00:00:00.620 --> 00:00:07.060
 Father, we give you thanks and praise that you are a God who speaks,

00:00:07.660 --> 00:00:09.960
 that you have spoken to us by your word written,

00:00:10.620 --> 00:00:13.220
 and we acknowledge and confess before you, Father,

00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:18.000
 that you both ask for us to use the very best of our minds and our imaginations

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.559
 and our will to understand your word,

00:00:21.219 --> 00:00:25.300
 but at the same time that we can never understand your word properly by our own power.

00:00:25.699 --> 00:00:29.140
 And so we ask, Father, that in your kindness and mercy to us,

00:00:29.140 --> 00:00:34.280
 that you would pour out the Holy Spirit upon us to lead us and guide us into all truth,

00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:37.880
 to grant us the renewing of your minds, our minds,

00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:41.140
 so that we can live in a way that is good for the world

00:00:41.140 --> 00:00:43.640
 and brings you great glory and spreads the gospel.

00:00:44.299 --> 00:00:47.840
 And we ask that as you pour out the Holy Spirit upon us

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:49.219
 and as we think upon your word,

00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:54.760
 that you would grip us with the beauty and the truth and the power of the gospel,

00:00:55.460 --> 00:00:58.700
 the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus for us,

00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:02.060
 that makes us right with you when we put our faith and trust in you.

00:01:02.399 --> 00:01:06.019
 So, Father, we ask all of these things in the name of Jesus.

00:01:06.859 --> 00:01:07.200
 Amen.

00:01:07.960 --> 00:01:08.799
 Please be seated.

00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:16.840
 Those of you who come to the church know a lot of times I have conversations in coffee shops.

00:01:17.239 --> 00:01:21.259
 It's been very hard for me not to be able to have conversations in coffee shops.

00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:24.599
 It was actually so nice this week.

00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:28.599
 I think it was on Thursday for the first time in a long time.

00:01:28.739 --> 00:01:33.280
 I sat at a cafe at a table outside and had a cup of coffee

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:37.879
 and did some work on a sermon and I really felt very grateful.

00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:40.280
 Just a small little mercy.

00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:45.400
 Over the years, I've had lots of conversations with secular people.

00:01:45.540 --> 00:01:46.900
 I've developed some secular friends.

00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:50.680
 And a thing which once they get fairly comfortable with me,

00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:52.420
 they'll often tell me is this.

00:01:52.500 --> 00:01:53.640
 And it doesn't come up at first.

00:01:53.740 --> 00:01:56.000
 It's only after they start to get a bit comfortable with me.

00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:58.420
 And they might say, some of them will say,

00:01:58.480 --> 00:01:59.719
 George, I sort of envy you.

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:01.280
 I envy your faith.

00:02:01.900 --> 00:02:05.500
 I can see how it makes a big difference for you and it's really helpful to you.

00:02:05.780 --> 00:02:07.900
 But the problem I have is I just think too much.

00:02:08.819 --> 00:02:11.439
 Like, I just think and because I think,

00:02:11.500 --> 00:02:17.460
 I just can't ever see how I could ever be a Christian just because I think.

00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.580
 And they don't mean it as an insult or as a put-down.

00:02:20.699 --> 00:02:23.060
 I mean, even though it is a bit of a put-down, what you think and I don't.

00:02:23.060 --> 00:02:26.740
 Like, I mean, that's what goes through my mind because I'm proud, self-centered,

00:02:27.060 --> 00:02:28.420
 you know, just like every other human being.

00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:29.719
 What you think and I don't think.

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.900
 Like, I'll often have some cutting thoughts that fly through my mind,

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:39.620
 which hopefully in heaven I'll find out how many times that the cutting thought

00:02:39.620 --> 00:02:42.020
 that went through my mind that I should really repent of.

00:02:42.500 --> 00:02:43.879
 And it's a good thing I don't say it.

00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:47.360
 It's because one of you were praying for me at that moment that I didn't say it.

00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:49.280
 But it's well-meaning.

00:02:49.420 --> 00:02:49.900
 And you know what?

00:02:49.900 --> 00:02:53.099
 The fact of the matter is, is in many ways it's a very fair comment.

00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:58.700
 In many ways it is a very fair comment that most, that many people,

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:01.960
 because they think, they can't have faith.

00:03:02.060 --> 00:03:03.680
 Because you either think or you have faith.

00:03:04.020 --> 00:03:06.659
 I mean, the fact of the matter is, is that when I first became a Christian,

00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:09.860
 and these were, many of them were well-meaning people.

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.780
 I'm not saying that it described all of the people that were responsible for me

00:03:14.780 --> 00:03:16.620
 becoming a Christian when I was in grade 12.

00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:21.759
 But when I started to have problems with the relationship of the Bible and science,

00:03:21.819 --> 00:03:26.439
 when I started to have problems with, and a variety of issues between the Bible and science,

00:03:26.500 --> 00:03:28.140
 and I started to have problems with the problem of evil,

00:03:28.280 --> 00:03:31.439
 and I had some problems with Christianity and other religions,

00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:35.319
 and as I started to have these intellectual problems, and I go to share it with them,

00:03:35.860 --> 00:03:39.500
 many of these well, well, well-meaning godly Christians would just say,

00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:40.479
 George, you have to have faith.

00:03:41.539 --> 00:03:42.960
 Like, you just pray about it.

00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:44.060
 Just pray about it.

00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.080
 And you're a Christian, and they're not a Christian,

00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:51.120
 and they say something about how the, you know, only those who love, you know,

00:03:51.139 --> 00:03:53.219
 know the things of God, and all that type of stuff.

00:03:53.460 --> 00:03:56.840
 And it's all very well-meaning, but it was as if you don't have to have any reasons.

00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.560
 You don't have to have an account of the Bible or Christianity and science.

00:04:00.620 --> 00:04:01.180
 Just have faith.

00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:01.800
 Just believe.

00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:03.659
 And it didn't help me.

00:04:03.659 --> 00:04:09.039
 And so, and there's many, many people when you challenge them.

00:04:09.099 --> 00:04:12.199
 In fact, you see it on TVs and movies, but it's not something that's just made up.

00:04:12.259 --> 00:04:13.960
 It's many people say, well, that's just what I believe.

00:04:14.019 --> 00:04:14.740
 That's my faith.

00:04:15.079 --> 00:04:16.519
 When you challenge them with questions.

00:04:16.620 --> 00:04:20.319
 So our secular friends, when they think you have to make a choice between thinking and believing,

00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.920
 it's not a completely, it's not a completely absurd thing for them to say.

00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.779
 And in fact, it's not just that, because, you know, I think our secular friends,

00:04:29.939 --> 00:04:32.180
 if they were to really be honest, they'd say, listen, George,

00:04:32.180 --> 00:04:34.280
 in fact, Christian faith is just part of a pattern.

00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.160
 There's a pattern of all religions.

00:04:36.819 --> 00:04:37.860
 Like, look at Muslims.

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.060
 Muslims just believe that you just have to submit to God.

00:04:42.220 --> 00:04:44.819
 I mean, Muslims even believe that there's a part of the Bible, you know,

00:04:44.860 --> 00:04:47.819
 whatever was recorded in the Quran early, and then later on,

00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:50.280
 if they wanted to disagree with that and contradict it,

00:04:50.300 --> 00:04:52.460
 they even come up with a thing called abrogation.

00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.300
 Somehow everything in Quran is true, but the early parts aren't true,

00:04:55.300 --> 00:04:57.480
 and the later parts are true, and you just have to believe.

00:04:57.720 --> 00:05:00.439
 And in fact, if they know much about religions,

00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.879
 they'll know that for much of Hinduism and for much of Buddhism,

00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.319
 the mind is particularly the problem.

00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:12.100
 Like in Buddhism, the mind is the problem because the mind keeps creating difference.

00:05:12.920 --> 00:05:14.120
 That's what minds do.

00:05:14.339 --> 00:05:18.879
 The minds make distinctions, and you've got to get rid of this difference.

00:05:19.659 --> 00:05:24.560
 And in Hinduism as well, it's often, many of the purposes of the meditation techniques

00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:26.560
 is to stop the mind from working.

00:05:26.560 --> 00:05:30.280
 And when the mind stops working, then you progress in holiness.

00:05:30.579 --> 00:05:33.620
 And so for our secular friends, and they look at Christians,

00:05:33.780 --> 00:05:35.959
 they see that many of their Christians that they know,

00:05:36.819 --> 00:05:42.280
 it's just a matter of, well, we Christians are just part of a religious pattern.

00:05:42.420 --> 00:05:44.120
 So you either can have faith or you think.

00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.139
 Or you think in every other area, and then when it comes to faith,

00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:49.060
 you just stop thinking.

00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:51.420
 You put a big wall up there, you stop thinking altogether.

00:05:51.420 --> 00:05:55.780
 The text of the Bible that we're going to look at this morning,

00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:57.720
 Philippians chapter 4, verse 8-9,

00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.640
 it's a verse which I hope, the main thing I hope comes out of this

00:06:01.640 --> 00:06:05.980
 is that you desire to meditate upon this text and memorize it and meditate upon it.

00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.040
 There are going to be points, but we're going to say the text a lot

00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:12.060
 because it's a very, very powerful text.

00:06:12.420 --> 00:06:16.620
 And it's not just a powerful text because it says something that I like,

00:06:16.620 --> 00:06:20.600
 but in fact, it's one of those, occasionally you have verses in the Bible

00:06:20.600 --> 00:06:22.840
 that encapsulate the Bible.

00:06:23.860 --> 00:06:27.060
 And so the verse is Philippians chapter 4, verses 8-9.

00:06:27.139 --> 00:06:28.360
 We're going through the book of Philippians.

00:06:28.459 --> 00:06:29.840
 This is our second to last sermon.

00:06:30.500 --> 00:06:32.079
 Next week we finish the book.

00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:33.340
 And here's the verse.

00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:35.060
 And notice what it says.

00:06:36.060 --> 00:06:37.439
 Finally, brothers and sisters,

00:06:38.100 --> 00:06:40.000
 whatever is true, whatever is honorable,

00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:42.319
 whatever is just, whatever is pure,

00:06:42.579 --> 00:06:44.860
 whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable,

00:06:44.860 --> 00:06:46.699
 if there is any excellence,

00:06:47.060 --> 00:06:48.780
 if there is anything worthy of praise,

00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.720
 think about these things.

00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:55.400
 What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me,

00:06:55.540 --> 00:06:56.860
 practice these things,

00:06:57.220 --> 00:06:59.000
 and the God of peace will be with you.

00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:01.960
 Now, I'm going to read it again in a moment,

00:07:02.080 --> 00:07:04.040
 but Andrew, could you put up the first point?

00:07:05.080 --> 00:07:05.819
 Did you notice,

00:07:05.960 --> 00:07:08.500
 and in fact it's far more clear in the original language,

00:07:08.500 --> 00:07:14.259
 there's only one imperative or command in these two verses,

00:07:14.259 --> 00:07:15.860
 and the command is to think.

00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:17.939
 The Bible actually says,

00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:18.699
 think.

00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:23.680
 The Lord commands his children to think.

00:07:24.659 --> 00:07:26.620
 In fact, if you just look at it again,

00:07:26.800 --> 00:07:27.959
 it's very interesting.

00:07:28.099 --> 00:07:30.240
 There's three parts of these two verses.

00:07:30.860 --> 00:07:32.019
 If you look at the first thing,

00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.860
 the first part is the Bible sets forth

00:07:34.860 --> 00:07:37.800
 eight aspects of reality to think about.

00:07:37.899 --> 00:07:39.500
 They're not watertight compartments,

00:07:39.500 --> 00:07:41.180
 but that reality,

00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:42.660
 what we need to think about,

00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:44.519
 is in fact quite broad,

00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:45.800
 very, very wide.

00:07:46.019 --> 00:07:47.300
 And so, in fact,

00:07:47.339 --> 00:07:48.040
 it's not a ghetto,

00:07:48.180 --> 00:07:49.600
 like only think about religious things,

00:07:49.660 --> 00:07:50.639
 or only think about the Bible,

00:07:50.740 --> 00:07:52.139
 or only think about spiritual things,

00:07:52.839 --> 00:07:54.680
 or only think about math and just have faith,

00:07:54.740 --> 00:07:56.579
 or only think about history and then just have faith,

00:07:56.660 --> 00:07:59.180
 or only think about the law and then just have faith.

00:07:59.579 --> 00:08:02.319
 In fact, it says there's these eight aspects of reality.

00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.100
 What are the eight aspects of reality?

00:08:04.360 --> 00:08:05.079
 Look at them.

00:08:05.259 --> 00:08:05.959
 It's in verse 8,

00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:07.219
 and all finally, brothers and sisters,

00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:08.579
 whatever is true,

00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:10.680
 whatever is honorable,

00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:12.359
 whatever is just,

00:08:13.139 --> 00:08:14.139
 whatever is pure,

00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:15.500
 whatever is lovely,

00:08:15.739 --> 00:08:16.879
 I only have five fingers,

00:08:17.539 --> 00:08:18.659
 whatever is commendable,

00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:20.000
 if there's any excellence,

00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:21.719
 if there's anything worthy of praise,

00:08:21.959 --> 00:08:24.319
 think about these things.

00:08:24.740 --> 00:08:25.639
 So, it tells you,

00:08:25.919 --> 00:08:27.339
 there's eight aspects of reality,

00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:28.240
 think about them.

00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.019
 Think about these eight aspects of reality.

00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:32.419
 And as well as that,

00:08:32.419 --> 00:08:33.139
 read the Bible.

00:08:33.899 --> 00:08:35.679
 What Paul is saying next here is,

00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:36.219
 in a sense,

00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:37.459
 when you read the New Testament,

00:08:38.199 --> 00:08:39.699
 this is both the Old and the New Testament.

00:08:39.819 --> 00:08:40.819
 When you read the New Testament,

00:08:40.979 --> 00:08:43.359
 what you are reading is the apostolic testimony

00:08:43.359 --> 00:08:46.219
 to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus,

00:08:46.419 --> 00:08:48.559
 and how according to the apostles,

00:08:48.959 --> 00:08:50.120
 who studied under Jesus,

00:08:50.299 --> 00:08:51.419
 how you should then live.

00:08:53.359 --> 00:08:54.359
 And so, what does Paul say?

00:08:54.439 --> 00:08:54.599
 He says,

00:08:54.659 --> 00:08:56.439
 think about these eight aspects of reality.

00:08:56.959 --> 00:08:57.959
 Then in verse 9,

00:08:58.299 --> 00:08:59.219
 what you have learned,

00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:00.179
 received,

00:09:00.699 --> 00:09:01.019
 heard,

00:09:01.019 --> 00:09:02.039
 and seen in me.

00:09:03.579 --> 00:09:04.859
 Practice these things.

00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:05.480
 In other words,

00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:06.100
 live them.

00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:08.379
 And what's the promise?

00:09:08.740 --> 00:09:09.980
 The promise is,

00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:12.560
 that the God of peace will be with you.

00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:15.259
 You see the power of what the Bible is actually saying?

00:09:15.340 --> 00:09:16.720
 The Bible links,

00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.100
 even though there are many Christians who,

00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:19.580
 in fact,

00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:21.240
 accept that you just have faith.

00:09:22.279 --> 00:09:23.200
 There's thinking,

00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:25.379
 and there's faith.

00:09:25.779 --> 00:09:27.620
 There's the world that you think in,

00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:29.120
 in terms of math,

00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:29.840
 or history,

00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:31.019
 or biology,

00:09:31.539 --> 00:09:32.740
 or chemistry,

00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:33.560
 or physics,

00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:34.820
 or finance.

00:09:35.179 --> 00:09:36.139
 You think there,

00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:38.179
 but then when you come into this building,

00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:39.580
 on a Sunday morning,

00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:41.060
 you stop thinking,

00:09:41.500 --> 00:09:42.799
 and you have faith.

00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:44.500
 And what the Bible says,

00:09:44.779 --> 00:09:47.659
 is that even though this is a pattern for all of religion,

00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:51.879
 even though it's a pattern for all of religion,

00:09:51.879 --> 00:09:53.419
 that,

00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:53.899
 in fact,

00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.439
 the Bible connects thinking,

00:09:56.939 --> 00:09:58.299
 the command to think,

00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:01.379
 with a promise of his presence.

00:10:01.379 --> 00:10:05.659
 Just as a pause,

00:10:05.779 --> 00:10:07.539
 I am so glad there's children here.

00:10:08.159 --> 00:10:09.460
 And I appreciate that,

00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:09.840
 you know,

00:10:09.860 --> 00:10:10.939
 you have to take them out when they cry.

00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:11.799
 I had nine kids.

00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:12.559
 If you're a guest here,

00:10:12.580 --> 00:10:13.580
 I had nine kids.

00:10:14.059 --> 00:10:16.039
 And because I was up front for most of that,

00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:17.500
 it meant that it would be my poor,

00:10:17.580 --> 00:10:19.700
 long-suffering wife having to deal with it.

00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:20.559
 But I am very,

00:10:20.899 --> 00:10:23.059
 I am just so glad there's children here.

00:10:23.700 --> 00:10:25.480
 And I know that that means occasionally,

00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:26.759
 children will erupt.

00:10:27.820 --> 00:10:29.039
 That's what children do.

00:10:29.379 --> 00:10:30.299
 They erupt.

00:10:30.659 --> 00:10:30.940
 Anyway,

00:10:31.379 --> 00:10:32.000
 back to this.

00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:32.659
 But, you know,

00:10:32.740 --> 00:10:34.639
 this is one of the reasons I said this.

00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:35.159
 I wanted,

00:10:35.439 --> 00:10:35.580
 like,

00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:37.919
 this is why the sermon is entitled Thinking.

00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:39.399
 Thinking,

00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:41.500
 God says think,

00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:43.480
 and if you think,

00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:45.000
 I'm going to be with you.

00:10:45.379 --> 00:10:46.460
 I'm going to be with you.

00:10:47.259 --> 00:10:50.779
 It's the opposite of what the pattern of the world is.

00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:52.379
 Now,

00:10:53.299 --> 00:10:54.779
 I don't always,

00:10:54.779 --> 00:10:58.519
 I'm not always very successful in trying to communicate this to my secular friends.

00:10:59.820 --> 00:11:01.100
 And that's fine, by the way.

00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:01.279
 You know,

00:11:01.300 --> 00:11:03.560
 when you talk about Jesus with your secular friends,

00:11:04.060 --> 00:11:05.740
 if you wait to be able to talk about,

00:11:05.860 --> 00:11:07.540
 if you wait until you can do it perfectly,

00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:08.600
 you'll never talk.

00:11:10.620 --> 00:11:13.800
 And it's a bit of a matter of just trying to figure it out.

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:14.500
 And you know what?

00:11:14.500 --> 00:11:15.220
 If you fail,

00:11:16.220 --> 00:11:17.519
 that's fine.

00:11:17.580 --> 00:11:18.559
 You're saved by grace.

00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:20.120
 You're not saved because you're perfect.

00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:21.580
 And how do you learn?

00:11:21.659 --> 00:11:22.720
 You learn by trying.

00:11:22.860 --> 00:11:24.019
 You learn by taking the risk.

00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:25.519
 You learn by thinking about it afterwards.

00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:26.980
 And that's sort of how you learn.

00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:27.639
 So,

00:11:27.639 --> 00:11:30.539
 I don't always handle it very well when my secular friends say this.

00:11:31.199 --> 00:11:32.319
 But here's the thing.

00:11:33.139 --> 00:11:33.779
 Some people,

00:11:33.899 --> 00:11:34.980
 when they hear this text,

00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:36.379
 what I just read,

00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:38.799
 whatever is true,

00:11:38.939 --> 00:11:39.639
 whatever is honorable,

00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:40.580
 whatever is just,

00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:41.319
 whatever is pure,

00:11:41.419 --> 00:11:42.100
 whatever is lovely,

00:11:42.199 --> 00:11:43.039
 whatever is commendable,

00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:43.879
 if there's any excellence,

00:11:43.980 --> 00:11:45.199
 if there's anything worthy of praise,

00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:46.100
 think about these things.

00:11:46.100 --> 00:11:47.480
 What they don't get is the thing.

00:11:48.040 --> 00:11:50.060
 But what they get is all those other things.

00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:52.159
 And in fact,

00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:55.300
 it's a very common problem in certain Christian circles

00:11:55.300 --> 00:11:58.420
 that this text will be a proof text

00:11:58.420 --> 00:12:00.120
 to basic,

00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:01.340
 here's what it is.

00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:02.040
 For many people,

00:12:02.100 --> 00:12:03.759
 when they read this at first glance,

00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:07.100
 what they think it means is you've got to love the best things.

00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:08.680
 And what does that mean?

00:12:09.139 --> 00:12:11.660
 All you folks who listen to country music,

00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:14.040
 has to be opera.

00:12:14.980 --> 00:12:15.300
 Okay?

00:12:15.299 --> 00:12:17.039
 All those people who like the funnies

00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.019
 and the comics in the paper,

00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:21.599
 you've got to go to the National Art Gallery.

00:12:21.939 --> 00:12:24.319
 All of those of you who like reading Stephen King

00:12:24.319 --> 00:12:26.679
 or something like that,

00:12:26.740 --> 00:12:27.419
 I mean, for some of you,

00:12:27.459 --> 00:12:28.779
 people actually read a book?

00:12:29.099 --> 00:12:30.539
 For those of you who even read a book,

00:12:31.419 --> 00:12:31.939
 Stephen King,

00:12:32.079 --> 00:12:33.459
 has to be Shakespeare.

00:12:33.979 --> 00:12:35.279
 And that's how many people take it.

00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:37.479
 That real Christians read Shakespeare,

00:12:37.620 --> 00:12:38.259
 listen to opera,

00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:39.099
 listen to Bach,

00:12:39.199 --> 00:12:40.399
 don't listen to popular music,

00:12:40.539 --> 00:12:41.539
 definitely not country,

00:12:42.000 --> 00:12:43.139
 and all of that other type.

00:12:43.139 --> 00:12:44.120
 But definitely not hip-hop.

00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:45.980
 I want to be equal opportunity here as well,

00:12:46.060 --> 00:12:48.480
 that you're only listening to opera and Bach.

00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:49.740
 And in other words,

00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:50.740
 how they take this

00:12:50.740 --> 00:12:52.759
 is that you have to fit in with the elite culture.

00:12:53.940 --> 00:12:56.320
 And whatever the cultural elite says is the elite,

00:12:56.519 --> 00:12:57.460
 that's what you have to do.

00:12:57.639 --> 00:12:58.940
 That's not what the text says at all.

00:12:59.019 --> 00:12:59.500
 It's interesting,

00:12:59.639 --> 00:12:59.919
 Christians,

00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:00.799
 when they talk about that,

00:13:00.860 --> 00:13:02.779
 they forget about the gospel all of a second.

00:13:02.779 --> 00:13:09.059
 The Bible doesn't ever baptize cultural elites.

00:13:10.459 --> 00:13:11.879
 In fact, if you read the Bible,

00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:13.480
 what is the Bible always doing?

00:13:13.779 --> 00:13:15.539
 It's always undercutting

00:13:15.539 --> 00:13:18.539
 the claims of the powerful

00:13:18.539 --> 00:13:20.419
 to humble us

00:13:20.419 --> 00:13:22.299
 before the triune God.

00:13:23.579 --> 00:13:25.899
 So what's going on here in this particular text?

00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:27.579
 Try to explain what's going on.

00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:28.039
 And in fact,

00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:30.199
 actually what the Bible text actually is saying

00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:31.000
 is it's not saying

00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:32.460
 you have to stop listening to country music

00:13:32.460 --> 00:13:34.620
 and have to start listening to Bach.

00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:38.000
 It's not saying you shouldn't listen to Bach,

00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:38.400
 by the way,

00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:40.000
 and that you have to listen to country music.

00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:40.720
 It's just saying,

00:13:40.820 --> 00:13:41.700
 it's not saying

00:13:41.700 --> 00:13:43.200
 that you have to fit in with

00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:45.379
 however the elites in Canada

00:13:45.379 --> 00:13:47.780
 define the excellent and the worthy.

00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:49.540
 The gospel and the Bible

00:13:49.540 --> 00:13:51.220
 defines the worthy,

00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:53.100
 not the elite culture.

00:13:53.100 --> 00:13:56.399
 But what this text is actually saying

00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:58.340
 is something which is very troublesome

00:13:58.340 --> 00:14:00.139
 and challenging to Canadians.

00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:02.320
 And I'll illustrate it

00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:03.920
 with two quotes from C.S. Lewis.

00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:06.740
 The first quote is this,

00:14:07.820 --> 00:14:11.040
 there is no neutral ground in the universe.

00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:13.240
 Every square inch,

00:14:13.800 --> 00:14:15.180
 every split second

00:14:15.180 --> 00:14:17.000
 is claimed by God.

00:14:17.860 --> 00:14:18.560
 I'll say it again.

00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.839
 There is no neutral ground in the universe.

00:14:23.479 --> 00:14:25.439
 Every square inch,

00:14:26.179 --> 00:14:28.199
 every split second

00:14:28.199 --> 00:14:30.159
 is claimed by God.

00:14:30.779 --> 00:14:32.299
 That's what we Christians believe.

00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:34.019
 We Christians believe

00:14:34.019 --> 00:14:35.199
 that the triune God,

00:14:35.299 --> 00:14:36.879
 the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

00:14:37.019 --> 00:14:38.339
 three persons, one God,

00:14:38.779 --> 00:14:40.079
 who for all eternity,

00:14:40.239 --> 00:14:41.019
 outside of time,

00:14:41.099 --> 00:14:41.959
 before there was anything

00:14:41.959 --> 00:14:42.839
 that was ever created,

00:14:42.939 --> 00:14:44.039
 the Father loved the Son

00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:45.519
 and the Father knew the Son

00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:46.699
 and the Son knew the Father

00:14:46.699 --> 00:14:47.519
 and loved the Father

00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:49.819
 and the Father knew truth about the Son

00:14:49.819 --> 00:14:51.579
 and the Son knew the truth about the Father

00:14:51.579 --> 00:14:53.480
 and the Father sees the beauty of the Son

00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:55.120
 and the Son sees the beauty of the Father

00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:57.319
 and the Holy Spirit, of course,

00:14:57.399 --> 00:14:58.340
 is in there as well

00:14:58.340 --> 00:14:59.259
 as in a sense

00:14:59.259 --> 00:15:00.720
 both the means of the communication

00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:02.879
 but also the person himself

00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:04.019
 and that from all eternity

00:15:04.019 --> 00:15:06.220
 there is this love,

00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:07.319
 there is a truth,

00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:08.539
 there is reciprocity,

00:15:08.679 --> 00:15:10.240
 there is both stillness and movement

00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:11.240
 and this is going out of

00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:12.439
 from all eternity

00:15:12.439 --> 00:15:13.519
 and out of nothing.

00:15:14.299 --> 00:15:14.960
 God the Father,

00:15:15.100 --> 00:15:15.699
 God the Son,

00:15:15.819 --> 00:15:16.740
 God the Holy Spirit,

00:15:16.740 --> 00:15:17.480
 three persons,

00:15:17.600 --> 00:15:18.019
 one God,

00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:18.899
 out of nothing,

00:15:19.019 --> 00:15:20.620
 God creates all things

00:15:20.620 --> 00:15:21.940
 and out of nothing,

00:15:22.060 --> 00:15:23.620
 God creates all things

00:15:23.620 --> 00:15:25.299
 and sustains everything in existence

00:15:25.299 --> 00:15:26.600
 in every single second,

00:15:26.740 --> 00:15:27.919
 every split second

00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:29.659
 is sustained by God,

00:15:29.860 --> 00:15:31.680
 every square inch of the universe

00:15:31.680 --> 00:15:33.519
 is sustained by God

00:15:33.519 --> 00:15:34.879
 and God is sovereign

00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:36.440
 over every split second

00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:38.320
 and over every square inch

00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:40.060
 and not only is God sovereign

00:15:40.060 --> 00:15:41.360
 but God will bring

00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.100
 this created order,

00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:43.899
 this universe,

00:15:44.039 --> 00:15:44.960
 to its proper end

00:15:44.960 --> 00:15:46.100
 at his determination

00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:48.019
 and he will bring it

00:15:48.019 --> 00:15:48.960
 to its proper end

00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:50.120
 every square inch

00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:51.700
 and every split second

00:15:51.700 --> 00:15:52.740
 with nothing left.

00:15:52.740 --> 00:15:58.299
 when I am redeemed by Jesus,

00:15:58.399 --> 00:15:59.240
 when I put my faith

00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:00.299
 and trust in Jesus,

00:16:00.899 --> 00:16:02.139
 what is redeemed

00:16:02.139 --> 00:16:04.139
 is every square inch

00:16:04.139 --> 00:16:05.019
 of who George is

00:16:05.019 --> 00:16:06.060
 and every split second

00:16:06.060 --> 00:16:07.000
 of who George is

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:07.560
 from the moment

00:16:07.560 --> 00:16:08.480
 of my conception

00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:10.100
 in my mother's womb

00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:11.460
 to the moment

00:16:11.460 --> 00:16:13.200
 and I hope

00:16:13.200 --> 00:16:14.299
 unless Jesus comes back

00:16:14.299 --> 00:16:14.940
 and I hope it's not

00:16:14.940 --> 00:16:16.039
 for another 40 years

00:16:16.039 --> 00:16:17.500
 until I die

00:16:17.500 --> 00:16:19.180
 and even that

00:16:19.180 --> 00:16:19.899
 which is future

00:16:19.899 --> 00:16:21.299
 is redeemed by Jesus,

00:16:21.299 --> 00:16:22.859
 every square inch

00:16:22.859 --> 00:16:23.779
 of who George is

00:16:23.779 --> 00:16:25.059
 and every split second

00:16:25.059 --> 00:16:26.279
 of who George is

00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:28.719
 is redeemed by Jesus.

00:16:29.759 --> 00:16:31.159
 My sexuality,

00:16:31.699 --> 00:16:32.979
 my mind,

00:16:33.459 --> 00:16:34.779
 my body,

00:16:35.399 --> 00:16:36.419
 my imagination,

00:16:36.859 --> 00:16:37.419
 my heart,

00:16:37.559 --> 00:16:38.019
 my will,

00:16:38.139 --> 00:16:38.919
 my finances,

00:16:39.099 --> 00:16:39.599
 my house,

00:16:39.719 --> 00:16:40.279
 my car,

00:16:40.779 --> 00:16:41.259
 my wife,

00:16:41.379 --> 00:16:41.899
 my children,

00:16:42.139 --> 00:16:43.639
 everything that makes me

00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:44.179
 me,

00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:46.659
 everything that makes you

00:16:46.659 --> 00:16:47.279
 you

00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:49.500
 is redeemed by Jesus.

00:16:49.500 --> 00:16:51.139
 the same God

00:16:51.139 --> 00:16:51.919
 who has created

00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:52.539
 the entire,

00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:53.519
 every square inch

00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:54.000
 of the universe

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:55.620
 and is God

00:16:55.620 --> 00:16:57.320
 for every split second

00:16:57.320 --> 00:16:59.059
 in every square inch

00:16:59.059 --> 00:17:00.500
 in the entire universe.

00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:04.019
 And C.S. Lewis

00:17:04.019 --> 00:17:05.240
 also said this,

00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:07.799
 I believe in Christianity

00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:08.640
 as I believe

00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:09.380
 that the sun,

00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:10.880
 and he's spelling it S-U-N,

00:17:11.539 --> 00:17:12.900
 I believe in Christianity

00:17:12.900 --> 00:17:13.480
 as I believe

00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:15.119
 that the sun has risen

00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:17.539
 not only because I see it

00:17:17.539 --> 00:17:19.239
 but because by it

00:17:19.239 --> 00:17:20.799
 I see everything else.

00:17:21.199 --> 00:17:22.279
 Isn't that a brilliant quote?

00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:24.299
 I believe in Christianity

00:17:24.299 --> 00:17:25.139
 as I believe

00:17:25.139 --> 00:17:26.719
 that the sun has risen

00:17:26.719 --> 00:17:29.219
 not only because I see it

00:17:29.219 --> 00:17:31.239
 but because by it

00:17:31.239 --> 00:17:34.439
 I see everything else.

00:17:35.259 --> 00:17:36.199
 So in other words,

00:17:36.239 --> 00:17:37.179
 when you become a Christian,

00:17:37.179 --> 00:17:38.119
 it's not an invitation

00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:39.539
 to live in a Christian ghetto.

00:17:40.159 --> 00:17:41.519
 When you become a Christian,

00:17:41.759 --> 00:17:43.019
 it's not an invitation

00:17:43.019 --> 00:17:44.160
 to only,

00:17:44.500 --> 00:17:45.160
 yet you think,

00:17:45.299 --> 00:17:45.440
 you know,

00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:46.559
 in your day job

00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:48.799
 you code software

00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:51.099
 or you build bridges

00:17:51.099 --> 00:17:53.039
 or you figure out dances

00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:55.240
 or you manage households

00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.799
 or you do money markets

00:17:57.799 --> 00:17:59.740
 or you work in the bureaucracy

00:17:59.740 --> 00:18:01.180
 or you're a lawyer

00:18:01.180 --> 00:18:02.900
 or you're a carpenter

00:18:02.900 --> 00:18:03.819
 or you're a plumber

00:18:03.819 --> 00:18:04.720
 or you're a truck driver

00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:05.299
 and you think

00:18:05.299 --> 00:18:05.940
 in all those areas

00:18:05.940 --> 00:18:06.799
 but you come in the doors.

00:18:06.900 --> 00:18:07.900
 Here you don't think,

00:18:07.980 --> 00:18:08.660
 you just have faith.

00:18:08.740 --> 00:18:09.839
 That's not the way it is.

00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:11.960
 Why do I say that?

00:18:12.019 --> 00:18:12.440
 Why do I say that?

00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:13.580
 Because what does the Bible say here?

00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:14.680
 Finally, brothers and sisters,

00:18:14.820 --> 00:18:15.500
 whatever is true,

00:18:15.640 --> 00:18:16.460
 whatever is honorable,

00:18:16.980 --> 00:18:17.740
 whatever is just,

00:18:17.860 --> 00:18:18.539
 whatever is pure,

00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:19.360
 whatever is lovely,

00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:20.380
 whatever is commendable,

00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:21.140
 if there's anything,

00:18:21.259 --> 00:18:21.580
 excellence,

00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:22.940
 if there's anything worthy of praise,

00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:24.120
 think about these things.

00:18:24.820 --> 00:18:26.519
 Think about these things.

00:18:27.480 --> 00:18:28.440
 And you want to know something else?

00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:30.279
 The command here to think

00:18:30.279 --> 00:18:31.820
 is even more powerful

00:18:31.820 --> 00:18:33.039
 in the original language

00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:34.980
 than it is in the English language

00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:36.120
 because there's different words

00:18:36.120 --> 00:18:37.660
 for think in the original language

00:18:37.660 --> 00:18:38.860
 and the word which is used here

00:18:38.860 --> 00:18:39.519
 for think

00:18:39.519 --> 00:18:42.100
 is specifically thinking about reality.

00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:44.019
 Just to give an example,

00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:45.019
 if you were translating,

00:18:45.100 --> 00:18:46.600
 trying to translate this conversation,

00:18:46.779 --> 00:18:47.740
 this conversation,

00:18:47.920 --> 00:18:48.539
 you had somebody,

00:18:49.140 --> 00:18:51.380
 one of you had to try to explain

00:18:51.380 --> 00:18:53.580
 to a person from New Testament times

00:18:53.580 --> 00:18:54.380
 who happened to be here

00:18:54.380 --> 00:18:55.940
 and maybe one of you

00:18:55.940 --> 00:18:57.039
 is in financial planning.

00:18:57.160 --> 00:18:58.220
 If you know anything about my life,

00:18:58.240 --> 00:18:59.860
 I desperately need financial planning

00:18:59.860 --> 00:19:01.840
 but that's a separate whole other thing.

00:19:03.220 --> 00:19:03.440
 You know,

00:19:03.460 --> 00:19:04.220
 the Lord provides

00:19:04.220 --> 00:19:05.100
 and there you go.

00:19:05.099 --> 00:19:05.919
 So anyway,

00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:08.500
 I'm on the Freedom 75 plan

00:19:08.500 --> 00:19:09.419
 just for the record.

00:19:09.779 --> 00:19:11.279
 So Daniel,

00:19:11.379 --> 00:19:12.319
 if you went into the ministry

00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:12.980
 to become rich,

00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:15.019
 you made a terrible career decision

00:19:15.019 --> 00:19:17.139
 just for the record.

00:19:18.980 --> 00:19:19.379
 Anyway,

00:19:19.500 --> 00:19:20.179
 if somebody said,

00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:20.559
 George,

00:19:20.980 --> 00:19:22.099
 what do you think

00:19:22.099 --> 00:19:23.659
 your net worth is?

00:19:25.159 --> 00:19:26.179
 And I said,

00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:27.139
 okay,

00:19:27.139 --> 00:19:27.639
 what do I think

00:19:27.639 --> 00:19:28.359
 my net worth is?

00:19:28.399 --> 00:19:28.480
 Yeah,

00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:29.319
 I don't want you

00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:29.839
 to sort of guess.

00:19:29.959 --> 00:19:32.319
 What is your next worth?

00:19:32.439 --> 00:19:33.159
 What do you think

00:19:33.159 --> 00:19:33.599
 your net worth?

00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:36.559
 Think about what your net worth is.

00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:37.740
 Calculate it.

00:19:38.099 --> 00:19:39.099
 And the word think

00:19:39.099 --> 00:19:40.079
 and the word calculate

00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:41.179
 in the original language

00:19:41.179 --> 00:19:42.519
 you would use the same word.

00:19:44.379 --> 00:19:45.379
 And so if at the end of it

00:19:45.379 --> 00:19:46.700
 I'd say to the person,

00:19:46.939 --> 00:19:48.519
 I calculated my net worth

00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:49.179
 and it's,

00:19:49.659 --> 00:19:49.879
 you know,

00:19:49.919 --> 00:19:51.079
 five billion dollars.

00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:51.899
 I'm just not lying.

00:19:52.179 --> 00:19:52.339
 You know,

00:19:52.419 --> 00:19:53.279
 it's whatever.

00:19:53.779 --> 00:19:54.980
 That word think,

00:19:55.939 --> 00:19:57.099
 that word calculate

00:19:57.099 --> 00:19:58.500
 is the word that's used here.

00:19:58.579 --> 00:19:59.299
 It's only a word

00:19:59.299 --> 00:20:00.839
 that's used to deal with reality.

00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:02.439
 And that's what

00:20:02.439 --> 00:20:03.299
 the Bible is saying.

00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:05.980
 So this is a very big challenge,

00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:06.379
 you see,

00:20:06.579 --> 00:20:07.480
 because here's what happens

00:20:07.480 --> 00:20:08.059
 in Canadians

00:20:08.059 --> 00:20:09.799
 and part of it's a human problem

00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:11.019
 and part of it

00:20:11.019 --> 00:20:12.159
 is a problem

00:20:12.159 --> 00:20:13.039
 made far worse

00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:13.740
 for Canadians.

00:20:15.679 --> 00:20:17.059
 That both people

00:20:17.059 --> 00:20:18.519
 who think that faith is faith

00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:19.579
 and thinking is thinking,

00:20:19.779 --> 00:20:20.659
 but whether you're all

00:20:20.659 --> 00:20:21.339
 on the faith side

00:20:21.339 --> 00:20:22.299
 or all on the thinking side,

00:20:22.399 --> 00:20:23.500
 everybody agrees with it.

00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:24.559
 How do you know that?

00:20:24.819 --> 00:20:25.519
 Very simple.

00:20:25.959 --> 00:20:26.899
 If Victor,

00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:27.559
 my friend,

00:20:27.679 --> 00:20:28.919
 invites me to a party

00:20:28.919 --> 00:20:30.819
 of some of his lawyers

00:20:30.819 --> 00:20:33.039
 and some other people

00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:34.000
 that are very,

00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:34.339
 you know,

00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:34.819
 important.

00:20:35.500 --> 00:20:36.759
 And during the party,

00:20:36.899 --> 00:20:37.460
 I discovered

00:20:37.460 --> 00:20:38.659
 that one of the people

00:20:38.659 --> 00:20:39.079
 says,

00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:39.819
 you know,

00:20:39.919 --> 00:20:40.759
 we're all having

00:20:40.759 --> 00:20:41.619
 a little glass

00:20:41.619 --> 00:20:43.599
 of a very good wine

00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:44.639
 or something like that.

00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:45.379
 And one of them

00:20:45.379 --> 00:20:46.379
 shares with me

00:20:46.379 --> 00:20:47.419
 how they've really

00:20:47.419 --> 00:20:48.700
 gotten deeply

00:20:48.700 --> 00:20:49.859
 into the truth

00:20:49.859 --> 00:20:51.839
 of Native spirituality.

00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:53.399
 They've been really,

00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:54.339
 they've been studying

00:20:54.339 --> 00:20:54.960
 the writings,

00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:55.919
 they've been reading

00:20:55.919 --> 00:20:57.200
 these creation stories

00:20:57.200 --> 00:20:58.099
 and these other stories

00:20:58.099 --> 00:20:58.839
 and they've really

00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:00.639
 deeply are committed,

00:21:00.740 --> 00:21:01.000
 they just,

00:21:01.079 --> 00:21:01.819
 they're finding it

00:21:01.819 --> 00:21:02.819
 so wonderful.

00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:05.000
 And if I,

00:21:05.259 --> 00:21:05.899
 with a smile

00:21:05.899 --> 00:21:06.779
 and trying to be gentle,

00:21:06.919 --> 00:21:07.159
 say,

00:21:07.699 --> 00:21:08.459
 you can't really

00:21:08.459 --> 00:21:09.079
 believe that.

00:21:10.199 --> 00:21:10.899
 Like how on earth,

00:21:10.899 --> 00:21:11.699
 if I said to them,

00:21:11.879 --> 00:21:12.359
 how on earth

00:21:12.359 --> 00:21:13.199
 could you possibly

00:21:13.199 --> 00:21:14.119
 believe that

00:21:14.119 --> 00:21:15.619
 and believe biology?

00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:17.359
 Like how could you

00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:17.919
 possibly,

00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:19.299
 like you really believe

00:21:19.299 --> 00:21:19.719
 that a,

00:21:19.719 --> 00:21:21.039
 like a bird did this

00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:22.459
 and a turtle did that

00:21:22.459 --> 00:21:23.980
 and a bear did that

00:21:23.980 --> 00:21:24.719
 and all things

00:21:24.719 --> 00:21:25.259
 came into,

00:21:25.459 --> 00:21:26.299
 like you really think

00:21:26.299 --> 00:21:26.480
 that,

00:21:26.539 --> 00:21:27.079
 how could you think

00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:27.599
 that's true?

00:21:27.659 --> 00:21:28.259
 Like you're an educated

00:21:28.259 --> 00:21:28.699
 person.

00:21:29.159 --> 00:21:30.159
 Now here's the thing.

00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:32.759
 Victor and I are the only

00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:33.679
 Christians in the room.

00:21:35.559 --> 00:21:37.039
 There's 15 people

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:37.819
 and they overhear it.

00:21:38.159 --> 00:21:39.000
 The other 13,

00:21:39.119 --> 00:21:40.059
 the other 12 people

00:21:40.059 --> 00:21:43.240
 will be deeply angry

00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:43.799
 at me.

00:21:46.259 --> 00:21:47.079
 They will think

00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:48.799
 I am the rudest jerk

00:21:48.799 --> 00:21:50.000
 in the world.

00:21:50.699 --> 00:21:51.579
 They would say,

00:21:51.799 --> 00:21:53.279
 how dare you challenge

00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:54.179
 this person

00:21:54.179 --> 00:21:56.740
 on the truthfulness

00:21:56.740 --> 00:21:59.000
 of native spirituality.

00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:04.220
 Same thing happens

00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:04.599
 by the way

00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:05.200
 with morality,

00:22:05.380 --> 00:22:05.660
 doesn't it?

00:22:05.660 --> 00:22:05.880
 It's a very,

00:22:05.980 --> 00:22:06.960
 very interesting thing.

00:22:07.819 --> 00:22:08.599
 I really try to find,

00:22:08.660 --> 00:22:09.519
 it's very interesting

00:22:09.519 --> 00:22:10.359
 how many people

00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:11.200
 who on the

00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:12.759
 first of March

00:22:12.759 --> 00:22:14.299
 trumpeted

00:22:14.299 --> 00:22:16.000
 that you do

00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:16.920
 whatever you want

00:22:16.920 --> 00:22:17.839
 and the state

00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:18.420
 can't tell you

00:22:18.420 --> 00:22:19.019
 what to do

00:22:19.019 --> 00:22:20.640
 and by the

00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:22.259
 31st of March

00:22:22.259 --> 00:22:23.099
 were saying

00:22:23.099 --> 00:22:23.460
 that you were

00:22:23.460 --> 00:22:24.539
 a bad and evil person

00:22:24.539 --> 00:22:25.160
 if you didn't wear

00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:25.620
 a mask

00:22:25.619 --> 00:22:26.339
 or you didn't do this

00:22:26.339 --> 00:22:26.939
 or you didn't do that.

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:27.579
 It's very interesting.

00:22:27.659 --> 00:22:28.319
 The same people

00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:28.899
 have gone from

00:22:28.899 --> 00:22:30.139
 being extreme relativists

00:22:30.139 --> 00:22:32.479
 to almost totalitarian

00:22:32.479 --> 00:22:33.379
 in the way they talk.

00:22:33.439 --> 00:22:33.859
 You can see it

00:22:33.859 --> 00:22:34.579
 in columnists

00:22:34.579 --> 00:22:36.399
 and it's a very,

00:22:36.500 --> 00:22:37.479
 very interesting thing.

00:22:37.819 --> 00:22:38.419
 But the fact of the matter

00:22:38.419 --> 00:22:39.099
 is we all know

00:22:39.099 --> 00:22:40.239
 that people basically say

00:22:40.239 --> 00:22:41.259
 well that's just true for you

00:22:41.259 --> 00:22:41.759
 like morality

00:22:41.759 --> 00:22:42.759
 is just right for you

00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:43.239
 and it's not,

00:22:43.879 --> 00:22:45.239
 it can be right for you

00:22:45.239 --> 00:22:45.879
 but not right for you.

00:22:45.919 --> 00:22:46.879
 How dare you say

00:22:46.879 --> 00:22:47.519
 that something's right

00:22:47.519 --> 00:22:47.759
 or wrong

00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:48.479
 for something else?

00:22:48.819 --> 00:22:49.339
 Because you see

00:22:49.339 --> 00:22:50.059
 the fact of the matter

00:22:50.059 --> 00:22:51.719
 is that in Canadian culture

00:22:51.719 --> 00:22:54.000
 we've broken thinking

00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:54.920
 and not thinking

00:22:54.920 --> 00:22:55.579
 into all these

00:22:55.579 --> 00:22:56.400
 different silos

00:22:56.400 --> 00:22:57.220
 and categories.

00:22:58.380 --> 00:22:58.880
 And the problem

00:22:58.880 --> 00:22:59.400
 with the Bible

00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:00.000
 is this.

00:23:01.140 --> 00:23:01.900
 The problem

00:23:01.900 --> 00:23:02.619
 with the Bible

00:23:02.619 --> 00:23:04.680
 isn't that it tells you

00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:05.740
 to stop thinking.

00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:09.799
 Andrew,

00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:10.299
 could you put up

00:23:10.299 --> 00:23:10.920
 a second point?

00:23:14.599 --> 00:23:15.400
 The problem

00:23:15.400 --> 00:23:16.140
 is that the Bible

00:23:16.140 --> 00:23:16.880
 reveals that

00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:17.660
 since your thinking

00:23:17.660 --> 00:23:18.599
 is too narrow,

00:23:19.380 --> 00:23:19.960
 incomplete,

00:23:20.619 --> 00:23:21.440
 short-sighted,

00:23:21.579 --> 00:23:22.319
 and unrealistic,

00:23:22.319 --> 00:23:24.119
 it needs to be

00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:24.539
 redeemed,

00:23:24.679 --> 00:23:25.159
 reformed,

00:23:25.179 --> 00:23:25.579
 and renewed.

00:23:26.500 --> 00:23:27.299
 That's the problem

00:23:27.299 --> 00:23:27.859
 with the Bible.

00:23:28.179 --> 00:23:28.899
 Because the fact

00:23:28.899 --> 00:23:29.159
 of the matter

00:23:29.159 --> 00:23:29.740
 is that

00:23:29.740 --> 00:23:30.779
 from a biblical

00:23:30.779 --> 00:23:31.379
 point of view

00:23:31.379 --> 00:23:32.019
 if somebody said

00:23:32.019 --> 00:23:32.740
 so you're a Christian

00:23:32.740 --> 00:23:33.500
 and I say yes

00:23:33.500 --> 00:23:34.179
 so that you believe

00:23:34.179 --> 00:23:35.419
 in God created all things

00:23:35.419 --> 00:23:36.480
 I would say yes.

00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:38.000
 That's a fair thing.

00:23:38.539 --> 00:23:39.220
 Are you a Christian?

00:23:39.319 --> 00:23:39.460
 Yes.

00:23:39.500 --> 00:23:40.039
 Do you think Jesus

00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:40.740
 rose from the dead?

00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:41.039
 Yes.

00:23:41.099 --> 00:23:41.759
 And if they challenge

00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:42.119
 me on that

00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:42.779
 that's a completely

00:23:42.779 --> 00:23:43.419
 valid thing.

00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:44.139
 In fact the Bible

00:23:44.139 --> 00:23:44.980
 says be prepared

00:23:44.980 --> 00:23:45.740
 to give an account

00:23:45.740 --> 00:23:46.359
 for the reasons

00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:47.059
 that you believe.

00:23:47.460 --> 00:23:48.139
 The fact of the matter

00:23:48.139 --> 00:23:49.460
 is that the four

00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:51.359
 biographies of Jesus

00:23:51.359 --> 00:23:52.519
 which we call Gospels

00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:54.059
 are eyewitness biographies

00:23:54.059 --> 00:23:54.719
 of what Jesus

00:23:54.719 --> 00:23:56.039
 actually did in history.

00:23:56.559 --> 00:23:57.479
 The central claim

00:23:57.479 --> 00:23:58.359
 that goes back

00:23:58.359 --> 00:23:59.099
 to the very first

00:23:59.099 --> 00:24:00.159
 New Testament writers

00:24:00.159 --> 00:24:01.139
 is in fact

00:24:01.139 --> 00:24:02.639
 that on the third

00:24:02.639 --> 00:24:03.759
 that Jesus predicted

00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:05.179
 he would die upon the cross

00:24:05.179 --> 00:24:06.139
 in fulfillment

00:24:06.139 --> 00:24:07.459
 of ancient prophecies

00:24:07.459 --> 00:24:08.419
 that he is the one

00:24:08.419 --> 00:24:10.119
 promised in ancient prophecies

00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:10.959
 that he has arrived

00:24:10.959 --> 00:24:12.119
 that these miracles

00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:13.019
 actually happened

00:24:13.019 --> 00:24:14.240
 that he would die

00:24:14.240 --> 00:24:15.319
 by crucifixion

00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:16.279
 that he did die

00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:17.219
 by crucifixion

00:24:17.219 --> 00:24:18.000
 on the third day

00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:18.859
 the tomb would be empty

00:24:18.859 --> 00:24:19.479
 because he rose

00:24:19.480 --> 00:24:20.019
 from the dead

00:24:20.019 --> 00:24:20.759
 and the heart

00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:21.940
 of the apostolic witness

00:24:21.940 --> 00:24:23.160
 is that on the third day

00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:24.440
 the tomb was empty

00:24:24.440 --> 00:24:25.059
 because Jesus

00:24:25.059 --> 00:24:26.000
 had risen from the dead

00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:26.500
 and appeared

00:24:26.500 --> 00:24:29.099
 to give trustworthy proves

00:24:29.099 --> 00:24:30.779
 to many, many, many

00:24:30.779 --> 00:24:31.920
 eyewitnesses

00:24:31.920 --> 00:24:33.240
 that in fact

00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:34.400
 the Christians

00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.140
 that's the Christian claim.

00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:38.839
 Now we might not be

00:24:38.839 --> 00:24:39.839
 very good at defending it

00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:40.400
 and I'm not saying

00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:41.279
 that every one of you

00:24:41.279 --> 00:24:42.099
 I mean I don't have

00:24:42.099 --> 00:24:43.360
 a master's in apologetics

00:24:43.360 --> 00:24:44.240
 we don't have to have it

00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:45.400
 but the fact of the matter

00:24:45.400 --> 00:24:46.279
 is it's a valid thing

00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:47.059
 to say to a Christian

00:24:47.059 --> 00:24:47.599
 well how can that

00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:48.420
 possibly be true

00:24:48.420 --> 00:24:49.840
 and to try to give an answer

00:24:49.840 --> 00:24:50.820
 and if you can't give an answer

00:24:50.820 --> 00:24:51.680
 you call up Daniel

00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:52.380
 you call up me

00:24:52.380 --> 00:24:53.860
 you call up somebody else

00:24:53.860 --> 00:24:54.640
 and you work it out

00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:55.279
 you read some books

00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:56.740
 and you have a conversation

00:24:56.740 --> 00:24:58.080
 because we believe

00:24:58.080 --> 00:25:01.360
 well here's the beauty

00:25:01.360 --> 00:25:02.580
 of what the Christians believe

00:25:02.580 --> 00:25:03.440
 and just think about

00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:03.840
 for a second

00:25:03.840 --> 00:25:04.920
 how beautiful it is.

00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:07.820
 The Bible isn't saying

00:25:07.820 --> 00:25:08.820
 that you have to listen to opera

00:25:08.820 --> 00:25:10.120
 you have to read Shakespeare

00:25:10.120 --> 00:25:10.840
 it says that

00:25:10.840 --> 00:25:12.160
 whatever you think about

00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:12.800
 think about

00:25:12.800 --> 00:25:14.259
 eight aspects of reality

00:25:14.259 --> 00:25:15.080
 not the way

00:25:15.080 --> 00:25:16.160
 you normally think

00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:17.440
 and think about

00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:18.200
 the eight aspects

00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:18.820
 of reality

00:25:18.820 --> 00:25:19.720
 in the context

00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:21.380
 of God's revealed word

00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:22.340
 you see

00:25:22.340 --> 00:25:23.100
 why is most

00:25:23.100 --> 00:25:23.640
 non

00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:24.779
 why is most secular

00:25:24.779 --> 00:25:26.000
 thinking short-sighted

00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:26.600
 it doesn't think

00:25:26.600 --> 00:25:27.240
 about eternity

00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:28.480
 it doesn't think

00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:29.040
 about the fact

00:25:29.040 --> 00:25:29.540
 that one day

00:25:29.540 --> 00:25:30.200
 they will die

00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:30.840
 and they will appear

00:25:30.840 --> 00:25:31.500
 before God

00:25:31.500 --> 00:25:32.140
 it doesn't think

00:25:32.140 --> 00:25:32.740
 about the fact

00:25:32.740 --> 00:25:33.540
 that death

00:25:33.540 --> 00:25:34.220
 isn't the end

00:25:34.220 --> 00:25:34.820
 but that there will

00:25:34.820 --> 00:25:35.400
 be a judgment

00:25:35.400 --> 00:25:36.720
 so much secular thinking

00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:38.220
 is very very short-sighted

00:25:38.220 --> 00:25:39.840
 and it's very narrow

00:25:39.840 --> 00:25:40.320
 why

00:25:40.320 --> 00:25:40.980
 well because

00:25:40.980 --> 00:25:41.620
 as normal

00:25:41.620 --> 00:25:42.759
 natural human beings

00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:43.360
 we want to be

00:25:43.360 --> 00:25:44.259
 very short-sighted

00:25:44.259 --> 00:25:45.180
 not only about the distance

00:25:45.180 --> 00:25:45.880
 but we want to think

00:25:45.880 --> 00:25:46.400
 mainly about

00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:46.940
 what it affects

00:25:46.940 --> 00:25:47.539
 about ourselves

00:25:47.539 --> 00:25:48.560
 or within our own discipline

00:25:48.560 --> 00:25:50.480
 but if the Bible is true

00:25:50.480 --> 00:25:51.240
 what the Bible here

00:25:51.240 --> 00:25:52.039
 is encouraging you

00:25:52.039 --> 00:25:52.500
 is this

00:25:52.500 --> 00:25:53.799
 if you are a person

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:54.279
 who's working

00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:55.220
 in the civil service

00:25:55.220 --> 00:25:55.820
 and you work

00:25:55.820 --> 00:25:56.640
 in the area

00:25:56.640 --> 00:25:57.660
 of government policy

00:25:57.660 --> 00:25:58.759
 if you are a business

00:25:58.759 --> 00:26:00.180
 working a business

00:26:00.180 --> 00:26:01.640
 and you're running a business

00:26:01.640 --> 00:26:03.080
 if you're a mom

00:26:03.080 --> 00:26:03.740
 or a dad

00:26:03.740 --> 00:26:04.220
 and you're trying

00:26:04.220 --> 00:26:05.100
 to manage your kids

00:26:05.100 --> 00:26:05.980
 if you're retired

00:26:05.980 --> 00:26:06.580
 and you're looking

00:26:06.580 --> 00:26:07.820
 at how to manage your home

00:26:07.820 --> 00:26:08.799
 if you're in

00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:09.480
 whatever it is

00:26:09.480 --> 00:26:10.460
 and you have to come up

00:26:10.460 --> 00:26:11.320
 with a business thing

00:26:11.320 --> 00:26:12.380
 or a policy decision

00:26:12.380 --> 00:26:13.420
 or a financial thing

00:26:13.420 --> 00:26:14.440
 and what the Bible

00:26:14.440 --> 00:26:15.019
 is saying is

00:26:15.019 --> 00:26:16.059
 don't be narrow

00:26:16.059 --> 00:26:17.019
 in your thinking

00:26:17.019 --> 00:26:19.500
 like first of all

00:26:19.500 --> 00:26:20.720
 think about what is true

00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:23.240
 like always try to find out

00:26:23.240 --> 00:26:23.920
 what's true

00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:25.220
 and true here in the Bible

00:26:25.220 --> 00:26:26.019
 this also said

00:26:26.019 --> 00:26:27.379
 true means what's real

00:26:27.379 --> 00:26:29.379
 like when you stop believing it

00:26:29.379 --> 00:26:30.359
 when you stop wanting it

00:26:30.359 --> 00:26:31.460
 what actually is

00:26:31.460 --> 00:26:33.079
 like think about what's true

00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:34.000
 but don't just think about

00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:34.680
 whatever is true

00:26:34.680 --> 00:26:36.059
 think about what's worthy

00:26:36.059 --> 00:26:36.779
 of honor

00:26:36.779 --> 00:26:39.000
 think about those things

00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:39.859
 because there are things

00:26:39.859 --> 00:26:40.319
 in life

00:26:40.319 --> 00:26:41.019
 that are just

00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:42.200
 a gust

00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:43.900
 there's a weightiness

00:26:43.900 --> 00:26:44.440
 to it

00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:45.160
 there's something

00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:45.759
 about it

00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:46.420
 that has

00:26:46.420 --> 00:26:47.680
 a type of

00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:49.620
 sense that if you're not

00:26:49.620 --> 00:26:50.900
 moved by it

00:26:50.900 --> 00:26:52.220
 moved by that act

00:26:52.220 --> 00:26:52.860
 of heroism

00:26:52.860 --> 00:26:54.259
 moved just by the

00:26:54.259 --> 00:26:55.519
 the depth

00:26:55.519 --> 00:26:55.900
 and the

00:26:55.900 --> 00:26:57.180
 it's just honorable

00:26:57.180 --> 00:26:57.799
 think about

00:26:57.799 --> 00:26:58.980
 not just the individual

00:26:58.980 --> 00:27:00.100
 little policy decision

00:27:00.100 --> 00:27:00.740
 about what it is

00:27:00.740 --> 00:27:01.940
 think big

00:27:01.940 --> 00:27:03.019
 think about what's true

00:27:03.019 --> 00:27:04.019
 want to know what's true

00:27:04.019 --> 00:27:05.039
 want to know what's honorable

00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:06.960
 think about what's just

00:27:06.960 --> 00:27:09.460
 like what's actually just

00:27:09.460 --> 00:27:10.799
 is this the just way

00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:11.860
 to make a policy

00:27:11.860 --> 00:27:13.400
 is this just a matter

00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:14.500
 of caving into what

00:27:14.500 --> 00:27:15.400
 the powerful want

00:27:15.400 --> 00:27:16.680
 is this going to be just

00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:17.539
 for the weak

00:27:17.539 --> 00:27:18.400
 that's what you should be

00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:19.019
 doing in policy

00:27:19.019 --> 00:27:19.720
 that's what you should be

00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:20.340
 doing in business

00:27:20.340 --> 00:27:21.120
 and don't only think

00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:22.140
 think about what is morally

00:27:22.140 --> 00:27:22.680
 pure

00:27:22.680 --> 00:27:24.019
 and think about what's

00:27:24.019 --> 00:27:24.500
 lovely

00:27:24.500 --> 00:27:28.519
 like why write something

00:27:28.519 --> 00:27:29.759
 which is a policy thing

00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:32.059
 which is unbelievably boring

00:27:32.059 --> 00:27:34.400
 why can't you make it

00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:35.000
 lovely

00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:37.019
 why can't you make it

00:27:37.019 --> 00:27:37.620
 beautiful

00:27:37.619 --> 00:27:39.379
 don't just think of

00:27:39.379 --> 00:27:40.619
 the most effective way

00:27:40.619 --> 00:27:41.479
 to get a person

00:27:41.479 --> 00:27:42.199
 into your shop

00:27:42.199 --> 00:27:42.979
 to buy the coffee

00:27:42.979 --> 00:27:43.599
 to get them out

00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:45.879
 make the whole experience

00:27:45.879 --> 00:27:46.339
 lovely

00:27:46.339 --> 00:27:47.699
 make it winsome

00:27:47.699 --> 00:27:49.919
 make it just

00:27:49.919 --> 00:27:53.919
 think about

00:27:53.919 --> 00:27:56.199
 how to bring in

00:27:56.199 --> 00:27:57.079
 that which is worthy

00:27:57.079 --> 00:27:57.500
 of praise

00:27:57.500 --> 00:27:58.399
 why would you do

00:27:58.399 --> 00:27:59.339
 something shoddy

00:27:59.339 --> 00:27:59.839
 when you could

00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:00.879
 seek excellence

00:28:00.879 --> 00:28:03.799
 and why would you

00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:04.599
 want to do something

00:28:04.599 --> 00:28:05.659
 like why don't you

00:28:05.659 --> 00:28:06.679
 want to take into account

00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:07.340
 those things

00:28:07.340 --> 00:28:08.440
 which really truly

00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:09.340
 are worthy

00:28:09.340 --> 00:28:10.380
 of praise

00:28:10.380 --> 00:28:12.980
 and all of our

00:28:12.980 --> 00:28:13.799
 secular friends

00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:15.519
 we're all

00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:17.100
 there's an inconsistency

00:28:17.100 --> 00:28:17.600
 we all know

00:28:17.600 --> 00:28:18.100
 that nobody

00:28:18.100 --> 00:28:20.000
 consistently says

00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:21.039
 that all morals

00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:21.600
 and all things

00:28:21.600 --> 00:28:22.120
 right and wrong

00:28:22.120 --> 00:28:22.940
 are completely relative

00:28:22.940 --> 00:28:24.200
 nobody lives up to that

00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:24.820
 the second you

00:28:24.820 --> 00:28:25.700
 the second

00:28:25.700 --> 00:28:26.620
 you just put them

00:28:26.620 --> 00:28:27.240
 in a line up

00:28:27.240 --> 00:28:28.140
 and make them

00:28:28.140 --> 00:28:28.880
 the first person

00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:29.360
 in the line

00:28:29.360 --> 00:28:30.420
 and then serve

00:28:30.420 --> 00:28:30.900
 the second

00:28:30.900 --> 00:28:31.560
 third and fourth

00:28:31.560 --> 00:28:32.320
 person ahead of them

00:28:32.320 --> 00:28:32.779
 and they'll say

00:28:32.779 --> 00:28:33.620
 it's not fair

00:28:33.619 --> 00:28:34.459
 like they

00:28:34.459 --> 00:28:34.959
 it's just

00:28:34.959 --> 00:28:36.039
 I mean it's not

00:28:36.039 --> 00:28:37.000
 serious thinking

00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:37.699
 when people say

00:28:37.699 --> 00:28:38.339
 it's not relative

00:28:38.339 --> 00:28:39.339
 and there's the same

00:28:39.339 --> 00:28:39.979
 thing about things

00:28:39.979 --> 00:28:40.819
 which are beautiful

00:28:40.819 --> 00:28:42.000
 and worthy of praise

00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:43.219
 like we all have

00:28:43.219 --> 00:28:44.239
 this basic sense

00:28:44.239 --> 00:28:44.899
 and understanding

00:28:44.899 --> 00:28:45.579
 if you hear of

00:28:45.579 --> 00:28:46.619
 an act of

00:28:46.619 --> 00:28:48.239
 tremendous heroism

00:28:48.239 --> 00:28:49.099
 there's this

00:28:49.099 --> 00:28:50.099
 wonderful story

00:28:50.099 --> 00:28:51.079
 of the fellow

00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:51.639
 in England

00:28:51.639 --> 00:28:52.299
 I can't remember

00:28:52.299 --> 00:28:52.799
 his name

00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:53.179
 that there was

00:28:53.179 --> 00:28:53.879
 an alt-right

00:28:53.879 --> 00:28:55.039
 demonstrator

00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:56.359
 and the African

00:28:56.359 --> 00:28:57.879
 the British African

00:28:57.879 --> 00:28:58.759
 the black fellow

00:28:58.759 --> 00:28:59.719
 he picks up the guy

00:28:59.719 --> 00:29:00.159
 who's hurt

00:29:00.159 --> 00:29:00.959
 and rescues him

00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:02.779
 in the face

00:29:02.779 --> 00:29:04.000
 that's just so

00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:04.819
 worthy of praise

00:29:04.819 --> 00:29:05.360
 isn't it

00:29:05.360 --> 00:29:07.059
 that's just

00:29:07.059 --> 00:29:08.160
 worthy of praise

00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:09.279
 we see an absolutely

00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:10.160
 beautiful sunset

00:29:10.160 --> 00:29:10.880
 and somebody says

00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:11.720
 yeah it's just

00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:12.460
 atmosphere

00:29:12.460 --> 00:29:13.180
 we think there's

00:29:13.180 --> 00:29:13.500
 something

00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:15.180
 think big

00:29:15.180 --> 00:29:16.779
 think of all

00:29:16.779 --> 00:29:17.480
 eight aspects

00:29:17.480 --> 00:29:18.299
 of reality

00:29:18.299 --> 00:29:20.180
 listen folks

00:29:20.180 --> 00:29:21.100
 you believe in

00:29:21.100 --> 00:29:21.759
 Christianity

00:29:21.759 --> 00:29:22.860
 because not only

00:29:22.860 --> 00:29:23.940
 the sun has risen

00:29:23.940 --> 00:29:24.920
 but because the sun

00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:25.299
 has risen

00:29:25.299 --> 00:29:25.940
 you can see

00:29:25.940 --> 00:29:26.380
 everything

00:29:26.380 --> 00:29:27.259
 look at the world

00:29:27.259 --> 00:29:28.400
 not just religious

00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:28.740
 things

00:29:28.740 --> 00:29:29.519
 look at business

00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:30.240
 look at law

00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:31.059
 look at politics

00:29:31.059 --> 00:29:31.640
 look at your

00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:32.059
 neighborhood

00:29:32.059 --> 00:29:33.120
 look at your

00:29:33.120 --> 00:29:33.720
 lawn

00:29:33.720 --> 00:29:34.680
 look at your

00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:35.079
 garden

00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:35.559
 look at your

00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:35.900
 kids

00:29:35.900 --> 00:29:36.339
 look at your

00:29:36.339 --> 00:29:36.680
 clothes

00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:37.039
 the whole

00:29:37.039 --> 00:29:38.220
 world is yours

00:29:38.220 --> 00:29:42.740
 Andrew if you

00:29:42.740 --> 00:29:43.140
 could put up

00:29:43.140 --> 00:29:44.099
 the third point

00:29:44.099 --> 00:29:45.960
 in the real world

00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:46.740
 where the triune

00:29:46.740 --> 00:29:47.559
 God claims

00:29:47.559 --> 00:29:48.920
 every square inch

00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:50.440
 and every split

00:29:50.440 --> 00:29:51.420
 second in the

00:29:51.420 --> 00:29:51.940
 universe

00:29:51.940 --> 00:29:53.660
 only the cross

00:29:53.660 --> 00:29:54.240
 of Christ

00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:55.160
 can redeem

00:29:55.160 --> 00:29:56.180
 comfort

00:29:56.180 --> 00:29:57.440
 and propel

00:29:57.440 --> 00:29:57.779
 you

00:29:57.779 --> 00:29:59.120
 to live free

00:29:59.120 --> 00:30:00.120
 in his creation

00:30:00.119 --> 00:30:01.399
 in the real

00:30:01.399 --> 00:30:01.879
 world

00:30:01.879 --> 00:30:02.679
 where the triune

00:30:02.679 --> 00:30:03.359
 God is

00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:04.619
 where the triune

00:30:04.619 --> 00:30:05.259
 God claims

00:30:05.259 --> 00:30:06.119
 every square

00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:06.439
 inch

00:30:06.439 --> 00:30:06.979
 and every

00:30:06.979 --> 00:30:07.859
 split second

00:30:07.859 --> 00:30:10.239
 in the universe

00:30:10.239 --> 00:30:11.219
 only the cross

00:30:11.219 --> 00:30:11.719
 of Christ

00:30:11.719 --> 00:30:12.359
 can redeem

00:30:12.359 --> 00:30:12.899
 comfort

00:30:12.899 --> 00:30:13.699
 and propel

00:30:13.699 --> 00:30:14.439
 you to live

00:30:14.439 --> 00:30:14.719
 free

00:30:14.719 --> 00:30:15.419
 in his creation

00:30:15.419 --> 00:30:16.199
 what I mean

00:30:16.199 --> 00:30:16.559
 is this

00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:17.500
 it's a frightening

00:30:17.500 --> 00:30:18.000
 thing

00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:18.619
 as it starts

00:30:18.619 --> 00:30:19.239
 to grasp you

00:30:19.239 --> 00:30:20.039
 that every square

00:30:20.039 --> 00:30:20.619
 inch of who I

00:30:20.619 --> 00:30:21.239
 am is claimed

00:30:21.239 --> 00:30:21.699
 and redeemed

00:30:21.699 --> 00:30:22.359
 by Jesus

00:30:22.359 --> 00:30:25.539
 it can be

00:30:25.539 --> 00:30:26.379
 very scary

00:30:26.379 --> 00:30:28.299
 when you're

00:30:28.299 --> 00:30:28.719
 thinking about

00:30:28.719 --> 00:30:29.379
 your autonomy

00:30:29.379 --> 00:30:30.299
 and your will

00:30:30.299 --> 00:30:32.379
 and like

00:30:32.379 --> 00:30:33.399
 really my money

00:30:33.399 --> 00:30:34.839
 you know like

00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:35.399
 the old Christian

00:30:35.399 --> 00:30:36.139
 thing is if you

00:30:36.139 --> 00:30:36.679
 give ten

00:30:36.679 --> 00:30:37.439
 do you know

00:30:37.439 --> 00:30:38.159
 how much of

00:30:38.159 --> 00:30:38.740
 your money is

00:30:38.740 --> 00:30:39.240
 God's

00:30:39.240 --> 00:30:39.619
 well you know

00:30:39.619 --> 00:30:40.139
 I've learned

00:30:40.139 --> 00:30:40.859
 tithing so ten

00:30:40.859 --> 00:30:41.779
 percent is God's

00:30:41.779 --> 00:30:42.579
 and no no no

00:30:42.579 --> 00:30:43.219
 a hundred percent

00:30:43.219 --> 00:30:44.019
 is God's

00:30:44.019 --> 00:30:45.439
 he asked for ten

00:30:45.439 --> 00:30:46.359
 percent but a hundred

00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:47.079
 percent is his

00:30:47.079 --> 00:30:50.139
 how much of

00:30:50.139 --> 00:30:50.699
 your mind is

00:30:50.699 --> 00:30:51.379
 God's

00:30:51.379 --> 00:30:52.099
 just the Christian

00:30:52.099 --> 00:30:52.399
 no no

00:30:52.399 --> 00:30:52.720
 all of

00:30:52.720 --> 00:30:53.220
 all of your

00:30:53.220 --> 00:30:53.639
 mind has to

00:30:53.639 --> 00:30:54.119
 belong to God

00:30:54.119 --> 00:30:54.559
 all of it

00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:55.039
 all of it

00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:56.059
 and that can

00:30:56.059 --> 00:30:56.699
 be very frightening

00:30:56.699 --> 00:30:57.199
 you know the only

00:30:57.199 --> 00:30:57.679
 thing that can

00:30:57.679 --> 00:30:58.480
 possibly comfort

00:30:58.480 --> 00:30:59.000
 you is just

00:30:59.000 --> 00:30:59.500
 to remember

00:30:59.500 --> 00:31:00.359
 what most

00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:01.379
 perfectly reveals

00:31:01.379 --> 00:31:01.919
 the existence

00:31:01.919 --> 00:31:02.579
 of the triune

00:31:02.579 --> 00:31:02.839
 God

00:31:02.839 --> 00:31:03.339
 read John

00:31:03.339 --> 00:31:04.079
 118 later

00:31:04.079 --> 00:31:04.720
 on especially

00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:05.119
 if you know

00:31:05.119 --> 00:31:05.579
 anything about

00:31:05.579 --> 00:31:05.960
 the original

00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:06.399
 language

00:31:06.399 --> 00:31:07.099
 in John

00:31:07.099 --> 00:31:07.699
 118 the

00:31:07.699 --> 00:31:08.059
 beginning of

00:31:08.059 --> 00:31:08.679
 John's gospel

00:31:08.679 --> 00:31:09.259
 says it's

00:31:09.259 --> 00:31:09.659
 Jesus

00:31:09.659 --> 00:31:10.899
 his life and

00:31:10.899 --> 00:31:11.240
 death and

00:31:11.240 --> 00:31:11.599
 resurrection

00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:12.799
 which perfectly

00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:13.960
 interprets God

00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:14.399
 to human

00:31:14.399 --> 00:31:14.919
 beings and

00:31:14.919 --> 00:31:15.379
 helps us to

00:31:15.379 --> 00:31:16.679
 understand him

00:31:16.680 --> 00:31:17.500
 the father

00:31:17.500 --> 00:31:17.840
 the son

00:31:17.840 --> 00:31:18.019
 and the

00:31:18.019 --> 00:31:18.460
 holy spirit

00:31:18.460 --> 00:31:19.060
 and God

00:31:19.060 --> 00:31:19.960
 reveals himself

00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:20.980
 most perfectly

00:31:20.980 --> 00:31:22.799
 by showing

00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:23.620
 that he loves

00:31:23.620 --> 00:31:24.279
 you to the

00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:25.019
 uttermost

00:31:25.019 --> 00:31:25.960
 even to the

00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:26.440
 point of

00:31:26.440 --> 00:31:27.200
 emptying himself

00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:27.900
 of his glory

00:31:27.900 --> 00:31:28.880
 and taking

00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:30.279
 upon himself

00:31:30.279 --> 00:31:31.360
 your sin

00:31:31.360 --> 00:31:31.799
 and mine

00:31:31.799 --> 00:31:32.200
 and your

00:31:32.200 --> 00:31:32.660
 shame

00:31:32.660 --> 00:31:33.259
 and mine

00:31:33.259 --> 00:31:33.640
 and your

00:31:33.640 --> 00:31:34.340
 dishonor

00:31:34.340 --> 00:31:34.860
 and mine

00:31:34.860 --> 00:31:35.259
 and your

00:31:35.259 --> 00:31:36.019
 uncleanness

00:31:36.019 --> 00:31:36.660
 and mine

00:31:36.660 --> 00:31:38.920
 and the

00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:39.480
 accusations

00:31:39.480 --> 00:31:40.160
 against you

00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:40.360
 and the

00:31:40.360 --> 00:31:40.820
 accusations

00:31:40.820 --> 00:31:41.560
 against me

00:31:41.560 --> 00:31:42.840
 he reveals

00:31:42.840 --> 00:31:43.580
 his total

00:31:43.580 --> 00:31:44.019
 claim

00:31:44.019 --> 00:31:44.500
 and total

00:31:44.500 --> 00:31:44.960
 redemption

00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:45.720
 by taking

00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:46.519
 upon himself

00:31:46.519 --> 00:31:47.700
 every

00:31:47.700 --> 00:31:48.920
 bit

00:31:48.920 --> 00:31:50.000
 of shame

00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:51.019
 and sin

00:31:51.019 --> 00:31:52.359
 and uncleanness

00:31:52.359 --> 00:31:53.019
 from the

00:31:53.019 --> 00:31:53.500
 moment of

00:31:53.500 --> 00:31:54.160
 your conception

00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:54.480
 to the

00:31:54.480 --> 00:31:54.879
 moment of

00:31:54.879 --> 00:31:55.019
 your

00:31:55.019 --> 00:31:56.379
 death

00:31:56.379 --> 00:31:57.879
 all on

00:31:57.879 --> 00:31:58.259
 him

00:31:58.259 --> 00:32:00.400
 and so

00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:01.079
 those times

00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:01.579
 by which

00:32:01.579 --> 00:32:02.180
 your conscience

00:32:02.180 --> 00:32:02.799
 is afraid

 your mind

00:32:40.119 --> 00:32:40.619

00:32:44.180 --> 00:32:45.200
 he wants

00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:45.680
 it to be

00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:46.539
 uncluttered

00:32:46.539 --> 00:32:47.220
 he wants

00:32:47.220 --> 00:32:47.619
 it to be

00:32:47.619 --> 00:32:48.440
 long-sighted

00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:48.879
 he wants

00:32:48.879 --> 00:32:49.319
 it to be

00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:49.779
 broad

00:32:49.779 --> 00:32:50.379
 he wants

00:32:50.379 --> 00:32:50.759
 it to be

00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:51.259
 generous

00:32:51.259 --> 00:32:52.039
 he wants

 it to be

00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:52.879
 rooted in

00:32:52.879 --> 00:32:53.359
 the gospel

00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:53.700
 and rooted

00:32:53.700 --> 00:32:54.200

00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:54.619
 he wants

00:32:54.619 --> 00:32:55.139

00:32:55.139 --> 00:32:55.379

00:32:58.079 --> 00:32:58.480
 we pray

00:32:58.480 --> 00:32:58.819
 Lord

00:33:28.919 --> 00:33:31.419
 and

00:33:31.419 --> 00:33:32.059
 so

00:33:32.059 --> 00:33:32.219
 the

00:33:32.219 --> 00:33:32.539
 gospel

00:33:32.539 --> 00:33:32.899
 has to

00:33:32.899 --> 00:33:33.139
 always

00:33:33.139 --> 00:33:33.299
 be

 but

00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:34.359
 you

00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:34.619
 have to

00:33:36.339 --> 00:33:36.779
 over the

 course of

00:33:37.180 --> 00:33:37.559
 your life

00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:38.139
 if the

00:33:38.139 --> 00:33:38.559
 Lord lets

00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:38.859
 you live

00:33:38.859 --> 00:33:39.379
 long enough

00:33:39.379 --> 00:33:40.639
 and meditate

00:33:40.639 --> 00:33:41.519
 upon what God

00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:42.299
 is saying in all

00:33:42.299 --> 00:33:42.879
 of his word

00:33:42.879 --> 00:33:43.379
 in light of the

00:33:43.379 --> 00:33:44.200
 gospel and what the

00:33:44.200 --> 00:33:44.940
 gospel means in

00:33:44.940 --> 00:33:45.559
 light of all of his

00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:46.639
 word and meditate

00:33:46.639 --> 00:33:47.440
 upon it deeply

00:33:47.440 --> 00:33:50.200
 and finally

00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:50.220
 and finally

00:33:50.220 --> 00:33:52.000
 last point

00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:52.640
 Lord when I am

00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:53.240
 afraid of your

00:33:54.840 --> 00:33:56.620
 please grip

00:33:56.620 --> 00:33:57.240
 me deeply

00:33:57.240 --> 00:33:57.740
 with the

00:33:57.740 --> 00:33:58.140

00:33:58.140 --> 00:33:58.940
 and beauty

00:33:58.940 --> 00:33:59.460
 of the

00:33:59.460 --> 00:33:59.940
 gospel

00:33:59.940 --> 00:34:02.759
 because there

00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:03.059
 will always

00:34:03.059 --> 00:34:03.460
 be a time

00:34:03.460 --> 00:34:03.759
 Lord

00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:04.559
 you want

00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:04.759
 me to

00:34:04.759 --> 00:34:04.900
 do

00:34:04.900 --> 00:34:05.440
 this

 Lord

00:34:07.140 --> 00:34:07.400
 you want

 you want

00:34:09.500 --> 00:34:09.720
 me to

00:34:09.720 --> 00:34:09.940
 learn

00:34:09.940 --> 00:34:10.559
 this

00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:13.300
 and you

00:34:13.300 --> 00:34:13.599
 don't want

00:34:13.599 --> 00:34:13.880
 to do

00:34:13.880 --> 00:34:14.119
 it

00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:14.799
 and so

00:34:14.799 --> 00:34:15.119
 Lord

00:34:15.119 --> 00:34:15.579
 when I am

 your

 total

00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:16.839
 claim

00:34:16.839 --> 00:34:17.359
 upon my

00:34:17.359 --> 00:34:17.759
 life

00:34:17.759 --> 00:34:18.759
 please

00:34:18.759 --> 00:34:19.359
 grip

00:34:19.359 --> 00:34:19.599

00:34:20.099 --> 00:34:20.440
 with

00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:20.639
 the
