WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.820
 Father, we confess before you that we often deceive ourselves.

00:00:07.160 --> 00:00:13.740
 We confess before you that we can deceive ourselves so often

00:00:13.740 --> 00:00:18.500
 it can become such a habit that we no longer are aware of our self-deception.

00:00:19.379 --> 00:00:24.300
 We confess before you that often we have many motives,

00:00:24.620 --> 00:00:28.160
 even for a single action, that we're blind to

00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:30.160
 and that some of those motives aren't very good.

00:00:31.399 --> 00:00:36.039
 And Father, we confess before you that given how we are inside,

00:00:36.259 --> 00:00:39.240
 that sometimes we think you're like this,

00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:43.899
 that we sort of make you in our own image.

00:00:44.539 --> 00:00:45.939
 Father, we need your help.

00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:51.260
 We need you to speak into the center of who we are, speak to our heart.

00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:56.019
 We need, Father, your Holy Spirit to open the eyes of our heart,

00:00:56.020 --> 00:01:00.359
 open the eyes of our heart to who we are in light of your word,

00:01:00.740 --> 00:01:02.560
 in light of your love and grace and mercy.

00:01:03.220 --> 00:01:06.680
 So, Father, we ask that you would do this wonderful work of your Holy Spirit

00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:10.760
 and your word in our lives this morning and for the rest of our lives.

00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:14.260
 And we ask this in the name of Jesus, your Son and our Savior.

00:01:14.780 --> 00:01:15.120
 Amen.

00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:16.439
 Please be seated.

00:01:16.439 --> 00:01:16.519
 Amen.

00:01:19.039 --> 00:01:20.439
 So, for...

00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:25.640
 I do other things outside of what I do on Sunday morning.

00:01:25.759 --> 00:01:27.379
 I don't just sort of work Sunday morning.

00:01:27.739 --> 00:01:30.859
 And sometimes I've been involved in different leadership teams

00:01:30.859 --> 00:01:31.959
 and organizing events.

00:01:32.659 --> 00:01:35.719
 And for quite a few years, I was part of this team,

00:01:36.039 --> 00:01:40.379
 leadership team that was doing a wide range of events all across the country.

00:01:40.859 --> 00:01:44.519
 And one of the problems I had with being on that leadership team

00:01:44.519 --> 00:01:46.319
 was a particular group of people.

00:01:46.500 --> 00:01:48.840
 I mean, you know, I think it was Bill Hybels who said

00:01:48.840 --> 00:01:51.920
 that whenever two or more people are together, there is friction.

00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:54.579
 And that's always true.

00:01:54.979 --> 00:01:57.640
 When there are two more together, there is friction.

00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:02.819
 But in this particular case, there was a group of people on the leadership team

00:02:02.819 --> 00:02:07.659
 that had several agendas,

00:02:08.139 --> 00:02:10.599
 other than just really trying to do a good job,

00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:14.439
 to work together to produce really effective events

00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:16.120
 that would further the kingdom,

00:02:16.259 --> 00:02:17.259
 that would bless people,

00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:18.500
 that would bring God glory.

00:02:18.979 --> 00:02:20.199
 They had a whole pile,

00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.620
 or at least several other very powerful agendas.

00:02:23.879 --> 00:02:25.019
 And most of the agendas

00:02:25.019 --> 00:02:29.060
 were all around themselves looking good

00:02:29.060 --> 00:02:31.259
 and themselves getting more and more power.

00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:33.299
 And one of the hard parts,

00:02:33.419 --> 00:02:35.120
 it's not only hard to deal with people

00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:36.519
 who have that as their motive,

00:02:37.340 --> 00:02:39.219
 especially when they won't acknowledge it,

00:02:39.219 --> 00:02:42.919
 but the other thing which was really hard

00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:47.360
 is that it was such a deep part of who they were

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.439
 that they had these motives of,

00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:51.879
 you know, we're going to be on top,

00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:54.520
 we're going to be the ones who are most important,

00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:55.919
 we're going to be the ones who look good.

00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.539
 It was so deeply ingrained in them, those motives,

00:02:59.780 --> 00:03:01.500
 that they had a hard time believing

00:03:01.500 --> 00:03:04.500
 that everybody else on the team didn't have the same motives.

00:03:04.500 --> 00:03:07.740
 So they were always quite combative

00:03:07.740 --> 00:03:10.060
 because it just never,

00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:13.780
 it was, those motives of seeking power

00:03:13.780 --> 00:03:15.300
 were so powerful in them,

00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:18.120
 they just couldn't imagine that some other people,

00:03:18.219 --> 00:03:19.120
 they didn't have that motive.

00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:21.080
 That, no, actually, I don't care,

00:03:21.139 --> 00:03:22.199
 I don't have to be up on front.

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.280
 No, I don't care, my logo doesn't have to be on that.

00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:25.400
 Like, I just want to have something.

00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.599
 It was really hard for them to understand that.

00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:30.479
 A few, quite a few years ago now,

00:03:30.479 --> 00:03:33.199
 I had a person who I thought was a friend,

00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.119
 I thought was like a person

00:03:35.119 --> 00:03:38.340
 who had the same type of desires as I did

00:03:38.340 --> 00:03:40.339
 to be able to preach and understand the Bible

00:03:40.339 --> 00:03:42.579
 and they offered to come alongside me

00:03:42.579 --> 00:03:43.979
 to give me some advice

00:03:43.979 --> 00:03:46.039
 so that I could preach better.

00:03:46.939 --> 00:03:48.620
 And every time I met with them,

00:03:48.659 --> 00:03:50.060
 I was depressed afterwards.

00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:52.579
 I was really depressed.

00:03:53.679 --> 00:03:55.439
 And then after I had been doing this

00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:56.859
 for four or five or six weeks

00:03:56.859 --> 00:03:58.099
 because I'm a slow learner,

00:03:58.099 --> 00:04:00.500
 it started to dawn on me

00:04:00.500 --> 00:04:03.840
 that they actually were trying to hurt me.

00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:05.939
 Like, it wasn't just that

00:04:05.939 --> 00:04:07.900
 they were speaking truth into my life

00:04:07.900 --> 00:04:10.439
 and I was having a hard time facing the truth.

00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:12.439
 They were actually trying to hurt me

00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:14.719
 and they were actually trying

00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.040
 to undermine my confidence in the Bible

00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:19.219
 and they were actually trying to turn me

00:04:19.219 --> 00:04:21.180
 in a very, very, very different direction.

00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:24.759
 They had a motive in terms of their action

00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:27.759
 which was in fact very hurtful to me

00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:28.939
 and I ended up having to have

00:04:28.939 --> 00:04:30.459
 a bit of a confrontation with them.

00:04:30.980 --> 00:04:32.879
 I mean, we could multiply these examples.

00:04:33.060 --> 00:04:34.939
 Many of you probably at school or at work.

00:04:35.019 --> 00:04:37.500
 How many of you, if you're at school or university

00:04:37.500 --> 00:04:39.620
 and you're doing a group project

00:04:39.620 --> 00:04:41.500
 and how many of you have had to deal

00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:43.339
 with a person doing a group project

00:04:43.339 --> 00:04:45.599
 where they basically have two motives

00:04:45.599 --> 00:04:47.139
 or three motives?

00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:48.240
 One, do no work.

00:04:48.980 --> 00:04:51.139
 Two, take all the credit for the work.

00:04:51.579 --> 00:04:53.439
 Three, get a good mark from your work.

00:04:53.439 --> 00:04:57.579
 And it's really hard to deal with somebody like that, right?

00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.000
 Many of us have been in workplace situations

00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:04.019
 where you can tell that the person involved

00:05:04.019 --> 00:05:05.100
 that you have to work with,

00:05:05.199 --> 00:05:07.339
 all they want is to take credit

00:05:07.339 --> 00:05:08.980
 and all they want is promotion.

00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:10.600
 That's all they want.

00:05:11.139 --> 00:05:12.600
 And they'll do whatever they have to

00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:13.579
 to get that promotion,

00:05:13.740 --> 00:05:14.920
 to get credit for good work

00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:16.659
 and to make sure that the bad work falls

00:05:16.659 --> 00:05:18.060
 and is seen somewhere else.

00:05:18.060 --> 00:05:20.680
 We're always having to deal with people

00:05:20.680 --> 00:05:23.339
 who have, in many cases, bad motives

00:05:23.339 --> 00:05:26.079
 and often unconscious motives.

00:05:27.019 --> 00:05:28.079
 There's many of us,

00:05:28.139 --> 00:05:29.980
 one of the things that happens as you grow older,

00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:33.740
 if God is kind to you and you have some growth,

00:05:34.420 --> 00:05:36.699
 is you realize maybe how there's things,

00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:37.779
 maybe from your past,

00:05:37.860 --> 00:05:39.160
 how you're raised as a child

00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:40.180
 or something that happened

00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:41.560
 in the early days of your marriage

00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.459
 that affect all of your motives

00:05:44.459 --> 00:05:45.519
 and everything that you do

00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.439
 and you've been blind and unconscious to it.

00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:50.379
 So does the Bible have anything to say about this?

00:05:51.259 --> 00:05:53.000
 Does the Bible have anything to say

00:05:53.000 --> 00:05:55.860
 that's helpful and insightful

00:05:55.860 --> 00:05:59.139
 about the role of motives in our lives?

00:06:00.019 --> 00:06:02.579
 Well, we're going to look at a passage in the Bible

00:06:02.579 --> 00:06:05.100
 that actually has an awful lot to say about motives.

00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.540
 In fact, very, very important and wise things.

00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:09.259
 So it would be a great help to me

00:06:09.259 --> 00:06:10.600
 if you would turn in your Bibles

00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.620
 to 2 Corinthians chapter 1.

00:06:13.180 --> 00:06:15.240
 2 Corinthians chapter 1.

00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:16.879
 And I know it sounded,

00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:18.779
 when Amanda was reading the text,

00:06:18.860 --> 00:06:19.719
 you were probably thinking,

00:06:19.860 --> 00:06:20.620
 good grief, you know,

00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:21.899
 he went there, didn't go here.

00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:23.579
 What does this have to do with my life?

00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:24.740
 But, you know,

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:26.379
 it's like a lot of things in the Bible

00:06:26.379 --> 00:06:27.779
 that maybe at first glance

00:06:27.779 --> 00:06:28.959
 it doesn't jump out at us,

00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:31.379
 but as you look at it more closely,

00:06:31.519 --> 00:06:32.399
 you'll see that, in fact,

00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:33.980
 the Bible has very profound

00:06:33.980 --> 00:06:35.199
 and powerful things

00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:36.879
 to say about motives.

00:06:37.399 --> 00:06:38.600
 What motives should be

00:06:38.600 --> 00:06:39.980
 and how they should be grounded.

00:06:40.199 --> 00:06:41.740
 What are the right type of motives

00:06:41.740 --> 00:06:42.519
 that we should have?

00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:43.639
 So we're going to look at that.

00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:44.500
 We're going to begin

00:06:44.500 --> 00:06:45.879
 three verses before

00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:46.779
 where Amanda read.

00:06:46.879 --> 00:06:47.399
 We're going to begin

00:06:47.399 --> 00:06:49.979
 at 2 Corinthians chapter 1, verse 12.

00:06:51.019 --> 00:06:51.979
 And, you know,

00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:52.899
 one of the things to remember

00:06:52.899 --> 00:06:53.919
 when you're looking at this,

00:06:54.139 --> 00:06:55.479
 you know, the text,

00:06:55.579 --> 00:06:56.439
 is that it's a letter.

00:06:56.620 --> 00:06:57.839
 Paul began at verse 1.

00:06:57.899 --> 00:06:58.699
 He ended at whatever

00:06:58.699 --> 00:07:00.719
 the last verse is in chapter 13.

00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.099
 And when scholars study this,

00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.319
 they say that verse 12,

00:07:07.060 --> 00:07:07.639
 in particular,

00:07:08.500 --> 00:07:10.339
 is sort of a bit of an introduction

00:07:10.339 --> 00:07:12.279
 to what he's going to be talking about

00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:13.199
 right through till the end

00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:14.099
 of chapter 7.

00:07:14.919 --> 00:07:16.159
 Sort of gives you a bit

00:07:16.159 --> 00:07:17.599
 of a big picture overview

00:07:17.599 --> 00:07:19.679
 of some of the themes

00:07:19.679 --> 00:07:20.939
 that he's going to be talking about.

00:07:21.579 --> 00:07:22.979
 And so listen to verse 12.

00:07:24.099 --> 00:07:25.719
 For our boast is this,

00:07:26.500 --> 00:07:28.679
 the testimony of our conscience

00:07:28.679 --> 00:07:30.939
 that we behaved in the world

00:07:30.939 --> 00:07:32.059
 with simplicity.

00:07:32.500 --> 00:07:34.279
 And some of your versions of the Bible

00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:35.579
 have a different word there.

00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:37.399
 We'll talk about that in a moment.

00:07:38.159 --> 00:07:38.779
 I'll say it again.

00:07:38.779 --> 00:07:39.859
 For our boast is this,

00:07:39.939 --> 00:07:41.459
 the testimony of our conscience

00:07:41.459 --> 00:07:43.699
 that we behaved in the world

00:07:43.699 --> 00:07:44.619
 with simplicity

00:07:44.619 --> 00:07:46.659
 and godly sincerity,

00:07:47.459 --> 00:07:49.079
 not by earthly wisdom

00:07:49.079 --> 00:07:50.459
 or fleshly wisdom,

00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:52.479
 but by the grace of God

00:07:52.479 --> 00:07:54.879
 and supremely so toward you.

00:07:55.359 --> 00:07:58.259
 Very short, powerful, packed verse.

00:07:59.219 --> 00:08:01.500
 And Paul is going to be unfolding this,

00:08:01.719 --> 00:08:03.279
 especially in the next few verses

00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:04.059
 that come after.

00:08:04.119 --> 00:08:05.399
 Some of that part that Amanda read

00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:06.319
 that we found confusing.

00:08:06.479 --> 00:08:06.919
 But in fact,

00:08:07.379 --> 00:08:08.259
 all the way through,

00:08:08.259 --> 00:08:10.339
 it's going to be a continuing theme

00:08:10.339 --> 00:08:11.639
 that he's going to keep trying

00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:12.920
 to explain and unpack.

00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:13.740
 And so obviously,

00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:14.399
 I can only give you

00:08:14.399 --> 00:08:15.159
 a bit of an introduction.

00:08:15.699 --> 00:08:16.500
 But the first thing is,

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:17.860
 if you could put up the first point,

00:08:17.939 --> 00:08:18.639
 that would be great.

00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:20.800
 In Jesus,

00:08:21.459 --> 00:08:23.139
 God's grace will lead me

00:08:23.139 --> 00:08:24.039
 towards good,

00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:25.019
 honest,

00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:25.839
 humble,

00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:26.740
 simple,

00:08:27.379 --> 00:08:28.899
 transparent motives

00:08:28.899 --> 00:08:30.500
 for each thing that I do.

00:08:31.259 --> 00:08:32.139
 That's the thing

00:08:32.139 --> 00:08:33.220
 that Paul is trying

00:08:33.220 --> 00:08:34.080
 to communicate here,

00:08:34.139 --> 00:08:34.679
 that the Bible,

00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:35.299
 the Word of God

00:08:35.299 --> 00:08:36.139
 is trying to communicate.

00:08:36.139 --> 00:08:37.740
 That in fact,

00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:40.240
 we don't have to listen

00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:41.319
 to the Dalai Lama

00:08:41.319 --> 00:08:42.199
 to learn about

00:08:42.199 --> 00:08:42.960
 how good motives,

00:08:43.019 --> 00:08:44.299
 although maybe we can learn from him.

00:08:44.340 --> 00:08:45.059
 We don't have to listen

00:08:45.059 --> 00:08:45.939
 to Jacques Derrida.

00:08:46.419 --> 00:08:47.500
 We don't have to listen

00:08:47.500 --> 00:08:48.199
 to Rousseau.

00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:49.019
 We don't have to listen

00:08:49.019 --> 00:08:49.759
 to the columnist

00:08:49.759 --> 00:08:50.419
 and the citizen.

00:08:51.179 --> 00:08:52.080
 That in fact,

00:08:52.659 --> 00:08:53.799
 the Bible itself

00:08:53.799 --> 00:08:55.620
 has profound teaching

00:08:55.620 --> 00:08:56.759
 about what it means

00:08:56.759 --> 00:08:57.980
 to become more like Jesus.

00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:58.740
 Like what it is

00:08:58.740 --> 00:08:59.699
 that God's plan

00:08:59.699 --> 00:09:00.580
 and intention is

00:09:00.580 --> 00:09:01.679
 for your life and mine.

00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:03.299
 And so what the Bible

00:09:03.299 --> 00:09:03.919
 is saying,

00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:04.939
 I'll just read,

00:09:05.139 --> 00:09:05.739
 I'll look at,

00:09:05.819 --> 00:09:06.620
 I'll say the point again

00:09:06.620 --> 00:09:06.979
 out loud,

00:09:07.079 --> 00:09:08.219
 but I'll just read the text again.

00:09:08.319 --> 00:09:09.359
 For our boast is this,

00:09:09.779 --> 00:09:11.459
 the testimony of our conscience

00:09:11.459 --> 00:09:13.979
 that we behaved

00:09:13.979 --> 00:09:14.719
 in the world

00:09:14.719 --> 00:09:15.699
 with simplicity.

00:09:16.459 --> 00:09:17.679
 And that can also mean

00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:18.579
 like a type of

00:09:18.579 --> 00:09:19.399
 a singular,

00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:20.539
 pure motive.

00:09:21.339 --> 00:09:22.199
 In other words,

00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:23.759
 that what he's saying is

00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:24.859
 he doesn't have

00:09:24.859 --> 00:09:26.359
 53 motives,

00:09:26.939 --> 00:09:27.919
 18 of which

00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:29.339
 he's unconscious of.

00:09:29.340 --> 00:09:32.960
 and 15 that he wants

00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:33.540
 to hide

00:09:33.540 --> 00:09:34.920
 and the rest he's sort of

00:09:34.920 --> 00:09:36.720
 willing to make public.

00:09:36.920 --> 00:09:37.600
 That he's not having

00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:38.740
 a whole pile of motives.

00:09:39.379 --> 00:09:40.420
 That there's a type

00:09:40.420 --> 00:09:41.060
 of purity

00:09:41.060 --> 00:09:42.460
 and singularity

00:09:42.460 --> 00:09:43.340
 and simplicity

00:09:43.340 --> 00:09:44.440
 to his motives.

00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:46.560
 A type of coherence

00:09:46.560 --> 00:09:47.120
 to them.

00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:48.160
 In other words,

00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:49.340
 motives that fit.

00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:50.360
 Like one of the things

00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:51.500
 that's going to be developed here

00:09:51.500 --> 00:09:53.000
 that to bring glory

00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:53.759
 to God

00:09:53.759 --> 00:09:55.139
 and to do good

00:09:55.139 --> 00:09:55.860
 for people,

00:09:56.740 --> 00:09:57.480
 in fact,

00:09:57.759 --> 00:09:58.660
 at a deepest level,

00:09:58.659 --> 00:10:00.019
 never contradict each other.

00:10:01.579 --> 00:10:02.419
 Like to bring glory

00:10:02.419 --> 00:10:02.939
 to God

00:10:02.939 --> 00:10:03.519
 and to do good

00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:03.939
 for people

00:10:03.939 --> 00:10:04.659
 don't contradict.

00:10:05.019 --> 00:10:05.879
 It can sound

00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:06.819
 for us as human beings

00:10:06.819 --> 00:10:07.959
 as if it's two motives

00:10:07.959 --> 00:10:09.639
 but properly understood

00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:10.399
 they're,

00:10:10.699 --> 00:10:11.819
 in a sense,

00:10:11.899 --> 00:10:13.319
 it's a type of singularity.

00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:14.219
 It's a motive,

00:10:14.439 --> 00:10:15.480
 it's a group of motives

00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:17.079
 that they fit together.

00:10:17.839 --> 00:10:18.799
 They're not rubbing

00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:19.259
 each other

00:10:19.259 --> 00:10:20.019
 the wrong way.

00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:20.459
 You know,

00:10:20.500 --> 00:10:22.019
 it's not like

00:10:22.019 --> 00:10:23.159
 when,

00:10:23.339 --> 00:10:24.500
 you know,

00:10:24.559 --> 00:10:24.759
 maybe,

00:10:25.199 --> 00:10:25.860
 you know,

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:27.559
 somebody comes,

00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:27.839
 you know,

00:10:27.859 --> 00:10:28.239
 I don't know,

00:10:28.379 --> 00:10:28.539
 you know,

00:10:28.639 --> 00:10:29.919
 you come home late,

00:10:30.019 --> 00:10:31.500
 your teenager comes home late

00:10:31.500 --> 00:10:33.119
 and like way,

00:10:33.239 --> 00:10:33.759
 way late

00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:36.839
 and they have several motives

00:10:36.839 --> 00:10:37.779
 when they talk to you.

00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:39.039
 Their fundamental motive

00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:40.339
 is they want you to go away.

00:10:41.119 --> 00:10:41.859
 They want to try

00:10:41.859 --> 00:10:42.699
 to make you quiet

00:10:42.699 --> 00:10:44.139
 before you dig too deeply

00:10:44.139 --> 00:10:45.899
 into what exactly went on

00:10:45.899 --> 00:10:47.099
 and why you're so late

00:10:47.099 --> 00:10:47.959
 and they want to make

00:10:47.959 --> 00:10:48.979
 themselves look good

00:10:48.979 --> 00:10:49.759
 and they want to make you

00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:50.279
 look bad

00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:50.979
 and there's a whole pile

00:10:50.979 --> 00:10:51.819
 of different motives

00:10:51.819 --> 00:10:53.079
 that are going on there

00:10:53.079 --> 00:10:53.459
 and they don't want

00:10:53.459 --> 00:10:54.099
 to tell the truth.

00:10:54.259 --> 00:10:55.139
 Get the picture,

00:10:55.319 --> 00:10:55.459
 okay?

00:10:55.460 --> 00:10:56.620
 That's not what this

00:10:56.620 --> 00:10:57.360
 is talking about.

00:10:58.259 --> 00:10:58.420
 So,

00:10:58.740 --> 00:10:59.680
 for our boast is this,

00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:00.860
 the testimony of our conscience,

00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:02.379
 we behaved in the world

00:11:02.379 --> 00:11:04.000
 with simplicity

00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:05.580
 and it has this cluster

00:11:05.580 --> 00:11:06.259
 of ideas

00:11:06.259 --> 00:11:07.060
 of purity,

00:11:07.639 --> 00:11:09.379
 of coherence,

00:11:09.560 --> 00:11:10.220
 consistency

00:11:10.220 --> 00:11:11.940
 and godly sincerity,

00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:12.900
 a sincerity

00:11:12.900 --> 00:11:14.000
 that comes from God.

00:11:15.680 --> 00:11:17.639
 Not by earthly wisdom

00:11:17.639 --> 00:11:20.080
 but by the grace of God

00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:21.620
 and supremely so towards you.

00:11:21.780 --> 00:11:21.879
 So,

00:11:21.920 --> 00:11:22.379
 you see this?

00:11:22.800 --> 00:11:24.139
 It's what the text is saying

00:11:24.139 --> 00:11:25.600
 is that as God's grace

00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.279
 has a deeper and deeper role

00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:28.639
 and hold in our lives,

00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:29.939
 as God's grace

00:11:29.939 --> 00:11:31.779
 forms my mind

00:11:31.779 --> 00:11:33.460
 and forms my heart

00:11:33.460 --> 00:11:34.799
 and forms my will

00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:37.299
 and forms how I see the world

00:11:37.299 --> 00:11:39.059
 and how I hear the world

00:11:39.059 --> 00:11:41.240
 and how I understand the world

00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:42.419
 as God's grace,

00:11:42.860 --> 00:11:43.439
 which only,

00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:43.819
 of course,

00:11:43.879 --> 00:11:44.480
 means that you're getting

00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:45.399
 closer to Jesus

00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:47.259
 and thinking about

00:11:47.259 --> 00:11:48.200
 what he did for us

00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:48.939
 on the cross

00:11:48.939 --> 00:11:50.039
 and who he is

00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:51.539
 and his love for us,

00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:52.700
 is that as Jesus

00:11:52.700 --> 00:11:53.780
 comes closer to us

00:11:53.780 --> 00:11:55.060
 and we get closer to Jesus,

00:11:55.340 --> 00:11:56.800
 one of the byproducts

00:11:56.800 --> 00:11:57.300
 of that

00:11:57.300 --> 00:11:58.500
 will be

00:11:58.500 --> 00:11:59.540
 that our motives

00:11:59.540 --> 00:12:00.259
 become

00:12:00.259 --> 00:12:02.120
 good motives,

00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:04.660
 that they're honest,

00:12:05.100 --> 00:12:06.520
 that there's a humility

00:12:06.520 --> 00:12:07.759
 to our motives

00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:09.280
 because there should be

00:12:09.280 --> 00:12:10.080
 a greater concern

00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:10.600
 for the other

00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:11.379
 and a greater concern

00:12:11.379 --> 00:12:11.940
 for God

00:12:11.940 --> 00:12:13.960
 and that they're simple,

00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:16.060
 you know,

00:12:16.060 --> 00:12:17.340
 more like a dog's motives,

00:12:18.040 --> 00:12:18.259
 you know,

00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:19.580
 dogs just want to be fed,

00:12:19.580 --> 00:12:20.840
 padded,

00:12:21.160 --> 00:12:21.620
 you know,

00:12:21.980 --> 00:12:23.000
 they're not like cats

00:12:23.000 --> 00:12:24.160
 trying to plot

00:12:24.160 --> 00:12:24.780
 how to take over

00:12:24.780 --> 00:12:25.240
 your home

00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:25.600
 and the rest

00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:26.379
 of the universe.

00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:27.980
 Like,

00:12:28.040 --> 00:12:28.180
 you know,

00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:29.440
 did I just say that?

00:12:29.480 --> 00:12:29.520
 Yeah,

00:12:29.560 --> 00:12:30.420
 become more like a dog,

00:12:30.520 --> 00:12:31.259
 less like a cat.

00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:31.520
 Sorry,

00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:32.420
 there's no comment here

00:12:32.420 --> 00:12:33.379
 about you cat lovers.

00:12:33.639 --> 00:12:34.379
 You have your own reasons

00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:35.160
 to love cats.

00:12:35.340 --> 00:12:35.560
 Anyway,

00:12:36.139 --> 00:12:36.560
 simple,

00:12:36.740 --> 00:12:37.600
 transparent motives

00:12:37.600 --> 00:12:38.700
 for each thing that I do.

00:12:38.820 --> 00:12:39.800
 That's what the Bible

00:12:39.800 --> 00:12:41.520
 is saying here.

00:12:42.680 --> 00:12:43.580
 It's a very,

00:12:43.680 --> 00:12:44.720
 very simple thing,

00:12:45.259 --> 00:12:45.640
 a very,

00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:47.120
 very powerful thing.

00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:50.560
 And it helps to explain,

00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:52.759
 once you understand this

00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:53.960
 as a bit of a key,

00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:56.399
 it helps you to understand

00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:58.139
 some of the confusing things

00:12:58.139 --> 00:12:59.299
 that are going on

00:12:59.299 --> 00:12:59.720
 in the letter,

00:12:59.759 --> 00:13:00.460
 right from the beginning

00:13:00.460 --> 00:13:00.980
 of the letter

00:13:00.980 --> 00:13:02.440
 and on and on and on,

00:13:02.500 --> 00:13:03.399
 is that Paul is trying

00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:04.039
 to demonstrate

00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:05.320
 to his hearers

00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:08.299
 what his motives actually are.

00:13:08.399 --> 00:13:08.759
 He's saying,

00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:09.259
 one moment,

00:13:09.340 --> 00:13:10.560
 you've misunderstood me.

00:13:10.639 --> 00:13:11.580
 I'm acting in a way

00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:12.700
 which is for your good.

00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:14.060
 I'm acting in a way

00:13:14.060 --> 00:13:15.139
 which brings glory to God.

00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:16.039
 I'm acting in a very

00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:16.860
 consistent way

00:13:16.860 --> 00:13:18.100
 and I'm keeping my word.

00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:19.080
 If you understand it,

00:13:19.100 --> 00:13:19.940
 like I'm letting you know

00:13:19.940 --> 00:13:20.480
 what I'm doing,

00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:21.800
 I'm only doing things

00:13:21.800 --> 00:13:22.399
 to love you

00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:23.399
 and I'm only doing things

00:13:23.399 --> 00:13:24.960
 that magnify the grace of God

00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:26.820
 and try to make the grace of God

00:13:26.820 --> 00:13:28.060
 more operative amongst you.

00:13:28.460 --> 00:13:28.539
 So,

00:13:28.680 --> 00:13:29.500
 like jump ahead

00:13:29.500 --> 00:13:30.460
 to chapter 2,

00:13:30.539 --> 00:13:31.500
 verses 1 to 11.

00:13:31.940 --> 00:13:32.620
 And if you sort of

00:13:32.620 --> 00:13:33.860
 understand verse 12,

00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:35.539
 you can start to tease out

00:13:35.539 --> 00:13:35.940
 a little bit

00:13:35.940 --> 00:13:36.740
 about what's going on

00:13:36.740 --> 00:13:38.220
 in some of these confusing texts

00:13:38.220 --> 00:13:38.759
 in the Bible.

00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:39.580
 See,

00:13:39.700 --> 00:13:40.899
 that's the thing about the Bible.

00:13:41.080 --> 00:13:41.620
 There's often,

00:13:41.899 --> 00:13:43.000
 you don't have to sort of think,

00:13:43.420 --> 00:13:43.539
 oh,

00:13:43.560 --> 00:13:44.580
 I need to read this quote

00:13:44.580 --> 00:13:45.480
 from somebody else

00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:46.620
 to try to understand the Bible.

00:13:46.620 --> 00:13:47.860
 God himself

00:13:47.860 --> 00:13:49.740
 usually provides

00:13:49.740 --> 00:13:51.060
 the way to understand it

00:13:51.060 --> 00:13:52.220
 within the text itself.

00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:54.240
 But look at verses 1 to 11.

00:13:54.820 --> 00:13:55.879
 For I made up my mind

00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:57.679
 not to make another painful visit

00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:58.340
 to you.

00:13:59.700 --> 00:14:01.560
 Because he'd had a previous visit

00:14:01.560 --> 00:14:02.639
 that had been very painful.

00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:03.519
 It had been painful

00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:05.539
 because he loved them.

00:14:06.320 --> 00:14:07.639
 He had to confront them.

00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:10.419
 He'd had to confront them

00:14:10.419 --> 00:14:11.200
 about some things

00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:11.899
 that they were doing

00:14:11.899 --> 00:14:13.879
 that were just deeply wrong.

00:14:15.299 --> 00:14:15.639
 Like,

00:14:16.139 --> 00:14:17.240
 a man was sleeping

00:14:17.240 --> 00:14:17.939
 with his mother

00:14:17.939 --> 00:14:22.179
 and he had to confront them

00:14:22.179 --> 00:14:22.779
 about that.

00:14:24.899 --> 00:14:26.000
 People were using

00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:27.100
 the law courts

00:14:27.100 --> 00:14:28.980
 to rip each other off

00:14:28.980 --> 00:14:31.279
 and he had to confront them

00:14:31.279 --> 00:14:31.939
 about that.

00:14:33.299 --> 00:14:35.100
 Not because he wasn't honest,

00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:36.600
 not because he wasn't humble,

00:14:36.740 --> 00:14:38.059
 not because he wasn't good

00:14:38.059 --> 00:14:38.799
 or loved them,

00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:39.799
 but because those things

00:14:39.799 --> 00:14:40.559
 are just wrong.

00:14:43.059 --> 00:14:43.379
 Okay?

00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:44.299
 I'll go back.

00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:45.439
 For I made up my mind

00:14:45.439 --> 00:14:46.879
 not to make another painful visit

00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:47.219
 to you.

00:14:47.299 --> 00:14:49.599
 For if I cause you pain,

00:14:49.839 --> 00:14:51.219
 who is there to make me glad

00:14:51.219 --> 00:14:52.759
 but the one whom I have pained?

00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:53.179
 In other words,

00:14:53.299 --> 00:14:55.500
 he wants to be with them.

00:14:56.279 --> 00:14:57.059
 And I wrote,

00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:57.580
 as I did,

00:14:57.639 --> 00:14:58.379
 so that when I came

00:14:58.379 --> 00:14:59.720
 I might not suffer pain

00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:00.179
 from those

00:15:00.179 --> 00:15:01.559
 who should have made me rejoice.

00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:02.819
 For I felt sure

00:15:02.819 --> 00:15:03.679
 of all of you

00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:04.399
 that my joy

00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:05.559
 would be the joy of you all.

00:15:06.179 --> 00:15:07.179
 For I wrote to you

00:15:07.179 --> 00:15:08.240
 out of much affliction

00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:09.319
 and anguish of heart

00:15:09.319 --> 00:15:10.179
 and with many tears

00:15:10.179 --> 00:15:11.480
 not to cause you pain

00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:12.240
 but to let you know

00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:13.080
 the abundant love

00:15:13.080 --> 00:15:13.879
 that I have for you.

00:15:14.819 --> 00:15:15.740
 And then he goes on

00:15:15.740 --> 00:15:16.659
 to another issue

00:15:16.659 --> 00:15:17.879
 like that some of the people

00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:19.039
 that he had to deal with

00:15:19.039 --> 00:15:19.639
 there had in fact

00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:20.379
 been repentance

00:15:20.379 --> 00:15:21.399
 and amendment of life.

00:15:21.399 --> 00:15:22.899
 And he's revealing here

00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:24.159
 that his goal

00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:25.360
 had always been

00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:26.939
 restoration of relationships.

00:15:27.759 --> 00:15:29.559
 His goal had always been

00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:31.240
 that grace is extended.

00:15:32.019 --> 00:15:32.959
 Not judge,

00:15:33.220 --> 00:15:33.759
 not that,

00:15:33.860 --> 00:15:34.000
 you know,

00:15:34.059 --> 00:15:35.419
 you messed up once

00:15:35.419 --> 00:15:37.019
 and it's one strike

00:15:37.019 --> 00:15:38.100
 and you're out of my life

00:15:38.100 --> 00:15:38.980
 for the rest of your life.

00:15:39.059 --> 00:15:39.939
 That that's not the way,

00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:40.299
 no, no,

00:15:40.379 --> 00:15:41.360
 there's going to be grace.

00:15:41.899 --> 00:15:42.779
 There's got to be grace.

00:15:42.899 --> 00:15:44.059
 The goal with grace

00:15:44.059 --> 00:15:46.199
 is to restore relationships,

00:15:46.439 --> 00:15:47.559
 to restore people,

00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:48.559
 to get people back

00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:49.500
 on the right path,

00:15:49.500 --> 00:15:51.199
 to build relationships.

00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:52.480
 So in verse 5,

00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.220
 now if anyone has caused pain,

00:15:54.779 --> 00:15:56.199
 he has caused it not to me

00:15:56.199 --> 00:15:57.079
 but in some measure,

00:15:57.159 --> 00:15:58.340
 not to put it too severely,

00:15:58.579 --> 00:15:59.399
 but to all of you.

00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:00.439
 For such a one,

00:16:01.019 --> 00:16:01.779
 this punishment

00:16:01.779 --> 00:16:03.139
 by the majority is enough.

00:16:04.199 --> 00:16:06.159
 So you should rather turn

00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:07.659
 to forgive and comfort him

00:16:07.659 --> 00:16:10.139
 or he may be overwhelmed

00:16:10.139 --> 00:16:11.740
 by excessive sorrow.

00:16:12.259 --> 00:16:13.379
 So I beg you

00:16:13.379 --> 00:16:15.059
 to reaffirm your love for him.

00:16:15.480 --> 00:16:16.819
 For this is why I wrote,

00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:18.980
 that I might test you,

00:16:18.980 --> 00:16:20.600
 not in terms of like test,

00:16:20.700 --> 00:16:22.200
 like a laboratory.

00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:24.340
 It's testing,

00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:25.480
 it's as if you're trying

00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:26.360
 to walk across

00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:28.320
 a pot,

00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:28.539
 you know,

00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:29.820
 some water that's frozen,

00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:30.800
 you're testing the ice.

00:16:31.259 --> 00:16:32.019
 So it's not like

00:16:32.019 --> 00:16:33.139
 a malicious superior

00:16:33.139 --> 00:16:33.980
 type of testing.

00:16:34.139 --> 00:16:35.580
 It's just making sure

00:16:35.580 --> 00:16:36.480
 that it's nice and solid.

00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:37.779
 You're going to go across it

00:16:37.779 --> 00:16:38.600
 first

00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:40.360
 so that the people behind you

00:16:40.360 --> 00:16:41.240
 can go across it

00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:42.379
 and they won't get

00:16:42.379 --> 00:16:43.000
 their feet wet.

00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:44.120
 So that's the type

00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:45.080
 of testing that's meant.

00:16:45.659 --> 00:16:46.399
 For this is why I wrote,

00:16:46.480 --> 00:16:47.539
 that I might test you

00:16:47.539 --> 00:16:48.539
 and know whether you

00:16:48.539 --> 00:16:49.779
 are obedient in everything.

00:16:50.419 --> 00:16:51.419
 Anyone whom you forgive,

00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:52.399
 I also forgive.

00:16:52.580 --> 00:16:52.899
 Indeed,

00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:55.000
 what I have forgiven,

00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:56.220
 if I have forgiven anything,

00:16:56.700 --> 00:16:57.899
 has been for your sake

00:16:57.899 --> 00:16:59.100
 in the presence of Christ

00:16:59.100 --> 00:17:01.120
 so that we would not

00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:02.440
 be outwitted by Satan

00:17:02.440 --> 00:17:03.700
 for we are not ignorant

00:17:03.700 --> 00:17:05.279
 of his designs.

00:17:05.460 --> 00:17:05.779
 Why?

00:17:05.900 --> 00:17:06.779
 Because the devil,

00:17:07.339 --> 00:17:08.640
 he's the accuser,

00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:12.119
 he's the slanderer,

00:17:12.119 --> 00:17:14.659
 he's the destroyer,

00:17:15.259 --> 00:17:17.159
 he's the ruiner

00:17:17.159 --> 00:17:18.679
 of relationships

00:17:18.679 --> 00:17:22.159
 and that's what he does.

00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:23.979
 He blasphemes.

00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:25.319
 He makes us doubt God.

00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:27.000
 He blasphemes

00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:27.599
 and makes us want

00:17:27.599 --> 00:17:28.719
 to take the place of God.

00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:30.500
 And Paul is saying,

00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:32.019
 I understand that the devil

00:17:32.019 --> 00:17:33.399
 never misses church

00:17:33.399 --> 00:17:36.959
 and never misses a time

00:17:36.959 --> 00:17:37.519
 you get together

00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:38.479
 for your Bible study

00:17:38.479 --> 00:17:39.399
 or your prayer meetings.

00:17:39.500 --> 00:17:40.299
 I'm aware of that.

00:17:40.299 --> 00:17:42.359
 And that's why we need

00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:43.180
 to be rooted here

00:17:43.180 --> 00:17:43.720
 in grace

00:17:43.720 --> 00:17:44.579
 and in the gospel.

00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:46.980
 That's what's going on.

00:17:48.139 --> 00:17:49.039
 And so we see

00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:50.879
 it's a deep teaching

00:17:50.879 --> 00:17:51.460
 in the Bible.

00:17:51.619 --> 00:17:52.200
 It's a very,

00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:53.240
 very important teaching

00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:53.859
 in the Bible.

00:17:56.240 --> 00:17:57.240
 Now, actually,

00:17:57.839 --> 00:18:01.500
 it's not just that Christians,

00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:02.039
 of course,

00:18:02.099 --> 00:18:02.659
 have problems

00:18:02.659 --> 00:18:03.619
 with mixed motives.

00:18:03.619 --> 00:18:05.359
 and one of the things

00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:06.539
 is that the text

00:18:06.539 --> 00:18:07.119
 is going to,

00:18:07.199 --> 00:18:07.939
 as we go on

00:18:07.939 --> 00:18:08.539
 in weeks and weeks,

00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:08.939
 is going to try

00:18:08.939 --> 00:18:09.739
 to confront us

00:18:09.739 --> 00:18:10.219
 of motives

00:18:10.219 --> 00:18:10.959
 that we didn't realize

00:18:10.959 --> 00:18:11.659
 that we have.

00:18:12.619 --> 00:18:13.559
 But the text

00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:14.579
 has also hinted

00:18:14.579 --> 00:18:15.179
 at something

00:18:15.179 --> 00:18:16.299
 that touches

00:18:16.299 --> 00:18:18.039
 on a great Canadian fear.

00:18:18.899 --> 00:18:20.000
 It's a great Canadian

00:18:20.000 --> 00:18:21.079
 and American fear

00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:22.819
 that affects Christians.

00:18:23.799 --> 00:18:24.019
 You know,

00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:24.739
 a few years ago,

00:18:24.859 --> 00:18:25.719
 the Da Vinci Code

00:18:25.719 --> 00:18:26.639
 was really popular

00:18:26.639 --> 00:18:28.099
 and it's like 30 million books

00:18:28.099 --> 00:18:28.839
 or something like that.

00:18:28.839 --> 00:18:29.759
 I read the book

00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:32.659
 after it sold 20 million copies.

00:18:32.919 --> 00:18:34.039
 I took it out of the library.

00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:35.799
 It was really

00:18:35.799 --> 00:18:37.139
 a poorly written book.

00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:38.439
 I'm not just saying

00:18:38.439 --> 00:18:39.039
 that to diss it,

00:18:39.139 --> 00:18:39.980
 but it wasn't really

00:18:39.980 --> 00:18:41.119
 a very well-written book,

00:18:41.199 --> 00:18:42.339
 but it sold so many copies.

00:18:42.879 --> 00:18:43.559
 And part of the reason

00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:44.220
 I think it sold

00:18:44.220 --> 00:18:45.019
 so many copies

00:18:45.019 --> 00:18:45.980
 is it touched

00:18:45.980 --> 00:18:47.159
 on a deep fear

00:18:47.159 --> 00:18:49.720
 that people have

00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:51.059
 about the Christian faith,

00:18:51.819 --> 00:18:53.220
 that the Christian faith

00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:54.439
 is based on lies

00:18:54.439 --> 00:18:56.759
 and a desire for power,

00:18:56.759 --> 00:18:58.920
 that it's not honest,

00:18:59.619 --> 00:19:00.879
 that it's inauthentic,

00:19:01.700 --> 00:19:03.900
 and they've hurt people

00:19:03.900 --> 00:19:05.960
 and the Christian faith,

00:19:06.099 --> 00:19:06.240
 I mean,

00:19:06.279 --> 00:19:07.099
 there are all those priests

00:19:07.099 --> 00:19:08.039
 and the pedophiles

00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:09.259
 and it's all those guys,

00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:09.640
 you know,

00:19:09.720 --> 00:19:10.319
 who head up,

00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:10.519
 you know,

00:19:10.559 --> 00:19:11.539
 they're all against gays

00:19:11.539 --> 00:19:12.500
 while they're having sex

00:19:12.500 --> 00:19:14.460
 with male bodybuilders

00:19:14.460 --> 00:19:14.900
 and, you know,

00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:15.240
 like that.

00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:16.599
 I'm not making stories up.

00:19:16.660 --> 00:19:17.119
 Those are things

00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:17.859
 that have happened

00:19:17.859 --> 00:19:18.920
 over the last few years,

00:19:18.980 --> 00:19:19.160
 right?

00:19:19.259 --> 00:19:19.799
 Ted Haggard.

00:19:20.539 --> 00:19:22.160
 And so many people

00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:22.819
 in our culture,

00:19:22.960 --> 00:19:24.720
 they have this sense

00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:26.200
 that you can't trust

00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:26.720
 the Bible,

00:19:26.880 --> 00:19:27.600
 you can't trust

00:19:27.600 --> 00:19:28.539
 the Christian faith,

00:19:28.600 --> 00:19:29.580
 that there's been lying

00:19:29.580 --> 00:19:30.259
 that's going on,

00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:31.080
 there's been hiding

00:19:31.080 --> 00:19:31.980
 that's going on

00:19:31.980 --> 00:19:33.500
 and you can't trust it

00:19:33.500 --> 00:19:34.920
 and I think people

00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:35.900
 like the Da Vinci Code

00:19:35.900 --> 00:19:36.700
 partially because

00:19:36.700 --> 00:19:38.140
 it expressed a lot of that

00:19:38.140 --> 00:19:40.420
 and so here there's

00:19:40.420 --> 00:19:41.660
 a bit of a full disclosure.

00:19:42.740 --> 00:19:43.480
 What we call

00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:44.440
 2 Corinthians

00:19:44.440 --> 00:19:46.200
 could really be called

00:19:46.200 --> 00:19:47.120
 4 Corinthians

00:19:47.120 --> 00:19:50.500
 because

00:19:50.500 --> 00:19:53.380
 Paul wrote

00:19:53.380 --> 00:19:54.840
 at least four letters

00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:55.459
 to the church

00:19:55.459 --> 00:19:55.959
 to the church in Corinth

00:19:55.959 --> 00:19:56.980
 and only two of them

00:19:56.980 --> 00:19:57.579
 are in the Bible.

00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:00.919
 So is this

00:20:00.919 --> 00:20:02.419
 evidence

00:20:02.419 --> 00:20:03.599
 of

00:20:03.599 --> 00:20:05.419
 something really bad?

00:20:06.059 --> 00:20:06.639
 Well first let me

00:20:06.639 --> 00:20:07.220
 just show it to you.

00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:08.359
 If you turn in your Bibles

00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:09.199
 to 1 Corinthians

00:20:09.199 --> 00:20:10.099
 chapter 5

00:20:10.099 --> 00:20:10.839
 verse 9

00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:13.399
 1 Corinthians 5

00:20:13.399 --> 00:20:14.359
 verse 9

00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.740
 it says this

00:20:17.740 --> 00:20:20.440
 I wrote to you

00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:21.319
 in my letter

00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:22.240
 whoa

00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:23.440
 I wrote to you

00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:23.859
 in my letter

00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:25.120
 not to associate

00:20:25.120 --> 00:20:26.339
 with sexually immoral people

00:20:26.339 --> 00:20:26.980
 and we won't go on

00:20:26.980 --> 00:20:27.519
 about what it is

00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:28.099
 I just want to bring

00:20:28.099 --> 00:20:28.559
 that out to you.

00:20:28.620 --> 00:20:29.500
 So in 1 Corinthians

00:20:29.500 --> 00:20:30.200
 he mentions

00:20:30.200 --> 00:20:30.559
 that he wrote

00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:31.299
 an earlier letter

00:20:31.299 --> 00:20:33.640
 and if you just now

00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:34.819
 turn back to the text

00:20:34.819 --> 00:20:35.440
 that we're looking at

00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:36.940
 2 Corinthians chapter 2

00:20:36.940 --> 00:20:40.420
 I sort of combined

00:20:40.420 --> 00:20:41.460
 several letters

00:20:41.460 --> 00:20:42.720
 in my explanation

00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:43.539
 of the text

00:20:43.539 --> 00:20:44.599
 but if you look again

00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:46.379
 at verses 1 to 3

00:20:46.379 --> 00:20:47.179
 chapter 2

00:20:47.179 --> 00:20:48.259
 verses 1 to 3

00:20:48.259 --> 00:20:49.980
 for I made up my mind

00:20:49.980 --> 00:20:50.759
 not to make another

00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:52.039
 painful visit to you

00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:53.699
 for if I cause you pain

00:20:53.699 --> 00:20:54.740
 who is there

00:20:54.740 --> 00:20:55.899
 to make me glad

00:20:55.899 --> 00:20:56.419
 but the one

00:20:56.419 --> 00:20:57.319
 whom I have pained

00:20:57.319 --> 00:20:58.299
 and I wrote

00:20:58.299 --> 00:20:59.159
 as I did

00:20:59.159 --> 00:21:00.919
 so that when I came

00:21:00.919 --> 00:21:02.159
 I might not suffer pain

00:21:02.159 --> 00:21:02.759
 from those

00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:03.699
 who should have

00:21:03.699 --> 00:21:04.539
 made me rejoice.

00:21:05.259 --> 00:21:06.159
 Now here's the point

00:21:06.159 --> 00:21:07.759
 you know all that stuff

00:21:07.759 --> 00:21:08.759
 which is a bit confusing

00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:09.519
 I went to Troas

00:21:09.519 --> 00:21:10.519
 I went to Macedonia

00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:11.740
 like really careful

00:21:11.740 --> 00:21:12.759
 Bible scholars

00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:13.459
 when they look at

00:21:13.459 --> 00:21:14.139
 all of that stuff

00:21:14.140 --> 00:21:15.180
 they can piece together

00:21:15.180 --> 00:21:15.580
 things

00:21:15.580 --> 00:21:16.440
 and the letter here

00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:17.060
 you just have to

00:21:17.060 --> 00:21:18.040
 trust me on this one

00:21:18.040 --> 00:21:19.880
 that the letter here

00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:20.900
 that it's referring to

00:21:20.900 --> 00:21:21.880
 can't just be

00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:22.540
 1 Corinthians

00:21:22.540 --> 00:21:24.140
 so in a sense

00:21:24.140 --> 00:21:24.580
 you could say

00:21:24.580 --> 00:21:26.480
 there's Corinthians A

00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:28.140
 then 1 Corinthians

00:21:28.140 --> 00:21:29.340
 Corinthians A

00:21:29.340 --> 00:21:29.960
 that's Canadian

00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:30.220
 eh?

00:21:31.560 --> 00:21:31.980
 I'm sorry

00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:34.460
 Corinthians A

00:21:34.460 --> 00:21:35.940
 1 Corinthians

00:21:35.940 --> 00:21:37.300
 Corinthians B

00:21:37.300 --> 00:21:38.520
 and then 2 Corinthians

00:21:38.520 --> 00:21:40.520
 so what's going on here?

00:21:41.740 --> 00:21:42.440
 Are Christians

00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:45.960
 like what's the Christian

00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:46.740
 claim here?

00:21:46.820 --> 00:21:47.779
 Should we be worried?

00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:49.220
 When I was preaching

00:21:49.220 --> 00:21:49.860
 a class

00:21:49.860 --> 00:21:50.860
 teaching a class

00:21:50.860 --> 00:21:51.279
 on Monday

00:21:51.279 --> 00:21:51.779
 I began

00:21:51.779 --> 00:21:52.559
 one of the things

00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:53.220
 I began with

00:21:53.220 --> 00:21:53.680
 was this

00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:54.440
 if they found

00:21:54.440 --> 00:21:55.380
 one of those other letters

00:21:55.380 --> 00:21:56.259
 should it be in the Bible?

00:21:57.039 --> 00:21:57.900
 For instance

00:21:57.900 --> 00:21:59.759
 well here's the thing

00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:00.620
 if you could put that up

00:22:00.620 --> 00:22:01.080
 on the screen

00:22:01.080 --> 00:22:02.039
 it would be very helpful

00:22:02.039 --> 00:22:04.740
 Paul's writings

00:22:04.740 --> 00:22:06.220
 are not in the Bible

00:22:06.220 --> 00:22:07.440
 because they are Paul's

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:10.900
 you just have to understand

00:22:10.900 --> 00:22:11.460
 what Christians

00:22:11.460 --> 00:22:12.000
 are claiming

00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:13.519
 it's a very transparent

00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:14.740
 honest

00:22:14.740 --> 00:22:15.860
 simple

00:22:15.860 --> 00:22:16.840
 understanding

00:22:16.840 --> 00:22:18.080
 okay

00:22:18.080 --> 00:22:18.660
 but sometimes

00:22:18.660 --> 00:22:19.660
 people don't understand

00:22:19.660 --> 00:22:20.759
 what Christians claim

00:22:20.759 --> 00:22:23.380
 Christians aren't claiming

00:22:23.380 --> 00:22:25.360
 that there's something

00:22:25.360 --> 00:22:26.880
 inherently special

00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:27.700
 about Paul

00:22:27.700 --> 00:22:29.759
 we aren't claiming

00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:31.360
 that

00:22:31.360 --> 00:22:33.920
 Christians aren't claiming

00:22:33.920 --> 00:22:35.820
 that like our poets

00:22:35.819 --> 00:22:37.179
 our philosophers

00:22:37.179 --> 00:22:39.099
 our mystics

00:22:39.099 --> 00:22:41.939
 our hymn writers

00:22:41.939 --> 00:22:43.740
 our philosophers

00:22:43.740 --> 00:22:44.519
 they're better than

00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:45.879
 Muslim and Buddhist ones

00:22:45.879 --> 00:22:47.179
 you know

00:22:47.179 --> 00:22:48.579
 because we have ones

00:22:48.579 --> 00:22:49.819
 who are more inspired

00:22:49.819 --> 00:22:50.519
 and are

00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:51.839
 being able to think

00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:52.639
 about God

00:22:52.639 --> 00:22:53.279
 better

00:22:53.279 --> 00:22:55.200
 and are able to reach

00:22:55.200 --> 00:22:56.339
 higher into God

00:22:56.339 --> 00:22:57.379
 and to understand

00:22:57.379 --> 00:22:58.700
 God better than all those

00:22:58.700 --> 00:23:00.359
 that is not a Christian claim

00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:03.039
 no well instructed

00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:03.859
 Christian who's read

00:23:03.859 --> 00:23:04.220
 the Bible

00:23:04.220 --> 00:23:05.099
 who's listened to Jesus

00:23:05.099 --> 00:23:06.359
 should ever believe that

00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:09.119
 Christians don't believe

00:23:09.119 --> 00:23:09.779
 that somehow

00:23:09.779 --> 00:23:11.199
 our poets

00:23:11.199 --> 00:23:13.500
 and our philosophers

00:23:13.500 --> 00:23:14.539
 and theologians

00:23:14.539 --> 00:23:15.539
 are somehow better

00:23:15.539 --> 00:23:16.559
 at reaching up to God

00:23:16.559 --> 00:23:16.879
 no

00:23:16.879 --> 00:23:18.439
 we believe

00:23:18.439 --> 00:23:19.559
 that we cannot

00:23:19.559 --> 00:23:20.599
 possibly know

00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:21.480
 anything true

00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:22.839
 about the infinite God

00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:24.299
 and unless

00:23:24.299 --> 00:23:25.779
 the infinite God

00:23:25.779 --> 00:23:27.199
 speaks to us

00:23:27.199 --> 00:23:28.980
 we could not know

00:23:28.980 --> 00:23:29.699
 anything true

00:23:29.699 --> 00:23:30.439
 about him

00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:34.120
 so what Christians

00:23:34.120 --> 00:23:34.759
 claim

00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:36.820
 is that at the end of the day

00:23:36.820 --> 00:23:37.980
 when you read the New Testament

00:23:37.980 --> 00:23:39.420
 what you're really listening to

00:23:39.420 --> 00:23:40.600
 is the teaching of Jesus

00:23:40.600 --> 00:23:43.279
 because you're listening to

00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:43.920
 Jesus

00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:44.779
 who spent

00:23:44.779 --> 00:23:46.180
 many many years

00:23:46.180 --> 00:23:47.820
 three years

00:23:47.820 --> 00:23:49.400
 and then some other time

00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:50.100
 after the resurrection

00:23:50.100 --> 00:23:50.820
 three years

00:23:50.820 --> 00:23:53.000
 teaching the apostles

00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:54.819
 and then

00:23:54.819 --> 00:23:56.859
 the New Testament

00:23:56.859 --> 00:23:58.220
 basically goes back

00:23:58.220 --> 00:23:59.700
 to the apostolic witness

00:23:59.700 --> 00:24:00.420
 the test

00:24:00.420 --> 00:24:01.140
 that it ultimately

00:24:01.140 --> 00:24:02.259
 comes from Jesus

00:24:02.259 --> 00:24:03.380
 but it's making

00:24:03.380 --> 00:24:04.380
 a deeper type

00:24:04.380 --> 00:24:04.880
 of claim

00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:05.619
 with this

00:24:05.619 --> 00:24:07.220
 because it's claiming

00:24:07.220 --> 00:24:08.500
 that Jesus just isn't

00:24:08.500 --> 00:24:09.500
 the best of the prophets

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:10.640
 the best of the mystics

00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:11.839
 the best of the philosophers

00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:13.380
 the best of the theologians

00:24:13.380 --> 00:24:14.559
 the best at trying

00:24:14.559 --> 00:24:15.660
 to figure things out

00:24:15.660 --> 00:24:17.080
 Christians believe

00:24:17.080 --> 00:24:18.440
 that Jesus himself

00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:20.700
 came from heaven

00:24:20.700 --> 00:24:23.540
 outside of earth

00:24:23.540 --> 00:24:24.960
 and time and space

00:24:24.960 --> 00:24:27.259
 and the entire created order

00:24:27.259 --> 00:24:29.960
 and that God does a miracle

00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:31.759
 in the womb of Mary

00:24:31.759 --> 00:24:36.060
 and by an act of creation

00:24:36.060 --> 00:24:38.360
 God the son of God

00:24:38.360 --> 00:24:39.920
 the second person of the Trinity

00:24:39.920 --> 00:24:41.120
 one of the

00:24:41.120 --> 00:24:42.920
 that God who's responsible

00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:43.740
 for creating

00:24:43.740 --> 00:24:44.420
 and sustaining

00:24:44.420 --> 00:24:45.440
 the entire universe

00:24:45.440 --> 00:24:46.539
 that God

00:24:46.539 --> 00:24:47.480
 the son of God

00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:49.460
 in the form of that

00:24:49.460 --> 00:24:51.860
 a fertilized egg

00:24:51.860 --> 00:24:54.480
 created in the womb of Mary

00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:55.880
 that God

00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:57.299
 enters his creation

00:24:57.299 --> 00:25:00.380
 he comes from outside

00:25:00.380 --> 00:25:02.559
 into this created order

00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:06.340
 so Paul's writings

00:25:06.340 --> 00:25:07.259
 are not in the Bible

00:25:07.259 --> 00:25:08.820
 because they are Paul's

00:25:08.820 --> 00:25:10.299
 some of Paul's writings

00:25:10.299 --> 00:25:11.120
 are in the Bible

00:25:11.120 --> 00:25:13.000
 only because

00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:14.220
 they are some of the words

00:25:14.220 --> 00:25:15.180
 that God wanted

00:25:15.180 --> 00:25:16.500
 in his word written

00:25:16.500 --> 00:25:18.920
 see at the end of the day

00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:20.799
 Christians believe

00:25:20.799 --> 00:25:22.019
 that God used

00:25:22.019 --> 00:25:22.860
 all sorts of different

00:25:22.860 --> 00:25:23.580
 human means

00:25:23.580 --> 00:25:24.039
 in the sense

00:25:24.039 --> 00:25:24.840
 there's always a dual

00:25:24.840 --> 00:25:26.100
 authorship of the Bible

00:25:26.100 --> 00:25:28.080
 and that God used

00:25:28.080 --> 00:25:28.920
 human means

00:25:28.920 --> 00:25:29.960
 but at the end of the day

00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:30.640
 Paul who

00:25:30.640 --> 00:25:31.060
 who knows

00:25:31.060 --> 00:25:31.779
 maybe Paul wrote

00:25:31.779 --> 00:25:32.440
 a hundred letters

00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:32.960
 maybe he wrote

00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:33.840
 three hundred letters

00:25:33.840 --> 00:25:34.340
 maybe he wrote

00:25:34.340 --> 00:25:35.320
 four hundred letters

00:25:35.320 --> 00:25:36.940
 if Paul was somehow

00:25:36.940 --> 00:25:38.120
 the greatest philosopher

00:25:38.120 --> 00:25:38.660
 and poet

00:25:38.660 --> 00:25:39.380
 and theologian

00:25:39.380 --> 00:25:40.420
 and we were making a claim

00:25:40.420 --> 00:25:41.279
 that he's better at reaching

00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:42.160
 God than somebody else

00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:43.540
 then every one of his writings

00:25:43.540 --> 00:25:44.180
 should be in the Bible

00:25:44.180 --> 00:25:45.560
 but we're not making that claim

00:25:45.560 --> 00:25:46.680
 we're making a claim

00:25:46.680 --> 00:25:47.240
 that in a sense

00:25:47.240 --> 00:25:48.720
 Paul is no different

00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:50.019
 than Balaam's ass

00:25:50.019 --> 00:25:52.980
 who braid

00:25:52.980 --> 00:25:53.820
 and braid

00:25:53.820 --> 00:25:54.680
 and braid

00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:56.720
 but God was able

00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:57.900
 to make that ass speak

00:25:57.900 --> 00:26:01.220
 and that out of all

00:26:01.220 --> 00:26:02.240
 of the writings of Paul

00:26:02.240 --> 00:26:03.300
 some of them

00:26:03.300 --> 00:26:05.140
 are the actual writings

00:26:05.140 --> 00:26:06.759
 that God wanted to have

00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:07.600
 in this book

00:26:07.600 --> 00:26:08.840
 which is how he speaks

00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:09.339
 to us

00:26:09.339 --> 00:26:10.579
 as human beings

00:26:10.579 --> 00:26:12.919
 so there's nothing evil

00:26:12.919 --> 00:26:14.259
 or anything going on there

00:26:14.259 --> 00:26:15.539
 that it was just all part

00:26:15.539 --> 00:26:16.639
 of God's providence

00:26:16.639 --> 00:26:18.000
 of working through the church

00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:19.480
 and working through

00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:20.359
 early Christians

00:26:20.359 --> 00:26:21.439
 to make sure

00:26:21.439 --> 00:26:22.119
 that the words

00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:23.539
 that he wanted

00:26:23.539 --> 00:26:24.659
 spoken

00:26:24.659 --> 00:26:25.599
 and recorded

00:26:25.599 --> 00:26:26.639
 for our good

00:26:26.639 --> 00:26:27.480
 would be there

00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:29.039
 so

00:26:29.039 --> 00:26:30.480
 2 Corinthians

00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:31.159
 is in the Bible

00:26:31.159 --> 00:26:32.559
 not because Paul wrote it

00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:34.959
 at the most fundamental level

00:26:34.959 --> 00:26:36.959
 but because we believe

00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:38.680
 that it was the words

00:26:38.680 --> 00:26:39.640
 that God himself

00:26:39.640 --> 00:26:41.279
 wanted to speak to us

00:26:41.279 --> 00:26:45.200
 now

00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:46.660
 some of you might say

00:26:46.660 --> 00:26:51.140
 well George

00:26:51.140 --> 00:26:51.799
 that's sort of

00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:52.440
 you know

00:26:52.440 --> 00:26:54.299
 that is a little bit

00:26:54.299 --> 00:26:54.980
 interesting

00:26:54.980 --> 00:26:56.279
 but

00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:59.579
 so here's the thing

00:26:59.579 --> 00:27:01.059
 you're making this claim

00:27:01.059 --> 00:27:01.519
 George

00:27:01.519 --> 00:27:01.920
 that

00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:05.259
 if you get closer

00:27:05.259 --> 00:27:05.920
 to Jesus

00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:08.900
 you're going

00:27:08.900 --> 00:27:09.539
 to end up

00:27:09.539 --> 00:27:11.839
 having pure motives

00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:13.400
 George

00:27:13.400 --> 00:27:14.180
 how pure

00:27:14.180 --> 00:27:14.879
 are your motives

00:27:14.879 --> 00:27:16.900
 like George

00:27:16.900 --> 00:27:17.500
 just be honest

00:27:17.500 --> 00:27:17.879
 with us

00:27:17.879 --> 00:27:18.460
 for a second

00:27:18.460 --> 00:27:19.960
 when you get up

00:27:19.960 --> 00:27:20.980
 front and preach

00:27:20.980 --> 00:27:23.440
 like do you want

00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:24.379
 people to like you

00:27:24.379 --> 00:27:27.819
 do you preach

00:27:27.819 --> 00:27:28.220
 George

00:27:28.220 --> 00:27:28.700
 so maybe

00:27:28.700 --> 00:27:29.200
 in the hope

00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:29.680
 that there'd be

00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:30.759
 a bigger congregation

00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:31.500
 like do you want

00:27:31.500 --> 00:27:32.420
 a bigger congregation

00:27:32.420 --> 00:27:33.119
 because it helps

00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:33.640
 your ego

00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:36.400
 George

00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:37.140
 when you preach

00:27:37.140 --> 00:27:37.580
 do you want

00:27:37.580 --> 00:27:38.220
 to make it look

00:27:38.220 --> 00:27:39.060
 like you're smart

00:27:39.060 --> 00:27:41.300
 George

00:27:41.300 --> 00:27:42.000
 when you preach

00:27:42.000 --> 00:27:42.300
 do you want

00:27:42.300 --> 00:27:42.800
 to make it look

00:27:42.800 --> 00:27:43.640
 like you're nice

00:27:43.640 --> 00:27:45.100
 George

00:27:45.100 --> 00:27:46.240
 when you preach

00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:47.580
 and lead the service

00:27:47.580 --> 00:27:48.400
 are you actually

00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:49.560
 doing it for our good

00:27:49.560 --> 00:27:50.660
 and for God's glory

00:27:50.660 --> 00:27:51.259
 or some of these

00:27:51.259 --> 00:27:51.720
 other things

00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:52.040
 working

00:27:52.040 --> 00:27:52.720
 how's it going

00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:53.500
 with you George

00:27:53.500 --> 00:28:00.500
 in other words

00:28:00.500 --> 00:28:01.360
 George

00:28:01.359 --> 00:28:03.479
 are you just

00:28:03.479 --> 00:28:04.139
 trying to pull

00:28:04.139 --> 00:28:04.659
 a religious

00:28:04.659 --> 00:28:05.459
 fast one

00:28:05.459 --> 00:28:06.039
 on us

00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:08.759
 without people

00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:09.379
 noticing

00:28:09.379 --> 00:28:11.519
 because George

00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:11.859
 I'm going to

00:28:11.859 --> 00:28:12.539
 really be honest

00:28:12.539 --> 00:28:13.000
 with you

00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:14.279
 yeah

00:28:14.779 --> 00:28:15.259
 I know

00:28:15.259 --> 00:28:15.979
 I need to have

00:28:15.979 --> 00:28:16.759
 better motives

00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:17.899
 and yeah

00:28:17.899 --> 00:28:18.519
 you know

00:28:18.519 --> 00:28:21.419
 I know

00:28:21.419 --> 00:28:22.359
 that people

00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:23.240
 with bad motives

00:28:23.240 --> 00:28:23.699
 have messed

00:28:23.699 --> 00:28:24.319
 my life up

00:28:24.319 --> 00:28:24.659
 and I know

00:28:24.659 --> 00:28:25.299
 that I've actually

00:28:25.299 --> 00:28:25.919
 maybe messed

00:28:25.919 --> 00:28:26.599
 some other people

00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:26.979
 up because

00:28:26.979 --> 00:28:27.379
 I've had

00:28:27.379 --> 00:28:28.059
 mixed motives

00:28:28.059 --> 00:28:28.359
 George

00:28:28.359 --> 00:28:28.719
 but you know

00:28:28.719 --> 00:28:29.119
 what if you're

00:28:29.119 --> 00:28:29.639
 just giving me

00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:30.180
 a whole pile

00:28:30.180 --> 00:28:31.120
 of religious advice

00:28:31.120 --> 00:28:31.720
 and that's all

00:28:31.720 --> 00:28:32.040
 it is

00:28:32.040 --> 00:28:32.440
 and I don't

00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:33.000
 know George

00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:35.400
 you know

00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:36.060
 my profs

00:28:36.060 --> 00:28:36.780
 give me advice

00:28:36.780 --> 00:28:37.740
 my mom

00:28:37.740 --> 00:28:38.600
 gives me advice

00:28:38.600 --> 00:28:39.180
 my friends

00:28:39.180 --> 00:28:39.759
 give me advice

00:28:39.759 --> 00:28:40.080
 I'm getting

00:28:40.080 --> 00:28:40.840
 beaten up

00:28:40.840 --> 00:28:41.440
 with advice

00:28:41.440 --> 00:28:41.980
 George

00:28:41.980 --> 00:28:43.280
 I don't need

00:28:43.280 --> 00:28:43.860
 to leave here

00:28:43.860 --> 00:28:44.740
 with more advice

00:28:44.740 --> 00:28:48.100
 I mean

00:28:48.100 --> 00:28:48.460
 George

00:28:48.460 --> 00:28:48.940
 if you have

00:28:48.940 --> 00:28:49.259
 to have

00:28:49.259 --> 00:28:49.720
 all these

00:28:49.720 --> 00:28:50.620
 pure motives

00:28:50.620 --> 00:28:51.300
 and all that

00:28:51.300 --> 00:28:51.940
 to get close

00:28:51.940 --> 00:28:52.460
 to Jesus

00:28:52.460 --> 00:28:53.020
 then I don't

00:28:53.020 --> 00:28:53.520
 understand

00:28:53.520 --> 00:28:54.060
 how anybody

00:28:54.060 --> 00:28:54.480
 could ever

00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:55.280
 become a Christian

00:28:55.280 --> 00:28:56.120
 I don't even

00:28:56.120 --> 00:28:56.380
 know why

00:28:56.380 --> 00:28:56.759
 you'd want

00:28:56.759 --> 00:28:57.100
 to become

00:28:57.100 --> 00:28:57.560
 a Christian

00:28:57.559 --> 00:29:02.980
 I mean

00:29:02.980 --> 00:29:05.839
 trying to

00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:06.339
 articulate

00:29:06.339 --> 00:29:07.000
 things like

00:29:07.000 --> 00:29:07.419
 that are not

00:29:07.419 --> 00:29:07.980
 bad things

00:29:07.980 --> 00:29:08.379
 but good

00:29:08.379 --> 00:29:08.799
 things

00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:10.059
 and it

00:29:10.059 --> 00:29:10.599
 really gets

00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:11.139
 at something

00:29:11.139 --> 00:29:11.599
 which is

00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:12.279
 really really

00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:12.679
 can be

00:29:12.679 --> 00:29:13.619
 easily missed

00:29:13.619 --> 00:29:15.480
 you know

00:29:15.480 --> 00:29:15.919
 because the

00:29:15.919 --> 00:29:16.419
 fact of the

00:29:16.419 --> 00:29:17.099
 matter is

00:29:17.099 --> 00:29:18.099
 I didn't

00:29:18.099 --> 00:29:18.679
 have pure

00:29:18.679 --> 00:29:19.019
 motives

00:29:19.019 --> 00:29:19.579
 when I

00:29:19.579 --> 00:29:20.299
 called out

00:29:20.299 --> 00:29:20.779
 to Jesus

00:29:20.779 --> 00:29:21.460
 to be my

00:29:21.460 --> 00:29:21.859
 savior

00:29:21.859 --> 00:29:22.200
 and my

00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:22.539
 lord

00:29:22.539 --> 00:29:24.720
 and if

00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:25.240
 you're here

00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:25.899
 thinking that

00:29:25.899 --> 00:29:26.460
 you have to

00:29:26.460 --> 00:29:27.039
 have pure

00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:27.480
 motives

00:29:27.480 --> 00:29:28.000
 before you

00:29:28.000 --> 00:29:28.399
 can call

00:29:28.399 --> 00:29:28.839
 out to

00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:29.139
 Jesus

00:29:29.139 --> 00:29:29.519
 to be

00:29:29.519 --> 00:29:29.700
 your

00:29:29.700 --> 00:29:30.000
 savior

00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:30.399
 and lord

00:29:30.399 --> 00:29:30.659
 I'm going

00:29:30.659 --> 00:29:30.920
 to tell

00:29:30.920 --> 00:29:31.180
 you right

00:29:31.180 --> 00:29:31.339
 now

00:29:31.339 --> 00:29:31.740
 stop

00:29:31.740 --> 00:29:32.079
 waiting

00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:32.319
 for

00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:32.599
 pure

00:29:32.599 --> 00:29:33.099
 motives

00:29:33.099 --> 00:29:36.059
 because

00:29:36.059 --> 00:29:36.500
 actually

00:29:36.500 --> 00:29:36.920
 that's

00:29:36.920 --> 00:29:37.099
 just

00:29:37.099 --> 00:29:37.359
 the

00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:37.799
 devil

00:29:37.799 --> 00:29:39.039
 trying

00:29:39.039 --> 00:29:39.220
 to

00:29:39.220 --> 00:29:39.779
 confuse

00:29:39.779 --> 00:29:39.980
 you

00:29:39.980 --> 00:29:40.119
 and

00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:40.420
 twist

00:29:40.420 --> 00:29:40.700
 you

00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:42.700
 you see

00:29:42.700 --> 00:29:43.359
 what the

00:29:43.359 --> 00:29:43.839
 text is

00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:44.159
 talking

00:29:44.159 --> 00:29:44.480
 about

00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:44.839
 is

00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:45.159
 something

00:29:45.159 --> 00:29:45.379
 that

00:29:45.379 --> 00:29:45.680
 comes

00:29:45.680 --> 00:29:46.200
 after

00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:46.740
 grace

00:29:46.740 --> 00:29:47.940
 that

00:29:47.940 --> 00:29:48.440
 constantly

00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:48.960
 needs

00:29:48.960 --> 00:29:49.500
 grace

00:29:49.500 --> 00:29:50.799
 but is

00:29:50.799 --> 00:29:51.079
 still

00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:51.579
 dependent

00:29:51.579 --> 00:29:51.960
 upon

00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:52.460
 grace

00:29:52.460 --> 00:29:53.039
 that the

00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:53.339
 text

00:29:53.339 --> 00:29:53.960
 is all

00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:54.359
 talking

00:29:54.359 --> 00:29:54.639
 about

00:29:54.639 --> 00:29:55.240
 grace

00:29:55.240 --> 00:29:56.440
 not

00:29:56.440 --> 00:29:56.740
 more

00:29:56.740 --> 00:29:57.140
 rules

00:29:57.140 --> 00:29:57.519
 and not

00:29:57.519 --> 00:29:57.720
 more

00:29:57.720 --> 00:29:58.200
 advice

00:29:58.200 --> 00:29:59.400
 that in

00:29:59.400 --> 00:29:59.980
 fact all

00:29:59.980 --> 00:30:00.279
 of this

00:30:00.279 --> 00:30:00.880
 advice

00:30:00.880 --> 00:30:01.880
 and everything

00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:03.400
 is all

00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:04.380
 trying to help us

00:30:04.380 --> 00:30:05.019
 to understand

00:30:05.019 --> 00:30:05.559
 something that

00:30:05.559 --> 00:30:06.200
 God does

00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:06.839
 for us

00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:08.180
 not something

00:30:08.180 --> 00:30:08.799
 that we need

00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:09.319
 to do for

00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:09.859
 God

00:30:09.859 --> 00:30:12.459
 look at

00:30:12.459 --> 00:30:12.899
 the text

00:30:12.899 --> 00:30:13.259
 again

00:30:13.259 --> 00:30:14.199
 go back

00:30:14.199 --> 00:30:14.619
 to 2

00:30:14.619 --> 00:30:15.119
 Corinthians

00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:15.819
 chapter 1

00:30:15.819 --> 00:30:16.699
 verse 15

00:30:16.699 --> 00:30:18.740
 because I

00:30:18.740 --> 00:30:19.219
 was sure

00:30:19.219 --> 00:30:19.719
 of this

00:30:19.719 --> 00:30:20.459
 I wanted

00:30:20.459 --> 00:30:20.899
 to come

00:30:20.899 --> 00:30:21.279
 to you

00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:21.659
 first

00:30:21.659 --> 00:30:22.639
 so that

00:30:22.639 --> 00:30:22.939
 you might

00:30:22.939 --> 00:30:23.279
 have a

00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:23.619
 second

00:30:23.619 --> 00:30:24.379
 experience

00:30:24.379 --> 00:30:25.019
 of grace

00:30:25.019 --> 00:30:25.599
 it's a

00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:25.959
 funny

00:30:25.959 --> 00:30:26.559
 expression

00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:27.039
 I'm not

00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:27.219
 going to

00:30:27.219 --> 00:30:27.459
 talk

00:30:27.459 --> 00:30:27.819
 about it

00:30:27.819 --> 00:30:28.019
 it's

00:30:28.019 --> 00:30:28.240
 caused

00:30:28.240 --> 00:30:28.519
 lots

00:30:28.519 --> 00:30:28.699
 of

00:30:28.699 --> 00:30:29.019
 mischief

00:30:29.019 --> 00:30:29.319
 in the

00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:29.559
 church

00:30:29.559 --> 00:30:29.819
 throughout

00:30:29.819 --> 00:30:30.039
 the

00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:30.359
 years

00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:31.319
 but it's

00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:31.659
 sort

00:30:31.659 --> 00:30:31.799
 of

00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:32.159
 neat

00:30:32.159 --> 00:30:33.799
 verse

00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:34.359
 16

00:30:34.359 --> 00:30:34.959
 I wanted

00:30:34.959 --> 00:30:35.419
 to visit

00:30:35.419 --> 00:30:35.679
 you

00:30:35.679 --> 00:30:36.059
 on your

00:30:36.059 --> 00:30:36.279
 way

00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:36.479
 to

00:30:36.479 --> 00:30:37.199
 Macedonia

00:30:37.199 --> 00:30:37.779
 and to

00:30:37.779 --> 00:30:37.959
 come

00:30:37.959 --> 00:30:38.240
 back

00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:38.539
 to you

00:30:38.539 --> 00:30:38.719
 from

00:30:38.719 --> 00:30:39.319
 Macedonia

00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:40.119
 and have

00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:40.480
 you send

00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:40.619
 me

00:30:40.619 --> 00:30:40.879
 on my

00:30:40.879 --> 00:30:41.039
 way

00:30:41.039 --> 00:30:41.159
 to

00:30:41.159 --> 00:30:41.579
 Judea

00:30:41.579 --> 00:30:41.980
 I know

00:30:41.980 --> 00:30:42.259
 that's

00:30:42.259 --> 00:30:42.619
 all this

00:30:42.619 --> 00:30:43.200
 back

00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:43.619
 and forward

00:30:43.619 --> 00:30:44.039
 stuff

00:30:44.039 --> 00:30:44.700
 here's

00:30:44.700 --> 00:30:45.059
 the thing

00:30:45.059 --> 00:30:45.939
 was I

00:30:45.939 --> 00:30:46.619
 vacillating

00:30:46.619 --> 00:30:46.899
 when I

00:30:46.899 --> 00:30:47.119
 wanted

00:30:47.119 --> 00:30:47.439
 to do

00:30:47.439 --> 00:30:47.740
 this

00:30:47.740 --> 00:30:48.200
 do I

00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:48.419
 make

00:30:48.419 --> 00:30:48.619
 my

00:30:48.619 --> 00:30:49.039
 plans

00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:49.379
 according

00:30:49.379 --> 00:30:49.559
 to

00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:49.720
 the

00:30:49.720 --> 00:30:50.139
 flesh

00:30:50.139 --> 00:30:50.659
 ready

00:30:50.659 --> 00:30:50.859
 to

00:30:50.859 --> 00:30:51.059
 say

00:30:51.059 --> 00:30:51.460
 yes

00:30:51.460 --> 00:30:51.879
 yes

00:30:51.879 --> 00:30:52.240
 and

00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:52.919
 no

00:30:52.919 --> 00:30:53.319
 no

00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:54.439
 you know

00:30:54.439 --> 00:30:54.819
 at the

00:30:54.819 --> 00:30:55.019
 same

00:30:55.019 --> 00:30:55.259
 time

00:30:55.259 --> 00:30:55.480
 in other

00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:55.659
 words

00:30:55.659 --> 00:30:56.299
 is he

00:30:56.299 --> 00:30:56.960
 actually

00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:58.119
 you know

00:30:58.119 --> 00:30:58.419
 is he

00:30:58.419 --> 00:30:58.759
 a guy

00:30:58.759 --> 00:30:59.099
 that's

00:30:59.099 --> 00:30:59.259
 yeah

00:30:59.259 --> 00:30:59.379
 yeah

00:30:59.379 --> 00:30:59.599
 I want

00:30:59.599 --> 00:30:59.779
 to do

00:30:59.779 --> 00:30:59.980
 this

00:30:59.980 --> 00:31:00.139
 but

00:31:00.139 --> 00:31:00.379
 really

00:31:00.379 --> 00:31:00.639
 I'm

00:31:00.639 --> 00:31:00.899
 trying

00:31:00.899 --> 00:31:01.099
 to do

00:31:01.099 --> 00:31:01.319
 this

00:31:01.319 --> 00:31:01.480
 I'm

00:31:01.480 --> 00:31:01.599
 trying

00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:01.799
 to do

00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:02.000
 that

00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:18.419
 actually

00:31:18.419 --> 00:31:18.819
 before I

00:31:18.819 --> 00:31:19.220
 read these

00:31:19.220 --> 00:31:19.799
 next three

00:31:19.799 --> 00:31:20.220
 verses

00:31:20.220 --> 00:31:21.359
 could you

00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:21.659
 put them

00:31:21.659 --> 00:31:21.919
 up on

00:31:21.919 --> 00:31:22.319
 the screen

00:31:22.319 --> 00:31:22.720
 please

00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:24.279
 could you

00:31:24.279 --> 00:31:24.659
 all say

00:31:24.659 --> 00:31:25.139
 this with

00:31:25.139 --> 00:31:25.379
 me

00:31:25.379 --> 00:31:26.619
 because

00:31:26.619 --> 00:31:27.019
 this is

00:31:27.019 --> 00:31:27.359
 the heart

00:31:27.359 --> 00:31:27.559
 of the

00:31:27.559 --> 00:31:28.139
 passage

00:31:28.139 --> 00:31:30.000
 this is

00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:30.319
 the heart

00:31:30.319 --> 00:31:30.519
 of the

00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:31.019
 passage

00:31:31.019 --> 00:31:32.359
 these are

00:31:32.359 --> 00:31:32.679
 good

00:31:32.679 --> 00:31:33.059
 verses

00:31:33.059 --> 00:31:33.399
 to

00:31:33.399 --> 00:31:33.779
 memorize

00:31:33.779 --> 00:31:36.299
 and we're

00:31:36.299 --> 00:31:36.460
 going to

00:31:36.460 --> 00:31:36.759
 say them

00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:37.099
 out loud

00:31:37.099 --> 00:31:37.460
 several

00:31:37.460 --> 00:31:37.919
 times

00:31:37.919 --> 00:31:38.240
 together

00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:38.480
 I was

00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:38.639
 going to

00:31:38.639 --> 00:31:38.839
 try to

00:31:38.839 --> 00:31:39.079
 give you

00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:39.399
 points

00:31:39.399 --> 00:31:39.639
 but I

00:31:39.639 --> 00:31:39.980
 have no

00:31:39.980 --> 00:31:40.299
 points

00:31:40.299 --> 00:31:40.519
 better

00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:40.779
 than this

00:31:40.779 --> 00:31:41.119
 why can

00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:41.220
 I

00:31:41.220 --> 00:31:41.720
 how can

00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:41.819
 I

00:31:41.819 --> 00:31:42.199
 adorn

00:31:42.199 --> 00:31:42.679
 God's

00:31:42.679 --> 00:31:42.919
 word

00:31:42.919 --> 00:31:43.179
 better

00:31:43.179 --> 00:31:43.359
 than

00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:43.699
 God's

00:31:43.699 --> 00:31:43.859
 own

00:31:43.859 --> 00:31:44.220
 word

00:31:44.220 --> 00:31:45.139
 has to

00:31:45.139 --> 00:31:45.240
 be

00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:45.439
 read

00:31:45.439 --> 00:31:46.019
 slowly

00:31:46.019 --> 00:31:46.959
 to try

00:31:46.959 --> 00:31:47.259
 to get

00:31:47.259 --> 00:31:47.439
 it in

00:31:47.439 --> 00:31:47.539
 the

00:31:47.539 --> 00:31:47.819
 different

00:31:47.819 --> 00:31:48.339
 steps

00:31:48.339 --> 00:31:49.179
 but this

00:31:49.179 --> 00:31:51.099
 is an

00:31:51.099 --> 00:31:51.959
 explanation

00:31:51.959 --> 00:31:53.000
 of God's

00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:53.379
 grace

00:31:53.379 --> 00:31:54.240
 and who

00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:54.759
 you are

00:31:54.759 --> 00:31:55.299
 and how

00:31:55.299 --> 00:31:55.699
 you become

00:31:55.699 --> 00:31:56.259
 a Christian

00:31:56.259 --> 00:31:57.059
 and how

00:31:57.059 --> 00:31:57.419
 you grow

00:31:57.419 --> 00:31:57.679
 as a

00:31:57.679 --> 00:31:57.980
 Christian

00:31:57.980 --> 00:31:58.299
 that's

00:31:58.299 --> 00:31:58.819
 dynamite

00:31:58.819 --> 00:31:59.419
 you should

00:31:59.419 --> 00:31:59.899
 memorize

00:31:59.899 --> 00:32:00.500
 this

00:32:00.500 --> 00:32:01.720
 and I've

00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:02.319
 only changed

00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:02.980
 two words

00:32:02.980 --> 00:32:03.299
 in it

00:32:03.299 --> 00:32:04.079
 in the

00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:04.359
 original

00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:04.779
 language

00:32:04.779 --> 00:32:05.240
 it keeps

00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:05.839
 saying him

00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:06.119
 and you

00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:06.480
 can lose

00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:06.779
 who the

00:32:06.779 --> 00:32:06.980
 him

00:32:08.839 --> 00:32:11.019
 have

00:32:11.019 --> 00:32:25.339
 taken out

00:32:25.339 --> 00:32:26.159
 and it

00:32:26.159 --> 00:32:26.879
 is God

00:32:26.879 --> 00:32:27.079
 who

00:32:27.079 --> 00:32:28.099
 establishes

00:32:28.099 --> 00:32:28.439
 us

00:32:28.439 --> 00:32:29.079
 with you

00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:29.819
 in Christ

00:32:29.819 --> 00:32:31.019
 and has

00:32:31.019 --> 00:32:31.579
 anointed

00:32:31.579 --> 00:32:32.139
 us

00:32:32.139 --> 00:32:33.000
 and who

00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:33.619
 has also

00:32:33.619 --> 00:32:34.399
 put his

00:32:34.399 --> 00:32:35.199
 seal on

00:32:35.199 --> 00:32:35.699
 us

00:32:35.699 --> 00:32:36.679
 and given

00:32:36.679 --> 00:32:37.339
 us his

00:32:37.339 --> 00:32:37.799
 spirit

00:32:37.799 --> 00:32:38.399
 in our

00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:38.920
 hearts

00:32:38.920 --> 00:32:39.620
 as a

00:32:39.620 --> 00:32:40.080
 guarantee

00:32:40.080 --> 00:32:41.360
 it's a

00:32:41.360 --> 00:32:41.820
 very very

00:32:41.820 --> 00:32:42.380
 powerful

00:32:42.380 --> 00:32:42.920
 text

00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:43.840
 so what's

00:32:43.840 --> 00:32:44.220
 the text

00:32:44.220 --> 00:32:44.500
 saying

00:32:44.500 --> 00:32:44.900
 remember I

00:32:44.900 --> 00:32:45.259
 was saying

00:32:45.259 --> 00:32:45.519
 at the

00:32:45.519 --> 00:32:45.759
 beginning

00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:46.480
 that as

00:32:46.480 --> 00:32:46.700
 you get

00:32:46.700 --> 00:32:47.280
 closer to

00:32:47.280 --> 00:32:47.580
 Jesus

00:32:47.580 --> 00:32:47.860
 there's

00:32:47.860 --> 00:32:48.040
 going to

00:32:48.040 --> 00:32:48.640
 be simple

00:32:48.640 --> 00:32:49.440
 transparent

00:32:49.440 --> 00:32:51.140
 what Paul

00:32:51.140 --> 00:32:51.660
 is saying

00:32:51.660 --> 00:32:52.600
 is that

00:32:52.600 --> 00:32:53.120
 God is

00:32:53.120 --> 00:32:54.540
 simple

00:32:54.540 --> 00:32:55.400
 and transparent

00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:55.820
 in fact

00:32:55.820 --> 00:32:56.360
 the problem

00:32:56.360 --> 00:32:56.840
 for human

00:32:56.840 --> 00:32:57.220
 beings

00:32:57.220 --> 00:32:57.560
 is that

00:32:57.560 --> 00:32:57.880
 God is

00:32:57.880 --> 00:32:58.519
 too simple

00:32:58.519 --> 00:32:58.960
 for us

00:32:58.960 --> 00:32:59.740
 to understand

00:32:59.740 --> 00:33:02.800
 we are

00:33:02.800 --> 00:33:04.560
 we are

00:33:04.560 --> 00:33:05.600
 my mind

00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:06.240
 is not

00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:06.659
 just a

00:33:06.659 --> 00:33:06.980
 singular

00:33:06.980 --> 00:33:07.439
 mind

00:33:07.439 --> 00:33:08.199
 my mind

00:33:08.199 --> 00:33:09.119
 is 15

00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:10.039
 hummingbirds

00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:11.199
 all

00:33:11.199 --> 00:33:12.019
 overdosing

00:33:12.019 --> 00:33:12.639
 on Red

00:33:12.639 --> 00:33:12.879
 Bull

00:33:12.879 --> 00:33:15.099
 and if

00:33:15.099 --> 00:33:15.839
 my mind

00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:16.919
 is 15

00:33:16.919 --> 00:33:17.799
 hummingbirds

00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:18.559
 overdosing

00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:19.119
 on Red

00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:19.279
 Bull

00:33:19.279 --> 00:33:19.879
 how can I

00:33:19.879 --> 00:33:20.399
 understand

00:33:20.399 --> 00:33:21.099
 the simplicity

00:33:21.099 --> 00:33:22.000
 and faithfulness

00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:22.639
 and consistency

00:33:22.639 --> 00:33:23.359
 of God

00:33:23.359 --> 00:33:27.759
 and the

00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:28.539
 whole point

00:33:28.539 --> 00:33:29.179
 about the

00:33:29.179 --> 00:33:29.539
 Christian

00:33:29.539 --> 00:33:29.899
 revelation

00:33:29.899 --> 00:33:30.579
 is that

00:33:30.579 --> 00:33:30.919
 it's a

00:33:30.919 --> 00:33:31.439
 public

00:33:31.439 --> 00:33:32.019
 open

00:33:32.019 --> 00:33:32.619
 revelation

00:33:32.619 --> 00:33:34.119
 God

00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:34.539
 doesn't

00:33:34.539 --> 00:33:35.039
 call

00:33:35.039 --> 00:33:35.559
 the

00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:36.299
 illuminati

00:33:36.299 --> 00:33:37.419
 the

00:33:37.419 --> 00:33:38.019
 special

00:33:38.019 --> 00:33:38.559
 anointed

00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:39.219
 ones

00:33:39.219 --> 00:33:39.939
 who know

00:33:39.939 --> 00:33:40.119
 the

00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:40.639
 decoder

00:33:40.639 --> 00:33:41.099
 key

00:33:41.099 --> 00:33:41.799
 to

00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:42.239
 interpret

00:33:42.239 --> 00:33:42.500
 the

00:33:42.500 --> 00:33:42.859
 Bible

00:33:42.859 --> 00:33:44.379
 God's

00:33:44.379 --> 00:33:44.539
 word

00:33:44.539 --> 00:33:44.719
 is

00:33:44.719 --> 00:33:45.079
 open

00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:45.339
 it's

00:33:45.339 --> 00:33:45.939
 transparent

00:33:45.939 --> 00:33:46.239
 it's

00:33:46.239 --> 00:33:46.619
 public

00:33:46.619 --> 00:33:47.079
 it's

00:33:47.079 --> 00:33:47.239
 a

00:33:47.239 --> 00:33:47.679
 public

00:33:47.679 --> 00:33:49.199
 revelation

00:33:49.199 --> 00:33:51.079
 anyone

00:33:51.079 --> 00:33:51.659
 who has

00:33:51.659 --> 00:33:52.019
 ears

00:33:52.019 --> 00:33:52.539
 to hear

00:33:52.539 --> 00:33:52.839
 anyone

00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:53.359
 who has

00:33:53.359 --> 00:33:53.799
 eyes

00:33:53.799 --> 00:33:54.339
 to read

00:33:54.339 --> 00:33:54.899
 can hear

00:33:54.899 --> 00:33:55.039
 and

00:33:55.039 --> 00:33:55.519
 understand

00:33:55.519 --> 00:33:55.819
 it's

00:33:55.819 --> 00:33:56.059
 to be

00:33:56.059 --> 00:33:56.299
 read

00:33:56.299 --> 00:33:56.479
 and

00:33:56.479 --> 00:33:56.899
 proclaimed

00:33:56.899 --> 00:33:57.459
 openly

00:33:57.459 --> 00:33:57.879
 in the

00:33:57.879 --> 00:33:58.259
 church

00:33:58.259 --> 00:33:59.019
 it's

00:33:59.019 --> 00:33:59.279
 to be

00:33:59.279 --> 00:33:59.599
 studied

00:33:59.599 --> 00:33:59.839
 from

00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:00.159
 cover

00:34:00.159 --> 00:34:00.339
 to

00:34:00.339 --> 00:34:00.579
 cover

00:34:00.579 --> 00:34:00.919
 in our

00:34:00.919 --> 00:34:01.239
 Bible

00:34:01.239 --> 00:34:01.759
 studies

00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:02.700
 and so

00:34:02.700 --> 00:34:03.160
 what the

00:34:03.160 --> 00:34:03.420
 Bible

00:34:03.420 --> 00:34:03.879
 here is

00:34:03.879 --> 00:34:04.119
 telling

00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:04.359
 us

00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:04.700
 is that

00:34:04.700 --> 00:34:04.980
 God

00:34:04.980 --> 00:34:05.180
 has

00:34:05.180 --> 00:34:05.400
 made

00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:06.000
 promises

00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:06.839
 notice

00:34:06.839 --> 00:34:07.259
 this is

00:34:07.259 --> 00:34:07.440
 how

00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:07.900
 Christianity

00:34:07.900 --> 00:34:08.360
 is so

00:34:08.360 --> 00:34:08.739
 different

00:34:08.739 --> 00:34:08.980
 than

00:34:08.980 --> 00:34:09.420
 Buddhism

00:34:09.420 --> 00:34:10.340
 Buddhism

00:34:10.340 --> 00:34:10.900
 is very

00:34:10.900 --> 00:34:11.480
 popular

00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:11.760
 on

00:34:11.760 --> 00:34:12.280
 university

00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:12.940
 campuses

00:34:12.940 --> 00:34:13.619
 and in

00:34:13.619 --> 00:34:14.099
 secular

00:34:14.099 --> 00:34:14.539
 culture

00:34:14.539 --> 00:34:15.019
 and part

00:34:15.019 --> 00:34:15.260
 of it

00:34:15.260 --> 00:34:15.780
 is because

00:34:15.780 --> 00:34:16.119
 of our

00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:16.679
 profound

00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:17.320
 cultural

00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:17.940
 despair

00:34:17.940 --> 00:34:18.860
 and cynicism

00:34:18.860 --> 00:34:19.860
 that anybody

00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:20.440
 will ever

00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:21.000
 keep their

00:34:21.000 --> 00:34:21.559
 promise

00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:22.440
 nobody

00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:23.079
 believes

00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:23.300
 their

00:34:23.300 --> 00:34:23.840
 employers

00:34:23.840 --> 00:34:24.380
 will keep

00:34:24.380 --> 00:34:24.599
 their

00:34:24.599 --> 00:34:25.000
 promises

00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:26.019
 so many

00:34:26.019 --> 00:34:26.440
 of us

00:34:26.440 --> 00:34:26.940
 are either

00:34:26.940 --> 00:34:27.559
 have had

00:34:27.559 --> 00:34:28.119
 divorces

00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:28.699
 and products

00:34:28.699 --> 00:34:29.420
 of divorces

00:34:29.420 --> 00:34:30.219
 and breakups

00:34:30.219 --> 00:34:31.440
 and separations

00:34:31.440 --> 00:34:32.200
 from family

00:34:32.200 --> 00:34:32.579
 members

00:34:32.579 --> 00:34:33.079
 and we

00:34:33.079 --> 00:34:33.519
 don't think

00:34:33.519 --> 00:34:34.059
 things hold

00:34:34.059 --> 00:34:34.380
 together

00:34:34.380 --> 00:34:34.960
 we don't think

00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:35.500
 people keep

00:34:35.500 --> 00:34:36.139
 their promises

00:34:36.139 --> 00:34:36.700
 and there's a

00:34:36.700 --> 00:34:37.820
 profound cynicism

00:34:37.820 --> 00:34:38.760
 and so this

00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:39.740
 message that

00:34:39.740 --> 00:34:40.179
 Buddhism

00:34:40.179 --> 00:34:41.079
 that what we

00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:41.519
 have to do

00:34:41.519 --> 00:34:42.159
 is to kill

00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:43.360
 all desire

00:34:43.360 --> 00:34:46.460
 is very

00:34:46.460 --> 00:34:47.059
 powerful

00:34:47.059 --> 00:34:47.559
 and speaks

00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:48.280
 very differently

00:34:48.280 --> 00:34:48.820
 but you know

00:34:48.820 --> 00:34:49.900
 underneath this

00:34:49.900 --> 00:34:50.960
 fear that no one

00:34:50.960 --> 00:34:51.460
 keeps their

00:34:51.460 --> 00:34:51.920
 promises

00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:53.000
 is a desire

00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:54.460
 that people

00:34:54.460 --> 00:34:54.880
 will keep

00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:55.559
 their promises

00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:57.099
 there's a

00:34:57.099 --> 00:34:58.220
 sense when you

00:34:58.220 --> 00:34:58.720
 go out on a

00:34:58.720 --> 00:34:59.240
 really really

00:34:59.240 --> 00:34:59.960
 really beautiful

00:34:59.960 --> 00:35:00.240
 day

00:35:00.239 --> 00:35:00.739
 some of the

00:35:00.739 --> 00:35:01.359
 beautiful days

00:35:01.359 --> 00:35:01.719
 we've had

00:35:01.719 --> 00:35:02.239
 this last

00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:02.599
 few days

00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:02.979
 I've kept

00:35:02.979 --> 00:35:03.359
 going out

00:35:03.359 --> 00:35:04.099
 outside

00:35:04.099 --> 00:35:04.939
 and thinking

00:35:04.939 --> 00:35:06.139
 gosh God

00:35:06.139 --> 00:35:06.739
 you are so

00:35:06.739 --> 00:35:07.199
 good

00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:08.659
 this is such

00:35:08.659 --> 00:35:09.159
 a beautiful

00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:09.419
 day

00:35:09.419 --> 00:35:09.979
 you are so

00:35:09.979 --> 00:35:10.959
 kind to us

00:35:10.959 --> 00:35:11.919
 and somewhere

00:35:11.919 --> 00:35:12.659
 in all of

00:35:12.659 --> 00:35:13.279
 our souls

00:35:13.279 --> 00:35:14.199
 there is a

00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:14.859
 sense or

00:35:14.859 --> 00:35:15.259
 longing

00:35:15.259 --> 00:35:15.679
 no matter

00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:16.059
 if we're

00:35:16.059 --> 00:35:16.619
 an atheist

00:35:16.619 --> 00:35:17.419
 or an agnostic

00:35:17.419 --> 00:35:18.000
 or a Buddhist

00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:18.539
 or a Hindu

00:35:18.539 --> 00:35:19.119
 or a Muslim

00:35:19.119 --> 00:35:20.159
 some sense

00:35:20.159 --> 00:35:21.099
 that such

00:35:21.099 --> 00:35:21.739
 a beautiful

00:35:21.739 --> 00:35:22.339
 day

00:35:22.339 --> 00:35:23.659
 such a

00:35:23.659 --> 00:35:24.119
 glorious

00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:24.799
 day

00:35:24.799 --> 00:35:25.839
 a day

00:35:25.839 --> 00:35:26.319
 when maybe

00:35:26.319 --> 00:35:26.959
 our bodies

00:35:26.959 --> 00:35:27.539
 are feeling

00:35:27.539 --> 00:35:28.379
 really good

00:35:28.380 --> 00:35:29.619
 and we've

00:35:29.619 --> 00:35:30.180
 been properly

00:35:30.180 --> 00:35:30.860
 caffeinated

00:35:30.860 --> 00:35:31.519
 and properly

00:35:31.519 --> 00:35:31.980
 fed

00:35:31.980 --> 00:35:32.420
 and there's

00:35:32.420 --> 00:35:33.099
 some sense

00:35:33.099 --> 00:35:33.460
 that the

00:35:33.460 --> 00:35:34.140
 world is a

00:35:34.140 --> 00:35:34.660
 world of

00:35:34.660 --> 00:35:35.240
 promise

00:35:35.240 --> 00:35:37.400
 that promises

00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:38.079
 are real

00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:39.800
 that they're

00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:40.700
 not just us

00:35:40.700 --> 00:35:41.420
 projecting them

00:35:41.420 --> 00:35:41.680
 on the

00:35:41.680 --> 00:35:42.280
 created order

00:35:42.280 --> 00:35:42.760
 but it's

00:35:42.760 --> 00:35:43.559
 some hint

00:35:43.559 --> 00:35:44.480
 that we are

00:35:44.480 --> 00:35:45.099
 getting in

00:35:45.099 --> 00:35:45.579
 our minds

00:35:45.579 --> 00:35:46.160
 and our hearts

00:35:46.160 --> 00:35:46.860
 and our souls

00:35:46.860 --> 00:35:48.039
 that there is

00:35:48.039 --> 00:35:48.640
 a creator

00:35:48.640 --> 00:35:50.920
 there is one

00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:51.660
 we can know

00:35:51.660 --> 00:35:53.079
 that there is

00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:53.740
 some type of

00:35:53.740 --> 00:35:54.320
 promise

00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:55.200
 of even

00:35:55.200 --> 00:35:55.660
 greater

00:35:55.660 --> 00:35:57.059
 and even

00:35:57.059 --> 00:35:57.480
 more

00:35:57.480 --> 00:35:59.440
 there are

00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:00.659
 some hints

00:36:00.659 --> 00:36:01.360
 in our

00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:01.920
 longings

00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:02.539
 and yearnings

00:36:02.539 --> 00:36:04.559
 that there

00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:05.260
 is something

00:36:05.260 --> 00:36:05.760
 greater

00:36:05.760 --> 00:36:06.300
 that our

00:36:06.300 --> 00:36:06.719
 longings

00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:07.219
 and yearnings

00:36:07.219 --> 00:36:07.820
 fit with

00:36:07.820 --> 00:36:08.900
 and the

00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:09.480
 Bible is

00:36:09.480 --> 00:36:09.880
 saying that

00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:10.960
 whatever promises

00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:11.679
 that we have

00:36:11.679 --> 00:36:12.420
 this sense

00:36:12.420 --> 00:36:12.960
 it's saying

00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:13.880
 the Bible is

00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:14.500
 not saying

00:36:14.500 --> 00:36:15.719
 kill all

00:36:15.719 --> 00:36:16.599
 desires for

00:36:16.599 --> 00:36:17.039
 promises

00:36:17.039 --> 00:36:17.679
 it's saying

00:36:17.679 --> 00:36:18.960
 follow this

00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:19.800
 desire for

00:36:19.800 --> 00:36:20.360
 promises

00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:20.780
 one of the

00:36:20.780 --> 00:36:21.059
 things that

00:36:21.059 --> 00:36:21.400
 can help

00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:21.599
 you in

00:36:21.599 --> 00:36:22.760
 evangelism

00:36:22.760 --> 00:36:24.480
 and one of

00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:24.659
 the things

00:36:24.659 --> 00:36:24.940
 that's so

00:36:24.940 --> 00:36:25.400
 scary about

00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:25.960
 evangelism

00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:26.380
 is the word

00:36:26.380 --> 00:36:26.960
 evangelism

00:36:26.960 --> 00:36:27.320
 get rid of

00:36:27.320 --> 00:36:27.539
 the word

00:36:27.539 --> 00:36:28.099
 evangelism

00:36:28.099 --> 00:36:28.559
 just think

00:36:28.559 --> 00:36:29.099
 bearing witness

00:36:29.099 --> 00:36:29.639
 to Jesus

00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:30.599
 and one of

00:36:30.599 --> 00:36:30.900
 the things

00:36:30.900 --> 00:36:31.220
 which is

00:36:31.220 --> 00:36:31.860
 very interesting

00:36:31.860 --> 00:36:32.460
 is every

00:36:32.460 --> 00:36:33.240
 person has

00:36:33.240 --> 00:36:34.159
 some sense

00:36:34.159 --> 00:36:34.980
 that there's

00:36:34.980 --> 00:36:35.780
 some promises

00:36:35.780 --> 00:36:36.559
 some great

00:36:36.559 --> 00:36:36.920
 hope

00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:37.480
 some great

00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:37.940
 longing

00:36:37.940 --> 00:36:39.619
 and they

00:36:39.619 --> 00:36:40.079
 might not be

00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:40.340
 able to

00:36:40.340 --> 00:36:41.019
 articulate it

00:36:41.019 --> 00:36:41.179
 and they

00:36:41.179 --> 00:36:41.519
 won't put it

00:36:41.519 --> 00:36:41.960
 in Christian

00:36:41.960 --> 00:36:42.420
 terms

00:36:42.420 --> 00:36:43.019
 but at the

00:36:43.019 --> 00:36:43.300
 end of the

00:36:43.300 --> 00:36:43.460
 day

00:36:43.460 --> 00:36:44.460
 all longings

00:36:44.460 --> 00:36:45.220
 all yearnings

00:36:45.220 --> 00:36:45.760
 are connected

00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:46.460
 all true

00:36:46.460 --> 00:36:47.079
 longings

00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:47.599
 and yearnings

00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:48.360
 all true

00:36:48.360 --> 00:36:49.039
 hopes

00:36:49.039 --> 00:36:51.360
 all true

00:36:51.360 --> 00:36:51.760
 hopes

00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:52.240
 find their

00:36:52.240 --> 00:36:52.699
 yes in

00:36:52.699 --> 00:36:53.179
 Jesus

00:36:53.179 --> 00:36:55.199
 everyone

00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:59.599
 say this

00:36:59.599 --> 00:36:59.939
 with me

00:36:59.939 --> 00:37:00.179
 again

00:37:00.179 --> 00:37:01.379
 for all

00:37:01.379 --> 00:37:02.119
 the promises

00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:02.859
 of God

00:37:02.859 --> 00:37:03.559
 find their

00:37:03.559 --> 00:37:04.319
 yes in

00:37:04.319 --> 00:37:04.759
 Jesus

00:37:04.759 --> 00:37:06.039
 that is

00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:06.699
 why it

00:37:06.699 --> 00:37:07.179
 is through

00:37:07.179 --> 00:37:07.759
 Jesus

00:37:07.759 --> 00:37:08.539
 that we

00:37:08.539 --> 00:37:09.239
 utter our

00:37:09.239 --> 00:37:09.980
 amen to

00:37:09.980 --> 00:37:10.379
 God

00:37:10.379 --> 00:37:11.179
 for his

00:37:11.179 --> 00:37:11.639
 glory

00:37:11.639 --> 00:37:12.619
 and it

00:37:12.619 --> 00:37:13.299
 is God

00:37:13.299 --> 00:37:13.480
 who

00:37:13.480 --> 00:37:14.419
 establishes

00:37:14.419 --> 00:37:14.759
 us

00:37:14.759 --> 00:37:15.339
 with you

00:37:15.339 --> 00:37:16.099
 in Christ

00:37:16.099 --> 00:37:17.099
 and has

00:37:17.099 --> 00:37:17.579
 anointed

00:37:17.579 --> 00:37:18.179
 us

00:37:18.179 --> 00:37:18.919
 and who

00:37:18.919 --> 00:37:19.480
 has also

00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:20.139
 put his

00:37:20.139 --> 00:37:20.879
 seal on

00:37:20.879 --> 00:37:21.279
 us

00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:22.080
 and given

00:37:22.080 --> 00:37:22.680
 us his

00:37:22.680 --> 00:37:23.140
 spirit

00:37:23.140 --> 00:37:23.720
 in our

00:37:23.720 --> 00:37:24.180
 hearts

00:37:24.180 --> 00:37:24.680
 as a

00:37:24.680 --> 00:37:25.160
 guarantee

00:37:25.160 --> 00:37:26.240
 so the

00:37:26.240 --> 00:37:26.500
 Bible

00:37:26.500 --> 00:37:26.900
 is saying

00:37:26.900 --> 00:37:27.360
 that God

00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:28.040
 he's

00:37:28.040 --> 00:37:28.680
 transparent

00:37:28.680 --> 00:37:29.120
 about what

00:37:29.120 --> 00:37:29.300
 he's

00:37:29.300 --> 00:37:29.720
 promising

00:37:29.720 --> 00:37:30.580
 read Isaiah

00:37:30.580 --> 00:37:31.220
 52 and

00:37:31.220 --> 00:37:31.780
 53

00:37:31.780 --> 00:37:32.840
 you know

00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:33.220
 he was

00:37:33.220 --> 00:37:33.560
 bruised

00:37:33.560 --> 00:37:33.940
 for our

00:37:33.940 --> 00:37:34.340
 iniquities

00:37:34.340 --> 00:37:34.700
 he was

00:37:34.700 --> 00:37:35.260
 crushed

00:37:35.260 --> 00:37:36.600
 for us

00:37:36.600 --> 00:37:37.980
 the punishment

00:37:37.980 --> 00:37:38.480
 that brought

00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:39.480
 us peace

00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:40.100
 was laid

00:37:40.100 --> 00:37:40.480
 on him

00:37:40.480 --> 00:37:40.820
 that's

00:37:40.820 --> 00:37:41.400
 he kept

00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:41.880
 his word

00:37:41.880 --> 00:37:42.340
 and Jesus

00:37:42.340 --> 00:37:42.920
 died upon

00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:43.519
 the cross

00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:45.240
 it's

00:37:45.240 --> 00:37:45.660
 open

00:37:45.660 --> 00:37:46.340
 and the

00:37:46.340 --> 00:37:46.840
 promises

00:37:46.840 --> 00:37:47.660
 that are

00:37:47.660 --> 00:37:48.340
 that God

00:37:48.340 --> 00:37:48.700
 makes

00:37:48.700 --> 00:37:48.920
 they're

00:37:48.920 --> 00:37:49.140
 they're

00:37:49.140 --> 00:37:49.500
 open

00:37:49.500 --> 00:37:50.099
 and he

00:37:50.099 --> 00:37:50.500
 fulfills

00:37:50.500 --> 00:37:50.900
 every

00:37:50.900 --> 00:37:51.239
 single

00:37:51.239 --> 00:37:51.500
 one of

00:37:51.500 --> 00:37:51.619
 them

00:37:51.619 --> 00:37:51.820
 to

00:37:51.820 --> 00:37:52.239
 Jesus

00:37:52.239 --> 00:37:53.280
 and

00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:54.099
 what

00:37:54.099 --> 00:37:54.260
 is

00:37:54.260 --> 00:37:54.420
 the

00:37:54.420 --> 00:37:54.880
 gospel

00:37:54.880 --> 00:37:55.940
 the

00:37:55.940 --> 00:37:56.440
 gospel

00:37:56.440 --> 00:37:56.780
 is

00:37:56.780 --> 00:37:56.960
 the

00:37:56.960 --> 00:37:57.420
 promise

00:37:57.420 --> 00:37:57.679
 that

00:37:57.679 --> 00:37:58.539
 that

00:37:58.539 --> 00:37:58.760
 you know

00:37:58.760 --> 00:37:58.920
 the

00:37:58.920 --> 00:37:59.440
 gospel

00:37:59.440 --> 00:37:59.599
 is

00:37:59.599 --> 00:37:59.719
 that

00:37:59.719 --> 00:37:59.880
 God

00:37:59.880 --> 00:38:00.039
 has

00:38:00.039 --> 00:38:00.219
 made

00:38:00.219 --> 00:38:00.460
 this

00:38:00.460 --> 00:38:00.980
 promise

00:38:00.980 --> 00:38:01.380
 he

00:38:01.380 --> 00:38:01.719
 said

00:38:01.719 --> 00:38:01.860
 the

00:38:01.860 --> 00:38:02.260
 promise

00:38:02.260 --> 00:38:02.460
 is

00:38:02.460 --> 00:38:02.639
 I

00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:03.000
 know

00:38:03.000 --> 00:38:03.219
 that

00:38:03.219 --> 00:38:03.340
 you

00:38:03.340 --> 00:38:03.679
 cannot

00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:04.159
 save

00:38:04.159 --> 00:38:04.500
 yourself

00:38:04.500 --> 00:38:04.739
 I

00:38:04.739 --> 00:38:05.000
 know

00:38:05.000 --> 00:38:05.219
 that

00:38:05.219 --> 00:38:05.320
 you

00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:05.480
 want

00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:05.599
 to

00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:05.840
 hide

00:38:05.840 --> 00:38:06.099
 from

00:38:06.099 --> 00:38:06.280
 me

00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:06.739
 I

 know

00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:07.280
 that

00:38:07.280 --> 00:38:07.440
 your

00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:07.820
 motives

00:38:07.820 --> 00:38:08.019
 are

00:38:08.019 --> 00:38:08.599
 impure

 chaotic

 your

00:38:11.280 --> 00:38:11.679
 mind

00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:11.880
 is

00:38:11.880 --> 00:38:12.079
 really

 not

 singular

00:38:12.759 --> 00:38:13.159
 mind

 we're

00:41:59.059 --> 00:42:02.680
 well

00:42:02.680 --> 00:42:02.900
 then

00:42:02.900 --> 00:42:03.639
 it

00:42:03.639 --> 00:42:03.900
 starts

00:42:03.900 --> 00:42:04.019
 to

00:42:04.019 --> 00:42:04.220
 become

 more

 sensitive

00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:05.200
 motives

 good

 pure

 Holy

00:42:10.900 --> 00:42:11.400
 Spirit

00:42:11.400 --> 00:42:11.660
 that

00:42:11.660 --> 00:42:11.820
 the

 has

00:42:12.180 --> 00:42:12.420
 given

00:42:12.420 --> 00:42:12.599
 us

00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:12.860
 starts

00:42:12.860 --> 00:42:13.059
 to

00:42:13.059 --> 00:42:13.400
 not

00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:13.599
 just

00:42:13.599 --> 00:42:14.880
 convict

00:42:14.880 --> 00:42:15.039
 us

00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:15.180
 that

00:42:15.180 --> 00:42:15.320
 you

00:42:15.320 --> 00:42:15.400
 know

00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:15.559
 what

00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:15.760
 I

00:42:15.760 --> 00:42:16.300
 shouldn't

00:42:16.300 --> 00:42:16.460
 be

00:42:16.460 --> 00:42:16.780
 treating

00:42:16.780 --> 00:42:17.280
 that

00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:17.660
 person

00:42:17.660 --> 00:42:17.840
 with

00:42:17.840 --> 00:42:18.039
 these

00:42:18.039 --> 00:42:18.320
 mixed

00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:18.639
 motives

00:42:18.639 --> 00:42:19.700
 that's

00:42:19.700 --> 00:42:20.039
 wrong

00:42:20.039 --> 00:42:21.960
 it

00:42:21.960 --> 00:42:22.860
 flows

00:42:22.860 --> 00:42:23.160
 from

00:42:23.160 --> 00:42:23.660
 grace

00:42:23.660 --> 00:42:24.200
 it

00:42:24.200 --> 00:42:24.539
 flows

00:42:24.539 --> 00:42:24.760
 from

00:42:24.760 --> 00:42:24.960
 being

00:42:24.960 --> 00:42:25.200
 gripped

00:42:25.200 --> 00:42:25.360
 by

 the

00:42:25.500 --> 00:42:25.960
 gospel

00:42:25.960 --> 00:42:27.980
 I'd

00:42:27.980 --> 00:42:28.059
 like

00:42:28.059 --> 00:42:28.179
 to

00:42:28.179 --> 00:42:28.340
 put

00:42:28.340 --> 00:42:28.519
 up

00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:28.739

 we

00:44:34.940 --> 00:44:35.259
 think

00:44:35.259 --> 00:44:35.400
 that

00:44:35.400 --> 00:44:35.519
 we

00:44:35.519 --> 00:44:35.719
 have

00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:37.880
 it

00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:38.079

00:44:38.079 --> 00:44:38.599
 terrible

00:44:38.599 --> 00:44:39.320
 to

 confess

 deceive

00:45:21.579 --> 00:45:22.280
 ourselves

00:45:30.659 --> 00:45:30.840
 and

00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:30.980
 then

00:45:30.980 --> 00:45:31.239
 grow

00:45:31.239 --> 00:45:31.400
 in
