00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.560
 Good morning, guys. It's a joy to worship with you all.

00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:08.640
 Please turn in your Bibles to Ecclesiastes chapter 5.

00:00:09.220 --> 00:00:11.019
 For those of you who don't know me, my name is Sean,

00:00:11.200 --> 00:00:14.040
 and I am one of the pastors of Trinity Campus Church.

00:00:15.140 --> 00:00:19.400
 And it is my great joy and privilege to preach God's Word to you this morning.

00:00:19.399 --> 00:00:49.379
 Thank you.

00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:51.399
 Thank you.

00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:11.200
 Heavenly Father, we do what the world might consider odd once again.

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:16.140
 We come to listen to your Word,

00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:22.640
 written so many years ago, but timeless.

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:30.900
 The Word of God that makes people wise unto salvation in Jesus Christ.

00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:38.900
 So, Lord, we incline our years,

00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.740
 and we humble our hearts before your Word.

00:01:43.739 --> 00:01:45.739
 Speak to us.

00:01:45.739 --> 00:01:46.839
 Speak to us.

00:01:47.739 --> 00:01:51.619
 Make your presence known,

00:01:51.819 --> 00:01:53.899
 your authority known,

00:01:54.739 --> 00:01:56.560
 your glory known,

00:01:56.739 --> 00:01:59.780
 in the reading and preaching of your Word,

00:02:00.739 --> 00:02:04.000
 so that we might be filled with

00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:06.659
 a holy fear of God,

00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.599
 reverence and awe before you.

00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:21.199
 So we might stand in wonder at the grace you have shown us in Jesus Christ.

00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:29.060
 Meet with us now in Jesus' name we pray.

00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:29.939
 Amen.

00:02:29.939 --> 00:02:30.079
 Amen.

00:02:31.939 --> 00:02:33.680
 Please stand, if you are able,

00:02:33.780 --> 00:02:35.859
 as we read God's Word.

00:02:38.359 --> 00:02:40.099
 Ecclesiastes 5, 1 through 7,

00:02:40.099 --> 00:02:41.500
 and I will read it out loud for us.

00:02:44.780 --> 00:02:47.719
 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God.

00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:51.759
 To draw near to listen is better

00:02:51.759 --> 00:02:54.359
 than to offer the sacrifice of fools,

00:02:54.900 --> 00:02:57.900
 for they do not know that they are doing evil.

00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:01.780
 Be not rash with your mouth,

00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:04.560
 nor let your heart be hasty

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.219
 to utter a word before God.

00:03:06.219 --> 00:03:08.539
 For God is in heaven,

00:03:08.859 --> 00:03:10.180
 and you are on earth.

00:03:11.419 --> 00:03:13.639
 Therefore, let your words be few.

00:03:14.939 --> 00:03:18.000
 For a dream comes with much business,

00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:21.719
 and a fool's voice with many words.

00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:25.960
 When you vow a vow to God,

00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:27.579
 do not delay paying it,

00:03:28.079 --> 00:03:30.259
 for He has no pleasure in fools.

00:03:31.500 --> 00:03:32.740
 Pay what you vow.

00:03:33.539 --> 00:03:35.439
 It is better that you should not vow

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:37.479
 than that you should vow and not pay.

00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.300
 Let not your mouth lead you into sin,

00:03:41.740 --> 00:03:43.659
 and do not say before the messenger

00:03:43.659 --> 00:03:45.039
 that it was a mistake.

00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.520
 Why should God be angry at your voice

00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:50.259
 and destroy the work of your hands?

00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:53.319
 For when dreams increase

00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:54.740
 and words grow many,

00:03:55.219 --> 00:03:56.020
 there is vanity,

00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.419
 but God is the one you must fear.

00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:02.099
 This is God's holy and authoritative Word.

00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:02.620
 You may be seated.

00:04:02.620 --> 00:04:03.620
 Let's pray.

00:04:03.620 --> 00:04:04.620
 Let's pray.

00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:10.159
 About 3,500 years ago,

00:04:10.539 --> 00:04:13.400
 there were two men named Nadab and Abihu.

00:04:14.140 --> 00:04:16.560
 They were sons of Aaron, the high priest,

00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:17.519
 and as such,

00:04:17.620 --> 00:04:18.879
 they were prestigious members

00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:20.319
 of the priestly class

00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:21.699
 among God's people in Israel

00:04:21.699 --> 00:04:22.980
 with privileged access

00:04:22.980 --> 00:04:24.360
 into the tabernacle,

00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:27.379
 which is the dwelling place of God,

00:04:27.879 --> 00:04:29.720
 where the sacrifices were offered

00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:31.360
 and worship was given to God.

00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:32.879
 And one day,

00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:34.080
 it says that each of them

00:04:34.080 --> 00:04:35.439
 took his censer

00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:37.160
 and put fire in it

00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.080
 and laid incense on it

00:04:39.080 --> 00:04:42.220
 and then offered unauthorized fire

00:04:42.220 --> 00:04:43.100
 before the Lord,

00:04:43.900 --> 00:04:45.699
 which he had not commanded them.

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.259
 Judging from the prohibition

00:04:49.259 --> 00:04:50.560
 of drinking alcohol

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:52.240
 before entering the tabernacle

00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:54.520
 that issues forth from this event,

00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.199
 we can infer that Nadab and Abihu

00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:00.319
 were probably inebriated.

00:05:00.479 --> 00:05:01.560
 They were drunk.

00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:04.479
 And because of that,

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:07.419
 they didn't have the presence of mind,

00:05:07.500 --> 00:05:08.039
 the composure,

00:05:08.159 --> 00:05:08.839
 the self-control

00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.459
 to resist taking a strange

00:05:12.459 --> 00:05:13.699
 or foreign fire,

00:05:13.859 --> 00:05:15.180
 an unauthorized fire

00:05:15.180 --> 00:05:16.099
 into the tabernacle

00:05:16.099 --> 00:05:17.379
 to offer it before the Lord.

00:05:17.379 --> 00:05:20.079
 And in doing so,

00:05:20.139 --> 00:05:21.980
 they profaned the holiness of God.

00:05:22.459 --> 00:05:24.120
 They treated the Lord God

00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:25.540
 with casual contempt.

00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:27.899
 And because of that,

00:05:28.180 --> 00:05:28.579
 it says,

00:05:29.019 --> 00:05:30.279
 fire came out from before the Lord

00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:31.139
 and consumed them

00:05:31.139 --> 00:05:31.899
 so that they died.

00:05:32.300 --> 00:05:33.300
 Leviticus 10.2.

00:05:33.300 --> 00:05:37.439
 A few hundred years later,

00:05:38.379 --> 00:05:39.860
 Hophni and Phinehas came along.

00:05:40.420 --> 00:05:41.340
 They were sons of Eli,

00:05:42.259 --> 00:05:43.560
 again, the high priest.

00:05:44.939 --> 00:05:46.680
 Having grown up reading the story

00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:47.740
 of Nadab and Abihu

00:05:47.740 --> 00:05:51.759
 in their God-worshipping home,

00:05:52.500 --> 00:05:53.160
 you would expect

00:05:53.160 --> 00:05:53.879
 that they would know better.

00:05:54.740 --> 00:05:55.780
 But despite the fact

00:05:55.780 --> 00:05:56.680
 that they were priests,

00:05:56.960 --> 00:05:58.240
 1 Samuel 2.12 tells us

00:05:58.240 --> 00:05:59.860
 that they did not know the Lord.

00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:01.379
 When the people of God

00:06:01.379 --> 00:06:02.920
 would come to offer their offering,

00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:04.860
 and the meat would be being boiled,

00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:06.939
 about to be offered to God,

00:06:07.460 --> 00:06:08.600
 they would send their servants.

00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:09.220
 They would come

00:06:09.220 --> 00:06:11.699
 with their big forks

00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:13.180
 and dip it into the pot

00:06:13.180 --> 00:06:15.040
 and grab a big hunk of meat,

00:06:15.259 --> 00:06:16.500
 and they would march back home

00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:18.020
 to their places,

00:06:18.180 --> 00:06:18.640
 their rooms,

00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:19.420
 to eat it

00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:20.939
 while the offering

00:06:20.939 --> 00:06:21.879
 was being offered to God.

00:06:22.960 --> 00:06:23.360
 And then,

00:06:23.460 --> 00:06:24.400
 when the burnt offering

00:06:24.400 --> 00:06:24.900
 is being offered,

00:06:24.980 --> 00:06:25.560
 the sin offering

00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:26.960
 is being offered,

00:06:27.139 --> 00:06:28.060
 that offering was,

00:06:28.220 --> 00:06:29.300
 the fat of the offering

00:06:29.300 --> 00:06:30.560
 was to be burned completely

00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:31.340
 because God said

00:06:31.340 --> 00:06:32.500
 the fat belongs to the Lord.

00:06:33.500 --> 00:06:34.480
 But these guys,

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:35.500
 they liked their steak,

00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:36.520
 juicy and fatty,

00:06:36.740 --> 00:06:38.199
 so they would interrupt

00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:38.960
 the offering

00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:40.180
 and say,

00:06:40.460 --> 00:06:41.660
 we want raw meat

00:06:41.660 --> 00:06:44.020
 before you offer it to the Lord.

00:06:44.080 --> 00:06:45.040
 And they would take it

00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:46.340
 and eat it.

00:06:48.860 --> 00:06:49.800
 As a result,

00:06:50.360 --> 00:06:50.939
 it says that,

00:06:51.139 --> 00:06:51.860
 thus the sin,

00:06:51.980 --> 00:06:52.900
 1 Samuel 2.17,

00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:54.379
 thus the sin of the young men

00:06:54.379 --> 00:06:55.200
 was very great

00:06:55.200 --> 00:06:56.060
 in the sight of the Lord.

00:06:56.060 --> 00:06:57.399
 for the men treated

00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:58.620
 the offering of the Lord

00:06:58.620 --> 00:06:59.519
 with contempt.

00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:01.579
 As a result,

00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:03.480
 both Hophni and Phinehas

00:07:03.480 --> 00:07:04.980
 perished on the same day

00:07:04.980 --> 00:07:05.899
 in the hands

00:07:05.899 --> 00:07:06.879
 of the Philistine army

00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:07.839
 as the Lord

00:07:07.839 --> 00:07:08.699
 has said they would.

00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:12.819
 Irreverent worship

00:07:12.819 --> 00:07:14.600
 is a grave sin.

00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:17.740
 God cares about

00:07:17.740 --> 00:07:19.180
 how we approach Him

00:07:19.180 --> 00:07:19.840
 in worship

00:07:19.840 --> 00:07:21.500
 and how we relate to Him

00:07:21.500 --> 00:07:22.439
 as our God and Lord.

00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:25.779
 So Ecclesiastes 5.1-7

00:07:25.779 --> 00:07:26.759
 begins by saying,

00:07:26.939 --> 00:07:28.180
 guard your steps

00:07:28.180 --> 00:07:28.939
 when you go

00:07:28.939 --> 00:07:29.899
 to the house of God.

00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:31.500
 And then it ends by saying,

00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:32.540
 God is the one

00:07:32.540 --> 00:07:33.500
 you must fear.

00:07:33.899 --> 00:07:34.800
 And that's the main point

00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:35.540
 of this passage

00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:36.579
 and indeed the main point

00:07:36.579 --> 00:07:37.300
 of the entire book

00:07:37.300 --> 00:07:38.040
 of Ecclesiastes

00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:39.120
 and indeed the main point

00:07:39.120 --> 00:07:40.899
 of all wisdom literature

00:07:40.899 --> 00:07:41.680
 in Scripture

00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.459
 is the fear of God.

00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:46.879
 That we ought to fear God.

00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:48.579
 This is not a fear

00:07:48.579 --> 00:07:49.620
 that terrorizes,

00:07:49.860 --> 00:07:50.720
 fear of punishment,

00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:53.160
 but a different kind

00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:53.620
 of fear.

00:07:55.420 --> 00:07:56.520
 The fear of punishment,

00:07:56.640 --> 00:07:57.940
 it says in 1 John 4.18,

00:07:58.520 --> 00:07:59.560
 is driven away

00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:00.800
 by God's perfect love

00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:01.340
 for us.

00:08:02.860 --> 00:08:03.860
 But there's a second

00:08:03.860 --> 00:08:04.620
 kind of fear

00:08:04.620 --> 00:08:05.800
 in which we ought

00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:07.000
 to relate to

00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:08.160
 and respond to God

00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:09.580
 with reverent obedience

00:08:09.580 --> 00:08:10.740
 and humble submission.

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:13.360
 I'm not trying

00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.260
 to take some

00:08:14.260 --> 00:08:15.140
 barbaric teaching

00:08:15.140 --> 00:08:15.980
 in the Old Testament

00:08:15.980 --> 00:08:17.300
 about being terrorized

00:08:17.300 --> 00:08:17.880
 by God

00:08:17.880 --> 00:08:19.080
 and making it palatable

00:08:19.080 --> 00:08:20.100
 for the modern audience.

00:08:20.100 --> 00:08:21.460
 The Bible itself

00:08:21.460 --> 00:08:22.560
 makes this distinction

00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:23.540
 between two types

00:08:23.540 --> 00:08:24.160
 of fears.

00:08:24.900 --> 00:08:26.620
 It says in Exodus 20.20,

00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:28.480
 after God appears

00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:29.220
 to the Israelites

00:08:29.220 --> 00:08:30.020
 to give them

00:08:30.020 --> 00:08:30.939
 the Ten Commandments

00:08:30.939 --> 00:08:32.740
 and Moses says

00:08:32.740 --> 00:08:33.279
 to the people,

00:08:33.540 --> 00:08:34.460
 do not fear

00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:36.399
 for God has come

00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:37.040
 to test you

00:08:37.040 --> 00:08:37.920
 that the fear

00:08:37.920 --> 00:08:38.560
 of God

00:08:38.560 --> 00:08:39.399
 may be with you

00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:40.879
 that you may not sin.

00:08:41.899 --> 00:08:42.860
 Don't fear.

00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:43.659
 In other words,

00:08:43.740 --> 00:08:44.480
 don't be afraid

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:44.980
 of God

00:08:44.980 --> 00:08:45.840
 and His punishment

00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:47.100
 and flee from this place.

00:08:47.100 --> 00:08:49.440
 but fear God,

00:08:49.540 --> 00:08:50.659
 meaning revere Him,

00:08:50.820 --> 00:08:52.139
 stand in awe of Him,

00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:53.879
 know how big He is

00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:55.300
 and how small you are

00:08:55.300 --> 00:08:56.420
 so that you are

00:08:56.420 --> 00:08:57.200
 constrained

00:08:57.200 --> 00:08:58.139
 onto obedience.

00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:00.920
 That's the kind of fear

00:09:00.920 --> 00:09:01.500
 that's in view

00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:02.500
 in this passage

00:09:02.500 --> 00:09:04.740
 and Ecclesiastes 5.1-7

00:09:04.740 --> 00:09:06.220
 is particularly concerned

00:09:06.220 --> 00:09:07.899
 with one way

00:09:07.899 --> 00:09:09.000
 that the fear of God

00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.680
 ought to be expressed

00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:13.599
 and that's in the fewness

00:09:13.599 --> 00:09:14.179
 of our words.

00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:17.079
 That's the main point

00:09:17.079 --> 00:09:18.079
 that I want to bring

00:09:18.079 --> 00:09:18.639
 to you this morning.

00:09:19.099 --> 00:09:20.739
 Before God in heaven,

00:09:21.099 --> 00:09:22.839
 we should let our words

00:09:22.839 --> 00:09:23.419
 be few.

00:09:24.699 --> 00:09:25.599
 And my first point

00:09:25.599 --> 00:09:26.379
 is going to be

00:09:26.379 --> 00:09:27.199
 talk less.

00:09:27.539 --> 00:09:28.179
 It's pretty simple.

00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:29.979
 My second point

00:09:29.979 --> 00:09:30.439
 is going to be

00:09:30.439 --> 00:09:31.259
 walk the talk.

00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:34.399
 It says in verse 1,

00:09:34.539 --> 00:09:35.319
 guard your steps

00:09:35.319 --> 00:09:35.799
 when you go

00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:36.599
 to the house of God.

00:09:36.659 --> 00:09:37.500
 The command in Hebrew

00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:38.079
 is literally

00:09:38.079 --> 00:09:39.479
 guard your feet.

00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:41.220
 This is not a warning

00:09:41.220 --> 00:09:42.759
 about some uneven steps

00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:43.860
 on your way

00:09:43.860 --> 00:09:45.279
 up the temple staircase.

00:09:46.899 --> 00:09:48.940
 It's getting at the fact

00:09:48.940 --> 00:09:50.159
 that whichever direction

00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:51.039
 your feet are pointing,

00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:52.620
 that's the way you walk.

00:09:54.139 --> 00:09:55.580
 Your feet and walking

00:09:55.580 --> 00:09:56.700
 is a common metaphor.

00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:57.800
 The metaphor of the journey

00:09:57.800 --> 00:09:58.820
 and life and walking

00:09:58.820 --> 00:10:00.220
 is commonly used

00:10:00.220 --> 00:10:00.840
 in the Bible

00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:01.960
 and so this here

00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:02.539
 is referring to

00:10:02.539 --> 00:10:03.440
 the same thing.

00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:06.360
 Proverbs 4.27 says,

00:10:06.500 --> 00:10:07.200
 Do not swerve

00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:08.240
 to the right or to the left.

00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:09.060
 Turn your foot

00:10:09.059 --> 00:10:10.739
 away from evil.

00:10:11.339 --> 00:10:11.699
 So then,

00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:12.939
 the preacher is warning us,

00:10:13.079 --> 00:10:13.779
 when you approach

00:10:13.779 --> 00:10:14.699
 God in worship,

00:10:15.439 --> 00:10:16.479
 guard your steps.

00:10:17.179 --> 00:10:18.459
 Watch your conduct.

00:10:19.119 --> 00:10:20.679
 Watch your attitude.

00:10:21.579 --> 00:10:23.339
 Make sure that it fits

00:10:23.339 --> 00:10:24.639
 the glory and honor

00:10:24.639 --> 00:10:26.019
 and holiness of God.

00:10:27.500 --> 00:10:28.439
 More specifically,

00:10:28.599 --> 00:10:29.339
 the preacher continues

00:10:29.339 --> 00:10:29.859
 in verse 1,

00:10:29.939 --> 00:10:31.199
 To draw near to listen

00:10:31.199 --> 00:10:32.299
 is better than

00:10:32.299 --> 00:10:33.679
 to offer the sacrifice

00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:34.199
 of fools,

00:10:34.819 --> 00:10:35.879
 for they do not know

00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:36.919
 that they are doing evil.

00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.199
 to listen,

00:10:39.479 --> 00:10:40.139
 which in Hebrew,

00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:41.059
 as is the case

00:10:41.059 --> 00:10:41.659
 in the English,

00:10:41.819 --> 00:10:42.939
 also means to obey,

00:10:43.379 --> 00:10:44.519
 to listen to someone,

00:10:44.599 --> 00:10:45.639
 to obey someone.

00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:47.120
 And it's a very important

00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:47.979
 command in the Bible.

00:10:48.740 --> 00:10:49.120
 In fact,

00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:49.779
 if you look at

00:10:49.779 --> 00:10:51.139
 the greatest command

00:10:51.139 --> 00:10:52.639
 summarized

00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:53.719
 in the Old Testament,

00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:55.059
 in Deuteronomy 6.45,

00:10:55.419 --> 00:10:56.439
 it begins this way.

00:10:57.099 --> 00:10:57.579
 Hear,

00:10:58.579 --> 00:10:59.479
 hear,

00:10:59.659 --> 00:11:00.099
 O Israel,

00:11:00.500 --> 00:11:01.500
 the Lord our God,

00:11:01.740 --> 00:11:02.980
 the Lord is one.

00:11:02.980 --> 00:11:04.180
 You shall love

00:11:04.180 --> 00:11:04.920
 the Lord your God

00:11:04.920 --> 00:11:05.899
 with all your heart

00:11:05.899 --> 00:11:06.759
 and with all your soul

00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:07.980
 and with all your mind.

00:11:10.460 --> 00:11:10.980
 Hear,

00:11:11.820 --> 00:11:12.680
 pay attention,

00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:13.759
 listen.

00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:15.940
 Some people have said

00:11:15.940 --> 00:11:16.580
 that hearing

00:11:16.580 --> 00:11:18.440
 is the most important

00:11:18.440 --> 00:11:19.460
 spiritual faculty

00:11:19.460 --> 00:11:20.139
 for the Christian.

00:11:21.300 --> 00:11:22.420
 That of all our senses,

00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:23.080
 that hearing

00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:24.340
 is the most important.

00:11:25.680 --> 00:11:26.600
 If you remember

00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:27.539
 Doubting Thomas

00:11:27.539 --> 00:11:28.980
 after Jesus' resurrection

00:11:29.500 --> 00:11:30.659
 saw Jesus,

00:11:30.659 --> 00:11:32.639
 he touched Jesus'

00:11:32.919 --> 00:11:33.939
 nail-scarred hands

00:11:33.939 --> 00:11:36.039
 and his spear-pierced sides

00:11:36.039 --> 00:11:37.620
 and then he believed

00:11:37.620 --> 00:11:39.100
 and then Jesus said,

00:11:39.259 --> 00:11:39.740
 you have believed

00:11:39.740 --> 00:11:41.360
 because you have seen.

00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:42.659
 Blessed are those

00:11:42.659 --> 00:11:43.500
 who have not seen

00:11:43.500 --> 00:11:44.360
 and yet have believed

00:11:44.360 --> 00:11:45.519
 because we as Christians

00:11:45.519 --> 00:11:47.059
 ought to walk by faith

00:11:47.059 --> 00:11:47.939
 and not by sight.

00:11:49.899 --> 00:11:50.659
 And faith

00:11:50.659 --> 00:11:51.500
 is the assurance

00:11:51.500 --> 00:11:52.679
 of things hoped for

00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:53.259
 and conviction

00:11:53.259 --> 00:11:54.919
 of things unseen.

00:11:57.139 --> 00:11:57.759
 And so how

00:11:57.759 --> 00:11:58.740
 do we come to faith?

00:11:58.740 --> 00:12:01.639
 Romans 10,

00:12:01.740 --> 00:12:02.379
 14 to 17

00:12:02.379 --> 00:12:02.879
 tells us,

00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:03.960
 how then will they

00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:04.639
 call on him

00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:05.340
 in whom they have

00:12:05.340 --> 00:12:06.039
 not believed?

00:12:06.299 --> 00:12:07.139
 And how are they

00:12:07.139 --> 00:12:08.139
 to believe in him

00:12:08.139 --> 00:12:08.779
 of whom they have

00:12:08.779 --> 00:12:09.659
 never heard?

00:12:10.360 --> 00:12:11.180
 And how are they

00:12:11.180 --> 00:12:11.759
 to hear

00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:12.919
 without someone preaching?

00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:14.039
 And how are they

00:12:14.039 --> 00:12:14.539
 to preach

00:12:14.539 --> 00:12:15.860
 unless they are sent?

00:12:16.440 --> 00:12:17.180
 So faith

00:12:17.180 --> 00:12:18.779
 comes from hearing

00:12:18.779 --> 00:12:20.100
 and hearing

00:12:20.100 --> 00:12:20.960
 through the word

00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:21.480
 of Christ.

00:12:23.100 --> 00:12:24.080
 Saving faith

00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:25.060
 is not a fruit

00:12:25.060 --> 00:12:25.860
 of our personal

00:12:25.860 --> 00:12:26.539
 search

00:12:26.539 --> 00:12:27.799
 or investigation

00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:29.519
 or an experiment.

00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:31.240
 Saving faith

00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:31.879
 is the fruit

00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:33.179
 of our proclamation

00:12:33.179 --> 00:12:35.319
 of God's revelation.

00:12:36.079 --> 00:12:36.559
 It is something

00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:37.360
 that is heard.

00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:38.019
 It is something

00:12:38.019 --> 00:12:39.039
 that is received.

00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:41.439
 And that means

00:12:41.439 --> 00:12:42.079
 the activity

00:12:42.079 --> 00:12:42.879
 that we're engaged

00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:43.899
 in right now,

00:12:44.480 --> 00:12:44.980
 the preaching

00:12:44.980 --> 00:12:45.719
 of God's word

00:12:45.719 --> 00:12:46.659
 and the hearing

00:12:46.659 --> 00:12:47.379
 of God's word

00:12:47.379 --> 00:12:48.319
 is a matter

00:12:48.319 --> 00:12:49.579
 of life and death,

00:12:50.219 --> 00:12:52.199
 of eternal salvation

00:12:52.199 --> 00:12:53.339
 or eternal damnation.

00:12:53.340 --> 00:12:57.840
 When some people

00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:59.080
 hear the word of God,

00:12:59.220 --> 00:12:59.639
 the gospel

00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:00.480
 of Jesus Christ,

00:13:00.980 --> 00:13:02.420
 it lands on their ears

00:13:02.420 --> 00:13:03.740
 like a seed

00:13:03.740 --> 00:13:04.639
 that falls along

00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:05.200
 the path

00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:06.160
 that people walk on.

00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:07.780
 It gets trampled

00:13:07.780 --> 00:13:08.379
 on their foot

00:13:08.379 --> 00:13:10.180
 and it gets pecked at

00:13:10.180 --> 00:13:10.879
 and devoured

00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:11.420
 by birds.

00:13:13.680 --> 00:13:14.840
 These are the people

00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:16.220
 who listen to the gospel,

00:13:16.379 --> 00:13:17.080
 listen to the word,

00:13:17.160 --> 00:13:18.300
 but they don't really hear it.

00:13:18.340 --> 00:13:19.019
 It just goes out

00:13:19.019 --> 00:13:19.500
 the other ear.

00:13:20.860 --> 00:13:21.900
 The seed never takes

00:13:21.900 --> 00:13:23.240
 root in their hearts.

00:13:23.340 --> 00:13:24.259
 And it's snatched away

00:13:24.259 --> 00:13:24.800
 by the devil.

00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:27.519
 And then there are

00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:28.019
 some people,

00:13:28.720 --> 00:13:29.639
 you guys might recognize

00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:30.240
 this parable.

00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:31.000
 Somebody famous

00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:31.480
 said this.

00:13:31.920 --> 00:13:32.500
 Some people,

00:13:32.700 --> 00:13:33.700
 the word of God

00:13:33.700 --> 00:13:34.759
 lands on their ears

00:13:34.759 --> 00:13:35.320
 like a seed

00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:36.480
 that falls upon a rock.

00:13:37.040 --> 00:13:38.259
 There's some shallow soil

00:13:38.259 --> 00:13:38.879
 on the rock

00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:39.600
 and so the seed

00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:40.940
 quickly takes root,

00:13:41.980 --> 00:13:42.600
 shallow root,

00:13:43.420 --> 00:13:46.440
 and then it springs up quickly.

00:13:47.780 --> 00:13:49.240
 But because it doesn't

00:13:49.240 --> 00:13:50.200
 have deep root,

00:13:50.300 --> 00:13:51.220
 it withers away

00:13:51.220 --> 00:13:52.580
 when the sun shines on it.

00:13:52.580 --> 00:13:53.520
 It's like people

00:13:53.520 --> 00:13:54.540
 who listen to the word

00:13:54.540 --> 00:13:55.220
 and at first

00:13:55.220 --> 00:13:56.680
 seem to eagerly embrace it

00:13:56.680 --> 00:13:58.100
 and gladly receive it,

00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:00.420
 but then as soon as

00:14:00.420 --> 00:14:02.440
 trials and temptations come,

00:14:03.259 --> 00:14:04.280
 as soon as the pressures

00:14:04.280 --> 00:14:05.600
 of life bear upon them,

00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:07.200
 there's no root

00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:08.379
 and so they wither away.

00:14:11.040 --> 00:14:12.060
 For some people,

00:14:12.139 --> 00:14:12.700
 the word of God

00:14:12.700 --> 00:14:13.540
 lands on their ears

00:14:13.540 --> 00:14:14.200
 like a seed

00:14:14.200 --> 00:14:15.680
 that falls among thorns.

00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:15.779
 thorns.

00:14:16.779 --> 00:14:17.979
 They grow up,

00:14:18.539 --> 00:14:20.839
 but they're choked away

00:14:20.839 --> 00:14:21.559
 by the thorns

00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:23.879
 and don't bear fruit.

00:14:25.139 --> 00:14:26.279
 They're like the people

00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:27.259
 who hear the gospel,

00:14:27.439 --> 00:14:28.500
 hear the word of God,

00:14:29.659 --> 00:14:32.519
 but then when they are tempted,

00:14:32.859 --> 00:14:34.319
 they're preoccupied

00:14:34.319 --> 00:14:35.659
 by the cares of this world,

00:14:36.199 --> 00:14:38.519
 by the worries of life,

00:14:38.779 --> 00:14:40.379
 by the riches of this world.

00:14:40.379 --> 00:14:41.559
 When they are lured away

00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:42.360
 by the pleasures

00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:43.159
 of this world,

00:14:43.460 --> 00:14:45.120
 these things distract them

00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:45.879
 and these things

00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:47.299
 choke spiritual life

00:14:47.299 --> 00:14:48.080
 out of them

00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:49.960
 so that they don't ever

00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:50.580
 bear fruit.

00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:54.080
 But for some other people,

00:14:54.179 --> 00:14:54.740
 the word of God

00:14:54.740 --> 00:14:56.519
 enters their ears

00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:57.139
 like a seed

00:14:57.139 --> 00:14:58.679
 that falls on good soil

00:14:58.679 --> 00:15:00.139
 and then it grows

00:15:00.139 --> 00:15:01.220
 and grows and grows

00:15:01.220 --> 00:15:02.360
 and bears fruit

00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:03.120
 a hundredfold.

00:15:04.799 --> 00:15:05.960
 They are like the people

00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:07.580
 who hear the word,

00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:08.940
 hold it fast

00:15:08.940 --> 00:15:09.960
 in an honest

00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:11.060
 and good heart

00:15:11.060 --> 00:15:12.660
 and bear fruit

00:15:12.660 --> 00:15:13.700
 with patience.

00:15:16.780 --> 00:15:18.300
 This is from Jesus' parable

00:15:18.300 --> 00:15:18.960
 in Luke 8.

00:15:19.820 --> 00:15:21.160
 And you know what determines

00:15:21.160 --> 00:15:23.040
 the fate of the gospel,

00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:24.519
 this gospel seed

00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:25.100
 in your life?

00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:28.480
 Do you want to know

00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:29.780
 how you can be

00:15:29.780 --> 00:15:30.780
 this good soil

00:15:30.780 --> 00:15:32.480
 that bears fruit

00:15:32.480 --> 00:15:33.240
 a hundredfold?

00:15:34.100 --> 00:15:34.900
 Jesus tells us

00:15:34.900 --> 00:15:35.840
 in Luke 8, 18.

00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:38.180
 Take care

00:15:38.180 --> 00:15:39.360
 than how you hear.

00:15:43.180 --> 00:15:44.379
 How do you hear?

00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:47.160
 Are you listening?

00:15:50.160 --> 00:15:52.019
 To draw near to listen

00:15:52.019 --> 00:15:53.960
 is better than to offer

00:15:53.960 --> 00:15:55.340
 the sacrifice of fools

00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:56.519
 for they do not know

00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:57.860
 that they are doing evil.

00:15:58.560 --> 00:15:59.800
 The preacher of Ecclesiastes

00:15:59.800 --> 00:16:01.360
 has in mind a worshiper

00:16:01.360 --> 00:16:03.060
 but a foolish worshiper

00:16:03.060 --> 00:16:04.379
 who comes to the temple

00:16:04.379 --> 00:16:05.800
 and offers sacrifices

00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:06.719
 to God in the temple

00:16:06.719 --> 00:16:08.000
 but doesn't actually

00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:09.299
 listen to God,

00:16:10.219 --> 00:16:11.959
 doesn't actually obey God

00:16:11.959 --> 00:16:12.559
 in his life.

00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:14.859
 This contrast

00:16:14.859 --> 00:16:15.779
 between listening

00:16:15.779 --> 00:16:16.859
 and sacrifice

00:16:16.859 --> 00:16:17.859
 is one we find

00:16:17.859 --> 00:16:18.539
 in other parts

00:16:18.539 --> 00:16:19.519
 of scripture as well.

00:16:19.599 --> 00:16:20.339
 We just read

00:16:20.339 --> 00:16:21.919
 in our confession

00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:22.219
 of,

00:16:22.479 --> 00:16:23.559
 in the call to worship,

00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:23.859
 right?

00:16:23.899 --> 00:16:25.039
 The sacrifices of God

00:16:25.039 --> 00:16:25.839
 are a broken heart

00:16:25.839 --> 00:16:26.819
 and a contrite spirit.

00:16:26.820 --> 00:16:29.120
 in 1 Samuel 15,

00:16:29.220 --> 00:16:29.720
 1-3,

00:16:29.860 --> 00:16:30.740
 prophet Samuel

00:16:30.740 --> 00:16:32.800
 tells King Saul

00:16:32.800 --> 00:16:34.080
 while he is on his way

00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:34.960
 to make war

00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:36.160
 against the Amalekites,

00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:37.220
 he says,

00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:37.920
 now therefore

00:16:37.920 --> 00:16:39.640
 listen to the words

00:16:39.640 --> 00:16:40.100
 of the Lord.

00:16:40.100 --> 00:16:42.000
 And this is the word

00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:42.379
 of the Lord

00:16:42.379 --> 00:16:43.519
 that Samuel gives to Saul.

00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:44.139
 This is what you should

00:16:44.139 --> 00:16:44.740
 listen to.

00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:45.519
 He tells him,

00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:46.580
 the Amalekites

00:16:46.580 --> 00:16:47.379
 have oppressed

00:16:47.379 --> 00:16:48.279
 my people.

00:16:48.940 --> 00:16:50.159
 They are thoroughly

00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:51.019
 idolatrous

00:16:51.019 --> 00:16:51.399
 and therefore

00:16:51.399 --> 00:16:52.320
 you must devote

00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:53.340
 them to destruction.

00:16:54.300 --> 00:16:55.480
 Do not save

00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:56.259
 the spoils.

00:16:56.259 --> 00:17:02.100
 But Saul

00:17:02.100 --> 00:17:03.340
 thinks he knows better.

00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:05.519
 All these

00:17:05.519 --> 00:17:06.759
 animals,

00:17:07.819 --> 00:17:09.079
 all this wealth,

00:17:10.059 --> 00:17:11.359
 all this gold,

00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:14.259
 all these women,

00:17:19.259 --> 00:17:20.579
 he decides to keep

00:17:20.579 --> 00:17:21.160
 the spoils

00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:22.160
 to indulge in them.

00:17:24.839 --> 00:17:26.119
 And then when Samuel

00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:27.039
 comes to confront

00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:27.839
 Saul about his

00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:28.399
 unfaithfulness,

00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:29.479
 he deviously says,

00:17:29.559 --> 00:17:30.000
 oh no, no,

00:17:30.059 --> 00:17:31.059
 I kept this

00:17:31.059 --> 00:17:32.079
 so that we can

00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:33.019
 use these animals

00:17:33.019 --> 00:17:34.819
 to sacrifice to God.

00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:36.139
 He was all for

00:17:36.139 --> 00:17:36.939
 a good reason,

00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:38.479
 to worship God.

00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:47.679
 And then this is

00:17:47.679 --> 00:17:49.399
 what Samuel says.

00:17:50.119 --> 00:17:50.719
 Has the Lord

00:17:50.719 --> 00:17:51.619
 as great delight

00:17:51.619 --> 00:17:52.459
 in burnt offerings

00:17:52.459 --> 00:17:53.239
 and sacrifices

00:17:53.239 --> 00:17:54.879
 as in obeying

00:17:54.879 --> 00:17:55.939
 the voice of the Lord?

00:17:56.119 --> 00:17:58.879
 behold,

00:17:59.000 --> 00:17:59.519
 to obey

00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:00.279
 is better

00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:01.039
 than sacrifice

00:18:01.039 --> 00:18:02.500
 and to listen

00:18:02.500 --> 00:18:03.859
 than the fat of rams.

00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:06.739
 What good

00:18:06.739 --> 00:18:08.219
 is lip service

00:18:08.219 --> 00:18:09.079
 of sacrifice

00:18:09.079 --> 00:18:10.959
 when you have

00:18:10.959 --> 00:18:11.819
 no listening ear?

00:18:13.259 --> 00:18:14.659
 What God desires

00:18:14.659 --> 00:18:15.619
 is obedience.

00:18:17.219 --> 00:18:18.219
 We are to present

00:18:18.219 --> 00:18:19.039
 our bodies,

00:18:19.199 --> 00:18:20.419
 our very lives,

00:18:20.899 --> 00:18:21.399
 as it says

00:18:21.399 --> 00:18:22.019
 in Romans 12,

00:18:22.099 --> 00:18:23.879
 as a living sacrifice,

00:18:24.059 --> 00:18:24.859
 holy and acceptable

00:18:24.859 --> 00:18:25.439
 to God.

00:18:26.159 --> 00:18:26.879
 That is our

00:18:26.879 --> 00:18:27.639
 spiritual worship.

00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:30.059
 David echoes

00:18:30.059 --> 00:18:30.519
 the sentiment

00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:31.419
 in Psalm 40,

00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:32.419
 verses 6 to 8.

00:18:32.459 --> 00:18:33.039
 I think I have that

00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:33.419
 to show.

00:18:34.139 --> 00:18:34.919
 In sacrifice

00:18:34.919 --> 00:18:35.719
 and offering

00:18:35.719 --> 00:18:36.959
 you have not delighted,

00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:38.539
 but you have given me

00:18:38.539 --> 00:18:39.500
 an open ear.

00:18:40.639 --> 00:18:41.339
 Burnt offering

00:18:41.339 --> 00:18:41.979
 and sin offering

00:18:41.979 --> 00:18:43.139
 you have not required.

00:18:43.479 --> 00:18:43.979
 Then I said,

00:18:44.059 --> 00:18:44.439
 behold,

00:18:44.579 --> 00:18:45.319
 I have come

00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:46.240
 in the scroll

00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:46.719
 of the book.

00:18:46.779 --> 00:18:47.619
 It is written of me.

00:18:47.859 --> 00:18:48.899
 I delight to do

00:18:48.899 --> 00:18:49.579
 your will.

00:18:49.979 --> 00:18:50.679
 Oh my God,

00:18:50.959 --> 00:18:51.459
 your law

00:18:51.459 --> 00:18:52.619
 is within my heart.

00:18:52.619 --> 00:18:54.059
 The expression,

00:18:54.219 --> 00:18:55.000
 you have given me

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:56.079
 an open ear,

00:18:56.439 --> 00:18:57.099
 if translated

00:18:57.099 --> 00:18:57.779
 more literally,

00:18:58.199 --> 00:18:59.459
 is you have dug

00:18:59.459 --> 00:19:01.000
 open my ear,

00:19:02.099 --> 00:19:03.119
 which is a powerful

00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:04.039
 illustration of how

00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:05.459
 we ought to take care

00:19:05.459 --> 00:19:06.459
 to listen to the word

00:19:06.459 --> 00:19:06.819
 of God.

00:19:07.399 --> 00:19:08.299
 It's as if God

00:19:08.299 --> 00:19:09.439
 takes a hole

00:19:09.439 --> 00:19:10.159
 and shovel

00:19:10.159 --> 00:19:12.239
 and picks

00:19:12.239 --> 00:19:14.079
 at our hard heads

00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:16.059
 and our deaf ears

00:19:16.059 --> 00:19:17.559
 to dig open

00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:18.159
 an ear

00:19:18.159 --> 00:19:19.439
 upon which

00:19:19.439 --> 00:19:20.659
 he can plant

00:19:20.660 --> 00:19:21.759
 the gospel seed.

00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:27.519
 What good is it

00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:29.640
 if we come

00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:30.480
 to church

00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:31.180
 on Sunday

00:19:31.180 --> 00:19:32.600
 to worship God

00:19:32.600 --> 00:19:34.340
 in our Sunday best clothes

00:19:34.340 --> 00:19:36.519
 with our Sunday best smiles on

00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:37.720
 and then we shake

00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:38.259
 our hands

00:19:38.259 --> 00:19:38.900
 with each other

00:19:38.900 --> 00:19:39.900
 and then we raise up

00:19:39.900 --> 00:19:40.880
 our hands in worship

00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:41.880
 and then we utter

00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:42.700
 our platitudes

00:19:42.700 --> 00:19:43.279
 in prayer

00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:44.360
 only to let

00:19:44.360 --> 00:19:45.420
 the word of God

00:19:45.420 --> 00:19:46.060
 that we hear

00:19:46.060 --> 00:19:46.920
 go in one ear

00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:47.500
 and out the other.

00:19:50.660 --> 00:19:52.120
 only to contradict

00:19:52.120 --> 00:19:53.240
 our profession

00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:53.800
 of faith

00:19:53.800 --> 00:19:54.500
 on Sunday

00:19:54.500 --> 00:19:55.900
 with the conduct

00:19:55.900 --> 00:19:56.519
 of our lives

00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:57.700
 Monday through Saturday.

00:20:02.340 --> 00:20:04.120
 Proverbs 28.9 says,

00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:05.440
 if one turns away

00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:06.060
 his ear

00:20:06.060 --> 00:20:07.180
 from hearing the law,

00:20:07.600 --> 00:20:08.700
 even his prayer

00:20:08.700 --> 00:20:09.740
 is an abomination.

00:20:13.740 --> 00:20:15.500
 Why would a worshiper,

00:20:15.640 --> 00:20:16.279
 think about this

00:20:16.279 --> 00:20:16.820
 for a second,

00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:18.000
 why would a worshiper

00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:19.019
 offer sacrifices

00:20:19.019 --> 00:20:19.500
 to God

00:20:19.500 --> 00:20:20.400
 but not listen to him?

00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:23.140
 because other people

00:20:23.140 --> 00:20:24.540
 see sacrifices

00:20:24.540 --> 00:20:25.440
 offered in public.

00:20:26.340 --> 00:20:27.240
 They don't see

00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:28.500
 the way they talk

00:20:28.500 --> 00:20:29.240
 and live

00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:30.740
 in private.

00:20:33.180 --> 00:20:34.320
 There's another reason

00:20:34.320 --> 00:20:34.840
 to consider

00:20:34.840 --> 00:20:36.000
 why would a worshiper

00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:36.880
 offer sacrifices

00:20:36.880 --> 00:20:38.320
 but not listen to God.

00:20:39.940 --> 00:20:41.060
 Some people offer

00:20:41.060 --> 00:20:42.380
 sacrifices without obedience

00:20:42.380 --> 00:20:43.420
 because sacrifice

00:20:43.420 --> 00:20:44.940
 seems like

00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:46.940
 an effective

00:20:46.940 --> 00:20:47.940
 or efficient way

00:20:47.940 --> 00:20:48.860
 to get God

00:20:48.860 --> 00:20:49.280
 to do

00:20:49.280 --> 00:20:50.040
 what you want him

00:20:50.040 --> 00:20:50.340
 to do.

00:20:50.400 --> 00:20:53.860
 hundreds of millions

00:20:53.860 --> 00:20:54.300
 of people

00:20:54.300 --> 00:20:54.940
 throughout the world

00:20:54.940 --> 00:20:56.000
 still keep idols

00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:56.840
 and altars

00:20:56.840 --> 00:20:57.560
 in their homes

00:20:57.560 --> 00:20:58.240
 and businesses

00:20:58.240 --> 00:20:59.340
 and they bow to them

00:20:59.340 --> 00:21:00.580
 and bring food to them,

00:21:00.700 --> 00:21:01.460
 offerings to them,

00:21:01.560 --> 00:21:02.940
 and worship these idols

00:21:02.940 --> 00:21:03.880
 because they believe

00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:04.640
 that if they do

00:21:04.640 --> 00:21:06.120
 make these regular sacrifices,

00:21:06.320 --> 00:21:07.920
 then those so-called gods

00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:08.600
 will help them

00:21:08.600 --> 00:21:09.140
 to prosper,

00:21:09.780 --> 00:21:10.920
 keep their families healthy,

00:21:11.060 --> 00:21:11.960
 keep their businesses

00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:12.620
 prospering.

00:21:12.619 --> 00:21:14.519
 this is a classic

00:21:14.519 --> 00:21:16.419
 patron-client relationship.

00:21:16.419 --> 00:21:17.779
 The client brings

00:21:17.779 --> 00:21:18.819
 the payment

00:21:18.819 --> 00:21:20.059
 and the patron

00:21:20.059 --> 00:21:21.099
 bestows the favor.

00:21:22.059 --> 00:21:23.259
 It's transactional,

00:21:23.339 --> 00:21:23.899
 not relational.

00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:26.419
 It's selfish

00:21:26.419 --> 00:21:27.199
 at its root

00:21:27.199 --> 00:21:28.319
 because it's really

00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:29.459
 not even a gift,

00:21:29.679 --> 00:21:30.639
 it's a bribe

00:21:30.639 --> 00:21:34.339
 designed for your own

00:21:34.339 --> 00:21:35.099
 selfish ends.

00:21:36.279 --> 00:21:37.039
 It's a way of getting

00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:37.919
 God to do

00:21:37.919 --> 00:21:38.979
 what we want

00:21:38.979 --> 00:21:40.059
 instead of doing

00:21:40.059 --> 00:21:41.619
 what God wants us to do.

00:21:41.619 --> 00:21:43.079
 it's a presumptuous

00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:44.859
 attempt to shape God

00:21:44.859 --> 00:21:46.139
 to be the way

00:21:46.139 --> 00:21:47.279
 we want Him to be

00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:48.239
 instead of being

00:21:48.239 --> 00:21:49.819
 shaped by God's Word

00:21:49.819 --> 00:21:50.379
 to be the way

00:21:50.379 --> 00:21:51.679
 He wants us to be.

00:21:55.159 --> 00:21:56.079
 It's what we confessed

00:21:56.079 --> 00:21:56.519
 earlier,

00:21:56.639 --> 00:21:58.019
 it's a way of improperly

00:21:58.019 --> 00:21:58.979
 seeking concessions

00:21:58.979 --> 00:21:59.539
 from God

00:21:59.539 --> 00:22:00.899
 when we should be

00:22:00.899 --> 00:22:01.599
 seeking guidance

00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:02.019
 from Him.

00:22:04.139 --> 00:22:05.199
 When our proper

00:22:05.199 --> 00:22:06.019
 posture before Him

00:22:06.019 --> 00:22:06.679
 is submission,

00:22:07.299 --> 00:22:08.619
 not negotiation.

00:22:11.619 --> 00:22:13.359
 what is your relationship

00:22:13.359 --> 00:22:14.159
 to the Word of God?

00:22:15.939 --> 00:22:16.959
 Are you submitted

00:22:16.959 --> 00:22:17.419
 to it?

00:22:20.139 --> 00:22:21.039
 Or are you trying

00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:22.079
 to extract

00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:23.219
 concessions from it?

00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:28.379
 Are you listening

00:22:28.379 --> 00:22:28.899
 to it?

00:22:29.899 --> 00:22:31.099
 Or are you talking

00:22:31.099 --> 00:22:31.639
 over it?

00:22:31.640 --> 00:22:36.340
 That brings me

00:22:36.340 --> 00:22:36.980
 to verse 2.

00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:37.920
 Be not rash

00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:38.660
 with your mouth,

00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:39.780
 nor let your heart

00:22:39.780 --> 00:22:40.400
 be hasty

00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:41.100
 to utter a word

00:22:41.100 --> 00:22:41.700
 before God.

00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:43.080
 For God is in heaven

00:22:43.080 --> 00:22:44.200
 and you are on earth.

00:22:44.700 --> 00:22:44.940
 Therefore,

00:22:45.040 --> 00:22:45.900
 let your words

00:22:45.900 --> 00:22:46.720
 be few.

00:22:48.000 --> 00:22:48.780
 If we have

00:22:48.780 --> 00:22:49.660
 a humble posture

00:22:49.660 --> 00:22:50.160
 of submission

00:22:50.160 --> 00:22:50.880
 before God

00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:51.380
 in worship,

00:22:51.480 --> 00:22:51.900
 then we're going

00:22:51.900 --> 00:22:52.720
 to let our words

00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:53.320
 be few.

00:22:53.780 --> 00:22:54.200
 Why?

00:22:54.300 --> 00:22:55.220
 The preacher tells us,

00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:57.020
 for God is in heaven

00:22:57.020 --> 00:22:58.900
 and you are on earth.

00:22:58.900 --> 00:23:02.160
 Imagine that

00:23:02.160 --> 00:23:02.820
 you're a student

00:23:02.820 --> 00:23:04.820
 and your professor

00:23:04.820 --> 00:23:05.519
 invites you

00:23:05.519 --> 00:23:06.400
 to accompany him

00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:07.700
 to a prestigious

00:23:07.700 --> 00:23:08.240
 gathering

00:23:08.240 --> 00:23:09.340
 of leading experts

00:23:09.340 --> 00:23:10.920
 in this research field.

00:23:12.060 --> 00:23:13.019
 Would you go there

00:23:13.019 --> 00:23:14.400
 and then take a seat

00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:15.120
 among the table

00:23:15.120 --> 00:23:15.780
 among these

00:23:15.780 --> 00:23:17.620
 great scientists

00:23:17.620 --> 00:23:19.100
 or whatever they do

00:23:19.100 --> 00:23:21.880
 and then blabber away

00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:22.460
 about the little

00:23:22.460 --> 00:23:22.900
 that you know?

00:23:22.900 --> 00:23:28.440
 or would you

00:23:28.440 --> 00:23:29.019
 just stand up

00:23:29.019 --> 00:23:29.440
 to the side

00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:29.820
 quietly

00:23:29.820 --> 00:23:30.820
 and listen?

00:23:34.880 --> 00:23:35.660
 If you're

00:23:35.660 --> 00:23:36.920
 a summer intern

00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:38.000
 at your new work

00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:38.680
 in your company,

00:23:39.140 --> 00:23:40.000
 would you go barging

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:41.220
 into the CEO's office

00:23:41.220 --> 00:23:42.680
 and tell him,

00:23:42.820 --> 00:23:42.940
 hey,

00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:43.540
 I can tell you

00:23:43.540 --> 00:23:43.940
 how to run

00:23:43.940 --> 00:23:44.720
 this office better.

00:23:47.060 --> 00:23:47.820
 I can tell you

00:23:47.820 --> 00:23:48.140
 how to run

00:23:48.140 --> 00:23:48.860
 this company better.

00:23:48.859 --> 00:23:52.740
 Or would you

00:23:52.740 --> 00:23:53.299
 seek to learn?

00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:57.419
 If that's the case

00:23:57.419 --> 00:23:58.259
 with humans,

00:23:59.339 --> 00:24:00.139
 how much more

00:24:00.139 --> 00:24:01.099
 with God?

00:24:02.859 --> 00:24:03.819
 For as the heavens

00:24:03.819 --> 00:24:04.559
 are higher

00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:05.299
 than the earth,

00:24:05.459 --> 00:24:06.439
 so are my ways

00:24:06.439 --> 00:24:07.459
 higher than your ways

00:24:07.459 --> 00:24:08.439
 and my thoughts

00:24:08.439 --> 00:24:09.299
 than your thoughts.

00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:13.859
 Between the Lord

00:24:13.859 --> 00:24:14.099
 and us,

00:24:14.119 --> 00:24:15.179
 there's an infinite gap.

00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:15.839
 I talked about,

00:24:15.939 --> 00:24:17.459
 would a firefly

00:24:17.459 --> 00:24:18.219
 go to the sun

00:24:18.219 --> 00:24:18.500
 and say,

00:24:18.500 --> 00:24:19.180
 look what bright

00:24:19.180 --> 00:24:19.900
 light I have.

00:24:20.640 --> 00:24:22.200
 Would a muddy puddle

00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:22.740
 on the ground

00:24:22.740 --> 00:24:23.640
 on a rainy day

00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:24.420
 say to the ocean,

00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:25.380
 look how deep

00:24:25.380 --> 00:24:25.779
 and pure

00:24:25.779 --> 00:24:26.680
 my water is?

00:24:28.019 --> 00:24:28.880
 And even that

00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:30.240
 doesn't quite capture

00:24:30.240 --> 00:24:31.019
 the gap between

00:24:31.019 --> 00:24:31.519
 God and us

00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:32.220
 because as I said

00:24:32.220 --> 00:24:32.960
 two weeks ago,

00:24:33.299 --> 00:24:34.220
 God is not only

00:24:34.220 --> 00:24:35.440
 quantitatively

00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:36.220
 different from us,

00:24:36.480 --> 00:24:37.720
 he's qualitatively

00:24:37.720 --> 00:24:38.500
 different from us.

00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:40.019
 He's not just

00:24:40.019 --> 00:24:40.779
 a superlative

00:24:40.779 --> 00:24:41.799
 version of man.

00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:43.960
 He's as different

00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:44.500
 from us

00:24:44.500 --> 00:24:45.319
 as the author

00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:45.839
 of the book

00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:46.680
 is from a character

00:24:46.680 --> 00:24:47.160
 in the book

00:24:47.160 --> 00:24:48.440
 as the potter

00:24:48.440 --> 00:24:49.500
 is from the clay

00:24:49.500 --> 00:24:50.360
 that he is shaping.

00:24:52.940 --> 00:24:54.220
 Who are we

00:24:54.220 --> 00:24:56.140
 to speak back

00:24:56.140 --> 00:24:56.640
 to God?

00:25:01.440 --> 00:25:02.360
 We should know

00:25:02.360 --> 00:25:03.019
 our place

00:25:03.019 --> 00:25:03.680
 and know better

00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:04.519
 than to blabber

00:25:04.519 --> 00:25:05.559
 on and on

00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:06.059
 and on

00:25:06.059 --> 00:25:06.640
 before God.

00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:06.680
 God.

00:25:07.980 --> 00:25:08.960
 This is why

00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:09.500
 the reading

00:25:09.500 --> 00:25:10.060
 and preaching

00:25:10.060 --> 00:25:10.700
 of God's word

00:25:10.700 --> 00:25:11.480
 has such a prominent

00:25:11.480 --> 00:25:12.140
 place in our

00:25:12.140 --> 00:25:12.840
 corporate worship.

00:25:13.660 --> 00:25:14.660
 We gather here

00:25:14.660 --> 00:25:16.500
 for about two hours,

00:25:16.560 --> 00:25:17.160
 a little less,

00:25:18.100 --> 00:25:19.140
 every Sunday.

00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:20.360
 We spend

00:25:20.360 --> 00:25:21.759
 almost half

00:25:21.759 --> 00:25:22.420
 of that time

00:25:22.420 --> 00:25:23.180
 reading

00:25:23.180 --> 00:25:24.740
 and listening

00:25:24.740 --> 00:25:25.720
 to God's word

00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:26.080
 preached.

00:25:26.079 --> 00:25:32.199
 this is also

00:25:32.199 --> 00:25:33.159
 why my job

00:25:33.159 --> 00:25:34.000
 isn't

00:25:34.000 --> 00:25:35.579
 to regale you

00:25:35.579 --> 00:25:36.399
 with entertaining

00:25:36.399 --> 00:25:37.679
 stories from my life

00:25:37.679 --> 00:25:40.779
 or to peddle

00:25:40.779 --> 00:25:41.980
 some self-help tips

00:25:41.980 --> 00:25:42.859
 and give motivational

00:25:42.859 --> 00:25:43.319
 speeches

00:25:43.319 --> 00:25:44.939
 or be a mouthpiece

00:25:44.939 --> 00:25:45.699
 for politicians

00:25:45.699 --> 00:25:47.699
 from the pulpit.

00:25:49.740 --> 00:25:50.319
 Rather,

00:25:50.419 --> 00:25:50.799
 my job

00:25:50.799 --> 00:25:51.500
 is to faithfully

00:25:51.500 --> 00:25:52.079
 interpret

00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:52.859
 and apply

00:25:52.859 --> 00:25:53.500
 God's word

00:25:53.500 --> 00:25:54.259
 to our lives.

00:25:54.259 --> 00:25:55.839
 I don't get

00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:56.279
 to say

00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:56.879
 what I want

00:25:56.879 --> 00:25:57.339
 to say.

00:26:00.140 --> 00:26:01.299
 I must say

00:26:01.299 --> 00:26:02.460
 what God's word

00:26:02.460 --> 00:26:03.099
 says

00:26:03.099 --> 00:26:04.420
 and no preacher

00:26:04.420 --> 00:26:05.500
 should ever

00:26:05.500 --> 00:26:05.940
 preach

00:26:05.940 --> 00:26:06.339
 unless they

00:26:06.339 --> 00:26:06.720
 have first

00:26:06.720 --> 00:26:07.180
 listened

00:26:07.180 --> 00:26:07.720
 to the word

00:26:07.720 --> 00:26:08.099
 of God.

00:26:13.500 --> 00:26:14.240
 This also

00:26:14.240 --> 00:26:14.960
 has implications

00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:15.480
 for how we

00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:16.259
 pray to God

00:26:16.259 --> 00:26:17.220
 and this is

00:26:17.220 --> 00:26:17.759
 one of the reasons

00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:18.500
 why during our

00:26:18.500 --> 00:26:19.400
 corporate prayer times

00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:20.220
 I ask people

00:26:20.220 --> 00:26:21.379
 to pray,

00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:22.059
 especially during

00:26:22.059 --> 00:26:23.240
 that popcorn prayer time,

00:26:23.379 --> 00:26:24.220
 pray concise

00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:25.380
 to the point

00:26:25.380 --> 00:26:25.839
 prayers

00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:28.420
 because I don't

00:26:28.420 --> 00:26:28.839
 want people

00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:29.680
 to feel pressure

00:26:29.680 --> 00:26:30.259
 to pray

00:26:30.259 --> 00:26:31.079
 these elaborate

00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:32.400
 eloquent prayers

00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:34.420
 because I want

00:26:34.420 --> 00:26:34.940
 us to be able

00:26:34.940 --> 00:26:35.620
 to listen to

00:26:35.620 --> 00:26:36.019
 one another

00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:36.759
 pray and join

00:26:36.759 --> 00:26:37.299
 in instead

00:26:37.299 --> 00:26:38.259
 of planning

00:26:38.259 --> 00:26:39.039
 our next

00:26:39.039 --> 00:26:40.000
 prayer lines

00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:41.480
 while someone

00:26:41.480 --> 00:26:42.140
 else is praying

00:26:42.140 --> 00:26:42.680
 just like

00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:43.240
 when you talk

00:26:43.240 --> 00:26:43.700
 to somebody

00:26:43.700 --> 00:26:44.100
 they're not

00:26:44.100 --> 00:26:44.640
 really listening

00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:44.980
 to you

00:26:44.980 --> 00:26:45.380
 because

00:26:45.380 --> 00:26:46.200
 they're planning

00:26:46.200 --> 00:26:46.500
 what they're

00:26:46.500 --> 00:26:46.839
 going to say

00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:47.620
 next to you.

00:26:47.619 --> 00:26:53.959
 Jesus taught us

00:26:53.959 --> 00:26:54.599
 in Matthew 6,

00:26:54.639 --> 00:26:55.099
 7, 8

00:26:55.099 --> 00:26:55.539
 and when you

00:26:55.539 --> 00:26:55.899
 pray

00:26:55.899 --> 00:26:56.779
 do not heap

00:26:56.779 --> 00:26:57.319
 up empty

00:26:57.319 --> 00:26:57.759
 phrases

00:26:57.759 --> 00:26:58.679
 as the Gentiles

00:26:58.679 --> 00:26:58.979
 do

00:26:58.979 --> 00:26:59.879
 for they think

00:26:59.879 --> 00:27:00.159
 that they

00:27:00.159 --> 00:27:00.679
 will be heard

00:27:00.679 --> 00:27:00.979
 for their

00:27:00.979 --> 00:27:01.759
 many words

00:27:01.759 --> 00:27:02.619
 do not be

00:27:02.619 --> 00:27:03.239
 like them

00:27:03.239 --> 00:27:03.759
 for your

00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:04.459
 father knows

00:27:04.459 --> 00:27:04.799
 what you

00:27:04.799 --> 00:27:05.059
 need

00:27:05.059 --> 00:27:05.519
 before you

00:27:05.519 --> 00:27:06.079
 ask him

00:27:06.079 --> 00:27:08.059
 God is

00:27:08.059 --> 00:27:08.439
 in heaven

00:27:08.439 --> 00:27:08.919
 and we

00:27:08.919 --> 00:27:09.459
 are on earth

00:27:09.459 --> 00:27:09.939
 and God

00:27:09.939 --> 00:27:10.579
 is sovereign

00:27:10.579 --> 00:27:11.019
 he is

00:27:11.019 --> 00:27:12.000
 all-knowing

00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:12.919
 he knows

00:27:12.919 --> 00:27:13.339
 better than

00:27:13.339 --> 00:27:13.799
 we do

00:27:13.799 --> 00:27:14.139
 what we

00:27:14.139 --> 00:27:14.839
 actually need

00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:17.139
 God doesn't

00:27:17.139 --> 00:27:17.839
 listen to us

00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:18.279
 more

00:27:18.279 --> 00:27:18.779
 just because

00:27:18.779 --> 00:27:19.559
 we talk

00:27:19.559 --> 00:27:20.000
 more

00:27:20.000 --> 00:27:21.139
 or because

00:27:21.139 --> 00:27:21.720
 our words

00:27:21.720 --> 00:27:22.199
 are well

00:27:22.199 --> 00:27:22.879
 phrased

00:27:22.879 --> 00:27:24.919
 it's the

00:27:24.919 --> 00:27:25.339
 heart

00:27:25.339 --> 00:27:26.099
 not the

00:27:26.099 --> 00:27:26.720
 word count

00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:27.359
 that counts

00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:31.539
 when my

00:27:31.539 --> 00:27:32.279
 children ask

00:27:32.279 --> 00:27:32.859
 something of

00:27:32.859 --> 00:27:33.159
 me

00:27:33.159 --> 00:27:37.240
 they don't

00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:37.619
 you know

00:27:37.619 --> 00:27:38.839
 butter me

00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:39.139
 up with

00:27:39.139 --> 00:27:39.679
 flattery

00:27:39.679 --> 00:27:40.899
 or say

00:27:40.899 --> 00:27:41.299
 some

00:27:41.299 --> 00:27:42.199
 you know

00:27:42.199 --> 00:27:43.799
 long

00:27:43.799 --> 00:27:44.179
 elaborate

00:27:44.179 --> 00:27:44.619
 request

00:27:44.619 --> 00:27:44.899
 they're

00:27:44.899 --> 00:27:45.359
 right to

00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:45.479
 the

00:27:45.479 --> 00:27:45.779
 point

00:27:45.779 --> 00:27:46.359
 they're

00:27:46.359 --> 00:27:46.699
 simple

00:27:46.699 --> 00:27:47.439
 direct

00:27:47.439 --> 00:27:49.979
 but

00:27:49.979 --> 00:27:50.519
 their

00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:51.379
 requests

00:27:51.379 --> 00:27:51.759
 have

00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:52.259
 power

00:27:52.259 --> 00:27:52.699
 with

00:27:52.699 --> 00:27:52.959
 me

00:27:52.959 --> 00:27:54.439
 why

00:27:54.439 --> 00:27:55.779
 not

00:27:55.779 --> 00:27:56.079
 because

00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:56.299
 they're

00:27:56.299 --> 00:27:56.699
 eloquent

00:27:56.699 --> 00:27:56.979
 not

00:27:56.979 --> 00:27:57.259
 because

00:27:57.259 --> 00:27:57.639
 they have

00:27:57.639 --> 00:27:57.819
 this

00:27:57.819 --> 00:27:58.099
 long

00:27:58.099 --> 00:27:58.519
 fancy

00:27:58.519 --> 00:27:59.059
 request

00:27:59.059 --> 00:27:59.799
 but

00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:00.099
 because

00:28:00.099 --> 00:28:00.399
 they're

00:28:00.399 --> 00:28:00.659
 my

00:28:00.659 --> 00:28:01.099
 kids

00:28:01.099 --> 00:28:01.979
 and

00:28:01.979 --> 00:28:02.199
 I'm

00:28:02.199 --> 00:28:02.399
 their

00:28:02.399 --> 00:28:02.759
 dad

00:28:02.759 --> 00:28:04.799
 that's

00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:05.000
 why

00:33:33.720 --> 00:33:34.160
 boast

00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:34.360
 in

00:33:34.360 --> 00:33:34.520
 your

00:33:34.520 --> 00:33:35.000
 arrogance

00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:35.340
 all

00:33:35.340 --> 00:33:35.640
 such

00:33:35.640 --> 00:33:36.060
 boasting

00:33:36.060 --> 00:33:36.560
 is

00:33:36.560 --> 00:33:36.940
 evil

00:33:36.940 --> 00:33:38.920
 I

00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:39.080
 think

00:33:39.080 --> 00:33:39.259
 I've

00:33:39.259 --> 00:33:39.640
 told you

00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:39.880
 guys

00:33:39.880 --> 00:33:40.220
 this

00:33:40.220 --> 00:33:40.500
 already

00:33:40.500 --> 00:33:40.700
 I

00:33:40.700 --> 00:33:40.940
 forget

00:33:40.940 --> 00:33:41.220
 when

00:33:41.220 --> 00:33:41.380
 I

00:33:41.380 --> 00:33:41.660
 told

00:33:41.660 --> 00:33:41.940
 some

00:33:41.940 --> 00:33:42.060
 of

00:33:42.060 --> 00:33:42.140
 you

00:33:42.140 --> 00:33:42.360
 this

00:33:42.360 --> 00:33:42.660
 but

00:33:42.660 --> 00:33:43.200
 I

00:33:43.200 --> 00:33:43.380
 have

00:33:43.380 --> 00:33:43.560
 had

00:33:43.560 --> 00:33:43.759
 two

00:33:43.759 --> 00:33:44.180
 friends

00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:44.360
 in

00:33:44.360 --> 00:33:44.500
 my

00:33:44.500 --> 00:33:44.840
 life

00:33:44.840 --> 00:33:45.440
 who

00:33:45.440 --> 00:33:45.800
 told

00:33:45.800 --> 00:33:45.980
 me

00:33:45.980 --> 00:33:46.600
 confidently

00:33:46.600 --> 00:33:47.540
 I'm

00:33:47.540 --> 00:33:47.720
 going

00:33:47.720 --> 00:33:47.980
 to be

00:33:47.980 --> 00:33:48.140
 the

00:33:48.140 --> 00:33:48.420
 president

00:33:48.420 --> 00:33:48.700
 of the

00:33:48.700 --> 00:33:48.900
 United

00:33:48.900 --> 00:33:49.240
 States

00:33:49.240 --> 00:33:49.400
 of

00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:49.680
 America

00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:49.940
 one

00:33:49.940 --> 00:33:50.100
 day

00:33:50.100 --> 00:33:52.360
 honestly

00:33:52.360 --> 00:33:52.720
 with

00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:52.900
 one

00:33:52.900 --> 00:33:53.020
 of

00:33:53.020 --> 00:33:53.120
 them

00:33:53.120 --> 00:33:53.240
 I

00:33:53.240 --> 00:33:53.480
 almost

00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:53.800
 believe

00:33:53.800 --> 00:33:53.920
 that

00:33:53.920 --> 00:33:54.060
 they're

00:33:54.060 --> 00:33:54.200
 two

00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:54.300
 of

00:33:54.300 --> 00:33:54.400
 the

00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:54.660
 most

00:33:54.660 --> 00:33:55.040
 charismatic

00:33:55.040 --> 00:33:55.440
 people

00:33:55.440 --> 00:33:55.640
 I

00:33:55.640 --> 00:33:55.880
 know

00:33:55.880 --> 00:33:56.200
 to

00:33:56.200 --> 00:33:56.400
 this

00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:56.600
 day

00:33:56.600 --> 00:34:00.300
 but

00:34:00.300 --> 00:34:00.460
 they're

00:34:00.460 --> 00:34:00.680
 also

00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:00.840
 the

00:34:00.840 --> 00:34:01.040
 ones

00:34:01.040 --> 00:34:01.180
 that

00:34:01.180 --> 00:34:01.259
 are

00:34:01.259 --> 00:34:01.460
 now

00:34:01.460 --> 00:34:02.000
 struggling

00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:02.220
 the

00:34:02.220 --> 00:34:02.500
 most

00:34:02.500 --> 00:34:03.720
 their

00:34:03.720 --> 00:34:04.020
 lives

00:34:04.020 --> 00:34:04.160
 are

00:34:04.160 --> 00:34:04.360
 riddled

00:34:04.360 --> 00:34:04.580
 with

00:34:04.580 --> 00:34:05.080
 addictions

00:34:05.080 --> 00:34:07.960
 blew

00:34:07.960 --> 00:34:08.200
 away

00:34:08.200 --> 00:34:08.460
 a lot

00:34:08.460 --> 00:34:08.579
 of

00:34:08.579 --> 00:34:08.840
 chances

00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:09.059
 and

00:34:09.059 --> 00:34:09.480
 opportunities

00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:09.659
 that

00:34:09.659 --> 00:34:09.800
 they

00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:10.039
 had

00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:13.440
 we're

00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:13.900
 finite

00:34:13.900 --> 00:34:14.599
 creatures

00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:15.139
 who have

00:34:15.139 --> 00:34:15.519
 no

00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:16.019
 control

00:34:16.019 --> 00:34:16.260
 over

00:34:16.260 --> 00:34:16.599
 time

00:34:16.599 --> 00:34:16.760
 and

00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:17.119
 chance

00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:18.659
 it's

00:34:18.659 --> 00:34:18.800
 the

00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:19.000
 Lord

00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:19.179
 who

00:34:19.179 --> 00:34:19.300
 is

00:34:19.300 --> 00:34:19.460
 over

00:34:19.460 --> 00:34:19.699
 those

00:34:19.699 --> 00:34:20.000
 things

00:34:20.000 --> 00:34:21.760
 and

00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:21.900
 the

00:34:21.900 --> 00:34:22.340
 dreams

00:34:22.340 --> 00:34:22.519
 of

00:34:22.519 --> 00:34:22.699
 the

00:34:22.699 --> 00:34:23.079
 future

00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:23.280
 that

00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:23.400
 we

00:34:23.400 --> 00:34:24.079
 preoccupy

00:34:24.079 --> 00:34:24.260
 our

00:34:24.260 --> 00:34:24.559
 minds

00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:24.719
 and

00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:24.940
 hearts

00:34:24.940 --> 00:34:25.139
 with

00:34:25.139 --> 00:34:25.360
 are

00:34:25.360 --> 00:34:25.539
 a

00:34:25.539 --> 00:34:25.760
 form

00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:25.960
 of

00:34:25.960 --> 00:34:26.360
 boasting

00:34:26.360 --> 00:34:26.740
 before

00:34:26.740 --> 00:34:27.099
 God

00:34:27.099 --> 00:34:27.960
 because

00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:28.119
 we

00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:28.300
 don't

00:34:28.300 --> 00:34:28.500
 even

00:34:28.500 --> 00:34:28.880
 know

00:34:28.880 --> 00:34:29.079
 whether

00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:29.320
 we'll

00:34:29.320 --> 00:34:29.539
 be

00:34:29.539 --> 00:34:29.980
 living

00:34:29.980 --> 00:34:30.440
 tomorrow

00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:33.280
 so

00:34:33.280 --> 00:34:33.619
 before

00:34:33.619 --> 00:34:33.960
 God

00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:34.119
 in

00:34:34.119 --> 00:34:34.320
 heaven

00:34:34.320 --> 00:34:34.500
 we

00:34:34.500 --> 00:34:34.639
 should

00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:34.820
 let

00:34:34.820 --> 00:34:34.980
 our

00:34:34.980 --> 00:34:35.199
 words

00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:35.400
 be

00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:35.659
 few

00:34:35.659 --> 00:34:38.900
 humility

00:34:38.900 --> 00:34:39.159
 before

00:34:39.159 --> 00:34:39.359
 God

00:34:39.359 --> 00:34:39.599
 makes

00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:39.739
 us

00:34:39.739 --> 00:34:40.000
 talk

00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:40.500
 less

00:34:40.500 --> 00:34:41.219
 it

00:34:41.219 --> 00:34:41.399
 also

00:34:41.399 --> 00:34:41.639
 makes

00:34:41.639 --> 00:34:41.819
 us

00:34:41.819 --> 00:34:42.239
 walk

00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:42.639
 the

00:34:42.639 --> 00:34:42.960
 talk

00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:44.259
 as

00:34:45.779 --> 00:34:45.960
 says

00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:46.199
 when

 you

00:34:46.359 --> 00:34:46.719
 vow

00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:47.059
 a vow

00:34:47.059 --> 00:34:47.239
 to

 no

00:34:49.559 --> 00:34:49.899
 pleasure

00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:52.519
 it

00:34:52.519 --> 00:34:52.659
 is

00:34:52.659 --> 00:34:52.920
 better

00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:53.099
 that

00:34:53.099 --> 00:34:53.199
 you

00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:53.399
 should

 you

00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:54.619
 should

 you

00:34:57.339 --> 00:34:57.539
 into

00:34:57.539 --> 00:34:57.940
 sin

00:34:57.940 --> 00:34:58.159

 it

00:34:59.859 --> 00:35:00.059
 was

00:35:00.059 --> 00:35:00.219
 a

00:35:00.219 --> 00:35:00.679
 mistake

00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:01.299
 why

00:35:01.299 --> 00:35:01.519
 should

00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:01.799
 God

00:35:01.799 --> 00:35:01.979
 be

00:35:01.979 --> 00:35:02.319
 angry

00:35:02.319 --> 00:35:02.519
 at

00:35:02.519 --> 00:35:02.639
 your

00:35:02.639 --> 00:35:02.979
 voice

 your

00:35:04.099 --> 00:35:04.439
 hands

00:35:04.439 --> 00:35:04.679
 for

00:35:04.679 --> 00:35:04.879
 when

00:35:04.879 --> 00:35:05.259
 dreams

00:35:05.259 --> 00:35:05.839
 increase

00:35:05.839 --> 00:35:06.059
 and

00:35:06.059 --> 00:35:06.379
 words

00:35:06.379 --> 00:35:06.579
 grow

00:35:06.579 --> 00:35:06.859
 many

00:35:06.859 --> 00:35:07.099
 there

00:35:07.099 --> 00:35:07.339
 is

00:35:07.339 --> 00:35:07.739
 vanity

00:35:07.739 --> 00:35:08.419
 but

00:35:08.419 --> 00:35:08.779
 God

00:35:08.779 --> 00:35:08.919
 is

00:35:08.919 --> 00:35:09.059
 the

00:35:09.059 --> 00:35:09.279
 one

00:35:09.279 --> 00:35:09.479
 you

00:35:09.479 --> 00:35:09.759
 must

00:35:09.759 --> 00:35:10.179
 fear

00:35:10.179 --> 00:35:12.119
 in

00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:12.479
 Psalm

00:35:12.479 --> 00:35:13.159
 15

00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:14.199
 the

00:35:14.199 --> 00:35:14.539
 psalmist

00:35:14.539 --> 00:35:15.419
 describes

00:35:15.419 --> 00:35:15.679
 it

00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:16.079
 gives us

00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:16.619
 a portrait

00:35:16.619 --> 00:35:16.959
 of a

00:35:16.959 --> 00:35:17.219
 righteous

00:35:17.219 --> 00:35:17.759
 person

00:35:17.760 --> 00:35:19.620
 and

00:35:19.620 --> 00:35:19.860
 one

00:35:19.860 --> 00:35:20.020
 of

00:35:20.020 --> 00:35:20.160
 the

00:35:20.160 --> 00:35:20.700
 characteristics

00:35:20.700 --> 00:35:21.120
 of

00:35:21.120 --> 00:35:21.300
 a

00:35:21.300 --> 00:35:21.580
 righteous

00:35:21.580 --> 00:35:21.980
 person

00:35:21.980 --> 00:35:22.120
 that

00:35:22.120 --> 00:35:22.260
 is

00:35:22.260 --> 00:35:22.560
 pleasing

00:35:22.560 --> 00:35:22.760
 to

00:35:22.760 --> 00:35:23.020
 God

00:35:23.020 --> 00:35:23.200
 is

00:35:23.200 --> 00:35:23.400
 this

00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:23.560
 that

00:35:23.560 --> 00:35:23.740
 he

00:35:23.740 --> 00:35:24.400
 swears

00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:24.600
 to

00:35:24.600 --> 00:35:24.800
 his

00:35:24.800 --> 00:35:25.180
 own

00:35:25.180 --> 00:35:25.660
 hurt

00:35:25.660 --> 00:35:26.180
 and

00:35:26.180 --> 00:35:26.460
 does

00:35:26.460 --> 00:35:26.720
 not

00:35:26.720 --> 00:35:27.280
 change

00:35:27.280 --> 00:35:30.180
 meaning

00:35:30.180 --> 00:35:30.380
 that

00:35:30.380 --> 00:35:30.560
 this

00:35:30.560 --> 00:35:31.020
 person

00:35:31.020 --> 00:35:31.240
 would

00:35:31.240 --> 00:35:31.660
 rather

00:35:31.660 --> 00:35:32.220
 suffer

00:35:32.220 --> 00:35:32.960
 loss

00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:33.420
 than

00:35:33.420 --> 00:35:33.980
 break

00:35:33.980 --> 00:35:34.380
 his

00:35:34.380 --> 00:35:34.760
 word

00:35:34.760 --> 00:35:37.640
 probably

00:35:37.640 --> 00:35:37.920
 not

00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:38.180
 many

00:35:38.180 --> 00:35:38.520
 of us

00:35:38.520 --> 00:35:38.740
 have

00:35:38.740 --> 00:35:39.060
 in

00:35:39.060 --> 00:35:39.400
 this

00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:39.600
 day

00:35:39.600 --> 00:35:39.700
 and

00:35:39.700 --> 00:35:39.920
 age

00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:40.120
 have

00:35:40.120 --> 00:35:40.580
 encountered

00:35:40.580 --> 00:35:40.960
 people

00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:41.240
 like

00:35:41.240 --> 00:35:41.580
 this

00:35:41.580 --> 00:35:44.340
 words

00:35:44.340 --> 00:35:44.520
 are

00:35:44.520 --> 00:35:44.800
 cheap

00:35:44.800 --> 00:35:45.220
 nowadays

00:35:45.220 --> 00:35:46.600
 people

00:35:46.600 --> 00:35:46.900
 say

00:35:46.900 --> 00:35:47.100
 in

00:35:47.100 --> 00:35:47.280
 court

00:35:47.280 --> 00:35:47.440
 I

00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:47.700
 swear

00:35:47.700 --> 00:35:47.860
 to

00:35:47.860 --> 00:35:48.019
 tell

00:35:48.019 --> 00:35:48.200
 the

00:35:48.200 --> 00:35:48.360
 truth

00:35:48.360 --> 00:35:48.519
 the

00:35:48.519 --> 00:35:48.700
 whole

00:35:48.700 --> 00:35:48.960
 truth

00:35:48.960 --> 00:35:49.079
 and

00:35:49.079 --> 00:35:49.300
 nothing

00:35:49.300 --> 00:35:49.500
 but

00:35:49.500 --> 00:35:49.659
 the

00:35:49.659 --> 00:35:49.860
 truth

00:35:49.860 --> 00:35:50.000
 and

00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:50.159
 then

00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:50.579
 perjury

00:35:50.579 --> 00:35:50.740
 is

00:35:50.740 --> 00:35:50.900
 all

00:35:50.900 --> 00:35:51.019
 too

00:35:51.019 --> 00:35:51.380
 common

00:35:51.380 --> 00:35:53.400
 lovers

00:35:53.400 --> 00:35:53.659
 take

00:35:53.659 --> 00:35:53.840
 their

00:35:53.840 --> 00:35:54.179
 solemn

00:35:54.179 --> 00:35:54.679
 wedding

00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:55.079
 vows

00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:55.280
 and

00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:55.539
 then

00:35:55.539 --> 00:35:56.280
 casual

00:35:56.280 --> 00:35:56.880
 divorces

00:35:56.880 --> 00:35:57.220
 mock

00:35:57.220 --> 00:35:57.420
 the

00:35:57.420 --> 00:35:57.679
 vows

00:35:57.679 --> 00:35:57.820
 that

00:35:57.820 --> 00:35:57.940
 they

00:35:57.940 --> 00:35:58.079
 have

00:35:58.079 --> 00:35:58.340
 made

00:35:58.340 --> 00:36:01.920
 promises

00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:02.579
 oaths

00:36:02.579 --> 00:36:02.740
 and

00:36:02.740 --> 00:36:03.159
 vows

00:36:03.159 --> 00:36:03.420
 are

00:36:03.420 --> 00:36:03.820
 taken

00:36:03.820 --> 00:36:04.179
 lightly

00:36:04.179 --> 00:36:04.320
 in

00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:04.440
 our

00:36:04.440 --> 00:36:04.760
 culture

00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:05.179
 considered

00:36:05.179 --> 00:36:05.380
 a

00:36:05.380 --> 00:36:06.000
 formality

00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:06.940
 something

00:36:06.940 --> 00:36:07.159
 that

00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:07.300
 is

00:36:07.300 --> 00:36:07.960
 fungible

00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:09.860
 circumstances

00:36:09.860 --> 00:36:10.579
 changed

00:36:10.579 --> 00:36:11.139
 we say

00:36:11.139 --> 00:36:13.220
 sorry

00:36:13.219 --> 00:36:17.500
 and

00:36:17.500 --> 00:36:17.959
 by

00:36:17.959 --> 00:36:18.279
 making

00:36:18.279 --> 00:36:18.519
 such

00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:18.939
 excuses

00:36:18.939 --> 00:36:19.159
 we

00:36:19.159 --> 00:36:19.500
 betray

00:36:19.500 --> 00:36:19.719
 the

00:36:19.719 --> 00:36:19.959
 fact

00:36:19.959 --> 00:36:20.139
 that

00:36:20.139 --> 00:36:20.359
 our

00:36:20.359 --> 00:36:20.939
 words

00:36:20.939 --> 00:36:21.379
 are

00:36:21.379 --> 00:36:21.679
 only

00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:21.839
 as

00:36:21.839 --> 00:36:22.000
 good

00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:22.119
 as

00:36:22.119 --> 00:36:22.259
 our

00:36:22.259 --> 00:36:22.859
 circumstances

00:36:22.859 --> 00:36:24.980
 that

00:36:24.980 --> 00:36:25.159
 we

00:36:25.159 --> 00:36:25.459
 keep

00:36:25.459 --> 00:36:25.659
 our

00:36:25.659 --> 00:36:25.939
 word

00:36:25.939 --> 00:36:26.259
 only

00:36:26.259 --> 00:36:26.559
 when

00:36:26.559 --> 00:36:26.699
 it

00:36:26.699 --> 00:36:26.879
 is

00:36:26.879 --> 00:36:27.839
 advantageous

00:36:27.839 --> 00:36:28.119
 for

00:36:28.119 --> 00:36:28.480
 me

00:36:28.480 --> 00:36:34.539
 but

00:36:34.539 --> 00:36:34.839
 God

00:36:34.839 --> 00:36:35.699
 delights

00:36:35.699 --> 00:36:36.000
 in the

00:36:38.439 --> 00:36:38.639
 not

 we

00:37:32.719 --> 00:37:33.019
 Jesus

00:37:33.019 --> 00:37:33.400
 takes

00:37:33.400 --> 00:37:33.599
 this

00:37:33.599 --> 00:37:33.980

00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:36.519
 further

00:37:36.759 --> 00:37:37.079
 brings

00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:37.259
 it

00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:41.079
 to

00:37:41.079 --> 00:37:42.380

 an

 all

00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:45.159
 let

 be

00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:46.699
 simply

00:37:46.699 --> 00:37:47.239
 yes

00:37:47.239 --> 00:37:47.539
 or

00:37:47.539 --> 00:37:47.980
 no

00:37:47.980 --> 00:37:48.719
 anything

00:37:48.719 --> 00:37:49.000
 more

00:37:49.000 --> 00:37:49.159
 than

00:37:49.159 --> 00:37:49.319
 that

00:37:49.319 --> 00:37:49.579
 comes

00:37:49.579 --> 00:37:49.799
 from

00:37:49.799 --> 00:37:50.099
 evil

00:37:50.099 --> 00:37:52.400
 sometimes

00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:53.159
 circumstances

00:37:53.159 --> 00:37:53.860
 force us

00:37:53.860 --> 00:37:54.179
 to take

00:37:54.179 --> 00:37:54.319
 an

00:37:54.319 --> 00:37:54.440

00:37:54.440 --> 00:37:54.599
 so

 if

00:37:54.779 --> 00:37:55.400
 you

00:37:55.400 --> 00:37:55.519
 are

00:37:57.799 --> 00:37:58.000
 have

00:37:58.119 --> 00:37:58.319
 take

00:37:58.319 --> 00:37:58.440
 an

00:37:58.440 --> 00:37:58.619
 oath

00:37:58.619 --> 00:37:59.420
 even

00:37:59.420 --> 00:37:59.779

00:37:59.779 --> 00:38:00.019
 when

00:38:00.019 --> 00:38:00.099
 he

00:38:00.099 --> 00:38:00.239
 was

00:38:00.239 --> 00:38:00.420
 in

00:38:00.420 --> 00:38:00.759
 court

00:38:00.759 --> 00:38:01.480
 being

00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:02.119
 tried

00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:02.480
 by

 Caiaphas

00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:03.199

00:38:03.199 --> 00:38:03.380
 high

00:38:03.380 --> 00:38:03.699

00:38:03.699 --> 00:38:03.940
 he

00:38:03.940 --> 00:38:04.500
 adjured

00:38:04.500 --> 00:38:04.840
 him

00:38:04.840 --> 00:38:05.079
 by

00:38:05.880 --> 00:38:06.440
 made

00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:06.840
 basically

00:38:06.840 --> 00:38:07.779
 invoked

00:38:07.779 --> 00:38:07.940
 an

00:38:07.940 --> 00:38:08.179
 oath

00:38:08.179 --> 00:38:08.440
 for

00:38:08.440 --> 00:38:08.740
 Jesus

00:38:08.740 --> 00:38:09.019
 to

00:38:09.019 --> 00:38:09.360
 say

00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:09.599
 whether

00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:09.780
 you

00:38:09.780 --> 00:38:09.880
 are

00:38:09.880 --> 00:38:10.019
 the

00:38:10.019 --> 00:38:10.159
 son

00:38:10.159 --> 00:38:10.300
 of

00:38:10.300 --> 00:38:10.460
 God

00:38:10.460 --> 00:38:10.599
 or

00:38:10.599 --> 00:38:10.880
 not

00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:11.700
 so

00:38:11.700 --> 00:38:12.139
 if

00:38:12.139 --> 00:38:12.539
 that

00:38:12.539 --> 00:38:12.960
 happens

00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:13.280
 to

00:38:13.280 --> 00:38:13.700
 you

00:38:13.700 --> 00:38:14.179
 by

00:38:14.179 --> 00:38:14.360
 the

00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:14.679
 circumstances

00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:14.980
 that's

00:38:14.980 --> 00:38:15.200
 okay

00:38:15.200 --> 00:38:15.420
 but

00:38:15.420 --> 00:38:15.720
 don't

00:38:15.720 --> 00:38:16.500
 voluntarily

00:38:16.500 --> 00:38:18.400
 enter

00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:18.800
 into

00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:19.240
 such

00:38:19.240 --> 00:38:20.260
 oaths

00:38:20.260 --> 00:38:20.579
 on

00:38:20.579 --> 00:38:20.700
 your

00:38:20.700 --> 00:38:21.039
 own

00:38:21.039 --> 00:38:23.360
 rather

00:38:23.360 --> 00:38:23.860
 everything

00:38:23.860 --> 00:38:24.380
 we say

00:38:24.380 --> 00:38:24.700
 at all

00:38:24.700 --> 00:38:25.059
 times

00:38:25.059 --> 00:38:25.280
 should

00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:25.500
 be

00:38:25.500 --> 00:38:26.119
 completely

00:38:26.119 --> 00:38:26.599
 true

00:38:26.599 --> 00:38:27.519
 so

00:38:27.519 --> 00:38:27.659
 that

00:38:27.659 --> 00:38:27.820
 a

00:38:28.460 --> 00:38:28.700
 or

00:38:28.700 --> 00:38:28.980
 no

00:38:28.980 --> 00:38:29.720
 suffices

00:38:29.720 --> 00:38:30.420
 without

00:38:30.420 --> 00:38:30.980
 any

00:38:30.980 --> 00:38:31.500
 further

00:38:31.500 --> 00:38:32.340
 asseveration

00:38:32.340 --> 00:38:34.539

 we

00:38:40.019 --> 00:38:40.519
 asseverate

00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:40.860
 in many

00:38:40.860 --> 00:38:41.160
 ways

00:38:41.160 --> 00:38:41.360
 by

00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:41.800
 prefacing

00:38:41.800 --> 00:38:42.019
 our

00:38:42.300 --> 00:38:42.460
 with

00:38:42.700 --> 00:38:42.900
 like

 this

00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:44.579
 honestly

00:38:44.579 --> 00:38:47.460
 truthfully

 I

00:38:50.220 --> 00:38:50.760

 I've

00:39:00.640 --> 00:39:00.800
 used

00:39:00.800 --> 00:39:00.980

 myself

00:39:01.640 --> 00:39:01.920
 out

00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:02.059
 of

00:39:02.059 --> 00:39:02.480
 habit

00:39:02.480 --> 00:39:03.180
 because

00:39:03.180 --> 00:39:03.539
 these

00:39:03.539 --> 00:39:04.079
 asseverations

00:39:04.079 --> 00:39:04.559
 are so

00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:04.920
 much a

00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:05.059
 part

00:39:05.059 --> 00:39:05.160
 of

00:39:05.160 --> 00:39:05.300
 our

00:39:05.300 --> 00:39:05.700
 culture

00:39:05.700 --> 00:39:05.940
 which

00:39:05.940 --> 00:39:06.180
 is

00:39:06.180 --> 00:39:06.940
 saturated

00:39:06.940 --> 00:39:07.280
 with

00:39:07.280 --> 00:39:07.680
 lies

00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:08.079
 truth

00:39:08.079 --> 00:39:08.719
 so

00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:08.819
 we

00:39:08.819 --> 00:39:08.960
 need

00:39:08.960 --> 00:39:09.259
 some

00:39:09.259 --> 00:39:09.519
 way

00:39:09.519 --> 00:39:09.639
 to

00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:10.019
 distinguish

00:39:10.019 --> 00:39:10.519
 lies

00:39:10.519 --> 00:39:10.719
 from

00:39:10.719 --> 00:39:11.059
 truth

00:39:11.059 --> 00:39:14.299
 what

00:39:14.299 --> 00:39:14.480
 if

00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:14.579
 we

00:39:14.579 --> 00:39:14.719
 were

00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:15.119
 so

00:39:15.119 --> 00:39:16.039
 manifestly

00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:16.500
 truthful

00:39:16.500 --> 00:39:17.159
 in

00:39:17.159 --> 00:39:17.460
 all

00:39:17.460 --> 00:39:17.639
 that

00:39:17.639 --> 00:39:17.779
 we

00:39:17.779 --> 00:39:18.119
 ever

00:39:18.119 --> 00:39:18.599
 said

00:39:18.599 --> 00:39:18.799
 that

00:39:18.799 --> 00:39:19.159
 people

00:39:19.159 --> 00:39:19.659
 actually

00:39:19.659 --> 00:39:20.059
 took

00:39:20.059 --> 00:39:20.419
 us

00:39:20.419 --> 00:39:20.699
 at

00:39:20.699 --> 00:39:20.940
 our

00:39:20.940 --> 00:39:21.299
 words

00:39:21.300 --> 00:39:23.440
 we

00:39:23.440 --> 00:39:23.539
 should

00:39:23.539 --> 00:39:23.700
 we

00:39:23.700 --> 00:39:23.820
 should

00:39:23.820 --> 00:39:23.840
 be

00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:24.100
 so

00:39:24.100 --> 00:39:25.019
 steadfast

00:39:25.019 --> 00:39:25.600
 in

00:39:25.600 --> 00:39:25.780
 our

00:39:25.780 --> 00:39:26.160
 truth

00:39:26.160 --> 00:39:26.600
 telling

00:39:26.600 --> 00:39:27.800
 that

00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:28.260
 when

00:39:28.260 --> 00:39:28.460
 we

00:39:28.460 --> 00:39:28.720
 tell

00:39:28.720 --> 00:39:29.060
 people

00:39:29.060 --> 00:39:29.300
 that

00:39:29.300 --> 00:39:29.660
 Jesus

00:39:29.660 --> 00:39:30.120
 Christ

00:39:30.120 --> 00:39:30.320
 is

00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:30.500
 the

00:39:30.500 --> 00:39:30.720
 son

00:39:30.720 --> 00:39:30.860
 of

00:39:30.860 --> 00:39:31.200
 God

00:39:31.200 --> 00:39:31.840
 that

00:39:31.840 --> 00:39:31.980
 he

00:39:31.980 --> 00:39:32.460
 died

00:39:32.460 --> 00:39:32.740
 for

00:39:32.740 --> 00:39:33.000
 my

00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:33.280
 sins

00:39:33.280 --> 00:39:33.400
 and

00:39:33.400 --> 00:39:33.539
 he

00:39:33.539 --> 00:39:33.700
 was

00:39:33.700 --> 00:39:34.180
 raised

00:39:34.180 --> 00:39:34.500
 from

00:39:34.500 --> 00:39:34.680
 the

00:39:34.680 --> 00:39:35.060
 dead

00:39:35.060 --> 00:39:36.600
 so

00:39:36.600 --> 00:39:36.740
 that

00:39:36.740 --> 00:39:36.980
 I

00:39:36.980 --> 00:39:37.200
 might

00:39:37.200 --> 00:39:37.380
 have

00:39:37.380 --> 00:39:37.680
 eternal

00:39:37.680 --> 00:39:38.140
 life

00:39:38.140 --> 00:39:41.360
 it

00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:41.519
 is

00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:42.160
 impossible

00:39:42.160 --> 00:39:42.519
 for

00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:42.760
 someone

00:39:42.760 --> 00:39:42.980
 to

00:39:42.980 --> 00:39:43.320
 dismiss

00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:43.519
 you

00:39:43.519 --> 00:39:43.820
 lightly

00:39:43.820 --> 00:39:47.059
 it

00:39:47.059 --> 00:39:47.260
 makes

00:39:47.260 --> 00:39:47.420
 them

00:39:47.420 --> 00:39:47.920
 pause

00:39:47.920 --> 00:39:48.340
 and

00:39:48.340 --> 00:39:48.720
 ponder

00:39:48.720 --> 00:39:52.940
 because

00:39:52.940 --> 00:39:54.840
 even

00:39:54.840 --> 00:39:55.019
 if

00:39:55.019 --> 00:39:55.180
 they

00:39:55.180 --> 00:39:55.340
 don't

00:39:55.340 --> 00:39:55.580
 believe

00:39:55.580 --> 00:39:55.820
 it

00:39:55.820 --> 00:39:56.840
 they

00:39:56.840 --> 00:39:57.019
 do

00:39:57.019 --> 00:39:57.160
 so

00:39:57.160 --> 00:39:57.280
 at

00:39:57.280 --> 00:39:57.420
 their

00:39:57.420 --> 00:39:57.700
 own

00:39:57.700 --> 00:39:58.120
 peril

00:39:58.120 --> 00:39:59.000
 because

00:39:59.000 --> 00:39:59.280
 they

00:39:59.280 --> 00:39:59.780
 know

00:39:59.780 --> 00:40:00.220
 you

00:40:00.220 --> 00:40:00.519
 are

00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:00.660
 a

00:40:00.660 --> 00:40:00.900
 man

00:40:00.900 --> 00:40:01.100
 or

00:40:01.100 --> 00:40:01.240
 a

00:40:01.240 --> 00:40:01.420
 woman

00:40:01.420 --> 00:40:01.580
 of

00:40:01.580 --> 00:40:02.019
 integrity

00:40:02.019 --> 00:40:03.420
 and

00:40:03.420 --> 00:40:03.600
 they

00:40:03.600 --> 00:40:04.059
 know

00:40:04.059 --> 00:40:04.320
 that

00:40:04.320 --> 00:40:04.620
 you

00:40:04.620 --> 00:40:04.840
 are

00:40:04.840 --> 00:40:05.200
 telling

00:40:05.200 --> 00:40:05.400
 the

00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:05.720
 truth

00:40:05.720 --> 00:40:13.180
 verse

00:40:13.180 --> 00:40:13.519
 6

00:40:13.519 --> 00:40:13.739
 says

00:40:13.739 --> 00:40:13.920
 let

00:40:13.920 --> 00:40:14.159
 not

00:40:14.159 --> 00:40:14.340
 your

00:40:14.340 --> 00:40:14.639
 mouth

00:40:14.639 --> 00:40:14.940
 lead

00:40:14.940 --> 00:40:15.059
 you

00:40:15.059 --> 00:40:15.219
 into

00:40:15.219 --> 00:40:15.500
 sin

00:40:15.500 --> 00:40:15.619
 and

00:40:15.619 --> 00:40:15.719
 do

00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:15.900
 not

00:40:15.900 --> 00:40:16.159
 say

 before

 it

00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:17.460

00:40:17.460 --> 00:40:17.579
 a

00:40:17.579 --> 00:40:18.039
 mistake

00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:18.940
 this

00:40:18.940 --> 00:40:19.219
 likely

 messenger

00:40:53.659 --> 00:40:53.739
 you

00:40:53.739 --> 00:40:53.860
 will

00:40:54.699 --> 00:40:55.139
 anger

00:40:55.139 --> 00:40:56.159
 it

00:40:56.159 --> 00:40:56.300
 is

00:40:56.300 --> 00:40:56.639
 better
