00:02:06.86\00:02:10.93
THANK YOU PASTOR DOUG.
>>THANK YOU PASTOR ROSS.
00:02:10.93\00:02:15.10
EVENING. HOW IS EVERYBODY?
I WANT TO WELCOME OUR FRIENDS
00:02:15.10\00:02:19.00
THAT ARE WATCHING VIA
SATELLITE OR INTERNET.
00:02:19.00\00:02:23.63
WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE FRIENDS
THAT ARE PART OF THE CLASS FROM
00:02:23.63\00:02:26.10
AROUND THE WORLD AND WE'RE
GLAD THAT WE COULD BE STUDYING
00:02:26.10\00:02:28.36
TOGETHER. AGAIN,
GOING THROUGH OUR STUDY
00:02:28.36\00:02:31.13
ON PROVERBS AND
WE'RE IN LESSON #3.
00:02:31.13\00:02:37.96
MY FATHER USED TO SAY, 'YOUTH IS
WASTED ON THE YOUNG.' AND WHAT
00:02:37.96\00:02:42.86
HE MEANT BY THAT IS YOU
SOMETIMES GET TOO WISE TOO LATE
00:02:42.86\00:02:47.06
AND BY THE TIME YOU'RE OLD
ENOUGH TO FIGURE OUT WHAT LIFE'S
00:02:47.06\00:02:49.96
ALL ABOUT, YOU DON'T HAVE
ANY STRENGTH LEFT TO LIVE IT.
00:02:49.96\00:02:52.63
SO PROVERBS IS REALLY A
WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL OF
00:02:52.63\00:02:57.30
US, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT ARE
YOUNGER - THERE'S SOME THINGS
00:02:57.30\00:03:00.46
THAT SOLOMON ESPECIALLY SAYS TO
THE YOUNG MAN THAT WE CAN APPLY
00:03:00.46\00:03:05.66
TO OUR LIVES AND GIVE US A
BETTER, MORE ABUNDANT LIFE.
00:03:05.66\00:03:09.16
NOW THIS LESSON, IN PARTICULAR,
IS TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE
00:03:09.16\00:03:13.16
PRIORITIES BECAUSE IT'S TITLED,
'A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.'
00:03:13.16\00:03:16.56
AND SO, UNDERSTANDING THE
PRINCIPLES OF TRUTH, SOLOMON
00:03:16.56\00:03:20.90
TELLS US IT IS A
MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.
00:03:20.90\00:03:24.46
INSURANCE COMPANIES MAKE A
LOT OF MONEY BY BEING ABLE TO
00:03:24.46\00:03:30.13
ESTIMATE AVERAGES OF
WHO HAS GREATER RISK.
00:03:30.13\00:03:35.70
THEY'LL CHARGE YOU MORE PREMIUMS
IF YOU'VE GOT GREATER RISK.
00:03:35.70\00:03:38.66
AND YOUR PREMIUMS WILL BE A LOT
LOWER IF YOU FOLLOW PROVERBS.
00:03:38.66\00:03:46.10
YOU WILL LIVE A LOT LONGER.
YOU'LL AVOID A LOT OF TROUBLE.
00:03:46.10\00:03:52.00
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES - I GUESS
THEY SAY THAT YOUR BRAIN STOPS -
00:03:52.00\00:03:54.73
YOUR BRAIN FINALLY STOPS
GROWING WHEN YOU'RE ABOUT 25.
00:03:54.73\00:03:58.43
IT REACHES ITS MAXIMUM MATURITY.
AND YOU KNOW WHEN IT IS THAT
00:03:58.43\00:04:01.46
INSURANCE COMPANIES FINALLY
BEGIN TO LOWER YOUR DRIVING
00:04:01.46\00:04:04.00
INSURANCE? AGE 25. AND
YOU KIND OF JUST SETTLE IN.
00:04:04.00\00:04:12.10
AND SO LEARNING SOME OF THESE
WISE PRINCIPLES, I THINK, COULD
00:04:12.10\00:04:14.83
MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE.
NOW WE HAVE A MEMORY VERSE,
00:04:14.83\00:04:17.53
PROVERBS 6:23. HERE WE
GO. "FOR THE COMMANDMENT
00:04:17.53\00:04:21.03
IS A LAMP, AND THE
LAW A LIGHT; REPROOFS OF
00:04:21.03\00:04:25.16
INSTRUCTION ARE
THE WAY OF LIFE."
00:04:25.16\00:04:28.66
NOBODY WANTS TO GO AROUND AND
REPROVE ANYBODY BUT, YOU KNOW,
00:04:28.66\00:04:33.10
SOMETIMES IF YOU LOVE A PERSON
YOU NEED TO SAY, 'HEY, THAT IS
00:04:33.10\00:04:36.76
NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO RESPOND'
OR 'THAT'S A DANGEROUS THING TO
00:04:36.76\00:04:39.96
DO' AND IT'S THE LOVING THING.
00:04:39.96\00:04:42.36
GOD GIVES US LOVING REPROOF IN
HIS WORD TO KIND OF KEEP US OUT
00:04:42.36\00:04:45.63
OF TROUBLE BECAUSE IT'S
A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.
00:04:45.63\00:04:48.66
IF YOU HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN, AT
SOME POINT ALONG THE WAY, UNLESS
00:04:48.66\00:04:53.40
YOU RAISE THEM ON A LEASH,
YOU'VE GOT TO TELL THEM HOW TO
00:04:53.40\00:04:55.80
STAY - WE'VE PROBABLY ALL GONE
TO THE STORE AND SEEN KIDS ON
00:04:55.80\00:04:58.66
LEASHES, HAVEN'T WE? AND
WE'VE SEEN KIDS THAT SHOULD
00:04:58.66\00:05:02.80
HAVE BEEN ON LEASHES.
BUT IF YOU WANT THEM TO LEARN
00:05:02.80\00:05:07.53
HOW TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES WHEN
THERE'S TRAFFIC OUT, YOU'VE GOT
00:05:07.53\00:05:11.40
TO TELL THEM TO
STAY OUT OF THE STREET.
00:05:11.40\00:05:13.60
AND IF THEY DON'T LISTEN WHEN
THEY'RE YOUNG, YOU HAVE TO DEAL
00:05:13.60\00:05:16.20
WITH THEM IN FIRM TERMS
THAT THEY CAN UNDERSTAND.
00:05:16.20\00:05:20.26
WHY? TO MAKE THEIR LIVES
DIFFICULT? TO BE OPPRESSIVE?
00:05:20.26\00:05:23.26
OR TO KEEP THEM ALIVE?
IT'S BECAUSE YOU LOVE THEM.
00:05:23.26\00:05:26.50
AND SO THESE ARE THE APPEALS
THAT SOLOMON IS MAKING HERE.
00:05:26.50\00:05:29.56
WE'RE GOING TO GET INTO
OUR STUDY WITH A NUMBER OF
00:05:29.56\00:05:33.03
SCRIPTURES THAT TALK ABOUT
ESPECIALLY THE IDEA OF THE LAW
00:05:33.03\00:05:37.33
IN OUR LIVES. AND HE
USES SOME SYMBOLS AND
00:05:37.33\00:05:41.33
METAPHORS THROUGH -
THROUGHOUT THIS TEACHING.
00:05:41.33\00:05:44.80
SOMEBODY, IN A MOMENT, IS GOING
TO LOOK UP 11 - DEUTERONOMY
00:05:44.80\00:05:48.26
11:18 - AND WHO'S
GOING TO HAVE THAT? OKAY.
00:05:48.26\00:05:51.63
WE'LL GET TO YOU
IN JUST A MOMENT, RON.
00:05:51.63\00:05:53.90
AND I'M GOING TO START OUT
PROVERBS 6:21, SPEAKING OF THE
00:05:53.90\00:06:00.43
LAWS OF WISDOM HE SAYS, "BIND
THEM CONTINUALLY UPON THINE
00:06:00.43\00:06:04.23
HEART, AND TIE
THEM ABOUT THY NECK."
00:06:04.23\00:06:08.10
NOW IS SOLOMON LITERALLY SAYING
THAT THE - THE WORDS OF WISDOM
00:06:08.10\00:06:13.56
SHOULD BE TIED PHYSICALLY ON
OUR HEART AND AROUND OUR NECK?
00:06:13.56\00:06:17.80
OR IS HE USING
SYMBOLIC LANGUAGE?
00:06:17.80\00:06:22.00
BUT WHEN SOMETHING IS ON
YOUR HEART, WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
00:06:22.00\00:06:28.30
IT'S CLOSE TO YOUR AFFECTIONS.
JESUS SAID, 'OUT OF THE
00:06:28.30\00:06:32.00
ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART THE MOUTH
SPEAKS.' THAT MEANS PEOPLE TEND
00:06:32.00\00:06:36.50
TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY LOVE.
YOU'VE PROBABLY MET FOLKS THAT
00:06:36.50\00:06:40.10
ARE - THEY MIGHT BE
AN AVIATION ENTHUSIAST -
00:06:40.10\00:06:44.93
WHAT DO THEY
TALK ABOUT? AIRPLANES.
00:06:44.93\00:06:47.66
OR YOU PROBABLY HAVE MET PEOPLE
BEFORE THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, YOU
00:06:47.66\00:06:52.06
CAN'T HARDLY GET THEIR
ATTENTION, BUT YOU BRING UP
00:06:52.06\00:06:53.63
FOOTBALL OR YOU BRING UP
BASKETBALL OR YOU BRING UP
00:06:53.63\00:06:59.06
FISHING - PEOPLE GET
ADDICTED ON THOSE THINGS.
00:06:59.06\00:07:03.46
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY WANT
TO TALK TO YOU AND THEY KNOW ALL
00:07:03.46\00:07:07.16
THE LITTLE NUANCES AND - WHY?
BECAUSE IT'S ON THEIR HEART.
00:07:07.16\00:07:10.70
AND WHEN SOMETHING'S AROUND YOUR
NECK - IT'S NOT LIKE AROUND THE
00:07:10.70\00:07:14.33
NECK, SOMETHING CHOKING,
IT MEANS - HAVE YOU EVER KNOWN
00:07:14.33\00:07:17.30
SOMEBODY THAT KIND OF KEPT THEIR
KEYS AROUND THEIR NECK SO THEY'D
00:07:17.30\00:07:20.30
ALWAYS KNOW WHERE THEY WERE?
IT MEANS 'CLOSE TO YOUR HEART'
00:07:20.30\00:07:22.76
OR 'YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FORGET
IT.' YOU MIGHT DROP SOMETHING
00:07:22.76\00:07:26.00
FROM YOUR WRIST OR EVEN YOUR
ANKLE, BUT WHEN YOU'VE GOT IT
00:07:26.00\00:07:28.26
AROUND YOUR NECK YOU
INTEND TO HANG ONTO IT.
00:07:28.26\00:07:33.33
AND SO HE USES A
NUMBER OF THESE SYMBOLS.
00:07:33.33\00:07:36.60
ANOTHER EXAMPLE WOULD BE
PROVERBS 7, VERSE 3, "BIND THEM"
00:07:36.60\00:07:41.36
- THESE WORDS OF WISDOM - "BIND
THEM ON YOUR FINGERS; WRITE THEM
00:07:41.36\00:07:45.56
ON THE TABLET OF YOUR HEART."
WHERE IS THE NEW COVENANT
00:07:45.56\00:07:49.50
SUPPOSED TO BE WRITTEN? YEAH.
00:07:49.50\00:07:53.63
SO WHEN GOD IS TALKING - WHEN
JESUS TELLS US THAT 'IF YOU LOVE
00:07:53.63\00:07:58.30
ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS' AND
THE LORD SAYS, 'A NEW COVENANT I
00:07:58.30\00:08:02.00
WILL MAKE WITH
THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL.
00:08:02.00\00:08:03.90
I WILL WRITE MY LAWS ON THEIR
HEARTS' ISN'T THAT SAYING THAT
00:08:03.90\00:08:08.56
IT'S IN OUR AFFECTIONS?
00:08:08.56\00:08:10.70
HOW MUCH EASIER IS IT TO DO THE
WILL OF GOD AND OBEY THE LAW OF
00:08:10.70\00:08:14.36
GOD WHEN YOU LOVE GOD?
WHEN HE'S GOT YOUR HEART?
00:08:14.36\00:08:19.00
AND THIS IS WHAT SOLOMON IS
SAYING IS LEARN THAT GOD GAVE
00:08:19.00\00:08:22.30
YOU THESE LAWS BECAUSE HE LOVES
YOU AND WANTS YOU TO BE SAVED.
00:08:22.30\00:08:26.93
SO AGAIN, BIND
THEM ON YOUR FINGERS.
00:08:26.93\00:08:28.93
YOU EVER SEEN SOMEBODY - THEY
HEAR A NUMBER OR SOMETHING AND
00:08:28.93\00:08:32.63
THEY DON'T WANT TO FORGET, THEY
TAKE THE PEN OUT AND JUST START
00:08:32.63\00:08:34.26
WRITING ON THEIR HAND
SO THEY WON'T FORGET IT?
00:08:34.26\00:08:37.90
ANY OF YOU EVER DONE THAT?
00:08:37.90\00:08:39.63
THEY USED TO SAY - I'VE SEEN ONE
OR TWO PEOPLE DO THIS BEFORE,
00:08:39.63\00:08:46.76
WHERE THEY ACTUALLY TAKE A
RIBBON OR A PIECE OF YARN AND
00:08:46.76\00:08:49.70
THEY'D TIE IT AROUND THEIR
FINGER AND YOU'D SAY, 'WHAT'S
00:08:49.70\00:08:51.23
THAT FOR?' 'IT'S
BECAUSE THERE'S SOMETHING
00:08:51.23\00:08:52.76
I DON'T WANT TO FORGET AND I'M
ABSENT MINDED AND EVERY TIME I
00:08:52.76\00:08:55.03
LOOK I THINK 'OH YEAH, THAT'S
WHAT THAT'S FOR.'' AND I HAVEN'T
00:08:55.03\00:08:58.06
SEEN THAT IN A LONG TIME, BUT
I REMEMBER KNOWING A GRANDMA, IT
00:08:58.06\00:09:01.60
WASN'T MY
GRANDMA, THAT DID THAT.
00:09:01.60\00:09:03.23
I SAID, 'WHAT IS THAT?'
THEY SAID, 'IT'S SOMETHING I'VE
00:09:03.23\00:09:05.83
GOT TO REMEMBER AND WHENEVER
I SEE IT, I REMEMBER.' WELL,
00:09:05.83\00:09:09.83
THAT'S WHAT HE'S SAYING.
AND DID THE LAW OF MOSES ALSO
00:09:09.83\00:09:14.30
HAVE MEMORIALS TO
HELP THEM REMEMBER?
00:09:14.30\00:09:19.30
WHAT WERE THE PRIESTS SUPPOSED
TO HAVE ON THE BORDERS OF THEIR
00:09:19.30\00:09:22.13
GARMENT? A HEM
OF WHAT COLOR? BLUE.
00:09:22.13\00:09:29.10
THEY WERE TO PUT TASSELS
AND BORDERS OF BLUE ON THEIR
00:09:29.10\00:09:32.86
GARMENTS AND YOU LOOK, YOU'LL
SEE MANY OF THE PICTURES OF
00:09:32.86\00:09:35.30
JESUS - HE'S
OFTEN GOT A HEM OF BLUE.
00:09:35.30\00:09:38.20
SOME OF THE ARTISTS KNEW THAT.
00:09:38.20\00:09:39.63
AND YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN
THE JEWISH PRAYER CLOTHS.
00:09:39.63\00:09:42.30
THEY'RE ALMOST ALWAYS STRIPED
WITH BLUE AND IT'S BECAUSE THIS
00:09:42.30\00:09:46.03
WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A REMINDER
TO THEM OF THE LAW OF GOD.
00:09:46.03\00:09:50.20
WHENEVER THEY'D SEE IT, THEY'D
REMEMBER HAVING THESE MEMORIALS.
00:09:50.20\00:09:53.40
AS THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
TRAVELED - SOMETIMES WHEN THINGS
00:09:53.40\00:09:56.83
HAPPENED THEY'D SET UP A PILE OF
STONES, YOU KNOW, IT JUST LOOKED
00:09:56.83\00:10:02.10
LIKE A PILE OF ROCKS
BUT IT MEANT SOMETHING.
00:10:02.10\00:10:04.86
AND WHEN THEY CROSSED THE JORDAN
RIVER, THEY HAD TWELVE OF THE
00:10:04.86\00:10:08.00
STRONGEST MEN TAKE ROCKS FROM IN
THE RIVER - PROBABLY WATER-WORN
00:10:08.00\00:10:11.86
AND SMOOTH, MAYBE CAREFULLY
CHOSEN TO BE PRETTY ROCKS - THEY
00:10:11.86\00:10:16.60
PUT THEM ON THEIR SHOULDERS
- THEY'RE HEAVY ROCKS - THEY'RE
00:10:16.60\00:10:18.33
NOT CARRYING THEM WITH ONE HAND
- AND THEY BROUGHT THEM OUT AND
00:10:18.33\00:10:20.83
THEY MADE A STACK OF TWELVE
STONES THERE AND THAT WAS TO BE
00:10:20.83\00:10:23.23
A MEMORIAL ABOUT THE TIME GOD
PARTED THE JORDAN RIVER AND THEY
00:10:23.23\00:10:26.76
CROSSED OVER. SO
THEY'D SEE IT AND IT WOULD
00:10:26.76\00:10:28.50
VISUALLY REMIND THEM. WHAT
WERE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
00:10:28.50\00:10:31.76
SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THE LAW
OF GOD TO HELP THEM REMEMBER?
00:10:31.76\00:10:35.23
DEUTERONOMY 6, VERSE 6 - NOW WHO
KNOWS, WITHOUT PEEKING, WHAT'S
00:10:35.23\00:10:42.50
IN DEUTERONOMY FIVE?
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:10:42.50\00:10:48.23
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS YOU FIND IN
EXODUS CHAPTER 20 ARE REPEATED
00:10:48.23\00:10:51.80
ALMOST VERBATIM -
THERE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENCE -
00:10:51.80\00:10:53.70
IN DEUTERONOMY
5. DEUTERONOMY 5 -
00:10:53.70\00:10:55.76
MOSES IS PARAPHRASING A
LITTLE BIT - HE DOES A LITTLE
00:10:55.76\00:10:58.13
COMMENTARY IN SOME OF
THE COMMANDMENTS - BUT IT'S A
00:10:58.13\00:11:00.46
REPEAT - MATTER OF FACT,
THE WORD 'DEUTERONOMY' MEANS 'A
00:11:00.46\00:11:03.23
REPEATING OF THE LAW' AND SO
HE REPEATS THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:11:03.23\00:11:06.50
SO CHAPTER 5 - REMEMBER, THERE'S
NO CHAPTERS IN THE BIBLE.
00:11:06.50\00:11:08.80
DEUTERONOMY IS LIKE THE FINAL
SERMON OF MOSES BEFORE HE DIES
00:11:08.80\00:11:12.26
AND HE'S REHEARSING
HOW GOD HAS LED THEM.
00:11:12.26\00:11:15.66
SO HE'S JUST FINISHED SAYING THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS IN CHAPTER 5
00:11:15.66\00:11:18.76
AND YOU GET TO CHAPTER 6 WHEN
HE SAYS, 'AND THESE WORDS THAT I
00:11:18.76\00:11:22.83
COMMAND YOU TODAY' - WHAT
WORDS IS HE TALKING ABOUT?
00:11:22.83\00:11:25.60
HE'S TALKING
ABOUT THE LAW OF GOD.
00:11:25.60\00:11:27.73
"AND THESE WORDS WHICH I COMMAND
YOU TODAY SHALL BE IN YOUR
00:11:27.73\00:11:30.80
HEART." NOW,
AGAIN, IS THAT PHYSICALLY
00:11:30.80\00:11:34.60
OR IS IT A SYMBOL? SYMBOL.
00:11:34.60\00:11:37.96
"YOU SHALL TEACH THEM
DILIGENTLY TO YOUR CHILDREN."
00:11:37.96\00:11:41.80
NOW DOES HE JUST SAY
TEACH THEM? OR TEACH THEM HOW?
00:11:41.80\00:11:45.96
>>DILIGENTLY. >>WHAT
DOES 'DILIGENTLY' MEAN?
00:11:45.96\00:11:51.10
'ENTHUSIASTICALLY; FAITHFULLY;
RIGOROUSLY; CAREFULLY' - MAKE
00:11:51.10\00:11:57.10
SURE THAT YOU DON'T FORGET.
TEACH THESE WORDS DILIGENTLY
00:11:57.10\00:12:01.00
TO YOUR CHILDREN. WHY?
00:12:01.00\00:12:04.60
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE -
THAT'S WHEN THE CONCRETE'S SOFT
00:12:04.60\00:12:08.66
AND YOU CAN MAKE IMPRESSIONS
THAT WILL LAST THROUGH THEIR
00:12:08.66\00:12:12.33
LIVES. THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE
DEVELOPING THEIR CHARACTERS.
00:12:12.33\00:12:15.30
"TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY TO YOUR
CHILDREN, AND SHALL TALK OF THEM
00:12:15.30\00:12:18.20
WHEN YOU SIT IN YOUR HOUSE, WHEN
YOU WALK BY THE WAY, WHEN YOU
00:12:18.20\00:12:22.63
LIE DOWN, AND WHEN YOU RISE UP."
THEY WERE TO SURROUND THEMSELVES
00:12:22.63\00:12:28.60
WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AND
THE WORDS OF GOD AND THE LAWS
00:12:28.60\00:12:32.30
OF GOD. WHY DID THEY GET?
00:12:32.30\00:12:34.53
- I MEAN, I BET SEVERAL OF
YOU COULD PROBABLY QUOTE THE TEN
00:12:34.53\00:12:37.73
COMMANDMENTS BECAUSE YOU'RE GOOD
GRANITE BAY CHURCH MEMBERS BUT,
00:12:37.73\00:12:42.00
YOU KNOW, THE AVERAGE CHRISTIAN
- REALLY, THE AVERAGE CHRISTIAN
00:12:42.00\00:12:45.03
CAN'T QUOTE HALF OF
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:12:45.03\00:12:47.70
THE AVERAGE CHRISTIAN COULDN'T
NAME THEM - EVEN SUMMARIZE -
00:12:47.70\00:12:51.03
SAY, 'NAME THE TEN COMMANDMENTS'
- I MEAN, EVEN THE ABBREVIATED
00:12:51.03\00:12:53.20
VERSIONS LIKE 'REMEMBER THE
SABBATH DAY' - IF THAT'S ALL
00:12:53.20\00:12:55.76
THEY HAD TO REMEMBER. A
LOT OF THEM WOULD END UP WITH
00:12:55.76\00:12:58.46
SEVEN OR EIGHT, BELIEVE IT OR
NOT. BUT THAT'S WHY MOSES SAID,
00:12:58.46\00:13:05.86
'LAY DOWN' - EVENING WORSHIP;
'RISE UP' - MORNING WORSHIP;
00:13:05.86\00:13:10.06
'WALKING BY THE WAY'
- WORSHIP ON VACATION -
00:13:10.06\00:13:13.70
JUST ALL THE TIME SURROUND
YOURSELF WITH THE WORD OF GOD.
00:13:13.70\00:13:16.80
AND THEN HE GOES ON AND SAYS,
"YOU SHALL BIND THEM AS A SIGN
00:13:16.80\00:13:19.40
ON YOUR HAND, AND THEY SHALL BE
AS FRONTLETS BETWEEN YOUR EYES.
00:13:19.40\00:13:24.53
YOU SHALL WRITE THEM ON THE
DOORPOSTS OF YOUR HOUSE AND ON
00:13:24.53\00:13:28.26
YOUR GATES." NOW, DID
HE LITERALLY MEAN WRITE
00:13:28.26\00:13:32.80
THEM ON THE GATES OR WAS HE
SAYING JUST SURROUND YOURSELF
00:13:32.80\00:13:36.63
WITH THEM SO YOU WON'T FORGET?
YOU'LL FIND A LOT OF JEWISH
00:13:36.63\00:13:43.20
HOMES HAVE A LITTLE PLACARD
WITH SCRIPTURES ROLLED UP -
00:13:43.20\00:13:48.13
I'M TRYING TO REMEMBER
WHAT IT'S CALLED RIGHT NOW.
00:13:48.13\00:13:49.70
>>MEZUZAH.
>>YEAH, ON THE DOORPOSTS
00:13:49.70\00:13:55.06
THEY'D PUT THEIR HAND ON IT AND
KISS IT WHEN THEY'D WALK IN THE
00:13:55.06\00:13:57.80
DOOR. OR YOU'VE SEEN THE JEWISH
- SOME OF THE ORTHODOX JEWS THEY
00:13:57.80\00:14:05.16
HAVE THE PHYLACTERIES
- THEY HAVE A LITTLE
00:14:05.16\00:14:07.50
BOX WITH
SCRIPTURE ON THEIR WRISTS.
00:14:07.50\00:14:09.40
IT'S WRAPPED WITH LEATHER
A CERTAIN NUMBER OF TIMES AND
00:14:09.40\00:14:12.36
THEY'LL HAVE ONE
HANGING ON THEIR FOREHEAD.
00:14:12.36\00:14:14.50
AND WHEN IT SAYS 'BETWEEN YOUR
EYES AND IN YOUR HAND' MOSES
00:14:14.50\00:14:19.06
MEANT IN YOUR ACTIONS - IN YOUR
THOUGHTS - BECAUSE DIDN'T HE
00:14:19.06\00:14:23.10
ALSO SAY, 'IN YOUR HEART?'
SO IF IN YOUR HEART'S A SYMBOL,
00:14:23.10\00:14:26.63
PUTTING THEM IN YOUR HAND AND
PUTTING THEM ON YOUR FOREHEAD,
00:14:26.63\00:14:31.30
THAT OBVIOUSLY MEANT IN YOUR
THOUGHTS AND IN YOUR ACTIONS.
00:14:31.30\00:14:34.43
NOW, I THINK RON'S GOING TO READ
THIS NEXT VERSE AND THAT KIND OF
00:14:34.43\00:14:37.16
HELPS ILLUSTRATE THAT
POINT. DEUTERONOMY 11:18.
00:14:37.16\00:14:41.43
>>IT SAYS, "THEREFORE YOU SHALL
LAY UP THESE WORDS OF MINE IN
00:14:41.43\00:14:44.86
YOUR HEART AND IN YOUR SOUL,
AND BIND THEM AS A SIGN ON YOUR
00:14:44.86\00:14:48.46
HAND, AND THEY SHALL BE AS
FRONTLETS BETWEEN YOUR EYES."
00:14:48.46\00:14:52.66
>>NOW THERE YOU HAVE IT
AGAIN, A SIGN ON YOUR HAND -
00:14:52.66\00:14:56.16
FRONTLETS BETWEEN YOUR EYES.
00:14:56.16\00:14:58.20
I'M GOING TO READ YOU ONE MORE
- THIS IS ACTUALLY COMING FROM
00:14:58.20\00:15:00.80
EXODUS - EXODUS 8 - 13, VERSES 8
AND 9 - EXODUS 13:8 AND 9, "AND
00:15:00.80\00:15:07.03
YOU SHALL TELL YOUR SON IN
THAT DAY, SAYING, 'THIS IS DONE
00:15:07.03\00:15:10.43
BECAUSE OF WHAT THE LORD DID FOR
ME WHEN I CAME UP FROM EGYPT.'"
00:15:10.43\00:15:13.03
- HE'S SPEAKING OF THE PASSOVER
- "IT SHALL BE AS A SIGN TO YOU
00:15:13.03\00:15:16.40
ON YOUR HAND AND AS A MEMORIAL
BETWEEN YOUR EYES, THAT THE
00:15:16.40\00:15:20.50
LORD'S LAW MAY BE IN YOUR
MOUTH;" - NOW THERE'S A CLUE -
00:15:20.50\00:15:24.33
OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE
WHAT? THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKS
00:15:24.33\00:15:29.33
- "FOR WITH A STRONG HAND
THE LORD HAS BROUGHT YOU OUT OF
00:15:29.33\00:15:31.43
EGYPT." NOW THIS
IS VERY IMPORTANT
00:15:31.43\00:15:33.46
BECAUSE EVERYONE IN THE WORLD,
WHEN THEY HEAR ABOUT THE MARK OF
00:15:33.46\00:15:37.16
THE BEAST IN THE FOREHEAD OR IN
THE HAND. WHAT DO THEY THINK OF?
00:15:37.16\00:15:42.06
HAVE YOU HEARD IT SAID BEFORE
THAT THAT MEANS 'WATCH OUT, IN
00:15:42.06\00:15:44.60
THE LAST DAYS THE BEAST POWER'S
GOING TO GET EVERYONE TO LINE UP
00:15:44.60\00:15:47.10
AND THEY'RE GOING TO TATTOO YOU
ON YOUR HAND OR ON YOUR FOREHEAD
00:15:47.10\00:15:51.56
- AND EVERYONE
WONDERS, 'IS IT A BAR CODE?
00:15:51.56\00:15:55.43
IS IT THE NUMBER
666? IS IT A TATTOO?
00:15:55.43\00:15:58.03
IS IT ONE OF
THOSE COMPUTER CHIPS?'
00:15:58.03\00:16:01.60
- WHAT DO THEY CALL
THOSE? >>MICROCHIPS.
00:16:01.60\00:16:05.60
>>MICROCHIPS. THERE'S
ANOTHER WORD THEY USE FOR THEM.
00:16:05.60\00:16:07.00
>>NANOCHIPS. >>WELL,
YEAH, MICROCHIPS, BUT
00:16:07.00\00:16:09.76
IT'S A CHIP - AN I.D.
CHIP - THEY PUT THEM IN PETS.
00:16:09.76\00:16:12.33
NOW WHEN YOU LOCATE - I GUESS
IT'S HELPFUL - YOU'LL GET A
00:16:12.33\00:16:15.10
STRAY DOG AND THEY JUST SCAN
IT AND SAY, 'OH, WE KNOW WHOSE
00:16:15.10\00:16:17.60
DOG THIS IS.' SO BIG BROTHER
IS EVEN WATCHING THE DOGS - NO.
00:16:17.60\00:16:23.30
AND SO PEOPLE ARE WONDERING, 'IS
THAT WHAT IT MEANS - IN THE HAND
00:16:23.30\00:16:26.60
- IN THE FOREHEAD' - 'HOW
ARE THEY GOING TO DO THAT?'
00:16:26.60\00:16:27.93
- OR 'MAYBE IT'LL BE
ULTRAVIOLET' OR 'WHAT KIND OF -
00:16:27.93\00:16:29.60
IS IT A VISIBLE TATTOO?' OR
- THEY'RE TOTALLY MISSING THE
00:16:29.60\00:16:32.60
POINT. WHEN IT
SAYS, SEVERAL TIMES -
00:16:32.60\00:16:35.30
I READ YOU THREE, RIGHT NOW,
TIMES IN THE BIBLE WHERE IT SAYS
00:16:35.30\00:16:38.96
'IN THE HAND AND IN THE
FOREHEAD.' IN REVELATION,
00:16:38.96\00:16:42.76
WHERE'S THE SEAL OF GOD?
THEY HAVE THEIR FATHER'S NAME
00:16:42.76\00:16:48.16
WRITTEN WHERE?
IN THEIR FOREHEAD.
00:16:48.16\00:16:50.43
WHERE DOES 'MYSTERY, BABYLON,
MOTHER OF HARLOTS' APPEAR?
00:16:50.43\00:16:55.13
IT'S ON THE FOREHEAD OF
THAT WOMAN IN REVELATION, RIGHT?
00:16:55.13\00:16:59.10
WHERE DID GOLIATH GET
STRUCK WITH THE STONE?
00:16:59.10\00:17:04.63
>>IN THE
FOREHEAD. >>IN THE FOREHEAD.
00:17:04.63\00:17:07.36
IT'S KIND OF INTERESTING.
WHAT WAS THE ONLY THING LEFT OF
00:17:07.36\00:17:10.36
JEZEBEL AFTER THEY
WENT TO CHECK ON HER?
00:17:10.36\00:17:14.30
HER SKULL AND THE
PALMS OF HER HANDS.
00:17:14.30\00:17:17.50
'IN THE HAND AND IN THE
FOREHEAD' - IT'S KIND OF
00:17:17.50\00:17:19.73
INTERESTING. IT'S A SYMBOL.
00:17:19.73\00:17:21.66
SO WHEN IT SAYS, IN REVELATION,
THE BEAST IS GOING TO MARK
00:17:21.66\00:17:24.36
PEOPLE IN THE HAND OR IN
THE FOREHEAD, IT'S VERY SIMPLE.
00:17:24.36\00:17:29.40
EVERYBODY'S MARKED IN REVELATION
- THOSE THAT HAVE THE LAW OF GOD
00:17:29.40\00:17:33.06
- THE NEW
COVENANT - IN THEIR HEARTS.
00:17:33.06\00:17:35.00
THAT WOULD, OF COURSE, INCLUDE
THAT COMMANDMENT THAT SAYS, 'BE
00:17:35.00\00:17:39.76
HOLY' - WHICH YOU ONLY
FIND IN THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT.
00:17:39.76\00:17:45.36
IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE LAW OF
GOD, YOU'VE GOT THE LAW OF THE
00:17:45.36\00:17:47.40
BEAST, RIGHT? THERE'S ONLY
TWO GROUPS IN THE LAST DAYS.
00:17:47.40\00:17:50.90
AND SO, WHEN IT SAYS 'IN THE
HAND AND THE FOREHEAD' IT'S NOT
00:17:50.90\00:17:53.53
TALKING ABOUT A TATTOO NO MORE
THAN IT MEANS THAT GOD IS GOING
00:17:53.53\00:17:56.70
TO TATTOO THE SEAL OF
GOD IN PEOPLE'S FOREHEADS.
00:17:56.70\00:17:59.43
IT'S A SYMBOL OF WHO
YOU WORSHIP AND YOUR WORKS.
00:17:59.43\00:18:03.20
SO SOLOMON'S TALKING ABOUT THESE
KIND OF METAPHORS, WHEN YOU -
00:18:03.20\00:18:11.50
NOT ONLY DO THE JEWS HAVE -
THEY HAVE THE SCRIPTURES ON THE
00:18:11.50\00:18:15.63
PHYLACTERIES ON THEIR FOREHEAD
AND THEIR HANDS, ARE THERE
00:18:15.63\00:18:19.83
CHURCHES, BOTH MUSLIM AND
CATHOLIC, THAT PRAY WITH BEADS?
00:18:19.83\00:18:25.16
JUST ALL THESE OUTWARD SYMBOLS
AND DO SOME CHRISTIANS WEAR
00:18:25.16\00:18:28.60
CROSSES? NOW SOME MIGHT DO IT
ORNAMENTALLY OR AS AN ACCESSORY
00:18:28.60\00:18:35.10
TO THEIR DRESS, BUT I THINK
WE'VE ALL KNOWN THAT THAT CROSS
00:18:35.10\00:18:38.46
HOLDS SOME KIND OF ALMOST
SUPERNATURAL SIGNIFICANCE OR
00:18:38.46\00:18:41.26
GOOD LUCK, EVEN. I HAD
A FRIEND THAT HE DRANK AND
00:18:41.26\00:18:46.30
PARTIED AND I JUST - HE - YOU
KNOW, THIS IS BACK BEFORE I WAS
00:18:46.30\00:18:49.66
A CHRISTIAN AND I GOT IN HIS
CAR ONE DAY AND HE HAD A CROSS
00:18:49.66\00:18:51.63
HANGING FROM HIS MIRROR. I
SAID, 'RICK, I DIDN'T KNOW YOU
00:18:51.63\00:18:54.33
WERE A CHRISTIAN.' HE SAID, 'I'M
NOT. THAT'S SO I'LL BE SAFE WHEN
00:18:54.33\00:18:57.43
I'M DRIVING.' IT'S LIKE
IT WAS A GOOD LUCK CHARM.
00:18:57.43\00:19:00.93
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE IN OUR
CULTURE ARE TRAINED IF YOU RUN
00:19:00.93\00:19:03.73
INTO VAMPIRES HOLD UP A CROSS.
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO BE A
00:19:03.73\00:19:05.66
BELIEVER. IT'S
CONSIDERED - AND SO, THIS
00:19:05.66\00:19:09.40
IS NOT WHAT
SOLOMON IS TALKING ABOUT.
00:19:09.40\00:19:11.00
HE'S USING THESE AS SYMBOLS FOR
JUST HAVING THE WORD OF GOD AND
00:19:11.00\00:19:14.03
THE LAW OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE.
ALRIGHT, NOW SOMEBODY'S GOT
00:19:14.03\00:19:18.56
ROMANS 7:7 - WHO - WE'LL HAVE
YOU READ THAT IN JUST A SECOND.
00:19:18.56\00:19:23.33
I'VE GOT ONE MORE VERSE HERE,
PROVERBS 3:3, "LET NOT MERCY AND
00:19:23.33\00:19:27.90
TRUTH FORSAKE YOU; BIND THEM
AROUND YOUR NECK, WRITE THEM ON
00:19:27.90\00:19:31.66
THE TABLET OF YOUR HEART."
00:19:31.66\00:19:33.63
THERE YOU HAVE THOSE
SAME METAPHORS AGAIN.
00:19:33.63\00:19:36.20
SO WE'RE TO SURROUND OURSELVES
WITH THE WORD OF GOD AND JUST
00:19:36.20\00:19:39.93
KEEP IT EVER PRESENT AS
A PRIORITY IN OUR LIVES.
00:19:39.93\00:19:42.56
THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID,
'SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD.'
00:19:42.56\00:19:45.30
ALRIGHT, GO AHEAD.
PLEASE READ FOR US ROMANS 7:7.
00:19:45.30\00:19:49.23
>>ROMANS 7:7, "WHAT SHALL
WE SAY THEN? IS THE LAW SIN?
00:19:49.23\00:19:54.13
CERTAINLY NOT! ON
THE CONTRARY, I WOULD NOT
00:19:54.13\00:19:57.30
HAVE KNOWN SIN
EXCEPT THROUGH THE LAW.
00:19:57.30\00:19:59.63
FOR I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN
COVETOUSNESS UNLESS THE LAW HAD
00:19:59.63\00:20:02.43
SAID, 'YOU SHALL NOT COVET.'"
>>NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE
00:20:02.43\00:20:06.06
AS WE TIE OFF THIS SECTION
IN PROVERBS - THIS IS OUR FIRST
00:20:06.06\00:20:10.63
STUDY - WE JUST WANT TO MAKE IT
CLEAR THAT WE'RE NOT SAYING THAT
00:20:10.63\00:20:14.96
WE'RE SAVED BY THE LAW, BUT
HAVING THE LAW AROUND US AS A
00:20:14.96\00:20:18.86
REMINDER - IT'S LIKE THAT MIRROR
THAT JAMES REFERRED TO THAT WE
00:20:18.86\00:20:23.76
LOOK INTO THAT LEADS US INTO
THE TRUTH AND HELPS US BE AWARE.
00:20:23.76\00:20:29.83
SOMETIMES CONVICTION IS A
HEALTHY THING AND, YOU KNOW,
00:20:29.83\00:20:37.00
IT'S HARD TO LITTER RIGHT IN
FRONT OF A SIGN THAT SAYS, 'DO
00:20:37.00\00:20:39.40
NOT LITTER.' SO EVEN THOUGH
THE BEST THING WOULD BE NOT TO
00:20:39.40\00:20:43.53
LITTER ANYWHERE, HAVING
THOSE SIGNS AROUND US ARE GOOD
00:20:43.53\00:20:47.36
REMINDERS. ALRIGHT,
MOVING ON TO MONDAY.
00:20:47.36\00:20:51.16
AND HERE - BY THE WAY, DURING
THIS LESSON, OUR MISSION IS
00:20:51.16\00:20:54.10
WE'RE GOING TO BE GOING FROM
PROVERBS 6:21 AND, GOD WILLING,
00:20:54.10\00:20:59.50
WE'RE GOING TO GET THROUGH
PROVERBS 7:27 SO THAT'S KIND OF
00:20:59.50\00:21:02.80
THE SECTION OF VERSES
WE'RE GOING TO HOPE TO COVER.
00:21:02.80\00:21:05.73
ALRIGHT, PROVERBS 6:23, "FOR THE
COMMANDMENT IS A LAMP, AND THE
00:21:05.73\00:21:10.70
LAW A LIGHT; REPROOFS OF
INSTRUCTION ARE THE WAY OF
00:21:10.70\00:21:14.83
LIFE," - HERE SOLOMON, AGAIN,
IS EMPLOYING ANOTHER METAPHOR OF
00:21:14.83\00:21:20.46
HOW THE LAW OF GOD IS A LIGHT.
WHAT COULD BE A BETTER SYMBOL?
00:21:20.46\00:21:27.80
IS JESUS SOMETIMES
REFERRED TO AS A LIGHT?
00:21:27.80\00:21:30.93
THERE WERE THREE PIECES OF
FURNITURE IN THE SANCTUARY, WHAT
00:21:30.93\00:21:34.70
WERE THEY?
>>TABLE OF SHOW BREAD.
00:21:34.70\00:21:36.90
LAMPSTAND. >>YEAH.
00:21:36.90\00:21:40.10
THAT LAMP - LIGHT - THE BIBLE
TELLS US JESUS SAID, 'I AM THE
00:21:40.10\00:21:46.33
LIGHT OF WORLD.' BUT
YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE HE SAID?
00:21:46.33\00:21:48.30
'YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD'
- AS WE REFLECT HIS LIGHT.
00:21:48.30\00:21:52.33
AND SO WITHOUT LIGHT,
WHAT DO YOU HAVE? DARKNESS.
00:21:52.33\00:21:57.46
CAN DARKNESS PUT OUT LIGHT?
YOU KNOW, YOU CAN NEVER REALLY
00:21:57.46\00:22:02.60
TURN UP DARKNESS? THE
ONLY WAY DARKNESS INCREASES
00:22:02.60\00:22:06.40
IS BECAUSE LIGHT FAILS.
AND THE ONLY REASON THAT
00:22:06.40\00:22:09.90
DARKNESS INCREASES IN THE WORLD
IS BECAUSE THE LIGHT AND THE
00:22:09.90\00:22:14.46
SALT THAT WE'RE
SUPPOSED TO BE IS FAILING?
00:22:14.46\00:22:17.10
AND SO HE SAYS KEEPING THE
LAW BEFORE PEOPLE, THIS IS WHAT
00:22:17.10\00:22:21.16
BRINGS THE LIGHT
INTO THEIR LIVES.
00:22:21.16\00:22:23.43
HE GIVES US ANOTHER ONE, PSALM
- AND THIS IS, OF COURSE, FROM
00:22:23.43\00:22:27.26
DAVID, WHICH PROBABLY INFLUENCED
WHAT SOLOMON WROTE - PSALM
00:22:27.26\00:22:31.20
119:105 - WE ALL KNOW THIS,
"YOUR WORD IS A LAMP TO MY FEET
00:22:31.20\00:22:37.00
AND A LIGHT TO MY PATH."
PSALM 119 - WHAT'S THE PRINCIPLE
00:22:37.00\00:22:40.30
MESSAGE IN THAT CHAPTER - THE
LONGEST CHAPTER IN THE BIBLE?
00:22:40.30\00:22:43.76
THE LAW. YEAH,
IT'S THE WORD OF GOD.
00:22:43.76\00:22:47.60
THERE'S PROBABLY MORE REFERENCES
TO THE LAW OF GOD IN PSALMS 119
00:22:47.60\00:22:51.66
- SOMEDAY I'D LIKE TO PREACH
JUST ON PSALM 119, BUT YOU'D
00:22:51.66\00:22:54.43
ALMOST NEED TO MAKE LIKE A
THREE-WEEK SERIES OR SOMETHING
00:22:54.43\00:22:57.00
BECAUSE IT'S GOT A
LOT OF VERSES IN IT.
00:22:57.00\00:22:59.70
BUT SO HE'S NOT ONLY SAYING,
'THY WORD IS A LAMP, EVERYTHING
00:22:59.70\00:23:03.43
DAVID SAYS AROUND THAT VERSE IS
TALKING ABOUT THE LAW OF GOD, IT
00:23:03.43\00:23:06.70
ILLUMINATES OUR FEET.
IT'S A LIGHT TO MY PATH.
00:23:06.70\00:23:11.13
PROVERBS 7:2, "KEEP MY COMMANDS
AND LIVE, AND MY LAW AS THE
00:23:11.13\00:23:17.83
APPLE OF YOUR EYE." THE
APPLE OF YOUR EYE - IT'S
00:23:17.83\00:23:20.43
TALKING ABOUT SOMETHING -
I THINK IT'S JUST - SOMETIMES
00:23:20.43\00:23:24.06
THAT'S TRANSLATED 'THE PUPIL
OF YOUR EYE.' IT'S TALKING ABOUT
00:23:24.06\00:23:26.70
JUST AS THE MIDDLE -
THE FOCUS OF YOUR EYE.
00:23:26.70\00:23:29.30
YOU GO TO THE EYE DOCTOR AND YOU
HAVE AN EXAM, ONE OF THE THINGS
00:23:29.30\00:23:31.90
THEY'LL DO IS THEY'LL SAY, 'LOOK
AT THAT DOT.' AND THEN THEY'LL
00:23:31.90\00:23:33.73
TAKE THIS LIGHT AND GO OVER
HERE AND YOU WANT TO LOOK AND HE
00:23:33.73\00:23:35.33
SAYS, 'NO, I DIDN'T SAY LOOK
OVER HERE.' HE SAYS, 'I WANT YOU
00:23:35.33\00:23:36.86
TO LOOK AT THE DOT.' I SAID,
'WHY DO YOU WANT IT OVER HERE?'
00:23:36.86\00:23:38.96
HE SAID, 'I WAS CHECKING YOUR
PERIPHERAL VISION.' AND HE'LL
00:23:38.96\00:23:41.90
TAKE - AND THEY'LL WAVE A PEN
OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND SAY,
00:23:41.90\00:23:44.70
'TELL ME, CAN YOU SEE IT?
CAN YOU SEE IT? CAN YOU SEE IT?'
00:23:44.70\00:23:47.90
AND AT SOME POINT OUT HERE - I
CAN SEE RIGHT NOW - I CAN'T SEE
00:23:47.90\00:23:52.10
WITH MY LEFT EYE BECAUSE MY NOSE
IS IN THE WAY, BUT WITH MY RIGHT
00:23:52.10\00:23:54.56
EYE I CAN. BUT
THAT'S YOUR PERIPHERY.
00:23:54.56\00:24:01.90
WHEN IT COMES TO THE LAW,
IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE
00:24:01.90\00:24:04.43
PERIPHERY, IT'S SUPPOSED TO
BE IN THE APPLE OF YOUR EYE.
00:24:04.43\00:24:07.83
IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A CENTRAL
POINT OF FOCUS IN YOUR LIFE AND
00:24:07.83\00:24:11.40
- THAT'S GUIDING YOU. IT'S YOUR
- IT'S THE CORE OF YOUR WORLD
00:24:11.40\00:24:16.73
VIEW THAT CALIBRATES ALL
OF YOUR DECISIONS, IS HAVING
00:24:16.73\00:24:22.13
THAT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE.
AND GO AHEAD, READ FOR US PSALM
00:24:22.13\00:24:25.93
19:8. >>"...THE
COMMANDMENT OF THE
00:24:25.93\00:24:29.36
LORD IS PURE,
ENLIGHTENING THE EYES;"
00:24:29.36\00:24:32.46
>>SO HERE IT'S KEEPING THE
LAW BEFORE YOU AS THE APPLE
00:24:32.46\00:24:36.80
OF YOUR EYE, BUT IT EVEN
TELLS US THAT THE LAW ITSELF
00:24:36.80\00:24:39.93
ENLIGHTENS OUR EYES. IT HAS
AN ILLUMINATING PROPERTY TO IT.
00:24:39.93\00:24:45.70
2 PETER 1:19 AND IT SAYS, "AND
SO WE HAVE THE PROPHETIC WORD
00:24:45.70\00:24:53.00
CONFIRMED, WHICH YOU DO WELL TO
HEED AS A LIGHT THAT SHINES IN A
00:24:53.00\00:24:57.83
DARK PLACE, UNTIL THE DAY DAWNS
AND THE MORNING STAR RISES IN
00:24:57.83\00:25:03.30
YOUR HEARTS;" HERE
HE'S TALKING ABOUT JUST A
00:25:03.30\00:25:05.80
LIGHT THAT KEEPS
GETTING BRIGHTER.
00:25:05.80\00:25:07.96
SO AS WE FOCUS ON THE LAW,
DO YOU EVER REACH THE BOTTOM?
00:25:07.96\00:25:11.66
IF A PERSON IS TO STUDY THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS FOR A YEAR - I KNOW
00:25:11.66\00:25:17.80
IT SEEMS - IT'S ONLY ABOUT THREE
HUNDRED WORDS - ABOUT THE LENGTH
00:25:17.80\00:25:20.36
OF THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS -
IF YOU WERE TO STUDY THE TEN
00:25:20.36\00:25:24.30
COMMANDMENTS FOR A YEAR, COULD
YOU EVER GET TO THE PLACE WHERE
00:25:24.30\00:25:26.96
YOU SAY, 'I'VE FINALLY PLUMBED
THE DEPTHS OF GOD'S LAW?'
00:25:26.96\00:25:32.00
THERE'S - YOU KNOW, I DID A
SERIES JUST LAST YEAR, ON THE
00:25:32.00\00:25:35.50
TEN COMMANDMENTS, AND I KEPT
FINDING ALL OF THESE THINGS I
00:25:35.50\00:25:39.80
WISHED I HAD SAID. I
COULD HAVE GONE WEEKS ON ANY
00:25:39.80\00:25:42.60
ONE COMMANDMENT BECAUSE I KEPT
FINDING MORE AND MORE AND I'D
00:25:42.60\00:25:45.06
SAY, 'OH I LEFT THIS OUT.' AND
'I LEFT THAT OUT.' AND THERE WAS
00:25:45.06\00:25:46.66
SO MUCH, EVERY TIME YOU'D READ
IT YOU'D SAY, 'HOW DID I MISS
00:25:46.66\00:25:48.56
THAT?' AND IT JUST - IT'S SO
DEEP AND IT ENLIGHTENS YOUR EYES
00:25:48.56\00:25:53.13
AND IT GUIDES YOU. YOU
KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS IS
00:25:53.13\00:25:56.60
WHEN YOU JUST STUDY THE LAW OF
GOD, IT SEEMS SO SIMPLE, BUT THE
00:25:56.60\00:26:01.80
LONGER YOU LOOK AT IT, YOU
REALIZE IT IS A SUPERNATURAL
00:26:01.80\00:26:05.06
GENIUS IN THE WORDING AND THE
ORGANIZATION AND ALL THE LITTLE
00:26:05.06\00:26:10.26
NUANCES OF WHAT'S IN JUST THE
TEN COMMANDMENTS AND, OF COURSE,
00:26:10.26\00:26:13.63
THE LAW OF GOD
IS BIGGER THAN THAT.
00:26:13.63\00:26:15.50
NOW, WHILE WE'RE STILL TALKING
ABOUT THAT SUBJECT, LET ME JUMP
00:26:15.50\00:26:20.56
TO THE NEW TESTAMENT AND JESUS
HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THIS.
00:26:20.56\00:26:24.76
IF WE LOOK IN MATTHEW CHAPTER
5, VERSE 17 - AND I THINK IT'S
00:26:24.76\00:26:31.83
IMPORTANT JUST TO PAUSE - WE
HAVE, MOST OF US HERE BELIEVE
00:26:31.83\00:26:36.80
THAT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
ARE ETERNAL. THEY DON'T CHANGE.
00:26:36.80\00:26:40.83
THEY'VE NOT BEEN ABROGATED
BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF
00:26:40.83\00:26:43.10
CHRISTIANS - IT JUST ALWAYS
SHOCKS ME TO THINK IT AND SAY IT
00:26:43.10\00:26:45.40
- THERE ARE A LOT OF CHRISTIANS
OUT THERE THAT SOMEHOW THINK
00:26:45.40\00:26:48.40
THAT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS -
JESUS CAME TO FULFILL THEM AND
00:26:48.40\00:26:54.86
WHAT'S MEANT BY THAT
IS TO DO AWAY WITH THEM.
00:26:54.86\00:26:57.90
AND WHEN YOU REALLY DRILL DOWN
AND ASK A PERSON 'WHAT DO YOU
00:26:57.90\00:27:01.36
MEAN BY THAT?' AND YOU SAY,
'DOES THAT MEAN, THEN, IS IT
00:27:01.36\00:27:05.46
OKAY FOR A CHRISTIAN TO LIE?'
THEY SAY, 'NO, NO, OF COURSE
00:27:05.46\00:27:09.63
NOT.' CHRISTIANS SHOULD BE
EVEN MORE CAREFUL ABOUT THAT.
00:27:09.63\00:27:13.60
IS IT OKAY FOR A CHRISTIAN TO
STEAL OR TO COMMIT ADULTERY OR
00:27:13.60\00:27:18.40
IS IT OKAY FOR A CHRISTIAN
TO USE GOD'S NAME IN VAIN?
00:27:18.40\00:27:22.10
THEY'LL SAY, 'OH NO, NO, NO, NO,
NO, IF YOU'VE GOT THE LOVE AND
00:27:22.10\00:27:24.10
THE SPIRIT WE DON'T NEED THE
LETTER OF THE LAW, WE JUST NEED
00:27:24.10\00:27:26.83
THE SPIRIT OF THE LAW.' BUT,
IN REALITY, THE WHOLE THEOLOGY
00:27:26.83\00:27:31.70
ABOUT ELIMINATING THE LAW OF GOD
IS USUALLY BECAUSE THERE'S ONE
00:27:31.70\00:27:35.23
COMMANDMENT, IN PARTICULAR,
THAT IS ANNOYING. IT'S TRUE.
00:27:35.23\00:27:40.06
NOBODY - YOU GO BACK FIFTY YEARS
AGO, I CAN SHOW YOU BILLY GRAHAM
00:27:40.06\00:27:43.96
SERMONS AND A LOT OF SERMONS
FROM SUNDAY PASTORS AND THEY ALL
00:27:43.96\00:27:47.36
ARE TALKING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE
OF KEEPING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
00:27:47.36\00:27:50.40
AND THEY USED TO BE ON THE WALLS
IN ALL THE CHURCHES AND A NEW
00:27:50.40\00:27:53.20
THEOLOGY STARTED TO COME IN
BASICALLY SAYING, BECAUSE OF
00:27:53.20\00:27:58.23
SOME VERSES IN GALATIANS AND A
COUPLE OF OTHER PLACES THAT, YOU
00:27:58.23\00:28:01.06
KNOW, 'WE DON'T HAVE TO KEEP
THE LAW ANYMORE.' AND PAUL IS
00:28:01.06\00:28:05.33
USUALLY TALKING THERE ABOUT
CEREMONIAL LAWS. OR EVEN THOSE
00:28:05.33\00:28:08.53
WHO THINK WE'RE SAVED BY THE
LAW, WHICH WE'RE NOT. BUT WHAT
00:28:08.53\00:28:10.96
DID JESUS SAY IN MATTHEW CHAPTER
5, VERSE 17? "DO NOT THINK" -
00:28:10.96\00:28:15.73
NOW WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
SIMPLY, DON'T THINK THIS.
00:28:15.73\00:28:20.80
- "DO NOT THINK THAT I CAME TO
DESTROY THE LAW OR THE PROPHETS.
00:28:20.80\00:28:25.20
I DID NOT COME TO
DESTROY BUT TO FULFILL."
00:28:25.20\00:28:28.96
NOW IF FULFILL MEANS 'DO AWAY
WITH' - AS SOME PEOPLE INTERPRET
00:28:28.96\00:28:34.63
THAT - THAT WOULD MEAN JESUS IS
SAYING, 'DON'T THINK I CAME TO
00:28:34.63\00:28:38.10
DESTROY THE LAW, I DID NOT COME
TO DESTROY IT BUT TO DO AWAY
00:28:38.10\00:28:40.90
WITH IT.' WOULD
THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? NO.
00:28:40.90\00:28:45.26
FULFILL MEANS TO FILL FULL
- KEEP IT - TO SHOW US HOW TO
00:28:45.26\00:28:48.73
KEEP IT - TO LIVE
IT OUT IN HIS LIFE.
00:28:48.73\00:28:51.00
NOT SO WE DON'T HAVE
TO, BUT AS AN EXAMPLE.
00:28:51.00\00:28:53.30
THE BIBLE SAYS HE'S WALKED THAT
WE SHOULD WALK IN HIS STEPS.
00:28:53.30\00:28:56.43
"FOR ASSUREDLY, I SAY TO YOU,
TILL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS AWAY,
00:28:56.43\00:29:01.40
ONE JOT OR ONE TITTLE WILL BY
NO MEANS PASS FROM THE LAW" - HE
00:29:01.40\00:29:06.46
DIDN'T SAY 'UNTIL I DIE ON THE
CROSS.' HE SAID, "TILL ALL IS
00:29:06.46\00:29:10.26
FULFILLED." WHAT HE
MEANS BY THAT IS 'ALL IS
00:29:10.26\00:29:13.26
KEPT.' IT'S ETERNAL IN NATURE.
THEN HE GOES ON LEST THERE'S
00:29:13.26\00:29:17.53
SOME WHO STILL
MAY MISUNDERSTAND.
00:29:17.53\00:29:19.73
JESUS NOW IS IN VERSE 19
- MATTHEW 5:19 - "WHOEVER
00:29:19.73\00:29:23.03
THEREFORE BREAKS ONE OF THE
LEAST OF THESE COMMANDMENTS, AND
00:29:23.03\00:29:26.03
TEACHES MEN SO, SHALL BE CALLED
LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN;
00:29:26.03\00:29:29.90
BUT WHOEVER DOES AND TEACHES
THEM, HE SHALL BE CALLED GREAT
00:29:29.90\00:29:33.60
IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN."
NOW, IF ANYONE MISUNDERSTANDS
00:29:33.60\00:29:39.70
EVEN THAT, HE SAYS IN VERSE 20,
"FOR I SAY TO YOU, THAT UNLESS
00:29:39.70\00:29:44.93
YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS EXCEEDS THE
RIGHTEOUSNESS OF THE SCRIBES AND
00:29:44.93\00:29:49.53
PHARISEES, YOU WILL BY NO MEANS
ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN."
00:29:49.53\00:29:53.26
NOW THEY WERE THE MOST
FASTIDIOUS, LEGALISTIC - GOD
00:29:53.26\00:29:57.56
ISN'T TELLING US WE SHOULD
BE EVEN MORE LEGALISTIC THAN THE
00:29:57.56\00:30:00.16
PHARISEES, HE'S SAYING,
'YOU NEED A HIGHER QUALITY OF
00:30:00.16\00:30:02.83
RIGHTEOUSNESS THAN THE SCRIBES
AND THE PHARISEES.' THEY WOULD
00:30:02.83\00:30:06.23
SAY IT BUT THEY WOULDN'T DO IT.
JESUS SAID, 'YOU'LL BIND BURDENS
00:30:06.23\00:30:10.46
ON MEN THAT YOU WON'T
LIFT WITH ONE OF YOUR FINGERS.'
00:30:10.46\00:30:13.23
HE CALLED THEM HYPOCRITES. THEY
PRAYED LONG PRAYERS THEN THEY
00:30:13.23\00:30:16.23
ROBBED WIDOWS' HOUSES. HE
SAID, 'YOU NEED THE KIND OF
00:30:16.23\00:30:18.93
RIGHTEOUSNESS WHERE YOU'RE NOT
JUST SAYING, 'LORD, LORD' BUT
00:30:18.93\00:30:20.96
YOU'RE DOING IT IN YOUR LIFE.'
- YOU'RE LIVING OUT THE LAW OF
00:30:20.96\00:30:24.53
THE LORD, WHICH IS ALL
SUMMARIZED, REALLY, IN LOVE.
00:30:24.53\00:30:27.60
AND THEN HE GOES ON AND SAYS IN
VERSE 21, "YOU HAVE HEARD THAT
00:30:27.60\00:30:31.13
IT WAS SAID TO THOSE OF
OLD, 'YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, AND
00:30:31.13\00:30:34.23
WHOEVER MURDERS WILL BE IN
DANGER OF THE JUDGMENT.' BUT I
00:30:34.23\00:30:37.60
SAY TO YOU THAT WHOEVER IS ANGRY
WITH HIS BROTHER WITHOUT A CAUSE
00:30:37.60\00:30:41.20
SHALL BE IN DANGER OF THE
JUDGMENT. AND WHOEVER SAYS TO
00:30:41.20\00:30:43.16
HIS BROTHER, 'RACA!' SHALL
BE IN DANGER OF THE COUNCIL. BUT
00:30:43.16\00:30:46.36
WHOEVER SAYS, 'YOU FOOL!' SHALL
BE IN DANGER OF HELL FIRE."
00:30:46.36\00:30:48.63
SO JESUS SAID, 'YOU'VE HEARD IT
SAID BY THEM OF OLD, 'YOU'LL NOT
00:30:48.63\00:30:51.46
COMMIT MURDER.'' NOW, THAT'S
A VERY IMPORTANT VERSE FOR A
00:30:51.46\00:30:54.53
COUPLE OF REASONS: 1)
WHAT DOES THAT COMMANDMENT SAY?
00:30:54.53\00:30:58.90
'THOU SHALL NOT KILL.' JESUS
SAYS IT'S REALLY MORE ACCURATE,
00:30:58.90\00:31:01.86
'THOU SHALL NOT MURDER.' BECAUSE
EVERY TIME YOU STEP ON A BUG YOU
00:31:01.86\00:31:06.36
KILL. YOU'RE NOT BREAKING THE
LAW OF GOD. IT'S SAYING, 'DON'T
00:31:06.36\00:31:09.86
MURDER.' IT'S TALKING ABOUT
TAKING INNOCENT HUMAN LIFE.
00:31:09.86\00:31:12.66
IT'S NOT TALKING ABOUT SOLDIERS
THAT GO TO DEFEND THE COUNTRY,
00:31:12.66\00:31:15.20
IT'S TALKING ABOUT
PEOPLE WHO ARE WRONGFULLY TAKING
00:31:15.20\00:31:19.23
INNOCENT LIFE.
00:31:19.23\00:31:20.53
SO AFTER HE QUOTES FROM THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS, DOES HE SAY YOU
00:31:20.53\00:31:24.00
DON'T HAVE TO KEEP THAT
COMMANDMENT ANYMORE AS LONG AS
00:31:24.00\00:31:26.70
YOU'RE NOT ANGRY WITH
YOUR BROTHER IN YOUR HEART?
00:31:26.70\00:31:29.33
OR IS IT OBVIOUS THAT THE BARE
MINIMUM IS YOU DON'T MURDER, BUT
00:31:29.33\00:31:33.50
HE'S SAYING IT GOES BEYOND THAT
SO YOU NEED TO BE KEEPING IT IN
00:31:33.50\00:31:36.96
YOUR HEART. AND THIS IS
WHAT SOLOMON IS TALKING ABOUT.
00:31:36.96\00:31:40.46
THE LAW OF GOD NEEDS TO
BE AT THE CORE OF OUR LIVES -
00:31:40.46\00:31:43.30
IN YOUR HEART. SO
IT'S NOT JUST ACTIONS.
00:31:43.30\00:31:45.90
THEN HE TALKS ABOUT ADULTERY,
"YOU HAVE HEARD THAT IT WAS SAID
00:31:45.90\00:31:47.70
TO THOSE OF OLD, 'YOU SHALL NOT
COMMIT ADULTERY.' BUT I SAY TO
00:31:47.70\00:31:50.00
YOU THAT WHOEVER LOOKS AT A
WOMAN" - AND IT WORKS BOTH WAYS
00:31:50.00\00:31:54.03
- WITH LUST IN YOUR HEART, YOU
CAN BE BREAKING THE COMMANDMENT
00:31:54.03\00:31:57.10
THAT WAY - NOT JUST
ACTIONS, IT'S ATTITUDES AS WELL.
00:31:57.10\00:32:01.56
AND THEN YOU LOOK IN MATTHEW
19:17 - A YOUNG MAN CAME TO
00:32:01.56\00:32:11.80
JESUS AND SAID, "'GOOD MASTER,
WHAT GOOD THING SHALL I DO THAT
00:32:11.80\00:32:14.16
I MAY HAVE ETERNAL LIFE?'
SO HE SAID TO HIM, 'WHY DO YOU
00:32:14.16\00:32:17.80
CALL ME GOOD? NO ONE IS
GOOD BUT ONE, THAT IS, GOD.
00:32:17.80\00:32:22.03
BUT IF YOU WANT TO
ENTER INTO LIFE,'" - DO WHAT?
00:32:22.03\00:32:26.83
>>KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS.
>>"KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS."
00:32:26.83\00:32:28.80
AND THEN HE WENT ON
AND HE SAID, "WHICH ONES?"
00:32:28.80\00:32:31.46
AND JESUS QUOTES
FROM THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.
00:32:31.46\00:32:34.10
SO WAS CHRIST SAYING THAT
ONCE HE DIED ON THE CROSS THAT
00:32:34.10\00:32:38.46
OBSERVING THE TEN
COMMANDMENTS WAS NOT NECESSARY?
00:32:38.46\00:32:41.36
NO, OF COURSE NOT,
IT'S STILL THE SAME.
00:32:41.36\00:32:43.56
THE REASON I'M SAYING ALL THIS
IS BECAUSE I'M GOING TO GREAT
00:32:43.56\00:32:47.06
LENGTHS TO TRY TO REINFORCE
THE TRUTH BECAUSE YOU CAN'T
00:32:47.06\00:32:51.70
UNDERSTAND WHAT SOLOMON IS
SAYING WHEN SOLOMON IS TALKING
00:32:51.70\00:32:54.10
ABOUT THE LAW - KEEPING IT IN
YOUR HEART, KEEPING IT IN YOUR
00:32:54.10\00:32:56.33
MIND, TIE IT AROUND YOUR HEAD,
PUT IT AROUND YOUR NECK, IT'LL
00:32:56.33\00:32:59.26
BE AS THE APPLE OF YOUR EYE
- HE USES ALL THESE METAPHORS.
00:32:59.26\00:33:03.23
AND THEN YOU JUMP TO THE
NEW TESTAMENT CHURCHES THAT SAY,
00:33:03.23\00:33:06.26
'BUT ONCE JESUS DIED ON THE
CROSS, YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY
00:33:06.26\00:33:08.63
ABOUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.'
WHAT DOES THAT DO TO EVERYTHING
00:33:08.63\00:33:10.50
SOLOMON SAYS ABOUT THE LAW?
OF COURSE IT'S STILL INTACT.
00:33:10.50\00:33:15.90
THE SAME THING THAT GOD SAID TO
DAVID, 'KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS,'
00:33:15.90\00:33:19.46
THAT DAVID SAID TO HIS SON,
'KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD,'
00:33:19.46\00:33:23.30
SOLOMON IS SAYING TO
US AND JESUS REITERATES.
00:33:23.30\00:33:27.63
BY THE WAY, JESUS IS THE SON OF
DAVID, LIKE SOLOMON, WHO WAS A
00:33:27.63\00:33:32.23
TYPE OF - SOLOMON
WAS A TYPE OF CHRIST.
00:33:32.23\00:33:35.03
ALRIGHT, REVELATION
CHAPTER 14, VERSE 12.
00:33:35.03\00:33:39.30
NOW THESE ARE ALL IN - THEY'RE
STILL IN MONDAY'S SECTION HERE.
00:33:39.30\00:33:43.00
"HERE IS THE PATIENCE OF THE
SAINTS; HERE ARE THOSE WHO KEEP
00:33:43.00\00:33:46.83
THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD
AND THE FAITH OF JESUS."
00:33:46.83\00:33:49.93
THEN, OF COURSE, I BET MOST OF
YOU HERE COULD QUOTE REVELATION
00:33:49.93\00:33:52.53
CHAPTER 12, VERSE
17, "THE DRAGON WAS" -
00:33:52.53\00:33:56.93
>>WROTH WITH THE WOMAN.
00:33:56.93\00:33:58.26
>>"WROTH WITH THE WOMAN AND WENT
TO MAKE WAR WITH THE REMNANT OF
00:33:58.26\00:34:02.40
HER SEED THAT" -
>>KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS.
00:34:02.40\00:34:04.10
>>"KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS
OF GOD, AND HAVE THE" -
00:34:04.10\00:34:06.10
>>TESTIMONY.
>>"TESTIMONY OF JESUS."
00:34:06.10\00:34:08.40
AND THEN REVELATION CHAPTER 22,
"BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO DO HIS
00:34:08.40\00:34:13.06
COMMANDMENTS, THAT THEY MIGHT
HAVE THE RIGHT TO THE TREE OF
00:34:13.06\00:34:16.46
LIFE, AND MAY ENTER
THROUGH THE GATES OF THE CITY."
00:34:16.46\00:34:18.86
AND SO WHAT'S SEPARATING THOSE
WHO HAVE THE MARK OF THE BEAST
00:34:18.86\00:34:22.36
FROM THOSE WHO HAVE THE SEAL OF
GOD IS YOU'VE GOT THIS ONE GROUP
00:34:22.36\00:34:25.96
THAT'S IDENTIFIED AS THE ONES
WHO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF
00:34:25.96\00:34:28.10
GOD. WE DON'T DO IT TO BE SAVED,
WE DO IT BECAUSE IT'S IN YOUR
00:34:28.10\00:34:32.50
HEART, AS SOLOMON
SAID IN SEVERAL VERSES.
00:34:32.50\00:34:35.30
JOHN 8:12 - JESUS SAID,
"I AM THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
00:34:35.30\00:34:40.50
HE WHO FOLLOWS ME SHALL NOT WALK
IN DARKNESS, BUT HAVE THE LIGHT
00:34:40.50\00:34:44.43
OF LIFE." SO WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT THAT LIGHT AND THAT LIFE.
00:34:44.43\00:34:47.73
SO YOU'VE GOT LIFE ON ONE HAND,
WHICH IS ONE OF THE POINTS IN
00:34:47.73\00:34:51.06
OUR LESSON, AND THE OPPOSITE OF
LIFE IS DEATH. YOU CAN HAVE THE
00:34:51.06\00:34:56.06
LIGHT AND THE LIFE OR
THE DEATH AND THE DARKNESS.
00:34:56.06\00:34:59.26
GOD'S LAW - WHAT'S THE LAST
THING MOSES SAID - ALMOST LAST
00:34:59.26\00:35:02.53
THING HE SAID BEFORE HE
CLIMBED THE MOUNTAIN AND DIED?
00:35:02.53\00:35:06.00
'HEAR O ISRAEL, I HAVE SET
BEFORE YOU TWO OPTIONS AND THAT
00:35:06.00\00:35:10.80
I COMMAND YOU TO
LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD.
00:35:10.80\00:35:13.13
IF YOU OBEY GOD' - IT SAYS
- 'YOU'LL BE BLESSED, IT'LL BE
00:35:13.13\00:35:17.53
GOOD, AND IT'S
FOR YOUR BLESSING.
00:35:17.53\00:35:20.86
YOU DISOBEY, YOU DIE.' HE SAID,
'I SET BEFORE YOU THIS DAY, LIFE
00:35:20.86\00:35:24.96
AND GOOD AND BLESSING,
DEATH AND EVIL AND CURSING.' -
00:35:24.96\00:35:28.10
TWO CHOICES. AND
SO HE SAYS THAT IN THE
00:35:28.10\00:35:31.40
CONTEXT OF OBEYING GOD.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE HE SAYS?
00:35:31.40\00:35:34.30
'I COMMAND YOU THIS DAY
TO LOVE THE LORD AND KEEP HIS
00:35:34.30\00:35:37.36
COMMANDMENTS.' CAN YOU REALLY
KEEP THEM IF YOU DON'T LOVE
00:35:37.36\00:35:39.66
HIM? IT'S
IMPOSSIBLE TO BE KEEPING
00:35:39.66\00:35:43.86
THE LAW, IN ITS TRUEST
SENSE, IF YOU DON'T LOVE GOD.
00:35:43.86\00:35:46.63
BUT IF YOU'RE THINKING, 'WELL,
I DON'T LOVE GOD, SHOULD I STILL
00:35:46.63\00:35:52.60
KEEP HIS LAW ANYWAY?'
YEAH, YOU'LL BE BETTER OFF.
00:35:52.60\00:35:55.86
YOU SHOULD BE A CHEERFUL GIVER.
BUT LET'S SUPPOSE YOU'RE NOT
00:35:55.86\00:35:59.56
CHEERFUL. SHOULD YOU
STILL PAY YOUR TITHE?
00:35:59.56\00:36:02.10
YEAH, AND YOU'LL
STILL BE BLESSED.
00:36:02.10\00:36:05.30
YOU MAY NOT WANT TO HONOR YOUR
FATHER AND MOTHER - MAY NOT FEEL
00:36:05.30\00:36:08.70
LIKE IT - MIGHT NOT EVEN THINK
YOU LOVE THEM - BUT SHOULD YOU
00:36:08.70\00:36:11.70
HONOR THEM ANYWAY
BECAUSE GOD SAID SO?
00:36:11.70\00:36:13.43
>>YES. >>THAT'S RIGHT.
00:36:13.43\00:36:14.86
SO DO THE RIGHT
THING BECAUSE IT IS RIGHT.
00:36:14.86\00:36:17.00
BEST THING IS TO DO IT
BECAUSE YOU LOVE THE LORD, OKAY?
00:36:17.00\00:36:20.40
TUESDAY - 'FIGHTING TEMPTATION'
- NOW IF YOU GO TO PROVERBS 6:24
00:36:20.40\00:36:24.96
- MATTER OF FACT, WE'RE GOING TO
BE READING VERSES 24 THROUGH 29
00:36:24.96\00:36:27.96
BUT I'LL PAUSE HERE.
PROVERBS 6:24 - HE'S GOING ON.
00:36:27.96\00:36:33.03
HE SAYS, "TO KEEP YOU FROM
THE EVIL WOMAN," - SO ONE OF THE
00:36:33.03\00:36:35.76
THINGS HE'S SAYING - TYING THE
LAW OF GOD AROUND YOUR HEART -
00:36:35.76\00:36:39.83
"TO KEEP YOU FROM THE
EVIL WOMAN, FROM THE FLATTERING
00:36:39.83\00:36:42.93
TONGUE OF A SEDUCTRESS."
00:36:42.93\00:36:44.66
- NOW, WE TALKED ABOUT
THIS IN OUR LAST LESSON.
00:36:44.66\00:36:46.80
SOLOMON RETURNS TO THIS SUBJECT
SEVERAL TIMES THROUGH PROVERBS
00:36:46.80\00:36:51.83
AND HE WAS SOMETHING OF
AN EXPERT IN THIS CATEGORY.
00:36:51.83\00:36:57.13
I MEAN, IF YOU JUST READ THE
HISTORY OF SOLOMON, HE GOT IN
00:36:57.13\00:36:59.76
TROUBLE BECAUSE IT SAYS,
'SOLOMON LOVED MANY STRANGE
00:36:59.76\00:37:01.96
WOMEN.' THAT'S WHAT IT
SAYS. THAT MEANT FOREIGN WOMEN.
00:37:01.96\00:37:06.40
BUT - AND HIS WIVES LED
HIM AWAY AND HE GOT IN TROUBLE.
00:37:06.40\00:37:12.10
HE WAS REPROVED BY A PROPHET
FOR IT. BUT IT'S MORE THAN JUST
00:37:12.10\00:37:18.20
TALKING ABOUT TEMPTATION
TO INFIDELITY OR ADULTERY OR
00:37:18.20\00:37:25.76
FORNICATION, HERE THIS
WOMAN THAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT -
00:37:25.76\00:37:30.56
IT'S TEMPTATION. LIKE
YOU HAVE JEZEBEL - REMEMBER
00:37:30.56\00:37:38.53
WHEN JEHU CAME TO THE CITY?
SHE THOUGHT AHAB WAS DEAD - NOW
00:37:38.53\00:37:43.03
HER SON WAS DEAD AND SHE
THOUGHT, 'MY LAST CHANCE IS TO
00:37:43.03\00:37:45.16
SEDUCE HIM.' BUT I DON'T
KNOW THAT SHE REALIZED THAT SHE
00:37:45.16\00:37:49.50
TURNED INTO A GRANDMOTHER OVER
THE YEARS AND WHAT SHE WAS ABLE
00:37:49.50\00:37:52.53
TO ACHIEVE BEFORE WAS
NOT NEARLY AS EFFECTIVE.
00:37:52.53\00:37:55.13
BUT IT SAYS THAT SHE FIXED
UP HER HAIR AND PAINTED HER FACE
00:37:55.13\00:37:57.66
AND LOOKED OUT A WINDOW AND THEN
SHE BEGAN TO TRY TO RATIONALIZE
00:37:57.66\00:38:01.93
WITH JEHU AND JEHU ASKED
SOME EUNUCHS THAT WERE IN THE
00:38:01.93\00:38:05.50
BUILDING TO THROW
HER OUT THE WINDOW.
00:38:05.50\00:38:07.26
BUT THAT WOMAN IN REVELATION
17, SHE'S CALLED THE MOTHER OF -
00:38:07.26\00:38:10.83
>>HARLOTS. >>HARLOTS.
00:38:10.83\00:38:12.76
IS THAT TALKING
ABOUT PHYSICAL ADULTERY?
00:38:12.76\00:38:16.23
IT SAYS, 'WITH WHOM THE KINGDOMS
OF THE EARTH HAVE COMMITTED
00:38:16.23\00:38:17.63
FORNICATION.' OR IS IT TALKING
ABOUT COMPROMISING OF TRUTH?
00:38:17.63\00:38:21.93
WHEN WE FOLLOW THE FALSEHOODS
OF THE DEVIL, DOESN'T THE BIBLE
00:38:21.93\00:38:25.63
USE THE METAPHOR OF INFIDELITY?
WHEN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
00:38:25.63\00:38:29.33
WOULD PRAY TO IDOLS OF OTHER
GODS, GOD CALLED IT 'ADULTERY.'
00:38:29.33\00:38:35.66
AND SO THIS METAPHOR OF A
SEDUCTIVE WOMAN IS SOMETHING
00:38:35.66\00:38:41.26
THAT'S BEING USED TO DESCRIBE
TEMPTATION IN GENERAL AND - BUT
00:38:41.26\00:38:47.33
IT WORKS, I THINK, LITERALLY
AS WELL AS AS A SYMBOL.
00:38:47.33\00:38:51.03
AND YOU READ ON HERE, IT SAYS
IN PROVERBS 6, VERSES 25 THROUGH
00:38:51.03\00:38:55.43
29, "DO NOT LUST AFTER HER
BEAUTY IN YOUR HEART, NOR LET
00:38:55.43\00:38:59.63
HER ALLURE YOU WITH HER EYELIDS.
00:38:59.63\00:39:02.56
FOR BY MEANS OF A HARLOT A MAN
IS REDUCED TO A CRUST OF BREAD;
00:39:02.56\00:39:07.56
AND AN ADULTERESS WILL PREY UPON
HIS PRECIOUS LIFE. CAN A MAN
00:39:07.56\00:39:11.76
TAKE FIRE TO HIS BOSOM,
AND HIS CLOTHES NOT BE BURNED?
00:39:11.76\00:39:15.46
CAN ONE WALK ON HOT COALS,
AND HIS FEET NOT BE SEARED?"
00:39:15.46\00:39:19.20
- WELL, I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S
THE BEST ANALOGY BECAUSE PEOPLE
00:39:19.20\00:39:22.26
DO THAT NOW AT THESE MOTIVATION
SEMINARS, BUT BACK - I DON'T
00:39:22.26\00:39:29.83
KNOW IF ANY OF YOU EVER WENT
CAMPING BEFORE - SUMMERTIME -
00:39:29.83\00:39:34.90
HAVE A CAMP FIRE AND SOMEHOW A
COAL POPPED OUT OF THE FIRE AND
00:39:34.90\00:39:38.50
YOU STEPPED ON IT, BUT WHEN I
LIVED UP IN THE CAVE, IT DOESN'T
00:39:38.50\00:39:41.46
TAKE YOU VERY LONG TO FIND OUT
THAT THAT'S HAPPENED AND YOU'LL
00:39:41.46\00:39:44.90
- YOU DO A DANCE - BUT SO I KNOW
WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT, 'CAN
00:39:44.90\00:39:49.33
YOU WALK ON COALS AND
YOUR FEET NOT BE SEARED?'
00:39:49.33\00:39:51.93
- "SO IS HE WHO GOES IN TO HIS
NEIGHBOR'S WIFE; WHOEVER TOUCHES
00:39:51.93\00:39:56.30
HER SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT."
NOW HE BEARS THAT OUT IN A
00:39:56.30\00:40:00.63
NUMBER OF WAYS
THROUGHOUT THE PASSAGE HERE.
00:40:00.63\00:40:04.40
IF YOU LOOK, FOR INSTANCE, IN
1 CORINTHIANS CHAPTER 10, PAUL
00:40:04.40\00:40:07.56
TALKS ABOUT THIS TOO -
HE'S TALKING ABOUT IT IN A MORE
00:40:07.56\00:40:11.03
LITERAL SENSE, "NO TEMPTATION
HAS OVERTAKEN YOU EXCEPT AS SUCH
00:40:11.03\00:40:17.40
AS IS COMMON TO MAN. BUT
GOD IS FAITHFUL, WHO WILL
00:40:17.40\00:40:21.06
NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE TEMPTED
BEYOND WHAT YOU'RE ABLE, BUT
00:40:21.06\00:40:24.36
WILL WITH THE TEMPTATION, MAKE
A WAY OF ESCAPE THAT YOU'RE ABLE
00:40:24.36\00:40:28.63
TO BEAR IT." SO, OF
COURSE, THERE HE'S -
00:40:28.63\00:40:31.23
THREE TIMES IN THAT VERSE
HE TALKS ABOUT TEMPTATION.
00:40:31.23\00:40:34.96
HE SAYS, 'NO TEMPTATION' -
'GOD WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE
00:40:34.96\00:40:37.30
TEMPTED, BUT WILL WITH THE
TEMPTATION, WILL ALSO PROVIDE A
00:40:37.30\00:40:41.46
WAY OF ESCAPE.' NOW I'M SAYING
ALL THIS TO LEAD UP TO A POINT:
00:40:41.46\00:40:46.33
SOLOMON IS SAYING, 'PUT THE LAW
BEFORE YOUR EYE, TIE IT AROUND
00:40:46.33\00:40:50.36
YOUR FINGER, PUT IT AROUND YOUR
NECK, PUT IT ON YOUR HEART SO
00:40:50.36\00:40:52.96
THAT WHEN TEMPTATION COMES DO
YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT WHETHER
00:40:52.96\00:40:57.23
THIS IS RIGHT OR WRONG?
YOU KNOW WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE
00:40:57.23\00:41:00.43
GET IN TROUBLE WITH TEMPTATION?
IS THEY START TO RATIONALIZE.
00:41:00.43\00:41:05.33
JOE CREWS WROTE A BOOK THAT WAS
REALLY GREAT, YEARS AGO, IT'S
00:41:05.33\00:41:07.83
CALLED "THE POWER OF A POSITIVE
'NO.'" AND HE SAYS, BASICALLY,
00:41:07.83\00:41:12.63
SO MUCH TEMPTATION COULD BE
AVOIDEDBAND WE'D HAVE SO MUCH
00:41:12.63\00:41:15.46
MORE VICTORY, IF WE WOULD BE
DECISIVE ABOUT THAT TEMPTATION
00:41:15.46\00:41:19.50
BEFORE IT EVER COMES.
00:41:19.50\00:41:21.33
SO YOU PREPARE YOURSELF AND YOU
SAY, 'MY ANSWER IS GOING TO BE
00:41:21.33\00:41:24.16
'NO.' AND I'M TELLING YOU IN
ADVANCE MY ANSWER'S GOING TO BE
00:41:24.16\00:41:26.86
'NO.' I KNOW WHEN I QUIT SMOKING
THAT - OR WHEN I QUIT DRUGS -
00:41:26.86\00:41:33.20
WHEN I QUIT DRINKING I KNEW I'D
GET AROUND MY FRIENDS AND THAT -
00:41:33.20\00:41:37.56
I MADE UP MY MIND, 'I'VE GOT
TO STOP THIS, THIS ISN'T RIGHT.'
00:41:37.56\00:41:40.10
AND I KNEW WHEN I GOT AROUND
SOME OF MY OLD FRIENDS THAT I
00:41:40.10\00:41:42.93
WAS GOING TO BE TEMPTED.
THEY WERE GOING TO OFFER ME -
00:41:42.93\00:41:48.56
AND I HAD TO TELL MYSELF AHEAD
OF TIME, 'YOU'VE GOT TO SAY
00:41:48.56\00:41:51.10
'NO.' YOU'VE GOT TO SAY
'NO.' IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
00:41:51.10\00:41:53.03
YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DECISION
IS AND YOU PREPARE YOURSELF.'
00:41:53.03\00:41:56.03
I KEPT IT AROUND MY
NECK. I KEPT IN ON MY FINGER.
00:41:56.03\00:41:58.06
I KEPT IT BEFORE MY EYES SO
THAT WHEN IT CAME, YOU GOT YOUR
00:41:58.06\00:42:01.00
ANSWER RIGHT AWAY.
00:42:01.00\00:42:02.26
AND IT'S THE POWER OF A POSITIVE
'NO.' YOUNG PEOPLE GET INTO
00:42:02.26\00:42:09.53
TROUBLE - OR A YOUNG MAN, YOUNG
WOMAN GO ON A DATE AND THEY
00:42:09.53\00:42:13.36
DON'T HAVE THINGS CAREFULLY
PLANNED AND THEY DON'T HAVE
00:42:13.36\00:42:17.76
THEIR MINDS MADE UP ABOUT WHAT'S
RIGHT AND WRONG AND WHAT LINES
00:42:17.76\00:42:20.46
WILL NOT BE CROSSED AND YOU'VE
GOT TO KNOW THAT STUFF AHEAD OF
00:42:20.46\00:42:24.13
TIME, OTHERWISE YOU GET YOURSELF
IN A COMPROMISING SITUATION AND
00:42:24.13\00:42:28.26
YOU JUST SAY, 'WELL, I'LL JUST
SEE HOW I FEEL AT THE TIME.'
00:42:28.26\00:42:30.70
YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE
ALL THE WRONG DECISIONS.
00:42:30.70\00:42:33.13
IF A PERSON'S ON A DIET - WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT TEMPTATION - AND
00:42:33.13\00:42:37.66
YOU'RE INVITED TO A POTLUCK,
YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW AHEAD OF TIME
00:42:37.66\00:42:43.86
WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO AND
CLAIM THAT PROMISE, 'GOD WILL
00:42:43.86\00:42:48.03
NOT SUFFER YOU TO BE TEMPTED
ABOVE WHAT YOU'RE ABLE BUT WILL,
00:42:48.03\00:42:50.60
WITH THE TEMPTATION, PROVIDE
A WAY OF ESCAPE.' BUT IT REALLY
00:42:50.60\00:42:53.60
HELPS A LOT TO KNOW AHEAD OF
TIME AND HAVE THAT ALL PLANNED
00:42:53.60\00:42:56.13
OUT. NOW I SAID
I WAS GOING TO READ
00:42:56.13\00:42:58.13
SOMETHING FROM PAUL ON
THIS SUBJECT OF TEMPTATION AND
00:42:58.13\00:43:00.93
ADULTERY AND I GOT TWO
SCRIPTURES SWAPPED AROUND.
00:43:00.93\00:43:03.53
NOW, WHAT I WANT TO READ IS 1
CORINTHIANS 6:13 - 1 CORINTHIANS
00:43:03.53\00:43:08.90
6:13 - AND SOMEONE, IN A MOMENT,
IS GOING TO HAVE MARK 14:38 -
00:43:08.90\00:43:12.80
WHO WILL THAT
BE? OVER HERE, OKAY.
00:43:12.80\00:43:15.96
"NOW THE BODY" - AND I'M GOING
TO READ VERSES 13 THROUGH 20 - 1
00:43:15.96\00:43:20.60
CORINTHIANS 6:13 - "NOW THE BODY
IS NOT FOR FORNICATION, BUT FOR
00:43:20.60\00:43:26.03
THE LORD; AND THE
LORD FOR THE BODY.
00:43:26.03\00:43:29.80
AND GOD HATH BOTH RAISED UP THE
LORD, AND WILL ALSO RAISE US UP
00:43:29.80\00:43:33.56
BY HIS OWN POWER. KNOW
YE NOT THAT YOUR BODIES ARE
00:43:33.56\00:43:37.06
THE MEMBERS OF CHRIST? SHALL I
THEN TAKE THE MEMBERS OF CHRIST,
00:43:37.06\00:43:41.76
AND MAKE THEM THE MEMBERS
OF AN HARLOT? GOD FORBID. WHAT?
00:43:41.76\00:43:46.06
KNOW YE NOT THAT HE WHICH IS
JOINED TO AN HARLOT IS ONE BODY?
00:43:46.06\00:43:50.30
FOR TWO, SAITH HE, SHALL BE
ONE FLESH. BUT HE THAT IS JOINED
00:43:50.30\00:43:55.86
UNTO THE LORD IS ONE
SPIRIT. FLEE FORNICATION."
00:43:55.86\00:44:00.73
- NOW, WHEN YOU FLEE IT'S LIKE
WHEN YOU SEE A SNAKE - YOU'RE
00:44:00.73\00:44:03.53
NOT THINKING ABOUT IT,
YOU HAVE TO REACT RIGHT AWAY.
00:44:03.53\00:44:06.16
WHAT DID JOSEPH DO WHEN HE WAS
TEMPTED IN THAT AREA? HE FLED.
00:44:06.16\00:44:12.50
IT ALSO SAYS 'RESIST THE DEVIL
AND HE'LL FLEE FROM YOU.' THAT'S
00:44:12.50\00:44:16.60
THE SAME THING BUT IT'S JUST
LIKE TWO MAGNETS PUSHING EACH
00:44:16.60\00:44:20.56
OTHER AWAY. YOU'VE
GOT TO KNOW RIGHT AWAY
00:44:20.56\00:44:21.86
THAT IS WRONG AND RUN FROM IT.
DON'T GIVE ANY OPPORTUNITY - NOW
00:44:21.86\00:44:26.53
WHETHER IT'S A TEMPTATION
TO IMMORALITY OR WHATEVER THE
00:44:26.53\00:44:30.73
TEMPTATION IS - AVOID
THOSE PLACES OF TEMPTATION.
00:44:30.73\00:44:34.10
WHEN I GO TO THE MARKET
STILL - I HAVEN'T HAD A DRINK IN
00:44:34.10\00:44:39.20
30-SOMETHING YEARS - BUT STILL,
WHEN I GO TO THE MARKET, I DON'T
00:44:39.20\00:44:43.66
WANT TO TAKE A SHORTCUT DOWN THE
LIQUOR SECTION TO GET TO WHERE
00:44:43.66\00:44:46.36
I'M GOING. I DON'T
EVEN WANT TO - THE BIBLE
00:44:46.36\00:44:49.23
SAYS AVOID THE
APPEARANCE OF EVIL.
00:44:49.23\00:44:51.10
SO, YOU KNOW, ON EITHER SIDE OF
THE AISLE IT'S ALL BOOZE AND I
00:44:51.10\00:44:56.26
THINK, 'WHAT IF A MEMBER
WALKS BY AND EVEN SEES ME IN THE
00:44:56.26\00:45:01.86
AISLE? I DON'T EVEN WANT
TO GO THROUGH THAT AISLE.
00:45:01.86\00:45:04.03
I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM.
00:45:04.03\00:45:05.70
WHEN I QUIT DRINKING, I DIDN'T
QUIT DRINKING - I'LL JUST BE
00:45:05.70\00:45:09.03
HONEST WITH YOU - MY MOTHER
DRANK, MY FATHER DRANK - BOTH
00:45:09.03\00:45:11.26
TILL THEY DIED, I
MEAN, SO IT WAS IN OUR DNA.
00:45:11.26\00:45:16.90
I WAS CLEANING OUT MY FATHER'S
MARTINI GLASSES WHEN I WAS LIKE
00:45:16.90\00:45:20.26
FIVE YEARS OLD, SO I STARTED
DRINKING WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG.
00:45:20.26\00:45:22.73
SO I QUIT, NOT BECAUSE I DIDN'T
LIKE IT - I QUIT BECAUSE I KNEW
00:45:22.73\00:45:25.36
GOD WANTED ME TO
QUIT AND IT WAS BAD.
00:45:25.36\00:45:27.33
BUT IT WASN'T
BECAUSE I DIDN'T CRAVE IT.
00:45:27.33\00:45:31.16
AND SO I JUST HAD TO STAY AWAY
- DON'T EVEN GO DOWN THAT AISLE.
00:45:31.16\00:45:34.70
DON'T EVEN GIVE
THE DEVIL OPPORTUNITY.
00:45:34.70\00:45:36.93
FLEE FROM TEMPTATION.
STAY AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN.
00:45:36.93\00:45:41.16
AND HE'S SAYING THAT
HERE ALSO ABOUT IMMORALITY.
00:45:41.16\00:45:44.63
"FLEE FORNICATION.
EVERY SIN THAT A MAN DOETH IS
00:45:44.63\00:45:48.16
WITHOUT THE BODY; BUT HE THAT
COMMITTETH FORNICATION SINNETH
00:45:48.16\00:45:51.20
AGAINST HIS OWN BODY. WHAT?"
00:45:51.20\00:45:53.70
- AND, OF COURSE, THIS
IS MEN OR WOMEN - "WHAT?
00:45:53.70\00:45:55.80
KNOW YE NOT THAT YOUR BODY
IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY GHOST
00:45:55.80\00:45:59.10
WHICH IS IN YOU, WHICH YE HAVE
OF GOD, AND YE ARE NOT YOUR OWN?
00:45:59.10\00:46:01.70
FOR YE ARE BOUGHT WITH A PRICE:
THEREFORE GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR
00:46:01.70\00:46:05.30
BODY, AND IN YOUR
SPIRIT, WHICH ARE GOD'S."
00:46:05.30\00:46:08.60
ALRIGHT, YOU'RE GOING TO READ
FOR US, I THINK, MARK 14:38.
00:46:08.60\00:46:13.96
>>"WATCH AND PRAY, LEST
YOU ENTER INTO TEMPTATION.
00:46:13.96\00:46:16.86
THE SPIRIT INDEED IS
WILLING, BUT THE FLESH IS WEAK."
00:46:16.86\00:46:20.33
>>NOW JESUS IS MAKING THIS
STATEMENT TO THE DISCIPLES IN
00:46:20.33\00:46:23.80
THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE WHEN
THEY'RE STRUGGLING WITH PRAYING
00:46:23.80\00:46:27.16
FOR HIM. THE LORD KNOWS THAT
THEY'RE GETTING READY TO JUST BE
00:46:27.16\00:46:30.36
HAMMERED WITH ALL KINDS OF
TEMPTATION TO DENY HIM AND TO
00:46:30.36\00:46:35.43
FORSAKE HIM AND TO
GIVE UP THEIR FAITH.
00:46:35.43\00:46:38.53
AND HE'S SAYING ONE OF THE
WAYS THAT WE AVOID TEMPTATION IS
00:46:38.53\00:46:41.33
WHAT? WATCH AND
PRAY. SO HOW DO YOU WATCH?
00:46:41.33\00:46:47.90
PETER SAYS, 'BE SOBER. BE
VIGILANT.' VIGIL - WHAT ARE
00:46:47.90\00:46:52.86
YOU DOING WHEN YOU KEEP VIGIL?
DO YOU SLEEP THROUGH A VIGIL?
00:46:52.86\00:46:56.40
TO BE VIGILANT MEANS TO BE LIKE
WATCHING AS THOUGH AN ENEMY IS
00:46:56.40\00:47:01.86
APPROACHING AND COULD BE
SNEAKING UP, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW
00:47:01.86\00:47:04.63
THE DEVIL WORKS AND JESUS
IS SAYING 'THE DEVIL'S SNEAKY.
00:47:04.63\00:47:06.90
KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.' DON'T
THINK A LOT ABOUT THE DEVIL, BUT
00:47:06.90\00:47:10.43
UNDERSTAND YOUR WEAKNESSES
AND DON'T GIVE HIM OPPORTUNITY.
00:47:10.43\00:47:14.63
ONE OF THE WAYS WE RESIST -
PRAY THAT YOU ENTER NOT INTO
00:47:14.63\00:47:19.16
TEMPTATION. AND WHAT ELSE DID
JESUS DO TO AVOID TEMPTATION?
00:47:19.16\00:47:22.83
THE LAW OF GOD AROUND HIS NECK,
BETWEEN HIS EYES, ON HIS HAND,
00:47:22.83\00:47:29.30
TIED ON HIS FINGER, IN HIS
HEART. FIRST THING HE SAID WHEN
00:47:29.30\00:47:33.26
TEMPTATION CAME - HE FOUGHT WITH
- WHAT SOLOMON'S TALKING ABOUT -
00:47:33.26\00:47:36.53
THE LAW OF GOD IS WHAT
KEPT HIM FROM THESE THINGS.
00:47:36.53\00:47:39.23
SATAN - AND THIS IS A QUOTE
THAT'S IN YOUR LESSON - FROM
00:47:39.23\00:47:42.66
E.G. WHITE, TESTIMONIES VOLUME
4, PAGE 495 - "SATAN OFFERS TO
00:47:42.66\00:47:48.80
MEN THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD
IF THEY WILL YIELD TO HIM THE
00:47:48.80\00:47:52.03
SUPREMACY. MANY DO
THIS AND SACRIFICE HEAVEN.
00:47:52.03\00:47:55.96
IT'S BETTER TO DIE THAN TO SIN."
00:47:55.96\00:47:59.00
YOU DON'T HEAR
THAT VERY OFTEN, DO YOU?
00:47:59.00\00:48:02.30
WHAT SEPARATES THOSE WHO RECEIVE
THE MARK OF THE BEAST FROM THOSE
00:48:02.30\00:48:06.53
WHO DON'T? THE ONES
WHO REFUSE TO RECEIVE
00:48:06.53\00:48:09.60
THE MARK OF THE BEAST ARE
WILLING TO DIE RATHER THAN SIN.
00:48:09.60\00:48:13.00
I MEAN, ISN'T THAT
WHAT THE BEAST SAYS?
00:48:13.00\00:48:14.43
IF THEY DON'T WORSHIP
THE BEAST THEY'LL BE KILLED.
00:48:14.43\00:48:16.50
SO WE'VE GOT TO
HAVE OUR MINDS MADE UP.
00:48:16.50\00:48:18.30
WAS THERE A DEATH SENTENCE
THREATENED AGAINST SHADRACH,
00:48:18.30\00:48:22.76
MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO IF THEY
DIDN'T AT LEAST ONE TIME BOW
00:48:22.76\00:48:25.13
DOWN - JUST ONCE? HOW ABOUT
DANIEL? HE ONLY HAD THIRTY DAYS
00:48:25.13\00:48:32.36
- HE JUST - ALL HE NEEDED TO
DO WAS CLOSE HIS WINDOWS THIRTY
00:48:32.36\00:48:35.13
DAYS AND - BUT HE WOULDN'T
DO IT AT ALL - NOT ONCE.
00:48:35.13\00:48:39.80
AND WHAT DID THAT
MEAN? HE WAS GOING TO DIE.
00:48:39.80\00:48:42.16
AND HE SAID, 'I'D RATHER DIE
THAN SIN.' I KNOW THAT SOUNDS
00:48:42.16\00:48:44.86
HEAVY, BUT THIS IS - THIS IS
THE BIBLE IDEAL FOR THAT TRUTH.
00:48:44.86\00:48:49.23
I KNOW I'VE MET PEOPLE
BEFORE THAT SAY, 'PASTOR DOUG?'
00:48:49.23\00:48:51.66
- CHURCH MEMBERS - AND THEY
SAY, 'YOU KNOW, I'VE STRUGGLED
00:48:51.66\00:48:56.20
LOOKING FOR WORK AND I FINALLY
GOT A JOB AND THEY SAY I'VE ONLY
00:48:56.20\00:48:58.93
GOT TO BREAK THE SABBATH FOR
THIRTY DAYS AND THEN I'LL GET
00:48:58.93\00:49:01.96
SENIORITY' OR 'JUST A FEW MONTHS
AND THEN I'LL GET - DURING THE
00:49:01.96\00:49:05.70
TRAINING PERIOD - I'VE JUST GOT
TO WORK A FEW SABBATHS WHILE I'M
00:49:05.70\00:49:08.00
TRAINING AND THEN I GET IT OFF.'
I SAY, 'BOY, ONCE YOU OPEN THAT
00:49:08.00\00:49:10.90
DOOR, BROTHER,' I SAID
'YOU START SELLING YOUR SOUL
00:49:10.90\00:49:14.10
IT MAKES IT EASIER NEXT TIME.
00:49:14.10\00:49:16.23
AND IF YOU'RE WILLING TO DO IT
NOW FOR A JOB, WHAT WILL YOU DO
00:49:16.23\00:49:18.83
WHEN YOUR LIFE'S
ON THE LINE?' RIGHT?
00:49:18.83\00:49:24.53
IT'S BETTER TO DIE THAN TO SIN.
BETTER TO WANT THAN DEFRAUD.
00:49:24.53\00:49:29.43
NOW WHAT THAT MEANS IS DON'T
STEAL. YOU'RE BETTER TO BE IN
00:49:29.43\00:49:31.86
WANT OR IN NEED THAN TO DEFRAUD.
BETTER TO HUNGER THAN TO LIE FOR
00:49:31.86\00:49:36.50
A PIECE OF BREAD.
ALRIGHT, WEDNESDAY - 'YOU SHALL
00:49:36.50\00:49:40.96
NOT STEAL.' NOW I'VE GOT
TO MOVE RIGHT ALONG HERE.
00:49:40.96\00:49:42.56
PROVERBS 6:30 TO 31, "MEN DO
NOT DESPISE A THIEF IF HE STEAL
00:49:42.56\00:49:50.23
TO SATISFY HIS
SOUL WHEN HE IS HUNGRY.
00:49:50.23\00:49:52.76
BUT IF HE BE FOUND, HE SHALL
RESTORE SEVENFOLD;" HE MAY HAVE
00:49:52.76\00:49:55.93
TO GIVE UP ALL THE
SUBSTANCE OF HIS HOUSE.
00:49:55.93\00:49:58.00
NOW HE'S GOING ON AND HE'S
COMPARING SOMEBODY WHO MIGHT
00:49:58.00\00:50:00.53
STEAL TO SOMEBODY WHO
MIGHT VIOLATE A MARRIAGE.
00:50:00.53\00:50:06.66
ARE THERE
VARYING DEGREES OF SIN?
00:50:06.66\00:50:09.40
WHILE ALL SIN IS BAD,
THERE ARE VARYING DEGREES.
00:50:09.40\00:50:11.56
WHAT'S WORSE, TO STEAL
SOMETHING OR TO MURDER SOMEBODY?
00:50:11.56\00:50:19.10
WHAT'S WORSE, TO LIE
OR TO COMMIT ADULTERY?
00:50:19.10\00:50:25.83
YOU DON'T EVER WANT TO
SAY ANYTHING'S GOOD, DO YOU?
00:50:25.83\00:50:28.16
BUT YEAH, I THINK WE ALL KNOW
IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN
00:50:28.16\00:50:30.40
EXPERIENCING ONE OF THE TWO,
YOU'D RATHER HAVE SOMEONE TELL
00:50:30.40\00:50:33.00
YOU A LIE - OF COURSE, IT
DEPENDS ON WHAT THE LIE IS -
00:50:33.00\00:50:34.93
THAN TO HAVE YOUR
MARRIAGE VIOLATED.
00:50:34.93\00:50:38.23
SO THERE ARE VARYING DEGREES
OF SIN AND THAT'S WHAT SOLOMON'S
00:50:38.23\00:50:40.03
SAYING. HE'S
SAYING, YOU KNOW, AT LEAST
00:50:40.03\00:50:41.30
IF A THIEF STEALS IT'S BECAUSE
HE'S STARVING, BUT PEOPLE WHO
00:50:41.30\00:50:45.26
COMMIT ADULTERY - DO YOU
KNOW YOU CAN LIVE WITHOUT SEX?
00:50:45.26\00:50:47.76
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, YOU WON'T DIE
EVEN THOUGH YOU MIGHT THINK YOU
00:50:47.76\00:50:50.23
WILL DIE, YOU WON'T DIE. AND
THAT'S WHAT SOLOMON IS SAYING.
00:50:50.23\00:50:55.50
BUT PEOPLE THAT DESTROY ANOTHER
FAMILY, THERE'S NO EXCUSE FOR
00:50:55.50\00:51:01.53
IT. PROVERBS 30, VERSES 8 AND 9,
00:51:01.53\00:51:05.73
"REMOVE FALSEHOOD AND LIES FAR
FROM ME; GIVE ME NEITHER POVERTY
00:51:05.73\00:51:09.06
NOR RICHES - FEED ME WITH THE
FOOD ALLOTTED TO ME; LEST I BE
00:51:09.06\00:51:13.23
FULL AND DENY YOU, AND
SAY, 'WHO IS THE LORD?'
00:51:13.23\00:51:16.40
OR LEST I BE POOR AND STEAL,
AND PROFANE THE NAME OF MY GOD."
00:51:16.40\00:51:20.63
SO HE'S SAYING, 'I DON'T WANT TO
DENY THE LORD AND I DON'T WANT
00:51:20.63\00:51:22.56
TO STEAL EITHER.' THEN -
NOW, WHEN HE'S TALKING ABOUT
00:51:22.56\00:51:28.80
STEALING, IS SOLOMON
JUST TALKING ABOUT A THIEF
00:51:28.80\00:51:32.53
STEALING BREAD OR DOES HE TALK
ABOUT STEALING IN THE CONTEXT OF
00:51:32.53\00:51:35.96
STEALING ANOTHER WOMAN'S
HUSBAND OR ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE?
00:51:35.96\00:51:40.13
IS THAT STEALING?
IS ADULTERY STEALING?
00:51:40.13\00:51:44.30
WHEN YOU STEAL AFFECTION THAT'S
BEEN GIVEN TO SOMEONE ELSE IN A
00:51:44.30\00:51:47.56
COVENANT BEFORE GOD? DID
DAVID STEAL URIAH'S WIFE?
00:51:47.56\00:51:53.90
HE TOOK IT BY FRAUD.
00:51:53.90\00:51:56.60
THERE'S ANOTHER VERSE
WHERE PAUL CONNECTS THE TWO -
00:51:56.60\00:52:01.16
1 THESSALONIANS 4 - 1
THESSALONIANS 4, VERSES 3
00:52:01.16\00:52:07.03
THROUGH 6, "FOR THIS IS THE WILL
OF GOD, YOUR SANCTIFICATION:
00:52:07.03\00:52:10.23
THAT YOU SHOULD ABSTAIN FROM
SEXUAL IMMORALITY; THAT EACH OF
00:52:10.23\00:52:12.96
YOU SHOULD KNOW HOW TO POSSESS
HIS OWN VESSEL" - HIS BODY - "IN
00:52:12.96\00:52:16.60
SANCTIFICATION AND HONOR,
NOT IN PASSION OF LUST, LIKE THE
00:52:16.60\00:52:20.20
GENTILES WHO DO NOT KNOW
GOD; THAT NO ONE SHOULD TAKE
00:52:20.20\00:52:23.36
ADVANTAGE OF AND DEFRAUD HIS
BROTHER IN THIS MATTER," - YOU
00:52:23.36\00:52:28.40
KNOW WHAT DEFRAUD
MEANS? IT'S A TYPE OF STEALING.
00:52:28.40\00:52:30.93
WHY IS PAUL JUMPING
FROM ADULTERY TO DEFRAUDING?
00:52:30.93\00:52:34.63
OR IS HE MAKING THAT SAME
CONNECTION THAT SOLOMON MADE,
00:52:34.63\00:52:38.23
THAT THEY WERE
DEFRAUDING EACH OTHER.
00:52:38.23\00:52:40.76
I MEAN, 1 CORINTHIANS HE
TALKS ABOUT ONE MAN TAKING HIS
00:52:40.76\00:52:42.80
FATHER'S WIFE. THAT'S
STEALING YOUR FATHER'S
00:52:42.80\00:52:45.20
WIFE, NOT TO MENTION
IT'S ADULTERY AS WELL.
00:52:45.20\00:52:48.53
ELLEN WHITE SAYS, IN 'PATRIARCHS
AND PROPHETS' PAGE 308, "THOU
00:52:48.53\00:52:54.46
SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY.
THIS COMMANDMENT FORBIDS NOT
00:52:54.46\00:52:57.43
ONLY ACTS OF IMPURITY, BUT
SENSUAL THOUGHTS OR DESIRES OR
00:52:57.43\00:53:00.90
ANY PRACTICE THAT
TENDS TO EXCITE THEM.
00:53:00.90\00:53:03.90
CHRIST, WHO TAUGHT THE
FAR-REACHING OBLIGATION OF THE
00:53:03.90\00:53:06.46
LAW OF GOD, DECLARED THE
EVIL THOUGHT OR LOOK TO BE AS
00:53:06.46\00:53:09.86
TRULY A SIN AS
THE UNLAWFUL DEED."
00:53:09.86\00:53:12.80
NOW WHENEVER I READ SOMETHING
LIKE THAT, I NEED TO MAKE IT
00:53:12.80\00:53:15.43
CLEAR THAT I'VE RUN INTO PEOPLE
BEFORE AND THEY SAY, 'WELL,
00:53:15.43\00:53:19.46
JESUS SAYS IF YOU THINK IT
IN YOUR HEART IT'S THE SAME AS
00:53:19.46\00:53:21.66
DOING IT, SO I'M THINKING IT
- I MAY AS WELL DO IT.' NO, GOD
00:53:21.66\00:53:26.30
FORBID, AS PAUL SAID.
IT'S NOT WHAT JESUS IS SAYING.
00:53:26.30\00:53:29.13
IT'S NOT WHAT PAUL IS SAYING.
00:53:29.13\00:53:30.53
THEY'RE JUST SAYING WE WANT TO
AVOID THE THOUGHT ALSO, BECAUSE
00:53:30.53\00:53:34.30
JAMES SAYS IT'S THE
THOUGHT THAT LEADS TO THE ACT.
00:53:34.30\00:53:37.93
SO JUST RECOGNIZE THE SIN BEGINS
WITH THE THOUGHT - THE DEED IS
00:53:37.93\00:53:41.06
OBVIOUSLY MUCH WORSE, WHY?
WELL, THE THOUGHT'S STILL JUST
00:53:41.06\00:53:44.00
IN YOUR HEAD. THE
DEED THAT INVOLVES ANOTHER
00:53:44.00\00:53:45.66
PERSON - ANOTHER FAMILY -
AND IT'S MUCH MORE SINISTER.
00:53:45.66\00:53:50.40
LAST SECTION - THURSDAY - 'THE
THREAT OF DEATH.' PROVERBS 7:22
00:53:50.40\00:53:54.93
AND 23 - AND SOMEBODY'S GOING TO
READ PROVERBS 7:26 AND 27 IN A
00:53:54.93\00:54:00.96
MINUTE. OKAY.
"IMMEDIATELY HE WENT AFTER HER,"
00:54:00.96\00:54:05.46
- HE'S STILL TALKING ABOUT THIS
METAPHOR AGAIN, OF THE MAN AND
00:54:05.46\00:54:08.00
THE HARLOT - "AS AN OX GOES TO
THE SLAUGHTER, OR AS A FOOL TO
00:54:08.00\00:54:12.73
THE CORRECTION OF THE STOCKS,
TILL AN ARROW STRUCK HIS LIVER.
00:54:12.73\00:54:16.96
AS A BIRD HASTENS TO THE SNARE,"
- YOU KNOW, IF YOU GOT HIT IN
00:54:16.96\00:54:20.60
BIBLE TIMES - IF YOU GOT HIT BY
AN ARROW ON A LOT OF YOUR BODY,
00:54:20.60\00:54:23.10
YOU COULD PROBABLY BE BOUND UP
AND HEALED, BUT IF IT HIT YOUR
00:54:23.10\00:54:25.53
LIVER IT WAS FATAL AND THAT'S
BASICALLY WHAT HE'S SAYING HERE,
00:54:25.53\00:54:32.63
THAT THIS - AND THAT'S WHAT
THIS WHOLE SECTION'S ABOUT - THE
00:54:32.63\00:54:35.33
THREAT OF DEATH - "AS A BIRD
HASTENS TO THE SNARE, HE DID NOT
00:54:35.33\00:54:39.60
KNOW IT WOULD COST HIS LIFE."
THIS IS, YOU KNOW, WHAT'S HIS
00:54:39.60\00:54:47.06
NAME? JOHN - THAT'S HIS NAME -
HE TALKS ABOUT A SIN THAT LEADS
00:54:47.06\00:54:52.16
UNTO DEATH AND THIS IS
JUST A DANGEROUS THING.
00:54:52.16\00:54:56.10
IT'S NOT THAT GOD DOESN'T
FORGIVE IT. HE FORGAVE DAVID.
00:54:56.10\00:54:58.13
HE FORGAVE SAMPSON IN THIS AREA,
BUT THE WAGES OF SIN IS WHAT?
00:54:58.13\00:55:03.70
>>DEATH. >>DEATH.
00:55:03.70\00:55:05.36
AND THAT'S WHAT
SOLOMON'S SAYING HERE.
00:55:05.36\00:55:06.70
GO AHEAD, READ FOR
US PROVERBS 7:26 AND 27.
00:55:06.70\00:55:10.73
>>"FOR SHE HAS CAST DOWN MANY
WOUNDED, AND ALL WHO WERE SLAIN
00:55:10.73\00:55:14.23
BY HER WERE STRONG MEN.
HER HOUSE IS THE WAY TO HELL,
00:55:14.23\00:55:17.66
DESCENDING TO THE
CHAMBERS OF DEATH."
00:55:17.66\00:55:19.96
>>AGAIN, HE'S EMPHASIZING THAT
THE END OF TEMPTATION - IT'S NOT
00:55:19.96\00:55:23.63
JUST TALKING ABOUT SEXUAL
TEMPTATION, SOLOMON IS SPEAKING
00:55:23.63\00:55:26.63
IN A VERY COMPREHENSIVE WAY,
USING THIS METAPHOR TO KIND OF
00:55:26.63\00:55:31.30
ENCOMPASS ALL TEMPTATION.
YOU KNOW, ALL TEMPTATION IS
00:55:31.30\00:55:34.03
SUMMED UP IN THREE AREAS: THE
LUST OF THE FLESH, THE LUST OF
00:55:34.03\00:55:38.80
THE EYES, AND THE PRIDE OF LIFE.
WHEN JESUS WAS TEMPTED WITH
00:55:38.80\00:55:42.46
BREAD, WHICH ONE WAS THAT?
HE WAS HUNGRY, IT'S A PHYSICAL
00:55:42.46\00:55:46.16
TEMPTATION. SEX IS
A PHYSICAL TEMPTATION.
00:55:46.16\00:55:49.46
THEN YOU'VE GOT THE TEMPTATIONS
OF PRIDE AND YOU'VE GOT THE
00:55:49.46\00:55:52.13
TEMPTATIONS OF COVETOUSNESS -
THE LUST OF THE EYES - AND JUST
00:55:52.13\00:55:55.80
ABOUT ANYTHING COULD BE
SUMMED UP IN THOSE CATEGORIES.
00:55:55.80\00:55:58.13
THOSE ARE THE AREAS
WHERE EVE FELL AND ADAM.
00:55:58.13\00:56:02.10
THOSE ARE THE AREAS WHERE JESUS
OVERCAME - THREE MAIN AREAS OF
00:56:02.10\00:56:06.10
TEMPTATION. AND THEN
ROMANS 8, VERSES 5 AND
00:56:06.10\00:56:09.13
6, "FOR THOSE WHO LIVE ACCORDING
TO THE FLESH SET THEIR MINDS ON
00:56:09.13\00:56:13.73
THE THINGS OF THE FLESH, BUT
THOSE WHO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE
00:56:13.73\00:56:16.66
SPIRIT, THE
THINGS OF THE SPIRIT.
00:56:16.66\00:56:18.80
FOR TO BE CARNALLY" - OR FLESHLY
- "MINDED IS DEATH, BUT TO BE
00:56:18.80\00:56:23.50
SPIRITUALLY MINDED
IS LIFE AND PEACE."
00:56:23.50\00:56:26.46
I'D MUCH RATHER
END ON THOSE WORDS.
00:56:26.46\00:56:28.10
SO HE SAID IT'S A LIFE AND DEATH
THING. IF WE ARE CARNALLY MINDED
00:56:28.10\00:56:32.16
AND LIVING FOR THE THINGS OF
THE WORLD, IT LEADS TO DEATH.
00:56:32.16\00:56:35.66
THAT'S WHY WE'VE GOT TO KEEP THE
LAW AND - BY THE WAY, JUST IN
00:56:35.66\00:56:40.00
CLOSING, ALL OF THE LAW THAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT EMBODIES
00:56:40.00\00:56:44.63
JESUS BECAUSE HE LIVED IT OUT
IN HIS LIFE - HE FULFILLED IT.
00:56:44.63\00:56:48.03
SO WHEN YOU KEEP CHRIST BEFORE
YOU - IN YOUR HEART, AROUND YOUR
00:56:48.03\00:56:52.76
NECK, BETWEEN YOUR EYES, ON
YOUR HAND - THAT'S REALLY JUST
00:56:52.76\00:56:56.13
KEEPING THE LAW BEFORE YOU
BECAUSE CHRIST IS THE EMBODIMENT
00:56:56.13\00:56:59.73
OF THE WORD, ISN'T HE? AND
THAT'S WHAT KEEPS US FROM SIN.
00:56:59.73\00:57:03.00
