00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.259
 Turn with me to the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 1.

00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:17.120
 Tomorrow marks the first day of a new year, which I am so thankful for.

00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:25.379
! While on the one hand, we will only be another day into another journey around the sun,

00:00:25.379 --> 00:00:32.339
 on the other hand, there is something seemingly significant about passing from one year into another.

00:00:33.539 --> 00:00:37.100
 Doesn't it feel like we are turning a page in a book,

00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:45.579
 closing the chapter that we call 2017 and opening the chapter that we call 2018?

00:00:46.620 --> 00:00:50.640
 Because of the grace of God to us in Jesus Christ,

00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:57.299
 we always, each and every day, have the opportunity to start afresh.

00:00:58.060 --> 00:01:06.859
 But our minds are often drawn to make new commitments at the beginning of the year that we call resolutions.

00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:16.659
 We are surrounded by people right now making resolutions and suggestions for resolutions that can be made.

00:01:16.659 --> 00:01:22.780
 And so, this morning, my prayer for us is that we can look to God's Word together

00:01:22.780 --> 00:01:28.859
 and consider how we can make resolutions that please Him.

00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:34.379
 Some have asked if resolutions are even biblical.

00:01:35.420 --> 00:01:39.219
 Should we make promises to change?

00:01:40.099 --> 00:01:44.239
 I would argue, yes, we most certainly should.

00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:53.839
 We have for us in the Scripture a pattern of God's people making promises that are pleasing to God.

00:01:53.979 --> 00:01:59.619
 I want to give you just two examples, and then we will turn our attention to today's text.

00:01:59.859 --> 00:02:04.259
 The first is found in Daniel 1, verse 8,

00:02:04.340 --> 00:02:11.979
 where Daniel resolves that he will not defile himself with the Babylonian king's food or wine.

00:02:11.979 --> 00:02:16.939
 The second example, Acts 19, verse 21,

00:02:17.179 --> 00:02:24.179
 where Paul resolves to make his way to Jerusalem to fulfill his Nazarite vow,

00:02:24.259 --> 00:02:27.639
 which was another resolve that he had made.

00:02:28.359 --> 00:02:32.000
 So, this is just two examples that are many, many others.

00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:36.500
 We ought to make commitments, right?

00:02:36.739 --> 00:02:39.459
 Promises for change.

00:02:39.460 --> 00:02:45.640
 So, let us resolve together today to change,

00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:50.640
 believing that change really is possible.

00:02:51.480 --> 00:02:55.159
 May we do so not just at the first of the year,

00:02:55.920 --> 00:02:58.920
 but may we do so at the first of the year.

00:02:59.340 --> 00:03:01.300
 Tomorrow is a new day,

00:03:01.379 --> 00:03:06.460
 and we stand on the precipice of being able to be changed.

00:03:06.460 --> 00:03:10.520
 And may we do so in a way that pleases our God.

00:03:11.379 --> 00:03:18.480
 So, our text for today is 2 Thessalonians 1, verses 11 and 12.

00:03:19.480 --> 00:03:22.719
 Before I read it, allow me to remind you, beloved,

00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.060
 this is God's word to us.

00:03:26.420 --> 00:03:29.560
 It was written for his glory and our good.

00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:36.840
 We would all do well to listen to it in order to believe its promises and obey its commands.

00:03:37.460 --> 00:03:38.780
 Begin reading at verse 11.

00:03:39.860 --> 00:03:43.599
 To this end, we always pray for you,

00:03:44.099 --> 00:03:46.860
 that our God may make you worthy of his calling,

00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:53.020
 and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power,

00:03:53.020 --> 00:03:59.420
 so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you and you in him,

00:03:59.980 --> 00:04:04.439
 according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

00:04:06.020 --> 00:04:11.100
 The outline for this morning's text, if you're taking notes, is as follows.

00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:17.019
 Number one, resolve to be holy.

00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:19.840
 Resolve to be holy.

00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:26.119
 Number two, resolve dependently.

00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:30.779
 Resolve dependently.

00:04:30.879 --> 00:04:32.699
 I have to always put a hard one for you to spell in there.

00:04:33.339 --> 00:04:34.819
 Get those wheels turning early.

00:04:35.299 --> 00:04:36.159
 Resolve dependently.

00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:40.899
 And number three, resolve for the glory of Christ.

00:04:42.539 --> 00:04:46.259
 At the age of 19 and across some time,

00:04:46.259 --> 00:04:51.399
 a young follower of Jesus Christ pinned 70 resolutions.

00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:58.579
 Promises aimed at God's glory and his, this young man's ultimate good.

00:04:59.300 --> 00:05:02.259
 The first resolution reads,

00:05:02.259 --> 00:05:09.139
 Resolve that I would do whatsoever I think to be most to God's glory and my own good,

00:05:09.599 --> 00:05:12.899
 profit and pleasure in the whole of my duration,

00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.959
 without any consideration of the time,

00:05:16.159 --> 00:05:19.879
 whether now or never so many myriads of ages.

00:05:20.599 --> 00:05:22.079
 Hence, this is the 18th century.

00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:29.579
 Resolve to do whatever I think to be my duty and most for the good and advantage of mankind in general.

00:05:29.579 --> 00:05:33.899
 Resolve to do this, whatever difficulties I meet with,

00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:37.539
 how many and how great so ever.

00:05:38.859 --> 00:05:42.819
 This young man's name was Jonathan Edwards.

00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:47.439
 He was an 18th century New England Puritan pastor.

00:05:48.500 --> 00:05:50.819
 In the preamble to his resolutions,

00:05:51.479 --> 00:05:52.539
 he wrote the following,

00:05:52.659 --> 00:05:54.719
 and I think it's there for you on the screen.

00:05:54.720 --> 00:06:01.240
 Being sensible that I am unable to do anything without God's help,

00:06:01.740 --> 00:06:06.900
 I do humbly entreat him by his grace to enable me to keep these resolutions

00:06:06.900 --> 00:06:12.940
 so far as they are agreeable to his will for Christ's sake.

00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:20.800
 So it's my intention this morning to weave Edwards' preamble through our text

00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:27.560
 to set for us an example of application for how we are to make resolutions.

00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:29.020
 So we're going to leave this up here for you.

00:06:29.100 --> 00:06:31.420
 I hope that you have your copy of God's Word open in front of you,

00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:34.360
 2 Thessalonians 1, 11, and 12.

00:06:34.420 --> 00:06:38.139
 And I'm going to do my best to weave the two together for you.

00:06:39.400 --> 00:06:43.720
 So first, resolve to be holy.

00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:50.280
 If you make resolutions that are not aimed at your holiness,

00:06:50.700 --> 00:06:55.940
 then you are setting your sights far too low.

00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:02.720
 If conformity to Jesus Christ is not the end goal of all that we do as Christians,

00:07:03.440 --> 00:07:08.740
 then we are falling miserably short of that which God has called us to.

00:07:08.740 --> 00:07:15.920
 Holiness is our high calling in Christ Jesus.

00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:21.780
 Peter wrote in 1 Peter 1, verses 13-16,

00:07:21.780 --> 00:07:27.720
 Therefore, preparing your minds for action and being sober-minded,

00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:33.920
 set your hope fully on the grace that we brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:41.199
 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance.

00:07:41.939 --> 00:07:47.920
 But as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct.

00:07:48.900 --> 00:07:51.920
 Since it is written, and he cites Leviticus 11, 44,

00:07:52.639 --> 00:07:53.420
 God speaks,

00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:58.200
 You shall be holy, for I am holy.

00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:02.800
 It is not true, as Clay said well last week,

00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:06.439
 that God accepts us as we are.

00:08:07.099 --> 00:08:11.480
 Certainly, we come to faith in Christ as sinners,

00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:17.339
 wretched, enemies of God, cut off from Him in every respect.

00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:22.879
 But having placed our faith in the saving work of Jesus Christ,

00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:25.680
 we put on His righteousness.

00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:31.199
 So God accepts us clothed in the righteousness of Christ.

00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:35.740
 He accepts us based on the righteousness of Christ.

00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:43.139
 He accepts us because we stand before Him holy because of Christ.

00:08:44.299 --> 00:08:48.600
 And because of this, this status change for us,

00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:54.539
 we have the Spirit of Christ who begins to work holiness in us.

00:08:54.539 --> 00:08:57.519
 We don't stay as we were.

00:08:57.799 --> 00:09:00.980
 We change in status, accepted, because we are holy,

00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:07.459
 and we become more holy in ever-increasing fashion.

00:09:08.860 --> 00:09:14.179
 In our text, I want first to draw your attention to the prayer of Paul

00:09:14.179 --> 00:09:16.819
 for the Thessalonian believers.

00:09:17.079 --> 00:09:19.639
 He's writing this letter to a church.

00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:21.639
 And he says,

00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:26.819
 to this end, we always pray for you.

00:09:27.220 --> 00:09:32.639
 These believers are constantly in the prayers of Paul,

00:09:32.939 --> 00:09:34.960
 as well as Savannas and Timothy,

00:09:35.100 --> 00:09:37.480
 those who were accompanying him at this time.

00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.699
 We are always praying for you.

00:09:41.240 --> 00:09:44.059
 What are they praying?

00:09:44.059 --> 00:09:48.239
 That God would make you worthy of His calling

00:09:48.239 --> 00:09:52.319
 and may fulfill every resolve for good

00:09:52.319 --> 00:09:55.819
 and every work of faith by His power.

00:09:56.039 --> 00:10:00.039
 They are praying for holiness.

00:10:01.039 --> 00:10:04.939
 These prayers are not aimless prayers.

00:10:05.979 --> 00:10:09.539
 Paul is not primarily concerned about the circumstances

00:10:09.539 --> 00:10:11.159
 of the Thessalonian believers,

00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.740
 that they would have jobs or find houses

00:10:13.740 --> 00:10:15.539
 or be in good health,

00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:16.879
 but rather,

00:10:17.819 --> 00:10:20.519
 he is firstly and primarily concerned

00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:23.519
 about their holiness.

00:10:24.659 --> 00:10:29.419
 That God would make them worthy of His calling.

00:10:29.599 --> 00:10:31.399
 Some translations say here,

00:10:31.860 --> 00:10:34.519
 count you worthy.

00:10:35.759 --> 00:10:37.860
 Now, this is all very interesting language,

00:10:37.860 --> 00:10:39.180
 is it not?

00:10:39.740 --> 00:10:41.100
 He's going to pray this thing.

00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.399
 We pray for you.

00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:44.279
 Two matters.

00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:46.159
 That God would make you worthy

00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.320
 or count you worthy of His calling.

00:10:49.220 --> 00:10:51.379
 And the rest of verse 11,

00:10:51.560 --> 00:10:53.259
 that you may fulfill every resolve

00:10:53.259 --> 00:10:56.940
 for every good and every work of faith.

00:10:56.980 --> 00:11:00.700
 These are the two things that he is praying.

00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.379
 So Paul hears saying

00:11:03.379 --> 00:11:06.720
 that God would make them worthy of His calling

00:11:06.720 --> 00:11:10.279
 or count them worthy of His calling

00:11:10.279 --> 00:11:12.040
 is to say to them,

00:11:12.560 --> 00:11:17.060
 we pray that you are in fact counted as worthy.

00:11:17.180 --> 00:11:23.220
 That you are in fact called by God in Christ.

00:11:25.060 --> 00:11:29.200
 None of us are saved of our own doing.

00:11:30.139 --> 00:11:32.879
 This was the gracious call of Christ on our behalf.

00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:35.500
 God reaches down to us

00:11:35.500 --> 00:11:38.320
 and He counts us worthy.

00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:40.679
 It's incredible reality,

00:11:41.100 --> 00:11:45.159
 this effectual call of God on our behalf.

00:11:45.820 --> 00:11:47.899
 And Paul is not so foolish to think

00:11:47.899 --> 00:11:50.580
 that those who are part of the Thessalonian church

00:11:50.580 --> 00:11:52.159
 who claim to be followers of Christ

00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:55.720
 are necessarily followers of Christ.

00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:59.419
 He is concerned as he prays for them

00:11:59.419 --> 00:12:02.460
 that they are in fact followers of Jesus Christ,

00:12:02.460 --> 00:12:06.860
 that God has counted them worthy.

00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:08.820
 And this counting,

00:12:08.980 --> 00:12:10.780
 this accrediting to them worthiness

00:12:10.780 --> 00:12:14.800
 is evidenced in the practice of faith,

00:12:14.920 --> 00:12:17.019
 which is why Paul also prays

00:12:17.019 --> 00:12:19.180
 that God on their behalf

00:12:19.180 --> 00:12:22.780
 may fulfill every resolve for good

00:12:22.780 --> 00:12:25.139
 and every work of faith.

00:12:25.940 --> 00:12:29.540
 Some translations translate the word here in ESV,

00:12:29.700 --> 00:12:31.940
 translated resolve as desire,

00:12:31.940 --> 00:12:32.600
 so it could be read,

00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:35.500
 and may fulfill every desire

00:12:35.500 --> 00:12:39.280
 for good and every work of faith.

00:12:39.620 --> 00:12:42.240
 So those who are in Christ

00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.980
 desire to please God.

00:12:46.680 --> 00:12:49.060
 The faith that they began by

00:12:49.060 --> 00:12:51.760
 is the faith that they are being

00:12:51.760 --> 00:12:55.140
 continually perfected by.

00:12:55.139 --> 00:12:58.899
 So Paul is concerned primarily

00:12:58.899 --> 00:13:03.220
 in his praying for the Thessalonians' holiness.

00:13:04.179 --> 00:13:07.199
 This was a consistent concern of Paul's

00:13:07.199 --> 00:13:10.319
 for those who claimed to follow Jesus Christ.

00:13:11.100 --> 00:13:14.179
 Because the fervent pursuit of holiness

00:13:14.179 --> 00:13:19.000
 is a marker of those who are truly converted.

00:13:19.879 --> 00:13:22.039
 Beloved, how is it that we have assurance,

00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.019
 that we can have some confidence before God?

00:13:24.019 --> 00:13:27.220
 It's because we see God working in our lives,

00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:29.980
 and we see God working in the lives of others.

00:13:30.079 --> 00:13:31.659
 We look at somebody and we can say,

00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:33.779
 with the kind of confidence a human can have,

00:13:34.019 --> 00:13:35.720
 yes, Christ's.

00:13:35.819 --> 00:13:36.960
 You belong to Him.

00:13:37.179 --> 00:13:38.600
 I can see that you have a spirit,

00:13:38.740 --> 00:13:40.279
 that you're hating the things of the world,

00:13:40.319 --> 00:13:42.840
 and you're loving the things of God.

00:13:43.079 --> 00:13:44.480
 That you're fleeing from sin,

00:13:44.480 --> 00:13:46.600
 and you're loving holiness.

00:13:47.820 --> 00:13:49.940
 It is a great, damnable thing

00:13:49.940 --> 00:13:51.539
 in many of our churches today

00:13:51.539 --> 00:13:54.480
 that decisionism reigns.

00:13:54.980 --> 00:13:56.920
 That it will be said of you,

00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:00.899
 have a confidence because you made a decision.

00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:03.200
 There are many

00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:06.000
 who are living atrocious lives,

00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:08.820
 an absolute rejection of God,

00:14:08.820 --> 00:14:11.580
 but because somewhere along the line,

00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:13.760
 they made a decision,

00:14:13.940 --> 00:14:15.800
 and then maybe a re-decision, right?

00:14:15.840 --> 00:14:16.700
 They went to summer camp,

00:14:16.740 --> 00:14:18.420
 and they threw a pine cone into the fire.

00:14:19.100 --> 00:14:21.900
 That they think this is what has saved them,

00:14:21.920 --> 00:14:23.460
 because it's what they're being taught.

00:14:23.560 --> 00:14:26.600
 And the Scripture says nothing to this at all.

00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:28.200
 How do we know?

00:14:28.640 --> 00:14:30.860
 How are we meant to know?

00:14:31.260 --> 00:14:33.820
 It's because God is at work in us.

00:14:33.820 --> 00:14:37.820
 He is fulfilling the desires that we have,

00:14:37.920 --> 00:14:40.100
 which He puts in us for good

00:14:40.100 --> 00:14:42.760
 and for work of faith.

00:14:43.379 --> 00:14:45.060
 The fervent pursuit of holiness

00:14:45.060 --> 00:14:46.940
 is a marker of those

00:14:46.940 --> 00:14:49.920
 who are truly converted.

00:14:50.700 --> 00:14:52.160
 I want you to hold your place

00:14:52.160 --> 00:14:53.200
 in 2 Thessalonians,

00:14:53.280 --> 00:14:54.379
 and let me show you

00:14:54.379 --> 00:14:56.100
 how concerned Paul was

00:14:56.100 --> 00:14:57.860
 with the holiness of those

00:14:57.860 --> 00:14:59.540
 who profess to follow Christ.

00:15:00.100 --> 00:15:01.580
 By looking at the prayers

00:15:01.580 --> 00:15:05.480
 he mentions in 4 of his other epistles.

00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:08.160
 I want you to see this point.

00:15:08.300 --> 00:15:11.060
 I want to drive it so deep within you.

00:15:11.180 --> 00:15:12.680
 Those who belong to God

00:15:12.680 --> 00:15:16.180
 love God and love the ways of God.

00:15:16.840 --> 00:15:17.759
 There are people,

00:15:17.940 --> 00:15:19.400
 even in our denomination,

00:15:19.580 --> 00:15:22.620
 that call this lordship theology

00:15:22.620 --> 00:15:25.160
 and want to call it a heresy.

00:15:26.120 --> 00:15:26.840
 That we would say

00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:29.200
 that those who are saved

00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:30.320
 are converted,

00:15:31.140 --> 00:15:32.400
 follow Christ.

00:15:32.520 --> 00:15:33.740
 And this is how we know

00:15:33.740 --> 00:15:34.940
 that we're converted.

00:15:35.700 --> 00:15:37.620
 We need to have this set straight

00:15:37.620 --> 00:15:38.660
 in our minds

00:15:38.660 --> 00:15:39.620
 for our own assurance

00:15:39.620 --> 00:15:42.140
 and for the assurance or not

00:15:42.140 --> 00:15:43.780
 of others.

00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:44.860
 So let me show you some other places.

00:15:44.980 --> 00:15:46.759
 Turn to 2 Corinthians chapter 13.

00:15:46.759 --> 00:16:05.960
 These are all Paul's epistles,

00:16:06.059 --> 00:16:06.899
 so you've got a little section

00:16:06.899 --> 00:16:07.639
 you can stay in.

00:16:08.100 --> 00:16:09.139
 I'm going to have you flip a bunch here

00:16:09.139 --> 00:16:09.460
 in a second.

00:16:09.980 --> 00:16:11.019
 2 Corinthians chapter 13,

00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:12.360
 the first part of verse 7,

00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:13.759
 Paul writes,

00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:15.639
 but we pray to God

00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:19.659
 that you may not do wrong.

00:16:20.080 --> 00:16:21.120
 Here's a standard,

00:16:21.240 --> 00:16:22.259
 a holiness standard

00:16:22.259 --> 00:16:23.080
 that he is hoping

00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:24.059
 that people will,

00:16:24.220 --> 00:16:24.980
 I'm not saying this is

00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:26.220
 a perfect holiness,

00:16:26.500 --> 00:16:26.679
 right?

00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:28.379
 But we are growing in this.

00:16:28.500 --> 00:16:29.220
 We pray to God

00:16:29.220 --> 00:16:31.980
 that you may not do wrong.

00:16:32.100 --> 00:16:33.379
 And then down in verse 9

00:16:33.379 --> 00:16:34.360
 of chapter 13,

00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:35.840
 the second part,

00:16:36.299 --> 00:16:37.700
 your restoration

00:16:37.700 --> 00:16:40.460
 is what we pray for.

00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:41.720
 Having done wrong,

00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:42.860
 we pray that your restoration

00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:44.180
 will, in fact,

00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:45.399
 take place.

00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:47.000
 Turn to the book of Philippians,

00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:47.720
 chapter 1.

00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:04.660
 Paul's concerned

00:17:04.660 --> 00:17:05.720
 in his praying

00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:06.460
 about the holiness

00:17:06.460 --> 00:17:08.480
 of the Corinthian believers,

00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:09.519
 and he's concerned

00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:10.059
 about the holiness

00:17:10.059 --> 00:17:12.380
 of the Philippian believers,

00:17:12.700 --> 00:17:14.099
 verses 9 and 10.

00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:15.519
 He writes,

00:17:15.620 --> 00:17:16.620
 and it is my prayer

00:17:16.620 --> 00:17:17.500
 that your love

00:17:17.500 --> 00:17:19.259
 may abound more and more

00:17:19.259 --> 00:17:20.720
 with knowledge

00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:22.220
 and all discernment

00:17:22.220 --> 00:17:23.819
 so that you may approve

00:17:23.819 --> 00:17:24.700
 what is excellent

00:17:24.700 --> 00:17:26.000
 and so be pure

00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:27.500
 and blameless

00:17:27.500 --> 00:17:29.319
 for the day of Christ.

00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:32.259
 Turn to the book of Colossians.

00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:34.440
 Paul is concerned

00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:35.140
 about the holiness

00:17:35.140 --> 00:17:37.940
 of the Colossian believers.

00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:39.700
 chapter 1,

00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:41.440
 beginning in verse 9

00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:42.420
 and following.

00:17:45.220 --> 00:17:46.140
 And so,

00:17:46.319 --> 00:17:47.299
 from the day we heard,

00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:48.759
 we have not ceased

00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:50.299
 to pray for you.

00:17:50.380 --> 00:17:51.120
 Here he is again,

00:17:51.259 --> 00:17:53.019
 always praying

00:17:53.019 --> 00:17:54.279
 for the Colossian believers,

00:17:54.460 --> 00:17:56.140
 asking that you may be filled

00:17:56.140 --> 00:17:57.500
 with the knowledge

00:17:57.500 --> 00:17:58.099
 of his will

00:17:58.099 --> 00:17:59.599
 in all spiritual wisdom

00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:00.579
 and understanding,

00:18:01.099 --> 00:18:02.720
 so as to walk

00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:03.500
 in a manner

00:18:03.500 --> 00:18:05.400
 worthy of the Lord,

00:18:05.579 --> 00:18:06.819
 fully pleasing to him,

00:18:06.819 --> 00:18:08.500
 bearing fruit

00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:09.659
 in every good work

00:18:09.659 --> 00:18:10.359
 and increasing

00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:11.839
 in the knowledge of God,

00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:12.980
 being strengthened

00:18:12.980 --> 00:18:14.000
 with all power

00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:15.919
 according to his glorious might

00:18:15.919 --> 00:18:18.200
 for all endurance

00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:19.519
 and patience

00:18:19.519 --> 00:18:21.019
 with joy.

00:18:21.679 --> 00:18:22.159
 Again,

00:18:22.299 --> 00:18:23.059
 concerned about

00:18:23.059 --> 00:18:23.899
 the holiness

00:18:23.899 --> 00:18:25.419
 of the Colossian believers.

00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:26.720
 And finally,

00:18:27.500 --> 00:18:28.299
 1 Thessalonians,

00:18:28.299 --> 00:18:29.700
 chapter 3.

00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:49.500
 Verse 11 and following.

00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:56.000
 This is a pinned prayer.

00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:57.339
 So Paul is praying,

00:18:57.460 --> 00:18:58.299
 now may our God

00:18:58.299 --> 00:18:59.299
 and Father himself

00:18:59.299 --> 00:19:01.180
 and our Lord Jesus

00:19:01.180 --> 00:19:02.839
 direct our way to you

00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:03.500
 and may the Lord

00:19:03.500 --> 00:19:04.900
 make you increase

00:19:04.900 --> 00:19:05.640
 and abound

00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:06.779
 in love for one another

00:19:06.779 --> 00:19:07.740
 and for all

00:19:07.740 --> 00:19:09.980
 as we do for you

00:19:09.980 --> 00:19:10.940
 so that he may

00:19:10.940 --> 00:19:12.059
 establish your hearts

00:19:12.059 --> 00:19:13.759
 blameless in holiness

00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:14.839
 before our God

00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:15.319
 and Father

00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:16.400
 at the coming

00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:17.319
 of our Lord Jesus

00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:19.720
 with all his saints.

00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:20.579
 And then turn a few pages

00:19:20.579 --> 00:19:21.720
 to chapter 5,

00:19:21.880 --> 00:19:22.559
 verse 23

00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:23.539
 of 1 Thessalonians.

00:19:23.539 --> 00:19:23.599
 1 Thessalonians.

00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:23.599


00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:23.599


00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:23.599


00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:23.599


00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:29.319
 Now may the God

00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:30.460
 of peace himself

00:19:30.460 --> 00:19:32.240
 sanctify you,

00:19:32.519 --> 00:19:33.880
 perfect you completely

00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:35.480
 and may your whole

00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:36.339
 spirit and soul

00:19:36.339 --> 00:19:36.839
 and body

00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:37.900
 be kept blameless

00:19:37.900 --> 00:19:38.619
 at the coming

00:19:38.619 --> 00:19:39.839
 of our Lord

00:19:39.839 --> 00:19:41.220
 Jesus Christ.

00:19:41.660 --> 00:19:42.640
 So Paul is very

00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:43.559
 concerned about this

00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:44.099
 as he's writing

00:19:44.099 --> 00:19:44.700
 to the churches

00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:46.119
 and as he's praying

00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:47.480
 for the churches,

00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:47.799
 right?

00:19:47.819 --> 00:19:49.519
 That people would be

00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:51.000
 found holy

00:19:51.000 --> 00:19:52.099
 in Christ

00:19:52.099 --> 00:19:53.539
 and be pursuing

00:19:53.539 --> 00:19:54.599
 holiness,

00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:55.079
 right?

00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:56.199
 Being changed,

00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:57.579
 being perfected

00:19:57.579 --> 00:19:59.139
 in ever increasing

00:19:59.139 --> 00:20:00.339
 degree.

00:20:00.879 --> 00:20:02.039
 Never perfect this side

00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:04.199
 in earthly terms,

00:20:04.339 --> 00:20:05.199
 this side of glory,

00:20:05.339 --> 00:20:06.720
 but always growing

00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:08.500
 in holiness.

00:20:09.539 --> 00:20:10.460
 Now look at Jonathan Edwards

00:20:10.460 --> 00:20:10.960
 preamble.

00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:12.439
 This is the point

00:20:12.439 --> 00:20:13.159
 that I was going to say.

00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:15.559
 Look at the example

00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:17.179
 that he sets for us

00:20:17.179 --> 00:20:18.220
 in this way.

00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:19.119
 Being sensible

00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:19.779
 that I am unable

00:20:19.779 --> 00:20:20.480
 to do anything

00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:21.559
 without God's help,

00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:22.559
 I do humbly

00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:23.059
 entreat him

00:20:23.059 --> 00:20:23.740
 by his grace

00:20:23.740 --> 00:20:24.500
 to enable me

00:20:24.500 --> 00:20:25.019
 to keep these

00:20:25.019 --> 00:20:25.660
 resolutions

00:20:25.660 --> 00:20:27.579
 so far

00:20:27.579 --> 00:20:28.960
 as they are

00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:29.799
 agreeable

00:20:29.799 --> 00:20:31.400
 to his will.

00:20:32.740 --> 00:20:33.440
 Jonathan Edwards

00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:34.400
 was concerned

00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:36.019
 with these 70

00:20:36.019 --> 00:20:36.819
 results,

00:20:36.940 --> 00:20:37.140
 right,

00:20:37.180 --> 00:20:37.799
 which directed

00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:39.640
 much of his life.

00:20:40.240 --> 00:20:40.900
 In fact,

00:20:40.940 --> 00:20:41.519
 he read these

00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:42.640
 each and every week

00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:43.200
 to himself

00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:43.759
 to consider

00:20:43.759 --> 00:20:44.660
 whether or not

00:20:44.660 --> 00:20:45.700
 he was keeping up

00:20:45.700 --> 00:20:46.220
 his end

00:20:46.220 --> 00:20:46.960
 of these promises

00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:48.480
 that he had made.

00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:49.860
 He only wanted

00:20:49.860 --> 00:20:50.539
 to keep them

00:20:50.539 --> 00:20:51.819
 so far

00:20:51.819 --> 00:20:52.360
 as they were

00:20:52.360 --> 00:20:53.339
 agreeable

00:20:53.339 --> 00:20:54.559
 to the will

00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:55.059
 of God.

00:20:56.160 --> 00:20:56.839
 And so,

00:20:57.480 --> 00:20:59.019
 we should resolve

00:20:59.019 --> 00:21:01.039
 to be holy.

00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:02.420
 Now,

00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:03.360
 I want you to be

00:21:03.360 --> 00:21:04.200
 thinking about

00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:05.039
 at this point

00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:06.299
 some ways

00:21:06.299 --> 00:21:06.860
 in which

00:21:06.860 --> 00:21:08.240
 you need

00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:08.940
 to commit

00:21:08.940 --> 00:21:09.579
 your life

00:21:09.579 --> 00:21:10.339
 to holiness.

00:21:10.920 --> 00:21:12.099
 Some things

00:21:12.099 --> 00:21:12.940
 that you may need

00:21:12.940 --> 00:21:13.980
 to sit down,

00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:15.860
 possibly pin,

00:21:15.859 --> 00:21:18.000
 for the sake

00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:18.899
 of pursuing

00:21:18.899 --> 00:21:20.059
 holiness.

00:21:20.759 --> 00:21:21.399
 And to do that,

00:21:21.479 --> 00:21:22.439
 I just want to

00:21:22.439 --> 00:21:23.019
 read to you

00:21:23.019 --> 00:21:23.979
 some of

00:21:23.979 --> 00:21:24.659
 Edwards'

00:21:25.459 --> 00:21:25.959
 resolves.

00:21:26.179 --> 00:21:26.879
 These are not

00:21:26.879 --> 00:21:27.299
 Scripture.

00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:28.759
 To be clear,

00:21:28.819 --> 00:21:29.879
 I'm not holding up

00:21:29.879 --> 00:21:30.879
 Edwards' resolves

00:21:30.879 --> 00:21:32.299
 at the same level

00:21:32.299 --> 00:21:33.159
 as Scripture.

00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:33.979
 But I want you to see

00:21:33.979 --> 00:21:34.559
 how it is

00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:35.459
 he took

00:21:35.459 --> 00:21:36.579
 Scripture's teaching

00:21:36.579 --> 00:21:37.579
 and he pulled it out

00:21:37.579 --> 00:21:38.759
 for his own life

00:21:38.759 --> 00:21:39.519
 and made

00:21:39.519 --> 00:21:40.339
 commitments

00:21:40.339 --> 00:21:41.419
 to follow hard

00:21:41.419 --> 00:21:43.259
 after Christ.

00:21:43.659 --> 00:21:44.579
 If you'd like

00:21:44.579 --> 00:21:45.339
 a copy of these,

00:21:45.339 --> 00:21:46.159
 I made some of them

00:21:46.159 --> 00:21:46.799
 available for you

00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:47.279
 in the hallway

00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:49.019
 after the service.

00:21:49.939 --> 00:21:50.639
 These were,

00:21:50.759 --> 00:21:51.480
 I think this is

00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:52.399
 from Desiring God

00:21:52.399 --> 00:21:52.839
 and they were

00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:53.980
 organized in

00:21:53.980 --> 00:21:54.819
 categories.

00:21:55.299 --> 00:21:55.779
 So you could

00:21:55.779 --> 00:21:56.720
 think in categories,

00:21:57.519 --> 00:21:58.039
 character,

00:21:58.819 --> 00:21:59.299
 habit,

00:22:00.139 --> 00:22:00.839
 relationship,

00:22:02.159 --> 00:22:03.779
 service to others.

00:22:04.619 --> 00:22:05.519
 Just listen to

00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:06.099
 some of these

00:22:06.099 --> 00:22:07.119
 commitments that

00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:08.299
 Edwards made

00:22:08.299 --> 00:22:08.799
 and consider

00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:09.659
 commitments you

00:22:09.659 --> 00:22:10.079
 might make

00:22:10.079 --> 00:22:10.939
 yourself this

00:22:10.939 --> 00:22:11.179
 morning.

00:22:13.139 --> 00:22:13.619
 Resolved.

00:22:13.619 --> 00:22:15.319
 And I love

00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:15.719
 this one.

00:22:16.039 --> 00:22:16.759
 To live

00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:17.579
 with all

00:22:17.579 --> 00:22:18.559
 my might

00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:20.119
 while I do

00:22:20.119 --> 00:22:20.579
 live.

00:22:22.259 --> 00:22:22.939
 Resolved

00:22:22.939 --> 00:22:24.779
 never to lose

00:22:24.779 --> 00:22:25.819
 one moment

00:22:25.819 --> 00:22:26.500
 of time

00:22:26.500 --> 00:22:27.719
 but improve

00:22:27.719 --> 00:22:28.819
 it the most

00:22:28.819 --> 00:22:29.899
 profitable way

00:22:29.899 --> 00:22:30.879
 I possibly

00:22:30.879 --> 00:22:31.479
 can.

00:22:32.939 --> 00:22:33.619
 Resolved

00:22:33.619 --> 00:22:34.599
 never to do

00:22:34.599 --> 00:22:35.139
 anything

00:22:35.139 --> 00:22:36.339
 which I should

00:22:36.339 --> 00:22:36.839
 be afraid

00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:37.459
 to do

00:22:37.459 --> 00:22:38.179
 if it were

00:22:38.179 --> 00:22:38.779
 the last

00:22:38.779 --> 00:22:39.259
 hour

00:22:39.259 --> 00:22:40.619
 of my life.

00:22:40.619 --> 00:22:42.500
 We will

00:22:42.500 --> 00:22:43.179
 all stop

00:22:43.179 --> 00:22:43.699
 using social

00:22:43.699 --> 00:22:44.179
 media.

00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:47.659
 Resolved

00:22:47.659 --> 00:22:48.679
 to inquire

00:22:48.679 --> 00:22:49.579
 every night

00:22:49.579 --> 00:22:50.439
 before I

00:22:50.439 --> 00:22:51.099
 go to bed

00:22:51.099 --> 00:22:52.099
 whether I

00:22:52.099 --> 00:22:52.699
 have acted

00:22:52.699 --> 00:22:53.479
 in the best

00:22:53.479 --> 00:22:54.119
 way I

00:22:54.119 --> 00:22:55.159
 possibly could

00:22:55.159 --> 00:22:56.359
 with respect

00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:57.439
 to eating

00:22:57.439 --> 00:22:58.639
 and drinking.

00:23:01.079 --> 00:23:01.679
 Interestingly,

00:23:02.679 --> 00:23:03.419
 Edwards was

00:23:03.419 --> 00:23:05.019
 effectively

00:23:05.019 --> 00:23:05.919
 a vegetarian.

00:23:08.319 --> 00:23:08.919
 Resolved.

00:23:08.920 --> 00:23:09.480
 I'm not

00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:09.980
 making any

00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:10.400
 implications

00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:10.759
 about the

00:23:10.759 --> 00:23:10.980
 way you

00:23:10.980 --> 00:23:11.259
 should eat

00:23:11.259 --> 00:23:11.700
 at all

00:23:11.700 --> 00:23:11.960
 there.

00:23:12.420 --> 00:23:12.740
 At all.

00:23:13.840 --> 00:23:14.360
 Resolved

00:23:14.360 --> 00:23:15.200
 never to

00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:15.820
 suffer the

00:23:15.820 --> 00:23:17.300
 least motions

00:23:17.300 --> 00:23:18.300
 of anger

00:23:18.300 --> 00:23:19.900
 to irrational

00:23:19.900 --> 00:23:20.720
 beings.

00:23:22.080 --> 00:23:22.600
 Resolved

00:23:22.600 --> 00:23:23.160
 never to

00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:24.080
 speak evil

00:23:24.080 --> 00:23:24.680
 of any

00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:25.779
 except I

00:23:25.779 --> 00:23:26.320
 have some

00:23:26.320 --> 00:23:26.920
 particular

00:23:26.920 --> 00:23:27.620
 good

00:23:27.620 --> 00:23:28.420
 call for

00:23:28.420 --> 00:23:28.680
 it.

00:23:29.880 --> 00:23:30.500
 Resolved

00:23:30.500 --> 00:23:30.960
 when I

00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:31.920
 feel pain

00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:32.759
 to think

00:23:32.759 --> 00:23:33.160
 of the

00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:33.560
 pains

00:23:33.560 --> 00:23:34.340
 of martyrdom

00:23:34.340 --> 00:23:35.340
 and of

00:23:35.340 --> 00:23:35.580
 hell.

00:23:37.300 --> 00:23:37.900
 Resolved

00:23:37.900 --> 00:23:38.220
 if I

00:23:38.220 --> 00:23:38.580
 take

00:23:38.580 --> 00:23:39.140
 delight

00:23:39.140 --> 00:23:39.820
 in it

00:23:39.820 --> 00:23:40.340
 as a

00:23:40.340 --> 00:23:40.980
 gratification

00:23:40.980 --> 00:23:41.560
 of pride

00:23:41.560 --> 00:23:42.160
 or vanity

00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:43.019
 or any

00:23:43.019 --> 00:23:43.380
 such

00:23:43.380 --> 00:23:43.960
 account

00:23:43.960 --> 00:23:45.120
 immediately

00:23:45.120 --> 00:23:45.980
 to throw

00:23:45.980 --> 00:23:46.540
 it by.

00:23:48.060 --> 00:23:48.700
 Resolved

00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:49.900
 to maintain

00:23:49.900 --> 00:23:51.500
 the strictest

00:23:51.500 --> 00:23:52.480
 temperance

00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:53.440
 in eating

00:23:53.440 --> 00:23:54.220
 and drinking.

00:23:55.900 --> 00:23:56.540
 Resolved

00:23:56.540 --> 00:23:57.100
 to examine

00:23:57.100 --> 00:23:57.700
 carefully

00:23:57.700 --> 00:23:58.480
 and constantly

00:23:58.480 --> 00:23:58.980
 what that

00:23:58.980 --> 00:23:59.720
 one thing

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

00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:00.580
 is

00:24:00.580 --> 00:24:00.800
 which

00:24:00.800 --> 00:24:01.480
 causes me

00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:01.900
 in the

00:24:01.900 --> 00:24:02.200
 least

00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:02.820
 to doubt

00:24:02.820 --> 00:24:03.259
 of the

00:24:03.259 --> 00:24:03.680
 love of

00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:04.000
 God

00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:04.800
 and to

00:24:04.800 --> 00:24:05.120
 direct

00:24:05.120 --> 00:24:05.740
 all my

00:24:05.740 --> 00:24:06.180
 forces

00:24:06.180 --> 00:24:07.220
 against it.

00:24:07.900 --> 00:24:09.540
 Resolved

00:24:09.540 --> 00:24:10.320
 to study

00:24:10.320 --> 00:24:10.620
 the

00:24:10.620 --> 00:24:11.000
 scriptures

00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:11.400
 so

00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:12.060
 steadily

00:24:12.060 --> 00:24:13.340
 constantly

00:24:13.340 --> 00:24:13.860
 and

00:24:13.860 --> 00:24:14.300
 frequently

00:24:14.300 --> 00:24:15.140
 as that

00:24:15.140 --> 00:24:15.420
 I may

00:24:15.420 --> 00:24:15.900
 find

00:24:15.900 --> 00:24:16.700
 and plainly

00:24:16.700 --> 00:24:17.160
 perceive

00:24:17.160 --> 00:24:17.580
 myself

00:24:17.580 --> 00:24:18.220
 to grow

00:24:18.220 --> 00:24:18.620
 in the

00:24:18.620 --> 00:24:19.120
 knowledge

00:24:19.120 --> 00:24:20.000
 of the

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:20.300
 same.

00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:22.820
 Resolved

00:24:24.280 --> 00:24:24.680
 prayer

00:24:24.680 --> 00:24:25.440
 nor to

00:24:25.440 --> 00:24:26.000
 let that

00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:26.500
 pass

00:24:26.500 --> 00:24:26.820
 as a

00:24:26.820 --> 00:24:27.160
 prayer

00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:28.080
 nor that

00:24:28.080 --> 00:24:28.440
 as a

00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:28.900
 petition

00:24:28.900 --> 00:24:29.580
 of a

00:24:29.580 --> 00:24:29.920
 prayer

00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:30.220
 which

00:24:30.220 --> 00:24:30.740
 is so

00:24:30.740 --> 00:24:31.160
 made

00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:32.060
 that I

00:24:32.060 --> 00:24:32.340
 cannot

00:24:32.340 --> 00:24:32.840
 hope

00:24:32.840 --> 00:24:33.560
 that God

00:24:33.560 --> 00:24:33.759
 will

00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:34.140
 answer

00:24:34.140 --> 00:24:34.480
 it

00:24:34.480 --> 00:24:35.280
 nor that

00:24:35.280 --> 00:24:35.540
 as a

00:24:35.540 --> 00:24:35.980
 confession

00:24:35.980 --> 00:24:36.400
 which I

00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:36.660
 cannot

00:24:36.660 --> 00:24:37.220
 hope

00:24:37.220 --> 00:24:37.700
 God

00:24:37.700 --> 00:24:38.080
 will

00:24:38.080 --> 00:24:39.040
 accept

00:24:39.040 --> 00:24:40.440
 basically

00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:40.960
 resolved

00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:41.200
 not

00:24:41.200 --> 00:24:41.540
 to

00:24:41.540 --> 00:24:42.340
 pray

00:24:42.340 --> 00:24:42.600
 bad

00:24:42.600 --> 00:24:42.960
 prayers

00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:45.340
 resolved

00:24:45.340 --> 00:24:46.480
 to strive

00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:46.880
 to my

00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:47.380
 utmost

00:24:47.380 --> 00:24:47.860
 every

00:24:47.860 --> 00:24:48.320
 week

00:24:48.320 --> 00:24:48.620
 to be

00:24:48.620 --> 00:24:48.920
 brought

00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:49.480
 higher

00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:49.860
 in

00:24:49.860 --> 00:24:50.340
 religion

00:24:50.340 --> 00:24:51.279
 he means

00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:51.680
 devotion

00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:52.160
 to God

00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:53.080
 and to a

00:24:53.080 --> 00:24:53.380
 higher

00:24:53.380 --> 00:24:53.940
 exercise

00:24:53.940 --> 00:24:54.680
 of grace

00:24:54.680 --> 00:24:55.040
 than I

00:24:55.040 --> 00:24:55.420
 was

00:24:55.420 --> 00:24:56.000
 the week

00:24:56.000 --> 00:24:56.680
 before

00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:58.700
 resolved

00:24:58.700 --> 00:24:59.279
 whenever my

00:24:59.279 --> 00:24:59.720
 feelings

00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:00.200
 begin to

00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:00.620
 appear

00:25:00.620 --> 00:25:01.080
 in the

00:25:01.080 --> 00:25:01.420
 least

00:25:01.420 --> 00:25:01.880
 out of

00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:02.240
 order

00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:03.099
 when I

00:25:03.099 --> 00:25:03.240
 am

00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:03.680
 conscious

00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:04.220
 of the

00:25:04.220 --> 00:25:04.620
 least

00:25:04.620 --> 00:25:05.539
 uneasiness

00:25:05.539 --> 00:25:06.120
 within

00:25:06.120 --> 00:25:06.920
 or the

00:25:06.920 --> 00:25:07.319
 least

00:25:07.319 --> 00:25:08.420
 irregularity

00:25:08.420 --> 00:25:08.920
 without

00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:09.880
 I will

00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:10.400
 then subject

00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:10.880
 myself

00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:11.299
 to the

00:25:11.299 --> 00:25:11.920
 strictest

00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:12.839
 examination

00:25:12.839 --> 00:25:15.079
 resolved

00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:15.559
 never to

00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:16.160
 give over

00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:16.500
 nor at

00:25:16.500 --> 00:25:16.980
 the least

00:25:16.980 --> 00:25:17.960
 to slacken

00:25:17.960 --> 00:25:18.779
 my fight

00:25:18.779 --> 00:25:19.279
 with my

00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:20.160
 corruptions

00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:21.140
 however

00:25:21.140 --> 00:25:22.359
 unsuccessful

00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:23.559
 I may

00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:23.960
 be

00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:25.420
 and so

00:25:25.420 --> 00:25:25.920
 Jonathan Edwards

00:25:25.920 --> 00:25:26.519
 as a

00:25:26.519 --> 00:25:27.539
 young man

00:25:27.539 --> 00:25:27.980
 the age

00:25:27.980 --> 00:25:29.079
 of 19

00:25:29.079 --> 00:25:29.980
 sat

00:25:29.980 --> 00:25:30.659
 and

00:25:30.659 --> 00:25:31.379
 pinned

00:25:31.379 --> 00:25:31.839
 down

00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:32.359
 these

00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:33.359
 resolutions

00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:33.799
 and

00:25:33.799 --> 00:25:34.819
 Clay and

00:25:34.819 --> 00:25:35.000
 I were

00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:35.240
 speaking

00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:35.639
 this morning

00:25:35.639 --> 00:25:36.139
 about this

00:25:36.139 --> 00:25:36.839
 and he

00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:37.839
 pointed out

00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:39.119
 not expecting

00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:39.700
 that they

00:25:39.700 --> 00:25:40.099
 would be

00:25:40.099 --> 00:25:40.700
 published

00:25:40.700 --> 00:25:41.359
 and read

00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:41.980
 by so

00:25:41.980 --> 00:25:42.359
 many

00:25:42.359 --> 00:25:43.359
 he did

00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:43.839
 this

00:25:43.839 --> 00:25:44.720
 in the

00:25:44.720 --> 00:25:45.180
 quiet

00:25:45.180 --> 00:25:45.960
 devotion

00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:46.579
 of his

00:25:46.579 --> 00:25:46.960
 time with

00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:47.339
 the Lord

00:25:47.339 --> 00:25:48.200
 he committed

00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:48.839
 himself

00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:50.180
 to holiness

00:25:50.180 --> 00:25:51.379
 he pursued

00:25:51.379 --> 00:25:51.819
 it with

00:25:51.819 --> 00:25:52.440
 every

00:25:52.440 --> 00:25:53.299
 part

00:25:53.299 --> 00:25:54.240
 of his

00:25:54.240 --> 00:25:54.599
 being

00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:55.639
 and the

00:25:55.639 --> 00:25:56.039
 very last

00:25:56.039 --> 00:25:56.299
 sentence of

00:25:56.299 --> 00:25:56.680
 the preamble

00:25:56.680 --> 00:25:56.920
 which I

00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:57.059
 didn't

00:25:57.059 --> 00:25:57.579
 think served

00:25:57.579 --> 00:25:58.119
 us well

00:25:58.119 --> 00:25:59.399
 to live

00:25:59.399 --> 00:25:59.700
 on the

00:25:59.700 --> 00:25:59.980
 screen

00:25:59.980 --> 00:26:00.500
 with us

00:26:00.500 --> 00:26:01.700
 the last

00:26:01.700 --> 00:26:01.940
 part of

00:26:01.940 --> 00:26:02.359
 it says

00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:02.859
 to read

00:26:02.859 --> 00:26:03.159
 it every

00:26:03.159 --> 00:26:03.460
 week

00:26:03.460 --> 00:26:03.720
 right

00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:04.000
 so he

00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:04.480
 went back

00:26:04.480 --> 00:26:04.919
 through these

00:26:04.919 --> 00:26:05.259
 things

00:26:05.259 --> 00:26:05.819
 across the

00:26:05.819 --> 00:26:06.220
 expanse

00:26:06.220 --> 00:26:06.460
 of his

00:26:06.460 --> 00:26:06.799
 life

00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:08.039
 and considered

00:26:08.039 --> 00:26:09.460
 his successes

00:26:09.460 --> 00:26:10.099
 and his

00:26:10.099 --> 00:26:10.720
 failing

00:26:10.720 --> 00:26:12.099
 in his

00:26:12.099 --> 00:26:12.720
 resolves

00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:14.039
 to be

00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:14.299
 holy

00:26:14.299 --> 00:26:15.599
 secondly

00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:17.299
 resolve

00:26:17.299 --> 00:26:18.059
 dependently

00:26:18.059 --> 00:26:19.799
 you are

00:26:19.799 --> 00:26:20.879
 powerless

00:26:20.879 --> 00:26:21.700
 to change

00:26:21.700 --> 00:26:22.220
 yourself

00:26:22.220 --> 00:26:22.980
 in any

00:26:22.980 --> 00:26:23.899
 meaningful

00:26:23.899 --> 00:26:24.799
 way

00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:26.220
 but God

00:26:26.220 --> 00:26:27.559
 is all

00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:28.279
 powerful

00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:30.299
 and God

00:26:30.299 --> 00:26:30.940
 desires to

00:26:30.940 --> 00:26:31.839
 change you

00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:32.759
 into the

00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:33.200
 image

00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:34.160
 of his

00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:34.500
 son

00:26:34.500 --> 00:26:36.000
 this is why

00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:37.039
 Paul so

00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:37.779
 readily

00:26:37.779 --> 00:26:38.960
 prays for

00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:39.420
 the church

00:26:39.420 --> 00:26:39.640
 right

00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:40.279
 he knows

00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:40.759
 who to

00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:41.279
 ask

00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:42.160
 for this

00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:42.779
 thing to

00:26:42.779 --> 00:26:43.079
 take

00:26:43.079 --> 00:26:43.740
 place

00:26:43.740 --> 00:26:44.140
 he asks

00:26:44.140 --> 00:26:44.519
 God

00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:44.819
 the one

00:26:44.819 --> 00:26:45.600
 who can

00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:46.460
 meaningfully

00:26:46.460 --> 00:26:47.720
 change

00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:48.660
 people

00:26:48.660 --> 00:26:49.839
 he knows

00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:50.819
 that only

00:26:50.819 --> 00:26:51.759
 God brings

00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:52.420
 about

00:26:52.420 --> 00:26:53.099
 meaningful

00:26:53.099 --> 00:26:54.819
 change

00:26:54.819 --> 00:26:55.759
 so you

00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:56.119
 see

00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:57.160
 verse 11

00:26:57.160 --> 00:26:58.180
 our text

00:26:58.180 --> 00:26:58.460

 Thessalonians

00:26:59.039 --> 00:26:59.420
 to this

00:26:59.420 --> 00:26:59.559
 end

00:26:59.559 --> 00:26:59.900
 we always

00:26:59.900 --> 00:27:00.379
 pray for

00:27:00.379 --> 00:27:00.539
 you

00:27:02.879 --> 00:27:03.960
 make

00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:04.240
 you

00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:05.059
 and

00:27:05.059 --> 00:27:05.900

00:27:06.619 --> 00:27:07.460
 fulfill

00:27:07.460 --> 00:27:07.960
 these

00:27:11.200 --> 00:27:11.519
 in the

00:31:20.659 --> 00:31:21.079
 really

00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:21.539
 hard

00:31:21.539 --> 00:31:21.839
 for me

00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:22.119

00:31:28.480 --> 00:31:29.139
 when

00:31:29.139 --> 00:31:29.240
 I

00:31:29.240 --> 00:31:29.399
 think

00:31:34.099 --> 00:31:36.939
 It's

00:31:36.939 --> 00:31:37.159
 not

00:31:37.159 --> 00:31:37.379
 a

00:31:37.859 --> 00:31:38.359
 thing

00:31:38.359 --> 00:31:38.559
 but

00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:38.699
 I

00:31:38.699 --> 00:31:38.839

00:31:41.659 --> 00:31:42.419

 so

00:39:14.339 --> 00:39:15.699
 number

00:39:15.699 --> 00:39:16.059
 four

00:39:16.059 --> 00:39:19.159
 what is

00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:19.860
 most likely

00:39:19.860 --> 00:39:20.519
 to prevent

 your

 what is

00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:22.480
 most

00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:23.039
 likely

00:39:23.039 --> 00:39:23.460
 to

00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:29.799
 need to

00:39:29.799 --> 00:39:30.239
 change

00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:30.840
 in order

00:39:30.840 --> 00:39:31.840
 for you

00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:33.420
 to change

00:39:33.420 --> 00:39:35.759
 some of

00:39:35.759 --> 00:39:35.940
 you

00:39:35.940 --> 00:39:36.299
 find

00:39:36.299 --> 00:39:36.840
 yourself

00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:39.980
 entertaining

00:39:39.980 --> 00:39:40.679
 sins

00:39:40.679 --> 00:39:42.380
 because you

00:39:42.380 --> 00:39:42.860
 stay up

00:39:42.860 --> 00:39:43.400
 way too

00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:43.679
 late

00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:46.199
 some

00:39:46.199 --> 00:39:46.460
 of you

00:39:46.460 --> 00:39:46.699
 don't

00:39:46.699 --> 00:39:47.039
 work

00:39:47.039 --> 00:39:47.279
 hard

00:39:47.279 --> 00:39:47.500
 enough

00:39:47.500 --> 00:39:47.719
 during

00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:47.899
 the

00:39:47.899 --> 00:39:48.099
 day

00:39:48.099 --> 00:39:48.199
 and

00:39:48.199 --> 00:39:48.279
 so

00:39:48.279 --> 00:39:48.379
 you

00:39:48.379 --> 00:39:48.440
 have

00:39:48.440 --> 00:39:48.879
 way

00:39:48.879 --> 00:39:49.079
 too

00:39:49.079 --> 00:39:49.279
 much

00:39:49.279 --> 00:39:49.679
 energy

00:39:49.679 --> 00:39:49.940
 at

00:39:49.940 --> 00:39:50.059
 the

00:39:50.059 --> 00:39:50.179
 end

00:39:50.179 --> 00:39:50.299
 of

00:39:50.299 --> 00:39:50.399
 the

00:39:50.399 --> 00:39:50.659
 day

00:39:50.659 --> 00:39:51.219
 to

00:39:51.219 --> 00:39:51.379
 do

00:39:51.379 --> 00:39:51.659
 things

00:39:51.659 --> 00:39:51.799
 you

00:39:51.799 --> 00:39:52.019
 ought

00:39:52.019 --> 00:39:52.219
 not

00:39:52.219 --> 00:39:52.519
 do

00:39:52.519 --> 00:39:54.099
 some

00:39:54.099 --> 00:39:54.219
 of

00:39:54.219 --> 00:39:54.319
 you

00:39:54.319 --> 00:39:54.500
 aren't

00:39:54.500 --> 00:39:54.739
 picking

00:39:54.739 --> 00:39:54.960
 up

00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:55.079
 the

00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:55.299
 things

00:39:55.299 --> 00:39:55.440
 that

00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:55.559
 you

00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:55.739
 ought

00:39:55.739 --> 00:39:55.859
 to

00:39:55.859 --> 00:39:55.980
 be

00:39:55.980 --> 00:39:56.199
 doing

00:39:56.199 --> 00:39:56.359
 for

00:39:56.359 --> 00:39:56.460
 the
