:30.600 --> 00:31:31.460
 so you

00:31:31.460 --> 00:31:31.880
 have

00:31:31.880 --> 00:31:33.140
 in a

00:31:33.140 --> 00:31:33.360
 tier

00:31:33.360 --> 00:31:33.620
 you've

00:31:33.620 --> 00:31:33.780
 got

00:31:33.780 --> 00:31:34.759
 primary

00:31:34.759 --> 00:31:36.140
 secondary

00:31:36.140 --> 00:31:37.580
 tertiary

00:31:37.580 --> 00:31:38.280
 and

00:31:38.280 --> 00:31:39.400
 one of my

00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:39.820
 favorite words

00:31:39.820 --> 00:31:39.980
 in the

00:31:39.980 --> 00:31:40.160
 world

00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:40.900
 quaternary

00:31:40.900 --> 00:31:42.380
 doctrines

00:31:42.380 --> 00:31:43.040
 right

00:31:43.040 --> 00:31:44.280
 now I

00:31:44.280 --> 00:31:44.480
 want to

00:31:44.480 --> 00:31:44.759
 address

00:31:44.759 --> 00:31:45.019
 these

00:31:45.019 --> 00:31:45.660
 just in

00:31:45.660 --> 00:31:45.940
 brief

00:31:45.940 --> 00:31:46.240
 and I'm

00:31:46.240 --> 00:31:46.340
 going to

00:31:46.340 --> 00:31:46.640
 take them

00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:47.100
 in opposite

00:31:47.100 --> 00:31:47.420
 order

00:31:47.420 --> 00:31:48.259
 so we're

00:31:48.259 --> 00:31:48.420
 going to

00:31:48.420 --> 00:31:48.860
 build from

00:31:48.860 --> 00:31:49.160
 least

00:31:49.160 --> 00:31:49.580
 important

00:31:49.580 --> 00:31:50.060
 to

00:31:50.060 --> 00:31:50.860
 most

00:31:50.860 --> 00:31:51.280
 important

00:31:51.280 --> 00:31:51.560
 so

00:31:51.560 --> 00:31:52.259
 firstly

00:31:52.259 --> 00:31:53.980
 quaternary

00:31:53.980 --> 00:31:54.480
 theology

00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:55.079
 or

00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:56.160
 doctrines

00:31:56.160 --> 00:31:57.379
 are just

00:31:57.379 --> 00:31:57.640
 this

00:31:57.640 --> 00:31:58.039
 frankly

00:31:58.039 --> 00:31:58.319
 they're

00:31:58.319 --> 00:31:58.779
 unimportant

00:31:58.779 --> 00:32:00.640
 they don't

00:32:00.640 --> 00:32:00.920
 matter

00:32:00.920 --> 00:32:01.180
 it's the

00:32:01.180 --> 00:32:01.400
 kind of

00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:01.599
 stuff

00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:02.019
 that sometimes

00:32:02.019 --> 00:32:02.500
 people like

00:32:02.500 --> 00:32:02.759
 to sit

00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:02.960
 around

00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:03.279
 and muse

00:32:03.279 --> 00:32:03.599
 about

00:32:03.599 --> 00:32:04.960
 lots of

00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:05.559
 quaternary

00:32:05.559 --> 00:32:06.200
 conversations

00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:06.859
 on seminary

00:32:06.859 --> 00:32:07.279
 campuses

00:32:07.279 --> 00:32:07.740
 right

00:32:07.740 --> 00:32:08.339
 let's just

00:32:08.339 --> 00:32:08.799
 think and

00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:09.119
 muse

00:32:09.119 --> 00:32:10.460
 my classic

00:32:10.460 --> 00:32:11.180
 example is

00:32:11.180 --> 00:32:11.599
 is there

00:32:11.599 --> 00:32:12.180
 life on

00:32:12.180 --> 00:32:12.400
 other

00:32:12.400 --> 00:32:12.859
 planets

00:32:12.859 --> 00:32:14.799
 I don't

00:32:14.799 --> 00:32:15.160
 care

00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:18.119
 the Bible

00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:18.519
 says nothing

00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:19.379
 about it

00:32:19.380 --> 00:32:20.400
 maybe

00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:20.440
 maybe

00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:22.520
 so if

00:32:22.520 --> 00:32:22.720
 you're a

00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:22.960
 college

00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:23.260
 guy

00:32:23.260 --> 00:32:24.040
 this is

00:32:24.040 --> 00:32:24.280
 college

00:32:24.280 --> 00:32:24.560
 guys

00:32:24.560 --> 00:32:24.880
 question

00:32:24.880 --> 00:32:25.160
 I like

00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:25.360
 to ask

00:32:25.360 --> 00:32:25.480
 this

00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:25.800
 question

00:32:25.800 --> 00:32:26.860
 I won't

00:32:26.860 --> 00:32:27.140
 take a

00:32:27.140 --> 00:32:27.300
 meeting

00:32:27.300 --> 00:32:27.620
 with you

00:32:27.620 --> 00:32:27.960
 to ask

00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:28.080
 this

00:32:28.080 --> 00:32:28.400
 question

00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:29.220
 it doesn't

00:32:29.220 --> 00:32:29.440
 matter

00:32:29.440 --> 00:32:29.640
 it's

00:32:29.640 --> 00:32:30.040
 unimportant

00:32:30.040 --> 00:32:31.260
 there's

00:32:31.260 --> 00:32:31.380
 other

00:32:31.380 --> 00:32:31.660
 things we

00:32:31.660 --> 00:32:31.920
 can talk

00:32:31.920 --> 00:32:32.160
 about

00:32:32.160 --> 00:32:32.400
 but

00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:33.560
 not

00:32:33.560 --> 00:32:33.860
 that

00:32:33.860 --> 00:32:35.980
 tertiary

00:32:35.980 --> 00:32:35.980


00:32:35.980 --> 00:32:38.040
 tertiary

00:32:38.040 --> 00:32:39.580
 doctrine

00:32:39.580 --> 00:32:39.800
 these

00:32:39.800 --> 00:32:40.060
 kinds

00:32:40.060 --> 00:32:40.160
 of

00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:40.580
 things

00:32:40.580 --> 00:32:41.340
 are

00:32:41.340 --> 00:32:41.880
 important

00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:42.620
 so

00:32:42.620 --> 00:32:42.740
 they're

00:32:42.740 --> 00:32:42.900
 not

00:32:42.900 --> 00:32:43.440
 unimportant

00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:44.720
 but

00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:44.860
 they're

00:32:44.860 --> 00:32:45.160
 important

00:32:45.160 --> 00:32:45.380
 for

00:32:45.380 --> 00:32:45.840
 you

00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:46.720
 and

00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:47.179
 possibly

00:32:47.179 --> 00:32:47.519
 those

00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:47.699
 you

00:32:47.699 --> 00:32:48.099
 have

00:32:48.099 --> 00:32:48.480
 some

00:32:48.480 --> 00:32:48.720
 measure

00:32:48.720 --> 00:32:48.839
 of

00:32:48.839 --> 00:32:49.319
 authority

00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:50.139
 over

00:32:50.139 --> 00:32:51.299
 this

00:32:51.299 --> 00:32:51.439
 is

00:32:51.439 --> 00:32:51.639
 those

00:32:51.639 --> 00:32:52.139
 gray

00:32:52.139 --> 00:32:52.659
 areas

00:32:52.659 --> 00:32:52.799
 of

00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:52.959

00:32:52.959 --> 00:32:53.220
 scripture

00:32:53.220 --> 00:32:53.459
 that

00:32:53.459 --> 00:32:53.599
 we're

00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:53.779
 all

00:32:53.779 --> 00:32:53.980
 trying

00:32:55.980 --> 00:32:56.399

00:33:28.079 --> 00:33:28.440
 alcohol

00:33:28.440 --> 00:33:28.600

00:33:28.600 --> 00:33:28.980
 moderation

00:33:28.980 --> 00:33:29.319
 is it

00:33:29.319 --> 00:33:29.579
 not

00:33:29.579 --> 00:33:29.900
 okay

00:33:29.900 --> 00:33:30.259
 to

00:33:30.259 --> 00:33:30.620
 consume

00:33:30.620 --> 00:33:31.660
 alcohol

00:33:31.660 --> 00:33:32.460
 in

00:33:32.460 --> 00:33:32.920
 moderation

00:33:32.920 --> 00:33:34.200
 let me

00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:34.380
 give you

00:33:34.380 --> 00:33:34.500
 an

00:33:34.500 --> 00:33:34.819
 example

00:33:34.819 --> 00:33:35.140
 of

00:33:35.140 --> 00:33:35.860
 tertiary

00:33:35.860 --> 00:33:36.740
 type

00:33:36.740 --> 00:33:36.880
 of

00:33:36.880 --> 00:33:37.180
 thinking

00:33:37.180 --> 00:33:37.460
 from

00:33:37.460 --> 00:33:37.700
 1st

00:33:37.700 --> 00:33:38.059
 Corinthians

00:33:38.120 --> 00:33:39.100
 chapter

00:33:39.100 --> 00:33:39.460
 8

00:33:39.460 --> 00:33:39.799
 this

00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:39.920
 is

00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:40.480
 Paul

00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:40.680
 here

00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:41.019
 reasoning

00:33:41.019 --> 00:33:41.200
!

00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:41.279
 the

00:33:41.279 --> 00:33:41.579
 Corinthian

00:33:41.579 --> 00:33:42.019
 believers

00:33:42.019 --> 00:33:43.519
 they were

00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:43.799
 having

00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:44.039
 some

00:33:44.039 --> 00:33:44.579
 conflict

00:33:44.579 --> 00:33:44.920
 over

00:33:44.920 --> 00:33:45.200
 whether

00:33:45.200 --> 00:33:45.519
 or not

00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:45.720
 it was

00:33:45.720 --> 00:33:46.099
 okay

00:33:46.099 --> 00:33:46.359
 to

00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:46.639
 eat

00:33:46.639 --> 00:33:47.240
 food

00:33:47.240 --> 00:33:47.859
 that

00:33:47.859 --> 00:33:47.980
 had

00:33:47.980 --> 00:33:48.079
 been

00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:48.339
 offered

00:33:48.339 --> 00:33:48.519
 to

00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:48.859
 idols

00:33:48.859 --> 00:33:49.279
 right

00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:49.619
 so

00:33:49.619 --> 00:33:49.879
 this

00:33:49.879 --> 00:33:50.619
 meat

00:33:50.619 --> 00:33:50.759
 was

00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:50.980
 offered

00:33:50.980 --> 00:33:51.119
 to

00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:51.379
 idols

00:33:51.379 --> 00:33:51.559
 and

00:33:51.559 --> 00:33:51.720
 then

00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:51.940
 sold

00:33:51.940 --> 00:33:52.039
 in

00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:52.139
 the

00:33:52.139 --> 00:33:52.480
 marketplace

00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:53.359
 and

00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:53.460
 there

00:33:53.460 --> 00:33:53.559
 were

00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:53.779
 some

00:33:53.779 --> 00:33:53.900
 who

00:33:53.900 --> 00:33:54.059
 thought

00:33:54.059 --> 00:33:54.200
 that

00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:54.339
 was

00:33:54.339 --> 00:33:54.759
 okay

00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:55.059
 and

00:33:55.059 --> 00:33:55.220
 some

00:33:55.220 --> 00:33:55.339
 who

00:33:55.339 --> 00:33:55.480
 thought

00:33:55.480 --> 00:33:55.579
 it

00:33:55.579 --> 00:33:55.799
 was

00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:56.619
 entirely

00:33:56.619 --> 00:33:57.259
 unacceptable

00:33:57.259 --> 00:33:58.200
 listen

00:33:58.200 --> 00:33:58.420
 to what

00:33:58.420 --> 00:33:58.480
 he

00:33:58.480 --> 00:33:58.759
 says

00:33:58.759 --> 00:33:59.879
 therefore

00:33:59.879 --> 00:34:00.400
 as to

00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:00.519
 the

00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:00.740
 eating

00:34:00.740 --> 00:34:00.920
 of

00:34:00.920 --> 00:34:01.099
 food

00:34:01.099 --> 00:34:01.359
 offered

00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:01.500
 to

00:34:01.500 --> 00:34:01.799
 idols

00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:02.879
 we

00:34:02.879 --> 00:34:03.240
 know

00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:03.519
 that

00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:03.759
 an

00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:04.000
 idol

00:34:04.000 --> 00:34:04.220
 has

00:34:04.220 --> 00:34:04.440
 no

00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:04.680
 real

00:34:04.680 --> 00:34:05.240
 existence

00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:06.460
 and

00:34:06.460 --> 00:34:06.579
 that

00:34:06.579 --> 00:34:06.680
 there

00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:06.840
 is

00:34:06.840 --> 00:34:06.960
 no

00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:07.180
 god

00:34:07.180 --> 00:34:07.319
 but

00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:07.640
 one

00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:09.139
 so

00:34:09.139 --> 00:34:09.220
 he

00:34:09.220 --> 00:34:09.400
 basically

00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:09.639
 saying

00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:09.980
 we

00:34:09.980 --> 00:34:10.260
 know

00:34:10.260 --> 00:34:10.559
 that

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:10.980
 food

00:34:10.980 --> 00:34:11.179
 offered

00:34:11.179 --> 00:34:11.260
 to

00:34:11.260 --> 00:34:11.460
 idols

00:34:11.460 --> 00:34:11.960
 it

00:34:11.960 --> 00:34:12.199
 doesn't

00:34:12.199 --> 00:34:12.480
 matter

00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:12.780
 because

00:34:12.780 --> 00:34:12.920
 there

00:34:12.920 --> 00:34:13.460
 there's

00:34:13.460 --> 00:34:13.619
 no

00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:13.840
 other

00:34:13.840 --> 00:34:14.240
 gods

00:34:14.240 --> 00:34:15.360
 for

00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:15.619
 although

00:34:15.619 --> 00:34:15.880
 there

00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:16.019
 may

00:34:16.019 --> 00:34:16.159
 be

00:34:16.159 --> 00:34:16.420
 so

00:34:16.420 --> 00:34:16.800
 called

00:34:16.800 --> 00:34:17.139
 gods

00:34:17.139 --> 00:34:17.300
 in

00:34:17.300 --> 00:34:17.559
 heaven

00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:17.760
 or

00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:17.940
 on

00:34:17.940 --> 00:34:18.280
 earth

00:34:18.280 --> 00:34:18.599
 as

00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:18.800
 indeed

00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:18.980
 there

00:34:18.980 --> 00:34:19.139
 are

00:34:19.139 --> 00:34:19.440
 many

00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:20.039
 gods

00:34:20.039 --> 00:34:20.199
 and

00:34:20.199 --> 00:34:20.380
 many

00:34:20.380 --> 00:34:20.960
 lords

00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:21.720
 yet

00:34:21.720 --> 00:34:21.920
 for

00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:22.099
 us

00:34:22.099 --> 00:34:22.260
 there

00:34:22.260 --> 00:34:22.400
 is

00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:22.760
 one

00:34:22.760 --> 00:34:23.079
 God

00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:23.260
 the

00:34:23.260 --> 00:34:23.599
 father

00:34:23.599 --> 00:34:23.820
 from

00:34:23.820 --> 00:34:24.000
 whom

00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:24.380
 all

00:34:24.380 --> 00:34:24.820
 things

00:34:24.820 --> 00:34:25.000
 and

00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:25.260
 from

00:34:25.260 --> 00:34:25.699
 whom

00:34:25.699 --> 00:34:25.980
 we

00:34:25.980 --> 00:34:26.480
 exist

00:34:26.480 --> 00:34:26.699
 and

00:34:26.699 --> 00:34:26.980
 one

00:34:26.980 --> 00:34:27.240
 Lord

00:34:27.240 --> 00:34:27.460
 Jesus

00:34:27.460 --> 00:34:27.900
 Christ

00:34:27.900 --> 00:34:28.240
 through

00:34:36.460 --> 00:34:36.760
 some

00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:36.940
 people

00:34:36.940 --> 00:34:37.179
 haven't

00:34:37.179 --> 00:34:37.619
 matured

00:34:37.619 --> 00:34:37.720
 in

00:34:37.720 --> 00:34:37.880
 this

00:34:37.880 --> 00:34:38.260
 way

00:34:38.260 --> 00:34:39.039
 just

00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:39.400
 yet

00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:40.199
 but

00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:40.539
 some

00:34:40.539 --> 00:34:40.760
 through

00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:41.179
 former

00:34:41.179 --> 00:34:41.900
 association

00:34:41.900 --> 00:34:42.179
 with

00:34:42.179 --> 00:34:42.559
 idols

00:34:42.559 --> 00:34:43.699
 eat

00:34:43.699 --> 00:34:44.059
 food

00:34:44.059 --> 00:34:44.300
 as

00:34:44.300 --> 00:34:44.559
 really

00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:45.000
 offered

00:34:45.000 --> 00:34:45.260
 to

00:34:45.260 --> 00:34:45.440
 an

00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:45.699
 idol

00:34:45.699 --> 00:34:45.920
 and

00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:46.079
 their

00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:46.519
 conscience

00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:46.820
 being

00:34:46.820 --> 00:34:47.159
 weak

00:34:47.159 --> 00:34:47.340
 is

00:34:47.340 --> 00:34:47.980
 defiled

00:34:47.980 --> 00:34:48.980
 so

00:34:48.980 --> 00:34:49.240
 people

00:34:49.240 --> 00:34:49.380
 who

00:34:49.380 --> 00:34:49.480
 have

00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:49.599
 been

00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:49.920
 converted

00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:50.119
 to

00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:50.360
 Christ

00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:50.539
 were

00:34:50.539 --> 00:34:50.820
 once

00:34:50.820 --> 00:34:51.380
 idolaters

00:34:51.380 --> 00:34:51.659
 and

00:34:51.659 --> 00:34:51.800
 they

00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:51.960
 don't

00:34:51.960 --> 00:34:52.220
 think

00:34:52.220 --> 00:34:52.400
 this

00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:52.539
 is

00:34:52.539 --> 00:34:53.059
 okay

00:34:53.059 --> 00:34:53.940
 this

00:34:53.940 --> 00:34:54.820
 feels

00:34:54.820 --> 00:34:55.320
 like

00:34:55.320 --> 00:34:55.880
 an

00:34:55.880 --> 00:34:56.220
 offense

00:34:56.220 --> 00:34:56.619
 against

00:34:56.619 --> 00:34:57.860
 the

00:34:57.860 --> 00:34:58.039
 one

00:34:58.039 --> 00:34:58.199
 true

00:34:58.199 --> 00:34:58.579
 God

00:34:58.579 --> 00:34:59.980
 Paul

00:34:59.980 --> 00:35:00.179
 says

00:35:00.179 --> 00:35:00.360
 then

00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:00.699
 food

00:35:00.699 --> 00:35:00.860
 will

00:35:00.860 --> 00:35:01.059
 not

00:35:01.059 --> 00:35:01.360
 commend

00:35:01.360 --> 00:35:01.539
 us

00:35:01.539 --> 00:35:01.679
 to

00:35:01.679 --> 00:35:01.980
 God

00:35:01.980 --> 00:35:03.019
 we

00:35:03.019 --> 00:35:03.139
 are

00:35:03.139 --> 00:35:03.340
 no

00:35:03.340 --> 00:35:03.640
 worse

00:35:03.640 --> 00:35:03.900
 off

 extend

00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:39.339

 really

00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:39.980
 difficult

00:37:46.380 --> 00:37:46.559
 that's

00:37:46.559 --> 00:37:46.800

00:38:54.700 --> 00:38:54.840
 a

00:38:58.200 --> 00:38:59.100
 tertiary

00:38:59.100 --> 00:38:59.800
 particularly

00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:00.340
 but also

00:39:00.340 --> 00:39:00.840
 secondary

00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:01.320
 doctrines

00:39:01.320 --> 00:39:01.840
 and cause

00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:02.160
 us

00:39:02.160 --> 00:39:02.380
 to

 primary

00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:05.340
 doctrine

00:39:05.340 --> 00:39:05.560
 that

00:39:05.560 --> 00:39:05.920
 matters

00:39:05.920 --> 00:39:06.360
 most

00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:07.140
 I

00:39:07.140 --> 00:39:07.599
 think

00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:08.519
 this

00:39:08.519 --> 00:39:08.660
 is

00:39:08.660 --> 00:39:08.860
 what

00:39:08.860 --> 00:39:09.160
 Jude

00:39:09.160 --> 00:39:09.300
 is

00:39:09.300 --> 00:39:09.599
 talking

00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:09.880
 about

 in

00:39:10.079 --> 00:39:10.320
 verse

00:39:10.320 --> 00:39:10.599
 three

00:39:10.599 --> 00:39:10.780
 where

00:39:10.780 --> 00:39:10.920
 he

00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:11.079
 says

00:39:11.079 --> 00:39:11.500
 beloved

00:39:11.500 --> 00:39:12.420
 although

00:39:12.420 --> 00:39:12.599
 I

00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:12.740
 was

00:39:12.740 --> 00:39:13.000
 very

00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:13.240
 eager

00:39:13.240 --> 00:39:13.400
 to

00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:13.579
 write

00:39:13.579 --> 00:39:13.700

00:39:13.700 --> 00:39:13.780
 you

00:39:13.780 --> 00:39:13.960

00:39:14.800 --> 00:39:15.059
 I

00:39:15.059 --> 00:39:15.380
 found

00:39:15.380 --> 00:39:15.519
 it

00:39:15.519 --> 00:39:15.940
 necessary

00:39:15.940 --> 00:39:16.220
 to

00:39:16.220 --> 00:39:16.440
 write

00:39:19.860 --> 00:39:20.160
 once

00:39:20.160 --> 00:39:20.360
 for

 perhaps

00:41:49.460 --> 00:41:49.679
 we'll

00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:50.019
 discover

00:41:50.019 --> 00:41:50.519
 new

00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:51.079
 things

00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:51.280
 we

00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:51.420
 have

00:41:51.420 --> 00:41:51.519
 to

00:41:51.519 --> 00:41:51.699
 pick

00:41:51.699 --> 00:41:51.960
 up

00:41:51.960 --> 00:41:52.219
 and

00:41:52.219 --> 00:41:52.460
 think

00:41:52.460 --> 00:41:52.699
 about

00:41:52.699 --> 00:41:53.179
 together

00:41:53.179 --> 00:41:53.980
 perhaps

00:41:53.980 --> 00:41:54.159
 they

00:41:54.159 --> 00:41:54.300
 need

00:41:54.300 --> 00:41:54.360
 to

00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:54.500
 be

00:41:54.500 --> 00:41:54.800
 added

00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:55.400
 to

00:41:55.400 --> 00:41:56.659
 such

00:41:56.659 --> 00:41:56.780
 a

00:41:56.780 --> 00:41:57.179
 confession

00:41:57.179 --> 00:41:58.500
 this

00:41:58.500 --> 00:41:58.820
 type

00:41:58.820 --> 00:41:59.119
 of

00:41:59.119 --> 00:41:59.900
 robust

00:41:59.900 --> 00:42:00.480
 theology

00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:01.179
 thinking

00:42:01.179 --> 00:42:01.679
 together

00:42:01.679 --> 00:42:01.920
 about

00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:02.139
 what

00:42:02.139 --> 00:42:02.400
 the

00:42:02.400 --> 00:42:02.740
 Bible

00:42:02.740 --> 00:42:03.340
 teaches

00:42:03.340 --> 00:42:03.920
 us

00:42:03.920 --> 00:42:04.240
 is

00:42:04.240 --> 00:42:04.400
 going

00:42:04.400 --> 00:42:04.460
 to

00:42:04.460 --> 00:42:04.639
 be

00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:05.019
 very

00:42:05.019 --> 00:42:05.539
 important

00:42:05.539 --> 00:42:06.440
 in

00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:06.559
 the

00:42:06.559 --> 00:42:06.740
 coming

00:42:06.740 --> 00:42:07.139
 days

00:42:07.139 --> 00:42:08.820
 this

00:42:08.820 --> 00:42:09.039
 week

00:42:09.039 --> 00:42:09.179
 I

00:42:09.179 --> 00:42:09.579
 managed

00:42:09.579 --> 00:42:09.760
 to

00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:10.059
 see

00:42:10.059 --> 00:42:10.139

00:42:10.900 --> 00:42:11.219
 range

00:42:11.219 --> 00:42:11.519
 mountain

00:42:11.519 --> 00:42:11.840
 view

00:42:11.840 --> 00:42:12.599
 if

00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:13.179
 you've

00:42:13.179 --> 00:42:13.320
 lived

00:42:13.320 --> 00:42:13.440
 up

00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:13.519
 here

00:42:13.519 --> 00:42:13.699
 very

00:42:13.699 --> 00:42:14.039
 long

00:42:14.039 --> 00:42:14.139
 you

00:42:14.139 --> 00:42:14.219
 have

00:42:14.219 --> 00:42:14.360
 those

00:42:14.360 --> 00:42:14.780
 moments

00:42:14.780 --> 00:42:15.039
 where

00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:15.179
 you're

00:42:15.179 --> 00:42:15.440
 driving

00:42:15.440 --> 00:42:15.900
 along

00:42:15.900 --> 00:42:16.099
 and

00:42:16.099 --> 00:42:16.820
 the

00:42:16.820 --> 00:42:17.099
 sun

00:42:17.099 --> 00:42:17.780
 breaks

00:42:17.780 --> 00:42:17.940
 through

00:42:17.940 --> 00:42:18.039
 the

00:42:18.039 --> 00:42:18.320
 clouds

00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:18.440
 in

00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:18.539
 the

00:42:18.539 --> 00:42:18.759
 perfect

00:42:18.759 --> 00:42:19.119
 way

00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:19.280
 and

00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:19.500
 out

00:42:19.500 --> 00:42:19.800
 somewhere

00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:19.900
 in

00:42:19.900 --> 00:42:20.000
 the

00:42:20.000 --> 00:42:20.340
 distance

00:42:20.340 --> 00:42:20.699
 you see

00:42:20.699 --> 00:42:20.940
 a

00:42:20.940 --> 00:42:21.219
 view

00:42:21.219 --> 00:42:21.659
 of

00:42:21.659 --> 00:42:22.380
 the

00:42:22.380 --> 00:42:22.619
 mountains

00:42:22.619 --> 00:42:22.780
 and

00:42:22.780 --> 00:42:22.860
 it

00:42:22.860 --> 00:42:22.940
 was

00:42:22.940 --> 00:42:23.059
 one

00:42:23.059 --> 00:42:23.119
 of

00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:23.280
 those

00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:23.619
 awe

00:42:23.619 --> 00:42:24.079
 inspiring

00:42:24.079 --> 00:42:24.699
 moments

00:42:24.699 --> 00:42:24.860
 where

00:42:24.860 --> 00:42:24.900
 you

00:42:24.900 --> 00:42:25.119
 go

00:42:25.119 --> 00:42:26.219
 what

00:42:26.219 --> 00:42:26.380
 a

00:42:26.380 --> 00:42:26.699
 view

00:42:26.699 --> 00:42:26.880
 and

00:42:26.880 --> 00:42:26.980
 I

00:42:26.980 --> 00:42:27.159
 think

00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:27.480
 as

00:42:27.480 --> 00:42:27.780
 people

00:42:27.780 --> 00:42:28.420
 generally

00:42:28.420 --> 00:42:29.280
 we're

00:42:29.280 --> 00:42:29.860
 compelled

00:42:29.860 --> 00:42:30.099
 by

00:42:30.099 --> 00:42:30.659
 big

00:42:30.659 --> 00:42:31.280
 grand

00:42:31.280 --> 00:42:32.019
 long

00:42:32.019 --> 00:42:33.099
 views

00:42:33.099 --> 00:42:33.900
 I

00:42:33.900 --> 00:42:34.039
 just

00:42:34.039 --> 00:42:34.179
 started

00:42:34.179 --> 00:42:34.380
 thinking

00:42:34.380 --> 00:42:34.539
 about

00:42:34.539 --> 00:42:34.699
 what

00:42:34.699 --> 00:42:34.800
 it

00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:35.019
 was

00:42:35.019 --> 00:42:35.199
 in

00:42:35.199 --> 00:42:35.340
 me

00:42:35.340 --> 00:42:35.539
 that

00:42:35.539 --> 00:42:36.219
 caused

00:42:36.219 --> 00:42:36.539
 that

00:42:36.539 --> 00:42:36.759
 and

00:42:36.759 --> 00:42:37.400
 then

00:42:37.400 --> 00:42:37.500
 I

00:42:37.500 --> 00:42:37.759
 used

00:42:37.759 --> 00:42:38.000
 how

00:42:38.000 --> 00:42:38.159
 I

00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:38.420
 also

00:42:38.420 --> 00:42:38.759
 really

00:42:38.759 --> 00:42:39.279
 love

00:42:39.279 --> 00:42:39.719
 things

00:42:39.719 --> 00:42:40.000
 up

00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:40.579
 close

00:42:40.579 --> 00:42:41.360
 so

00:42:41.360 --> 00:42:41.820
 how

00:42:41.820 --> 00:42:42.000
 I

00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:42.340
 enjoy

00:42:42.340 --> 00:42:42.820
 finding

00:42:42.820 --> 00:42:43.360
 something

00:42:43.360 --> 00:42:44.019
 little

00:42:44.019 --> 00:42:44.739
 in

00:42:44.739 --> 00:42:44.880
 the

00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:45.219
 woods

00:42:45.219 --> 00:42:46.539
 bright

00:42:46.539 --> 00:42:46.779
 red

00:42:46.779 --> 00:42:47.340
 mushroom

00:42:47.340 --> 00:42:48.679
 don't

00:42:48.679 --> 00:42:48.800
 eat

00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:49.519
 it

00:42:49.519 --> 00:42:51.000
 you know

00:42:51.000 --> 00:42:51.340
 particularly

00:42:51.340 --> 00:42:51.779
 colorful

00:42:51.779 --> 00:42:52.199
 bug

00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:52.360
 I mean

00:42:52.360 --> 00:42:52.480
 it's

00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:52.579
 just

00:42:52.579 --> 00:42:52.739
 an

00:42:52.739 --> 00:42:53.619
 amazing

00:42:53.619 --> 00:42:53.980
 amount

00:42:53.980 --> 00:42:54.259
 of

00:42:54.259 --> 00:42:54.940
 diversity

00:42:54.940 --> 00:42:55.420
 and

00:42:55.420 --> 00:42:56.460
 creativity

00:42:56.460 --> 00:42:57.099
 and the

00:42:57.099 --> 00:42:57.400
 creation

00:42:57.400 --> 00:42:57.619
 in which

00:42:57.619 --> 00:42:57.759
 we

00:42:57.759 --> 00:42:57.940
 live

00:42:57.940 --> 00:42:58.300
 it's

00:42:58.300 --> 00:42:58.420
 just

00:42:58.420 --> 00:42:58.960
 also

00:42:58.960 --> 00:42:59.259
 awe

00:42:59.259 --> 00:42:59.699
 inspiring

00:42:59.699 --> 00:42:59.940
 to

00:42:59.940 --> 00:43:00.119
 me

00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:00.659
 and

00:43:00.659 --> 00:43:00.779
 I

00:43:00.779 --> 00:43:00.960
 started

00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:01.139
 thinking

00:43:01.139 --> 00:43:01.320
 about

00:43:01.320 --> 00:43:01.460
 how

00:43:01.460 --> 00:43:01.779
 everything

00:43:01.779 --> 00:43:01.980
 in

00:43:01.980 --> 00:43:02.119
 the

00:43:02.119 --> 00:43:02.380
 middle

00:43:02.380 --> 00:43:02.719
 all

00:43:02.719 --> 00:43:02.859
 the

00:43:02.859 --> 00:43:03.059
 middle

00:43:03.059 --> 00:43:03.500
 ground

00:43:03.500 --> 00:43:03.739
 I

00:43:03.739 --> 00:43:03.940
 don't

00:43:03.940 --> 00:43:04.359
 pay

00:43:04.359 --> 00:43:04.559
 that

00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:04.799
 much

00:43:04.799 --> 00:43:05.139
 attention

00:43:05.139 --> 00:43:05.519
 to

00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:07.380
 it's

00:43:07.380 --> 00:43:07.619
 not

00:43:07.619 --> 00:43:08.659
 inspiring

00:43:08.659 --> 00:43:08.859
 and

00:43:08.859 --> 00:43:09.319
 unbeautiful

00:43:09.319 --> 00:43:09.440
 I

00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:09.559
 just

00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:09.679
 don't

00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:09.859
 really

00:43:09.859 --> 00:43:10.000

00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:10.119
 that

00:43:10.119 --> 00:43:10.279
 much

00:43:10.279 --> 00:43:10.579
 attention

00:43:10.579 --> 00:43:10.819
 to

00:43:10.819 --> 00:43:10.960
 it

00:43:10.960 --> 00:43:11.119
 and

00:43:11.119 --> 00:43:11.779
 I

00:43:11.779 --> 00:43:11.940
 kind

 into

 my

00:43:16.980 --> 00:43:17.099
 stuff

00:43:17.099 --> 00:43:17.279
 in the

00:43:17.279 --> 00:43:17.500
 middle

00:43:17.500 --> 00:43:17.900
 all the

00:43:17.900 --> 00:43:18.159
 days

00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:18.400
 in which

00:43:18.400 --> 00:43:18.579
 I'm

00:43:19.559 --> 00:43:20.420
 trials

00:43:20.420 --> 00:43:20.679
 that I

00:43:20.679 --> 00:43:20.839
 go

00:43:20.839 --> 00:43:21.099
 through

00:43:21.099 --> 00:43:21.299
 the

00:43:21.299 --> 00:43:21.599
 work

00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:21.839
 that's

00:43:21.839 --> 00:43:22.079
 out

00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:22.799
 ahead

00:43:22.799 --> 00:43:22.940
 of

00:43:22.940 --> 00:43:23.339
 us

00:43:23.339 --> 00:43:26.480
 seems

00:43:26.480 --> 00:43:26.779
 to be

00:43:26.779 --> 00:43:26.940
 a

00:43:26.940 --> 00:43:27.339
 burden

00:43:27.339 --> 00:43:28.679
 seems

00:43:28.679 --> 00:43:29.039
 to weigh

00:43:29.039 --> 00:43:29.239
 me

00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:29.699
 down

00:43:29.699 --> 00:43:30.960
 my

00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:31.239
 once

00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:31.359
 a

00:43:31.359 --> 00:43:31.480
 day

00:43:31.480 --> 00:43:31.799
 scroll

00:43:31.799 --> 00:43:32.000
 through

00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:32.359
 twitter

00:43:32.359 --> 00:43:32.739
 makes

00:43:32.739 --> 00:43:32.879
 me

00:43:32.879 --> 00:43:33.119
 feeling

00:43:33.119 --> 00:43:33.399
 so

00:43:33.399 --> 00:43:34.039
 discouraged

00:43:34.039 --> 00:43:36.199
 the

00:43:36.199 --> 00:43:36.739
 day

00:43:36.739 --> 00:43:36.919
 in

00:43:36.919 --> 00:43:37.119
 day

00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:37.279
 out

00:43:37.279 --> 00:43:37.859
 interactions

00:43:37.859 --> 00:43:38.039
 that

00:43:38.039 --> 00:43:38.179
 don't

00:43:38.179 --> 00:43:38.359
 seem

00:43:38.359 --> 00:43:38.500
 to

00:43:38.500 --> 00:43:38.659
 go

00:43:38.659 --> 00:43:38.819
 the

00:43:38.819 --> 00:43:38.980
 way

00:43:38.980 --> 00:43:39.119
 you

00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:39.319
 want

00:43:39.319 --> 00:43:39.439
 them

00:43:39.439 --> 00:43:39.599
 to

00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:39.839
 go

00:43:39.839 --> 00:43:40.059
 the

00:43:40.059 --> 00:43:40.679
 physical

00:43:40.679 --> 00:43:41.139
 suffering

00:43:41.139 --> 00:43:41.299
 that

00:43:41.299 --> 00:43:41.419
 we

00:43:41.419 --> 00:43:42.119
 experience

00:43:42.119 --> 00:43:43.879
 from

00:43:43.879 --> 00:43:44.059
 time

00:43:44.059 --> 00:43:44.159
 to

00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:44.419
 time

00:43:44.419 --> 00:43:44.759
 in

00:43:44.759 --> 00:43:45.019
 doing

00:43:45.019 --> 00:43:45.599
 robust

00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:46.000
 theology

00:43:46.000 --> 00:43:46.319
 I

00:43:46.319 --> 00:43:46.439
 get

00:43:46.439 --> 00:43:46.619
 these

00:43:46.619 --> 00:43:46.960
 grand

00:43:46.960 --> 00:43:47.199
 views

00:43:47.199 --> 00:43:47.339
 of

00:43:47.339 --> 00:43:47.460
 our

00:43:47.460 --> 00:43:47.739
 God

00:43:47.739 --> 00:43:47.879
 and

00:43:47.879 --> 00:43:48.019
 his

00:43:48.019 --> 00:43:48.379
 promises

00:43:48.379 --> 00:43:48.639
 to

00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:48.939
 us

00:43:48.939 --> 00:43:49.279
 the

00:43:49.279 --> 00:43:49.579
 life

00:43:49.579 --> 00:43:49.719
 that

00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:50.039
 exists

00:43:50.039 --> 00:43:50.559
 beyond

00:43:50.559 --> 00:43:51.719
 this

00:43:51.719 --> 00:43:52.079
 life

00:43:52.079 --> 00:43:53.179
 and

00:43:53.179 --> 00:43:53.299
 I

00:43:53.299 --> 00:43:53.619
 also

00:43:53.619 --> 00:43:53.839
 am

00:43:53.839 --> 00:43:54.179
 shown

00:43:54.179 --> 00:43:54.500
 in

00:43:54.500 --> 00:43:54.799
 great

00:43:54.799 --> 00:43:55.339
 focus

00:43:55.339 --> 00:43:55.579
 the

00:43:55.579 --> 00:43:55.940
 things

00:43:55.940 --> 00:43:56.099
 that

00:43:56.099 --> 00:43:56.199
 are

00:43:56.199 --> 00:43:56.460
 up

00:43:56.460 --> 00:43:56.980
 close

00:43:56.980 --> 00:43:57.519
 the

00:43:57.519 --> 00:43:57.759
 way

00:43:57.759 --> 00:43:57.960
 that

00:43:57.960 --> 00:43:58.299
 God

00:43:58.299 --> 00:43:58.460
 is

00:43:58.460 --> 00:43:58.799
 working

00:43:58.799 --> 00:43:59.159
 in

00:43:59.159 --> 00:43:59.340
 the

00:43:59.340 --> 00:44:00.079
 minutia

00:44:00.079 --> 00:44:00.840
 of

00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:01.019
 my

00:44:01.019 --> 00:44:01.440
 life

00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:02.400
 it's

00:44:02.400 --> 00:44:02.539
 a

00:44:02.539 --> 00:44:02.860
 scripture

00:44:02.860 --> 00:44:04.000
 worked

00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:04.199
 in me

00:44:04.199 --> 00:44:04.519
 by the

00:44:04.519 --> 00:44:04.799
 spirit

00:44:04.799 --> 00:44:05.079
 that

00:44:05.079 --> 00:44:05.279
 helps

00:44:05.279 --> 00:44:05.400
 me

00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:05.519
 to

00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:05.779
 see

00:44:05.779 --> 00:44:06.639
 this

00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:06.920
 and

00:44:06.920 --> 00:44:07.079
 what

00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:07.219
 it

00:44:07.219 --> 00:44:07.539
 does

00:44:07.539 --> 00:44:07.699
 is

00:44:07.699 --> 00:44:07.819
 it

00:44:07.819 --> 00:44:08.099
 brings

00:44:08.099 --> 00:44:08.639
 all

00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:08.819
 of

00:44:08.819 --> 00:44:08.940
 the

00:44:08.940 --> 00:44:09.139
 middle

00:44:09.139 --> 00:44:09.360
 into

00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:09.900
 focus

00:44:09.900 --> 00:44:11.299
 it

00:44:11.299 --> 00:44:11.519
 brings

00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:12.019
 clarity

00:44:12.019 --> 00:44:12.239
 to

00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:12.639
 everything

00:44:12.639 --> 00:44:13.079
 else

00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:14.279
 that

00:44:14.279 --> 00:44:14.440
 I'm

00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:14.739
 walking

00:44:14.739 --> 00:44:15.880
 through

00:44:15.880 --> 00:44:17.219
 we

00:44:17.219 --> 00:44:17.639
 need

00:44:17.639 --> 00:44:17.779
 to

00:44:17.779 --> 00:44:17.940
 do

00:44:17.940 --> 00:44:18.299
 robust

00:44:18.299 --> 00:44:18.799
 theology

00:44:18.799 --> 00:44:19.299
 right

00:44:19.299 --> 00:44:19.619
 so

00:44:19.619 --> 00:44:19.719
 that

00:44:19.719 --> 00:44:19.819
 we

00:44:19.819 --> 00:44:19.940
 can

00:44:19.940 --> 00:44:20.159
 see

00:44:20.159 --> 00:44:20.340
 the

00:44:20.340 --> 00:44:20.739
 big

00:44:20.739 --> 00:44:20.920
 and

00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:21.059
 the

00:44:21.059 --> 00:44:21.519
 grand

00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:22.139
 where

00:44:22.139 --> 00:44:22.400
 God

00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:52.380
 is

00:44:52.380 --> 00:44:52.619
 glory

00:44:52.619 --> 00:44:53.360
 of

00:44:53.360 --> 00:44:53.500
 his

00:44:53.500 --> 00:44:53.720
 name

00:44:53.720 --> 00:44:54.880
 let's

00:44:54.880 --> 00:44:55.019
 pray

00:44:55.019 --> 00:44:55.340
 together
