>>ANNOUNCER: IT HAS
STOOD THE TEST OF TIME . . .
00:00:29.36\00:00:31.66
GOD'S BOOK, THE BIBLE.
00:00:32.03\00:00:34.76
STILL RELEVANT IN
TODAY'S COMPLEX WORLD.
00:00:35.13\00:00:39.30
IT IS WRITTEN . . .
00:00:39.96\00:00:41.86
SHARING MESSAGES OF
HOPE AROUND THE WORLD.
00:00:42.13\00:00:46.43
(MUSIC)
00:00:47.26\00:00:58.63
>>BILL: WELL, DR.
KNIGHT, WELCOME BACK FOR OUR
00:00:59.36\00:01:00.40
FOURTH AND FINAL PROGRAM
IN THIS SERIES IN THE BOOK
00:01:00.40\00:01:03.26
OF ROMANS. YOU HAVE
WALKED US THROUGH AND I'LL TELL
00:01:03.26\00:01:05.10
YOU, THIS HAS BEEN SUCH
AN ENLIGHTENING EXPERIENCE
00:01:05.10\00:01:06.16
FOR ME AND, I KNOW, FOR
MANY OF OUR VIEWERS ALSO.
00:01:06.16\00:01:12.56
>>DR. KNIGHT: GOOD. GLAD
I WAS HELPFUL, BILL. >>BILL:
00:01:12.56\00:01:15.63
DEEPEN OUR UNDERSTANDING
OF THE BOOK OF ROMANS AND
00:01:15.63\00:01:16.63
WHAT IS ACTUALLY HERE.
00:01:16.63\00:01:18.13
MAYBE, JUST AS A QUICK
RECAP, YOU HAD OUTLINED
00:01:18.13\00:01:19.13
IN THE FIRST EPISODE
THE THREE PURPOSES FOR WHICH
00:01:19.13\00:01:25.36
THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN
AND MAYBE WE COULD START WITH
00:01:25.36\00:01:31.10
THAT FOR THE BENEFIT
OF SOMEBODY WHO MAY BE
00:01:31.10\00:01:32.03
JOINING US FOR THE FIRST
TIME. AND THEN LET'S JUST
00:01:32.03\00:01:36.76
CARRY ON FROM WHERE WE
LEFT OFF THE LAST TIME.
00:01:36.76\00:01:38.53
>>DR. KNIGHT: WELL, OKAY.
00:01:38.53\00:01:39.06
THE FIRST PURPOSE IS
THAT PAUL HAS A NEED FOR A
00:01:39.06\00:01:40.70
MISSION BASE IN
THE WESTERN PART OF THE
00:01:40.70\00:01:41.60
MEDITERRAIN. HE SAYS
HE'S GOING TO GO TO SPAIN; HE
00:01:41.60\00:01:45.53
NEEDS ROME AS A
MISSION BASE. THAT'S THE FIRST
00:01:45.53\00:01:48.96
PURPOSE. BUT, IF
HE'S GOING TO USE THEM AS
00:01:48.96\00:01:50.03
A MISSION BASE,
THEY'D BETTER GET ALONG. THEY
00:01:50.03\00:01:52.33
BETTER REALIZE THEY
HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, ALL OF
00:01:52.33\00:01:55.40
THEM HAVE THE SAME
SALVATION AND THEREFORE
00:01:55.40\00:01:56.33
THEY'RE ONE CHURCH,
BOTH JEW AND GENTILE. THERE'S
00:01:56.33\00:02:01.43
HOPE FOR ALL IN
CHRIST AND THEN THIRDLY, PAUL
00:02:01.43\00:02:05.90
BEFORE HE WENT TO
ROME KNEW HE HAD TO GO TO
00:02:05.90\00:02:06.83
JERUSALEM AND HE
WASN'T WINNING A POPULARITY
00:02:06.83\00:02:10.63
CONTEST WITH SOME OF THE
PHAROSIC AND ? PARTY THERE
00:02:10.63\00:02:15.83
AND HE KNEW HE MIGHT
NOT MAKE IT OUT. WELL, HE
00:02:15.83\00:02:16.80
REALLY DIDN'T MAKE IT OUT.
00:02:16.80\00:02:20.63
HE MADE IT OUT IN CHAINS.
00:02:20.63\00:02:21.16
SO HIS WHOLE MISSIONARY
CAREER WAS CHANGED BY THAT
00:02:21.16\00:02:24.30
TRIP AND PAUL WANTED TO
DO TWO THINGS IN TERMS OF
00:02:24.30\00:02:25.33
A THEOLOGICAL STATEMENT.
00:02:25.33\00:02:29.96
ONE, HE WANTED A
THEOLOGICAL STATEMENT
00:02:29.96\00:02:30.83
FOR CHRISTIANS
EVERYWHERE ABOUT THE PLAN OF
00:02:30.83\00:02:35.33
SALVATION. AND NUMBER
TWO; HE WANTED TO PROVE TO THE
00:02:35.33\00:02:38.53
ROMAN JEWS AND
GENTILES THAT HE WAS TRULY
00:02:38.53\00:02:39.43
ORTHODOX. AND AS YOU
RECALL, BILL, WE STARTED
00:02:39.43\00:02:44.43
OUT OR PAUL STARTED OUT
WITH THE PROBLEM. >>BILL:
00:02:44.43\00:02:47.40
YES. >>DR. KNIGHT: ALL
ARE SINNERS. >>BILL: YES.
00:02:47.40\00:02:48.40
>>DR. KNIGHT: ALL DESERVE
DEATH BUT GOD HAS A GOSPEL
00:02:48.40\00:02:51.36
WITH POWER, DYNOMITE TO
CHANGE YOUR LIVES. YOU ARE
00:02:51.36\00:03:01.00
JUSTIFIED BY FAITH.
00:03:01.00\00:03:01.46
YOU DON'T HAVE TO EARN IT.
00:03:01.46\00:03:02.00
YOU CAN'T EARN IT.
>>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT: THE
00:03:02.00\00:03:07.10
LAW IS GOOD AND HOLY AND
JUST AND SPIRITUAL BUT its
00:03:07.10\00:03:11.00
FUNCTION IS NOT SALVATION,
LIKE A LADDER, CLIMBING UP
00:03:11.00\00:03:12.10
TO HEAVEN. THE FUNCTION
OF THE LAW IS TO SAY, YOU
00:03:12.10\00:03:16.33
ARE A SINNER. AND WE
TOOK A LOOK AND WE REALIZE AS
00:03:16.33\00:03:22.80
PAUL MOVES INTO ROMANS
SIX THROUGH EIGHT, WHICH IS
00:03:22.80\00:03:23.86
WHAT WE DID LAST WEEK, IS
THAT SALVATION IS NOT JUST
00:03:23.86\00:03:28.16
GETTING JUSTIFIED, IT'S
ALSO WALKING WITH JESUS.
00:03:28.16\00:03:34.20
WHAT WE CALL
SANCTIFICATION. AND THAT
00:03:34.20\00:03:35.00
TOOK US TO THE END OF
CHAPTER EIGHT AND THEN AT
00:03:35.00\00:03:38.63
THE END OF CHAPTER
EIGHT WE REALIZE AS PAUL MAKES
00:03:38.63\00:03:42.40
THIS GREAT, THUNDERING
CONCLUSION THAT NOTHING
00:03:42.40\00:03:43.40
CAN SEPARATE US FROM GOD.
00:03:43.40\00:03:49.76
BUT I DID SUGGEST THAT
THERE'S ONE THING THAT CAN
00:03:49.76\00:03:50.80
AND THAT'S US. WE CAN
GIVE UP, WE CAN QUIT, WE CAN
00:03:50.80\00:03:59.76
SPIT IN GOD'S FACE, WE
CAN SIN, WE CAN LIVE A LIFE OF
00:03:59.76\00:04:03.90
REBELLION. THAT CAN
SEPARATE US FROM GOD
00:04:03.90\00:04:04.76
>>BILL: OUR CHOICE. >>DR.
00:04:04.76\00:04:10.26
KNIGHT: OUR CHOICE.
JUST LIKE WE CHOOSE TO WALK
00:04:10.26\00:04:11.36
WITH CHRIST, WE CAN
CHOOSE NOT TO WALK WITH CHRIST.
00:04:11.36\00:04:14.50
JUST AS I CAN SAY,
"FORGIVE ME FOR MY SINS",
00:04:14.50\00:04:18.30
I CAN SAY, "NUTS, I'LL
DO WHAT I WANT". >>BILL:
00:04:18.30\00:04:19.26
RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT:
THAT'S A CHOICE. A FAITH
00:04:19.26\00:04:25.70
CHOICE OR AN ANTI. >>BILL:
ABSOLUTELY. >>DR. KNIGHT:
00:04:25.70\00:04:28.80
NOW WE COME TO PROBABLY.WE
STILL HAVE HALF THE BOOK
00:04:28.80\00:04:29.83
LEFT AND WE'VE GOT.>>BILL:
ONE PROGRAM LEFT. >>DR.
00:04:29.83\00:04:34.36
KNIGHT:.ONE DAY. I'M
REALLY GONNA GO THROUGH
00:04:34.36\00:04:40.06
CHAPTERS NINE, TEN,
AND ELEVEN RATHER QUICKLY
00:04:40.06\00:04:41.06
>>BILL: OKAY. >>DR.
00:04:41.06\00:04:44.16
KNIGHT: NINE, TEN,
AND ELEVEN ARE: HOW DO THE
00:04:44.16\00:04:45.26
JEWS AND GENTILES FIT
INTO THE PLAN OF SALVATION? AND
00:04:45.26\00:04:48.00
THE ARGUMENT IN A
NUTSHELL IS THIS. DON'T COMPLAIN
00:04:48.00\00:04:55.36
BECAUSE GOD CHOSE
THE GENTILES TO BE IN THE
00:04:55.36\00:04:56.40
CHURCH. I MEAN,
AFTERALL, DIDN'T HE CHOOSE YOU
00:04:56.40\00:05:01.23
FIRST. >>BILL: RIGHT.
00:05:01.23\00:05:01.70
>>DR. KNIGHT: AND IF HE
CHOSE YOU, DOESN'T HE HAVE
00:05:01.70\00:05:07.03
A RIGHT.>>BILL: TO
CHOOSE SOMEBODY ELSE. >>DR.
00:05:07.03\00:05:10.60
KNIGHT:.CHOOSE
SOMEBODY ELSE IN ADDITION TO
00:05:10.60\00:05:11.56
YOU >>BILL: SURE. >>DR.
00:05:11.56\00:05:14.56
KNIGHT: AND YOU'RE
NOT BETTER. YES, YOU WERE
00:05:14.56\00:05:15.63
FIRST. GOD GAVE THE
GOSPEL THROUGH YOU BUT HIS GREAT
00:05:15.63\00:05:19.23
CONCLUSION, HIS GREAT
CONCLUSION OVER HERE IN
00:05:19.23\00:05:22.76
VERSE 32 AND THAT IS,
"ALL MEN HAVE BEEN DISOBEDIENT,
00:05:22.76\00:05:23.86
WHY? THAT HE MAY
HAVE MERCY UPON ALL". THE
00:05:23.86\00:05:28.46
FUNCTION OF THESE THREE
CHAPTERS IS TO DEMONSTRATE
00:05:28.46\00:05:36.86
TO BOTH SIDES OF THE
CHURCH WHO WERE HAVING
00:05:36.86\00:05:37.96
PROBLEMS ON THE RACIAL
ISSUE, IS THAT YOU'RE ALL
00:05:37.96\00:05:44.63
SAVED EXACTLY THE SAME
WAY. AND THAT YOU'VE ALL
00:05:44.63\00:05:49.96
BEEN CHOSEN BY AN ACT
OF GOD'S GRACE. AND, OF
00:05:49.96\00:05:50.96
COURSE, THAT
CHOSENNESS COMES WITH A VERY
00:05:50.96\00:05:57.53
LOADED THEOLOGICAL
WORD 'PREDESTINATED'. BUT
00:05:57.53\00:06:01.40
PREDESTINATION JUST
MEANS GOD CHOSE EVERY ONE OF
00:06:01.40\00:06:02.50
US FOR SALVATION. JEW
AND GENTILE BUT, YOU'VE GOT
00:06:02.50\00:06:08.83
TO RESPOND. AND THAT'S
JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH.
00:06:08.83\00:06:17.80
THAT'S HOW COME RIGHT
IN THE THEME CHAPTER, THEME
00:06:17.80\00:06:18.76
VERSES OF CHAPTER
ONE, "FOR THE GOSPEL
00:06:18.76\00:06:22.63
IS THE POWER OF GOD INTO
SALVATION TO THE JEW FIRST
00:06:22.63\00:06:27.90
AND ALSO TO THE GREEK BY
FAITH". WE HAVE TO CHOOSE.
00:06:27.90\00:06:29.10
ALL OF US. NOW, LET'S
GET DOWN TO CHAPTER TWELVE,
00:06:29.10\00:06:36.06
VERSE ONE. I'LL TELL
YOU, WE'RE GETTING INTO SOME
00:06:36.06\00:06:43.70
REALLY GOOD STUFF HERE.
00:06:43.70\00:06:44.23
OKAY, "I APPEAL TO YOU
THEREFORE, BRETHEREN". I'D
00:06:44.23\00:06:50.66
SAY SISTERS HERE ALSO;
IN TODAY'S CULTURE DO YOU
00:06:50.66\00:06:51.66
THINK WE COULD INCLUDE
THE LADIES? >>BILL: I WOULD
00:06:51.66\00:06:55.13
THINK SO. >>DR. KNIGHT:
THINK THEY WERE ACTUALLY
00:06:55.13\00:06:56.80
INCLUDED HERE UNDER
BRETHEREN. "I APPEAL TO
00:06:56.80\00:06:57.76
YOU THEREFORE BRETHEREN,
BY THE MERCIES OF GOD TO
00:06:57.76\00:07:01.10
PRESENT YOUR BODIES AS A
LIVING SACRIFICE, HOLY AND
00:07:01.10\00:07:06.70
ACCEPTABLE TO GOD, WHICH
IS YOUR SPIRITUAL WORSHIP
00:07:06.70\00:07:07.70
I THINK THIS WORD
'LIVING SACRIFICE' IS SOMETHING
00:07:07.70\00:07:14.16
WE MIGHT WANT TO LOOK AT
I'VE OFTEN THOUGHT, BILL,
00:07:14.16\00:07:19.10
THAT I COULD DIE FOR
CHRIST. IT MIGHT BE HARD.
00:07:19.10\00:07:20.06
I MEAN, ONE GUY SAYS, I
DON'T MIND DYING; I JUST
00:07:20.06\00:07:27.10
DON'T WANT TO BE AROUND
WHEN IT HAPPENS. DYING IS
00:07:27.10\00:07:30.53
NOT NECESSARILY PLEASANT
BUT YOU ONLY HAVE TO DIE
00:07:30.53\00:07:31.50
ONCE. >>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:07:31.50\00:07:34.70
KNIGHT: GO HAS ASKED US
TO BE A LIVING SACRIFICE.
00:07:34.70\00:07:35.73
I MEAN, THAT'S MUCH MORE
SERIOUS. A SACRIFICE DIES
00:07:35.73\00:07:39.86
ONCE. >>BILL: YES. >>DR.
00:07:39.86\00:07:40.33
KNIGHT: A LIVING
SACRIFICE IS LIVING.>>BILL:
00:07:40.33\00:07:45.33
EVERYDAY. >>DR.
KNIGHT:.A LIFE WITH CHRIST
00:07:45.33\00:07:49.33
THROUGHOUT. WE FOUND
THE METAPHOR LAST WEEK,
00:07:49.33\00:07:50.30
'WALKING'. ONCE
YOU'RE BAPTIZED AND
00:07:50.30\00:07:51.90
RAISED.>>BILL: TO NEWNESS
OF LIFE. >>DR. KNIGHT:.TO
00:07:51.90\00:07:55.06
NEWNESS OF LIFE. YOU
WALK THE WAY OF JESUS. HERE WE
00:07:55.06\00:07:56.10
HAVE THE SAME THING,
THAT A CHRISTIANS LIFE IS TO
00:07:56.10\00:08:00.93
BE LIVING SACRIFICE. NOT
A DEAD ONE. IT'S A DYNAMIC
00:08:00.93\00:08:07.26
CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE.
00:08:07.26\00:08:07.76
>>BILL: AGAIN, TOUCHING
ON THAT FACT THAT THERE'S AN
00:08:07.76\00:08:11.63
EXTERNAL DEMONSTRATION
OF WHAT'S HAPPENED ON THE
00:08:11.63\00:08:12.63
INSIDE. >>DR. KNIGHT:
OH, YEAH. YEAH, I MEAN, IN
00:08:12.63\00:08:16.06
EFFECT, GOD NEEDS THAT
FOR THE JUDGMENT AGAINST HIM.
00:08:16.06\00:08:22.06
IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT
THE APOCYLPSE, WHAT WE CALL
00:08:22.06\00:08:23.10
THE BOOK OF
REVELATION; ALL THE SONGS IN THE
00:08:23.10\00:08:26.13
APOCYLPSE ARE HOLY AND
JUST AND TRUE ARE GOD IN
00:08:26.13\00:08:30.00
HIS WAYS. HE HAS A
RIGHT TO DO WHAT HE DOES TO
00:08:30.00\00:08:30.96
BRING EARTH'S HISTORY
TO COMPLETION, WHICH MEANS,
00:08:30.96\00:08:34.53
DESTROYING THE WICKED.
00:08:34.53\00:08:35.00
HOW CAN GOD BE JUST IF
EVERYBODY'S A SINNER? DOES
00:08:35.00\00:08:37.56
IT MAKE ANY SENSE THAT HE
SAVES SOME AND NOT OTHERS?
00:08:37.56\00:08:47.73
>>BILL: NOT OTHERS. RIGHT.
00:08:47.73\00:08:48.30
>>DR. KNIGHT: WELL, THE
EVIDENCE IS IN A CHANGED
00:08:48.30\00:08:50.66
LIFE. GOD ALSO GOES
UNDER JUDGMENT. >>BILL: RIGHT.
00:08:50.66\00:08:51.80
>>DR. KNIGHT: HAS YOUR
HEART REALLY BEEN CHANGED?
00:08:51.80\00:08:56.26
OR ARE YOU GONNA GET
UP THERE AND START RIPPING
00:08:56.26\00:09:01.00
THE GOD OFF THE STREETS
UP THERE, YOU KNOW, CHIPPING
00:09:01.00\00:09:02.06
AWAY AT THE PEARLY GATES.
00:09:02.06\00:09:05.06
>>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:09:05.06\00:09:05.53
KNIGHT: I DON'T THINK
THAT GOD WANTS TO REINVENT THE
00:09:05.53\00:09:08.83
PROBLEM OF SIN.
>>BILL: NO. >>DR. KNIGHT: BUT,
00:09:08.83\00:09:09.93
NOW, WATCH VERSE TWO
OF CHAPTER TWELVE, "DO NOT
00:09:09.93\00:09:12.83
BE CONFORMED TO THIS
WORLD" HE'S TALKING TO
00:09:12.83\00:09:18.86
CHRISTIANS. YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO
00:09:18.86\00:09:19.83
BE ACTING LIKE EVERYBODY
ELSE. "BUT BE TRANSFORMED
00:09:19.83\00:09:25.90
BY THE RENEWAL OF YOUR
MIND THAT YOU MIGHT PROVE
00:09:25.90\00:09:31.63
WHAT IS THE WILL OF
GOD, WHAT IS GOOD AND
00:09:31.63\00:09:32.46
ACCEPTABLE AND PERFECT."
00:09:32.46\00:09:36.10
NOW, PERFECT REALLY
MEANS MATURE. >>BILL: OKAY.
00:09:36.10\00:09:37.10
>>DR. KNIGHT: IT
DEALS WITH THE CHARACTER
00:09:37.10\00:09:41.10
OF GOD. NOW, THE WORD I
WANT TO POINT OUT HERE IS
00:09:41.10\00:09:44.50
'TRANSFORMED'. >>BILL:
OKAY. >>DR. KNIGHT: THAT'S
00:09:44.50\00:09:45.63
A VERY
INTERESTING GREEK WORD THAT
00:09:45.63\00:09:49.73
WE USE IN ENGLISH. IT'S
METAMORPHASIS. >>BILL: OH,
00:09:49.73\00:09:53.73
OKAY. >>DR. KNIGHT:
DID YOU TAKE A CLASS IN
00:09:53.73\00:09:54.86
BIOLOGY, BILL?
>>BILL: I DID, SIR. >>DR.
00:09:54.86\00:09:56.30
KNIGHT: YOU REMEMBER WHAT
BIOLOGY, YOU REMEMBER WHAT
00:09:56.30\00:09:58.36
METAMORPHASIS WAS?
>>BILL: IT WAS TO CHANGE, WASN'T
00:09:58.36\00:09:59.40
IT? >>DR. KNIGHT:
YES. TO CHANGE. YOU KNOW,
00:09:59.40\00:10:00.76
YOU'VE GOT THESE
LITTLE CATAPILLARS THAT'S, YOU
00:10:00.76\00:10:02.70
KNOW, THEY'RE WORMS
WITH LEGS. THEY CRAWL ON THE
00:10:02.70\00:10:03.70
GROUND. AND MOST, I
MEAN, IF MY WIFE HAD ONE OF
00:10:03.70\00:10:09.26
THESE CATAPILLARS CRAWL
INTO HER LUNCH BASKET SHE
00:10:09.26\00:10:15.93
WOULD NOT BE EXCITED.
00:10:15.93\00:10:16.43
SHE'D PROBABLY SAY
SOMETHING LIKE, 'GET THIS
00:10:16.43\00:10:18.66
THING OUT OF HERE'.
00:10:18.66\00:10:19.13
>>BILL: YES. >>DR.
00:10:19.13\00:10:19.53
KNIGHT: SO, NOBODY
LIKES CATAPILLARS AS MUCH AS
00:10:19.53\00:10:23.00
BUTTERFLIES. I MEAN,
A WORM THAT CAN FLY...
00:10:23.00\00:10:27.13
>>BILL: YES. >>DR.
00:10:27.13\00:10:27.70
KNIGHT:.AND HAVE
BEAUTIFUL COLOURS ON IT. THAT'S
00:10:27.70\00:10:29.76
METAMORPHASIS. WE USE
IT EVERYDAY. GOD WANTS TO
00:10:29.76\00:10:30.76
TAKE PEOPLE AND WHEN
THEY MET JESUS, HE WANTS TO
00:10:30.76\00:10:38.26
TRANSFORM THEIR LIVES.
HE WANTS TO TAKE WORMS AND
00:10:38.26\00:10:43.20
MAKE US INTO BUTTERFLIES.
00:10:43.20\00:10:43.73
HE WANTS TO CREATE
SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL OUT OF
00:10:43.73\00:10:46.36
OUR LIVES. AND HOW DOES
HE DO THAT? "BY THE RENEWAL
00:10:46.36\00:10:47.40
OF YOUR MIND".
REMEMBER LAST WEEK WE TALKED
00:10:47.40\00:10:53.53
ABOUT THE JEWISHNESS.TWO
WEEKS AGO, IT'S NOT BEING
00:10:53.53\00:11:00.76
SOMETHING ON THE
OUTWARD PART OF YOUR LIFE, YOU
00:11:00.76\00:11:01.73
NEED TO CIRCUMSIZE
YOUR HEART. AND JESUS SAYS,
00:11:01.73\00:11:04.33
IT'S OUT OF THE HEART, OR
OUT OF THE MIND THAT COMES
00:11:04.33\00:11:09.90
THEFT AND ADULTERY AND
ALL THESE OTHER THINGS. THAT'S
00:11:09.90\00:11:11.00
MATTHEW 15. GOD WANTS TO
RENEW OUR MIND AND OUT OF
00:11:11.00\00:11:16.33
RENEWED MIND WILL
BECOME A NEW WAY OF LIVING. AND
00:11:16.33\00:11:25.80
THEN THAT'S THE
INTRODUCTION, REALLY, TO
00:11:25.80\00:11:26.66
CHAPTERS TWELVE, THIRTEEN,
FOURTEEN, AND THE FIRST
00:11:26.66\00:11:34.16
HALF OF FIFTEEN. LIVING
THE TRANSFORMED LIFE. HOW
00:11:34.16\00:11:42.03
DOES THIS OPERATE IN
THE REAL WORLD? WELL, HE
00:11:42.03\00:11:42.96
GIVES SO MANY, SO MANY
ILLUSTRATIONS. LET'S JUST
00:11:42.96\00:11:48.13
BEGIN TO PICK UP A
COUPLE OF VERSES NOW AND THEN.
00:11:48.13\00:11:53.76
VERSE THREE OF CHAPTER
TWELVE, "FOR BY THEN THE
00:11:53.76\00:11:54.86
GRACE GIVEN TO ME I
BID EVERYONE AMONG YOU NOT
00:11:54.86\00:12:00.60
TO THINK OF HIMSELF
MORE HIGHLY THAN HE OUGHT TO
00:12:00.60\00:12:04.50
THINK". WELL, THAT'S
PRETTY TRANSFORMED NOW,
00:12:04.50\00:12:05.46
ISN'T IT? IS THIS THE
WAY POLITICS OPERATES IN
00:12:05.46\00:12:08.86
CANADA? I MEAN,
MOHAMAD ALI IS ONE OF MY
00:12:08.86\00:12:14.43
NEIGHBOURS AT THE
UNIVERSITY I TEACH.
00:12:14.43\00:12:15.26
HE LIVES IN THE SAME
COMMUNITY. YOU KNOW THE
00:12:15.26\00:12:17.83
TITLE OF HIS BOOK,
DON'T YOU? >>BILL: NO. >>DR.
00:12:17.83\00:12:19.63
KNIGHT: 'I'M THE
GREATEST'. >>BILL: I'M THE
00:12:19.63\00:12:20.53
GREATEST. >>DR.
KNIGHT: YEAH. THE CHRISTIAN HAS
00:12:20.53\00:12:22.63
A DIFFERENT SONG, HAS A
DIFFERENT TITLE. 'CHRIST
00:12:22.63\00:12:25.96
IS THE GREATEST'. LET
HIM BE GREATER AND LET ME BE
00:12:25.96\00:12:26.96
SMALLER. AND WE EVEN
THINK OF OUR NEIGHBOURS BETTER
00:12:26.96\00:12:31.60
THAN OURSELVES. I MEAN,
THAT'S PRETTY TRANSFORMED,
00:12:31.60\00:12:37.10
DON'T YOU THINK? >>BILL:
THAT'S PRETTY TRANSFORMED.
00:12:37.10\00:12:38.13
>>DR. KNIGHT: NOT NORMAL.
00:12:38.13\00:12:39.33
>>BILL: THAT'S VERY
COUNTER CULTURAL. >>DR.
00:12:39.33\00:12:40.30
KNIGHT: I ALWAYS
SAY THAT CHRISTIANITY IS
00:12:40.30\00:12:42.16
FOR ABNORMAL PEOPLE. THE
PROBLEM IS THAT THERE ARE
00:12:42.16\00:12:43.96
TOO MANY OF US IN THE
CHURCH WHO ARE NORMAL.
00:12:43.96\00:12:45.03
SO, THIS IS PRETTY
TRANSFORMED. >>BILL:
00:12:45.03\00:12:49.46
YES. >>DR. KNIGHT: "I
BID EVERYONE OF YOU TO NOT
00:12:49.46\00:12:52.63
THINK OF HIMSELF MORE
HIGHLY THAN ANOTHER THING
00:12:52.63\00:12:53.63
BUT TO THINK WITH SOBER
JUDGMENT", AND IT GOES ON
00:12:53.63\00:12:56.20
IN VERSE SIX, "GOD GIVES
US EACH GIFTS". SO WE GET
00:12:56.20\00:12:59.93
A DISCUSSION OF SPIRITUAL
GIFTS. EVERY ONE OF US,
00:12:59.93\00:13:01.03
BILL, HAS A TALENT THAT
WE CAN USE FOR GOD. THAT
00:13:01.03\00:13:08.83
DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE'RE
GOING TO BE WORKING IN THE
00:13:08.83\00:13:13.06
CHURCH. MOST OF
GOD'S HEROES ARE LAY PEOPLE
00:13:13.06\00:13:14.03
>>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:13:14.03\00:13:21.00
KNIGHT: I MEAN, LET'S
FACE IT, SOME OF US ARE CALLED
00:13:21.00\00:13:22.06
TO WORK IN THE CHURCH.
00:13:22.06\00:13:23.73
OTHERS, I MEAN.WHAT DID
JESUS SAY ABOUT THE LITTLE
00:13:23.73\00:13:24.80
WIDOW? SHE PUT IN HER
TWO MITES AND HE SAID SHE
00:13:24.80\00:13:28.83
GAVE MORE THAN THEM
ALL >>BILL: THAT'S RIGHT.
00:13:28.83\00:13:31.33
>>DR. KNIGHT: BUT SHE
GAVE WHAT SHE HAD. THEN DOWN
00:13:31.33\00:13:32.40
IN VERSE NINE .THE
FIRST THING HE WANTS TO SAY
00:13:32.40\00:13:35.56
ABOUT TRANSFORMED
LIVING IS 'DON'T ARGUE AMONG
00:13:35.56\00:13:43.33
YOURSELF, WHO'S GOING
TO BE THE ELDER IN THE
00:13:43.33\00:13:44.30
CHURCH. WHO'S GOING TO
BE THE MOST IMPORTANT'. JUST
00:13:44.30\00:13:47.56
USE GOD'S GIFTS AND LIVE
LIKE A CHRISTIAN. >>BILL:
00:13:47.56\00:13:53.80
THAT'S RIGHT. >>DR.
00:13:53.80\00:13:54.26
KNIGHT: I'VE PASTORED
SOME CHURCHES I WISHED HAD READ
00:13:54.26\00:13:56.43
THESE VERSES. OKAY, THEN
HE GOES ON ABOUT CHRISTIAN
00:13:56.43\00:13:57.46
CONDUCT IN PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIPS, VERSE NINE,
00:13:57.46\00:14:05.26
"LET YOUR LOVE BE GENUINE,
HATE ONES EVIL, FAST WHICH
00:14:05.26\00:14:11.20
IS GOOD, LOVE ONE ANOTHER
WITH BROTHERLY AFFECTION,
00:14:11.20\00:14:12.23
OUTDO ONE ANOTHER IN
SHOWING HONOUR". >>BILL:
00:14:12.23\00:14:17.23
WOW. >>DR. KNIGHT:
WOW, THAT'S PRETTY GOOD. I
00:14:17.23\00:14:20.66
BELIEVE IN COMPETITION.
00:14:20.66\00:14:21.20
I BELIEVE WE OUGHT TO
COMPETE IN HONOURING THE
00:14:21.20\00:14:23.63
OTHER PERSON MORE
THAN OURSELVES. THAT'S.IT'S
00:14:23.63\00:14:24.60
BEGINNING TO SOUND
LIKE THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT
00:14:24.60\00:14:28.20
DOWN THERE IN VERSE 13
>>BILL: YES. ABSOLUTELY,
00:14:28.20\00:14:30.30
IT IS. >>DR. KNIGHT:
VERSE 14, "BLESS THOSE WHO
00:14:30.30\00:14:31.30
PERSECUTE YOU. BLESS
THEM AND DO NOT CURSE THEM".
00:14:31.30\00:14:33.03
OY, YOY, YOY. DOWN VERSE
19, "BELOVED, NEVER AVENGE
00:14:33.03\00:14:37.66
YOURSELVES BUT LEAVE IT
TO THE WRATH OF GOD FOR WHAT
00:14:37.66\00:14:38.73
IS WRITTEN, VENGENCE
IS MINE". OH HOW HARD
00:14:38.73\00:14:43.76
IT IS, BILL, TO LIVE THE
TRANSFORMED LIFE. SOMEBODY
00:14:43.76\00:14:48.83
PUNCHES ME WHAT'S MY
FIRST REACTION? >>BILL: YOU
00:14:48.83\00:14:49.86
WANT TO PUNCH BACK. >>DR.
00:14:49.86\00:14:52.70
KNIGHT: YEAH, HARDER.
00:14:52.70\00:14:53.20
THEY DESERVE IT.
>>BILL: THEY'VE EARNED IT. >>DR.
00:14:53.20\00:14:56.26
KNIGHT: BUT YOU
KNOW, BILL, HERE'S AN
00:14:56.26\00:14:57.10
ILLUSTRATION OF GRACE,
'I LIKE GETTING GRACE, I
00:14:57.10\00:14:59.10
JUST DON'T LIKE PASSING
IT ON' >>BILL: THAT'S RIGHT.
00:14:59.10\00:15:01.23
>>DR. KNIGHT: I
LIKE GETTING WHAT I DON'T
00:15:01.23\00:15:02.13
DESERVE BUT I'M GONNA
GIVE YOU EXACTLY WHAT YOU
00:15:02.13\00:15:04.10
DESERVE. NO, NO. IF
YOU'RE WALKING WITH JESUS, IF
00:15:04.10\00:15:07.83
YOU'RE WALKING WITH
JESUS YOU HAVE A TRANSFORMED
00:15:07.83\00:15:08.83
MIND AND YOU'RE LIVING AS
A LIVING SACRIFICE. YOU'RE
00:15:08.83\00:15:16.40
ON THE ALTER OF GOD. I
THINK THAT THIS IS PRETTY
00:15:16.40\00:15:22.60
SERIOUS, THIS CHAPTER.
00:15:22.60\00:15:23.10
>>BILL: VERY SERIOUS.
00:15:23.10\00:15:23.56
>>DR. KNIGHT: THEN IT
GOES ON TO CHAPTER THIRTEEN AND
00:15:23.56\00:15:27.86
IT TALKS ABOUT THE
FIRST SEVEN VERSES. WE COULD
00:15:27.86\00:15:33.36
SPEND A LOT OF TIME THERE.
00:15:33.36\00:15:33.93
I'M GONNA PASS OVER
THEM RATHER QUICKLY BUT IT'S
00:15:33.93\00:15:36.40
PICKING UP ON WHAT JESUS
SAID, 'GIVE TO CAESAR WHAT
00:15:36.40\00:15:37.43
IS CAESAR'S AND GIVE
TO GOD WHAT IS GOD'S'. AND
00:15:37.43\00:15:41.46
RECOGNIZING THAT GOD
HAS APPOINTED A CIVIL
00:15:41.46\00:15:46.10
GOVERNMENT. EVEN A BAD
GOVERNMENT IS BETTER THAN
00:15:46.10\00:15:47.10
NO GOVERNMENT AT ALL.
THEN VERSE.OH, I REALLY WANT
00:15:47.10\00:15:51.90
TO GET DOWN TO VERSE
EIGHT THIS IS IMPORTANT. WE'RE
00:15:51.90\00:16:00.83
GONNA READ ALL OF
VERSES EIGHT TO TEN. >>BILL:
00:16:00.83\00:16:01.80
OKAY. >>DR. KNIGHT: THE
CALL TO LOVE. THIS IS WHAT
00:16:01.80\00:16:04.96
THE HEART OF THE GOSPEL
IS ALL ABOUT. "OWE NO ONE
00:16:04.96\00:16:10.93
ANYTHING EXCEPT TO
LOVE ONE ANOTHER. FOR HE WHO
00:16:10.93\00:16:11.96
LOVES HIS NEIGHBOUR HAS
FULFILLED THE LAW." THAT'S
00:16:11.96\00:16:17.13
PRETTY POWERFUL. PAUL
IS NOT AGAINST THE LAW. IN
00:16:17.13\00:16:23.53
FACT, HE'S TALKING
ABOUT THE TEN COMMANDMENT LAW
00:16:23.53\00:16:24.53
HOW DO WE KNOW THAT?
VERSE NINE, "THE COMMANDMENT
00:16:24.53\00:16:30.56
YOU SHALL NOT COMMITT
ADULTERY, YOU SHOULD NOT
00:16:30.56\00:16:33.53
KILL, YOU SHOULD NOT
STEAL, YOU SHOULD NOT
00:16:33.53\00:16:34.46
COVET, AND IN ANY OTHER
COMMANDMENT ARE SUMMED UP
00:16:34.46\00:16:37.13
IN THIS SENTENCE YOU
SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS
00:16:37.13\00:16:39.76
YOURSELF. LOVE DOES
NO WRONG TO A NEIGHBOUR;
00:16:39.76\00:16:40.86
THEREFORE, LOVE IS THE
FULFILLING OF THE LAW".
00:16:40.86\00:16:43.00
YOU KNOW THE REAL PROBLEM
IS, BILL, IS THAT TOO MANY
00:16:43.00\00:16:48.66
PEOPLE THINK IF THEY'RE
JUST GOOD ON THE OUTSIDE,
00:16:48.66\00:16:49.80
OH, I'M A GOOD CHRISTIAN.
00:16:49.80\00:16:53.96
I DON'T STEAL; I DON'T
USE GOD'S NAME IN VAIN. I TRY
00:16:53.96\00:16:55.03
TO, YOU KNOW. >>BILL: YES.
00:16:55.03\00:17:02.40
>>DR. KNIGHT: AND I'VE
MET SOME CHRISTIANS WHO
00:17:02.40\00:17:03.40
ARE MEANER THAN THE DEVIL.
00:17:03.40\00:17:06.43
THEY'VE GOT THE OUTWARD.
00:17:06.43\00:17:06.93
THEY'RE NOT "BAD
PEOPLE" ACCORDING TO THE
00:17:06.93\00:17:12.50
COMMANDMENTS BUT THEY
HAVEN'T HAD THEIR HEART
00:17:12.50\00:17:13.50
CHANGED. >>BILL: RIGHT.
00:17:13.50\00:17:20.53
>>DR. KNIGHT:
THERE'S STILL A SLUG-LIKE
00:17:20.53\00:17:21.40
THING.>>BILL: YES. NOT
A BUTTERFLY. THE WORM WITH
00:17:21.40\00:17:23.23
THE LEGS. >>DR. KNIGHT:
THEY'VE GOT WINGS PASTED
00:17:23.23\00:17:25.03
ON OR AS JESUS WOULD
SAY OVER IN MATTHEW, THEY'RE
00:17:25.03\00:17:26.00
WHITE WAR SUPPLICKERS?
00:17:26.00\00:17:29.63
>>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:17:29.63\00:17:30.10
KNIGHT: YOU KNOW, I THINK
THE DEVIL IS PRETTY SMART.
00:17:30.10\00:17:32.80
HE'S GOT SOME OF THESE
PEOPLE IN EVERY CHURCH AND
00:17:32.80\00:17:33.83
WE NEED TO REALIZE
THAT THE REAL LAW OF GOD
00:17:33.83\00:17:36.86
IS REFLECTED IN THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS BUT THE TEN
00:17:36.86\00:17:42.30
COMMANDMENTS IS NOT
THE LAW. THERE'S SOMETHING
00:17:42.30\00:17:43.30
DEEPER. WHEN THE
LAWYER ASKED JESUS, WHAT'S
00:17:43.30\00:17:47.16
THE LAW? WHAT DID HE SAY?
00:17:47.16\00:17:47.66
WHAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT
LAW? >>BILL: TO LOVE GOD
00:17:47.66\00:17:51.53
WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND
WITH ALL YOUR SOUL. LOVE
00:17:51.53\00:17:53.96
YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS
YOURSELF. >>DR. KNIGHT:
00:17:53.96\00:17:54.86
YEAH. LOVE GOD WITH
ALL YOUR HEART AND MIND AND
00:17:54.86\00:17:57.56
SOUL AND THE SECOND IS
LIKENED TO IT; YOU SHALL
00:17:57.56\00:18:02.56
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOUR AS
YOURSELF. THAT'S MATTHEW
00:18:02.56\00:18:03.53
22, VERSE 36 - 40.
>>BILL: YES. >>DR. KNIGHT: WHAT
00:18:03.53\00:18:08.16
WE FIND HERE IS THE SAME
THING EXCEPT HERE WE HAVE
00:18:08.16\00:18:12.33
THAT SAME THING APPLIED
TO THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. AND,
00:18:12.33\00:18:13.43
OF COURSE, HERE HE
APPLIES IT TO THE SECOND
00:18:13.43\00:18:20.33
COMMANDMENT BECAUSE
THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE HAVING
00:18:20.33\00:18:23.53
TROUBLE, LOVING THEIR
NEIGHBOUR. NONE OF THESE
00:18:23.53\00:18:24.63
PEOPLE WERE HAVING
TROUBLE LOVING GOD. NOW THERE'S
00:18:24.63\00:18:27.23
A SIDELINE THERE. I'VE
MET SOME PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY
00:18:27.23\00:18:30.96
CAN LOVE GOD AND HATE
THEIR NEIGHBOUR. EVEN IN
00:18:30.96\00:18:31.93
THE CHURCH. >>BILL: RIGHT.
00:18:31.93\00:18:36.66
>>DR. KNIGHT: THEY GET
INTO AN ARGUMENT IN THE
00:18:36.66\00:18:37.66
CHURCH BOARD AND TREAT
EACH OTHER NASTY. NO, NO,
00:18:37.66\00:18:39.40
NO. YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
00:18:39.40\00:18:39.86
>>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:18:39.86\00:18:41.10
KNIGHT: JESUS LINKED
THEM TOGETHER. YOU CAN'T LOVE
00:18:41.10\00:18:42.10
GOD WITHOUT LOVING
HIS CHILDREN. >>BILL:
00:18:42.10\00:18:44.76
RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT:
NOW THAT'S.THAT TAKES GRACE.
00:18:44.76\00:18:47.50
YOU SEE, GRACE IS NOT
JUST FOR GIVING GRACE. IT'S
00:18:47.50\00:18:48.53
TRANSFORMING GRACE. TOO
OFTEN CHRISTIANS THINK OF
00:18:48.53\00:18:54.93
GRACE TOO NARROWLY.
GRACE IS TRANSFORMING GRACE,
00:18:54.93\00:19:02.10
IT'S CALLING GRACE FIRST.
00:19:02.10\00:19:02.76
YOU ARE CALLED TO BE A
CHRISTIAN. >>BILL: RIGHT.
00:19:02.76\00:19:04.86
>>DR. KNIGHT: GOD IS
WORKING WITH HIS HOLY
00:19:04.86\00:19:05.73
SPIRIT SAYING, 'WAKE
UP, BILL, WAKE UP, BILL'.
00:19:05.73\00:19:07.73
>>BILL: YES. >>DR. KNIGHT:
AND HE GIVES YOU THE POWER
00:19:07.73\00:19:09.36
TO SAY, 'OKAY, GOD, I
HAVE FAITH'. THAT'S CALLING
00:19:09.36\00:19:10.40
GRACE. >>BILL: RIGHT.
00:19:10.40\00:19:12.23
>>DR. KNIGHT: THEN WE
HAVE FORGIVING GRACE. I DON'T
00:19:12.23\00:19:13.36
KNOW HOW OLD YOU WERE
WHEN YOU BECAME A CHRISTIAN. I
00:19:13.36\00:19:19.13
WAS NINETEEN AND I
SAID, 'GOD FORGIVE ME, I'M A
00:19:19.13\00:19:22.86
SINNER' AND I'LL TELL
YOU, I REALLY WAS AND GOD
00:19:22.86\00:19:23.96
FORGAVE ME. BUT AT
THE SAME TIME, GOD GAVE
00:19:23.96\00:19:28.03
ME TRANSFORMING GRACE.
HE GAVE ME THE ABILITY TO BE
00:19:28.03\00:19:35.16
A BUTTERFLY RATHER THAN A
SLUG. >>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR.
00:19:35.16\00:19:36.23
KNIGHT: AND THEN
BEYOND THAT HE GIVES US
00:19:36.23\00:19:37.66
EMPOWERING GRACE. SO
THAT WE HAVE THE POWER TO WALK
00:19:37.66\00:19:40.73
WITH JESUS DAY BY DAY
BY DAY. NONE OF THIS DO WE
00:19:40.73\00:19:41.73
DESERVE. GOD GIVES IT
ALL TO US. BUT WE LEARNED
00:19:41.73\00:19:46.90

PETER WALKING ON WATER AND HE

STRAIGHT FOR THE
BOTTOM >>BILL: THAT'S RIGHT.
00:20:02.53\00:20:05.03
>>DR. KNIGHT: I THINK
I'VE HAD THAT EXPERIENCE ONCE
00:20:05.03\00:20:06.06
OR TWICE. STRAIGHT TO THE
BOTTOM, THEN I SCREAM OUT,
00:20:06.06\00:20:08.86
'GOD, FORGIVE ME AGAIN.
00:20:08.86\00:20:09.36

>>DR. KNIGHT: FORGIVE

00:20:10.13\00:20:11.23
CIRCLE. GOD CALLS ME BACK.
00:20:11.23\00:20:15.36
I'M ON MY KNEES, HE
FORGIVES ME, HE TRANSFORMS
00:20:15.36\00:20:16.36

LIFE IS A JOURNEY. >>BILL:
00:20:16.36\00:20:21.80
IT KEEPS GOING. >>DR.

KNIGHT: SO, LOVE IS
THE FULFILLING OF THE
00:20:22.26\00:20:28.40
LAW. WHEN I LOVE GOD, I
WILL.WHAT PAUL IS REALLY
00:20:28.40\00:20:34.76
SAYING IS IF YOU LOVE
GOD YOU ARE GOING TO KEEP ALL
00:20:34.76\00:20:35.80
HIS COMMANDMENTS.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE RIPPING
00:20:35.80\00:20:39.03
OFF YOUR NEIGHBOUR,
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE USING HIS
00:20:39.03\00:20:42.16
HUSBAND AND WIFE,
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO, YOU KNOW
00:20:42.16\00:20:43.13
AND HE GOES TO THE
FIRST COMMANDMENT, YOU'RE NOT
00:20:43.13\00:20:44.60
GOING TO USE HIS NAME
IN VAIN, YOU'RE GOING TO BE
00:20:44.60\00:20:46.00
INTERESTED IN HIS
SABBATH, HIS HOLY DAY, AND RIGHT
00:20:46.00\00:20:47.06
ON DOWN, RIGHT ON DOWN
THE LIST. LOVE IS FULFILLING.
00:20:47.06\00:20:48.83
YOU CAN HAVE THE OUTSIDE
WITHOUT HAVING THE INSIDE
00:20:48.83\00:20:52.06
CHANGED. WHAT PAUL IS
SAYING HERE, IS YOU NEED
00:20:52.06\00:20:53.03
THE INSIDE CHANGED
AND THEN THE OUTSIDE HAS
00:20:53.03\00:20:56.60
MEANING. >>BILL: YES.
00:20:56.60\00:20:57.06
>>DR. KNIGHT: OKAY, SO,
THERE IS SO MUCH THAT CAN
00:20:57.06\00:21:04.33
BE SAID HERE BUT LET'S
GO ON TO CHAPTER FOURTEEN
00:21:04.33\00:21:08.30
BECAUSE THESE PEOPLE ARE
REALLY GETTING INTO A BIG
00:21:08.30\00:21:09.30
ARGUMENT OVER HERE.
AND WHAT THEY'RE GETTING
00:21:09.30\00:21:13.86
INTO AN ARGUMENT ABOUT,
IS SOME PEOPLE, THE JEWS WERE
00:21:13.86\00:21:19.96
JUDGING THE GENTILES
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DO
00:21:19.96\00:21:20.90
EVERYTHING THAT THE
JEWS THOUGHT THEY SHOULD.
00:21:20.90\00:21:25.20
>>BILL: RIGHT, RIGHT.
00:21:25.20\00:21:25.66
>>DR. KNIGHT: FOR
EXAMPLE, LET'S START WITH VERSE
00:21:25.66\00:21:27.93
ONE, "AS FOR THE MAN WHO
IS WEAK IN FAITH, WELCOME
00:21:27.93\00:21:32.13
HIM BUT NOT FOR DISPUTES
OVER OPINIONS." WHAT PAUL
00:21:32.13\00:21:33.13
IS REALLY SAYING HERE
IS, 'LET'S GET ON TO WHAT IS
00:21:33.13\00:21:38.73
REALLY IMPORTANT'. >>BILL:
RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT: VERSE
00:21:38.73\00:21:42.23
FOUR, "WHO ARE YOU TO
PASS JUDGMENT ON THE SERVANT OF
00:21:42.23\00:21:43.33
ANOTHER. IT IS BEFORE
HIS OWN MASTER THAT HE STANDS
00:21:43.33\00:21:46.40
OR FALLS. OH, MAN ALIVE.
00:21:46.40\00:21:46.86
HERE THESE CHRISTIANS
ARE PASSING JUDGMENT ON EACH
00:21:46.86\00:21:52.56
OTHER. WHO'S THE MASTER?
00:21:52.56\00:21:53.03
THE MASTER IS GOD.
>>BILL: JESUS CHRIST, YEAH,
00:21:53.03\00:21:57.23
ABSOLUTELY. >>DR. KNIGHT:
SO WHEN I PASS JUDGMENT ON
00:21:57.23\00:22:00.23
SOMEBODY ELSE BECAUSE
THEY ARE DOING THIS OR THEY ARE
00:22:00.23\00:22:01.46
DOING THAT, WHAT HAVE I
DONE? >>BILL: STEPPED INTO
00:22:01.46\00:22:03.06
THE PLACE OF GOD. >>DR.
00:22:03.06\00:22:03.56
KNIGHT: I MADE
MYSELF; I JUST BROKE THE FIRST
00:22:03.56\00:22:05.56
COMMANDMENT. I AM NOW GOD.
00:22:05.56\00:22:06.10
>>BILL: YOU'RE NOT
THEIR MASTER, YEAH. >>DR.
00:22:06.10\00:22:09.80
KNIGHT: NO. I'M NOT
THEIR MASTER. >>BILL: THAT'S
00:22:09.80\00:22:12.00
RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT:
NOW, WHEN I BECOME THE JUDGE
00:22:12.00\00:22:13.03
OF SOMEBODY ELSE, SHEESH.
00:22:13.03\00:22:14.76
OKAY, WELL, HERE.OH,
NO, WE'VE GOT TO STOP DOWN
00:22:14.76\00:22:15.73
HERE IN VERSE TEN.
"WOULD YOU PASS JUDGMENT ON YOUR

BROTHER OR WHY DO YOU
DESPISE YOUR BROTHER? FOR
00:22:24.60\00:22:28.30
WE'LL ALL STAND BEFORE
THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF GOD".
00:22:28.30\00:22:29.43
WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND
SISTERS, GOD IS GOD, AND I
00:22:29.43\00:22:32.83
BETTER KEEP MY EYES ON
THE BIBLE AND ON MY OWN LIFE
00:22:32.83\00:22:38.40
AND MOVE FROM THERE.
00:22:38.40\00:22:38.86
AND HERE WE'VE GOT TWO
DIFFERENT THINGS IN THIS
00:22:38.86\00:22:43.06
PARTICULAR CHAPTER.
WE'VE GOT THE PROBLEMS WITH
00:22:43.06\00:22:44.06
FOODS. >>BILL: OKAY. >>DR.
00:22:44.06\00:22:47.60
KNIGHT: WHAT'S THE
PROBLEMS WITH FOODS? WE'LL
00:22:47.60\00:22:48.56
GO OVER TO.I THINK
IT'S FIRST CORINTHIANS,

EIGHT.I THINK IT'S
EIGHT AND THEY'RE EATING FOODS
00:22:50.23\00:22:53.60
OFFERED TO IDOLS.
>>BILL: RIGHT. >>DR. KNIGHT: OH,
00:22:53.60\00:22:54.60
NO, NO, NO. DON'T
ARGUE ABOUT THIS. SHOULD YOU
00:22:54.60\00:22:58.00
KEEP THE JEWISH
HOLIDAYS NOT THE SABBATH BUT THE
00:22:58.00\00:23:02.56
JEWISH HOLIDAYS LIKE
THE DAY OF PASSOVER. >>BILL:
00:23:02.56\00:23:03.53
YOM KIPPUR. >>DR.
KNIGHT: THESE WERE OPTIONAL.
00:23:03.53\00:23:07.73
AFTERALL, JESUS WAS
OUR PASSOVER. >>BILL: YES.
00:23:07.73\00:23:10.86
>>DR. KNIGHT:
PENTECOST IS IN THE PAST, ETC.
00:23:10.86\00:23:11.83
DON'T GET INTO THESE
JEWISH/GENTILE ARGUMENTS
00:23:11.83\00:23:15.23
IS WHAT HE'S REALLY
SAYING. DON'T JUDGE YOUR
00:23:15.23\00:23:19.76
NEIGHBOUR. OKAY,
THEN DOWN HERE, LET'S JUST
00:23:19.76\00:23:20.66
MOVE THROUGH HERE QUICKLY.
00:23:20.66\00:23:24.66
WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF
TIME, BILL. THE LAST WORDS
00:23:24.66\00:23:25.76
IN THE CHAPTER,
FOURTEEN, "WHATEVER DOES NOT
00:23:25.76\00:23:33.36
PROCEED FROM FAITH IS
SIN" REMEMBER, IT'S THE
00:23:33.36\00:23:36.80
OBEDIENCE OF FAITH. YOU
DON'T WALK WITHOUT FAITH
00:23:36.80\00:23:37.80
WHATEVER OUR WALK OF
LIFE IS, WE WALK WITH JESUS.
00:23:37.80\00:23:41.60

PASSAGE. KEY WORD,
JOY AND HOPE. I'VE BEEN
