BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY.
00:00:04.53\00:00:06.63
DOUG BATCHELOR: CAN THE
PERSON HAVE A PERVERTED APPETITE
00:00:14.21\00:00:15.84
FOR FOOD?
00:00:15.88\00:00:17.18
YEAH.
00:00:17.21\00:00:18.51
CAN A PERSON BE A GLUTTON?
SAME THING WITH THE DESIRES
00:00:18.55\00:00:20.72
FOR SEX.
EVERYTHING GOOD THAT GOD HAS
00:00:20.75\00:00:23.32
MADE, THE DEVIL
HAS SOUGHT TO CORRUPT.
00:00:23.35\00:00:25.69
DOUG: WE'RE CONTINUING WITH OUR
SERIES TALKING ABOUT THESE LAWS
00:00:29.76\00:00:32.49
OF LOVE AND LIBERTY.
AND TODAY, IN PARTICULAR,
00:00:32.53\00:00:35.66
WE ARE ON COMMANDMENT NUMBER
7. SOME OF YOU, IF YOU KNOW YOUR
00:00:35.70\00:00:42.64
BIBLES AND YOU LEARNED THIS
GROWING UP AND GOING TO CHURCH,
00:00:42.67\00:00:45.41
YOU KNOW WHAT THAT
IS. IT'S ONLY FOUR WORDS.
00:00:45.44\00:00:49.54
SOMETIMES PEOPLE LEAVE
ONE OF THOSE WORDS OUT.
00:00:49.58\00:00:53.01
'THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT
ADULTERY.' YOU KNOW, IT'S
00:00:53.05\00:00:58.45
POSSIBLE TO BE DISTRACTED
TO DEATH. THAT'S RIGHT.
00:00:58.49\00:01:05.29
I UNDERSTAND EVERY YEAR
THAT AROUND NORTH AMERICA AND
00:01:05.33\00:01:08.86
PROBABLY IN MANY PARTS OF THE
WORLD, THAT THE CASUALTY OF DEER
00:01:08.90\00:01:14.10
SPIKES. JUST IN
ILLINOIS, FOR INSTANCE,
00:01:14.14\00:01:17.84
THEY REPORT MORE THAN 17,000
DEER DIE EACH YEAR AFTER BEING
00:01:17.87\00:01:22.08
STRUCK BY MOTORISTS AND CARS.
MOST OF THE TIME IT'S IN THE
00:01:22.11\00:01:26.31
FALL. DO YOU KNOW WHY?
00:01:26.35\00:01:29.85
THAT'S WHEN THE BUCKS ARE
GOING THROUGH THE RUT SEASON.
00:01:29.88\00:01:34.12
THEY ARE
PREOCCUPIED WITH MATING.
00:01:34.16\00:01:38.13
AND BECAUSE OF THAT
PREOCCUPATION AND THEY BECOME SO
00:01:38.16\00:01:40.56
CONCERNED ABOUT THEIR TERRITORY
AND THEY CAN BECOME SO CONCERNED
00:01:40.60\00:01:45.77
ABOUT OTHER BUCKS, THEY'LL
GET ENGAGED IN EITHER FIGHTING
00:01:45.80\00:01:49.54
ANOTHER BUCK OR FOLLOWING A DOE
AND THEY DON'T EVEN CARE IF A
00:01:49.57\00:01:52.94
SEMI IS COMING DOWN THE ROAD
AND THEY GET TO WHERE THEY ARE
00:01:52.97\00:01:56.68
DISTRACTED TO DEATH.
UNFORTUNATELY, THIS PROBLEM DOES
00:01:56.71\00:02:00.65
NOT JUST HAPPEN WITH DEER.
AND IT DOESN'T JUST HAPPEN WITH
00:02:00.68\00:02:05.22
BUCKS. IT HAPPENS WITH HUMAN
BUCKS AND DOES. THEY CAN BECOME
00:02:05.25\00:02:11.66
SO PREOCCUPIED WITH THE
OPPOSITE SEX THAT IT BECOMES
00:02:11.69\00:02:15.96
SPIRITUALLY FATAL. AND
YOU CAN FIND THE RECORD OF
00:02:16.00\00:02:20.64
THIS IN THE BIBLE. OF COURSE
THE COMMAND - EXODUS 20:14 -
00:02:20.67\00:02:26.51
"THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT
ADULTERY". WHAT IS ADULTERY?
00:02:26.54\00:02:32.75
DEFINITION - AND THERE'S A
DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE WORD
00:02:32.78\00:02:35.25
'ADULTERY' AND 'FORNICATION'.
THEY BOTH FALL UNDER THE SEVENTH
00:02:35.28\00:02:38.15
COMMANDMENT.
ADULTERY IS VOLUNTARY SEXUAL
00:02:38.19\00:02:41.26
INTIMACY BETWEEN A MARRIED
PERSON AND A PARTNER OTHER THAN
00:02:41.29\00:02:45.06
THE LAWFUL SPOUSE.
WHEREAS FORNICATION IS SEXUAL
00:02:45.09\00:02:49.20
INTERCOURSE BETWEEN PARTNERS WHO
ARE NOT MARRIED TO EACH OTHER.
00:02:49.23\00:02:54.20
AND BOTH ARE CLEARLY
FORBIDDEN IN THE BIBLE.
00:02:54.24\00:02:57.31
YOU CAN FIND, FOR INSTANCE, IN
GALATIANS 5:19, "NOW THE WORKS
00:02:57.34\00:03:00.88
OF THE FLESH ARE
EVIDENT, WHICH ARE THESE:
00:03:00.91\00:03:04.35
ADULTERY, FORNICATION," -
00:03:04.38\00:03:06.21
RIGHT THERE HE MAKES A
DISTINCTION, DOESN'T HE?
00:03:06.25\00:03:08.12
- "ADULTERY, FORNICATION,
UNCLEANNESS, LEWDNESS" - AND
00:03:08.15\00:03:10.82
THAT'S TALKING ABOUT OBSCENE
BEHAVIOR - DIRTY JOKES IS LEWD
00:03:10.85\00:03:13.89
BEHAVIOR. 1
CORINTHIANS 6, VERSES 9 AND
00:03:13.92\00:03:18.09
10, "DO YOU NOT KNOW THE
UNRIGHTEOUS WILL NOT INHERIT THE
00:03:18.13\00:03:22.90
KINGDOM OF GOD?
DO NOT BE DECEIVED.
00:03:22.93\00:03:26.00
NEITHER FORNICATORS, NOR
IDOLATERS, NOR ADULTERERS, NOR
00:03:26.03\00:03:30.04
HOMOSEXUALS, NOR SODOMITES WILL
INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD."
00:03:30.07\00:03:34.61
AND I WANT TO INCLUDE - SO THAT
PEOPLE DON'T LOSE HOPE - "AND
00:03:34.64\00:03:38.55
SUCH WERE SOME OF YOU."
PAUL WRITES TO THE CORINTHIAN
00:03:38.58\00:03:41.08
CHURCH - THEY HAD ALL
KINDS OF PROBLEMS THERE.
00:03:41.12\00:03:43.95
NOT ONLY WITH HOMOSEXUALITY BUT
WITH FORNICATION, WITH ADULTERY
00:03:43.99\00:03:47.59
AND THEN PAUL GOES ON TO SAY
"AND SUCH WERE" - PAST TENSE -
00:03:47.62\00:03:52.49
"YOU. BUT YOU'VE
BEEN WASHED, YOU'VE
00:03:52.53\00:03:54.96
BEEN SANCTIFIED," - YOU'VE BEEN
CLEANSED THROUGH POWER OF GOD.
00:03:55.00\00:03:58.43
AND SO, AS WE TALK ABOUT THIS
SUBJECT, AS WITH THE OTHER SINS
00:03:58.47\00:04:02.60
- YOU KNOW WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, NONE OF
00:04:02.64\00:04:04.47
THEM ARE CALLED THE UNPARDONABLE
SIN, BUT THEY ARE CALLED SIN AND
00:04:04.51\00:04:10.71
SIN IS DEADLY IF IT IS
NOT REPENTED OF AND FORSAKEN.
00:04:10.75\00:04:15.48
AND JESUS CAME TO SAVE US NOT IN
OUR SINS, BUT THE ANGEL SAID HE
00:04:15.52\00:04:18.42
CAME TO SAVE US FROM OUR SINS -
AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE SINS -
00:04:18.45\00:04:24.23
ADULTERY. PROVERBS
6, VERSE 32, "WHOEVER
00:04:24.26\00:04:28.30
COMMITS ADULTERY WITH A WOMAN
LACKS UNDERSTANDING; HE WHO DOES
00:04:28.33\00:04:32.00
SO DESTROYS HIS OWN
SOUL." IT NOT ONLY HAS SOMETIMES
00:04:32.03\00:04:37.97
PHYSICAL RAMIFICATIONS
AND SOCIAL RAMIFICATIONS,
00:04:38.01\00:04:40.91
IT DEFINITELY HAS
SPIRITUAL RAMIFICATIONS.
00:04:40.94\00:04:44.91
KEEP IN MIND, MARRIAGE WAS
PART OF GOD'S PERFECT PLAN.
00:04:44.95\00:04:48.55
IT HAD NOTHING TO
DO WITH REDEMPTION.
00:04:48.58\00:04:51.02
IT WAS A SACRED ORDINANCE OF GOD
WHEN WE HAD A PERFECT WORLD AND
00:04:51.05\00:04:56.59
IT IS STILL PART
OF HIS PERFECT PLAN.
00:04:56.62\00:05:01.13
MARRIAGE DOESN'T HAVE TO DO WITH
BEING SAVED BECAUSE MAN HAD NOT
00:05:01.16\00:05:04.13
FALLEN YET WHEN GOD
INTRODUCED MARRIAGE.
00:05:04.17\00:05:07.94
IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS HOLY
BECAUSE IT EXISTED BEFORE THERE
00:05:07.97\00:05:11.07
WAS EVEN SIN IN THE
WORLD. AND WHEN WE'RE INVITED TO
00:05:11.11\00:05:14.61
PARTICIPATE IN MARRIAGE AND WHEN
WE MAKE THESE COVENANTS - IT'S
00:05:14.64\00:05:17.61
NOT JUST A PROMISE, IT'S A
COVENANT WITH ANOTHER PERSON
00:05:17.65\00:05:20.68
BEFORE WITNESSES IN
THE PRESENCE OF GOD.
00:05:20.72\00:05:24.99
SO GOD HAS MADE MARRIAGE, IT'S
PART OF HIS PERFECT PLAN AND HE
00:05:25.02\00:05:28.79
HAS CREATED US WITH A DESIRE
FOR THE OPPOSITE SEX PARTLY TO
00:05:28.82\00:05:35.06
PROCREATE. YOU KNOW,
IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT
00:05:35.10\00:05:38.17
SEXUAL DESIRE, VIRTUALLY
NONE OF US WOULD BE HERE.
00:05:38.20\00:05:41.80
ISN'T THAT RIGHT? AND
IF IT WASN'T FOR HUNGER YOU
00:05:41.84\00:05:45.21
PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE HERE
ALSO. GOD GAVE YOU THE DESIRE TO
00:05:45.24\00:05:48.28
HUNGER FOR FOOD OR YOU
WOULD EVENTUALLY DIE OUT.
00:05:48.31\00:05:51.65
AND HE ALSO PLANTED WITHIN
US THIS HEALTHY, HOLY DESIRE FOR
00:05:51.68\00:05:56.48
SEX THAT, GOVERNED
BY A SANCTIFIED MIND,
00:05:56.52\00:06:00.29
IS A GOOD THING. SEX
IS NOT SOMETHING THE DEVIL
00:06:00.32\00:06:02.69
INVENTED SO WE'VE GOT TO BE
CAREFUL TO NOT COMMUNICATE THAT.
00:06:02.72\00:06:07.23
SEX IS A BEAUTIFUL THING THE WAY
- WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT - HOW
00:06:07.30\00:06:12.10
TWO PEOPLE COME TOGETHER THROUGH
AN ACT OF LOVE AND EMBRACE AND
00:06:12.13\00:06:17.17
THEY ARE ABLE TO
REPRODUCE ANOTHER PERSON.
00:06:17.21\00:06:20.64
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL THING IN THE
CONTEXT THAT GOD HAS DESIGNED.
00:06:20.68\00:06:24.95
BUT THE DEVIL HAS SUCCEEDED IN
MAKING IT UGLY AND DIRTY AND HE
00:06:24.98\00:06:28.58
CAN - THE DEVIL CAN WARP
AND PERVERT EVERYTHING THAT GOD
00:06:28.62\00:06:31.85
MAKES. CAN A PERSON HAVE A
PERVERTED APPETITE FOR FOOD?
00:06:31.89\00:06:35.69
YEAH. CAN A PERSON BE A GLUTTON?
00:06:35.72\00:06:38.49
SAME THING WITH
THE DESIRES FOR SEX.
00:06:38.53\00:06:40.93
EVERYTHING GOOD THAT GOD HAS
MADE, THE DEVIL HAS SOUGHT TO
00:06:40.96\00:06:43.33
CORRUPT, INCLUDING MARRIAGE
AND THAT INSTITUTION AND THOSE
00:06:43.37\00:06:47.74
DESIRES. THOSE DESIRES MUST BE
00:06:47.77\00:06:49.87
RESTRAINED, AS WITH
THE DESIRES FOR FOOD.
00:06:49.90\00:06:53.04
IF THEY'RE NOT, THERE
ARE CONSEQUENCES FOR THAT.
00:06:53.07\00:06:56.24
THE BIBLE TELLS US IN HEBREWS
13:4, "MARRIAGE IS HONORABLE
00:06:56.28\00:07:01.58
AMONG ALL, AND THE BED
UNDEFILED; BUT FORNICATORS AND
00:07:01.62\00:07:06.02
ADULTERERS GOD WILL JUDGE."
GENESIS 2:18, "AND THE LORD GOD
00:07:06.05\00:07:11.19
SAID, 'IT IS NOT GOOD
THAT MAN SHOULD BE ALONE;" -
00:07:11.23\00:07:13.23
I READ THAT TO YOU ALREADY.
1 CORINTHIANS 7:9, IT SAYS THAT
00:07:13.26\00:07:17.87
"...IF A PERSON CANNOT EXERCISE
SELF-CONTROL, THEY SHOULD MARRY.
00:07:17.90\00:07:21.50
FOR IT IS BETTER TO MARRY
THAN TO BURN WITH PASSION."
00:07:21.54\00:07:24.64
YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT A QUOTE
HERE FROM C.S. LEWIS. HE SAYS,
00:07:24.67\00:07:27.74
"EITHER MARRIAGE WITH COMPLETE
FAITHFULNESS TO YOUR PARTNER OR
00:07:27.78\00:07:30.91
TOTAL ABSTINENCE. THOSE ARE THE
ONLY OPTIONS FOR THE BELIEVER."
00:07:30.95\00:07:34.92
AND YOU CAN'T BE MAKING EXCUSES,
'WELL, I'M SINGLE, GOD DOESN'T
00:07:34.95\00:07:37.85
EXPECT ME TO JUST BE ABSTINENT
AND SO I'M GOING TO GO OUT AND
00:07:37.89\00:07:41.96
HIRE A
PROSTITUTE - MALE OR FEMALE.
00:07:41.99\00:07:44.99
I MEAN, THAT'S WHERE
THAT LOGIC WILL TAKE YOU.
00:07:45.03\00:07:48.26
GOD EXPECTS US TO USE
SELF-CONTROL. DID JESUS?
00:07:48.30\00:07:53.50
DO YOU THINK THAT JESUS WASN'T
TEMPTED IN ALL POINTS AS WE ARE?
00:07:53.54\00:07:56.60
THE BIBLE SAYS HE WAS.
BUT HE LIVED A HOLY LIFE.
00:07:56.64\00:08:00.48
AND SO CAN WE.
00:08:00.51\00:08:02.14
WHEN YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN 'OLD
THINGS PASS AWAY, ALL THINGS ARE
00:08:02.18\00:08:04.31
MADE NEW.' NOW I'M TAKING
THIS LITTLE RABBIT TRAIL TO JUST
00:08:04.35\00:08:06.88
REINFORCE THE PRINCIPLE THAT
EVERYBODY THAT IS HUMAN IS GOING
00:08:06.92\00:08:12.22
TO BE TEMPTED AND THE DEVIL
IS EVEN GOING TO TEMPT PEOPLE
00:08:12.25\00:08:15.72
WITHIN GOOD CHRISTIAN MARRIAGES
TO THINK THINGS THEY SHOULDN'T
00:08:15.76\00:08:18.09
THINK. DON'T FALL FOR THE IDEA
THAT YOU ARE A VICTIM AND YOU
00:08:18.13\00:08:22.33
ARE HELPLESS AND YOU CAN'T
MAKE CHOICES. EVERYBODY CAN MAKE
00:08:22.36\00:08:25.77
CHOICES. PEOPLE WHO FALL INTO
ADULTERY USUALLY HAVE MADE A
00:08:25.80\00:08:30.17
SERIES OF CHOICES. THEY
ARE FIRST USUALLY STEPPING OVER
00:08:30.21\00:08:35.91
THE LINE TO BECOMING TOO
FRIENDLY OR TOO FAMILIAR.
00:08:35.94\00:08:38.75
VERY RARELY DOES IT HAPPEN
JUST SUDDENLY UNEXPECTEDLY.
00:08:38.78\00:08:43.22
PEOPLE, LITTLE BY LITTLE, START
OPENING THE DOOR TO A FORBIDDEN
00:08:43.25\00:08:46.15
RELATIONSHIP AND THEY START
MAKING FRIENDS WITH THE OPPOSITE
00:08:46.19\00:08:49.72
SEX WHILE THEY'RE MARRIED
AND THEY START BECOMING INTIMATE
00:08:49.76\00:08:55.06
AND SHARING INTIMATE DETAILS AND
THEY SAY, 'OH, BUT HE JUST MAKES
00:08:55.10\00:08:58.80
ME FEEL SO GOOD AND THEN I GO
HOME AND MY HUSBAND IS SO CRABBY
00:08:58.83\00:09:02.74
AND MEAN AND UNAPPRECIATIVE
AND THIS PERSON IS SO NICE'.
00:09:02.77\00:09:05.41
AND THE DEVIL WILL START GETTING
YOU TO MAKE THESE COMPARISONS
00:09:05.44\00:09:08.74
AND EXCUSES AND YOU CAN EVEN
CONVINCE YOURSELF, 'YOU KNOW, I
00:09:08.78\00:09:12.98
THINK THE LORD IS
LEADING ME IN THIS.
00:09:13.01\00:09:16.15
I KNOW THE BIBLE SAYS ONE THING,
BUT IN MY SPIRIT' - PEOPLE
00:09:16.18\00:09:20.02
CONFUSE A LOT OF
THINGS FOR THE SPIRIT.
00:09:20.06\00:09:22.42
TOO MUCH PIZZA CAN MAKE YOU
THINK THE SPIRIT IS LEADING YOU
00:09:22.46\00:09:26.59
AND JUST SO, YOU KNOW, IF IT'S
NOT IN THE WORD, FRIENDS, DON'T
00:09:26.63\00:09:30.67
FALL FOR THAT. GOD'S
SPIRIT IS NEVER GOING TO
00:09:30.70\00:09:32.83
LEAD CONTRARY TO GOD'S WORD.
YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE WAYS WE
00:09:32.87\00:09:37.67
LEARN HOW TO BE CHRISTIANS
IS THROUGH LOVING THE LORD AND
00:09:37.71\00:09:40.68
LOVING EACH OTHER. THE
BIBLE SAYS YOU'VE GOT TO
00:09:40.71\00:09:43.04
LOVE THE LORD AND
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.
00:09:43.08\00:09:44.65
WHO CAN BE MORE - A CLOSER
NEIGHBOR THAN YOUR SPOUSE?
00:09:44.68\00:09:49.65
HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU LOVE GOD
WHO YOU CAN'T SEE WHEN YOU CAN'T
00:09:49.68\00:09:52.69
LOVE YOUR SPOUSE THAT
YOU'VE MADE A COVENANT WITH.
00:09:52.72\00:09:57.36
AND IF THE BIBLE TELLS US
TO LOVE OUR ENEMIES THEN WHAT
00:09:57.39\00:09:59.66
EXCUSE DO YOU HAVE FOR
NOT LOVING YOUR SPOUSE?

00:10:33.33\00:10:35.73
DOUG: NOW THERE ARE
BIBLE GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE.
00:10:36.36\00:10:38.00
WHAT DOES JESUS SAY?
00:10:38.03\00:10:39.27
IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES YOU GO
TO MATTHEW 19, VERSE 9, "AND I
00:10:39.30\00:10:45.24
SAY TO YOU, WHOEVER DIVORCES
HIS WIFE, EXCEPT FOR SEXUAL
00:10:45.27\00:10:48.78
IMMORALITY, AND MARRIES ANOTHER,
COMMITS ADULTERY;" I KNOW, EVEN
00:10:48.81\00:10:53.18
AS I SPEAK ABOUT THIS, A LOT OF
PEOPLE HERE YOU - STATISTICALLY
00:10:53.21\00:10:58.42
40% OF EVEN PRACTICING
CHRISTIANS THAT ARE OF
00:10:58.45\00:11:03.32
MARRY-ABLE AGE OR HAVE BEEN
MARRIED HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT.
00:11:03.36\00:11:06.16
AND SO WE'RE NOT HERE TO
CONDEMN, WE'RE HERE TO TELL YOU
00:11:06.19\00:11:08.93
WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS AND
THAT WE'RE TO BE CHRISTIANS.
00:11:08.96\00:11:12.20
THE BIBLICAL GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE
AND, BY THE WAY, IF THERE HAS
00:11:12.23\00:11:15.97
BEEN MARITAL INFIDELITY, IF
THERE HAS BEEN SEXUAL INFIDELITY
00:11:16.00\00:11:20.41
IN A MARRIAGE, IT DOESN'T
MEAN YOU HAVE TO GET DIVORCED.
00:11:20.44\00:11:25.05
THERE CAN STILL BE
FORGIVENESS AND HEALING.
00:11:25.08\00:11:27.92
HAVE YOU READ THE BOOK OF HOSEA?
WHERE EVEN AFTER HIS WIFE WAS
00:11:27.95\00:11:31.42
UNFAITHFUL - AND BY THE WAY,
WE'RE THE BRIDE OF CHRIST, THE
00:11:31.45\00:11:34.92
CHURCH, AND HAS THE
CHURCH BEEN UNFAITHFUL?
00:11:34.96\00:11:37.03
LOOK AT THE HISTORY OF ISRAEL.
SO OFTEN THEY WENT AFTER OTHER
00:11:37.06\00:11:39.86
GODS AND HE WOULD FORGIVE
THEM AND BRING THEM BACK AGAIN.
00:11:39.89\00:11:42.90
AND SO CAN EVEN THIS BE
HEALED AND THIS BE FORGIVEN?
00:11:42.93\00:11:46.67
YES IT CAN.
00:11:46.70\00:11:48.97
AND SO YOU LOOK HERE IN MALACHI
CHAPTER 2, VERSE 16, "'FOR THE
00:11:49.00\00:11:53.61
LORD GOD OF ISRAEL SAYS THAT
HE HATES DIVORCE, FOR IT COVERS
00:11:53.64\00:11:57.68
ONE'S GARMENT WITH VIOLENCE,'
SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS."
00:11:57.71\00:12:02.35
THE REASONS FOR REMARRIAGE,
BIBLICALLY, IS IF YOUR SPOUSE
00:12:02.38\00:12:07.46
HAS DIED - PAUL
TALKS ABOUT THAT.
00:12:07.49\00:12:11.53
IF YOU - IF THE MARRIAGE
COVENANT HAS BEEN VIOLATED
00:12:11.56\00:12:14.56
THROUGH ADULTERY AND IF THERE IS
ANY HOPE OF RECONCILIATION - IF
00:12:14.56\00:12:19.80
THERE'S ANY REDEEMABLE
QUALITIES, THE BEST THING YOU
00:12:19.83\00:12:22.30
CAN DO AS A
CHRISTIAN IS SAVE THE MARRIAGE.
00:12:22.34\00:12:25.37
STARTING OVER IS TOUGH.
00:12:25.41\00:12:28.31
AND SOMETIMES YOU MIGHT HAVE
GROUNDS FOR SEPARATION AND WE'LL
00:12:28.34\00:12:31.65
TALK ABOUT THAT
IN JUST A MOMENT.
00:12:31.68\00:12:34.22
AND, YOU KNOW, AT SOME POINT,
IF THE CHURCH IS NOT GOING TO BE
00:12:34.25\00:12:36.99
THE PLACE WHERE GOD SAYS,
'HERE IS THE LINE OF WHAT'S
00:12:37.02\00:12:39.59
APPROPRIATE AND THIS IS A
COVENANT AND IT'S IMPORTANT AND
00:12:39.62\00:12:43.02
IT MEANS SOMETHING, THEN WHERE
IN OUR CULTURE CAN WE LOOK?
00:12:43.06\00:12:47.13
TELL ME. IF IT'S NOT GOING
TO HAPPEN IN THE CHURCH WHERE
00:12:47.20\00:12:49.86
YOU'RE GOING TO DRAW A LINE
AND SAY, 'MARRIAGE IS SACRED.
00:12:49.90\00:12:52.23
IT IS HOLY. IT IS TO BE
PRESERVED.' EVEN IF IT MEANS AT
00:12:52.27\00:12:56.14
THE INCONVENIENCE OF
SOME, THIS INSTITUTION MUST BE
00:12:56.17\00:12:59.41
CAREFULLY GUARDED. IF NOT
AT THE CHURCH, THEN WHERE?
00:12:59.44\00:13:02.78
WHERE ARE WE
GOING TO GO? TELEVISION?
00:13:02.81\00:13:05.25
WHERE ONE GUY'S GOT FOUR WIVES?
WHERE ARE WE GOING TO GO TO
00:13:05.28\00:13:09.15
EXALT MARRIAGE TO THE
HOLY PLACE WHERE IT BELONGS?
00:13:09.18\00:13:14.66
IT'S HERE, ISN'T
IT? IT'S IN GOD'S WORD.
00:13:14.69\00:13:17.06
IT'S IN THE CHURCH.
AND SO THIS IS THE IDEAL.
00:13:17.09\00:13:22.63
NOW MARRIAGE IS NOT JUST -
ADULTERY IS NOT JUST SOMETHING
00:13:22.66\00:13:26.00
THAT IS REVEALED IN AN ACTION.
JESUS ALSO TEACHES US THAT
00:13:26.03\00:13:31.11
ADULTERY CAN HAPPEN
IN AN ATTITUDE, RIGHT?
00:13:31.14\00:13:34.88
MATTHEW CHAPTER 5, VERSE
27, "YE HAVE HEARD IT SAID BY
00:13:34.91\00:13:38.01
THEM OF OLD TIME, YOU SHALT NOT
COMMIT ADULTERY:" - WHEN HE SAYS
00:13:38.05\00:13:40.75
'THEM OF OLD' HE'S ACTUALLY
QUOTING HIMSELF IN THE TEN
00:13:40.78\00:13:43.28
COMMANDMENTS - "BUT I SAY
TO YOU, THAT WHOEVER LOOKS AT A
00:13:43.32\00:13:47.19
WOMAN TO LUST FOR HER HAS
COMMITTED ADULTERY WITH HER
00:13:47.22\00:13:50.49
IN HIS HEART." NOW,
IF A PERSON THINKS A
00:13:50.53\00:13:56.83
LUSTFUL THOUGHT, AND IF YOU CAN
PROVE YOUR SPOUSE HAS THOUGHT A
00:13:56.87\00:14:00.84
LUSTFUL THOUGHT, AND SINCE JESUS
SAYS THEY'VE COMMITTED ADULTERY
00:14:00.87\00:14:04.34
IN THEIR HEART, DO YOU
NOW HAVE GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE?
00:14:04.37\00:14:08.54
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
DO YOU WANT TO ANSWER?
00:14:08.58\00:14:10.31
ANYONE WANT TO
VENTURE? BOLD ENOUGH? NO.
00:14:10.35\00:14:14.05
BECAUSE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A THOUGHT AND AN ACT.
00:14:14.08\00:14:18.29
THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MINUTE.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT MURDER CAN
00:14:18.32\00:14:24.89
YOU BE EXECUTED
ACCORDING TO OUR GOVERNMENT? NO.
00:14:24.93\00:14:29.26
BECAUSE A PERSON THINKS A
MURDEROUS THOUGHT DOESN'T MEAN
00:14:29.30\00:14:31.90
THEY ARE A MURDERER AND THEY ARE
NOT GOING TO BE PROSECUTED AS A
00:14:31.93\00:14:34.27
MURDERER BECAUSE
THEY THINK A THOUGHT.
00:14:34.30\00:14:35.87
NOW IF YOU CONSPIRE - IF YOU GET
THE TOOLS AND THE WEAPONS AND
00:14:35.90\00:14:38.34
YOU'RE GOING TO PLAN IT -
YES, THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY.
00:14:38.37\00:14:41.34
BUT THINKING A THOUGHT IS NOT
THE SAME AS DOING IT AND I'VE
00:14:41.38\00:14:43.78
HAD SOME PEOPLE WHO'VE SAID TO
ME, 'PASTOR DOUG, I MAY AS WELL
00:14:43.81\00:14:46.92
GO AHEAD AND DO IT BECAUSE I'M
THINKING ABOUT IT AND JESUS SAID
00:14:46.95\00:14:50.62
IF YOU THINK ABOUT
IT, IT'S THE SAME THING.
00:14:50.65\00:14:52.62
NO HE DOESN'T SAY
IT'S THE SAME THING.
00:14:52.65\00:14:54.56
HE'S TRYING TO SHOW YOU THAT
HE NOT ONLY WANTS US TO KEEP THE
00:14:54.59\00:14:57.53
SEVENTH COMMANDMENT AND NOT
LITERALLY COMMIT ADULTERY OR
00:14:57.56\00:15:00.13
FORNICATION, HE'S TRYING TO TELL
US I WANT YOU TO DO IT IN YOUR
00:15:00.16\00:15:03.16
HEART AS WELL BECAUSE IF YOU'RE
KEEPING THE COMMANDMENT IN YOUR
00:15:03.20\00:15:06.87
HEART, YOU WILL
KEEP IT IN YOUR MARRIAGE.
00:15:06.90\00:15:09.77
AND I WANT TO REMIND EVERYBODY,
ESPECIALLY OUR YOUNG PEOPLE OR
00:15:09.80\00:15:13.54
ANY SINGLES HERE, THE SEVENTH
COMMANDMENT IS NOT JUST FOR
00:15:13.58\00:15:16.28
MARRIED COUPLES. THE
SEVENTH COMMANDMENT IS FOR
00:15:16.31\00:15:18.98
EVERYBODY BECAUSE THAT COVERS
THE SUBJECT OF FORNICATION AND
00:15:19.01\00:15:24.32
THAT'S ANY KIND OF SEXUAL
ACTIVITY OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE.
00:15:24.35\00:15:28.76
AND SO WE'RE ALL
CALLED TO HOLINESS.
00:15:28.79\00:15:31.76
HE SAYS, 'BLESSED ARE THE PURE
IN HEART, THEY WILL SEE GOD'.
00:15:31.79\00:15:34.23
HE WANTS US TO BE
PURE IN OUR HEARTS.
00:15:34.30\00:15:36.10
SO JESUS WASN'T SAYING, 'WELL,
YOU'RE THINKING IT, YOU MAY AS
00:15:36.13\00:15:38.23
WELL DO IT.' HE'S SAYING, 'IF
YOU'LL BE SAVED IN YOUR HEART -
00:15:38.27\00:15:41.44
IF YOU'LL LET ME RECREATE YOUR
HEART - YOU WON'T HAVE TO WORRY
00:15:41.47\00:15:44.11
ABOUT THE LETTER OF THE LAW
BECAUSE YOU'LL BE KEEPING THE
00:15:44.14\00:15:46.88
SPIRIT OF THE LAW.
YOU'LL AUTOMATICALLY KEEP THE
00:15:46.91\00:15:49.24
LETTER OF THE LAW WHEN YOU KEEP
THE SPIRIT. ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:15:49.28\00:15:54.08
DON'T YOU HAVE TO FIRST THINK IT
IN YOUR HEART BEFORE YOU ACT IT
00:15:54.12\00:15:55.82
OUT? AND LET'S FACE IT, IN
THE WORLD, PEOPLE TREAT SEX LIKE
00:15:55.85\00:16:00.89
SHAKING HANDS. THAT'S
NOT THE WAY IT IS WITH
00:16:00.92\00:16:03.32
CHRIST. THE
BIBLE HASN'T CHANGED.
00:16:03.36\00:16:06.16
YES, OUR CULTURE HAS CHANGED
BUT THE TRUTH HAS NOT CHANGED.
00:16:06.19\00:16:08.86
JESUS SAID, 'I AM THE
LORD. I DO NOT CHANGE'.
00:16:08.90\00:16:12.10
WHAT NEEDS CHANGING IS WE DO.
00:16:12.13\00:16:14.80
GOD'S CHURCH NEEDS TO START
BEING A LIGHT ON A HILL AND
00:16:14.84\00:16:17.14
SHOWING THE WORLD WHAT HOLINESS
LOOKS LIKE AND THAT MEANS IN OUR
00:16:17.17\00:16:22.54
LIVES AND IN OUR
HOMES AND IN OUR MARRIAGES.
00:16:22.58\00:16:26.61
PETER, DESCRIBING HIS AGE -
AND IT'S NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM
00:16:26.65\00:16:29.58
OURS - PETER - 2 PETER CHAPTER
2, VERSE 14, "HAVING EYES FULL
00:16:29.62\00:16:33.89
OF ADULTERY, AND THAT
CANNOT CEASE FROM SIN, ENTICING
00:16:33.92\00:16:37.76
UNSTABLE SOULS." YOU
NOTICE, IT STARTS WITH A
00:16:37.79\00:16:40.70
LOOK AND - THAT LINGERING LOOK,
DID IT GET DAVID IN TROUBLE?
00:16:40.73\00:16:47.30
PROVERBS 9:17, "STOLEN WATER IS
SWEET, AND BREAD EATEN IN SECRET
00:16:47.34\00:16:51.54
IS PLEASANT." PEOPLE
THINK, 'WELL, IT WAS A SECRET
00:16:51.57\00:16:54.38
RENDEZVOUS. NO ONE WILL KNOW.'
SOLOMON GOES ON TO SAY, "BUT HE
00:16:54.41\00:16:58.58
DOES NOT KNOW THAT THE DEAD ARE
THERE, AND THAT HER GUESTS" -
00:16:58.61\00:17:01.78
SPEAKING OF AN HARLOT -
"ARE IN THE DEPTHS OF HELL."
00:17:01.82\00:17:05.42
ADULTERY DOES NOT
BEGIN BELOW THE BELT.
00:17:05.45\00:17:10.79
ADULTERY BEGINS ABOVE THE
NECK. IT STARTS IN THE MIND.
00:17:10.83\00:17:16.93
IF WE KEEP OUR MINDS FIXED ON
THOSE THINGS THAT ARE GOOD AND
00:17:16.97\00:17:21.10
IF WE MAKE A COVENANT WITH OUR
EYES, AS JOB SAYS, IT CAN KEEP
00:17:21.14\00:17:25.04
US OUT OF A LOT OF TROUBLE.
YOU LOOK, FOR INSTANCE, IN JOB
00:17:25.07\00:17:28.21
31, VERSE 1, - LOOK AWAY AND
LIVE - HE SAYS, "I HAVE MADE A
00:17:28.24\00:17:33.28
COVENANT WITH MY EYES; WHY
THEN SHOULD I LOOK UPON A YOUNG
00:17:33.31\00:17:36.05
WOMAN?" WE'VE GOT
TO LEARN HOW TO BOUNCE
00:17:36.08\00:17:38.39
OUR EYES WHEN YOU SEE
SOMETHING THAT'S NOT RIGHT.
00:17:38.42\00:17:42.92
DID JOSEPH - YOU KNOW I
LOVE THE STORY OF JOSEPH.
00:17:42.96\00:17:45.06
HE'S ONE OF THE HEROES IN THE
BIBLE, NOT JUST BECAUSE OF HIS
00:17:45.09\00:17:48.36
FORGIVENESS, BUT JOSEPH IS ONE
OF THE RARE EXCEPTIONS YOU FIND
00:17:48.40\00:17:51.67
IN THE BIBLE OF A GODLY MAN
WHO SAID NO TO A TEMPTATION THAT
00:17:51.70\00:17:55.97
WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY
DIFFICULT FOR MOST PEOPLE.
00:17:56.00\00:17:58.61
HE SAID, 'NO, HOW
CAN I SIN AGAINST GOD?'
00:17:58.64\00:18:00.48
HIS LOVE WAS SO STRONG FOR
GOD HE SAID, 'I CAN'T DO THIS
00:18:00.51\00:18:02.88
THING'. HE SAID NO TO ADULTERY.
00:18:02.91\00:18:05.48
SO WHENEVER WE THINK, 'OH, WE'RE
ALL HUMAN' - I REMEMBER HEARING
00:18:05.51\00:18:08.25
ONE WOMAN SAY,
'ANY MAN COULD BE HAD.
00:18:08.28\00:18:12.32
ANY MAN COULD BE HAD' - AND I
WAS INSULTED BY THAT BECAUSE I
00:18:12.35\00:18:14.69
DON'T BELIEVE THAT'S TRUE.
I THINK THAT WHEN PEOPLE HAVE
00:18:14.72\00:18:18.03
GOD'S SPIRIT THAT WE
CAN LIVE LIVES OF INTEGRITY.
00:18:18.06\00:18:22.86
PROVERBS CHAPTER 4, VERSE
25, "LET YOUR EYES LOOK STRAIGHT
00:18:22.90\00:18:26.13
AHEAD AND YOUR EYELIDS
LOOK RIGHT BEFORE YOU" -
00:18:26.17\00:18:28.60
HE'S TALKING ABOUT
WHEN YOU'RE TEMPTED.
00:18:28.64\00:18:30.97
PSALM 101, VERSE 3, "I WILL SET
NOTHING WICKED BEFORE MY EYES; I
00:18:31.01\00:18:35.81
HATE THE WORK OF THOSE WHO FALL
AWAY; IT WILL NOT CLING TO ME."
00:18:35.84\00:18:39.95
AND THEN SOLOMON ALSO SAID
- PROVERBS 5:15 - "DRINK WATER
00:18:39.98\00:18:43.52
FROM YOUR OWN CISTERN, AND
RUNNING WATER FROM YOUR OWN
00:18:43.55\00:18:46.59
WELL. LET THEM BE YOUR
OWN, AND NOT FOR STRANGERS WITH
00:18:46.62\00:18:50.23
YOU." NOW, YOU KNOW,
00:18:50.26\00:18:51.76
IT'S WONDERFUL IF
YOU'VE GOT A SPRING IN YOUR
00:18:51.79\00:18:54.10
BACKYARD AND YOU'VE GOT YOUR OWN
WELL AND YOU CAN DRINK ALL THE
00:18:54.13\00:18:56.23
WATER YOU WANT FROM YOUR
OWN WELL - THAT'D BE SUCH A
00:18:56.26\00:18:58.03
BLESSING. WITHIN
MARRIAGE, THAT INTIMACY
00:18:58.07\00:19:02.44
IS A BLESSING.
MATTER OF FACT, IN THE BIBLE
00:19:02.47\00:19:06.78
IT'S COMMANDED THAT
THE COUPLES COME TOGETHER.
00:19:06.81\00:19:09.41
SO MUCH OF THE MARRIAGE
COUNSELING THAT HAPPENS IS
00:19:09.44\00:19:12.81
ALMOST NEVER BECAUSE
COUPLES ARE HAVING TOO MUCH SEX.
00:19:12.85\00:19:16.65
IT'S BECAUSE
THEY'RE NOT HAVING ENOUGH.
00:19:16.69\00:19:19.42
IF THE TRUTH BE KNOWN,
NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN THAT'S A
00:19:19.45\00:19:23.26
PROBLEM. AND SO,
WITHIN MARRIAGE, IT'S A
00:19:23.29\00:19:26.13
WONDERFUL THING. BUT
OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE, WITH
00:19:26.16\00:19:29.33
SOMEONE THAT IS NOT YOUR SPOUSE,
THAT'S WHERE IT'S A PROBLEM.
00:19:29.36\00:19:34.60
NOW, HAVING SAID ALL THIS,
I THINK IT'S PRETTY CLEAR WHAT
00:19:34.64\00:19:37.17
ADULTERY IS AND THAT IT'S A SIN.
I WANT TO ALSO MAKE IT CLEAR IT
00:19:37.21\00:19:41.74
IS NOT THE UNPARDONABLE
SIN. HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED?
00:19:41.78\00:19:46.45
AND EVEN DIVORCE AND REMARRIAGE
WITHOUT BIBLICAL GROUNDS, THE
00:19:46.48\00:19:52.92
BIBLE DOES NOT CALL
THAT THE UNPARDONABLE SIN.
00:19:52.95\00:19:55.76
AFTER DAVID SINNED WITH
BATHSHEBA - WAS THAT A FORBIDDEN
00:19:55.79\00:19:58.73
ADULTEROUS RELATIONSHIP?
YES IT WAS - IN EVERY WAY -
00:19:58.76\00:20:02.20
CONNECTED WITH
MURDER. DID DAVID SUFFER?
00:20:02.23\00:20:06.20
DID BATHSHEBA SUFFER?
DAVID LOST FOUR OF HIS SONS.
00:20:06.23\00:20:11.47
THE LORD, DIRECTLY IN THE
PROPHECY OF NATHAN, CONNECTED
00:20:11.51\00:20:14.24
THE LOSS OF FOUR
CHILDREN WITH HIS ACTION.
00:20:14.28\00:20:18.91
SO, DO YOU THINK DAVID
THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH IT?
00:20:18.95\00:20:22.58
SOMETIMES PEOPLE FALL INTO
ADULTEROUS RELATIONSHIPS AND
00:20:22.62\00:20:24.99
THEY DON'T REALIZE WHAT THE
CONSEQUENCES ARE GOING TO BE.
00:20:25.02\00:20:28.36
A LOT OF KIDS HAVE BEEN
PERMANENTLY SCARRED BECAUSE OF
00:20:28.39\00:20:32.63
THE DECISION THAT THEIR
PARENTS MADE - A VERY SELFISH
00:20:32.66\00:20:35.96
DECISION, USUALLY. WHEN
PEOPLE COMMIT ADULTERY, WHO
00:20:36.00\00:20:39.33
ARE THEY THINKING ABOUT?
GOD AND HIS GLORY OR THEMSELVES?
00:20:39.37\00:20:44.14
WHAT ABOUT THE
WOMAN AT THE WELL?
00:20:44.17\00:20:47.24
JOHN 8:38 - THE SCRIBES BROUGHT
THIS WOMAN CAUGHT IN THE ACT OF
00:20:47.28\00:20:51.28
ADULTERY. SHE WAS GUILTY.
00:20:51.31\00:20:54.38
ACCORDING TO THE LAW
SHE SHOULD BE STONED.
00:20:54.42\00:20:56.42
ACCORDING TO THE LAW THE
MAN SHOULD BE STONED TOO.
00:20:56.45\00:20:58.89
I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED, HOW IN THE
WORLD WAS IT THEY WERE ABLE TO
00:20:58.92\00:21:00.96
CATCH HER IN THE
ACT BUT NOT THE MAN?
00:21:00.99\00:21:04.29
THAT'S PRETTY STRANGE.
AND, EVIDENTLY, SHE WAS SET UP.
00:21:04.33\00:21:10.83
MANY THINK THIS MAY HAVE BEEN
MARY MAGDALENE'S FIRST ENCOUNTER
00:21:10.87\00:21:13.57
WITH JESUS AND I COULD GIVE
YOU MY OTHER ARGUMENTS FOR THAT
00:21:13.60\00:21:16.10
LATER. BUT THEY ALL STOOD
AROUND READY TO EXECUTE HER.
00:21:16.14\00:21:22.44
HE SAID, 'HE THAT IS WITHOUT
SIN, CAST THE FIRST STONE'.
00:21:22.48\00:21:26.45
YOU KNOW ONE REASON THAT
ADULTERY IS SO RAMPANT IN THE
00:21:26.48\00:21:28.75
CHURCH IS BECAUSE OF THIS STORY
AND NO ONE WANTS TO EVER DEAL
00:21:28.78\00:21:32.49
WITH ADULTERY IN A CHURCH - ON A
CHURCH BOARD - NO ONE WANTS TO -
00:21:32.52\00:21:36.69
I SHOULDN'T SAY 'NO ONE' -
VERY FEW PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO
00:21:36.73\00:21:38.63
ADDRESS THOSE THINGS
BECAUSE IT'S SO PREVALENT.
00:21:38.66\00:21:40.96
WE ALL QUOTE THE SCRIPTURE 'HE
THAT IS WITHOUT SIN, LET THEM
00:21:40.96\00:21:44.43
CAST THE FIRST STONE' AND PEOPLE
TAKE THAT TO MEAN THAT WE'RE NOT
00:21:44.47\00:21:47.47
SUPPOSED TO DEAL WITH IT AT ALL
SO WE'RE ALL KIND OF AMBIVALENT
00:21:47.50\00:21:52.54
ABOUT SOMETHING THAT
GOD'S VERY CLEAR ABOUT.
00:21:52.57\00:21:54.38
WHEN JESUS SAID 'HE THAT IS
WITHOUT SIN, LET HIM NOW CAST
00:21:54.41\00:21:57.48
THE FIRST STONE' - THEY
WERE GOING TO KILL MARY!
00:21:57.51\00:22:00.15
THEY WERE GOING TO
EXECUTE THIS WOMAN.
00:22:00.18\00:22:02.95
AND WHEN HER ACCUSERS LEFT
HE SAID, 'WOMAN, WHERE ARE THOSE
00:22:02.98\00:22:06.69
THINE ACCUSERS? HAS
NO MAN CONDEMNED YOU?'
00:22:06.72\00:22:08.92
SHE SAID, 'NO MAN, LORD'.
HE SAID, 'NEITHER DO I CONDEMN
00:22:08.96\00:22:12.43
YOU'. NOW WAS JESUS SAYING THAT
00:22:12.46\00:22:14.50
ADULTERY IS OKAY, I'M NOT
GOING TO CONDEMN IT ANYMORE?
00:22:14.56\00:22:17.23
SOME PEOPLE HAVE
READ IT THAT WAY.
00:22:17.27\00:22:19.80
WHENEVER SOMEONE IN THE CHURCH
FALLS INTO ADULTERY, INSTEAD OF
00:22:19.83\00:22:21.80
THERE BEING ANY KIND OF CENSURE
OR COUNSELING, THEY JUST SAY,
00:22:21.84\00:22:25.81
'WELL, JESUS SAID 'I DON'T
CONDEMN' SO GO AND FREELY SIN.
00:22:25.84\00:22:29.64
IS THAT WHAT HE SAID? NO,
HE SAID, 'I DO NOT CONDEMN YOU.
00:22:29.68\00:22:32.98
GO AND SIN NO MORE'.
YOU KNOW WHY HE COULD SAY,
00:22:33.01\00:22:35.05
'I DON'T CONDEMN YOU'?
BECAUSE HE WAS GOING TO TAKE HER
00:22:35.08\00:22:38.12
DEATH PENALTY. IS
THE PENALTY FOR SIN STILL
00:22:38.15\00:22:41.22
DEATH? IS THE
PENALTY FOR BREAKING THE
00:22:41.26\00:22:44.19
SEVENTH COMMANDMENT STILL
SIN? AND SO IS IT STILL DEATH?
00:22:44.23\00:22:49.06
AND SO HOW COULD JESUS
TELL MARY YOU'RE FREE TO GO?
00:22:49.10\00:22:52.30
BECAUSE HE WAS GOING
TO TAKE HER DEATH PENALTY.
00:22:52.33\00:22:54.74
THAT'S WHY HE TOLD HER 'GO AND
SIN NO MORE'. HE CALLED IT A SIN
00:22:54.77\00:23:00.14
AND HE SAID 'STOP IT. I'LL
FORGIVE YOU. DON'T DO IT ANYMORE
00:23:00.18\00:23:04.98
BECAUSE I'LL DIE FOR
YOU.' DOES THAT MAKE SENSE?
00:23:05.01\00:23:09.02
BUT ISN'T IT INTERESTING THAT
BOTH - MARY MAGDALENE WAS THE
00:23:09.05\00:23:13.72
FIRST ONE TO PROCLAIM THE RISEN
LORD AND THE WOMAN AT THE WELL
00:23:13.76\00:23:17.33
WAS THE FIRST ONE TO
PROCLAIM HIM AMONG THE GENTILES?
00:23:17.36\00:23:20.86
SO IT IS SOMETHING THAT GOD CAN
FORGIVE, BUT GOD IS ALSO TELLING
00:23:20.90\00:23:25.10
US HE STILL WANTS US TO
OBEY. ADULTERY IS STILL A SIN.
00:23:25.13\00:23:30.34
HE'S NOT RECOMMENDING THAT
WE DO A LITTLE LESS OF IT, HE'S
00:23:30.37\00:23:34.38
SAYING, 'THOU SHALL
NOT COMMIT ADULTERY'.
00:23:34.41\00:23:39.88
THIS IS THE WILL OF GOD.
00:23:39.91\00:23:41.22
HE WANTS US TO BE A HOLY PEOPLE
AND HE WANTS US NOT TO COMMIT
00:23:41.25\00:23:44.69
ADULTERY ON HIM BECAUSE,
ULTIMATELY, HUSBANDS ARE TO LOVE
00:23:44.72\00:23:49.69
THEIR WIVES AS
CHRIST LOVES THE CHURCH.
00:23:49.72\00:23:51.63
AND YOU, AS PART OF THE CHURCH,
HE LOVES YOU AS A BRIDEGROOM.
00:23:51.66\00:23:54.13
WOULD YOU WANT
TO BREAK HIS HEART?
00:23:54.20\00:23:55.93
ANY TIME ANYBODY FLIRTS WITH THE
IDEA OF COMMITTING ADULTERY ON
00:23:55.96\00:23:59.83
THEIR SPOUSE, THEY'RE GOING TO
BE COMMITTING ADULTERY ALSO ON
00:23:59.87\00:24:02.37
THE LORD AND ON THEIR
FAMILY AND ON SOCIETY.
00:24:02.40\00:24:05.67
IT'S NOT JUST ONE
PERSON THAT'S GOING TO BE HURT.
00:24:05.71\00:24:11.28
DAVID, WHEN HE REPENTED OF
HIS SIN, IN PSALM 51 HE SAID,
00:24:11.31\00:24:14.88
'AGAINST THEE AND
THEE ONLY HAVE I SINNED'.
00:24:14.92\00:24:17.02
JOSEPH, WHEN HE WAS TEMPTED TO
COMMIT ADULTERY WITH POTIPHAR'S
00:24:17.05\00:24:19.29
WIFE - HE SAID, 'HOW CAN I
DO THIS WICKED THING AND SIN
00:24:19.32\00:24:22.32
AGAINST GOD?' AND SO
THE BEST REASON TO KEEP
00:24:22.36\00:24:25.53
THIS COMMANDMENT AND EVERY
COMMANDMENT IS BECAUSE JESUS
00:24:25.56\00:24:29.43
LOVES US AND HE HAD TO
DIE TO SAVE US FROM OUR SINS.
00:24:29.46\00:24:33.57
ISN'T THAT RIGHT? AND
IT'S THROUGH HIS SHED BLOOD
00:24:33.60\00:24:37.77
THAT WE'RE GIVEN
POWER TO LIVE HOLY LIVES.
00:24:37.81\00:24:40.61
