THE EXPRESSION, 'IGNORANCE IS

BLISS'? THERE'S A LOT OF
CHRISTIANS WHO ARE GOING BY
00:01:13.13\00:01:15.80
'IGNORANCE IS BLISS'.
THEY SAY, 'GET RID OF THE LAW.
00:01:15.84\00:01:18.14
I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT THE LAW.
00:01:18.17\00:01:19.37

FACTS PRESENTS. >>YOU
KNOW, I THOUGHT I'D GIVE
00:01:43.80\00:01:50.84
YOU A LITTLE AMAZING
FACT AT THE BEGINNING.
00:01:50.87\00:01:53.24
FOR YEARS, AS THESE ANCIENT
SHIPS WOULD MAKE THEIR WAY
00:01:53.27\00:01:56.28
ACROSS THE OCEAN, ONE OF
THE ONLY THINGS THAT KEPT THOSE
00:01:56.31\00:01:59.61
SHIPS FROM SINKING WAS ROCKS.
NOW YOU MIGHT BE SURPRISED,
00:01:59.65\00:02:04.92
'HOW DO ROCKS KEEP
A SHIP FROM SINKING?'
00:02:04.95\00:02:08.02
BUT MANY OF THE ANCIENT
SAILBOATS, THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT
00:02:08.06\00:02:11.86
WHEN THEY HAD A TALL MAST AND
THAT LEVERAGE WHEN THEY WERE IN
00:02:11.89\00:02:14.83
THE WIND AND THE WAVES, TO GIVE
THEM THE BALLAST AND THE CENTER
00:02:14.86\00:02:18.63
OF GRAVITY THEY NEEDED TO
PREVENT THEM FROM CAPSIZING,
00:02:18.67\00:02:22.47
THEY WOULD TAKE VERY CAREFULLY
CHOSEN STONES THAT WOULDN'T
00:02:22.50\00:02:25.81
CRACK AND TURN INTO
GRAVEL, THEY'D PLACE THEM,
00:02:25.84\00:02:28.71
STRATEGICALLY, ACROSS THE BOTTOM
KEEL OF THE SHIP - AND THEY WERE
00:02:28.74\00:02:32.61
CALLED BALLAST STONES - AND
IT GAVE THE SHIP A CENTER OF
00:02:32.65\00:02:37.69
GRAVITY - KEPT IT FROM CAPSIZING
IN THE WIND AND IN THE WAVES AND
00:02:37.72\00:02:41.92
IT'S BEEN
INTERESTING TO GEOLOGISTS.
00:02:41.96\00:02:45.06
AS THEY'VE GONE TO DIFFERENT
PORTS AROUND THE WORLD, THEY
00:02:45.09\00:02:47.40
WILL FIND - IN THE CARIBBEAN,
FOR INSTANCE, AND PROBABLY ON
00:02:47.40\00:02:49.83
THE COAST OF FLORIDA, ALL
OF THESE INTERESTING GRANITE
00:02:49.86\00:02:52.83
STONES. NOW, IF
YOU'RE A FLORIDIAN, DO
00:02:52.87\00:02:54.77
YOU HAVE ANY GRANITE IN
FLORIDA? NO, EVEN THE ROADS ARE
00:02:54.80\00:02:58.37
MADE OF CORAL HERE,
RIGHT? EVERYTHING'S CORAL.
00:02:58.41\00:03:00.98
BUT THEY FOUND, IN THE PORTS,
THEY - MATTER OF FACT, THE
00:03:01.01\00:03:04.11
HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN FLORIDA,
I THINK, IS AN OVERPASS, RIGHT?
00:03:04.15\00:03:07.15
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) THE FREEWAY -
THEY FOUND, IN THE PORTS, THESE
00:03:07.18\00:03:11.12
GRANITE STONES AND THEY
SAID, 'HOW'D THEY GET HERE?
00:03:11.15\00:03:13.82
AND THEY WERE IDENTIFIED WITH
ROCKS THAT YOU'D FIND IN ITALY
00:03:13.86\00:03:16.52
OR SPAIN OR PORTUGAL OR FRANCE
OR ENGLAND - IT'S BECAUSE, WHEN
00:03:16.56\00:03:20.40
MANY OF THE SHIPS CAME OVER
THEY TOOK SOME OF THEIR BALLAST
00:03:20.43\00:03:22.83
STONES, THEY'D DUMP THEM OUT AND
THEY'D ADD CARGO THAT THEY PUT
00:03:22.86\00:03:25.70
LOWER IN THE HOLD AND
IT GAVE THEM STABILITY.
00:03:25.73\00:03:29.54
IT KEPT THEM FROM CAPSIZING.
IT KEPT THEM FROM BLOWING
00:03:29.57\00:03:32.51
OVER AND SINKING - A
STONE. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU NEED A
00:03:32.54\00:03:36.95
BALLAST STONE IN YOUR
LIFE. SO, TONIGHT WE HAVE A VERY
00:03:36.98\00:03:41.22
IMPORTANT PROGRAM AND
IT'S DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT
00:03:41.25\00:03:43.79
OF THE LAW OF GOD. NOW
THE TITLE OF THE SERIES IS
00:03:43.82\00:03:47.29
THE LAW OF THE LAMB , BECAUSE
JESUS IS GOD THE SON. AMEN?
00:03:47.32\00:03:51.26
>>AMEN. >>GOD PUT
HIS WORD - THE TEN
00:03:51.29\00:03:54.56
COMMANDMENTS - ON
TWO TABLES OF STONE.
00:03:54.56\00:03:58.07
THIS IS THE LAW OF THE
LAMB. IT IS WRITTEN BY THE
00:03:58.10\00:04:00.37
LORD, BY HIS OWN FINGER.
NOW, JAMES USES AN ILLUSTRATION
00:04:00.40\00:04:04.47
WHERE HE SAYS, 'THE LAW OF GOD
IS LIKE A MIRROR; WHOSO LOOKS
00:04:04.51\00:04:08.08
INTO THE PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY
AND CONTINUES THEREIN, NOT BEING
00:04:08.11\00:04:11.51
A FORGETFUL HEARER, BUT A DOER
OF THE WORK, THE SAME MAN WILL
00:04:11.55\00:04:14.65
BE BLESSED IN WHAT HE DOES.'
AND YOU CAN SEE THE REFERENCE
00:04:14.68\00:04:17.62
THERE FOR JAMES 1:23.
AND THEN, IF YOU'RE WONDERING
00:04:17.65\00:04:20.26
WHAT LAW OF LIBERTY IS JAMES
TALKING ABOUT, HE THEN GOES ON
00:04:20.29\00:04:23.86
TO QUOTE FROM TWO OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:04:23.89\00:04:27.10
SO, LET ME SEE IF I CAN
ILLUSTRATE WHY THIS WOULD BE
00:04:27.13\00:04:31.97
IMPORTANT USING THE PRINCIPLE
THAT JAMES WAS TALKING ABOUT
00:04:32.00\00:04:41.51
THERE. ALRIGHT, NOW, DO
YOU SEE ANYTHING DIFFERENT?
00:04:41.54\00:04:44.38
>>YES. >>LET'S
SUPPOSE THAT THIS IS
00:04:44.41\00:04:49.18
DIRT. I DON'T SEE IT.
00:04:49.22\00:04:54.82
NOW YOU SEE THAT
I'VE GOT A PROBLEM.
00:04:54.86\00:04:57.43
I WENT UP TO A GUY IN THE
AIRPORT - NEVER MET HIM BEFORE -
00:04:57.46\00:05:00.33
BUT HE WENT THROUGH SECURITY
- YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO TAKE OFF
00:05:00.36\00:05:02.50
YOUR JACKET AND PUT YOUR JACKET
BACK ON - AND HIS COLLAR WAS ALL
00:05:02.53\00:05:05.53
FLIPPED AROUND - HE DIDN'T KNOW
IT. AND, YOU KNOW, YOUR IQ LOOKS
00:05:05.57\00:05:07.97
LOWER WHEN YOU WALK
AROUND LIKE THAT. (LAUGHTER)
00:05:08.00\00:05:10.37
AND NO GUY - NO GUY WANTS THAT
TO HAPPEN AND SO, I SAID, 'HEY,
00:05:10.41\00:05:13.94
PARDON ME, BROTHER,' - I SAID
- 'LET ME HELP YOU WITH THIS.'
00:05:13.98\00:05:15.81
YOU KNOW, AND I
FIXED HIS COLLAR.
00:05:15.84\00:05:17.85
AND HE LOOKED AT
ME REALLY STRANGE.
00:05:17.88\00:05:19.41
I THOUGHT, 'I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T
MEAN TO MEDDLE,' - I SAID -
00:05:19.45\00:05:21.42
'YOUR COLLAR WAS FLIPPED AROUND
BACKWARDS.' I WALKED AWAY, I
00:05:21.45\00:05:23.22
WENT IN THE RESTROOM, MY COLLAR
WAS FLIPPED AROUND BACKWARDS -
00:05:23.25\00:05:26.62
(RAUCOUS LAUGHTER) I'D
GONE THROUGH SECURITY TOO.
00:05:26.65\00:05:31.06
HE'S LOOKING AT ME AND THINKS,
'BOY, REMOVE THE MOTE FROM YOUR
00:05:31.09\00:05:34.36
OWN EYE BEFORE YOU - YOU'VE GOT
A BEAM IN YOUR OWN EYE, YOU'RE
00:05:34.36\00:05:38.10
FIXIN' MINE.' SO, I DON'T
SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH ME.
00:05:38.13\00:05:43.94
I DIDN'T SEE MY JACKET
WAS MESSED UP THAT DAY.
00:05:43.97\00:05:46.51
IF I'M GOING TO SEE IT - WHEN
DID I NOTICE THAT MY COLLAR WAS
00:05:46.54\00:05:48.88
ALL CALLYWAMP -
WHEN I LOOKED IN WHAT?
00:05:48.91\00:05:51.91
I WISH I HAD A MIRROR.
IT JUST SO HAPPENS I'VE GOT
00:05:51.95\00:05:55.88
A FRIEND IN HIGH PLACES.
ALRIGHT, SO, I FEEL OKAY NOW.
00:05:55.92\00:06:01.69
I FEEL JUST LIKE I DID
TEN MINUTES AGO, BUT YOU SAY
00:06:01.72\00:06:03.46
SOMETHING'S CHANGED.
I'VE GOT SOMETHING WRONG.
00:06:03.49\00:06:07.20
IT'S DIRT. IT'S SIN,
RIGHT? SO, I GO LIKE THIS AND I
00:06:07.23\00:06:11.77
LOOK AND I THINK, 'OH,
WOW. THAT'S EMBARRASSING.
00:06:11.80\00:06:14.24
THAT LOOKS REALLY SILLY. I
DON'T FEEL SO GOOD ANYMORE.
00:06:14.27\00:06:17.87
I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING'S WRONG.'
OBVIOUSLY I FELT GOOD BEFORE I
00:06:17.91\00:06:21.54
LOOKED IN THE MIRROR, SO
WHAT'S WRONG IS THE MIRROR.
00:06:21.58\00:06:27.12
IF I JUST GET RID OF THE
MIRROR, EVERYTHING'S OKAY.
00:06:27.15\00:06:30.42
>>NO. >>RIGHT?
00:06:30.45\00:06:32.25
>>NOPE. >>BUT, YOU
KNOW, YOU EVER HEARD
00:06:32.29\00:06:35.09
THE EXPRESSION
'IGNORANCE IS BLISS'?
00:06:35.12\00:06:38.06
THERE'S A LOT CHRISTIANS WHO ARE
GOING BY 'IGNORANCE IS BLISS'.
00:06:38.09\00:06:41.13
THEY SAY, 'GET RID OF THE LAW.
I DON'T WANT TO LOOK AT THE LAW.
00:06:41.16\00:06:43.20
LAW MAKES ME FEEL BAD.' BUT, YOU
KNOW, IT'S LOOKING IN THE LAW
00:06:43.23\00:06:46.47
THAT GIVES YOU CONVICTION - THAT
MAKES YOU SAY, 'WOW, SOMETHING
00:06:46.50\00:06:49.57
NEEDS TO BE DONE.' AND THEN
THERE'S SOME WHO THINK, 'WELL, I
00:06:49.60\00:06:52.74
FELT OKAY UNTIL I LOOKED IN THE
MIRROR SO, SINCE THIS SHOWED IT
00:06:52.77\00:06:55.94
TO ME, THIS SHOULD
PROBABLY BE WHAT TAKES IT AWAY.
00:06:55.98\00:06:59.88
AND SO, HOW AM I GOING TO DO
TRYING TO, YOU KNOW, TAKE IT OFF
00:06:59.91\00:07:03.22
WITH THE
MIRROR?' IS THAT WHAT THE
00:07:03.25\00:07:04.19
FUNCTION OF THIS IS? >>NO.
00:07:04.22\00:07:05.79
>>THIS IS - IT SHOWS IT TO
ME BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE IT AWAY.
00:07:05.82\00:07:09.32
SO IT'S USELESS. JUST GET
RID OF IT. I'LL FEEL BETTER.
00:07:09.36\00:07:12.79
THE FUNCTION OF THE MIRROR
IS NOT TO TAKE IT AWAY, IT IS
00:07:12.83\00:07:14.60
SIMPLY TO SHOW ME THAT
I'VE GOT SOMETHING WRONG.
00:07:14.63\00:07:17.00
SO LET'S SUPPOSE THIS
IS DIRT - THIS IS A SIN.
00:07:17.03\00:07:19.83
THIS DOESN'T TAKE IT AWAY,
IT'S SIMPLY SUPPOSED TO SHOW ME.
00:07:19.87\00:07:23.51
SO WHAT DO I DO
TO TAKE AWAY MY SIN?
00:07:23.54\00:07:25.97
WHAT CAN WASH AWAY MY SIN?
00:07:26.01\00:07:27.71
>>NOTHING BUT
THE BLOOD OF JESUS.'
00:07:27.74\00:07:29.28
>>THE BLOOD -
BOY, I WISH I HAD AN
00:07:29.31\00:07:30.31
ILLUSTRATION FOR THAT.
THANK YOU, MRS. BATCHELOR.
00:07:30.35\00:07:34.58
SO, THIS IS THE LAW;
THIS IS THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.
00:07:34.62\00:07:38.39
I NEED THIS TO SAY,
'OH, I'VE GOT A PROBLEM.
00:07:38.42\00:07:41.06
I'M CONVICTED.' AND THEN, I DID
THIS ONCE WITH PERMANENT MARKER
00:07:41.09\00:07:44.59
AND IT DIDN'T WORK VERY
WELL. I SAID - THEN I LOOK IN
00:07:44.63\00:07:49.26
THE MIRROR AND I SAY,
'OH, EVERYTHING'S OKAY.
00:07:49.30\00:07:52.97
I FEEL BETTER.' AND SO, I HAVE
NO PROBLEM WITH THIS NOW, WHERE
00:07:53.00\00:07:56.77
I HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT BEFORE.
00:07:56.81\00:07:59.24
SOME PEOPLE HATE THE LAW BECAUSE
IT'S CONVICTING THEM THAT
00:07:59.27\00:08:02.11
THERE'S SOMETHING
THEY'RE DOING WRONG.
00:08:02.14\00:08:04.38
AND THEN THEY SAY, 'I HATE THE
LAW.' THE PROBLEM'S NOT THE LAW.
00:08:04.41\00:08:06.38
THE PROBLEM IS YOU
NEED THE BLOOD OF JESUS -
00:08:06.41\00:08:07.78
>>AMEN. >>TO TAKE AWAY THE SIN.
00:08:07.82\00:08:10.29
YOU'LL HAVE NO
PROBLEM WITH THE LAW THEN.
00:08:10.32\00:08:12.72
THE LAW IS SIMPLY
SUPPOSED TO POINT YOU TO JESUS.
00:08:12.75\00:08:14.92
NOW, IF YOU GET RID OF THE
MIRROR, YOU WILL NOT SEE YOUR
00:08:14.96\00:08:17.86
SIN AND THE DEVIL WILL HAVE YOU
LIVING UNDER THE ILLUSION THAT
00:08:17.89\00:08:21.56
EVERYTHING'S FINE AND YOU'LL BE
DOING WHAT I JUST DID, PREACHING
00:08:21.60\00:08:24.70
WITH A BIG MARK ON YOUR FACE -
AND EVERYONE SEES IT BUT YOU AND
00:08:24.73\00:08:29.57
YOU'RE LIVING IN A DREAM.
ARE THERE PEOPLE, WHEN CHRIST
00:08:29.60\00:08:32.84
COMES, THEY'RE GOING TO SAY,
'LORD, LORD,' - AND HE'S GOING
00:08:32.87\00:08:35.58
TO SAY, 'I DON'T
KNOW YOU.' >>THAT'S RIGHT.
00:08:35.61\00:08:37.75
>>WHY DOES HE SAY,
'I DON'T KNOW YOU'?
00:08:37.78\00:08:39.75
HE SAYS, 'DEPART FROM ME YOU
WORKERS OF INIQUITY.' YOU KNOW
00:08:39.78\00:08:42.88
WHAT THAT WORD 'INIQUITY'
IS? YOU READ IT IN THE
00:08:42.92\00:08:44.39
GREEK - 'LAWLESSNESS'.
A LOT OF PEOPLE, THEY KNOW
00:08:44.42\00:08:48.02
JESUS' NAME AND THEY SAY, 'OH,
I TAUGHT IN YOUR STREETS, I DID
00:08:48.06\00:08:50.13
MANY WONDERFUL WORKS.'
HE'LL SAY, 'I DON'T KNOW YOU.
00:08:50.16\00:08:53.29
DEPART FROM ME,
WORKERS OF INIQUITY.
00:08:53.33\00:08:55.60
WHY DO YOU CALL ME 'LORD, LORD'
AND DO NOT THE THINGS THAT I
00:08:55.63\00:08:57.57
SAY?' WHERE'S THE WILL OF
GOD? IT'S IN THE LAW OF GOD.
00:08:57.60\00:09:03.81
SO WHAT IS THE OLD COVENANT?
BECAUSE, OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE LIVING
00:09:03.84\00:09:07.64
UNDER THE NEW
COVENANT NOW, RIGHT?
00:09:07.68\00:09:10.01
YOU CAN READ IN DEUTERONOMY
4:13, "AND HE DECLARED UNTO YOU
00:09:10.05\00:09:13.28
HIS COVENANT, WHICH HE COMMANDED
YOU TO PERFORM, EVEN TEN
00:09:13.31\00:09:17.45
COMMANDMENTS, AND HE WROTE
THEM UPON TWO TABLES OF STONE."
00:09:17.49\00:09:20.69
SO THE OLD COVENANT IS THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS THAT WERE WRITTEN
00:09:20.72\00:09:24.43
ON STONE. AND YOU
KNOW WHAT A COVENANT IS?
00:09:24.46\00:09:27.30
A COVENANT IS AN
AGREEMENT BETWEEN TWO PEOPLE.
00:09:27.36\00:09:30.73
GOD FIRST SPOKE THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS IN THE HEARING OF
00:09:30.77\00:09:33.03
THE NATION OF ISRAEL AND THE
PEOPLE SAID, 'ALL THAT THE LORD
00:09:33.07\00:09:35.87
HAS SAID WE WILL DO.' YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU MAKE AN AGREEMENT WITH
00:09:35.90\00:09:38.51
SOMEBODY - YOU SAY,
'LOOK, I'LL SELL YOU MY HOUSE.
00:09:38.54\00:09:40.81
I WANT 300,000 DOLLARS.'
AND THEY SAY, 'OH, HOW ABOUT
00:09:40.84\00:09:44.28
280,000?' AND YOU SAY,
'OKAY, WE'LL DO IT FOR 290,000.
00:09:44.31\00:09:47.25
WE'LL SETTLE.' 'ALRIGHT.' YOU
MADE A VERBAL AGREEMENT, LET'S
00:09:47.28\00:09:50.69
WRITE IT DOWN. YOU CODIFY IT.
THEN YOU GET A COPY OF THE SALES
00:09:50.72\00:09:54.66
AGREEMENT - PURCHASE
AGREEMENT - I GET A COPY - ISN'T
00:09:54.69\00:09:57.46
THAT HOW IT
WORKS? THAT'S A COVENANT.
00:09:57.49\00:09:59.49
THAT'S ALL A COVENANT
IS - IT'S AN AGREEMENT.
00:09:59.53\00:10:01.26
GOD SPOKE IT, THEY SAID, 'ALL
THE LORD SAYS WE WILL DO.' GOD
00:10:01.30\00:10:04.20
SAID, 'I'LL GO MAKE THE COPIES.'
MOSES WENT UP THE MOUNTAIN, GOD
00:10:04.23\00:10:08.07
GAVE HIM THE AGREEMENT - THE
COVENANT - HE SAID, 'HERE'S MY
00:10:08.10\00:10:10.64
LAW.' AND YOU READ DEUTERONOMY
28, HE SAYS, 'IF YOU LOVE ME AND
00:10:10.67\00:10:14.98
YOU KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS'
- YOU KNOW, RIGHT IN THE TEN
00:10:15.01\00:10:16.85
COMMANDMENTS IT SAYS, 'LOVE
GOD' - IN THE COMMANDMENT ABOUT
00:10:16.88\00:10:19.98
IDOLATRY IT SAYS, 'SHOWING MERCY
UNTO THOUSANDS OF THEM THAT LOVE
00:10:20.02\00:10:23.12
ME AND KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS.'
SO THE KEY IS LOVING GOD.
00:10:23.15\00:10:27.36
BUT DID THEY KEEP HIS LAW? >>NO.
00:10:27.39\00:10:30.23
>>BEFORE MOSES EVEN CAME DOWN
THE MOUNTAIN THEY MADE A GOLDEN
00:10:30.26\00:10:32.76
CALF - THEY DID IT IN THE
CONTEXT OF WORSHIP - AND THEY
00:10:32.79\00:10:35.90
HAD A WILD PARTY AND BEFORE THE
DAY WAS OVER, IT SAYS, THEY MADE
00:10:35.93\00:10:39.03
THEMSELVES NAKED - IT GOT WAY
OUT OF HAND AND THEY BROKE ALL
00:10:39.07\00:10:42.84
THE LAW - THEY WORSHIPED IDOLS
AND GOD SAID, 'LOOK, YOU DIDN'T
00:10:42.87\00:10:47.21
KEEP OUR COVENANT.' NOW THAT WAS
THE OLD COVENANT WHERE THE LAW
00:10:47.24\00:10:51.98
OF GOD WAS WRITTEN IN
STONE. UPON WHAT IS THE
00:10:52.01\00:10:55.38
NEW COVENANT BASED? IT
TELLS THAT THE NEW COVENANT -
00:10:55.42\00:10:58.82
HE SAYS, "I WILL PUT MY LAW
IN THEIR MIND, AND I'LL WRITE
00:10:58.85\00:11:02.66
THEM IN THEIR
HEARTS." THAT'S HEBREWS 8:10.
00:11:02.69\00:11:05.69
NOW, IF YOU HAVE YOUR BIBLES,
IF YOU TURN IN YOUR BIBLES TO
00:11:05.73\00:11:08.70
JEREMIAH 31:31, WHERE DO
YOU FIRST FIND THE NEW COVENANT?
00:11:08.73\00:11:12.87
NOT IN THE NEW TESTAMENT.
WHEN PAUL QUOTES THERE, IN
00:11:12.90\00:11:15.77
HEBREWS, THE NEW
COVENANT, HE'S QUOTING JEREMIAH.
00:11:15.80\00:11:19.21
YOU LOOK IN JEREMIAH 31:31,
"'BEHOLD, THE DAYS ARE COMING,'
00:11:19.24\00:11:23.11
SAYS THE LORD, 'I WILL MAKE A
NEW COVENANT WITH THE HOUSE OF
00:11:23.14\00:11:25.81
ISRAEL, WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH,
NOT ACCORDING TO THE COVENANT I
00:11:25.85\00:11:28.85
MADE WITH THEIR FATHERS IN THE
DAY I TOOK THEM BY THE HAND TO
00:11:28.88\00:11:31.59
LEAD THEM OUT OF EGYPT, MY
COVENANT THAT THEY BROKE.'" THEY
00:11:31.62\00:11:35.19
BROKE IT WAY BACK BEFORE
JEREMIAH - "THOUGH I WAS A
00:11:35.22\00:11:38.06
HUSBAND TO THEM. BUT
THIS IS THE NEW COVENANT
00:11:38.09\00:11:40.26
THAT I WILL MAKE WITH THE
HOUSE OF ISRAEL, AFTER THOSE
00:11:40.30\00:11:42.10
DAYS,' SAYS THE
LORD." - 'I'LL GIVE THEM
00:11:42.13\00:11:44.17
A DIFFERENT LAW.
I'LL CHANGE THE LAW.
00:11:44.20\00:11:46.20
I'LL DO AWAY WITH THE
LAW.' NO. IT DOESN'T SAY THAT.
00:11:46.23\00:11:48.77
I'M JUST WONDERING
IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING.
00:11:48.80\00:11:50.24
HE SAYS, 'I'LL PUT MY LAW'
- SAME LAW - 'IN A DIFFERENT
00:11:50.27\00:11:53.27
PLACE. I'LL PUT
MY LAW IN THEIR MINDS
00:11:53.31\00:11:56.58
AND I'LL WRITE IT IN THEIR
HEARTS, AND I'LL BE THEIR GOD
00:11:56.61\00:11:59.78
AND THEY'LL BE MY PEOPLE.' SO
THE NEW COVENANT IS NOT A CHANGE
00:11:59.81\00:12:03.72
IN THE LAW, THE NEW COVENANT
IS A CHANGE IN THE PLACE
00:12:03.75\00:12:05.89
THE LAW IS WRITTEN.
GOD WRITES HIS LAW IN
00:12:05.92\00:12:09.06
YOUR HEART THROUGH LOVE. >>AMEN.
00:12:09.09\00:12:11.53
>>DOESN'T LIVING UNDER GOD'S
GRACE MAKE KEEPING GOD'S LAW
00:12:11.56\00:12:16.00
NON-ESSENTIAL?
YOU'VE HEARD THAT?
00:12:16.03\00:12:17.67
'I'M NOT UNDER THE LAW ANYMORE.
I'M NOW UNDER GRACE.' AND THE
00:12:17.70\00:12:21.00
BIBLE TALKS ABOUT
NOT BEING UNDER LAW.
00:12:21.04\00:12:23.20
WHAT DOES PAUL MEAN WHEN HE
SAYS, 'NOT BEING UNDER LAW'?
00:12:23.24\00:12:26.01
HE DOES NOT MEAN YOU'RE NO
LONGER UNDER AN OBLIGATION TO
00:12:26.04\00:12:29.64
KEEP THE LAW - BECAUSE
JUST FOLLOW THAT THROUGH.
00:12:29.68\00:12:31.78
DOES THAT MEAN YOU'RE
NOT OBLIGATED TO BE HONEST?
00:12:31.81\00:12:35.25
YOU'RE NOT
OBLIGATED TO NOT STEAL?
00:12:35.28\00:12:38.22
YOU DON'T WANT TO TURN TO
YOUR SPOUSE AND SAY, 'YOU'RE NOT
00:12:38.25\00:12:40.62
OBLIGATED TO KEEP THE SEVENTH
COMMANDMENT.' DOES ANYONE
00:12:40.66\00:12:44.09
BELIEVE THAT? THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS.
00:12:44.13\00:12:46.80
SO PAUL,
CERTAINLY, DOESN'T MEAN THAT.
00:12:46.83\00:12:48.36
HE MEANS, BECAUSE OF THE
SACRIFICE OF JESUS WE ARE NO
00:12:48.40\00:12:52.00
LONGER UNDER THE PENALTY OF
THE LAW.' - THE WAGES ARE DEATH.
00:12:52.03\00:12:57.57
HE'S NOT SAYING YOU'RE NOT
UNDER AN OBLIGATION TO OBEY IT.
00:12:57.61\00:13:00.68
>>I'M ALWAYS STUNNED WHEN I HEAR
A PASTOR TELL HIS CONGREGATION,
00:13:00.71\00:13:04.05
'BECAUSE WE'RE NOT UNDER THE
LAW, YOU DON'T NEED TO KEEP THE
00:13:04.08\00:13:06.58
TEN COMMANDMENTS.' IN REALITY,
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE A
00:13:06.61\00:13:09.78
PERFECT EXPRESSION OF GOD'S LAWS
OF LOVE AND LIBERTY, AND VERY
00:13:09.82\00:13:13.86
IMPORTANT FOR A CHRISTIAN.
MAYBE YOU'D LIKE TO BETTER

SO, WE HAVE A SPECIAL NEW DVD
00:13:16.22\00:13:20.06

00:13:41.72\00:13:44.62
>>I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONE
DAY - THIS IS A TRUE STORY - AND
00:13:44.65\00:13:48.92
I WAS DEEP IN THOUGHT - GOING
TOO FAST - AND I MUST HAVE BEEN
00:13:48.96\00:13:52.59
REALLY DEEP IN THOUGHT BECAUSE
I ACTUALLY PASSED - SPEEDING -
00:13:52.63\00:13:57.03
A HIGHWAY PATROLMAN
THAT WAS NEXT TO ME.
00:13:57.07\00:14:00.20
(LAUGHTER) AND HE PULLED ME OVER
- HE WAS PRETTY NICE - AND HE
00:14:00.24\00:14:04.27
SAID, 'LOOK, YOU WEREN'T GOING
THAT FAST, BUT I WAS FOLLOWING
00:14:04.31\00:14:06.24
SOMEONE ELSE AND YOU PASSED
ME AND YOU WERE SPEEDING AND I
00:14:06.27\00:14:08.38
THOUGHT, 'WELL, I CAN'T PULL
THEM OVER IF YOU'RE JUST' - I
00:14:08.41\00:14:10.75
SAID, 'OH, OFFICER, I AM SO
SORRY.' - I SAID - 'I JUST WAS
00:14:10.78\00:14:13.11
ON ONE OF THESE ROADS THAT WAS
70 MILES AN HOUR AND THEN I CAME
00:14:13.15\00:14:15.88
ON - I SWITCHED OFF ONTO THIS
HIGHWAY AND I JUST - I REALLY' -
00:14:15.92\00:14:18.62
I SAID - I SAID, 'CAN
YOU PLEASE HAVE MERCY?'
00:14:18.65\00:14:21.29
(LAUGHTER) NOW I'VE BEEN - I'M
NOT PROUD OF MY DRIVING RECORD
00:14:21.32\00:14:29.06
AND I COULD PROBABLY TEACH
TRAFFIC SCHOOL (LAUGHTER) YOU
00:14:29.10\00:14:33.97
KNOW, I KNOW THE LORD'S COMING
SOON SO WE NEED TO MAKE HASTE
00:14:34.00\00:14:37.21
AND SO I'VE GOTTEN MORE THAN
A COUPLE OF SPEEDING TICKETS.
00:14:37.24\00:14:42.01
AND I SAID, 'PLEASE HAVE MERCY.
00:14:42.04\00:14:44.25
YOU KNOW, MY INSURANCE
JUST FINALLY WENT DOWN.
00:14:44.28\00:14:46.31
I'M TRYING TO KEEP IT THAT WAY'
- (LAUGHTER) - 'AND I CAN'T GO
00:14:46.35\00:14:48.88
HOME AND TELL MY WIFE THAT I
JUST GOT ANOTHER TICKET.' AND I
00:14:48.92\00:14:52.29
JUST CONFESSED, I
SAID, 'I'M GUILTY.
00:14:52.32\00:14:54.36
I REPENT. HAVE MERCY.
ALL I CAN ASK FOR IS MERCY.
00:14:54.39\00:14:56.76
I DON'T WANT JUSTICE, I WANT
MERCY.' (LAUGHTER) AND HE SAID,
00:14:56.79\00:15:00.16
'ALRIGHT.' HE SAID, 'I'M GOING
TO WRITE YOU A WARNING.' AND SO
00:15:00.20\00:15:02.63
HE WRITES ME A WARNING. HE
SAID, 'ALRIGHT, SLOW DOWN.'
00:15:02.66\00:15:05.67
AND I SAID, 'PRAISE THE LORD.'
NOW, I DIDN'T WANT TO PULL OVER
00:15:05.70\00:15:08.84
WHEN HE PULLED ME OVER
BECAUSE I WAS IN A HURRY.
00:15:08.87\00:15:10.97
DON'T YOU HATE IT WHEN YOU'RE IN
A HURRY AND THEN THE POLICEMAN
00:15:11.01\00:15:12.71
PULLS YOU OVER AND THEN YOU'RE
REALLY LATE AND YOU HAVE TO SAY,
00:15:12.74\00:15:15.61
'OFFICER, CAN YOU PLEASE HURRY
UP WITH THIS TICKET BECAUSE I'VE
00:15:15.64\00:15:17.41
GOT TO GET GOING?' (LAUGHTER)
00:15:17.45\00:15:18.95
AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO
DRIVE TWICE AS FAST BECAUSE
00:15:18.98\00:15:20.48
YOU PULLED ME OVER.' (LAUGHTER)
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
00:15:20.52\00:15:25.39
AND SO, I HAD TO PULL
OVER BECAUSE I BROKE THE LAW.
00:15:25.42\00:15:30.23
AND SO, WHEN I SEE THOSE BLUE
AND RED LIGHTS - YOU EVER NOTICE
00:15:30.26\00:15:34.36
WHEN YOU SEE A POLICEMAN - HOW
MANY OF YOU AUTOMATICALLY TAKE
00:15:34.40\00:15:36.97
YOUR FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR?
YOU MAY BE STOPPED AT A LIGHT
00:15:37.00\00:15:41.17
AND YOU SEE A POLICEMAN,
YOU - (LAUGHTER) - AND SO
00:15:41.20\00:15:46.84
I HAD TO PULL OVER. AND
FINALLY, WHEN HE GAVE ME
00:15:46.88\00:15:49.34
BACK THE WARNING HE SAID,
'LOOK, I'M GOING TO LET YOU GO.
00:15:49.38\00:15:52.01
I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU A
TICKET.' I'M NO LONGER UNDER THE
00:15:52.05\00:15:55.18
LAW, I'M NOW UNDER
GRACE. HE'S FORGIVEN ME.
00:15:55.22\00:15:59.15
BOY, IT'D BE REALLY GREAT IF HE
SAID, 'LOOK, THERE'S A PENALTY.
00:15:59.19\00:16:01.82
I'M GOING TO PAY YOUR TICKET FOR
YOU.' THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY
00:16:01.86\00:16:03.96
OFTEN, BUT THAT WOULD BE REALLY
A GREAT ILLUSTRATION IF THAT
00:16:03.99\00:16:07.10
HAPPENED. BUT HE
SAID, 'I'M GOING TO LET
00:16:07.13\00:16:09.93
YOU GO.' SO NOW I SAID, 'PRAISE
THE LORD, I'M NO LONGER UNDER
00:16:09.96\00:16:13.03
THE LAW. HE SAID I'M FREE.'
I BELIEVE HIS WORD THAT I'M
00:16:13.07\00:16:15.60
FREE, WHICH MEANS NOW I
GET TO DRIVE 90 MILES AN HOUR.
00:16:15.64\00:16:19.74
SO I REV MY ENGINE AND I PEEL
OUT AWAY FROM THE POLICEMAN,
00:16:19.77\00:16:23.11
SPRAY GRAVEL OVER THE HOOD OF
HIS CAR AND SAY, 'PRAISE GOD I'M
00:16:23.14\00:16:26.55
NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW, I'M
UNDER GRACE NOW.' IS THAT HOW
00:16:26.58\00:16:29.65
YOU DO IT? >>NO!
00:16:29.68\00:16:31.12
>>NO, NO, YOU KNOW WHAT I DID?
00:16:31.15\00:16:33.12
I SAID, 'THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
OFFICER.' I TOOK OUT SOMETHING,
00:16:33.15\00:16:36.06
I CLEANED OFF MY REARVIEW
MIRROR, I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW,
00:16:36.09\00:16:39.49
I PUT MY BLINKER ON, I PUT IT IN
GEAR, I PULLED OUT VERY SLOW - I
00:16:39.53\00:16:45.47
WAITED 'TIL THERE WERE NO CARS
FOR SIX MILES IN ANY DIRECTION -
00:16:45.50\00:16:48.30
(LAUGHTER) - I PULLED OUT VERY
CAREFULLY AND I WENT LIKE 45 ½
00:16:48.34\00:16:51.57
MILES AN HOUR LOOKING BOTH WAYS
BECAUSE, PRAISE THE LORD, I'VE
00:16:51.61\00:16:54.74
JUST BEEN FORGIVEN. I AM NOW
UNDER GRACE. I AM GOING TO BE
00:16:54.78\00:16:57.15
THE MOST CAREFUL
PERSON ON THE ROAD, RIGHT?
00:16:57.18\00:17:00.12
CHRISTIANS, WHEN THEY
REALIZE WHAT THEIR FORGIVENESS
00:17:00.15\00:17:03.89
HAS COST, WHEN CHRISTIANS
REALIZE WHAT THEIR LAWBREAKING
00:17:03.92\00:17:08.82
HAS COST, SHOULD BE THE ONES WHO
ARE THE MOST CAREFUL NOT TO DO
00:17:08.86\00:17:14.03
THE THING THAT
CRUCIFIED JESUS, AMEN?
00:17:14.10\00:17:16.87
>>AMEN. >>AND BE OBEDIENT.
00:17:16.90\00:17:19.27
SO, NO, WE ARE NOT UNDER
THE LAW, WE ARE UNDER GRACE.
00:17:19.30\00:17:23.81
BUT WHAT DOES PAUL
SAY IN ROMANS 6:15?
00:17:23.84\00:17:25.77
"WHAT THEN? SHALL WE SIN BECAUSE
WE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, BUT
00:17:25.81\00:17:29.44
UNDER GRACE? GOD FORBID." HE
SAID, 'DON'T EVEN THINK THAT.'
00:17:29.48\00:17:32.68
AND YET, THAT'S WHAT
SOME CHURCHES ARE TEACHING.
00:17:32.71\00:17:35.82
ROMANS 3:31, "DO WE THEN
MAKE VOID THE LAW THROUGH FAITH?
00:17:35.85\00:17:40.49
GOD FORBID: YEA,
WE ESTABLISH THE LAW."
00:17:40.52\00:17:43.79
WHEN YOU'VE GOT FAITH YOU DON'T
MAKE VOID THE LAW, YOU SEAL IT;
00:17:43.83\00:17:46.46
YOU ENDORSE IT, YOU AFFIRM IT.
00:17:46.49\00:17:48.53
INDEED, JESUS SAID, "AND IT IS
EASIER FOR HEAVEN AND EARTH TO
00:17:48.56\00:17:51.33
PASS, THAN ONE
TITTLE OF THE LAW TO FAIL."
00:17:51.37\00:17:55.70
IS HEAVEN STILL
THERE? IS EARTH STILL THERE?
00:17:55.74\00:17:59.44
THEN GOD'S TEN
COMMANDMENTS ARE STILL THERE.
00:17:59.47\00:18:01.78
AND I ALREADY QUOTED YOU, 'JESUS
CHRIST IS THE SAME YESTERDAY,
00:18:01.81\00:18:04.25
TODAY, AND FOREVER.' SO, ARE
PEOPLE SAVED BY KEEPING THE LAW?
00:18:04.28\00:18:09.02
THIS IS A POINT I
NEED TO MAKE VERY CLEAR.
00:18:09.05\00:18:11.59
IS ANYONE SAVED
BY KEEPING THE LAW?
00:18:11.62\00:18:13.76
I'VE HEARD FOLKS SAY, 'WELL,
IN THE OLD TESTAMENT THEY WERE
00:18:13.79\00:18:15.99
SAVED BY THE LAW.
NOW WE'RE SAVED BY
00:18:16.02\00:18:17.66
GRACE.' THAT IS NONSENSE.
ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD AND
00:18:17.69\00:18:22.53
GOD COUNTED IT UNTO
HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:18:22.56\00:18:24.77
ABRAHAM WAS SAVED BY FAITH.
READ HEBREWS 11, IT TALKS ABOUT
00:18:24.80\00:18:29.00
ALL THE OLD TESTAMENT CHARACTERS
WHO WERE SAVED BY FAITH.
00:18:29.04\00:18:32.94
THEY WERE SAVED BY FAITH
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE MESSIAH.
00:18:32.97\00:18:35.94
WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH LOOKING
BACK TO CHRIST. EVERYBODY IS
00:18:35.98\00:18:39.35
SAVED BY JESUS. NOBODY IS SAVED
BY WORKS. WE'RE ALL SAVED BY
00:18:39.38\00:18:44.52
FAITH. WE DO NOT KEEP THE
LAW TO BE SAVED, WE KEEP THE LAW
00:18:44.55\00:18:48.69
BECAUSE WE ARE SAVED. >>AMEN.
00:18:48.72\00:18:50.86
>>JESUS SAID, 'YOU'LL KNOW THEM
BY THEIR FRUITS.' AND IF WE'VE
00:18:50.89\00:18:54.20
GOT THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT,
WHICH IS LOVE - AND JESUS SAID,
00:18:54.23\00:18:56.43
'IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY
COMMANDMENTS' - EPHESIANS 2:8.
00:18:56.46\00:19:00.27
HE GOES ON TO SAY, "FOR BY GRACE
ARE YE SAVED THROUGH FAITH; AND
00:19:00.30\00:19:04.24
THAT NOT OF YOURSELVES: IT IS
THE GIFT OF GOD: NOT OF WORKS,
00:19:04.27\00:19:08.14
LEST ANY MAN SHOULD
BOAST." I LIKE WHAT D.L.
00:19:08.18\00:19:11.48
MOODY SAID - HE WAS A
GREAT PREACHER - HE SAID, "THE
00:19:11.51\00:19:14.92
COMMANDMENTS OF GOD GIVEN TO
MOSES IN THE MOUNT AT HOREB ARE
00:19:14.95\00:19:18.79
AS BINDING TODAY AS EVER THEY
HAVE BEEN SINCE THE TIME WHEN
00:19:18.82\00:19:22.62
THEY WERE PROCLAIMED IN
THE HEARING OF THE PEOPLE."
00:19:22.66\00:19:25.53
AND SOMEONE ASKED BILLY GRAHAM
A QUESTION - HE USED TO HAVE A
00:19:25.56\00:19:28.13
QUESTION AND ANSWER THING IN THE
DALLAS NEWS WHERE THEY'D MAIL IN
00:19:28.16\00:19:31.07
QUESTIONS - AND THE QUESTION
WAS, 'DOES GOD STILL EXPECT US
00:19:31.10\00:19:34.24
TO KEEP THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?'
HERE'S THE ANSWER FROM
00:19:34.27\00:19:37.71
DR. GRAHAM, "THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS ARE JUST AS VALID
00:19:37.74\00:19:40.68
TODAY AS WHEN GOD GAVE THEM
TO MOSES OVER 3,000 YEARS AGO.
00:19:40.71\00:19:44.61
JESUS SAID, 'I TELL YOU THE
TRUTH, UNTIL HEAVEN AND EARTH
00:19:44.65\00:19:47.05
DISAPPEAR, NOT THE SMALLEST
LETTER, NOT THE LEAST STROKE OF
00:19:47.08\00:19:51.22
THE PEN, WILL BY ANY MEANS
DISAPPEAR FROM THE LAW.'" WHAT
00:19:51.25\00:19:55.22
LAW IS IT THEN THAT
WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS?
00:19:55.26\00:19:57.93
AND THIS IS WHERE
SOME PEOPLE GET CONFUSED.
00:19:57.96\00:20:00.43
YOU CAN READ IN COLOSSIANS 2:14
- NOW YOU NEED TO - YOU MIGHT
00:20:00.46\00:20:03.50
WANT TO TAKE A FEW NOTES - AND
THIS WILL BE IN THE SUPPLEMENTAL
00:20:03.53\00:20:05.83
MATERIAL, IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING
ALONG - WE'VE GOT A LESSON THAT
00:20:05.87\00:20:10.34
TALKS ABOUT WRITTEN IN STONE
AND IT EXPLAINS THE DIFFERENCE
00:20:10.37\00:20:14.58
BETWEEN WHAT LAWS ARE NAILED TO
THE CROSS, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
00:20:14.61\00:20:18.01
AND THE CEREMONIAL LAWS -
COLOSSIANS 2:14, "BLOTTING OUT
00:20:18.05\00:20:21.88
THE" - NOW I
UNDERLINED THAT - WHAT'S IT SAY?
00:20:21.92\00:20:24.19
- "HANDWRITING...THAT WAS
AGAINST US, WHICH WAS CONTRARY
00:20:24.22\00:20:29.92
TO US, AND TOOK IT OUT OF THE
WAY, NAILING IT TO HIS CROSS."
00:20:29.96\00:20:35.33
NOW, IF YOU GO TO EXODUS 32 -
LET'S FIND OUT WHAT WAS NAILED
00:20:35.36\00:20:38.67
TO THE CROSS - EXODUS 32:16,
"NOW THE TABLETS WERE THE WORK
00:20:38.70\00:20:43.07
OF GOD, AND THE WRITING WAS THE
WRITING OF GOD ENGRAVED ON THE
00:20:43.10\00:20:46.41
TABLETS." - GOD WROTE
AN ENGRAVING OF THE TEN
00:20:46.44\00:20:49.31
COMMANDMENTS - IT IS
GOD-WRITTEN, IT IS NOT
00:20:49.34\00:20:50.88
THE HANDWRITING OF MAN.
BUT, WHAT MOSES WROTE, AS
00:20:50.91\00:20:55.52
FAR AS THE CEREMONIAL LAW
AND ORDINANCES YOU CAN READ IN 2
00:20:55.55\00:20:59.05
CHRONICLES 33:8 - I WANT YOU
TO NOTICE THERE - HE SAYS, "THEY
00:20:59.09\00:21:04.46
WILL TAKE HEED TO DO ALL THAT
I HAVE COMMANDED THEM," - SO GOD
00:21:04.49\00:21:07.93
IS SPEAKING - "ALL THAT I HAVE
COMMANDED THEM, ACCORDING TO THE
00:21:07.96\00:21:09.90
WHOLE LAW AND" - SO AFTER HE
SAYS, 'WHOLE LAW' AND THEN HE
00:21:09.93\00:21:13.10
SAYS, 'AND' -
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:21:13.13\00:21:14.24
AND MEANS WHAT? YOU'RE
ADDING SOMETHING TO IT. "AND THE
00:21:14.27\00:21:17.41
STATUTES AND THE ORDINANCES
BY THE HAND OF MOSES."
00:21:17.44\00:21:22.94
ORDINANCES, HANDWRITING -
THE CEREMONIAL LAWS CONTAINED IN
00:21:22.98\00:21:28.22
ORDINANCES - NOW WHERE DID
THEY PUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS?
00:21:28.25\00:21:31.62
WAS IT - IN THE ARK OF
THE COVENANT - WHERE WERE THE
00:21:31.65\00:21:34.56
CEREMONIAL LAWS
PLACED? >>ON THE OUTSIDE.
00:21:34.59\00:21:37.39
>>READ IN DEUTERONOMY 31:26,
"AND TAKE THIS BOOK OF THE LAW,"
00:21:37.43\00:21:42.33
- WRITTEN ON PAPER - "AND PUT
IT IN THE SIDE OF THE ARK OF THE
00:21:42.36\00:21:46.17
COVENANT OF THE LORD YOUR GOD.
00:21:46.20\00:21:48.00
THAT IT MAY BE THERE
FOR A WITNESS AGAINST THEE."
00:21:48.04\00:21:51.77
YOU REMEMBER WHAT
PAUL SAID IN COLOSSIANS?
00:21:51.81\00:21:53.41
HANDWRITING,
ORDINANCES, AGAINST US.
00:21:53.44\00:21:56.48
IT IS SO CLEAR, WHEN YOU
ARE A JEW, LIKE PAUL, AND HE
00:21:56.51\00:22:00.18
UNDERSTOOD THE OLD TESTAMENT
AND HE'S TALKING ABOUT THE
00:22:00.22\00:22:02.65
HANDWRITING OF MOSES THAT WAS
IN THE CEREMONIAL LAWS, PLACED
00:22:02.68\00:22:06.59
OUTSIDE THE ARK,
TO WITNESS AGAINST US.
00:22:06.62\00:22:08.69
NOT TALKING ABOUT
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:22:08.72\00:22:10.76
BIG DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE TWO LAWS.
00:22:10.79\00:22:13.43
EPHESIANS 2:15,
"HAVING ABOLISHED...THE LAW OF
00:22:13.46\00:22:16.60
COMMANDMENTS
CONTAINED IN ORDINANCES."
00:22:16.63\00:22:20.50
SO, ARE THERE SOME LAWS
THAT ARE NAILED TO THE CROSS?
00:22:20.54\00:22:24.64
CAN YOU NAIL STONE TO
ANYTHING? NOT VERY EASILY, HUH?
00:22:24.67\00:22:27.81
IT WAS THE CEREMONIAL LAWS
THAT WERE NAILED TO THE CROSS.
00:22:27.84\00:22:31.21
THIS IS THE LAWS THAT CONTAINED
THE ANNUAL SABBATHS, THE MEAT
00:22:31.25\00:22:35.55
OFFERINGS, THE DRINK OFFERINGS
- SO MANY THINGS THAT REVOLVED
00:22:35.58\00:22:37.79
AROUND THE SANCTUARY AND ITS
SERVICES - THE TEN COMMANDMENT
00:22:37.82\00:22:41.02
LAW IS ETERNAL IN NATURE.
WAS IT A SIN FOR JOSEPH TO
00:22:41.06\00:22:45.69
COMMIT ADULTERY
WITH POTIPHAR'S WIFE?
00:22:45.73\00:22:47.96
>>YES. >>IT WOULD HAVE BEEN.
00:22:47.96\00:22:50.87
YEAH, HE SAID 'HOW CAN I DO
THIS TERRIBLE THING AND SIN?'
00:22:50.90\00:22:53.97
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS HADN'T BEEN
WRITTEN YET - IT WAS STILL A SIN
00:22:54.00\00:22:57.24
BEFORE THAT HAPPENED.
WAS - DID GOD TELL CAIN - HE
00:22:57.27\00:23:01.94
SAID, 'SIN IS AT YOUR
DOOR,' WHEN HE WAS THINKING OF
00:23:01.98\00:23:04.08
MURDERING HIS BROTHER. YOU
MEAN WAY BACK IN THE GARDEN
00:23:04.11\00:23:06.61
OF EDEN, BEFORE MOSES
WROTE 'THOU SHALT NOT MURDER.'
00:23:06.65\00:23:08.65
MURDER WAS A SIN.
TEN COMMANDMENTS GO
00:23:08.68\00:23:11.49
ALL THE WAY BACK.
THEY'RE ETERNAL IN NATURE.
00:23:11.52\00:23:14.72
THE CEREMONIAL LAWS DID NOT
APPEAR UNTIL THE EXODUS AND THEY
00:23:14.76\00:23:17.39
ENDED WITH THE CROSS
- THEY'RE TEMPORARY -
00:23:17.43\00:23:19.93
THEY WERE TO HELP US
RECOGNIZE JESUS, FRIENDS.
00:23:19.96\00:23:22.20
THIS IS REALLY ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT SUBJECTS BECAUSE IT'S
00:23:22.23\00:23:26.00
SO STRANGE THAT WE'RE LIVING IN
TIME WHERE CHRISTIANS ARE FUZZY
00:23:26.03\00:23:29.27
ABOUT SOMETHING AS
BASIC AS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:23:29.30\00:23:31.64
I WOULD THINK WE'D NOTICE
THAT WHEN GOD GATHERS A NATION
00:23:31.67\00:23:34.98
TOGETHER AND HE SPEAKS TO THEM
AUDIBLY IN HIS OWN VOICE, ON A
00:23:35.01\00:23:40.28
MOUNTAIN, THUNDER AND SMOKE,
THEN HE TAKES STONE - NOT PAPER
00:23:40.32\00:23:44.12
- AND HE WRITES IT WITH HIS OWN
FINGER, AND HE SAYS, 'PUT IT IN
00:23:44.15\00:23:48.09
THE MOST SACRED LOCATION IN YOUR
NATION' - THE GOLDEN BOX IN THE
00:23:48.12\00:23:52.33
MIDDLE OF THE HOLY OF HOLIES
- THE INNER SANCTUM OF THE
00:23:52.36\00:23:54.60
SANCTUARY - HE
SAYS, 'THIS IS MY WORD.
00:23:54.63\00:23:56.97
I SPOKE TO YOU MY WILL.' AND
FOR CHRISTIANS TO SAY THEY LOVE
00:23:57.00\00:24:01.24
JESUS, WHO HAVE THE AUDACITY
TO SAY, 'HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT
00:24:01.27\00:24:05.61
THAT.' OR 'THAT'S NO LONGER
IMPORTANT.' WHERE IN THE WORLD
00:24:05.64\00:24:10.45
DO WE GET THAT IDEA?
I'LL BE TELLING YOU WHERE
00:24:10.48\00:24:13.52
THAT IDEA COMES FROM,
LATER. BUT FRIENDS, THE BOTTOM
00:24:13.55\00:24:15.58
LINE IS 'DO YOU LOVE ME?' IF
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH JESUS LOVES
00:24:15.62\00:24:20.82
YOU - BECAUSE HE
DIED TO SAVE YOU.
00:24:20.86\00:24:22.92
I REMEMBER HEARING A STORY ABOUT
A MAN, HE WAS DRIVING TOO FAST
00:24:22.96\00:24:27.36
THROUGH THIS SUBURBAN
NEIGHBORHOOD AND HE SAW THE RED
00:24:27.40\00:24:30.23
AND BLUE LIGHTS AND HE PULLED
OVER AND THE POLICEMAN CAME UP
00:24:30.27\00:24:35.40
AND HE SAID, 'LOOK OFFICER,
I WASN'T GOING THAT FAST.
00:24:35.44\00:24:38.67
I KNOW I DIDN'T STOP COMPLETELY
AT THE STOP SIGN; I KIND OF
00:24:38.71\00:24:41.21
ROLLED THROUGH IT, BUT I LOOKED
AROUND BEFORE I DID AND - AND
00:24:41.24\00:24:44.18
CAN YOU GIVE ME A BREAK?
AND AFTER ALL, I'M ALMOST SURE
00:24:44.21\00:24:46.45
YOU GO TO THE SAME
CHURCH I GO TO.' AND THE OFFICER
00:24:46.48\00:24:50.49
DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING.
HE WALKED BEHIND THE GUY'S
00:24:50.52\00:24:53.32
CAR AND HE STARTED WRITING.
HE GOT REALLY MAD - THE DRIVER
00:24:53.36\00:24:55.66
- HE SAID, 'MAN, HE COULD HAVE
GIVEN ME A BREAK, YOU KNOW?'
00:24:55.69\00:24:57.79
AND JUST STARTED SLAMMING ON HIS
STEERING WHEEL AND THOUGHT, 'OH,
00:24:57.83\00:25:00.43
MY INSURANCE IS GOING TO GO UP.'
AND HE WAS ALL UPSET AND HE WAS
00:25:00.46\00:25:02.43
FUMING AND FINALLY THE POLICEMAN
CAME OVER, HE TAPPED ON HIS
00:25:02.46\00:25:06.20
WINDOW AND HE JUST
ROLLED THE WINDOW DOWN THAT FAR.
00:25:06.23\00:25:09.64
THE POLICEMAN POPPED THE PIECE
OF PAPER THROUGH THE CRACK IN
00:25:09.67\00:25:12.94
THE WINDOW - THE GUY WAS
BEING VERY RUDE NOW - AND THE
00:25:12.97\00:25:15.94
POLICEMAN GOT IN
HIS CAR AND DROVE OFF.
00:25:15.98\00:25:17.98
THE GUY PICKED UP THE PAPER - IT
WASN'T A TICKET, IT WAS A NOTE.
00:25:18.01\00:25:23.18
AND THE POLICEMAN SAID, 'I KNOW
YOU, BOB.' - AND HE SAID, 'I'M
00:25:23.22\00:25:27.99
GOING TO LET YOU GO TODAY.' -
HE SAID, 'I JUST WANT TO LET YOU
00:25:28.02\00:25:31.69
KNOW THAT A SPEEDING DRIVER
KILLED MY DAUGHTER FOUR YEARS
00:25:31.73\00:25:36.53
AGO AND I'M REALLY STRUGGLING TO
FORGIVE, AND I'M HOPING THAT ONE
00:25:36.56\00:25:42.47
MORE ACT OF FORGIVENESS
IS GOING TO HELP ME TODAY.
00:25:42.50\00:25:46.54
PLEASE SLOW DOWN.' SO HERE'S
A QUESTION: WHEN THAT GUY PULLED
00:25:46.57\00:25:51.68
AWAY, DO YOU THINK
HE DROVE DIFFERENT?
00:25:51.71\00:25:56.89
HE WAS FORGIVEN. EVEN
THOUGH THAT OFFICER HAD
00:25:56.92\00:26:00.96
LOST A CHILD TO
A SPEEDER. >>WOW.
00:26:00.99\00:26:04.19
>>WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE CROSS,
JESUS IS HANGING THERE, NOT JUST
00:26:04.23\00:26:07.46
FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD,
HE'S HANGING THERE FOR YOUR SIN.
00:26:07.50\00:26:10.07
>>THAT'S RIGHT.
>>HE'S HANGING THERE
00:26:10.10\00:26:11.17
FOR YOUR LAWLESSNESS.
AND HE SAYS, 'IF YOU LOVE ME,
00:26:11.20\00:26:15.94
PLEASE DON'T KEEP DOING THE
THINGS THAT HURT YOU AND THEY
00:26:15.97\00:26:18.54
HURT ME AND THEY HURT OTHERS.'
YOUR DISOBEDIENCE NOT ONLY HURTS
00:26:18.57\00:26:22.34
GOD, IT NOT ONLY HURTS
YOU, IT HURTS YOUR NEIGHBOR.
00:26:22.38\00:26:26.21
AND BECAUSE YOU LOVE GOD, AND
BECAUSE YOU LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR,
00:26:26.25\00:26:28.58
AND BECAUSE YOU LOVE YOURSELF,
YOU WANT TO BE OBEYING GOD'S
00:26:28.62\00:26:32.62
LAW. YOU WILL BE
BLESSED. YOU WILL HAVE PEACE.
00:26:32.65\00:26:35.26
WOULD YOU LIKE TO
HAVE THAT PEACE, FRIENDS?
00:26:35.29\00:26:36.76
>>AMEN. >>WOULD
YOU LIKE TO ASK HIM
00:26:36.79\00:26:38.99
TONIGHT? HOW MUCH
CAN WE DO WITHOUT GOD'S
00:26:39.03\00:26:41.10
HELP? >>NOTHING.
00:26:41.13\00:26:42.63
>>NOTHING. ARE WE
SAVED BY OBEYING THE LAW
00:26:42.66\00:26:44.60
OR ARE WE SAVED
BY GRACE? >>GRACE.
00:26:44.63\00:26:46.74
>>BUT IF WE'RE SAVED BY GRACE
AND IF WE LOVE JESUS, WILL WE
00:26:46.77\00:26:49.24
WANT TO OBEY HIS LAW? >>YES.
00:26:49.27\00:26:52.27
>>AMAZING FACTS
HAS IMPACTED MY LIFE.
00:26:52.31\00:26:54.34
>>AND I JUST PRAISE
GOD FOR AMAZING FACTS.
00:26:54.38\00:26:56.31
>>AMAZING FACTS ACTUALLY
DID HAVE AN IMPACT ON MY LIFE.
00:26:56.34\00:26:58.88
>>THIS WHOLE PROCESS - GETTING
WHERE I AM TODAY - I FELT GOOD
00:26:58.91\00:27:02.25
ABOUT THAT. I
DIDN'T FEEL CONDEMNED.
00:27:02.28\00:27:03.95
>>I BEGAN
READING THE BIBLE AND -
00:27:03.99\00:27:06.49
>>I GOT BAPTIZED INTO
A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST -
00:27:06.52\00:27:08.62
>>I REALIZED THAT
THERE HAD TO BE MORE TO LIFE.
00:27:08.66\00:27:11.13
>>GOD IS REALLY DOING THIS.
>>THE LIFE THAT HE'S GIVEN ME.
00:27:11.16\00:27:13.43
>>THIS MESSAGE WAS SO
POWERFUL. >>I'LL FOLLOW CHRIST
00:27:13.46\00:27:15.06
WHEREVER HE GOES.
>>AMAZING FACTS. MORE THAN 45
00:27:15.10\00:27:20.00
YEARS OF PROCLAIMING
GOD'S MESSAGE AROUND THE WORLD.
00:27:20.04\00:27:24.01
>>AND THEN THE LOGO POPS
ACROSS AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS.
00:27:24.04\00:27:28.08
I'VE LISTENED TO A LOT OF
DIFFERENT MINISTERS, BUT THIS
00:27:28.11\00:27:30.48
WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT HE'S
ACTUALLY SAYING SOMETHING WHERE
00:27:30.51\00:27:33.38
I HAD TO GRAB MY BIBLE AND
ACTUALLY PICK IT UP AND I'VE
00:27:33.42\00:27:37.25
NEVER HEARD THIS
BEFORE. LET ME - LET ME LOOK
00:27:37.29\00:27:39.35
THROUGH AND FIND THIS.
THEN I JUST COULDN'T GET ENOUGH.
00:27:39.39\00:27:41.39
>>AND SO I STARTED DOING BIBLE
STUDIES. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF
00:27:41.42\00:27:44.96
THESE GUYS STARTED BEING
CHANGED, INCLUDING MYSELF.
00:27:44.99\00:27:48.70
>>MY QUESTION WAS, 'WHY
DID THAT HAPPEN TO ME, GOD?'
00:27:48.73\00:27:52.10
THE LORD WAS ABLE TO REACH OUT
AND - AND I ACTUALLY SAW HIM AS
00:27:52.13\00:27:55.27
A FATHER. >>I LOST
EVERYTHING AND THAT WAS
00:27:55.30\00:27:58.61
WHEN I REALIZED THAT IT
WAS GOD MISSING IN MY LIFE.
00:27:58.64\00:28:02.04
>>I WENT TO A PROPHECY
SEMINAR, WHICH KNOCKED ME OUT.
00:28:02.08\00:28:05.81
THIS MESSAGE WAS SO POWERFUL
AND SO IRREFUTABLE, I JUST WENT,
00:28:05.85\00:28:10.02
'THIS IS REAL. THIS
IS - THIS IS AMAZING.'
00:28:10.05\00:28:15.49
