Class 6 from this series was used in GCT Episode 349.<\/p>\n
2
\n00:00:05,720 –> 00:00:08,800
\nOur third period speaker is our
\nbrother Sean Snowblind. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:09,200 –> 00:00:13,520
\nHis second class, which he will
\nbe delivering to us, is entitled<\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:13,720 –> 00:00:27,380
\nBe Not Ashamed without Excuse.
\nWell, thank you brother and, and<\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:28,340 –> 00:00:34,640
\nwelcome everyone to Class 2.
\nA couple of the comments that I <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:34,640 –> 00:00:36,000
\ngot last night.
\nAnd by the way, I really <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:36,000 –> 00:00:39,480
\nappreciate all the comments that
\nI got and we’ll we’ll reference <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:39,480 –> 00:00:41,680
\nsome of them during the course
\nof this talk, God willing. <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:42,440 –> 00:00:46,720
\nOne of them was that it’s very
\ndistinct that was given to me by<\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:46,720 –> 00:00:49,720
\ntwo or three people, including
\nmy wife, was that I went <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:49,720 –> 00:00:55,240
\novertime by 10 minutes.
\nAnd with a title like that, I am<\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:55,240 –> 00:00:58,080
\ntherefore without excuse about
\nthe timing on on this one. <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:59,480 –> 00:01:02,680
\nSo we opened yesterday’s class
\nby looking at the the theme for <\/p>\n
14
\n00:01:02,680 –> 00:01:04,640
\nthe week.
\nPaul’s bold statement in in <\/p>\n
15
\n00:01:04,640 –> 00:01:08,080
\nRomans chapter 1 and 16.
\nFor I am not ashamed of the <\/p>\n
16
\n00:01:08,080 –> 00:01:11,720
\ngospel, for it is the power of
\nGod unto salvation to everyone <\/p>\n
17
\n00:01:11,720 –> 00:01:14,880
\nthat believes.
\nAnd those in Christ believe in <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:14,880 –> 00:01:17,040
\nthe existence of the Almighty
\nGod. <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:17,040 –> 00:01:20,280
\nAnd that he has called us out of
\ndarkness that we might share in <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:20,280 –> 00:01:22,600
\nhis glorious light.
\nAnd, and we also looked at the <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:22,960 –> 00:01:26,400
\nthe sense that we have to
\nbelieve in God’s future and his <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:26,400 –> 00:01:30,040
\nfuture promises and in a knowing
\nand believing that there is a <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:30,040 –> 00:01:33,360
\nfuture will help us make
\ndecisions in the present day. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:34,560 –> 00:01:37,320
\nAnd we looked at how God has
\nmade us in his image that we <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:37,320 –> 00:01:41,240
\nmight be like him and that we
\nmight act like him and manifest <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:41,240 –> 00:01:46,600
\nwho he is and that his character
\nmight form our character in our <\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:46,600 –> 00:01:48,720
\nlives.
\nAnd so I think it’s a very <\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:48,720 –> 00:01:51,600
\nprofound and it’s a very
\nhumbling thing what our God has <\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:51,600 –> 00:01:55,880
\ndone for us, that he surrounded
\nus with his name, that he <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:55,880 –> 00:01:58,680
\nsurrounded us with his
\ncharacter, and that he has <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:58,680 –> 00:02:02,400
\nsurrounded us with his power.
\nThat literally everywhere we <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:02,400 –> 00:02:04,960
\nlook we might see the character
\nof God. <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:04,960 –> 00:02:08,120
\nNow, I’ve often thought of this,
\nand I’m sure you have as well, <\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:09,080 –> 00:02:14,720
\nthat when we walk into our
\necclesial hall, we should. <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:14,720 –> 00:02:22,680
\nSee Christ everywhere manifest.
\nIf we are all in embodying the <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:23,080 –> 00:02:27,440
\nthe characteristics and the the
\nspiritual divine characteristics<\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:27,640 –> 00:02:31,200
\nof of our Lord Jesus Christ that
\nwhen we walk into our collegial <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:31,200 –> 00:02:33,920
\nhall, we should see it reflected
\nin all the brethren and sisters.<\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:35,400 –> 00:02:39,000
\nI wish that were true and I wish
\nthat were true for myself <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:39,000 –> 00:02:43,520
\nbecause oftentimes I don’t
\nmanifest those characteristics <\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:43,520 –> 00:02:45,560
\nin my life.
\nBut I think that’s something we <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:45,560 –> 00:02:48,040
\nshould think of when we walk
\nthrough the doors and not not <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:48,040 –> 00:02:50,680
\njust our ecclesial hall, of
\ncourse, but in our families, <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:50,680 –> 00:02:53,960
\neven in in our place of, of work
\nor where we go to school, that <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:53,960 –> 00:02:58,440
\nwe should be reflecting God’s
\ncharacter and the character of <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:58,440 –> 00:03:03,600
\nhis Son in our lives.
\nAnd so the message for this <\/p>\n
47
\n00:03:03,600 –> 00:03:08,320
\nclass is that that we see God
\neverywhere. <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:09,200 –> 00:03:11,360
\nAnd so therefore we are without
\nexcuse. <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:12,880 –> 00:03:16,440
\nSo turn to Romans chapter 1 and
\nlet’s just look at this section <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:16,440 –> 00:03:19,280
\nwhere the Apostle Paul talks
\nabout this very thing. <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:22,000 –> 00:03:24,960
\nAnd we went over this quite a
\nbit with the with the young <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:24,960 –> 00:03:26,280
\npeople.
\nAnd I have a statement I want to<\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:26,280 –> 00:03:28,200
\nmake about the young people at
\nthe end as well. <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:30,160 –> 00:03:33,160
\nThat those that deny the
\nexistence of God are without <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:33,160 –> 00:03:35,480
\nexcuse.
\nBut at the same time, and I <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:35,480 –> 00:03:40,160
\nthink even in a greater way,
\nthose of us who are believers or<\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:40,160 –> 00:03:42,320
\neven more without excuse.
\nBut look at what Paul says. <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:42,320 –> 00:03:45,120
\nFor what can be known about God
\nis plain to them because God has<\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:45,120 –> 00:03:48,080
\nshown it to them.
\nFor his invisible attributes, <\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:48,080 –> 00:03:51,840
\nnamely His eternal power and
\ndivine nature have been clearly <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:51,840 –> 00:03:54,640
\nperceived ever since the
\ncreation of the world and the <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:54,640 –> 00:03:57,920
\nthings that have been made so
\nthat they are without excuse. <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:58,880 –> 00:04:02,120
\nNow I’m sure you know what these
\nword meanings are, and I didn’t <\/p>\n
64
\n00:04:02,120 –> 00:04:05,560
\nwhen I did this study, but if
\nyou have clearly perceived, I <\/p>\n
65
\n00:04:05,560 –> 00:04:09,320
\nthink from the ESV in your
\nBible, it means to behold fully.<\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:09,320 –> 00:04:13,560
\nIt means to experience the
\nphysicality, the emotional <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:13,560 –> 00:04:15,720
\nnature, the spiritual nature of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:16,120 –> 00:04:18,800
\nThat’s what it means to clearly
\nperceive. <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:18,800 –> 00:04:20,959
\nIt’s not obscured.
\nIt’s not difficult to see. <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:20,959 –> 00:04:25,400
\nGod is everywhere.
\nAnd when Paul says there without<\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:25,400 –> 00:04:27,680
\nexcuse, it’s this interesting
\nword. <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:27,960 –> 00:04:33,160
\nSo we are Christian apologetics.
\nWe defend our faith. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:34,120 –> 00:04:36,840
\nThis is the opposite.
\nThis is in the Greek and <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:36,840 –> 00:04:41,240
\napologetics.
\nThere is no excuse, there is no <\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:41,240 –> 00:04:46,520
\ndefense for anyone to say that
\nthey cannot see God. <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:47,960 –> 00:04:50,680
\nAnd so the truth of God exists
\nall around us, His eternal <\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:50,680 –> 00:04:52,920
\npower, as Paul says, and his
\ndivine nature. <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:52,920 –> 00:04:59,000
\nThese attributes are to be held
\nfully in everything that we see,<\/p>\n
79
\n00:05:00,240 –> 00:05:05,280
\nin everything that is being
\nmade, and that we are without <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:05,280 –> 00:05:08,240
\nexcuse.
\nWe have no apology and no <\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:08,240 –> 00:05:10,360
\ndefense.
\nIt’s it’s irrefutable. <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:10,880 –> 00:05:13,440
\nSo the nature of God should be
\nmanifest in US and it’s <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:13,440 –> 00:05:16,240
\nirrefutable to everybody in the
\nworld to see. <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:16,440 –> 00:05:17,920
\nAnd how long has that been going
\non? <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:18,480 –> 00:05:20,720
\nSince the very beginning of
\ntime. <\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:21,840 –> 00:05:27,440
\nAnd where is that happening?
\nEverywhere God saw fit to make <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:27,440 –> 00:05:31,840
\nsure that his character and his
\nnature and his divine power <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:32,040 –> 00:05:35,880
\ncould be seen everywhere all at
\nonce. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:37,840 –> 00:05:40,000
\nLike you just think about the
\nwords that Paul says. <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:40,000 –> 00:05:43,800
\nThat’s incredible.
\nNot only God, in his infinite <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:43,800 –> 00:05:47,880
\nlove and mercy would make
\nhimself available, but it would <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:47,880 –> 00:05:52,760
\nbe so obvious.
\nThat we would be indefensible, <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:53,880 –> 00:05:57,400
\nThat we would be without excuse
\nnow. <\/p>\n
94
\n00:05:58,520 –> 00:06:01,680
\nThen Paul goes on to talk about
\nthe wrath of God. <\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:01,680 –> 00:06:05,760
\nAnd so why is God angry?
\nWell, God is angry for two <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:05,760 –> 00:06:08,360
\nspecific reasons.
\nAnd I think this resonated, I, I<\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:08,360 –> 00:06:11,640
\nhope with the young people as we
\ntry to understand what what Paul<\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:11,640 –> 00:06:13,160
\nis talking about.
\nIt says in verse 80 where the <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:13,160 –> 00:06:17,000
\nwrath of God is revealed from
\nheaven against all ungodliness <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:17,840 –> 00:06:20,640
\nand unrighteousness of men who
\nhold the truth and <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:20,640 –> 00:06:22,720
\nunrighteousness.
\nSo so why is God anger? <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:22,720 –> 00:06:24,760
\nWell, these these two words are
\nvery specific. <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:24,760 –> 00:06:28,480
\nUngodliness, this word in the
\nGreek for Asabaya, the word <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:28,480 –> 00:06:31,560
\ngenerally translates in the New
\nTestament as ungodliness. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:31,560 –> 00:06:35,000
\nAnd in most cases, in some cases
\nit’s translated as reverence. <\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:36,440 –> 00:06:40,320
\nAnd it refers to this proper,
\nthis lack of reverence for God, <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:40,320 –> 00:06:44,160
\nfailing to worship God, failing
\nto honor God as he is. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:44,160 –> 00:06:47,040
\nAnd we’ll call that, you know,
\nour vertical relationship with <\/p>\n
109
\n00:06:47,040 –> 00:06:48,760
\nGod.
\nSo the first thing God is angry <\/p>\n
110
\n00:06:48,760 –> 00:06:52,480
\nat is that man has severed that
\nvertical relationship with God, <\/p>\n
111
\n00:06:52,600 –> 00:06:55,280
\nthat mankind is no longer
\ninhabiting the image that God <\/p>\n
112
\n00:06:55,280 –> 00:06:56,600
\ncreated him in.
\nAnd the second word for <\/p>\n
113
\n00:06:56,720 –> 00:06:58,720
\nunrighteousness is this word
\nattakiya. <\/p>\n
114
\n00:06:59,520 –> 00:07:02,120
\nIn the Greek, this word is
\ntypically translated as <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:02,120 –> 00:07:04,360
\nunrighteous.
\nBut what we’ll find in Class 4 <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:05,320 –> 00:07:09,040
\nis that it’s also translated as
\ninjustice and righteousness and <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:09,040 –> 00:07:12,400
\njustice.
\nAre these Co equal terms in the <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:12,400 –> 00:07:14,680
\nNew Testament, which will come
\nup when we look at social <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:14,680 –> 00:07:16,680
\njustice?
\nAnd so it comes as all the we <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:16,680 –> 00:07:19,920
\ncan say, the moral wrongs, the
\nunjust actions that violate <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:19,920 –> 00:07:22,560
\nGod’s ethical standards and his
\nmorality. <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:23,400 –> 00:07:26,040
\nWe’ll call that the horizontal
\nrelationship we have with our <\/p>\n
123
\n00:07:26,040 –> 00:07:30,480
\nfellow man.
\nSo not only has has man severed <\/p>\n
124
\n00:07:30,480 –> 00:07:36,160
\nthe relationship with God in our
\nungodly behavior, but we have <\/p>\n
125
\n00:07:36,160 –> 00:07:39,280
\nalso separated our relationship
\nsevered. <\/p>\n
126
\n00:07:39,280 –> 00:07:43,000
\nThat relationship with mankind
\nand that’s why we see chaos in <\/p>\n
127
\n00:07:43,000 –> 00:07:45,560
\nour society.
\nAnd so Paul says we are without <\/p>\n
128
\n00:07:45,560 –> 00:07:47,200
\nexcuse.
\nIt’s indefensible. <\/p>\n
129
\n00:07:47,320 –> 00:07:50,640
\nIt’s an apologetic.
\nOur situation of being in a <\/p>\n
130
\n00:07:50,640 –> 00:07:55,040
\nstate of dishonor with God and
\nwickedness before man cannot be <\/p>\n
131
\n00:07:55,040 –> 00:07:58,560
\ndefended or tolerated.
\nSo this is very a very serious <\/p>\n
132
\n00:07:58,560 –> 00:08:03,320
\naccusation that Paul is leveling
\nat those that are unrighteous. <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:04,080 –> 00:08:06,880
\nAnd so This is why God is angry.
\nThe very reason why God created <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:06,880 –> 00:08:10,200
\nall things in the 1st place was
\nso that man would see him <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:10,200 –> 00:08:12,480
\neverywhere.
\nAnd the very reason God created <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:12,480 –> 00:08:16,480
\nhim in his image was so that man
\nwould see God and inhabit that <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:16,480 –> 00:08:21,200
\nlikeness, that image, that form
\nand be like God and to act like <\/p>\n
138
\n00:08:21,200 –> 00:08:23,600
\nGod.
\nAnd yet what we have today is a <\/p>\n
139
\n00:08:23,600 –> 00:08:27,280
\ncomplete reversal of that in
\nevery way, shape and form, where<\/p>\n
140
\n00:08:27,280 –> 00:08:32,320
\nmankind is now embodying the
\nungodly and unrighteousness of <\/p>\n
141
\n00:08:32,320 –> 00:08:35,240
\nhumanism.
\nNow I’m sure everybody knows <\/p>\n
142
\n00:08:35,240 –> 00:08:38,640
\nwho.
\nThis man is Professor Richard <\/p>\n
143
\n00:08:38,640 –> 00:08:41,520
\nDawkins, and we’ve heard all of
\nhis quotes, I think. <\/p>\n
144
\n00:08:41,600 –> 00:08:43,360
\nI think the.
\nBest thing I’ve. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:08:43,360 –> 00:08:45,960
\nHeard about Richard Dawkins and
\nI’ll show you the video at some <\/p>\n
146
\n00:08:45,960 –> 00:08:50,800
\nother time is when he finally,
\nfinally admits under cross <\/p>\n
147
\n00:08:50,800 –> 00:08:55,800
\nexamination that Christ did
\nexist. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:08:55,880 –> 00:08:57,760
\nI think it’s just the most
\nwonderful thing from this <\/p>\n
149
\n00:08:58,080 –> 00:09:01,800
\natheist who for years said
\nChrist the the historical Jesus <\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:01,800 –> 00:09:04,160
\ndidn’t exist.
\nBut Richard Dawkins this this <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:04,320 –> 00:09:08,760
\ninfamous evolutionary biologist
\nand we’ll say militant atheist, <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:08,800 –> 00:09:11,240
\nneo Darwinist as he likes to
\nrefer to himself. <\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:11,680 –> 00:09:14,040
\nWas being interviewed for a
\ndocumentary about 20 years ago <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:15,080 –> 00:09:18,440
\nand the last question that the
\ninterviewer asked him was Mr. <\/p>\n
155
\n00:09:18,440 –> 00:09:21,400
\nDawkins.
\nWhat if you actually meet God <\/p>\n
156
\n00:09:21,400 –> 00:09:25,760
\nsomeday and God condemns your
\nrejection of him? <\/p>\n
157
\n00:09:28,280 –> 00:09:34,160
\nWhat are you going to say?
\nAnd as arrogant as this man is, <\/p>\n
158
\n00:09:34,160 –> 00:09:36,440
\nhe said he responded to the
\ninterfaces. <\/p>\n
159
\n00:09:36,760 –> 00:09:44,280
\nI would say, Sir, why did you
\ntake such great pains to hide <\/p>\n
160
\n00:09:44,280 –> 00:09:49,600
\nyourself?
\nYou know, we can look at this <\/p>\n
161
\n00:09:49,600 –> 00:09:51,680
\nman and we can hear his
\nstatement. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:09:51,680 –> 00:09:54,920
\nIt would just be, you know,
\nawestruck at the. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:09:55,160 –> 00:09:58,800
\nIgnorance of this kind?
\nI’ve asked my brother Stephen. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:09:59,440 –> 00:10:02,000
\nWho kind of walks in these
\ncircles who I don’t think yet <\/p>\n
165
\n00:10:02,000 –> 00:10:03,520
\nhas met Professor Richard
\nDawkins. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:10:03,520 –> 00:10:06,600
\nAnd what are you going to say
\nwhen you do meet him? <\/p>\n
167
\n00:10:06,600 –> 00:10:08,560
\nAnd he’s, he’s going to say, how
\ncome you’ve never read the <\/p>\n
168
\n00:10:08,560 –> 00:10:11,320
\nBible?
\nLike, so we find it mind <\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:11,320 –> 00:10:13,120
\nblowing.
\nBut I, I, if we’re thinking <\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:13,120 –> 00:10:16,400
\nabout the person that the
\napostle Paul is, is referring to<\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:16,720 –> 00:10:20,640
\nin Romans chapter 1, it’s this
\nkind of person because as a <\/p>\n
172
\n00:10:20,920 –> 00:10:26,800
\nevolutionary microbiologist who
\nshould see the intricate and <\/p>\n
173
\n00:10:26,800 –> 00:10:29,640
\nbeautiful detail in the cell
\nwhich we will look at tonight, <\/p>\n
174
\n00:10:29,640 –> 00:10:35,720
\nGod willing that he could
\nsuppress that truth in his own <\/p>\n
175
\n00:10:35,720 –> 00:10:39,000
\nlife.
\nAnd I think that’s the person <\/p>\n
176
\n00:10:39,000 –> 00:10:40,320
\nthe apostle Paul is talking
\nabout. <\/p>\n
177
\n00:10:40,320 –> 00:10:43,080
\nSouth Man has inhabited God’s
\nimage with ungodliness. <\/p>\n
178
\n00:10:43,760 –> 00:10:46,960
\nIt says in Psalm 53 and verse 2.
\nSo God looked down from heaven <\/p>\n
179
\n00:10:46,960 –> 00:10:49,400
\nupon the children of men to see
\nif there were any. <\/p>\n
180
\n00:10:50,320 –> 00:10:53,840
\nThat didn’t understand or to
\nseek God and every one of them <\/p>\n
181
\n00:10:53,840 –> 00:10:56,040
\nhad gone back.
\nThey were all together become <\/p>\n
182
\n00:10:56,040 –> 00:10:58,080
\nfilthy.
\nThere was none that doeth good. <\/p>\n
183
\n00:10:58,360 –> 00:11:01,120
\nNo, not one.
\nAnd so man has continued to <\/p>\n
184
\n00:11:01,120 –> 00:11:06,840
\npursue this ungodliness and this
\nunrighteousness and humanism is <\/p>\n
185
\n00:11:06,840 –> 00:11:09,120
\nis as old as mankind itself,
\nright? <\/p>\n
186
\n00:11:09,520 –> 00:11:11,720
\nI mean it goes back to the time
\nof Adam and Eve in the Garden of<\/p>\n
187
\n00:11:11,720 –> 00:11:14,000
\nEden, given everything.
\nThey were literally given <\/p>\n
188
\n00:11:14,120 –> 00:11:18,880
\neverything separated from
\ncreation in their own ecclesia. <\/p>\n
189
\n00:11:21,480 –> 00:11:24,400
\nAnd said they saw something that
\nthey wanted to put themselves in<\/p>\n
190
\n00:11:24,400 –> 00:11:29,760
\nline first ahead of God.
\nYou know, they, they thought <\/p>\n
191
\n00:11:29,760 –> 00:11:32,120
\nthey could be a better version
\nof themselves. <\/p>\n
192
\n00:11:33,960 –> 00:11:38,600
\nAnd I say that because about 10
\nyears ago there was a bus ad for<\/p>\n
193
\n00:11:38,600 –> 00:11:41,400
\na beauty product that was
\nrunning in, in downtown <\/p>\n
194
\n00:11:41,800 –> 00:11:45,200
\nVictoria.
\nAnd the, the, the tag line from <\/p>\n
195
\n00:11:45,200 –> 00:11:47,640
\nit, I never was able to
\nphotograph it. <\/p>\n
196
\n00:11:47,640 –> 00:11:49,320
\nSo I can’t prove that the story
\nis correct. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:11:49,880 –> 00:11:51,680
\nIt said be a better version of
\nyourself. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:11:51,720 –> 00:11:53,880
\nAnd then it showed this
\nbeautiful model who had, you <\/p>\n
199
\n00:11:53,880 –> 00:11:56,560
\nknow, a before and after like
\nugly and then beautiful because <\/p>\n
200
\n00:11:56,560 –> 00:11:59,480
\nof the makeup.
\nAnd I that that’s, that stuck <\/p>\n
201
\n00:11:59,480 –> 00:12:04,360
\nwith me that we are not in this
\nworld under God to be a better <\/p>\n
202
\n00:12:04,360 –> 00:12:06,800
\nversion of ourselves.
\nGod doesn’t want a better <\/p>\n
203
\n00:12:06,800 –> 00:12:09,320
\nversion of ourselves.
\nGod. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:12:09,320 –> 00:12:15,360
\nWants us to represent his Son.
\nAnd so mankind, since the dawn <\/p>\n
205
\n00:12:15,360 –> 00:12:19,600
\nof civilization, has tried to
\nsubvert the existence of God in <\/p>\n
206
\n00:12:19,600 –> 00:12:23,280
\nways that make it possible for
\nus to live the life that we <\/p>\n
207
\n00:12:23,280 –> 00:12:28,840
\nwant, free from, as it were, the
\ninfluence of God, the free from <\/p>\n
208
\n00:12:28,840 –> 00:12:31,720
\nthe guilt to follow our own
\nsinful lives. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:12:32,040 –> 00:12:34,800
\nAnd so this is the issue.
\nThis is why God is angry. <\/p>\n
210
\n00:12:34,800 –> 00:12:38,160
\nThis is why God is wrathful.
\nAnd God has every right. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:12:38,600 –> 00:12:44,200
\nTo be wrathful, it says in
\nRomans 1 and 28, and we read <\/p>\n
212
\n00:12:44,200 –> 00:12:48,000
\npart of this the other night.
\nAnd since they did not see fit <\/p>\n
213
\n00:12:48,000 –> 00:12:51,320
\nto acknowledge God, God gave
\nthem up to a debased mind to do <\/p>\n
214
\n00:12:51,320 –> 00:12:54,280
\nwhat ought not to be done.
\nThey were filled with all manner<\/p>\n
215
\n00:12:54,280 –> 00:12:56,520
\nof unrighteous evil,
\ncovetousness, malice. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:12:56,800 –> 00:12:59,560
\nThey were full of envy, murder,
\nstrife, maliciousness, gossip, <\/p>\n
217
\n00:12:59,600 –> 00:13:02,360
\netcetera.
\nSo it’s like God got to a point <\/p>\n
218
\n00:13:02,360 –> 00:13:04,800
\nand said, if this is what you,
\nit’s like with Pharaoh, right? <\/p>\n
219
\n00:13:04,800 –> 00:13:08,400
\nWe some people say, oh, it’s was
\nunfair because God started to, <\/p>\n
220
\n00:13:08,760 –> 00:13:10,760
\nyou know, harden Pharaoh’s
\nheart. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:13:11,120 –> 00:13:13,920
\nAnd if God does that to us,
\nthat’s unfair. <\/p>\n
222
\n00:13:15,520 –> 00:13:17,760
\nI say well.
\nGod’s world, and by the way, <\/p>\n
223
\n00:13:17,760 –> 00:13:20,800
\nPharaoh hardened his own heart,
\nI think five times. <\/p>\n
224
\n00:13:21,480 –> 00:13:25,760
\nAnd then God said, if that’s
\nwhat you want, then that’s what <\/p>\n
225
\n00:13:25,760 –> 00:13:28,440
\nyou will have.
\nAnd the same thing is happening <\/p>\n
226
\n00:13:29,320 –> 00:13:34,600
\nwith us today, with mankind.
\nYou know, it’s like you think <\/p>\n
227
\n00:13:34,600 –> 00:13:36,080
\nabout.
\nHow? <\/p>\n
228
\n00:13:36,080 –> 00:13:41,160
\nHeartbroken God must have been.
\nWhen he looked down on mankind <\/p>\n
229
\n00:13:41,640 –> 00:13:46,520
\nin Genesis chapter 6 before the
\nflood and as it says, he only <\/p>\n
230
\n00:13:46,520 –> 00:13:54,920
\nsaw evil completely.
\nYou know, it’s, it’s a very sad <\/p>\n
231
\n00:13:54,920 –> 00:13:58,120
\nstate of affairs that God would
\nlook down from heaven and not <\/p>\n
232
\n00:13:58,120 –> 00:14:00,040
\nsee anyone that didn’t
\nunderstand. <\/p>\n
233
\n00:14:00,520 –> 00:14:04,200
\nAnd so humanity has pursued this
\nunrighteousness as a passion. <\/p>\n
234
\n00:14:04,600 –> 00:14:06,920
\nAnd so this is all these are all
\nthe things that Paul’s trying to<\/p>\n
235
\n00:14:06,920 –> 00:14:10,200
\nget out to the to the Roman
\necclesia and to us. <\/p>\n
236
\n00:14:10,360 –> 00:14:12,800
\nAnd what mankind has done is is
\nsystematic. <\/p>\n
237
\n00:14:13,040 –> 00:14:15,080
\nAnd so this is what Paul says
\nhappens. <\/p>\n
238
\n00:14:15,080 –> 00:14:17,200
\nAnd this, I think this is
\ninteresting. <\/p>\n
239
\n00:14:17,200 –> 00:14:18,520
\nYou probably all have it in your
\nnotes. <\/p>\n
240
\n00:14:18,520 –> 00:14:20,520
\nAnd that’s great.
\nI didn’t, but but this is what <\/p>\n
241
\n00:14:20,520 –> 00:14:23,440
\nPaul says.
\nLook at the systematic because <\/p>\n
242
\n00:14:23,480 –> 00:14:29,680
\nif you think it’s unintentional,
\nwhat man has done, it is not it <\/p>\n
243
\n00:14:29,680 –> 00:14:34,120
\nis highly intentional.
\nIt’s the first thing in in <\/p>\n
244
\n00:14:34,680 –> 00:14:38,400
\nRomans chapter 1 and 23.
\nThe first thing mankind does is <\/p>\n
245
\n00:14:38,400 –> 00:14:43,040
\nthey change God because if we
\ncan remove God, then we remove <\/p>\n
246
\n00:14:43,040 –> 00:14:45,800
\nthe rule maker.
\nAnd so that’s what they’ve done.<\/p>\n
247
\n00:14:47,400 –> 00:14:50,280
\nFor although they knew God, they
\ndid not honor him as God or give<\/p>\n
248
\n00:14:50,280 –> 00:14:52,240
\nthanks to him.
\nBut they became futile in their <\/p>\n
249
\n00:14:52,240 –> 00:14:57,000
\nthinking and they changed to
\nmake different was what that <\/p>\n
250
\n00:14:57,120 –> 00:14:59,720
\nword means to change from one
\nform to another. <\/p>\n
251
\n00:14:59,720 –> 00:15:03,480
\nAnd it actually means to
\nexchange from one form to a <\/p>\n
252
\n00:15:03,480 –> 00:15:08,040
\nlesser form.
\nSo they remove God, the glory of<\/p>\n
253
\n00:15:08,040 –> 00:15:11,760
\nthe incorruptible God, into an
\nimage made like corruptible, <\/p>\n
254
\n00:15:12,120 –> 00:15:15,800
\ncorruptible man, or birds or 4
\nfooted beasts and creeping <\/p>\n
255
\n00:15:15,800 –> 00:15:17,040
\nthings, as we’ll see in just a
\nminute. <\/p>\n
256
\n00:15:17,240 –> 00:15:20,960
\nSo once the rule maker has been
\nremoved, then it becomes easier <\/p>\n
257
\n00:15:20,960 –> 00:15:23,720
\nto change the rules.
\nSo that’s the next thing Paul <\/p>\n
258
\n00:15:23,720 –> 00:15:27,920
\nsays in verse 25.
\nWho then changed the truth of <\/p>\n
259
\n00:15:27,920 –> 00:15:30,000
\nGod into a lion?
\nThey worshipped and served the <\/p>\n
260
\n00:15:30,000 –> 00:15:32,040
\ncreature more than the Creator
\nwho is blessed forever. <\/p>\n
261
\n00:15:32,040 –> 00:15:35,320
\nAmen.
\nNow this word is a different <\/p>\n
262
\n00:15:35,320 –> 00:15:38,720
\nword for change.
\nIt means a profound change. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:15:38,720 –> 00:15:43,680
\nIt means from exchanging one
\nform to a completely other form.<\/p>\n
264
\n00:15:44,640 –> 00:15:46,880
\nRight?
\nWhich we can see as the <\/p>\n
265
\n00:15:46,880 –> 00:15:48,800
\nunrighteousness of man creeps
\nin. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:15:50,080 –> 00:15:52,640
\nAnd so they remove the rule
\nmaker. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:15:52,960 –> 00:15:56,800
\nThen they remove the rules and
\nthen what happens? <\/p>\n
268
\n00:15:57,920 –> 00:16:00,880
\nWell, then your morality
\nchanges. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:16:01,800 –> 00:16:07,160
\nThere’s no more center post,
\nthere’s no more moral underline,<\/p>\n
270
\n00:16:07,240 –> 00:16:11,520
\nthere’s no more baseline.
\nAnd so he says in verse 26 for <\/p>\n
271
\n00:16:11,520 –> 00:16:13,720
\nthis, ’cause then God gave them
\nup to their vile affections, the<\/p>\n
272
\n00:16:13,720 –> 00:16:15,320
\nverse we’ve already read.
\nAnd So what? <\/p>\n
273
\n00:16:15,320 –> 00:16:18,960
\nWhat then follows from that is
\nall of the the wickedness, <\/p>\n
274
\n00:16:18,960 –> 00:16:21,560
\nunrighteousness and ungodliness
\nof mankind. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:16:22,720 –> 00:16:24,440
\nGave them up to their
\nuncleanness, to the lust of <\/p>\n
276
\n00:16:24,440 –> 00:16:26,720
\ntheir own hearts, the dishonor
\nof their own bodies between <\/p>\n
277
\n00:16:26,720 –> 00:16:28,520
\nthemselves.
\nAnd so we can see the <\/p>\n
278
\n00:16:28,520 –> 00:16:33,280
\nintentional devolution of man
\nremove God, remove the rules and<\/p>\n
279
\n00:16:33,280 –> 00:16:35,120
\nremove the guilt.
\nAnd now we can do whatever we <\/p>\n
280
\n00:16:35,120 –> 00:16:37,000
\nwant.
\nAnd we talked yesterday about <\/p>\n
281
\n00:16:37,000 –> 00:16:39,640
\nthat word autonomy.
\nWrite this word for self law and<\/p>\n
282
\n00:16:39,640 –> 00:16:44,880
\nyou wonder why now we have self
\nlaw now it says in in Psalm 7 <\/p>\n
283
\n00:16:44,880 –> 00:16:49,280
\nand and this is.
\nA beautiful Psalm in the sense <\/p>\n
284
\n00:16:49,320 –> 00:16:50,960
\nof what it’s calling for.
\nPsalm 7. <\/p>\n
285
\n00:16:50,960 –> 00:16:52,440
\nI’ll just read this out starting
\nverse 9. <\/p>\n
286
\n00:16:52,440 –> 00:16:56,080
\nI’ll let the evil of the wicked
\ncome to an end, and may you. <\/p>\n
287
\n00:16:56,080 –> 00:16:58,560
\nEstablish the righteous, the
\npsalmist says. <\/p>\n
288
\n00:16:58,880 –> 00:17:01,840
\nYou who will test the minds and
\nthe hearts are righteous God. <\/p>\n
289
\n00:17:01,840 –> 00:17:04,839
\nMy shield is with God who saves
\nthe upright and heart. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:17:04,839 –> 00:17:09,880
\nGod is a righteous God and a God
\nwho feels indignation every day.<\/p>\n
291
\n00:17:11,400 –> 00:17:14,599
\nAnd if a man doesn’t repent, God
\nwill wet his sword. <\/p>\n
292
\n00:17:14,760 –> 00:17:19,160
\nHe has bent and readied his bow.
\nHe has prepared for him his <\/p>\n
293
\n00:17:19,160 –> 00:17:21,960
\ndeadly weapons, making his
\narrows fiery shafts. <\/p>\n
294
\n00:17:21,960 –> 00:17:24,599
\nAnd Brother Kitson in his class
\nthis morning, and I’d never <\/p>\n
295
\n00:17:24,599 –> 00:17:28,359
\nheard this before about how we
\nwould diligently teach our <\/p>\n
296
\n00:17:28,359 –> 00:17:30,120
\nchildren in Deuteronomy chapter
\n6. <\/p>\n
297
\n00:17:30,120 –> 00:17:33,600
\nAnd that word diligent means to
\nwet the sword and sharpen it. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:17:33,600 –> 00:17:35,080
\nAnd I was like, how did I miss
\nthat? <\/p>\n
299
\n00:17:35,640 –> 00:17:38,920
\nAnd so it’s the same kind of
\nsense here, but we’ll talk <\/p>\n
300
\n00:17:38,920 –> 00:17:41,960
\nabout.
\nOur children in in a in a in a <\/p>\n
301
\n00:17:42,040 –> 00:17:46,120
\nsubsequent class, God willing
\nand that very thing about how we<\/p>\n
302
\n00:17:46,120 –> 00:17:48,120
\nneed to prepare them after the
\nworld out there. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:17:48,120 –> 00:17:49,960
\nBut God, God didn’t want the
\nworld this way. <\/p>\n
304
\n00:17:49,960 –> 00:17:51,960
\nGod.
\nDidn’t intend humanity to be <\/p>\n
305
\n00:17:51,960 –> 00:17:55,520
\nthis way.
\nHe has given us free will so <\/p>\n
306
\n00:17:55,520 –> 00:17:58,360
\nthat we might make the choice to
\nfollow him. <\/p>\n
307
\n00:17:58,440 –> 00:18:02,840
\nAnd unfortunately, the vast
\nmajority of humanity has decided<\/p>\n
308
\n00:18:03,000 –> 00:18:07,360
\nto go in the opposite direction
\nand so turn over to to Exodus <\/p>\n
309
\n00:18:07,360 –> 00:18:09,240
\n24.
\nReally, this was an example for <\/p>\n
310
\n00:18:09,240 –> 00:18:11,680
\nthe teens, but I think it’s
\nrelevant for us as well because <\/p>\n
311
\n00:18:11,680 –> 00:18:16,720
\nthis shows how fast we devolve
\ninto sin when we remove God. <\/p>\n
312
\n00:18:17,440 –> 00:18:20,560
\nAnd so we know what’s happening
\nin in Exodus chapter 24. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:18:20,560 –> 00:18:25,120
\nIt’s the wonderful setup before
\nMoses ascends the mountain and <\/p>\n
314
\n00:18:25,120 –> 00:18:30,200
\nreceives the the law from God
\nand, and he received also the <\/p>\n
315
\n00:18:30,200 –> 00:18:34,680
\npattern of the Tabernacle and
\nthe design for the priestly <\/p>\n
316
\n00:18:34,680 –> 00:18:38,400
\ngarments and the, the cleansing
\nand the process and all those <\/p>\n
317
\n00:18:38,480 –> 00:18:41,000
\nbeautiful things and, and of
\ncourse the 10 commandments in X <\/p>\n
318
\n00:18:41,000 –> 00:18:43,840
\nis 24 and three.
\nThey start at the chapter God <\/p>\n
319
\n00:18:43,840 –> 00:18:47,200
\ncalls Moses and the elders to
\nthe mountain and and what they <\/p>\n
320
\n00:18:47,200 –> 00:18:50,960
\ndo first is they reconfirm the
\ncovenant with the nation is this<\/p>\n
321
\n00:18:50,960 –> 00:18:54,360
\nis important because it’s Moses
\ncame and and called all the <\/p>\n
322
\n00:18:54,360 –> 00:18:56,920
\npeople and said all the words of
\nthe Lord and brought all the. <\/p>\n
323
\n00:18:56,920 –> 00:18:59,160
\nRules as it says in this
\nparticular version. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:19:00,040 –> 00:19:01,920
\nAnd all the people answered with
\none voice, and said, all the <\/p>\n
325
\n00:19:01,920 –> 00:19:03,760
\nwords that the Lord has spoken
\nwe will do. <\/p>\n
326
\n00:19:05,000 –> 00:19:07,000
\nAnd at verse 7 he took the book
\nof the covenant, and he <\/p>\n
327
\n00:19:07,000 –> 00:19:09,960
\nrecommitted them to the covenant
\nand read it in the hearing of <\/p>\n
328
\n00:19:09,960 –> 00:19:11,520
\nthe people.
\nAnd they said, all that the Lord<\/p>\n
329
\n00:19:11,520 –> 00:19:13,320
\nhas spoken we will do, and we
\nwill be obedient. <\/p>\n
330
\n00:19:14,520 –> 00:19:18,000
\nAnd Moses ascends the mountain,
\nGod calls him, and he ends up <\/p>\n
331
\n00:19:18,000 –> 00:19:20,840
\ngoing up just.
\nWith a Joshua. <\/p>\n
332
\n00:19:21,040 –> 00:19:24,040
\nAnd he leaves behind Aaron and
\nher and Abinadab and the 70 <\/p>\n
333
\n00:19:24,040 –> 00:19:26,160
\nelders.
\nAnd Moses tells them, you stay <\/p>\n
334
\n00:19:26,160 –> 00:19:29,080
\nback and and deal with all the
\nissues and answer all the <\/p>\n
335
\n00:19:29,080 –> 00:19:31,640
\nquestions and stay with the
\npeople. <\/p>\n
336
\n00:19:32,960 –> 00:19:35,560
\nAnd so this is what happens.
\nAnd they they separate and Moses<\/p>\n
337
\n00:19:35,560 –> 00:19:37,440
\nsays, wait here till we return.
\nAnd behold, Aaron and her will <\/p>\n
338
\n00:19:37,440 –> 00:19:39,680
\nbe with you and whoever.
\nHas a dispute, let him go to <\/p>\n
339
\n00:19:39,680 –> 00:19:42,560
\nthem and and Moses and Joshua go
\nup, and they commune with God <\/p>\n
340
\n00:19:42,560 –> 00:19:44,160
\nand.
\nAnd as Moses sends them out in a<\/p>\n
341
\n00:19:44,160 –> 00:19:47,000
\nthick cloud covered the base of
\nthe mountain, then up at the top<\/p>\n
342
\n00:19:47,000 –> 00:19:50,440
\nof the mountain, as if to say
\nGod is manifest everywhere. <\/p>\n
343
\n00:19:50,840 –> 00:19:54,400
\nIt says in the glory of the Lord
\nwas like a devouring fire on the<\/p>\n
344
\n00:19:54,400 –> 00:19:57,200
\ntop of the mountain.
\nIt says in verse 17 inside of <\/p>\n
345
\n00:19:57,200 –> 00:20:01,120
\nall the people, Moses was on the
\nmountain for 40 days and 40 <\/p>\n
346
\n00:20:01,120 –> 00:20:03,840
\nnights and so we understand the
\nbackdrop. <\/p>\n
347
\n00:20:03,840 –> 00:20:06,200
\nThey have committed to the to
\nthe rules of God. <\/p>\n
348
\n00:20:06,200 –> 00:20:07,840
\nThey’ve recommitted to the
\ncovenant of God. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:20:07,840 –> 00:20:09,200
\nThey said we will obey
\neverything. <\/p>\n
350
\n00:20:09,960 –> 00:20:13,360
\nMoses goes up to the mount and
\nGod has manifest for all of them<\/p>\n
351
\n00:20:13,360 –> 00:20:15,920
\nto see in the sight of all the
\npeople and Moses is on the <\/p>\n
352
\n00:20:15,920 –> 00:20:19,640
\nmountain for 40 days and he
\nreceives. <\/p>\n
353
\n00:20:19,640 –> 00:20:21,240
\nAll of these wonderful things
\nfrom God. <\/p>\n
354
\n00:20:23,240 –> 00:20:25,280
\nAnd in those. 40 days him and
\nJoshua would have been writing <\/p>\n
355
\n00:20:25,280 –> 00:20:27,200
\nthese things down and
\nunderstanding them, committing <\/p>\n
356
\n00:20:27,200 –> 00:20:29,200
\nthem to memory.
\nThese were this was the pattern <\/p>\n
357
\n00:20:29,800 –> 00:20:33,480
\nof worship whereby the nation of
\nIsrael was to approach their <\/p>\n
358
\n00:20:33,480 –> 00:20:37,160
\nGod.
\nAnd in Exodus 31 and 18, he gave<\/p>\n
359
\n00:20:37,160 –> 00:20:39,320
\nto Moses, when he had finished
\nspeaking unto him in Mount <\/p>\n
360
\n00:20:39,320 –> 00:20:42,200
\nSinai, the 2 tablets of the
\ntestimony, the tablets of the <\/p>\n
361
\n00:20:42,200 –> 00:20:44,280
\nstone written with the finger of
\nGod. <\/p>\n
362
\n00:20:44,280 –> 00:20:47,560
\nIt’s just it is a beautiful
\nthing when Moses is on the <\/p>\n
363
\n00:20:47,560 –> 00:20:50,640
\nmountain with God.
\nBut then chapter 32 and verse <\/p>\n
364
\n00:20:50,640 –> 00:20:53,760
\none, when the people saw that
\nMoses had delayed 40 days, came <\/p>\n
365
\n00:20:53,760 –> 00:20:55,520
\ndown from the mountain, the
\npeople gathered themselves <\/p>\n
366
\n00:20:55,520 –> 00:20:58,560
\ntogether to Aaron and said unto
\nhim, Up make us gods, who shall <\/p>\n
367
\n00:20:58,560 –> 00:21:01,160
\ngo before us, for this Moses,
\nthe man who brought us out of <\/p>\n
368
\n00:21:01,160 –> 00:21:03,280
\nthe land of Egypt only 40 days.
\nAgo. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:21:03,760 –> 00:21:05,000
\nWe don’t know what’s become of
\nhim. <\/p>\n
370
\n00:21:06,360 –> 00:21:08,200
\nSo they’ve removed God.
\nGod’s out of the picture. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:21:08,200 –> 00:21:09,800
\nThey can’t see him.
\nThey removed the authority <\/p>\n
372
\n00:21:09,800 –> 00:21:13,040
\nfigure of God, which was Moses,
\nand they gave Aaron their gold, <\/p>\n
373
\n00:21:13,040 –> 00:21:14,840
\nand he fashioned for them a
\ngolden calf. <\/p>\n
374
\n00:21:15,120 –> 00:21:17,520
\nThese are your gods, O Israel,
\nwho brought you out of the land <\/p>\n
375
\n00:21:17,520 –> 00:21:21,200
\nof Egypt.
\nAnd in verse 35 and verse 32, <\/p>\n
376
\n00:21:21,200 –> 00:21:24,080
\nwhen Aaron saw this, he built an
\naltar before it and God and <\/p>\n
377
\n00:21:24,080 –> 00:21:26,560
\nAaron made a proclamation, even
\nsaid tomorrow we’ll have a <\/p>\n
378
\n00:21:26,560 –> 00:21:32,240
\nfeast.
\nAnd so within 24 hours they <\/p>\n
379
\n00:21:32,240 –> 00:21:36,760
\nremoved God, they removed the
\nrules that they just re covenant<\/p>\n
380
\n00:21:36,800 –> 00:21:40,400
\nto and their morality goes out
\nthe window. <\/p>\n
381
\n00:21:43,480 –> 00:21:46,120
\nAnd when Moses and Joshua come
\ndown from the mountain, they, <\/p>\n
382
\n00:21:46,120 –> 00:21:49,240
\nthey saw that the people had
\nbroken loose. <\/p>\n
383
\n00:21:49,240 –> 00:21:52,000
\nThey were, they were naked, they
\nwere dancing, they were <\/p>\n
384
\n00:21:52,080 –> 00:21:55,080
\nreveling.
\nIt says, to the derision of the <\/p>\n
385
\n00:21:55,080 –> 00:21:58,000
\nenemies of God that Moses stood
\nat the gate of the camp and he <\/p>\n
386
\n00:21:58,000 –> 00:22:00,720
\nsaid, Who is on the Lord’s side?
\nAnd this is where we have the <\/p>\n
387
\n00:22:00,720 –> 00:22:02,960
\ncalling out, of course, of the
\nLevites. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:22:03,000 –> 00:22:04,520
\nHe said, who’s on the Lord’s
\nside? <\/p>\n
389
\n00:22:04,560 –> 00:22:07,600
\nCome with me.
\nAnd all the Levites gathered <\/p>\n
390
\n00:22:07,600 –> 00:22:09,680
\ntheir swords and they went to
\nMoses. <\/p>\n
391
\n00:22:09,680 –> 00:22:12,720
\nAnd unfortunately, what happens,
\nvery sadly, was the judgement of<\/p>\n
392
\n00:22:12,720 –> 00:22:16,880
\nGod on those people who had cast
\noff all restraint. <\/p>\n
393
\n00:22:18,920 –> 00:22:21,360
\nAnd the Lord destroyed those who
\nare wicked with the sword of the<\/p>\n
394
\n00:22:21,360 –> 00:22:26,560
\nsons of Levi.
\nThis is the result of removing <\/p>\n
395
\n00:22:26,560 –> 00:22:30,200
\nGod from our world, of removing
\nGod from our Society, of <\/p>\n
396
\n00:22:30,200 –> 00:22:33,480
\nremoving God from our family,
\nfrom our ecclesia, from our own <\/p>\n
397
\n00:22:33,480 –> 00:22:37,520
\nminds.
\nBut we were without excuse <\/p>\n
398
\n00:22:37,520 –> 00:22:39,840
\nbecause we know what happens
\nwhen God is not present and we <\/p>\n
399
\n00:22:39,840 –> 00:22:44,760
\nsee it everywhere in the world.
\nSo The thing is, brothers and <\/p>\n
400
\n00:22:44,760 –> 00:22:47,440
\nsisters, is we too are without
\nexcuse. <\/p>\n
401
\n00:22:47,440 –> 00:22:50,400
\nWe know all of these things.
\nWe’ve been given all of these <\/p>\n
402
\n00:22:50,400 –> 00:22:53,920
\nexamples.
\nThe end of of chapter 1 of <\/p>\n
403
\n00:22:53,920 –> 00:22:58,200
\nRomans and verse 32 says, though
\nthey know God’s righteous <\/p>\n
404
\n00:22:58,200 –> 00:23:02,000
\ndecree, that those who practice
\nsuch things deserve to die. <\/p>\n
405
\n00:23:03,600 –> 00:23:05,800
\nThey not only do them, but they
\ngive approval to those who <\/p>\n
406
\n00:23:05,800 –> 00:23:09,720
\npractice them.
\nAnd it’s like when we read about<\/p>\n
407
\n00:23:10,240 –> 00:23:12,280
\nthe nation of Israel and all the
\nthings that they did wrong, it’s<\/p>\n
408
\n00:23:12,280 –> 00:23:14,680
\nlike, Oh, we’re not like that.
\nAnd when we think about the <\/p>\n
409
\n00:23:14,680 –> 00:23:16,680
\ndisciples, you know, and the
\ndisciples just couldn’t <\/p>\n
410
\n00:23:16,680 –> 00:23:18,640
\nunderstand.
\nI, I remember growing up, it’s <\/p>\n
411
\n00:23:18,640 –> 00:23:20,320
\nlike, Oh, I, I would have known
\nthat. <\/p>\n
412
\n00:23:20,320 –> 00:23:23,760
\nLike we, we, we tend to set
\naside some of these examples <\/p>\n
413
\n00:23:23,760 –> 00:23:26,240
\nthat God has given us and said,
\nwe’re, we’re not like that. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:23:26,240 –> 00:23:29,240
\nWe’ll never make that mistake.
\nBut the the interesting thing is<\/p>\n
415
\n00:23:29,240 –> 00:23:34,320
\nwhat Paul says in verse 32 when
\nhe says that we give approval, <\/p>\n
416
\n00:23:34,600 –> 00:23:38,840
\nthe word in the Greek means to
\nassociate with, to have <\/p>\n
417
\n00:23:38,840 –> 00:23:42,600
\ncompanionship with.
\nIt’s not like we’re standing <\/p>\n
418
\n00:23:42,600 –> 00:23:44,200
\nafar off.
\nWe’re saying, ah, you know, I <\/p>\n
419
\n00:23:44,200 –> 00:23:45,720
\ndon’t do that or I don’t do
\nthat. <\/p>\n
420
\n00:23:46,200 –> 00:23:49,120
\nThe problem is president and
\nsisters, that even in our daily <\/p>\n
421
\n00:23:49,120 –> 00:23:53,480
\nlives, we tend to associate with
\nand have companionship with <\/p>\n
422
\n00:23:53,480 –> 00:23:57,160
\npeople who are ungodly.
\nAnd this is one of the questions<\/p>\n
423
\n00:23:57,160 –> 00:23:59,040
\nthat came out at the end.
\nWe did a little workshop with <\/p>\n
424
\n00:23:59,040 –> 00:24:01,360
\nthe young people at the end,
\nwhich was I think was really <\/p>\n
425
\n00:24:01,360 –> 00:24:04,960
\ngreat because their answers were
\nphenomenal, you know, And one of<\/p>\n
426
\n00:24:04,960 –> 00:24:09,640
\nthe things was how difficult it
\nis to separate from somebody <\/p>\n
427
\n00:24:09,640 –> 00:24:13,120
\nthat you’ve grown up with in the
\nworld or that you have a fond <\/p>\n
428
\n00:24:13,120 –> 00:24:16,000
\nassociation with in the truth.
\nAnd this is not just an issue <\/p>\n
429
\n00:24:16,000 –> 00:24:18,560
\nwith young people.
\nThis I think is a bigger issue <\/p>\n
430
\n00:24:18,720 –> 00:24:22,400
\nwith us older people.
\nWe tend to hang on to those <\/p>\n
431
\n00:24:22,400 –> 00:24:25,880
\nrelationships.
\nMarnie and I have done a number <\/p>\n
432
\n00:24:25,880 –> 00:24:30,240
\nof, of have had a number of
\nclasses with, with couples <\/p>\n
433
\n00:24:30,240 –> 00:24:32,040
\ngetting married.
\nAnd one of the things we always <\/p>\n
434
\n00:24:32,040 –> 00:24:35,400
\nbring up is what are you going
\nto do with the people you <\/p>\n
435
\n00:24:35,400 –> 00:24:38,000
\nassociate with in the world?
\nWhat’s going to happen with <\/p>\n
436
\n00:24:38,000 –> 00:24:43,880
\nthose relationships?
\nAs sad as it is, you know, we <\/p>\n
437
\n00:24:43,880 –> 00:24:45,720
\nhave to sever those
\nrelationships. <\/p>\n
438
\n00:24:46,840 –> 00:24:49,240
\nOtherwise we stay in association
\nwith them. <\/p>\n
439
\n00:24:49,240 –> 00:24:52,960
\nWe have companionship with them.
\nAnd before you know it, it leads<\/p>\n
440
\n00:24:52,960 –> 00:24:55,880
\nto justification of the things
\nthat they’re doing. <\/p>\n
441
\n00:24:57,520 –> 00:25:01,800
\nHow many people in the time of
\nMoses with the golden calf stood<\/p>\n
442
\n00:25:01,800 –> 00:25:06,600
\nby and said, that’s amazing,
\nright? <\/p>\n
443
\n00:25:06,640 –> 00:25:09,640
\nAnd didn’t do anything about it
\nand didn’t stand up for truth? <\/p>\n
444
\n00:25:10,520 –> 00:25:13,920
\nRomans chapter 2 and four, let’s
\njust turn that up because we <\/p>\n
445
\n00:25:13,920 –> 00:25:15,760
\nhave, we have a decision to make
\nwhen these things happen. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:25:15,760 –> 00:25:18,360
\nAnd as I said, we can, we can
\nnever look at any scripture and <\/p>\n
447
\n00:25:18,360 –> 00:25:22,440
\nthink, oh, that’s not for me.
\nI think Romans chapter 1 and 2 <\/p>\n
448
\n00:25:22,440 –> 00:25:24,600
\nis absolutely for us as
\nbelievers. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:25:25,000 –> 00:25:31,200
\nRomans chapter 2 and verse 4
\nSpeaking of the mercy of God and<\/p>\n
450
\n00:25:31,200 –> 00:25:34,840
\nwhat it’s intended to do says or
\ndo you presume on the riches of <\/p>\n
451
\n00:25:34,840 –> 00:25:38,200
\nHis kindness and forbearance and
\npatience, not knowing that God’s<\/p>\n
452
\n00:25:38,200 –> 00:25:41,480
\nkindness is meant to lead you to
\nrepentance, But because of your <\/p>\n
453
\n00:25:41,480 –> 00:25:44,200
\nheart and impedance and heart,
\nyou are storing up wrath for <\/p>\n
454
\n00:25:44,200 –> 00:25:47,360
\nyourself on the day of wrath
\nwhen God’s righteous judgment <\/p>\n
455
\n00:25:47,360 –> 00:25:50,200
\nwill be revealed and He will
\nrender to each one according to <\/p>\n
456
\n00:25:50,200 –> 00:25:52,480
\nHis works.
\nAnd So what Paul is presenting <\/p>\n
457
\n00:25:52,480 –> 00:25:55,520
\nto us here are two choices 2
\nresponses that we need to make <\/p>\n
458
\n00:25:55,520 –> 00:25:58,280
\nwhen we identify and understand
\nthe things that are happening in<\/p>\n
459
\n00:25:58,280 –> 00:26:01,080
\nthe world.
\nThe first response is verse 7 to<\/p>\n
460
\n00:26:01,080 –> 00:26:04,760
\nthose who by patience and well
\ndoing seek for glory and honor <\/p>\n
461
\n00:26:04,880 –> 00:26:07,840
\nand immortality.
\nHe will give eternal life. <\/p>\n
462
\n00:26:08,960 –> 00:26:11,880
\nAnd the other direction,
\nthinking about Moses who said <\/p>\n
463
\n00:26:11,920 –> 00:26:14,880
\nyou have to pick a side.
\nIt’s for those who are self <\/p>\n
464
\n00:26:14,880 –> 00:26:17,760
\nseeking and do not obey the
\ntruth but obey unrighteousness. <\/p>\n
465
\n00:26:17,760 –> 00:26:21,080
\nThere will be wrath and fury.
\nThere’ll be tribulation and <\/p>\n
466
\n00:26:21,080 –> 00:26:25,360
\ndistress for every human being
\nwho does evil, but glory and <\/p>\n
467
\n00:26:25,360 –> 00:26:28,200
\nhonor and peace for everyone who
\ndoes good. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:26:28,360 –> 00:26:30,280
\nOne of the questions that was
\nasked, which I thought was <\/p>\n
469
\n00:26:30,280 –> 00:26:35,520
\ngreat, is.
\nHow do you know when to cut <\/p>\n
470
\n00:26:35,520 –> 00:26:37,440
\nsomebody off?
\nHow do you know when that <\/p>\n
471
\n00:26:37,440 –> 00:26:40,120
\nfriendship has reached the point
\nof no return? <\/p>\n
472
\n00:26:42,120 –> 00:26:44,120
\nThat’s hard because we think we
\ncan save. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:26:44,120 –> 00:26:45,920
\nPeople.
\nRight. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:26:45,920 –> 00:26:49,960
\nWe think if that our association
\nwill somehow sanctify these <\/p>\n
475
\n00:26:49,960 –> 00:26:51,960
\npeople.
\nAnd I’m not saying it doesn’t <\/p>\n
476
\n00:26:51,960 –> 00:26:53,800
\nhappen.
\nI’m not saying it it shouldn’t <\/p>\n
477
\n00:26:53,800 –> 00:26:56,160
\nhappen and I am saying it does
\nhappen. <\/p>\n
478
\n00:26:56,160 –> 00:26:58,200
\nPeople come into the.
\nTruth because of association <\/p>\n
479
\n00:26:58,200 –> 00:27:02,600
\nwith those in in in Christ.
\nThe problem is we have to know <\/p>\n
480
\n00:27:02,720 –> 00:27:06,560
\nspecifically when we start to
\nveer off in their direction. <\/p>\n
481
\n00:27:06,560 –> 00:27:08,800
\nAnd as soon as that happens and
\nwe realize. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:27:09,200 –> 00:27:13,280
\nThat we can no longer stay on
\nthe straight and narrow path. <\/p>\n
483
\n00:27:13,440 –> 00:27:15,080
\nThat’s when we have to sever
\nthat relationship. <\/p>\n
484
\n00:27:15,080 –> 00:27:17,480
\nAnd that was a comment that came
\nup from the young people is that<\/p>\n
485
\n00:27:17,480 –> 00:27:19,400
\nthat’s a really hard thing to
\ndefine. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:27:19,760 –> 00:27:22,560
\nThink of how difficult it is for
\nus and all of our additional <\/p>\n
487
\n00:27:22,560 –> 00:27:26,480
\njustifications.
\nSo, so so, So what are we? <\/p>\n
488
\n00:27:26,480 –> 00:27:28,960
\nDoing Do we?
\nExpect that we can rewrite all <\/p>\n
489
\n00:27:28,960 –> 00:27:32,400
\nthe principles of God that that
\ndeem us righteous and then <\/p>\n
490
\n00:27:32,400 –> 00:27:34,240
\nchange them.
\nDo we think we can modify? <\/p>\n
491
\n00:27:34,240 –> 00:27:38,000
\nDo you think we can accommodate
\nthe truth, hoping and thinking <\/p>\n
492
\n00:27:38,000 –> 00:27:40,800
\nthat maybe this problem will go
\naway or this person will change,<\/p>\n
493
\n00:27:40,800 –> 00:27:44,240
\nor, you know, somehow we will be
\nable to resolve that conflict <\/p>\n
494
\n00:27:44,240 –> 00:27:47,920
\nInstead of standing up for truth
\nand saying, I can no longer <\/p>\n
495
\n00:27:48,240 –> 00:27:54,640
\ntolerate this issue because we,
\nwe, we think things like, well, <\/p>\n
496
\n00:27:54,640 –> 00:27:56,720
\nmaybe.
\nAnd I’ve heard that I have. <\/p>\n
497
\n00:27:56,720 –> 00:27:58,520
\nLiterally heard this in the
\ntruth. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:28:00,480 –> 00:28:04,120
\nYou know, Sean, maybe.
\nAll of God’s laws are not right.<\/p>\n
499
\n00:28:06,040 –> 00:28:10,000
\nYou know, maybe God is not.
\nAware of the complexity of the <\/p>\n
500
\n00:28:10,000 –> 00:28:16,120
\nsocial order today, you know,
\nand brother Mark Hunter said to <\/p>\n
501
\n00:28:16,120 –> 00:28:19,640
\nme, and I’m going to like, I’m
\nsuper bad at remembering stuff, <\/p>\n
502
\n00:28:19,640 –> 00:28:21,400
\nso I’m going to like, really
\nbadly paraphrases. <\/p>\n
503
\n00:28:21,760 –> 00:28:23,240
\nAnd he heard this from somebody
\nelse. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:28:23,240 –> 00:28:24,080
\nLike isn’t.
\nIt, he said. <\/p>\n
505
\n00:28:24,080 –> 00:28:30,480
\nIsn’t it funny?
\nThat all of the principles and <\/p>\n
506
\n00:28:30,480 –> 00:28:35,320
\nthe doctrines that we’re told we
\nnow have wrong just seemed to <\/p>\n
507
\n00:28:35,320 –> 00:28:41,200
\nalign with the new social order.
\nAnd when he said funny, he <\/p>\n
508
\n00:28:41,200 –> 00:28:44,680
\ndidn’t mean funny, he meant
\nlike. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:28:44,680 –> 00:28:48,760
\nSad that all the things that
\nwere challenging today in the <\/p>\n
510
\n00:28:48,760 –> 00:28:52,440
\ntruth, in our cliches, in our
\nfamilies, just happened to align<\/p>\n
511
\n00:28:52,560 –> 00:28:54,920
\nwith all the pressures of the
\nworld that are coming at us. <\/p>\n
512
\n00:28:55,800 –> 00:28:59,400
\nIt’s, it’s uncanny.
\nAnd, and this is also why I <\/p>\n
513
\n00:28:59,400 –> 00:29:03,200
\nthink God is so merciful to us.
\nIt’s, it’s not like it’s <\/p>\n
514
\n00:29:03,200 –> 00:29:06,320
\ndifficult to sort this out, but
\nif we have the mind of the <\/p>\n
515
\n00:29:06,320 –> 00:29:09,000
\ntruth, we will.
\nAnd if we’re tainted by the <\/p>\n
516
\n00:29:09,000 –> 00:29:11,120
\ndarkness of the world, then we
\nwon’t. <\/p>\n
517
\n00:29:11,320 –> 00:29:14,800
\nAnd that is, that’s the fine
\nline that we walk. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:29:16,800 –> 00:29:20,240
\nSome of the things that I’ve
\nheard in the ecclesial world are<\/p>\n
519
\n00:29:20,240 –> 00:29:29,160
\nactually frightening.
\nNow here’s here’s one I’ve heard<\/p>\n
520
\n00:29:29,160 –> 00:29:33,680
\nbrothers and sisters now not
\nusing the term husband and wife.<\/p>\n
521
\n00:29:35,680 –> 00:29:39,760
\nThey refer them as partner and
\nask, well, why? <\/p>\n
522
\n00:29:39,800 –> 00:29:42,760
\nWell, because, you know, at
\nwork, that’s kind of. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:29:43,240 –> 00:29:47,760
\nYou know those words, husband
\nand wife, they’re violent <\/p>\n
524
\n00:29:48,920 –> 00:29:51,240
\nbecause if you’re not a husband
\nor wife and then you’re <\/p>\n
525
\n00:29:51,240 –> 00:29:53,720
\nexcluded.
\nSo we just use partner because <\/p>\n
526
\n00:29:53,720 –> 00:29:56,240
\nit’s, it’s representative.
\nEvery anybody can have a <\/p>\n
527
\n00:29:56,240 –> 00:29:59,520
\npartner.
\nWell, it’s not scripturally <\/p>\n
528
\n00:29:59,720 –> 00:30:03,160
\nrepresentative of the
\nrelationship between man and <\/p>\n
529
\n00:30:03,160 –> 00:30:04,800
\nwoman.
\nAnd it’s not only that, but but <\/p>\n
530
\n00:30:04,800 –> 00:30:07,160
\nyou’ll notice that there this is
\nin Canada. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:30:07,160 –> 00:30:10,400
\nI think the US is thankfully a
\nlittle bit further behind on <\/p>\n
532
\n00:30:10,400 –> 00:30:13,240
\nthis.
\nThey’re scrubbing terms from <\/p>\n
533
\n00:30:13,520 –> 00:30:17,520
\ntextbooks in school.
\nLike husband, wife, brother, <\/p>\n
534
\n00:30:17,680 –> 00:30:21,240
\nsister, mother, father.
\nThey’re scrubbing those all out <\/p>\n
535
\n00:30:21,240 –> 00:30:24,960
\nand using these sort of neutral,
\nambiguous terms because, well, <\/p>\n
536
\n00:30:25,080 –> 00:30:26,920
\nnot everybody’s a brother.
\nNot everybody. <\/p>\n
537
\n00:30:26,920 –> 00:30:29,480
\nCan be a mother, right?
\nNot, not everybody can be a <\/p>\n
538
\n00:30:29,480 –> 00:30:30,880
\nfather.
\nOh, that’s unfair. <\/p>\n
539
\n00:30:32,280 –> 00:30:34,520
\nAnd we, we talked about this.
\nI think it was a breakfast or <\/p>\n
540
\n00:30:34,520 –> 00:30:38,040
\ndinner.
\nI I forget about how illogical <\/p>\n
541
\n00:30:38,600 –> 00:30:40,400
\nsome of these things actually
\nare. <\/p>\n
542
\n00:30:41,400 –> 00:30:43,920
\nAnd we’ll, we’ll, we’ll dive
\ninto a few of those, God <\/p>\n
543
\n00:30:43,920 –> 00:30:45,360
\nwilling, in the next couple of
\ndays. <\/p>\n
544
\n00:30:45,360 –> 00:30:48,960
\nI just, you know, you know,
\nwhat’s happening in society and,<\/p>\n
545
\n00:30:48,960 –> 00:30:52,240
\nand literature in school and,
\nand, and the curriculum is, is <\/p>\n
546
\n00:30:52,240 –> 00:30:54,800
\ncreeping into our ecclesias
\nthat, that we could actually <\/p>\n
547
\n00:30:54,800 –> 00:30:57,280
\neven think that that’s OK to
\nchange that term. <\/p>\n
548
\n00:30:57,360 –> 00:30:59,960
\nIt’s just a word, right?
\nIt’s just the word, but it’s not<\/p>\n
549
\n00:30:59,960 –> 00:31:03,800
\njust the word.
\nIt’s a spiritual concept that <\/p>\n
550
\n00:31:03,800 –> 00:31:07,280
\nGod gave us that we would be one
\nman and one woman and we would <\/p>\n
551
\n00:31:07,280 –> 00:31:10,080
\nform the ecclesia of God on that
\nbasis. <\/p>\n
552
\n00:31:12,720 –> 00:31:17,880
\nNow we know that on the extreme
\nside of things, there are <\/p>\n
553
\n00:31:17,880 –> 00:31:23,480
\ncliches that have already
\ncompletely capitulated to <\/p>\n
554
\n00:31:23,480 –> 00:31:25,640
\nworldly thinking and practice.
\nThis is not something we talked <\/p>\n
555
\n00:31:25,640 –> 00:31:28,360
\nabout with the young people that
\nallow alternative lifestyles <\/p>\n
556
\n00:31:28,720 –> 00:31:32,720
\nthat have already transitioned.
\nAll of the biblical roles for <\/p>\n
557
\n00:31:32,720 –> 00:31:34,120
\nmen and women turn them upside
\ndown. <\/p>\n
558
\n00:31:34,520 –> 00:31:38,880
\nThey they promote alternate
\nexplanations for shocking acts <\/p>\n
559
\n00:31:38,880 –> 00:31:42,560
\nof evil.
\nHere’s 1A Bible class on <\/p>\n
560
\n00:31:42,560 –> 00:31:45,680
\nhomosexuality using Sodom and
\nGomorrah. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:31:45,880 –> 00:31:49,120
\nYou know why God destroyed Sodom
\nand Gomorrah was because they <\/p>\n
562
\n00:31:49,120 –> 00:31:51,560
\nweren’t hospitable to Lot’s
\nfriends. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:31:52,040 –> 00:31:55,200
\nThat’s the explanation.
\nAnd in the New Testament, when <\/p>\n
564
\n00:31:55,200 –> 00:31:58,560
\nPaul talks about it and condemns
\nit, what Paul really meant was, <\/p>\n
565
\n00:31:58,560 –> 00:32:02,400
\nwell, only if it’s idolatrous or
\nonly if it’s in fornication. <\/p>\n
566
\n00:32:02,400 –> 00:32:06,000
\nBut a loving relationship, a
\nloving LGBTQ relationship, well,<\/p>\n
567
\n00:32:06,000 –> 00:32:08,480
\nthat is acceptable by God.
\nThat’s a Bible class that you <\/p>\n
568
\n00:32:08,480 –> 00:32:10,840
\ncan download from a
\nChristadelphian ecclesia right <\/p>\n
569
\n00:32:10,840 –> 00:32:12,040
\nnow.
\nI believe it’s still there <\/p>\n
570
\n00:32:12,040 –> 00:32:15,320
\nonline.
\nSo you have ecclesias that are <\/p>\n
571
\n00:32:15,320 –> 00:32:20,600
\nalready a reimagining God’s
\ntruth and reprinting it in a way<\/p>\n
572
\n00:32:20,600 –> 00:32:27,120
\nthat is completely ungodly, you
\nknow? <\/p>\n
573
\n00:32:28,440 –> 00:32:33,760
\nIt’s sad because the other
\nimpact that we have is with our <\/p>\n
574
\n00:32:33,760 –> 00:32:38,040
\nextended family and I and I say
\nwith my extended family too. <\/p>\n
575
\n00:32:38,040 –> 00:32:40,200
\nSo, so we all have family who
\nare not in the truth. <\/p>\n
576
\n00:32:41,440 –> 00:32:43,560
\nAnd sometimes we go to a family
\ngathering, a big dinner, <\/p>\n
577
\n00:32:43,560 –> 00:32:46,120
\nsomething that you you have
\nthose kind of radical members of<\/p>\n
578
\n00:32:46,120 –> 00:32:52,240
\nthe family who are pro Kamala
\nHarris or pro Trudeau or you <\/p>\n
579
\n00:32:52,240 –> 00:32:53,600
\nknow.
\nThey’re liberal, they’re <\/p>\n
580
\n00:32:53,600 –> 00:32:57,040
\nprogressive, they talk about
\nthings like, you know, abortion <\/p>\n
581
\n00:32:57,040 –> 00:32:59,120
\nand you know, women should have
\nthe right to do all this like. <\/p>\n
582
\n00:32:59,120 –> 00:33:03,040
\nAnd so, so those conversation
\nhappen and and there are those <\/p>\n
583
\n00:33:03,040 –> 00:33:06,520
\nwho who will then sit idly by
\nand not say anything because <\/p>\n
584
\n00:33:06,520 –> 00:33:07,800
\nthey don’t want to create any
\nissues. <\/p>\n
585
\n00:33:07,800 –> 00:33:10,440
\nThey don’t want to, they want to
\nrock the boat within their, the <\/p>\n
586
\n00:33:10,440 –> 00:33:12,360
\nbroader family.
\nBut all these things are heard <\/p>\n
587
\n00:33:12,360 –> 00:33:15,480
\nby their kids and other people.
\nAnd eventually you hear that <\/p>\n
588
\n00:33:15,480 –> 00:33:18,480
\nenough and you want to you want
\nto keep access to your <\/p>\n
589
\n00:33:18,560 –> 00:33:21,320
\ngrandchildren, right?
\nAnd so. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:33:22,440 –> 00:33:23,640
\nYou kind of just go along with
\nit. <\/p>\n
591
\n00:33:26,640 –> 00:33:29,840
\nIt’s a good thing Marty’s not
\nhere because but I’ll say this <\/p>\n
592
\n00:33:29,840 –> 00:33:31,280
\nwhile she’s not here, and so
\ndon’t tell her. <\/p>\n
593
\n00:33:32,440 –> 00:33:34,920
\nAnd I’m not talking about.
\nPolitical ideology. <\/p>\n
594
\n00:33:35,920 –> 00:33:41,280
\nBut as believers in Christ, we
\nshould be fundamentally <\/p>\n
595
\n00:33:41,520 –> 00:33:46,120
\nconservative, conservative,
\nsmall C conservative in our <\/p>\n
596
\n00:33:46,120 –> 00:33:49,640
\noutlook on life.
\nWe believe in the traditional <\/p>\n
597
\n00:33:49,640 –> 00:33:52,120
\nfamily.
\nWe believe in traditional roles,<\/p>\n
598
\n00:33:52,400 –> 00:33:54,320
\nwe believe in God’s presence in
\nour life. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:33:54,520 –> 00:33:57,520
\nWe believe in obedience and
\naccountability and being <\/p>\n
600
\n00:33:57,520 –> 00:33:59,560
\ngoverned not by self but by
\nGod’s law. <\/p>\n
601
\n00:33:59,560 –> 00:34:01,560
\nSo those are all conservative
\nvalues. <\/p>\n
602
\n00:34:02,320 –> 00:34:07,320
\nAnd I, I, I, I, I, I think the
\nproblem is, is that we are in <\/p>\n
603
\n00:34:07,320 –> 00:34:12,560
\nsome ways and in some places
\nturning left and becoming <\/p>\n
604
\n00:34:13,000 –> 00:34:20,800
\nprogressively liberal.
\nIt says in Acts 20, the apostle <\/p>\n
605
\n00:34:20,800 –> 00:34:23,199
\nPaul, pay careful attention
\nyourselves into all the flock of<\/p>\n
606
\n00:34:23,199 –> 00:34:25,760
\nwhich the Holy Spirit has made
\nyou overseers, to care for the <\/p>\n
607
\n00:34:25,760 –> 00:34:27,639
\necclesia of God, which he
\nobtained with his own blood. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:34:28,600 –> 00:34:38,159
\nI know that after my departure,
\nfierce wolves will come in among<\/p>\n
609
\n00:34:38,159 –> 00:34:42,400
\nyou, not sparing the flock.
\nAnd from among your own selves <\/p>\n
610
\n00:34:42,920 –> 00:34:46,320
\nwill arise men speaking twisted
\nthings to draw away disciples <\/p>\n
611
\n00:34:46,320 –> 00:34:49,280
\nafter them.
\nAnd this, this, this is actually<\/p>\n
612
\n00:34:49,280 –> 00:34:52,679
\nhappening, Brothers and sisters,
\nit’s happening. <\/p>\n
613
\n00:34:52,679 –> 00:34:55,880
\nIt’s happening a lot.
\nIt’s happening, I think, more <\/p>\n
614
\n00:34:55,880 –> 00:34:59,200
\nthan you think it’s happening.
\nEven in a. <\/p>\n
615
\n00:34:59,200 –> 00:35:01,720
\nConservative ecclesia, you go on
\nand ask them, you know, have you<\/p>\n
616
\n00:35:01,720 –> 00:35:03,080
\nlistened to this certain
\nbrothers class? <\/p>\n
617
\n00:35:03,080 –> 00:35:05,040
\nOh yeah, yeah, yeah.
\nListen to that class. <\/p>\n
618
\n00:35:05,040 –> 00:35:09,080
\nIt’s, it’s great.
\nI’m like, I’m not going to say <\/p>\n
619
\n00:35:09,080 –> 00:35:10,200
\nwho it is.
\nIf you want to know, I’ll tell <\/p>\n
620
\n00:35:10,200 –> 00:35:13,040
\nyou after.
\nBut it’s, it’s not great. <\/p>\n
621
\n00:35:13,040 –> 00:35:15,720
\nI’ll tell you it’s not great.
\nAnd and it’s and it’s ungodly <\/p>\n
622
\n00:35:15,720 –> 00:35:19,280
\nand it’s unscriptural.
\nThe apostle Paul says in Romans <\/p>\n
623
\n00:35:19,280 –> 00:35:20,960
\nChapter 9, verse 20.
\nBut who are you? <\/p>\n
624
\n00:35:22,560 –> 00:35:26,400
\nO men, answer back to God.
\nWell, what does molded say to <\/p>\n
625
\n00:35:26,400 –> 00:35:27,760
\nits molder?
\nWhy have you made me? <\/p>\n
626
\n00:35:27,760 –> 00:35:31,440
\nThus has the Potter no right
\nover the clay, to make out of <\/p>\n
627
\n00:35:31,440 –> 00:35:33,960
\nthe same lump 1 vessel for
\nhonor, and one vessel for <\/p>\n
628
\n00:35:33,960 –> 00:35:36,520
\ndishonorable use.
\nAnd so God will determine what <\/p>\n
629
\n00:35:36,520 –> 00:35:42,080
\nHe will do with those people.
\nHe has chosen to be in a <\/p>\n
630
\n00:35:42,080 –> 00:35:45,600
\nposition of those who are
\nhonorable and those who are <\/p>\n
631
\n00:35:45,600 –> 00:35:48,200
\ndishonorable.
\nAnd we have to decide and judge <\/p>\n
632
\n00:35:48,360 –> 00:35:53,200
\nwhich ones those are.
\nAnd so how else are we without <\/p>\n
633
\n00:35:53,200 –> 00:35:56,800
\nexcuse?
\nWe have been given by God the <\/p>\n
634
\n00:35:56,800 –> 00:36:00,880
\nability to discern things
\nspiritually and scripturally. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:36:01,640 –> 00:36:03,520
\nWe quoted this yesterday in
\nColossians 2 and 8. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:36:03,520 –> 00:36:05,560
\nSee to that no one takes you
\ncaptive through hollow and <\/p>\n
637
\n00:36:05,560 –> 00:36:08,520
\ndeceptive philosophy which
\ndepend on human, human <\/p>\n
638
\n00:36:08,520 –> 00:36:11,680
\ntradition.
\nWe must test the spirits that <\/p>\n
639
\n00:36:11,680 –> 00:36:16,040
\nthey be of God.
\nAnd you know, we have to know we<\/p>\n
640
\n00:36:16,040 –> 00:36:17,520
\nwill be persecuted.
\nWe will feel pressure. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:36:17,520 –> 00:36:19,160
\nI asked the teens.
\nI said, do you feel the pressure<\/p>\n
642
\n00:36:19,160 –> 00:36:22,080
\nto conform to society?
\nAnd a lot of hands went up. <\/p>\n
643
\n00:36:22,680 –> 00:36:26,920
\nA lot of hands went up.
\nI feel pressured by society. <\/p>\n
644
\n00:36:28,240 –> 00:36:31,160
\nSecond Timothy 3 and 12 says, in
\nfact, everyone who wants to live<\/p>\n
645
\n00:36:31,160 –> 00:36:33,760
\na godly life in Christ will be
\npersecuted, while evildoers and <\/p>\n
646
\n00:36:33,760 –> 00:36:35,840
\nimpostors will go from bad to
\nworse, deceiving and being <\/p>\n
647
\n00:36:35,840 –> 00:36:37,360
\ndeceived.
\nSee, here’s this is exactly <\/p>\n
648
\n00:36:37,360 –> 00:36:39,960
\nwhat’s happening.
\nIf you’re a Christian, if you’re<\/p>\n
649
\n00:36:39,960 –> 00:36:43,800
\na God fearing Christian and you,
\nyou, you live your life on godly<\/p>\n
650
\n00:36:43,800 –> 00:36:46,320
\nprinciples, you will be
\ncondemned for doing that. <\/p>\n
651
\n00:36:46,680 –> 00:36:48,920
\nThat’s what’s that’s what’s
\nhappening in today’s society. <\/p>\n
652
\n00:36:49,320 –> 00:36:52,880
\nBut those who are wantonly
\nfalling off of after their own <\/p>\n
653
\n00:36:52,880 –> 00:36:54,920
\nsin, they’re actually
\ncelebrated. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:36:56,480 –> 00:36:58,400
\nAnd all you have to do is just
\nlook into the world and you will<\/p>\n
655
\n00:36:58,400 –> 00:37:02,440
\nsee that.
\nAnd so we’ve been warned, <\/p>\n
656
\n00:37:02,440 –> 00:37:04,520
\nbrethren and sisters, about all
\nof these things. <\/p>\n
657
\n00:37:04,520 –> 00:37:05,760
\nWhat else have we been warned
\nabout? <\/p>\n
658
\n00:37:06,280 –> 00:37:09,720
\nWell, we’ve been warned about
\nthe difference between false <\/p>\n
659
\n00:37:09,720 –> 00:37:12,840
\nteachers and doctrines.
\nAnd we if we know the truth, we <\/p>\n
660
\n00:37:12,840 –> 00:37:15,800
\ncan apply that filter.
\nPeter says in second Peter <\/p>\n
661
\n00:37:15,800 –> 00:37:17,160
\nchapter 2.
\nBut there’ll also be false <\/p>\n
662
\n00:37:17,160 –> 00:37:19,480
\nprophets among you, just as
\nthere were false teachers among <\/p>\n
663
\n00:37:19,480 –> 00:37:21,320
\nyou.
\nThey will secretly introduce <\/p>\n
664
\n00:37:21,320 –> 00:37:23,880
\ndestructive heresies, even
\ndenying the sovereign Lord who <\/p>\n
665
\n00:37:23,880 –> 00:37:26,640
\nbrought them, who bought them,
\nbringing swift destruction on <\/p>\n
666
\n00:37:26,640 –> 00:37:28,520
\nthemselves.
\nAnd many will follow after their<\/p>\n
667
\n00:37:28,520 –> 00:37:32,640
\ndepraved conduct and we’ll bring
\nthe way of truth into disrepute.<\/p>\n
668
\n00:37:32,640 –> 00:37:36,000
\nAnd so we have a responsibility
\nto uphold biblical doctrine, and<\/p>\n
669
\n00:37:36,000 –> 00:37:38,840
\nthat’s it’s not always an easy
\nthing and sometimes that creates<\/p>\n
670
\n00:37:38,840 –> 00:37:40,600
\nconflict.
\nAnd so we have to do it in the <\/p>\n
671
\n00:37:40,800 –> 00:37:43,640
\nthe right and appropriate way.
\nBut when we see something in our<\/p>\n
672
\n00:37:43,640 –> 00:37:48,960
\necclesia entering in, we cannot.
\nWait, we have to deal with it. <\/p>\n
673
\n00:37:48,960 –> 00:37:56,720
\nIt says in first Timothy chapter
\n4, the spirit clearly says that <\/p>\n
674
\n00:37:56,720 –> 00:37:59,080
\nin later time, some will
\nabandoned the faith and follow <\/p>\n
675
\n00:37:59,080 –> 00:38:01,440
\ndeceiving spirits and things
\nthat are taught by demons. <\/p>\n
676
\n00:38:01,440 –> 00:38:05,080
\nAnd, and we have to we have to
\ncatch them before they’re gone, <\/p>\n
677
\n00:38:05,800 –> 00:38:08,680
\nbefore these things undermine
\nother people, undermine our <\/p>\n
678
\n00:38:08,680 –> 00:38:14,480
\ncliches, undermine families.
\nHow else are we without excuse? <\/p>\n
679
\n00:38:15,400 –> 00:38:19,320
\nWell, we, we know about the
\nmoral decay and lawlessness that<\/p>\n
680
\n00:38:19,320 –> 00:38:24,000
\nis happening now.
\nI don’t know how many of you, so<\/p>\n
681
\n00:38:24,000 –> 00:38:26,720
\nI got to be careful.
\nI’ll condemn myself here, but I <\/p>\n
682
\n00:38:26,720 –> 00:38:29,000
\nkind of been watching the news
\nwhile I’ve been up here. <\/p>\n
683
\n00:38:30,200 –> 00:38:32,920
\nI know I shouldn’t, but a lot of
\nthings are going on in Israel <\/p>\n
684
\n00:38:32,920 –> 00:38:37,120
\nright now, including some
\nincursions by Hezbollah just <\/p>\n
685
\n00:38:37,480 –> 00:38:42,080
\njust this morning and, and, and,
\nand, and I get tired of looking <\/p>\n
686
\n00:38:42,080 –> 00:38:44,840
\nat the news because it’s, it’s
\nliterally all bad. <\/p>\n
687
\n00:38:45,200 –> 00:38:48,520
\nIt’s just all lawlessness.
\nIt’s, it’s mobs of hundreds of <\/p>\n
688
\n00:38:48,520 –> 00:38:52,280
\npeople running into, you know,
\nshopping malls and just stealing<\/p>\n
689
\n00:38:52,280 –> 00:38:54,560
\neverything.
\nAnd, you know, when they, when <\/p>\n
690
\n00:38:54,560 –> 00:38:57,440
\nthey finally catch some of these
\npeople and they interview them, <\/p>\n
691
\n00:38:58,200 –> 00:39:02,040
\ntheir answers are, are crazy.
\nThey don’t. <\/p>\n
692
\n00:39:02,640 –> 00:39:05,040
\nThink that what they’re doing is
\nwrong. <\/p>\n
693
\n00:39:05,520 –> 00:39:10,640
\nMany of them they don’t think Do
\nyou know that the number one, <\/p>\n
694
\n00:39:11,600 –> 00:39:17,080
\nthe number one crime for 18 to
\n28 year olds is. <\/p>\n
695
\n00:39:19,320 –> 00:39:25,920
\nNow is cheating on their taxes
\nand and they they justify it <\/p>\n
696
\n00:39:26,080 –> 00:39:31,120
\nbecause they say things like the
\ngovernment takes too much or I <\/p>\n
697
\n00:39:31,120 –> 00:39:33,720
\ndeserve to have.
\nMore or they don’t understand my<\/p>\n
698
\n00:39:33,720 –> 00:39:38,280
\nsituation like so we’re changing
\nmorals to justify doing things, <\/p>\n
699
\n00:39:38,280 –> 00:39:40,360
\njust standard things.
\nAnd so we know these things are <\/p>\n
700
\n00:39:40,360 –> 00:39:41,320
\nhappening.
\nWe know they’re out there. <\/p>\n
701
\n00:39:41,320 –> 00:39:44,320
\nBut mark this the apostle Paul
\nsays to Timothy, there will be <\/p>\n
702
\n00:39:44,320 –> 00:39:46,960
\nterrible times in the last days.
\nPeople be lovers of themselves, <\/p>\n
703
\n00:39:46,960 –> 00:39:50,240
\nlovers of money, boastful,
\nproud, abusive, disobedient to <\/p>\n
704
\n00:39:50,240 –> 00:39:52,680
\ntheir parents, ungrateful,
\nunholy, without love, <\/p>\n
705
\n00:39:52,680 –> 00:39:55,760
\nunforgiving, slanderous, without
\nself-control, brutal, not lovers<\/p>\n
706
\n00:39:56,040 –> 00:39:59,920
\nof good, treacherous, rash,
\nconceited, lovers of pleasure <\/p>\n
707
\n00:39:59,920 –> 00:40:01,840
\nrather than lovers of God,
\nhaving a form of guideless, but <\/p>\n
708
\n00:40:01,840 –> 00:40:04,120
\ndenying its power.
\nHave nothing to do with these <\/p>\n
709
\n00:40:04,120 –> 00:40:08,880
\npeople and and I know that these
\nfirst few classes are very dark <\/p>\n
710
\n00:40:08,880 –> 00:40:11,440
\nand they’re very negative and I
\napologize for that. <\/p>\n
711
\n00:40:12,720 –> 00:40:16,760
\nIt is the reality of what we
\nhave to deal with every day. <\/p>\n
712
\n00:40:17,240 –> 00:40:18,960
\nAnd so we’ve been warned we’re
\nwithout excuse. <\/p>\n
713
\n00:40:19,080 –> 00:40:22,880
\nWe know about the moral decay
\nand the lawlessness and we know <\/p>\n
714
\n00:40:22,880 –> 00:40:25,760
\nwhat the Lord Jesus Christ said.
\nAnd so here’s I take this as <\/p>\n
715
\n00:40:25,760 –> 00:40:29,840
\npositive, and I’ve said this to
\na few of you here. <\/p>\n
716
\n00:40:29,840 –> 00:40:34,320
\nIt’s like God is throwing
\neverything on the table for us. <\/p>\n
717
\n00:40:36,360 –> 00:40:38,880
\nYou know, we just looked at the
\nat Hezekiah’s boulet. <\/p>\n
718
\n00:40:38,880 –> 00:40:43,520
\nThat was like even little things
\nlike that I find just fantastic.<\/p>\n
719
\n00:40:43,520 –> 00:40:46,160
\nIt’s like God, let’s let them
\nhave that. <\/p>\n
720
\n00:40:46,800 –> 00:40:48,680
\nBut he’s throwing everything on
\nthe table for us. <\/p>\n
721
\n00:40:48,680 –> 00:40:51,520
\nHe’s given us everything in
\nterms of the moral decline in <\/p>\n
722
\n00:40:51,520 –> 00:40:54,280
\nsociety, everything that the
\nLord Jesus Christ said in <\/p>\n
723
\n00:40:54,280 –> 00:40:57,080
\nMatthew 24 and Luke 21.
\nIt’s happening now. <\/p>\n
724
\n00:40:57,080 –> 00:40:59,280
\nLike all of it, like literally
\nall of it. <\/p>\n
725
\n00:41:00,040 –> 00:41:01,880
\nAnd you’ll hear of wars, rumors
\nof wars. <\/p>\n
726
\n00:41:01,880 –> 00:41:03,480
\nCheck.
\nSee, we not be alarmed. <\/p>\n
727
\n00:41:03,560 –> 00:41:06,280
\nThis will take place at the end
\nas nation will be against <\/p>\n
728
\n00:41:06,280 –> 00:41:09,600
\nnation, yes, Kingdom, against
\nfamines, earthquakes in various <\/p>\n
729
\n00:41:09,600 –> 00:41:12,280
\nplaces, lawlessness, all these
\nthings, they’re just literally <\/p>\n
730
\n00:41:12,280 –> 00:41:14,920
\nhappening.
\nAnd on top of that, God is <\/p>\n
731
\n00:41:14,920 –> 00:41:17,720
\ngiving us incredible prophetic
\nresults. <\/p>\n
732
\n00:41:19,120 –> 00:41:23,720
\nSo we know about, you know,
\nPsalm 83 and Hezbollah and in <\/p>\n
733
\n00:41:23,720 –> 00:41:25,960
\nGaza, all those things are
\nliterally happening right now. <\/p>\n
734
\n00:41:25,960 –> 00:41:29,400
\nAnd I know it’s been going on
\nfor a year, but we we’d lose <\/p>\n
735
\n00:41:29,400 –> 00:41:34,520
\ntrack of how prophetically
\nimportant this is and, and how <\/p>\n
736
\n00:41:34,520 –> 00:41:38,160
\nthat, you know, for a long time
\nnow Russia’s been aligned with <\/p>\n
737
\n00:41:38,160 –> 00:41:39,120
\nIran and we’re.
\nKind of like. <\/p>\n
738
\n00:41:39,520 –> 00:41:41,440
\nGive me something new.
\nWell, now Russia’s aligned with <\/p>\n
739
\n00:41:41,440 –> 00:41:45,480
\nSudan, Ethiopia, so all those
\npowers are coming together and, <\/p>\n
740
\n00:41:45,480 –> 00:41:48,280
\nand now we’ve got the threat of
\nIran attacking Israel again. <\/p>\n
741
\n00:41:48,280 –> 00:41:52,280
\nWe’ve got the, the US just sent
\na nuclear submarine with nuclear<\/p>\n
742
\n00:41:52,280 –> 00:41:54,480
\nwarheads is now heading now to
\nthe Middle East. <\/p>\n
743
\n00:41:54,680 –> 00:41:58,840
\nThey’ve got 3 battle groups, 3
\naircraft carriers, hundreds of <\/p>\n
744
\n00:41:58,840 –> 00:41:59,920
\njets and planes.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
745
\n00:42:00,080 –> 00:42:01,880
\nthe US knows something’s going
\nto happen. <\/p>\n
746
\n00:42:03,560 –> 00:42:08,000
\nThe Ukraine you probably saw
\nyesterday or the day before <\/p>\n
747
\n00:42:08,880 –> 00:42:12,680
\ninvaded Russia.
\nThey’re in Russia with one or <\/p>\n
748
\n00:42:12,680 –> 00:42:14,600
\ntwo battalions and they’re
\nactually making headway. <\/p>\n
749
\n00:42:14,600 –> 00:42:18,320
\nThey’re like 40 kilometers
\ninside that eastern region of <\/p>\n
750
\n00:42:18,320 –> 00:42:21,040
\nRussia.
\nLike they’re in Ukraine’s gone <\/p>\n
751
\n00:42:21,040 –> 00:42:22,680
\nin.
\nThis is the land of Mego that’s <\/p>\n
752
\n00:42:22,680 –> 00:42:26,280
\nbeing attacked back and forth.
\nLike God couldn’t give us <\/p>\n
753
\n00:42:26,320 –> 00:42:33,560
\nanything else to remind us that
\nhe is in control. <\/p>\n
754
\n00:42:35,680 –> 00:42:39,920
\nAll these things Christ says in
\nMatthew 24. <\/p>\n
755
\n00:42:42,520 –> 00:42:46,440
\nAre just the beginning of birth
\npangs, and they will deliver you<\/p>\n
756
\n00:42:46,440 –> 00:42:49,080
\nup to tribulation and put you to
\ndeath, and you’ll be hated by <\/p>\n
757
\n00:42:49,080 –> 00:42:51,520
\nall nations for my name’s sake.
\nAnd then many will fall away and<\/p>\n
758
\n00:42:51,520 –> 00:42:53,080
\nbetray one another and hate one
\nanother. <\/p>\n
759
\n00:42:53,080 –> 00:42:55,280
\nMany false prophets will arise
\nand lead many astray. <\/p>\n
760
\n00:42:55,280 –> 00:42:58,880
\nAnd because lawlessness will be
\nincreased, the love of many will<\/p>\n
761
\n00:42:58,880 –> 00:43:04,560
\ngrow old.
\nWhat is happening in the world <\/p>\n
762
\n00:43:04,560 –> 00:43:08,600
\nis frightening, brothers and
\nsisters, but the beautiful part <\/p>\n
763
\n00:43:08,600 –> 00:43:15,080
\nof all of this is God has told
\nus every single one of these <\/p>\n
764
\n00:43:15,080 –> 00:43:19,600
\nthings before that happened, and
\nthat leaves us without excuse. <\/p>\n
765
\n00:43:21,080 –> 00:43:23,240
\nAnd the other beautiful thing is
\nwhat the Lord Jesus Christ says <\/p>\n
766
\n00:43:23,240 –> 00:43:27,600
\nit in Matthew 24 and 13.
\nBut the one who endures to the <\/p>\n
767
\n00:43:27,600 –> 00:43:30,120
\nend will be saved, and this
\ngospel. <\/p>\n
768
\n00:43:31,000 –> 00:43:33,160
\nOf the Kingdom will be
\nproclaimed throughout the world <\/p>\n
769
\n00:43:33,160 –> 00:43:35,520
\nas a testimony to all nations,
\nand then the end will come. <\/p>\n
770
\n00:43:35,640 –> 00:43:39,400
\nDo you know that the gospel was
\nnot possible? <\/p>\n
771
\n00:43:40,240 –> 00:43:44,440
\nTo proclaim throughout the
\nentire world until about 40 <\/p>\n
772
\n00:43:44,440 –> 00:43:50,000
\nyears ago with the advent of the
\nInternet and technology. <\/p>\n
773
\n00:43:50,200 –> 00:43:51,680
\nBut we have to be ready,
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
774
\n00:43:51,680 –> 00:43:53,760
\nWe have to be ready.
\nAnd there’s hope in the last <\/p>\n
775
\n00:43:53,760 –> 00:43:56,000
\ndays.
\nWe have God on our side. <\/p>\n
776
\n00:43:56,760 –> 00:43:59,960
\nThe writer of the Hebrews says
\nGod has said never will I leave <\/p>\n
777
\n00:43:59,960 –> 00:44:00,840
\nyou?
\nNever. <\/p>\n
778
\n00:44:00,840 –> 00:44:05,160
\nWill I forsake you?
\nAnd Paul says to Timothy, this <\/p>\n
779
\n00:44:05,160 –> 00:44:09,600
\nyoung man Timothy, who is an
\nexample for us of, of faith and <\/p>\n
780
\n00:44:09,600 –> 00:44:14,240
\ncourage in the face of, of
\nunbelievable things in his life,<\/p>\n
781
\n00:44:14,240 –> 00:44:16,840
\nsays, now there is in store for
\nme a crown of righteousness <\/p>\n
782
\n00:44:16,840 –> 00:44:19,520
\nwhich the Lord, the righteous
\njudge, will award. <\/p>\n
783
\n00:44:19,520 –> 00:44:22,880
\nTo me, on that day, and not only
\nto me, but also those who have <\/p>\n
784
\n00:44:22,880 –> 00:44:30,920
\nlonged for his appearing.
\nI’ve had many great <\/p>\n
785
\n00:44:30,920 –> 00:44:35,120
\nconversations so far about this
\nseries and I do appreciate it. <\/p>\n
786
\n00:44:35,120 –> 00:44:38,840
\nI I’ve had some corrections and
\nI’ve had some great verses that <\/p>\n
787
\n00:44:38,840 –> 00:44:40,960
\nI’ve missed.
\nAnd it’s it’s, it’s this is what<\/p>\n
788
\n00:44:40,960 –> 00:44:42,080
\nwe’re here for.
\nWe’re here to learn. <\/p>\n
789
\n00:44:43,600 –> 00:44:48,280
\nAnd brother Ken Styles.
\nHas mentioned to me a couple <\/p>\n
790
\n00:44:48,280 –> 00:44:51,400
\ntimes and did again last night
\nthat that really what we also <\/p>\n
791
\n00:44:51,400 –> 00:44:53,760
\nneed to talk about and it’s not
\nfair to throw it in here because<\/p>\n
792
\n00:44:53,760 –> 00:44:55,920
\nwe don’t have time.
\nI don’t want to be overtime <\/p>\n
793
\n00:44:55,920 –> 00:44:57,720
\nagain.
\nHow do we got till 10 after? <\/p>\n
794
\n00:44:58,360 –> 00:45:03,320
\nOK, We have a responsibility
\nwithin our, within our colleges <\/p>\n
795
\n00:45:03,320 –> 00:45:06,320
\nto uphold biblical truth.
\nAnd we, we need to build a model<\/p>\n
796
\n00:45:06,920 –> 00:45:10,240
\nthat helps those that are
\nstruggling to deal with these <\/p>\n
797
\n00:45:10,240 –> 00:45:14,040
\nissues to identify them, to
\nunderstand them and create a <\/p>\n
798
\n00:45:14,040 –> 00:45:17,720
\nbiblical foundation for us to
\ndeal with them and refute them. <\/p>\n
799
\n00:45:19,640 –> 00:45:23,600
\nAnd so we need to, we need to
\nget back to clear biblical <\/p>\n
800
\n00:45:23,600 –> 00:45:26,800
\nteaching.
\nAnd not only that, but to <\/p>\n
801
\n00:45:27,160 –> 00:45:31,680
\nshowcase clear biblical teaching
\nas as it relates to the issues <\/p>\n
802
\n00:45:31,680 –> 00:45:34,400
\nwe currently have.
\nAnd that, now that’s a tough <\/p>\n
803
\n00:45:34,400 –> 00:45:36,440
\nthing to do.
\nAnd we started to do that two <\/p>\n
804
\n00:45:36,440 –> 00:45:39,800
\nyears ago.
\nWe, we initially, I, I spoke <\/p>\n
805
\n00:45:39,800 –> 00:45:42,320
\nwith many brethren that are here
\nover the last couple of years <\/p>\n
806
\n00:45:42,320 –> 00:45:44,280
\nand just ask things like, hey,
\nwhat’s going on in your <\/p>\n
807
\n00:45:44,280 –> 00:45:45,440
\necclesia?
\nDo you, are you having this <\/p>\n
808
\n00:45:45,440 –> 00:45:48,760
\nissue, having that issue?
\nAnd oftentimes the answer was, <\/p>\n
809
\n00:45:49,080 –> 00:45:51,800
\nyeah, we do have the issue or
\nno, we don’t have that issue. <\/p>\n
810
\n00:45:51,800 –> 00:45:53,640
\nAnd then like a month later, I
\nget an e-mail. <\/p>\n
811
\n00:45:53,640 –> 00:45:55,000
\nYeah, we actually do have this
\nissue. <\/p>\n
812
\n00:45:55,440 –> 00:45:59,880
\nAnd so we put together a
\nregional, a set of meetings and <\/p>\n
813
\n00:45:59,880 –> 00:46:02,920
\nin the end we had 13 ecclesias
\nin the, in the Pacific Northwest<\/p>\n
814
\n00:46:02,920 –> 00:46:05,800
\nthat the gathered, I think is
\nDan here. <\/p>\n
815
\n00:46:05,800 –> 00:46:07,600
\nDo we have two or three
\nmeetings? <\/p>\n
816
\n00:46:07,600 –> 00:46:11,800
\nI can’t remember to talk about
\nthese issues, the, the, the <\/p>\n
817
\n00:46:11,800 –> 00:46:15,000
\npostmodern agenda, how it’s
\naffecting our Clesia and, and <\/p>\n
818
\n00:46:15,000 –> 00:46:17,640
\nthe fact that that these
\ndoctrines are in our clesions. <\/p>\n
819
\n00:46:17,640 –> 00:46:18,680
\nHow do we deal with them now?
\nWe haven’t. <\/p>\n
820
\n00:46:18,920 –> 00:46:20,120
\nWe need to.
\nWe need to take. <\/p>\n
821
\n00:46:20,120 –> 00:46:23,720
\nThat to a place where we can
\nkind of formalize a process to <\/p>\n
822
\n00:46:23,720 –> 00:46:26,960
\ntrain and to teach and to help
\nunderstand and and and and and <\/p>\n
823
\n00:46:26,960 –> 00:46:29,520
\naddress and expose the issues of
\nthe day. <\/p>\n
824
\n00:46:29,560 –> 00:46:32,800
\nWe need to create a safe place
\nfor young people to come in and <\/p>\n
825
\n00:46:32,800 –> 00:46:35,840
\nask questions who are concerned
\nor don’t know which way to turn.<\/p>\n
826
\n00:46:35,840 –> 00:46:38,240
\nIt’s like what I don’t
\nunderstand, you know, how this <\/p>\n
827
\n00:46:38,360 –> 00:46:43,120
\nhow this can be?
\nWe need to be. <\/p>\n
828
\n00:46:43,120 –> 00:46:47,680
\nShepherds and examples of our
\necclesial flock to provide a way<\/p>\n
829
\n00:46:49,160 –> 00:46:55,400
\nwhere we can understand what
\nGod’s truth is and deal with the<\/p>\n
830
\n00:46:55,400 –> 00:46:57,320
\ndanger of these new human
\nphilosophies. <\/p>\n
831
\n00:46:58,840 –> 00:47:01,040
\nWe have a responsibility,
\nbrethren, assist us to do that <\/p>\n
832
\n00:47:01,040 –> 00:47:05,600
\nin our families, to do that in
\nour cliches, to uphold truth and<\/p>\n
833
\n00:47:05,600 –> 00:47:11,760
\nexpose this deception.
\nAs it says in Jude, we need to <\/p>\n
834
\n00:47:11,920 –> 00:47:19,160
\nearnestly contend for the faith
\nand in the broader community, we<\/p>\n
835
\n00:47:19,160 –> 00:47:20,960
\nneed to share the resources that
\nwe already have. <\/p>\n
836
\n00:47:20,960 –> 00:47:25,400
\nAnd we have lots of great
\nresources, books and and talk <\/p>\n
837
\n00:47:25,400 –> 00:47:27,720
\nseries that deal specifically
\nwith these issues. <\/p>\n
838
\n00:47:27,880 –> 00:47:29,920
\nAnd we need to create more.
\nWe need to have more. <\/p>\n
839
\n00:47:32,960 –> 00:47:36,280
\nI want to close with a few
\nthings about the teens. <\/p>\n
840
\n00:47:36,280 –> 00:47:41,600
\nI mentioned last night that they
\nwere a great group and I sorry <\/p>\n
841
\n00:47:41,600 –> 00:47:44,080
\nbrother Peter, I think it was
\nyou that said this. <\/p>\n
842
\n00:47:44,080 –> 00:47:45,840
\nI’m so bad remembering what
\npeople said. <\/p>\n
843
\n00:47:47,400 –> 00:47:49,440
\nBut I think there’s you that
\nsaid that you can you can often <\/p>\n
844
\n00:47:49,440 –> 00:47:51,920
\ntell the spiritual state of the
\nparents by how the kids behave. <\/p>\n
845
\n00:47:51,920 –> 00:47:52,920
\nIs that what you said?
\nYes. <\/p>\n
846
\n00:47:54,840 –> 00:47:56,040
\nAnd I never thought of it that
\nway. <\/p>\n
847
\n00:47:56,040 –> 00:47:57,720
\nI always thought of it, you
\nknow, the other way. <\/p>\n
848
\n00:47:57,720 –> 00:47:58,920
\nAnd it is true the other way
\ntoo. <\/p>\n
849
\n00:47:58,920 –> 00:48:01,000
\nBut but when he said that, I
\nthought, you know, that’s that’s<\/p>\n
850
\n00:48:01,000 –> 00:48:03,200
\nright.
\nYou can tell the spiritual state<\/p>\n
851
\n00:48:03,200 –> 00:48:06,600
\nof the parents oftentimes by how
\nthe children conduct themselves.<\/p>\n
852
\n00:48:07,120 –> 00:48:10,840
\nEspecially in a place like this.
\nAnd I will tell you that the <\/p>\n
853
\n00:48:10,840 –> 00:48:15,640
\nteens in this camp conduct.
\nThemselves very, very well. <\/p>\n
854
\n00:48:16,840 –> 00:48:19,600
\nThey know the scripture, they
\nunderstand scriptural <\/p>\n
855
\n00:48:19,600 –> 00:48:23,000
\nprinciples, they can articulate
\nthem and all it always takes a <\/p>\n
856
\n00:48:23,000 –> 00:48:26,960
\nlittle bit to get teens talking
\nonce you get them talking and <\/p>\n
857
\n00:48:26,960 –> 00:48:28,240
\nthen it’s really hard to get
\nthem stop. <\/p>\n
858
\n00:48:30,320 –> 00:48:33,520
\nBut I just wanted to say that,
\nyou know, we give accolades to <\/p>\n
859
\n00:48:33,520 –> 00:48:36,080
\nthe to the teens.
\nI want to give accolades to you <\/p>\n
860
\n00:48:36,080 –> 00:48:41,000
\nas parents that you’re doing a
\ngreat job and we’re not perfect <\/p>\n
861
\n00:48:41,000 –> 00:48:44,280
\nand we fail and and and and we
\nunderstand that. <\/p>\n
862
\n00:48:46,840 –> 00:48:49,120
\nBut this group of teens is
\nreally exceptional. <\/p>\n
863
\n00:48:50,280 –> 00:48:53,320
\nAnd brother Jonathan Lawrence
\nand I, we were talking, I think <\/p>\n
864
\n00:48:53,320 –> 00:48:57,280
\nit was a breakfast about the
\ndifference between, you know, <\/p>\n
865
\n00:48:57,880 –> 00:49:01,360
\nour generation and this current
\ngeneration accepting, of course,<\/p>\n
866
\n00:49:01,360 –> 00:49:04,680
\nthe Jonathan’s 10 years younger
\nthan me. <\/p>\n
867
\n00:49:04,680 –> 00:49:08,080
\nIs that that when I was coming
\nto Bible school and Silver Star,<\/p>\n
868
\n00:49:08,160 –> 00:49:09,200
\nright.
\nThe precursor to this? <\/p>\n
869
\n00:49:09,200 –> 00:49:14,120
\nWe were doing dramatically
\ndifferently and poor things. <\/p>\n
870
\n00:49:14,840 –> 00:49:17,400
\nAnd we don’t see that with this
\ncurrent generation of teens. <\/p>\n
871
\n00:49:17,400 –> 00:49:19,920
\nAnd I think that’s great.
\nI’m not, I’m not, I’m not sure <\/p>\n
872
\n00:49:20,120 –> 00:49:21,880
\nthat we figured out what it is
\nyet. <\/p>\n
873
\n00:49:22,320 –> 00:49:26,280
\nBut I think part of it is that
\nwhen I was growing up, I was in <\/p>\n
874
\n00:49:26,280 –> 00:49:29,560
\na strict household and I was,
\nyou know, taught scriptural <\/p>\n
875
\n00:49:30,200 –> 00:49:33,240
\ninformation, data, principles,
\ndoctrines. <\/p>\n
876
\n00:49:34,280 –> 00:49:36,800
\nBut maybe.
\nToday we do a better job of <\/p>\n
877
\n00:49:38,120 –> 00:49:41,920
\nteaching application, which was
\nbrother James Larson’s comment. <\/p>\n
878
\n00:49:42,040 –> 00:49:43,760
\nI’m trying to remember what
\neverybody said. <\/p>\n
879
\n00:49:44,400 –> 00:49:47,680
\nWe’re doing a better job of
\nright of, of taking those <\/p>\n
880
\n00:49:47,680 –> 00:49:49,680
\nprinciples so that the teams can
\napply them. <\/p>\n
881
\n00:49:49,680 –> 00:49:53,440
\nAnd I think in this day and age,
\nthat is so important that we do <\/p>\n
882
\n00:49:53,440 –> 00:49:56,080
\nthat.
\nYou cannot always refute the <\/p>\n
883
\n00:49:56,080 –> 00:49:59,600
\nevil just by coding a verse.
\nThey have to have understood how<\/p>\n
884
\n00:49:59,600 –> 00:50:02,600
\nthat verse, that principle
\napplies in their life. <\/p>\n
885
\n00:50:04,640 –> 00:50:06,080
\nAnyway, I do appreciate all the
\nfeedback. <\/p>\n
886
\n00:50:06,080 –> 00:50:07,960
\nI, I, I know there’s a lot of
\nissues. <\/p>\n
887
\n00:50:07,960 –> 00:50:11,560
\nI know we’re being beat down by
\nthe world and and and and and. <\/p>\n
888
\n00:50:12,120 –> 00:50:14,480
\nI think what Brother Ken was
\ngetting at is that we. <\/p>\n
889
\n00:50:14,480 –> 00:50:15,680
\nNeed to.
\nWe need to. <\/p>\n
890
\n00:50:15,680 –> 00:50:19,240
\nTreat our ecclesias as hospitals
\nwhere we can treat the sick, <\/p>\n
891
\n00:50:19,240 –> 00:50:21,920
\nwhere we can bind up the broken
\nhearted, where we can restore <\/p>\n
892
\n00:50:21,920 –> 00:50:24,240
\npeople to spiritual health
\ninstead of just being a place <\/p>\n
893
\n00:50:24,240 –> 00:50:27,320
\nthat we come and we do our duty
\nand we leave. <\/p>\n
894
\n00:50:28,960 –> 00:50:31,160
\nIsaiah 61 and one just under
\nscore this point. <\/p>\n
895
\n00:50:31,160 –> 00:50:33,320
\nThe Spirit of the Sovereign Lord
\nis on me because the Lord has <\/p>\n
896
\n00:50:33,320 –> 00:50:35,560
\nappointed me to proclaim good
\nnews to the poor. <\/p>\n
897
\n00:50:35,560 –> 00:50:38,960
\nHe has sent me to bind up the
\nbroken hearted, to proclaim <\/p>\n
898
\n00:50:38,960 –> 00:50:44,000
\nfreedom for the captives and
\nrelease from darkness for the <\/p>\n
899
\n00:50:44,000 –> 00:50:49,200
\nprisoners.
\nWe have to see our cliches in <\/p>\n
900
\n00:50:49,200 –> 00:50:51,040
\nthis light, brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
901
\n00:50:51,040 –> 00:50:53,200
\nWe have to see our families in
\nthis light. <\/p>\n
902
\n00:50:54,880 –> 00:50:56,800
\nWe are all trying to get to the
\nKingdom together. <\/p>\n
903
\n00:50:57,880 –> 00:51:01,160
\nWe as individual lights need to
\ngather together to form that <\/p>\n
904
\n00:51:01,160 –> 00:51:05,800
\ngreater light, to March together
\nto the Kingdom as families, as a<\/p>\n
905
\n00:51:05,800 –> 00:51:09,880
\ncliches, and even as a global
\ncommunity so that we can fend <\/p>\n
906
\n00:51:09,880 –> 00:51:14,240
\noff the issues of darkness.
\nAnd so as in the time of the <\/p>\n
907
\n00:51:14,240 –> 00:51:18,280
\nflood, when when God looked down
\nand he saw only evil continually<\/p>\n
908
\n00:51:18,280 –> 00:51:23,600
\nand completely, he actually saw
\namongst the darkness that small <\/p>\n
909
\n00:51:23,760 –> 00:51:29,400
\npool of light which was Noah.
\nAnd lest we forget how important<\/p>\n
910
\n00:51:29,400 –> 00:51:34,480
\nthat light was, that God saw
\ngrace when he saw Noah, that God<\/p>\n
911
\n00:51:34,480 –> 00:51:42,440
\nrebuilt mankind.
\nOn that family it pays to stand <\/p>\n
912
\n00:51:42,440 –> 00:51:44,360
\nout as a light in this Dark
\nWorld. <\/p>\n
913
\n00:51:44,360 –> 00:51:47,080
\nAnd so let us therefore,
\nbrothers and sisters, seek to <\/p>\n
914
\n00:51:47,080 –> 00:51:50,280
\nmanifest the light of God’s
\ntruth in in in our lives every <\/p>\n
915
\n00:51:50,280 –> 00:51:54,040
\nday that we inhabit the image by
\nwhich God has created us with <\/p>\n
916
\n00:51:54,040 –> 00:51:57,480
\npurpose, with his attributes,
\nand with his character. <\/p>\n
917
\n00:51:57,600 –> 00:52:01,800
\nSo that when God looks down on
\nus, we might stand with courage <\/p>\n
918
\n00:52:02,040 –> 00:52:06,200
\nas that pool of light in this
\nDark World, thinking and doing <\/p>\n
919
\n00:52:06,200 –> 00:52:07,520
\nthose things that are righteous
\nand God. <\/p>\n
920
\n00:52:07,600 –> 00:52:11,520
\nGod’s eyes, a God who has
\nredeemed us from all <\/p>\n
921
\n00:52:11,520 –> 00:52:18,320
\nunrighteousness.
\nTherefore, brothers and sisters,<\/p>\n
922
\n00:52:18,320 –> 00:52:22,520
\nwe are without excuse for since
\nthe creation of the. <\/p>\n
923
\n00:52:22,520 –> 00:52:26,440
\nWorld, God’s invisible
\nqualities, His divine power and <\/p>\n
924
\n00:52:26,440 –> 00:52:30,280
\nnature have been clearly seen
\nbeing understood by what is <\/p>\n
925
\n00:52:30,280 –> 00:52:33,800
\nmade.
\nAnd so may we not turn a blind <\/p>\n
926
\n00:52:33,800 –> 00:52:35,880
\neye to the truth that is plain
\nbefore us. <\/p>\n
927
\n00:52:36,120 –> 00:52:39,480
\nWe can’t claim ignorance in the
\nface of some undeniable <\/p>\n
928
\n00:52:39,480 –> 00:52:43,400
\npresence, but let us elevate God
\nin our lives every day. <\/p>\n
929
\n00:52:43,520 –> 00:52:46,920
\nYou know what happens when you
\nelevate God in your life? <\/p>\n
930
\n00:52:50,520 –> 00:52:55,560
\nYou push yourself down.
\nYour life becomes less important<\/p>\n
931
\n00:52:55,600 –> 00:52:59,080
\nas God becomes more important.
\nI think that’s a principle that <\/p>\n
932
\n00:52:59,080 –> 00:53:02,000
\nwe have to manifest every day.
\nSecond Peter chapter 3. <\/p>\n
933
\n00:53:02,000 –> 00:53:05,080
\nLet’s just turn to there and
\nthen We’re going to close almost<\/p>\n
934
\n00:53:05,720 –> 00:53:13,680
\nperfectly on time.
\nSecond Peter chapter 3, starting<\/p>\n
935
\n00:53:13,680 –> 00:53:14,880
\nat verse 10.
\nBut the day of the Lord will <\/p>\n
936
\n00:53:14,880 –> 00:53:19,000
\ncome like a thief, the heavens
\nwill disappear like a with a <\/p>\n
937
\n00:53:19,000 –> 00:53:21,400
\nroar, the elements will be
\ndestroyed with fire, the earth <\/p>\n
938
\n00:53:21,400 –> 00:53:24,240
\nand everything done, and it will
\nbe laid bare, since everything <\/p>\n
939
\n00:53:24,240 –> 00:53:30,800
\nwill be destroyed in this way.
\nBrethren and sisters, what kind <\/p>\n
940
\n00:53:30,800 –> 00:53:36,680
\nof people ought we to be?
\nWell, Peter tells us you ought <\/p>\n
941
\n00:53:36,760 –> 00:53:40,320
\nto live holy and godly lives as
\nyou look forward to the day of <\/p>\n
942
\n00:53:40,320 –> 00:53:46,080
\nGod and the speed of its coming.
\nLet’s make every effort, <\/p>\n
943
\n00:53:46,120 –> 00:53:50,440
\ntherefore, as he says, to be
\nfound spotless and blameless and<\/p>\n
944
\n00:53:50,440 –> 00:53:53,680
\nat peace with him.
\nAnd just to close with the verse<\/p>\n
945
\n00:53:53,680 –> 00:53:58,320
\nthat’s up on the screen.
\nWe think about the inexcusable, <\/p>\n
946
\n00:53:58,480 –> 00:54:01,000
\nirrefutable nature of God’s
\npresence. <\/p>\n
947
\n00:54:02,360 –> 00:54:05,680
\nWhen I look to the heavens, the
\npsalmist says, I see the work of<\/p>\n
948
\n00:54:05,680 –> 00:54:08,280
\nyour fingers, the.
\nMoon and the stars which you <\/p>\n
949
\n00:54:08,280 –> 00:54:12,200
\nhave set in place, what is man
\nthat you are mindful of him? <\/p>\n
950
\n00:54:12,720 –> 00:54:15,000
\nThe Son of man that you care for
\nhim, yet you have made him a <\/p>\n
951
\n00:54:15,000 –> 00:54:17,880
\nlittle lower than the heavenly
\nbeings and crowned him with <\/p>\n
952
\n00:54:17,880 –> 00:54:20,040
\nglory and honor.
\nYou have given him dominion over<\/p>\n
953
\n00:54:20,040 –> 00:54:21,960
\nthe works of your hands.
\nYou have put all things under <\/p>\n
954
\n00:54:21,960 –> 00:54:25,280
\nhis feet, all sheep and oxen,
\nalso the beasts of the field and<\/p>\n
955
\n00:54:25,280 –> 00:54:27,320
\nthe birds of the heaven, and the
\nfish of the sea, That whoever <\/p>\n
956
\n00:54:27,320 –> 00:54:29,760
\npasses along the paths of the
\nSeas. <\/p>\n
957
\n00:54:30,120 –> 00:54:34,640
\nO Lord our Lord, how majestic is
\nyour name and all the earth. <\/p>\n
958
\n00:54:37,160 –> 00:54:40,160
\nLet us live, live in a manner
\nworthy of Our Calling, Brethren <\/p>\n
959
\n00:54:40,160 –> 00:54:42,520
\nand sisters, the calling that we
\nhave received, knowing that the <\/p>\n
960
\n00:54:42,560 –> 00:54:47,040
\nevidence of His Majesty leaves
\nus no room for excuse. <\/p>\n
961
\n00:54:47,040 –> 00:54:50,040
\nAnd in this knowledge, let us
\nboldly proclaim His glory. <\/p>\n
962
\n00:54:50,200 –> 00:54:53,120
\nLet us live righteously.
\nLet us stand firm in our faith, <\/p>\n
963
\n00:54:53,160 –> 00:54:57,600
\nbecause, brethren and sisters,
\nwe of all people are without <\/p>\n
