>> HELLO AND WELCOME ONCE
AGAIN TO 3ABN "TODAY LIVE."
00:01:09.33\00:01:14.00
MY NAME IS CA MURRAY, AND ALLOW
ME TO THANK YOU FOR SHARING JUST
00:01:14.00\00:01:17.61
A LITTLE OF YOUR NO-DOUBT BUSY
DAY, BUDDY  -- BUSY EVENING WITH
00:01:17.61\00:01:28.35
US, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR
SUPPORT OF THE 3ABN BROADCASTING
00:01:28.35\00:01:41.36
NEXT WORK. WE ARE
DELVING INTO A SUBJECT
00:01:41.36\00:01:44.80
THAT HAS MYSTIFIED SOME AND
FRIGHTENED OTHERS AS WE TALK
-ABOUT THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
00:01:44.80\00:01:52.11
CHRIST, AND WE'RE REALLY GOING
TO GO -- PUT THE SHOVEL IN THE
00:01:52.11\00:01:56.91
GROUND ON THAT SUBJECT.
AND THEN I'M EXCITED BECAUSE OF
00:01:56.91\00:02:00.28
MY GUEST, SOMEONE I HAVE COME TO
KNOW, LOVE AND RESPECT, AND THAT
00:02:00.28\00:02:05.45
IS JAMES RAFFERTY. I
WILL CALL HIM PASTOR JAMES
00:02:05.45\00:02:10.23
RAFFERTY, BECAUSE HE HAS ADDED
TO HIS CONSIDERABLE PORTFOLIO,
00:02:10.23\00:02:17.60
PASTOR. HE IS
AUTHOR, TEACHER, LECTURER,
00:02:17.60\00:02:23.00
AND NOW PASTOR. AND IN
HIS SPARE TIME, HE DOES
00:02:23.00\00:02:28.48
NOTHING, BECAUSE
HE HAS NO SPARE TIME.
00:02:28.48\00:02:31.38
>> GOOD TO BE HERE, ALWAYS.
>> WE'RE JUST TALKING -- I -- I
00:02:31.38\00:02:35.28
DIDN'T CALL HIM -- I DIDN'T CALL
HIM OLD FRIEND, BECAUSE WHEN YOU
00:02:35.28\00:02:39.62
GET -- WELL I DON'T KNOW
HIS AGE, MY AGE, I DON'T USE THE
00:02:39.62\00:02:45.56
TERM OLD FRIEND, I SAY FRIEND
OF LONG-STANDING, BUT NOT OLD
00:02:45.56\00:02:50.90
FRIEND. GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.
00:02:50.90\00:02:52.30
>> GOOD TO BE HERE. >>
WE BROUGHT A LITTLE SNOW
00:02:52.30\00:02:57.94
GROUR. >> YEAH,
USUALLY I WOULD COME
00:02:57.94\00:03:01.41
HERE TO ESCAPE THE SNOW.
BECAUSE I LIVE IN SNOW COUNTRY.
00:03:01.41\00:03:09.05
AND NOW WE LIVE IN OREGON,
IN CENTRAL OREGON TOWARDS THE
00:03:09.05\00:03:13.12
COAST, EUGENE, AND WE DON'T SEE
SNOW EXCEPT ON THE MOUNTAINS,
00:03:13.12\00:03:17.49
AND SO I COME OUT TO ST. LOUIS,
AND I WAS CHECKING THE WEATHER
00:03:17.49\00:03:21.50
JUST TO KNOW WHAT TO
EXPECT -- BECAUSE I HAVEN'T
00:03:21.50\00:03:26.94
DRIVEN IN SNOW IN A LONG TIME,
AND THE ONE DAY I'M GOING TO BE
00:03:26.94\00:03:30.57
HERE IT SNOWED.
AND THAT'S TODAY.
00:03:30.57\00:03:33.38
[ LAUGHTER ] >> SO I
WAS TAKING PICTURES ON
00:03:33.38\00:03:36.44
MY WAY OUT HERE
TO SEND TO MY WIFE.
00:03:36.44\00:03:39.45
[ LAUGHTER ] >> ONCE
I WAS TALKING WITH TINE
00:03:39.45\00:03:42.68
AND FOR MANY YEARS YOU WERE
JOINED CERTAINLY AT THE HEART IF
00:03:42.68\00:03:48.76
NOT THE HIP. ONE
LIKES TO TRAVEL WITH
00:03:48.76\00:03:52.83
EVERYTHING IN ONE HAND,
AND THE OTHER WITH EVERYTHING.
00:03:52.83\00:03:59.43
>> I CHECK EVERYTHING. I
WANT TO WALK THE AIRPORTS.
00:03:59.43\00:04:04.71
AND TODD HAS
EVERYTHING IN ONE BAG.
00:04:04.71\00:04:07.84
IT IS ALWAYS WITH HIM WHEN
HE CAN GET OFF OF THE PLANE.
00:04:07.84\00:04:11.38
>> SO HE CHECKS
NOTHING. YOU CHECK EVERYTHING.
00:04:11.38\00:04:14.15
>> UH-HUH. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:04:14.15\00:04:16.55
>> PRAISE THE LORD. >> I
WOULD RATHER HAVE AS LITTLE
00:04:16.55\00:04:20.39
IN MY HAND -- MAYBE A BACKPACK,
BUT I DON'T LIKE A LOT OF
00:04:20.39\00:04:24.49
DRAGGING STUFF -- I
WANT TO SPEND A LITTLE TIME.
00:04:24.49\00:04:29.23
WE ARE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:04:29.23\00:04:34.17
BUT YOU HVE BEEN AT
THIS A LITTLE WHILE.
00:04:34.17\00:04:39.61
GIVE US A LITTLE BACKGROUND.
YOU DIDN'T START OUT AS --
00:04:39.61\00:04:42.54
>> NO, I
STARTED OUT AS CATHOLIC.
00:04:42.54\00:04:47.15
BORN AND RAISED ROMAN CATHOLIC.
AND WAS GOING TO CATHOLIC
00:04:47.15\00:04:52.35
SCHOOL. WAS AN ALTER BOY.
00:04:52.35\00:04:55.09
DIDN'T REALLY KNOW THE BIBLE.
MOVED TO THE STATES -- BECAUSE I
00:04:55.09\00:04:58.59
WAS BORN HERE, ACTUALLY CAMP
PENDLETON, MY MOM AND DAD WERE
00:04:58.59\00:05:06.90
BOTH IN THE MARINE CORPS,
AND THEY SEPARATED WHEN WE WERE
00:05:06.90\00:05:11.37
KIDS, AND THEN I WENT
INTO COMPLETE DYSFUNCTION.
00:05:11.37\00:05:15.18
I SEPARATED FROM ANY
RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION.
00:05:15.18\00:05:21.02
IN THOSE YEARS FROM
ABOUT 11 THROUGH 21.
00:05:21.02\00:05:25.82
BY THE TIME I WAS 21, I WAS
MOVING INTO THE ALCOHOLISM THAT
00:05:25.82\00:05:31.16
CAME TO THE FAMILY FROM MY
GRANDMA AND MY DAD'S SIDE BOTH.
00:05:31.16\00:05:36.43
AND I WAS WORKING IN A HOSPITAL
IN SPOKANE, WASHINGTON, I GOT ON
00:05:36.43\00:05:41.77
MY KNEES AND ASKED
GOD TO COME INTO MY HEART.
00:05:41.77\00:05:47.18
AND I TOLD HIM I
CAN'T STOP DRINKING.
00:05:47.18\00:05:50.48
>> SO YOU WERE A
FUNCTIONING DRINKER.
00:05:50.48\00:05:53.31
>> YEAH, I WAS STILL YOUNG.
I HADN'T TAKEN A SKID ROW.
00:05:53.31\00:05:58.32
AND THEN MY SISTER GOT
AFFILIATED WITH THE ADVENT
00:05:58.32\00:06:07.66
-- ADVENTIST CHURCH, AND SHE
STARTED BRINGING OVER THIS FUNKY
00:06:07.66\00:06:13.30
STUFF, AND I WAS
LIKE, WHERE IS THAT?
00:06:13.30\00:06:16.54
SATURDAY? WHAT?
00:06:16.54\00:06:17.61
SO THAT LEAD TO ME INVESTIGATING
THE ADVENTIST CHURCH, BECAUSE I
00:06:17.61\00:06:25.81
THOUGHT IT WAS A CULT, AND I WAS
TRYING TO GET MY SISTER OUT, AND
00:06:25.81\00:06:33.22
I STUDIED MYSELF IN.
AND I WAS -- BAPTIZED IN
00:06:33.22\00:06:38.86
NOVEMBER OF '84. AND I
MET TY GIBSON, AND HE HAS
00:06:38.86\00:06:43.93
A SIMILAR BACKGROUND TO
MINE. WE BECAME FAST FRIENDS.
00:06:43.93\00:06:48.57
YOU ARE ON FIRE. YOU ARE HOT.
00:06:48.57\00:06:50.94
YOU HAVE DONE ALL OF THIS
STUDYING, AND PEOPLE ARE SAYING,
00:06:50.94\00:06:54.88
HEY, YOU SHOULD COME TO OUR
CHURCH AND DO THIS THAT AND THE
00:06:54.88\00:06:58.51
OTHER, AND I THINK IN '86 LIGHT
BEARERS MINISTRY WAS FORMED.
00:06:58.51\00:07:06.62
>> SO YOU TOOK OFF
QUICK. >> YEAH, WE MADE A LOT OF
00:07:06.62\00:07:10.09
MISTAKES ALONG THE WAY.-GETTING
IT WRONG HERE AND THERE, BUT IT
WAS GOOD, BECAUSE WHEN WE
00:07:10.09\00:07:21.54
REALIZED WE GOT IT WRONG,
WE SAID, HEY, PLEASE HELP US.
00:07:21.54\00:07:27.78
AND THEY DID. AND WE
HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY
00:07:27.78\00:07:30.88
STRONGLY WITH THE
CHURCH FOR 30 YEARS NOW.
00:07:30.88\00:07:32.88
>> PRAISE THE LORD THAT THE
CHURCH WAS REDEMPTIVE ENOUGH TO
00:07:32.88\00:07:43.09
NUTURE YOU, AND THAT YOU WERE
WISE ENOUGH AND HUMBLE ENOUGH TO
00:07:43.09\00:07:47.60
ASK FOR THE HELP. >> PRAISE GOD.
00:07:47.60\00:07:50.27
>> SO THE MINISTRY HAS
GROWN. ONE OF THE SHOWS THAT HAS
00:07:50.27\00:07:55.24
DEVELOPED A LARGE AND
LOYAL FOLLOWING TABLE TALK HERE.
00:07:55.24\00:07:59.21
PEOPLE LIKE THAT. YOU,
TY, DAVID, AND JEFFERY, AND
00:07:59.21\00:08:05.01
VERY WELL DONE. >> THANK YOU.
00:08:05.01\00:08:06.65
>> THE NEW -- WELL, THEY ARE NOT
NEW NOW, BUT THEY HAVE BEEN OUT
00:08:06.65\00:08:10.82
A COUPLE OF YEARS, BUT THE BIBLE
STUDY SERIES REALLY WELL DONE,
00:08:10.82\00:08:16.99
AND BEING WELL RECEIVED. >>
DON'T FORGET ABOUT SALVATION
00:08:16.99\00:08:21.90
OF SYMBOLS AND SIGNS. I
KNOW THERE ISN'T DARE TO
00:08:21.90\00:08:25.67
DREAM, BUT I WANT TO
PUT THAT UP FOR YVONNE.
00:08:25.67\00:08:28.70
THAT HAS BEEN
GOING ON FOR A YEAR.
00:08:28.70\00:08:30.64
WE'RE GOING TO BE
HERE IN MARCH TO DO DANIEL.
00:08:30.64\00:08:33.38
>> YEAH, WE HAVE SALVATION
SYMBOLS AND SIGNS ON PROCLAIM!.
00:08:33.38\00:08:39.81
>> AMEN. AND ON
DARE TO DREAM IT'S ON
00:08:39.81\00:08:42.18
EVERY DAY. >>
THAT'S A GOOD SHOW.
00:08:42.18\00:08:44.45
WELL DONE AND --
AND -- AND A GOOD WATCH.
00:08:44.45\00:08:49.26
IT'S GOOD TELEVISION. >> AMEN.
00:08:49.26\00:08:52.93
>> THE WAY YOU APPROACH IT,
IF YOU'RE AN ADVANCED STUDENT OF
00:08:52.93\00:08:57.90
THE WORD YOU GET SOMETHING, IF
YOU ARE A NEO-FITE IT FEEDS YOU
00:08:57.90\00:09:10.38
THERE TOO. >> AMEN.
00:09:10.38\00:09:12.25
AND I'M ACTUALLY
STAYING HOME NOW.
00:09:12.25\00:09:14.35
I HAVE BEEN TRAVELING FOR 30
YEARS PLUS, GOING ALL OVER THE
00:09:14.35\00:09:18.92
WORLD. I FINALLY
BEEN CONVICTED THAT
00:09:18.92\00:09:22.09
YOU KNOW WHAT, JAMES, IT WOULD
BE GOOD FOR YOU TO PASS SOME OF
00:09:22.09\00:09:26.09
THIS STUFF ON
THAT YOU HAVE LEARNED.
00:09:26.09\00:09:28.56
YOU HAVE MET ALL KINDS
OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE, STUDIED
00:09:28.56\00:09:33.44
DIFFERENT DOCTRINES AND
MET ISSUES, AND GAINED A LOT OF
00:09:33.44\00:09:38.14
EXPERIENCE. AND
EVERY YEAR WE HAVE AN ARISE
00:09:38.14\00:09:42.24
PROGRAM IN THE
UNITED STATES AND AUSTRALIA.
00:09:42.24\00:09:44.85
AUSTRALIA RISE JUST
KICKED OFF 42 STUDENTS.
00:09:44.85\00:09:48.05
WE HAVE THAT ON THE GOLD COAST,
AND ON THE THE U.S. ARISE BEGINS
00:09:48.05\00:09:54.99
IN AUGUST. >> UH-HUH.
00:09:54.99\00:09:56.79
>> AND WE HAVE, WHAT, 40,
50, 60, 70, TO 80 STUDENTS THAT
00:09:56.79\00:10:04.07
WE'RE PUTTING THROUGH A
TRAINING-EXPERIENCE. AND OUT OF
THAT, THIS YEAR, WE
00:10:04.07\00:10:08.84
BROUGHT BACK 12, AND WE DECIDED
WE WANT TO POUR MORE INTO THESE
00:10:08.84\00:10:13.17
12 IN A DISCIPLESHIP MINISTRY.
SO I'M NOT GOING TO BE TRAVELING
00:10:13.17\00:10:18.98
ANYMORE EXCEPT FOR 3ABN,
THAT'S A PRIORITY FOR ME.
00:10:18.98\00:10:24.72
>> AND WE THANK YOU FOR THAT.
>> I WANTED TO SAY THAT WITH A
00:10:24.72\00:10:29.92
PAUSE. >> APPROPRIATE APPLAUSE.
00:10:29.92\00:10:32.09
>> A PAUSE, NOT APPLAUSE.
BUT PRIMARILY BECAUSE I'LL GO
00:10:32.09\00:10:37.80
FROM PLACE TO PLACE TO PLACE
TO PLACE TO PLACE AND MEET WITH
00:10:37.80\00:10:42.34
DIFFERENT PEOPLE, BUT NEVER
GET TO DO A PROLONGED EXPERIENCE
00:10:42.34\00:10:46.57
WITH ANY GROUP OF PEOPLE.
AND AS I HAVE CORRECTED WITH
00:10:46.57\00:10:50.01
THESE GUYS AND GIRLS,
IT HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE.
00:10:50.01\00:10:53.11
IT HAS BEEN A GREAT EXPERIENCE.
IT'S TWO WEEKS OLD RIGHT NOW.
00:10:53.11\00:10:57.59
BUT I FEEL VERY COMFORTABLE.
JESUS SPENT, YOU KNOW, THREE AND
00:10:57.59\00:11:03.16
A HALF YEARS OF
MINISTRY WITH 12 GUYS.
00:11:03.16\00:11:07.50
>> EXACTLY. >> AND
THAT'S WHERE GOD IS
00:11:07.50\00:11:10.17
CALLING TO ME, WE WANT TO BRING
PASTORS AND OTHERS INTO THIS IN
00:11:10.17\00:11:13.80
OUR AREA, BUT I THINK WHAT WOULD
BE SUPER IF IN OTHER AREAS,
00:11:13.80\00:11:18.31
PEOPLE GOT A HOLD OF THIS IDEA,
RETIRED PASTORS THAT THEY HAVE
00:11:18.31\00:11:22.54
GOT A LOT OF WEALTH AND
KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE THAT
00:11:22.54\00:11:28.95
THEY CAN POUR INTO PEOPLE.
AND I TELL THE CLASS, I SAY
00:11:28.95\00:11:33.15
TABLE TALK WITH JEFFERY AND
DAVID AND TY AND MYSELF IS A
00:11:33.15\00:11:36.86
HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION. WE
COME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD,
00:11:36.86\00:11:39.83
PUT ON THE MAKEUP, THE LIGHTS,
SIT DOWN, AND THEN WE'RE GONE.
00:11:39.83\00:11:44.33
AND THEN I SAID TO HIS
GUYS, I SAID THIS IS REALITY TV.
00:11:44.33\00:11:49.77
THIS IS REALITY TABLE TALK.
WE'RE JUST DOING LIFE TOGETHER.
00:11:49.77\00:11:53.84
SO IT'S REALITY TABLE
TALK. >> YEAH, WELL DONE.
00:11:53.84\00:11:57.65
YOU KNOW, AS YOU GET ALONG
IN -- IN MINISTRY, YOU -- YOU
00:11:57.65\00:12:02.35
REALIZE THAT YOU HAVE GOT SOME
STUFF -- I WAS TALKING WITH MARK
00:12:02.35\00:12:08.92
FINLEY ON THE SAME THING.
YOU MEET GROUPS, AND PEOPLE, BUT
00:12:08.92\00:12:12.46
YOU WANT TO LEAVE
A LITTLE WAKE THERE.
00:12:12.46\00:12:19.13
>> PAUL DID IT
WITH TIMOTHY. >> UH-HUH.
00:12:19.13\00:12:21.57
>> YOU ARE PASTORING
NOW. >> YEAH, PART-TIME.
00:12:21.57\00:12:25.37
SO IT'S A LOCAL
CHURCH FALL CREEK.
00:12:25.37\00:12:29.34
RIGHT IN MY AREA. I WAS
PASTORING ABOUT TWO HOURS
00:12:29.34\00:12:33.95
AWAY, AND THAT WAS A GREAT
EXPERIENCE, BUT A LITTLE BIT OF
00:12:33.95\00:12:40.49
TRAVEL. BUT TY
AND I LOVE PASTORING.
00:12:40.49\00:12:42.72
AND IT WAS A NATURAL FIT FOR ME.
SO I LOVE INVESTING IN PEOPLE,
00:12:42.72\00:12:49.10
WORKING THROUGH ISSUES WITH
THEM, HELPING THEM, PASSING OUT
00:12:49.10\00:12:53.17
KNOWLEDGE, PRAYING TOGETHER FOR
LIFE'S WISDOM, LIFE COACHING.
00:12:53.17\00:12:57.81
MAYBE I DON'T ALWAYS HAVE AN
ANSWER, BUT PEOPLE NEED PEOPLE.
00:12:57.81\00:13:02.38
TELEVISION IS
GREAT, VIDEO IS GOOD.
00:13:02.38\00:13:05.05
FACEBOOK IS FANS -- FANTASTIC,
TWITTER IS AMAZING AS FAR AS
00:13:05.05\00:13:13.49
DROPPING NUGGETS TO GET PEOPLE
INTERESTED, BUT THERE IS NOTHING
00:13:13.49\00:13:17.03
THAT CAN REPLACE
PEOPLE-TO-PEOPLE MINISTRY.
00:13:17.03\00:13:19.33
>> EXACTLY. >> YOU
HAVE GOT TO HAVE IT.
00:13:19.33\00:13:22.23
>> THERE WILL NEVER BE A
TIME WHEN IT IS NOT NECESSARY.
00:13:22.23\00:13:24.77
>> AMEN. >> WHERE
PEOPLE ARE NOT PEOPLE.
00:13:24.77\00:13:28.04
AND SOMETIMES
JUST A SOUNDINGBOARD.
00:13:28.04\00:13:30.07
I NEED TO HEAR SOMEBODY SAY
SOMETHING JUST TO BOUNCE THIS
00:13:30.07\00:13:33.27
OFF OF SOMEBODY. AND
WHEN I CAME OUT OF SCHOOL, I
00:13:33.27\00:13:36.95
THOUGHT I HAVE MY DEGREE I
CAN SOLVE EVERYBODY'S PROBLEMS.
00:13:36.95\00:13:41.38
SECOND WEEK OF MINISTRY
THAT WENT OUT THE WINDOW.
00:13:41.38\00:13:45.42
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> I
TELL THESE GUYS THEY ARE
00:13:45.42\00:13:48.22
ALL BROKE AND DYSFUNCTIONAL
FROM MANY ANGLES, AND I'M TOO.
00:13:48.22\00:13:53.63
AND I SAID GOD IS USING
OUR BROKENNESS TO ECLIPSE US IN
00:13:53.63\00:13:59.73
MINISTRY. SO YOU CAN USE THOSE
00:13:59.73\00:14:04.34
DYSFUNCTIONS AND ALLOW THEM
TO BE EXPERIENCES WHERE YOU HAVE
00:14:04.34\00:14:07.08
LEARNED AND GROWN, AND
THEY BECOME WEAPONS, IF YOU
00:14:07.08\00:14:13.18
WILL -- TOOLS, TO MINISTER.
AND AS I SAYS IN ROMAN'S 8:28,
00:14:13.18\00:14:20.72
TO WORK ALL
THINGS TOGETHER. >> YEAH.
00:14:20.72\00:14:23.19
>> SO YOU CAN COMFORT OTHRS
WITH THE COMFORT YOU HAVE BEEN
00:14:23.19\00:14:27.40
COMFORTED WITH. >> AND
YOU LEARN QUICKLY THAT IT
00:14:27.40\00:14:29.90
IS NOT YOUR JOB TO SOLVE
ANYONE'S PROBLEMS, IT IS YOUR
00:14:29.90\00:14:34.50
JOB POINT THEM
TO CHRIST. >> AMEN.
00:14:34.50\00:14:36.77
>> WE ARE KIND OF
LOSING OUR FUNCTION HERE.
00:14:36.77\00:14:40.24
>> OH, WE'LL
BRING IT BACK. >> YEAH.
00:14:40.24\00:14:44.91
THE IDEA THAT I HAVE AN
ANSWER FOR YOU IS NOT REALISTIC.
00:14:44.91\00:14:48.55
CHRIST HAS THE
ANSWER FOR BOTH OF US.
00:14:48.55\00:14:51.55
>> MAIN. >> IN
HELL NO ONE IS GOING TO
00:14:51.55\00:14:55.12
ASK HOW DID YOU GET HERE?
NO ONE IS GOING TO ASK THAT
00:14:55.12\00:14:58.56
QUESTION BECAUSE
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
00:14:58.56\00:15:00.46
NOR DOES IT MATTER WHAT YOUR
PROBLEM IS, BECAUSE THE ANSWER
00:15:00.46\00:15:03.13
TO ALL OF THE
PROBLEMS THE SAME, IT'S JESUS.
00:15:03.13\00:15:06.70
>> AMEN. >> SO THE
DEPTH OR STRENGTH OF
00:15:06.70\00:15:11.71
THE PROBLEM IS NOT A QUESTION
THAT CHRIST WOULD ASK, BECAUSE
00:15:11.71\00:15:14.54
HE HAS THE ANSWER. SO MY
JOB AS PASTOR IS TO POINT
00:15:14.54\00:15:21.48
YOU TO JESUS. >>
HE HA THE ANSWER.
00:15:21.48\00:15:23.62
>> SERMON OVER. >> SERMON OVER.

GOOD TO TALK TO YOU, MAN.
00:15:24.99\00:15:28.79
>> YOU TOO. >>
REALLY APPRECIATE YOU, YOUR
00:15:28.79\00:15:32.29
WORK, THE GUYS --
WE REMEMBER THEM TOO.
00:15:32.29\00:15:34.50
>> AMEN. IF YOU WILL, PLEASE.
00:15:34.50\00:15:37.40
>> WE'RE GOING TO GO TO OUR
MUSIC, AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO
00:15:37.40\00:15:45.07
TAKE ABOUT
RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH.
00:15:45.07\00:15:48.01
I WANT TO READ THIS --
I SUSPECT YOU WROTE THIS.
00:15:48.01\00:15:52.88
I JUST BROKE MY GLASSES. OKAY.
00:15:52.88\00:15:56.65
IN THE PROGRAM TONIGHT
RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH.
00:15:56.65\00:15:59.25
IT SAYS IT CAN BE CONFUSING AND
EVEN SCARY TO SOME THE IDEA THAT
00:15:59.25\00:16:05.19
CHRIST IS OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
ONE OF THE FIRST BOOKS I BOUGHT
00:16:05.19\00:16:12.73
WAS CHRIST BY RIGHTEOUSNESS.
I DON'T KNOW IF I EVER FINISHED
00:16:12.73\00:16:20.88
IT. IT WAS KIND OF DAUNTING.
00:16:20.88\00:16:22.91
THESE ARE GONE. THESE ARE GONE.
00:16:22.91\00:16:25.08
OKAY. I'LL JUST BREAK THAT OFF.
00:16:25.08\00:16:26.45
>> THAT WILL WORK. I
HAVE A PAIR LIKE THAT, BY THE
00:16:26.45\00:16:30.62
WAY. >> THEN I
CAN DO THEM LIKE THIS,
00:16:30.62\00:16:32.79
AND GET SOME NEW ONES DURING
THE-pBREAK. WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
00:16:32.79\00:16:41.10
WHAT IS RIGHTEOUSNESS?
WHAT DOES RIGHTEOUSNESS LOOK
00:16:41.10\00:16:44.20
LIKE? WHEN I WAS
READING THIS BEFORE,
00:16:44.20\00:16:46.10
I WAS THINKING OF THAT
IMAGE OF A POLE VAULTER, AND
00:16:46.10\00:16:50.17
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THIS HIGH
BAR, AND WE RUN AND WE GO AND WE
00:16:50.17\00:16:53.54
PLANT THE POLE AND YOU GO UP --
AND JUST BELOW THE BAR -pKIND OF
00:16:53.54\00:16:59.21
THING, YOU KNOW? WE SEE IT AS
THIS BAR TO BE REACHED, WHEN WE
00:16:59.21\00:17:03.42
LOOK AT IT LIKE THAT, IT IS
DAUNTING. HOW DO I EVER GET OVER
00:17:03.42\00:17:08.32
THAT BAR? AND SO WE GET A CHANCE
TO DELVE INTO THAT IDEA TONIGHT.
00:17:08.32\00:17:13.36

BE TALKING ABOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS
00:22:20.10\00:22:26.78
FAITH AND ASPECTS THEREOF.
I'M GOING TO LET YOU LOOSE AND
00:22:26.78\00:22:30.38

FOR THIS SERIES. >>
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE
00:23:12.09\00:23:17.19
CONFESSION IS? >> I
GUESS I SHOULD NOT ASSUME
00:23:17.19\00:23:25.20
SO. CHARLES THE FIFTH ASKED THE
00:23:25.20\00:23:28.27
ELECTORS AND THE PEOPLE OF
GERMANY TO COME TOGETHER AND TO
00:23:28.27\00:23:35.38
CODIFY FOR THEM
THEIR BELIEF SYSTEMS.
00:23:35.38\00:23:37.18
HE DID THIS IN ABOUT 1527 OR 28.
00:23:37.18\00:23:43.55
THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE WAS COMING
FROM THE EAST, AND HE NEEDED A
00:23:43.55\00:23:47.72
BODY OF WORK TO TRY TO BRING
HIS KINGDOM TOGETHER TO STOP THE
00:23:47.72\00:23:52.56
ADVANCE OF THE OTTOMANS, SO THEY
CAME TOGETHER, AND THEY CAME
00:23:52.56\00:23:58.50
WITH THIS TREATISE, THIS THESIS,
28 ARTICLES OF BELIEF THAT
00:23:58.50\00:24:05.91
BECAME THE BASE OF
BELIEF FOR THE LOUTHURN CHURCH.
00:24:05.91\00:24:20.22
AND FIVE YEARS LATER, COUNCIL
OF TRENT WAS CONVENED TO TRY TO
00:24:20.22\00:24:25.43
COUNTERACT THIS -- >>
THIS IS PROTESTANTISM.
00:24:25.43\00:24:33.94
>> INDEED. MAN
CANNOT BE JUSTIFIED THROUGH
00:24:33.94\00:24:37.64
GOD THROUGH OUR OWN ABILITIES,
WE ARE WHOLLY RELIANT ON JESUS
00:24:37.64\00:24:44.35
CHRIST FOR
RECONCILIATION WITH GOD.
00:24:44.35\00:24:49.18
THIS IS THE ONE ARTICLE
THAT STANDS BEFORE THE CHURCH IN
00:24:49.18\00:24:53.72
WHICH IT WILL STAND OR FALL.
AND MOST OF CHRISTIANITY BOUGHT
00:24:53.72\00:24:58.43
INTO THIS. AND IT
BECAME THE ANIMUS FOR THE
00:24:58.43\00:25:03.57
COUNTER REFORMATION AND WHAT
HAPPENED FOR THE NEXT 18 YEARS
00:25:03.57\00:25:08.07
BY THE CATHOLIC CHUCH. SO
YOUR STUDY IS KIND OF UNIQUE.
00:25:08.07\00:25:13.04
SO LET ME LET YOU LOOSE.
>> JEREMIAH 23:6 IS OUR KEY
00:25:13.04\00:25:23.85
VERSE. I LIKE THE
CONTEXT BECAUSE WE'RE
00:25:23.85\00:25:26.76
TALKING ABOUT PASTORAL MINISTRY,
AND THIS IS REFERRING TO THAT,
00:25:26.76\00:25:31.03
AND I WANT US TO SEE THE
CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO.
00:25:31.03\00:25:36.30
JEREMIAH 23:1, THEREFOR THE
LORD, FEED MY PEOPLE, YOU HAVE
00:25:36.30\00:25:47.98
SCATTERED MY FLOCK HAVE NOT
VISITED THEM, AND I WILL GATHER
00:25:47.98\00:25:52.81
THE REMNANT OF MY FLOCK, VERSUS
3, WHETHER I HAVE DRIVEN THEM,
00:25:52.81\00:25:57.99
AND WILL BRING THEM TO THEIR
FOLDS AND SET UP SHEPHERDS OVER
00:25:57.99\00:26:05.26
THEM THAT WILL FEED THEM,
AND THEY WILL FEAR NO MORE.
00:26:05.26\00:26:09.46
BEHOLD THE DAY HAS COME SAYS
THE LORD, I'M ADDING A PART, THE
00:26:09.46\00:26:14.37
DAYS HAVE COME SAYS THE LORD,
THAT I WILL RAISE UP UNDER DAVID
00:26:14.37\00:26:21.08
A RIGHTEOUSNESS BRANCH.
AND IN HIS DAY JUDAS SHALL WILL
00:26:21.08\00:26:28.82
SAVED, AND THIS IS THE NAME
BY WHICH HE SHALL BE CALLED THE
00:26:28.82\00:26:33.89
LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. SO
THIS KEY VERSE IS TELLING US
00:26:33.89\00:26:37.96
THAT THIS MESSAGE THE LORD OUR
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS KE TO PASTORAL
00:26:37.96\00:26:42.70
MINISTRY, TO SEEDING THE FLOCK,
TO BRINGING THE FLOCK TOGETHER
00:26:42.70\00:26:46.40
AND NOT HAVING THEM SCATTER.
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS VERY SCARY,
00:26:46.40\00:26:51.04
BECAUSE
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHT DOING.
00:26:51.04\00:26:52.84
THAT'S WHAT IT
MEANS RIGHT DOING.
00:26:52.84\00:26:55.41
SO WHEN YOU DEFINE RIGHTEOUSNESS
AS RIGHT DOING, PEOPLE GET
00:26:55.41\00:26:59.65
NERVOUS, BECAUSE WE ALL
RECOGNIZE AND UNDERSTAND THAT WE
00:26:59.65\00:27:02.75
ARE NOT NATURALLY
INCLINED TO RIGHT DOING.
00:27:02.75\00:27:06.09
>> TRUE. >>
WEDON'T NATURALLY RIGHT DO.
00:27:06.09\00:27:08.89
BUT THERE IS A
PERSON WHO HAS RIGHT DONE.
00:27:08.89\00:27:11.99
THERE IS A PERSON WHO LIVED
A LIFE COMPLETELY FILLED WITH
00:27:11.99\00:27:16.03
RIGHTEOUSNESS, WITH RIGHT
DOING, AND THAT IS JESUS CHRIST.
00:27:16.03\00:27:19.27
HE NEVER SINNED. >> YES.
00:27:19.27\00:27:22.34
>> NOT ONCE. SO JESUS
CHRIST CAME AS A HUMAN
00:27:22.34\00:27:25.77
BEING AND LIVED THIS PERFECT
LIFE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO FILL UP
00:27:25.77\00:27:29.64
THE LAW. HE FILLED
UP THE REQUIREMENTS OF
00:27:29.64\00:27:32.41
THE LAW ON BEHALF
OF THE HUMAN RACE.
00:27:32.41\00:27:37.62
THAT'S WHY HE BECAME A MAN.
HE WAS THE SECOND MAN OR THE
00:27:37.62\00:27:42.46
SECOND ADAM, SO HE STARTED A
WHOLE NEW HUMAN EXISTENCE, AND
00:27:42.46\00:27:46.90
WHEN WE ARE BORN AGAIN
-- BECAUSE WE'RE NATURALLY
00:27:46.90\00:27:49.70
BORN OF THE FIRST ADAM, AND
WE INHERIT FROM THE FIRST ADAM A
00:27:49.70\00:27:55.70
DISPOSITION TO DISOBEY GOD,
BUT WHEN WE ARE BORN AGAIN, WE
00:27:55.70\00:28:00.68
RECEIVE A NEW LIFE, A NEW HEART,
AND WE'RE BORN FROM THE SECOND
00:28:00.68\00:28:05.31
ADAM, AND WE DON'T INHERIT
ANYTHING FROM HIM THAT TENDS
00:28:05.31\00:28:10.82
TOWARDS DISOBESANCE. HE
DID GOD'S WILL NOT HIS OWN
00:28:10.82\00:28:15.19
WILL ALL THE TIME, SO WHEN WE'RE
BORN OF THAT, THAT'S WHAT WE GET
00:28:15.19\00:28:18.96
FROM HIM. BUT THE
CONFLICT IS THE SECOND
00:28:18.96\00:28:22.16
ADAM'S DNA IS STILL IN US.
AND THEN YOU HAVE THE NEW MAN,
00:28:22.16\00:28:26.97
THE SPIRIT, AND THIS NEW
CREATION IS TAKING PLACE, AND
00:28:26.97\00:28:31.24
PAUL SAYS?
GALATIANS CHAPTER 5 THAT THEY
00:28:31.24\00:28:37.01
ARE FIGHTING AGAINST EACH OTHER,
AND WE STRUGGLE AND AT THE CORE
00:28:37.01\00:28:40.85
OF THE STRUGGLE IS
RIGHTEOUSNESS, RIGHT DOING.
00:28:40.85\00:28:43.32
>> YES. UH-HUH.
00:28:43.32\00:28:44.85
>> SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE
SUBJECT, IT BECOMES REALLY
00:28:44.85\00:28:48.49
DIFFICULT FOR US, BECAUSE WE
HAVE TO SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE
00:28:48.49\00:28:52.83
UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT
IT MEANS THAT THE LORD IS OUR
00:28:52.83\00:28:57.60
RIGHTEOUSNESS. WE
KNOW HE HAS DONE RIGHT.
00:28:57.60\00:28:59.53
HE IS THE RIGHT DOER. BUT
HOW DOES THAT EQUATE TO US?
00:28:59.53\00:29:04.97
SOME SAY HE DID RIGHT, AND
HIS EXAMPLE AND HIS LIFE SHOW US
00:29:04.97\00:29:10.35
WHAT WE SHOULD DO
RIGHT. SO HE IS THE LORD OFF
00:29:10.35\00:29:13.92
RIGHTEOUSNESS WHEN WE DO
RIGHT THE WAY HE DID RIGHT.
00:29:13.92\00:29:16.62
>> UH-HUH. >> THAT'S ONE POINT.
00:29:16.62\00:29:18.75
THAT'S ONE IDEA. AND
THEN YOU HAVE ABOUT A
00:29:18.75\00:29:23.73
BILLION CHRISTIANS, GIVE OR TAKE
THAT -- WELL, THEY UNDERSTAND
00:29:23.73\00:29:26.80
THAT JESUS IS THE SAVIOR AND HE
HAS COME TO JUSTIFY US, BUT AS
00:29:26.80\00:29:35.30
FAR AS THE REST OF IT GOES, WE
NEED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE WHOLE
00:29:35.30\00:29:42.14
EQUATION. AND IF
WE CAN'T DO IT IN THIS
00:29:42.14\00:29:44.28
LIFE, THERE IS ANOTHER OPTION,
CALLED PURGATORY WHERE WE CAN
00:29:44.28\00:29:50.55
GET THINGS WORKED OUT.
BUT QUESTION HAVE TO MERIT OUR
00:29:50.55\00:29:56.22
SALVATION. SO
THERE'S THIS -- AND ME,
00:29:56.22\00:30:01.36
COMING OUT OF THE CATHOLIC FAITH
THAT WHOLE UNDERSTANDING WAS
00:30:01.36\00:30:05.80
INGRAINED IN ME. I
COULD GO TO CHURCH, SAY MY
00:30:05.80\00:30:10.21
CONFESSION, DO MY PENANCE
AND THEN I WOULD CONSIDER MYSELF
00:30:10.21\00:30:14.04
CLEAN. AND WHEN I
BECAME A PROTESTANT,
00:30:14.04\00:30:23.12
I BECAME BECAUSE I REALIZED
AFTER 21 YEARS I DIDN'T GET THIS
00:30:23.12\00:30:28.09
RIGHT. AND THE
WAY I DEAL WITH MY
00:30:28.09\00:30:30.96
FAILURES IS I GO GET THE BOTTLE,
I GO GET THE DRUGS, YOU KNOW, I
00:30:30.96\00:30:35.86
TRY TO NUMB THE PAIN THROUGH
ALL OF THESE DIFFERENT KINDS OF
00:30:35.86\00:30:40.90
MEDICATIONS. AND
FINALLY IT WAS DAWNING ON ME
00:30:40.90\00:30:43.91
THEY NEEDED A
RIGHTEOUSNESS OUTSIDE OF MYSELF.
00:30:43.91\00:30:45.81
>> UH-HUH. >> THE
BIBLE TEACHES THAT CHRIST
00:30:45.81\00:30:50.11
IS THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS.
AND WE USE THIS PHRASE A LOT,
00:30:50.11\00:30:52.85
SAVED BY THE BLOOD. BUT
WE DON'T ALWAYS UNDERSTAND
00:30:52.85\00:30:56.08
THE FULL
IMPLICATIONS OF THAT STATEMENT.
00:30:56.08\00:30:58.45
THE BLOOD WE KNOW AND UNDERSTAND
INITIALLY IS THE DEATH OF JESUS.
00:30:58.45\00:31:03.12
HE SPILLED HIS BLOOD FOR US,
SO WE COULD BE FORBIDDEN, BUTTHE
00:31:03.12\00:31:08.80
LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD. >> YES.
00:31:08.80\00:31:11.03
>> ACCORDING TO ROMANCE 5:6-10,
WE'RE ALSO SAVED BY HIS LIFE.
00:31:11.03\00:31:17.84
BECAUSE SALVATION AND
RIGHTEOUSNESS GO HAND IN HAND.
00:31:17.84\00:31:20.81
>> AND IT'S THEIR MARRYING OF
THE TWO THAT MAKES IT SO UNIQUE.
00:31:20.81\00:31:25.28
SO THE MERITS OF THE DEATH ARE
GIVEN US TO THROUGH THE LIFE OR
00:31:25.28\00:31:29.15
THE MINISTRY THAT
IS ONGOING. >> YES.
00:31:29.15\00:31:31.72
>> YEAH. >> SO
WE FIND OURSELVES AS
00:31:31.72\00:31:35.92
BIBLE-BELIEVING CHRISTIANS SAVED
BY THE PERFECT LIFE OF JESUS AND
00:31:35.92\00:31:42.16
THE
SUBSTITUTIONARY DEATH OF JESUS.
00:31:42.16\00:31:43.87
>> CORRECT. >> I
WANTED TO LAY THAT AS A
00:31:43.87\00:31:47.04
FOUNDATION IN ORDER FOR US
TO GET INTO OUR -- OUR BASIC
00:31:47.04\00:31:51.11
OUTLINE TONIGHT, BECAUSE CA,
WHAT I WOULD LIKE US TO DO IS GO
00:31:51.11\00:31:55.44
THROUGH THE BIBLE AND FIND THE
VERY BEST HUMAN RIGHTEOUSNESS
00:31:55.44\00:31:58.25
THAT WE CAN FIND. AND
I THINK WE CAN DO THIS IN
00:31:58.25\00:32:01.72
FOUR PEOPLE. TWO IN
THE OLD TEST AND TWO IN
00:32:01.72\00:32:06.32
THE NEW TESTAMENT. HERE
IS THE WORD WE'RE GOING TO
00:32:06.32\00:32:13.13
ESTABLISH TONIGHT. EVEN
IF WE COULD FND THE VERY
00:32:13.13\00:32:17.03
BEST RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE BIBLE,
IT WOULDN'T BE GOOD ENOUGH TO
00:32:17.03\00:32:20.07
STAND UP AGAINST THE
STANDARD OF THE LAW OF GOD.
00:32:20.07\00:32:22.97
THE LAW OF GOD IS OUR STANDARD.
SO STANDARD IN THE JUDGMENT
00:32:22.97\00:32:29.78
ACCORDING TO JAMES. SO
WE DON'T WANT TO COME TO THE
00:32:29.78\00:32:33.21
CONCLUSION, WE'RE SAVED BY
THE PERFECT LIFE OF JESUS AND
00:32:33.21\00:32:39.19
SUBSEQUENT DEATH OF JESUS WE'RE
SAVED, SO WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE
00:32:39.19\00:32:49.70
WANT. ROMANS 3,
LOVE IS THE FILLING OF
00:32:49.70\00:32:59.47
THE LAW. LOVE YOUR
BROTHER, YOU FULFILL
00:32:59.47\00:33:02.38
THE LAW. SO THE
LOVE AND LAW GO HAND IN
00:33:02.38\00:33:06.28
HAND. BUT AS WE
GO THROUGH THE BIBLE,
00:33:06.28\00:33:08.52
AND WE FIND THE VERY BEST HUMAN
-RIGHTEOUSNESS OUTSIDE OF CHRIST
THAT WE CAN FINE -- AND WHAT I
00:33:08.52\00:33:14.72
MEAN BY THAT, IT'S NOT SEPARATE
FROM CHRIST IN THE SENSE THAT IT
00:33:14.72\00:33:18.33
ISN'T BY HIS GRACE, BUT EVEN BY
THE GRACE OF GOD, WHEN WE FIND
00:33:18.33\00:33:22.76
THE VERY BEST RIGHTEOUSNESS
WE CAN FIND, GUESS WHAT IN
00:33:22.76\00:33:25.50
>> FALLS SHORT.
>> IT FALLS SHORT.
00:33:25.50\00:33:27.74
>> YEAH. >> IT FALLS SHORT.
00:33:27.74\00:33:29.47
>> YEAH. >> AND
HERE IS THE DEAL -- AND I
00:33:29.47\00:33:31.77
WANT OUR VIEWERS TO
SEE IF THEY CATCH THIS.
00:33:31.77\00:33:34.61
THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE EXAMPLE
OF THE FOUR PEOPLE, JOB, DANIEL,
00:33:34.61\00:33:42.85
PAUL, AND WE'RE GOING TO
LOOK AT JOHN NEW TESTAMENT.
00:33:42.85\00:33:47.49
BECAUSE THESE GUYS
EXEMPLIFY RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:33:47.49\00:33:50.29
I MEAN YOU LOOK AT THEIR
LIVES -- IF THE WHOLE BIBLE WAS
00:33:50.29\00:33:54.66
DANIEL, I WOULD JUST
TURN AROUND AND GIVE UP.
00:33:54.66\00:33:57.13
AND THANKFULLY WE HAVE DAVID,
MOSES, SAMPSON, PETER -- YOU
00:33:57.13\00:34:01.97
KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? >> YEAH.
00:34:01.97\00:34:04.51
>> DANIEL SEEMS
SUPER NATURAL TO ME.
00:34:04.51\00:34:09.64
HIM AND ENOCH,
IT'S LIKE SEE YOU LATER.
00:34:09.64\00:34:16.58
[ LAUGHTER ] >>
BUT EVEN WITH THE BEST
00:34:16.58\00:34:19.59
EXAMPLES OF HUMAN RIGHTEOUSNESS
BY THE GRACE OF GOD, IT STILL
00:34:19.59\00:34:23.53
FALLS SHORT OF THE STANDARD
OF PERFECT RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHICH
00:34:23.53\00:34:26.93
MEANS WE'RE DISQUALIFIED.
THE VERY BEST OF US ARE
00:34:26.93\00:34:32.13
DISQUALIFIED.
THIS IS WHAT THE ENTIRE
00:34:32.13\00:34:35.67
NARRATIVE OF SCRIPTURE TEACHES.
AND BECAUSE OF THAT, JESUS
00:34:35.67\00:34:39.77
CHRIST HAS TO BY THE
LORD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:34:39.77\00:34:47.62
WE'RE GOING TO SEE
IT IN DANIEL AND JOB.
00:34:47.62\00:34:50.32
>> IF YOU WERE LEFT WITH
THAT, YOU WOULD END UP BEING
00:34:50.32\00:34:54.26
DEPRESSED. IT'S
LIKE THERE IS THIS GOAL.
00:34:54.26\00:34:56.76
I CAN'T DO
THAT. I CAN'T BE THAT.
00:34:56.76\00:34:59.93
THAT WOULD BE DEPRESSING.
JUST STAY IN BED, PULL UP THE
00:34:59.93\00:35:05.23
COVERS, BUT LUCKILY CHRIST WORKS
WITH US, THROUGH US, FOR US.
00:35:05.23\00:35:10.54
>> YEAH, WE WOULD BE
DEPRESSED. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:35:10.54\00:35:14.14
>> BUT SOME OF US
WOULDN'T BE SO DEPRESSED.
00:35:14.14\00:35:17.58
SOME OF US WOULD BE PERFECTLY
COMFORTABLE, BECAUSE WE BELIEVE
00:35:17.58\00:35:21.85
THAT WE CAN AND ARE AND WILL BE
QUALIFIED TO BE RIGHTEOUSNESS,
00:35:21.85\00:35:25.79
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
>> WHICH IS SELF DECEPTION.
00:35:25.79\00:35:29.19
>> AND THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT ALSO.
00:35:29.19\00:35:32.13
AND AS WE END THIS PROGRAM, I
WANT US TO LOOK AT A VERSE THAT
00:35:32.13\00:35:35.63
CAN IDENTIFY FOR US -- REMIND
ME OF THIS LUKE 18 -- HOW WE CAN
00:35:35.63\00:35:41.80
KNOW IF WE'RE TRUSTING
OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, OR CHRIST
00:35:41.80\00:35:46.34
RIGHTEOUSNESS. BUT
LET'S GET INTO THE BIBLE
00:35:46.34\00:35:48.71
SOME MORE HERE. I WANT
US TO GET INTO THE BOOK
00:35:48.71\00:35:53.08
OF JOB. JOB 1 IS
WHERE WE'RE START.
00:35:53.08\00:35:55.65
AND JUST LOOK AT
A FEW CHAPTERS HERE.
00:35:55.65\00:35:58.25
HAH REMEMBER WE'RE GOING TO LOOK
AT FOUR EXAMPLES TWO IN THE NEW
00:35:58.25\00:36:02.36
AND TWO IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.
JOB 1, AND WHEN WE START
00:36:02.36\00:36:06.90
JOB -- I JUST WANT TO GIVE AN
OVERVIEW OF THE WHOLE STORY OF
00:36:06.90\00:36:12.07
JOB. SO JOB
BEGINS WITH THIS VERSE,
00:36:12.07\00:36:14.30
MAN IN THE LAND OF US WHO'S
NAME WAS JOB, AND THIS MAN WAS
00:36:14.30\00:36:19.91
PERFECT. THAT'S
WHAT KING JAMES SAYS.
00:36:19.91\00:36:22.11
>> I HAVE NEW KING
JAMES. >> WHAT DOES IT SAY?
00:36:22.11\00:36:25.11
>> THIS MAN WAS -- >> BLAMELESS?
00:36:25.11\00:36:28.15
>> UP RIGHT. >> UP RIGHT.
00:36:28.15\00:36:30.35
>> I'M SORRY,
PERFECT, BLAMELESS, UPRIGHT.
00:36:30.35\00:36:36.52
AND THE GUY HAS JUST SOLD
OUT FOR HIS FAMILY, HIS KIDS.
00:36:36.52\00:36:41.33
HE -- GETS WORRIED ABOUT THEM, I
MEAN WHAT PARENT DOESN'T, RIGHT?
00:36:41.33\00:36:46.10
AND HE IS WORRIED WHEN THEY HAVE
THESE PARTIES THAT MAYBE THEY
00:36:46.10\00:36:50.41
ARE NOT WHERE THEY SHOULD BE AND
DOING WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOIG,
00:36:50.41\00:36:53.88
SO HE GETS UP REALLY EARLY IN
THE MORNING AND PRAYS FOR EVERY
00:36:53.88\00:36:57.48
ONE OF THEM. THAT'S
THE CONTEXT OF JOB'S
00:36:57.48\00:37:01.92
RIGHTEOUSNESS. NOW IN
THAT CONTEXT, JOB, WE SEE
00:37:01.92\00:37:05.95
THIS BOOK SWITCH NOW TO A
DIFFERENT PLACE, CIRCUMSTANCE,
00:37:05.95\00:37:09.69
NARRATIVE, IT'S IN
HEAVEN. SATAN IS COMING.
00:37:09.69\00:37:13.09
AND GOD SAYS, HEY, SATAN
WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE?
00:37:13.09\00:37:16.67
I LIKE THE FACT THAT GOD
CHALLENGES SATAN, WHAT ARE YOU
00:37:16.67\00:37:20.17
DOING HERE? AND
SATAN IS CLAIMING THAT THE
00:37:20.17\00:37:24.51
EARTH IS HIS, AND GOD
SAYS NO. HE'S PERFECT.
00:37:24.51\00:37:29.34
THE GUY IS
PERFECT. THE GUY IS PERFECT.
00:37:29.34\00:37:33.98
OKAY? >> UH-HUH.
00:37:33.98\00:37:34.88
>> AND THROUGH THE WHOLE
PROCESS, JOB COMES TO A PLACE
00:37:34.88\00:37:37.62
WHERE HE IS
STRIPPED OF EVERYTHING.
00:37:37.62\00:37:40.62
HE LOSES HIS FAMILY, KIDS, HIS
WIFE IS STILL THERE, BUT SAYS
00:37:40.62\00:37:48.16
CURSE GOD AND DIE.
AND HE LOSES HIS HEALTH.
00:37:48.16\00:37:52.67
AND HIS FRIENDS COME AND AS SOON
AS THEY START TALKING THEOLOGY
00:37:52.67\00:37:58.44
IT'S OVER. AND HE
SAYS BE QUIET AND THAT
00:37:58.44\00:38:02.14
WILL BE MY COMFORT. SO
HE IS GOING THROUGH THIS
00:38:02.14\00:38:05.41
WHOLE EXPERIENCE, BECAUSE IN
HIS AFFLICTION, THE THEOLOGY IS
00:38:05.41\00:38:09.92
SAYING TO HIM THROUGH HIS
FRIENDS, LISTEN, IF YOU ARE
00:38:09.92\00:38:13.12
GOING THROUGH AFFLICTION, IT IS
BECAUSE YOU HAVE DONE SOMETHING
00:38:13.12\00:38:16.49
WRONG. AND
OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE BEING
00:38:16.49\00:38:20.96
CURSED. AND JOB
IS LIKE I KNOW WE ALL
00:38:20.96\00:38:23.83
LEARNED THIS TOGETHER, BUT I'M
EXPERIENCING SOMETHING HERE THAT
00:38:23.83\00:38:27.27
IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT
WE LEARNED FROM OUR PROFESSOR.
00:38:27.27\00:38:33.14
NOTHING HAS
CHANGED BETWEEN ME AND GOD.
00:38:33.14\00:38:34.84
I HAVE NOTICED WHEN THERE ARE
TIMES WHEN VIC -- WICKED PEOPLE
00:38:34.84\00:38:42.28
ACTUALLY PROSPER, AND IF THAT
IS THE CASE, COULD IT BE THAT
00:38:42.28\00:38:47.46
SOMETIMES
NON-WICKED PEOPLE PROS FER.
00:38:47.46\00:38:50.13
HIS FRIENDS ARE
NOT OPEN FOR A PAR
00:38:50.13\00:38:53.63
PAR PARADIGM SHIFT.
00:38:53.63\00:38:57.10
SO JOB IS STRUGGLING, AND YOU
GET TO ABOUT VERSE 29, JOB GOES
00:38:57.10\00:39:04.24
TO HIS FINAL -- HE IS TAKING
THE ACE OUT OF THE HOLE HERE.
00:39:04.24\00:39:08.71
IN JOB 29 HE BASICALLY SAYS, YOU
KNOW, I WISH THAT I WAS WALKING
00:39:08.71\00:39:13.65
IN THOSE DAYS OF MY YOUTH
WHEN THE ALL MIGHTY WAS WITH ME.
00:39:13.65\00:39:18.55
VERSE 5, WHEN I WENT OUT OF THE
GATE AND I SAT IN -- IN THE SEAT
00:39:18.55\00:39:24.36
WHERE THE WISEMEN SIT. VERSUS 8.
00:39:24.36\00:39:29.20
THE AGED MENSAH AND STOOD
UP, THE NOBLES HELD THEIR PEACE,
00:39:29.20\00:39:34.84
WHEN THE EAR HEARD ME IT BLESSED
ME, I DELIVERED THE POOR THAT
00:39:34.84\00:39:39.27
CRIED, THE FATHERLESS THAT HAD
NOTHING TO HELP THEM, I CAUSED
00:39:39.27\00:39:46.05
THE WIDOW'S HEART TO SING
FOR JOY, AND I WAS EYES TO THE
00:39:46.05\00:39:51.92
BLIND, FEET TO THE LAME,
FATHER TO THE POOR, THE CAUSE I
00:39:51.92\00:39:57.33
SEARCHED OUT. I BROKE
THE JAWS OF THE WICKED.
00:39:57.33\00:40:00.86
AND I PLUCKED THE
SPOIL OUT OF HIS TEETH.
00:40:00.86\00:40:03.23
I MEAN TIS GUY
WAS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:40:03.23\00:40:05.90
THAT'S THE POINT I'M
TRYING TO MAKE HERE IS.
00:40:05.90\00:40:07.77
THAT'S THE POINT THE
BIBLE IS MAKING HERE.
00:40:07.77\00:40:14.18
JOB WAS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
MAYBE SOMEONE -- BUT ME, NO, I
00:40:14.18\00:40:19.11
CAN'T TOUCH THIS.
BUT NOTICE WHAT HAPPENS.
00:40:19.11\00:40:22.68
AS JOB FINISHES UP, GOD ENTERS
INTO THE PICTURE, AND, YOU KNOW,
00:40:22.68\00:40:29.02
YOU HAVE GOT TO GET -- GO
BACK TO THE ORIGINAL HERE.
00:40:29.02\00:40:33.73
GOD HAS ALLOWED JOB TO BE TRIED
BECAUSE HE HAS A BIGGER PURPOSE
00:40:33.73\00:40:39.20
TAKING PLACE BEHIND THE SCENES
THAT JOB DOESN'T KNOW ABOUT.
00:40:39.20\00:40:42.90
AND THAT'S US. THERE
ARE VIEWERS CA WHO ARE
00:40:42.90\00:40:48.54
GOING THROUGH STRUGGLES AND
DIFFICULTIES, AND THEY DON'T
00:40:48.54\00:40:52.11
UNDERSTAND WHERE IS
GOD AND WHAT IS GOING ON?
00:40:52.11\00:40:55.22
THAT'S THE BOOK OF JOB.
AND SOMETIMES GOD CAN'T EXPLAIN
00:40:55.22\00:40:59.25
ALL OF THE DETAILS, OR
WE DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
00:40:59.25\00:41:02.89
JOB SAW IT, BUT HE WAS
STILL STRUGGLING WITH IT.
00:41:02.89\00:41:05.99
BUT GOD TRIES TO SHOW US, HEY,
LISTEN, I'M FIGHTING WITH SOME
00:41:05.99\00:41:11.60
STUFF HERE, AND IF YOU HAD TO
TACKLE WHAT I HAVE TO TACKLE IT
00:41:11.60\00:41:17.61
WOULD KNOCK YOU OUT AND
YOU WOULD NEVER GET UP AGAIN.
00:41:17.61\00:41:22.04
>> EXACTLY. >> AND
THEN IN JOB 40, GOD COMES
00:41:22.04\00:41:28.98
TO JOB AND SAYS -- THE LORD
ANSWERS JOB AND SAYS SHALL HE
00:41:28.98\00:41:34.12
THAT CONTENDS TO THE
ALL MIGHTY STRUCK HIM.
00:41:34.12\00:41:39.53
THEN JOB ANSWERED THE LORD
AND HE SAID, BEHOLD, I AM VIAL.
00:41:39.53\00:41:45.10
WHAT SHOULD I ANSWER
THEE. I WILL PROCEED NO FURTHER.
00:41:45.10\00:41:53.98
AND WHAT JOB IS SAYING HERE IS
THERE WAS A TIME IN JOB 9 WHEN
00:41:53.98\00:41:59.31
JOB SAID SOMETHING LIKE
THIS -- HE SAID, YOU KNOW, GOD
00:41:59.31\00:42:02.55
DOESN'T HEAR ME, AND IF HE DID,
HE WOULDN'T ANSWER ME, AND IF I
00:42:02.55\00:42:07.89
HAD CHANCE TO TAKE HIM TO
COURT, HE WOULDN'T SHOW UP.
00:42:07.89\00:42:12.53
>> UH-HUH. >>
ANOTHER THING I WANT TO GET
00:42:12.53\00:42:15.66
CLEAR HERE, GOD IS
BIG. HE HAS BIG SHOULDERS.
00:42:15.66\00:42:19.37
>> YOU KNOW, I WAS
HOLDING MY MOUTH --
00:42:19.37\00:42:22.30
>> YEAH, GO FOR IT. >>
THE FACT THAT GOD IS BIG
00:42:22.30\00:42:26.47
ENOUGH TO TAKE YOUR QUESTIONS.
GOD WILL EVEN ALLOW YOU TO SHAKE
00:42:26.47\00:42:31.11
YOUR FINGER. WHAT
YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IS
00:42:31.11\00:42:33.85
GIVE UP ON HIM.
>> AND WALK AWAY.
00:42:33.85\00:42:37.05
>> BUT GOD IS NOT SO PETTY
THAT YOU CA'T SAY, GOD, I DON'T
00:42:37.05\00:42:42.46
UNDERSTAND. THIS
MAKES NO SENSE TO ME.
00:42:42.46\00:42:44.93
I WON'T GIVE UP, BUT
I'M GOING TO WHINE OKAY.
00:42:44.93\00:42:48.36
>> AND THAT'S
OKAY. >> PRECISELY.
00:42:48.36\00:42:51.20
>> AND IN THE END
HE SAYS JOB IS MY MAN.
00:42:51.20\00:42:55.40
BECAUSE HE SAID I DON'T
GET THIS, GOD, I DOJT LIKE IT.
00:42:55.40\00:42:58.84
AND GOD SAID, I
DON'T LIKE IT EITHER.
00:42:58.84\00:43:03.38
AND THIS COMPLACENT RELIGION
THAT SAYS IF YOU ARE COMPLAISANT
00:43:03.38\00:43:10.05
IT'S FIND. THAT'S
NOT THE WAY IT WORKS.
00:43:10.05\00:43:12.12
THERE IS WICKEDNESS AND PAIN,
AND WHEN YOU FEEL THAT, AND YOU
00:43:12.12\00:43:16.76
ARE UPSET WITH GOD CONCERNING
THAT, HE IS RIGHT THERE WITH
00:43:16.76\00:43:19.89
YOU. >> PRECISELY.
00:43:19.89\00:43:22.33
>> SO WE COMMENDS JOB.
AND ONE MORE THING THAT IS
00:43:22.33\00:43:26.97
HAPPENING IN VERSE 42, BECAUSE
GOD SPEAKS AGAIN, AND THEN
00:43:26.97\00:43:32.01
VERSE -- >> CHAPTER 42.
00:43:32.01\00:43:34.28
>> EXCUSE ME CHAPTER 42,
HE SAYS I KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO
00:43:34.28\00:43:38.65
EVERYTHING, AND THAT NO
THOUGHT CAN BE HIDDEN FROM THEE.
00:43:38.65\00:43:43.52
THEREFORE I HAVE
UTTERED THAT I UNDERSTOOD NOT.
00:43:43.52\00:43:47.52
THINGS WERE WONDERFUL
FOR ME, WHICH I KNEW NOT.
00:43:47.52\00:43:51.03
AND I WILL DEMAND OF ME -- THIS
IS HIM QUOTING GOD, I HAVE HEARD
00:43:51.03\00:43:56.50
OF THEE BY THE HEARING OF MY
EAR, BUT NOW MY EYES SEE THEE.
00:43:56.50\00:44:05.24
>> YEAH. >> WE
CAN ARGUE WHY JOB DOES
00:44:05.24\00:44:09.88
THIS OR DOESN'T DO
IT. BUT I DON'T CARE.
00:44:09.88\00:44:14.15
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
EVEN IF HE'S PERFECT AND
00:44:14.15\00:44:18.62
RIGHTEOUSNESS, WHICH WE'RE GOING
TO FIND OUT AS WE MOVE TO DANIEL
00:44:18.62\00:44:22.86
AND OTHERS. WHEN YOU
SEE GOD, I DON'T CARE
00:44:22.86\00:44:26.43
HOW MANY ORPHANS YOU HAVE
MINISTERED TO, HOW MANY CAUSES
00:44:26.43\00:44:30.47
YOU HAVE SOUGHT OUT, WHEN
YOU SEE GOD, THIS IS GOING TO BE
00:44:30.47\00:44:33.80
YOUR EXPERIENCE. >> PRECISELY.
00:44:33.80\00:44:35.97
>> YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
IS GOING TO GO FLAT.
00:44:35.97\00:44:38.11
YOUR GLORY IS
GOING TO BECOME DUST.
00:44:38.11\00:44:41.41
AND WHEN YOU ARE WALLOWING IN
YOUR GLORY, GOD JUST RAISES YOU
00:44:41.41\00:44:47.28
UP, BECAUSE ITS
HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:44:47.28\00:44:51.52
>> AFTER ALL OF THAT -- AND
I THINK WHEN YOU REALLY GET THE
00:44:51.52\00:44:54.46
VISION OF WHO GOD
IS, AND WHO YOU ARE --
00:44:54.46\00:44:56.86
>> UH-HUH. >> --
YOU'RE -- YOU'RE RESPONSE
00:44:56.86\00:45:02.00
IS TO FALL FLAT ON YOUR FACE.
ANYTHING THAT YOU EVER THOUGHT
00:45:02.00\00:45:05.03
YOU HAD OR YOU COULD BRING
TO THE TABLE YOU REALIZE IS
00:45:05.03\00:45:08.94
NOTHING. >> HUH.
00:45:08.94\00:45:10.14
>> IT'S NOT GOD PLUS
YOU. IT'S GOD ALL GOD.
00:45:10.14\00:45:13.31
>> OKAY. >> AND
THAT'S WHERE HE ENDED UP,
00:45:13.31\00:45:16.61
AND THAT'S EXACTLY
WHERE GOD WANTED HIM TO BE.
00:45:16.61\00:45:21.45
>> YOU STARTED
WITH THE CONFIRMATION.
00:45:21.45\00:45:24.85
WE'RE -- WE'RE COMING OUT
OF THAT, AND REALIZING WHAT THE
00:45:24.85\00:45:29.26
REFORMATION WAS ALL ABOUT, AND
WHAT IT BROUGHT TO US, THIS IS
00:45:29.26\00:45:32.83
WHAT THE
REFORMERS ARE ALL ABOUT.
00:45:32.83\00:45:35.16
>> YES. >> YES
CAN'T ADD THEM TO THE
00:45:35.16\00:45:38.40
CANNON, BUT WE CAN LOOK AT THE
LIFE OF LUTHER AND WHAT HE WENT
00:45:38.40\00:45:43.64
TO WITH HIS MONASTERY LIFE
AND WALKING ON HIS KNEES UP THE
00:45:43.64\00:45:48.91
STAIRCASE, AND LACERATING HIS
BACK, AND DENYING HIMSELF AND
00:45:48.91\00:45:53.65
LIVING A BEGGAR'S LIF IN
BEGGAR'S CLOTHES, AND DOING
00:45:53.65\00:45:57.79
RIGHTEOUSNESS ACTS AND NEVER
FEELING LIKE HE MEASURED UP,
00:45:57.79\00:46:01.22
OKAY? >> YES.
00:46:01.22\00:46:02.26
>> THAT'S THE
PICTURE WE'RE GETTING HERE.
00:46:02.26\00:46:05.56
NOW NONE OF US HAVE TO
LIVE THAT KIND OF LIFE.
00:46:05.56\00:46:08.56
GOD WANTS TO BLESS US
WITH LIFE THAT IS BOUNTIFUL.
00:46:08.56\00:46:13.97
BUT THE ONLY WAY WE CAN GET TO
THAT IS TO UNDERSTAND THAT HE IS
00:46:13.97\00:46:18.74
THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
>> AMEN AND THE LORD OUR
00:46:18.74\00:46:23.78
RIGHTEOUSNESS LAYS THE
FOUNDATION FROM WHICH SPRINGS
00:46:23.78\00:46:26.95
THE FRUIT IN OUR LIVES.
THE BIG DANGER IS TO LET THAT
00:46:26.95\00:46:33.02
FRUIT BE THE MEANS OF SALVATION.
BECAUSE WITHOUT THE FRUIT WE'R
00:46:33.02\00:46:38.23
IN TROUBLE. BECAUSE
THE FRUIT TESTIFIES TO
00:46:38.23\00:46:40.56
THE FOUNDATION THAT
WE NEED. >> EXACTLY.
00:46:40.56\00:46:43.33
>> OKAY. SECOND GUY, DANIEL.
00:46:43.33\00:46:45.17
THIS GUY IS
AMAZING. >> OH, HE IS.
00:46:45.17\00:46:47.94
>> YOU HAVE JUST
DONE A SERIES ON DANIEL.
00:46:47.94\00:46:51.01
IT'S NOT AIRING YET, BUT
YOU HAVE TOLD US ABOUT THAT.
00:46:51.01\00:46:54.04
>> INDEED. >> SO YOU
CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE
00:46:54.04\00:46:56.85
STORY. I WANT TO
GIVE OUR VIEWERS AN
00:46:56.85\00:46:59.38
OVERVIEW OF THE BOOK OF DANIEL.
AND WE START OUT WITH THIS
00:46:59.38\00:47:03.62
INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE.
DANIEL'S WHOLE NATION HAS BEEN
00:47:03.62\00:47:08.32
TAKEN CAPTIVE. AND
THEY ARE GOING INTO
00:47:08.32\00:47:12.13
CAPTIVITY TO BABYLON BECAUSE OF
DISOBEDIENCE, BUT DANIEL IS NOT
00:47:12.13\00:47:19.63
WITH THAT GROUP.
DANIEL IS ACTUALLY FAIHFUL TO
00:47:19.63\00:47:23.20
GOD. HE'S TRUE TO GOD.
00:47:23.20\00:47:25.67
IT SEEMS LIKE HE LEARNED ABOUT
THE PROPHECIES OF ISAIAH AND
00:47:25.67\00:47:32.55
LISTENED TO JEREMIAH FROM
THE TIME HE WAS A LITTLE KID.
00:47:32.55\00:47:37.42
AND THE FIRST THING HE DOES WHEN
GETS INTO BABYLON HE SAYS I'M
00:47:37.42\00:47:43.49
NOT EATING THAT FOOD
OR DRINKING THAT WINE.
00:47:43.49\00:47:46.63
I'M GOING TO BE TRUE T GOD.
AND FROM THAT POINT ON, YOU JUST
00:47:46.63\00:47:50.17
SEE THIS GUY
EXPLODE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:47:50.17\00:47:52.57
>> OH, YOU DO. >> WHEN
THE KING HAS A DREAM, HE
00:47:52.57\00:47:56.74
GOES IN TO PRAY, AND WHEN
HE COMES OUT THE FIRST THING HE
00:47:56.74\00:48:01.81
SAYS IS DON'T DESTROY
THE WISEMEN OF BABYLON.
00:48:01.81\00:48:05.01
AND THESE GUYS WOULDN'T THINK
A SECOND THOUGHT ABOUT HIM.
00:48:05.01\00:48:08.38
THIS GUY IS
EXPLODING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:48:08.38\00:48:11.02
YOU HAVE TIME AFTER TIME WHERE
HE IS COMING TO THE HELP OF
00:48:11.02\00:48:17.59
NEBUCHADNEZZAR,
WHETHER THEY ACCEPT IT OR NOT.
00:48:17.59\00:48:20.80
HE IS A UNCK, A CAPTIVE, A
PRISONER IN A SENSE, AND YET HE
00:48:20.80\00:48:28.04
CARES FOR THEM.
>> YEAH, HE DOES.
00:48:28.04\00:48:30.37
>> AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN,
THE SPIRIT OF DANIEL, HE HAS THE
00:48:30.37\00:48:33.94
SPIRIT OF THE HOLY GODS IN HIM.
AND EVEN WHEN YOU GET THROUGH TO
00:48:33.94\00:48:39.01
DANIEL 9, LET'S SAY, YOU HAVE
THIS GUY PRAYING FOR FORGIVENESS
00:48:39.01\00:48:44.49
AND REPENTANCE OF SIN,
THE SINS OF HIS NATION.
00:48:44.49\00:48:48.02
WE SINNED, WE -- WE HAVE
FORSAKEN YOUR COMMANDMENTS.
00:48:48.02\00:48:54.30
WHAT, DANIEL? WHAT DO
YOU MEAN WE HAVE SINNED?
00:48:54.30\00:48:58.20
YOU ARE A GOOD GUY, LOOK AT YOU.
HE IS SO PERFECT THAT THEY CAN'T
00:48:58.20\00:49:03.41
EVEN FIND MUD ON HIM
IN THE POLITICAL ARENA.
00:49:03.41\00:49:07.54
I MEAN THEY FOUND
MUD ON CARSON, SOME ON.
00:49:07.54\00:49:10.55
[ LAUGHTER ] >>
DANIEL IS BLAMELESS.
00:49:10.55\00:49:12.38
THE GUY STANDS
WITHOUT A PEER. >> YEAH.
00:49:12.38\00:49:16.32
THE ONLY DIRT WE CAN FIND
IS BETWEEN HIM AND HIS GOD.
00:49:16.32\00:49:19.62
>> YEAH. >> BUT NO
FANFARE, HE IS JUST
00:49:19.62\00:49:23.89
CONSISTENTLY
WALKING WITH THE LORD.
00:49:23.89\00:49:25.76
HE GOES TO PRAY AND
GOD GIVES HIM THE ANSWER.
00:49:25.76\00:49:29.63
NO TA-DA! >> CAN
YOU DO IT, DANIEL?
00:49:29.63\00:49:33.77
I CAN'T, BUT GOD CAN. >>
YEAH, CONSISTENT WALK WITH
00:49:33.77\00:49:37.51
GOD. AND THERE
ARE TIMES WHEN THERE
00:49:37.51\00:49:39.24
ARE NO BELLS OR WHISTLES.
YOU ARE JUST YOU AND THE LORD
00:49:39.24\00:49:45.05
WALKING TOGETHER AND GOD WORKING
IT OUT FOR YOU, WITH YOU, TO
00:49:45.05\00:49:49.62
YOU, AND PUTS SHOES
ON YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
00:49:49.62\00:49:53.22
>> UH-HUH. NOW WE
SAID ALL OF THAT TO GET
00:49:53.22\00:49:56.19
TO THE GRAND FINALE, AND THAT'S
ACTUALLY DANIEL 10, IT'S THE
00:49:56.19\00:50:02.00
MOST SIGNIFICANT
CHAPTER IN DANIEL.
00:50:02.00\00:50:05.33
BUT PROBABLY THE MOST NEGLECTED.
>> YOU WANT TO GET TO 11.
00:50:05.33\00:50:10.17
>> YEAH, WHEN YOU TOLD ME YOU
DID A PIECE ON DANIEL, I THOUGHT
00:50:10.17\00:50:15.24
I CAN'T WAIT TO
WATCH DANIEL 11, YOU KNOW?
00:50:15.24\00:50:18.55
BUT DANIEL 10 IS THE BROCCOLI.
WHEN I WAS A KID, I WAS RAISED
00:50:18.55\00:50:24.15
TO EAT MEAT AND POTATOES,
AND I CAN'T LIKE VEGETABLES.
00:50:24.15\00:50:28.56
AND I HAD A DOG, AND, YOU KNOW,
I WOULD SLIP THE VEGETABLES
00:50:28.56\00:50:33.06
UNDER THE TABLE
TO HIM. >> LUCKY DOG.
00:50:33.06\00:50:36.50
>> THE PROBLEM WAS HE
DIDN'T LIKE THEM EITHER.
00:50:36.50\00:50:39.67
BUT HE WOULD EAT ANYTHING OUT OF
MY HAND, BUT AS SOON AS HE GOT A
00:50:39.67\00:50:44.84
TASTE OF IT, HE WOULD SPIT IT
OUT, AND THEN I WAS IN TROUBLE.
00:50:44.84\00:50:51.98
SO I DECIDED TO EAT THEM AS FAST
AS I COULD FIRST, AND THEN I
00:50:51.98\00:50:56.95
COULD FOLLOW UP THAT TERRIBLE
AFTER TASTE WITH THE MEAT AND
00:50:56.95\00:51:02.82
THE GRAVY. AND
THAT'S WHAT WE DO A LOT OF
00:51:02.82\00:51:07.00
TIMES TO DANIEL. BUT
THE BROCCOLI, THE VEGETABLES
00:51:07.00\00:51:10.50
IS WHERE THE
NUTRIENTS ARE. >> YES.
00:51:10.50\00:51:13.50
>> THE NUTRIENTS
ARE WHAT FEED US.
00:51:13.50\00:51:16.54
DANIEL 10 IS
FLLED WITH NUTRIENTS.
00:51:16.54\00:51:19.21
THIS IS WHERE WE NEED
TO BE. PROPHECIES FAIL.
00:51:19.21\00:51:22.64
KNOWLEDGE?
KNOWLEDGE PASSES AWAY.
00:51:22.64\00:51:24.51
YOU HAVE FAITH TO MOVE
MOUNTAINS, THAT FAITH -- WHAT WE
00:51:24.51\00:51:27.95
NEED IS THE LOVE.
WE NEED THE EXPERIENCE.
00:51:27.95\00:51:30.89
AND DANIEL 10 IS ALL ABOUT THAT.
AND IN DANIEL 10 YOU HAVE THIS
00:51:30.89\00:51:35.52
AMAZING -- AGAIN, FOR OUR
VIEWERS WHO ARE TRYING TO CATCH
00:51:35.52\00:51:39.19
THE CONSISTENCIES WITH
THESE FOUR DIFFERENT GUYS.
00:51:39.19\00:51:41.90
WE WANT TO LOOK AT DANIEL
10, AND LOOK AT VERSES 5 AND 6.
00:51:41.90\00:51:47.44
CAN YOU READ THOSE FOR US, CA.
>> I LIFTED MY EYES AND LOOKED
00:51:47.44\00:51:54.11
AND BEHOLD A CERTAIN MAN CLOTHED
IN LINEN WHOSE WAIST WAS GURDED
00:51:54.11\00:52:04.49
WITH GOLD OF UFAZ, HIS BODY DOES
LIKE A BARREL, HIS EYES LIKE
00:52:04.49\00:52:10.63
TORCHES OF FIRE, HIS ARMS AND
FEET LIKE BURNISHED BRONZE IN
00:52:10.63\00:52:15.16
COLOR, AND THE SOUND OF
HIS WORDS LIKE THE VOICE OF A
00:52:15.16\00:52:19.07
MULTITUDE. >> WHO IS?
00:52:19.07\00:52:20.77
WHO IS THIS? >> THIS
IS THE MESSENGER OF GOD.
00:52:20.77\00:52:24.34
>> WHEN YOU COMPARE THESE VERSUS
WITH THE BOOK OF REVELATION, YOU
00:52:24.34\00:52:28.88
FIND THAT THIS IS
TALKING ABOUT JESUS.
00:52:28.88\00:52:31.08
>> IT SURELY IS. >>
THIS IS TALKING ABOUT JESUS.
00:52:31.08\00:52:34.55
>> IT SURELY IS. >>
DANIEL IS ENCOUNTERING
00:52:34.55\00:52:38.79
CHRIST. WHAT
HAPPENS TO THIS MAN THAT IS
00:52:38.79\00:52:42.29
BLAMELESS BEFORE HIS POLITICAL
RIVALS, THIS MAN THAT IS
00:52:42.29\00:52:45.36
THINKING OF OTHERS, THIS MAN
THAT IS COMPLETELY COMMITTED TO
00:52:45.36\00:52:49.60
GOD, THIS MAN THAT IS SO
HUMBLE THAT WHEN PEOPLE ASK HIM
00:52:49.60\00:52:55.27
IF -- HE SAYS NO,
I CAN'T, BUT GOD CAN.
00:52:55.27\00:52:59.74
WHAT HAPPENS TO HIM AND
ALL OF THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, THIS
00:52:59.74\00:53:03.21
GOODNESS, THIS RIGHT DOING THAT
WE SEE IN HIS LIFE, WHAT HAPPENS
00:53:03.21\00:53:07.78
WHEN HE ENCOUNTERS CHRIST?
>> NO STRENGTH, NO -- TREMBLING.
00:53:07.78\00:53:15.29
>> YEAH, VERSE 7. >>
AND I DANIEL, ALONE SAW THE
00:53:15.29\00:53:19.19
VISION FOR THE MEN WHO WERE WITH
ME DID NOT SEE THE VISION, BUT A
00:53:19.19\00:53:23.67
GREAT TERROR FELL ON
THEM. SO THAT THEY FLED TO HIDE
00:53:23.67\00:53:29.00
THEMSELVES.
THEREFORE I WAS LEFT ALONE,
00:53:29.00\00:53:30.94
VERSE 8, AND SAW THIS GREAT
VISION AND NO STRENGTH REMAINED
00:53:30.94\00:53:36.91
IN ME, FOR MY VIGOR TURNED TO
FRAILTY, AND I HAD NO STRENGTH.
00:53:36.91\00:53:44.79
>> MY VERSION SAYS I
WAS TURNED INTO CORRUPTION.
00:53:44.79\00:53:48.16
HE FELT LIKE HE COULD JUST DIE,
THIS RIGHTEOUSNESS MAN -- THE
00:53:48.16\00:53:51.66
POINT HERE -- AND I THINK THIS
IS SO BEAUTIFUL -- THE POINT
00:53:51.66\00:53:57.23
HERE AS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND AS
MUCH GOOD WORKS AS YOU DO, AND
00:53:57.23\00:54:04.54
MY RIGHTEOUSNESS DIDN'T
COMPARE TO JOB OR DANIEL.
00:54:04.54\00:54:09.21
SO -- SO WHEN YOU HAVE A
MAN WHO'S BLAMELESS, AND HE IS
00:54:09.21\00:54:16.42
CONFRONTED WITH JESUS, WHEN
HE SEES CHRIST, WHEN HE SEES THE
00:54:16.42\00:54:20.96
GOODNESS AND RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND PERFECTION OF GOD, THERE IS
00:54:20.96\00:54:23.96
NOTHING LEFT. HE
FALLS DOWN AS THOUGH HE IS
00:54:23.96\00:54:26.73
DEAD. THERE'S NO GOODNESS, NO
00:54:26.73\00:54:29.76
RIGHTEOUSNESS IN HIM, AND THIS
IS THE PICTURE THAT WE FIND ALL
00:54:29.76\00:54:33.87
THROUGH SCRIPTURE.
THIS IS WHY THE LORD IS OUR
00:54:33.87\00:54:40.68
RIGHTEOUSNESS.
BECAUSE AS GOOD AS WE CAN GET
00:54:40.68\00:54:43.98
FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS, I DON'T
KNOW -- YOU WERE TELLING ME YOUR
00:54:43.98\00:54:47.35
AGE, AND I DON'T TELL OUR
VIEWERS, UNLESS YOU TELL OUR
00:54:47.35\00:54:53.62
VIEWERS, BUT YOU ARE ONLY 12
YEARS OLDER THAN ME, AND I'M 55.
00:54:53.62\00:55:00.76
SO I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG YOU
HAVE BEEN IN MINISTRY EXACTLY,
00:55:00.76\00:55:03.97
BUT I KNOW IT HAS
BEEN LONGER THAN ME.
00:55:03.97\00:55:06.23
AND I HAVE LISTENED TO YOUR
SERMONS AND I KNOW CA THAT YOU
00:55:06.23\00:55:12.01
CAN RELATE TO THIS, BECAUSE
PEOPLE -- VIEWERS CAN LOOK AT US
00:55:12.01\00:55:16.44
AND HEAR OUR STORIES, HOW GOD
USED US, AND THEY CAN READ OUR
00:55:16.44\00:55:21.35
BOOKS AND SAY, MAN,
THIS IS A MAN OF GOD HERE.
00:55:21.35\00:55:25.65
THEY PRAY, THEY STUDY THE BIBLE,
THEY SHARE TRUTH, THEY ARE
00:55:25.65\00:55:29.19
JUST -- ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
BUT WE KNOW -- YOU KNOW AND I
00:55:29.19\00:55:33.40
KNOW, THAT WHEN WE ENCOUNTER
CHRIST, OUR EXPERIENCE IS LIKE
00:55:33.40\00:55:40.27
DANIEL'S EXPERIENCE,
OUR EXPERIENCE IS LIKE JOB'S
00:55:40.27\00:55:43.81
EXPERIENCE. EVERY
SINGLE DAY WE HAVE TO
00:55:43.81\00:55:45.87
MUSTER THE COURAGE TO
SAY, GOD HAS GOT THIS.
00:55:45.87\00:55:48.71
I KNOW HE'S THE AUTHOR
AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH.
00:55:48.71\00:55:52.05
DON'T WE? >> WE DO.
00:55:52.05\00:55:54.42
WE DO. WE HAVE TO.
00:55:54.42\00:55:56.95
WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER CHRIST AND
YOU SEE YOUR OWN UNLOVELINESS,
00:55:56.95\00:56:01.99
IT IS NOT DONE IN AN EFFORT
TO DEPRESS YOU, IT'S DONE IN AN
00:56:01.99\00:56:07.03
EFFORT TO SHOW
YOU THE NEED OF HIM.
00:56:07.03\00:56:10.17
HE HAS GOT YOU THIS FAR AND YOU
HAVE TO HOLD HOME TO GET HOME.
00:56:10.17\00:56:15.04
BEING A CHRISTIAN MEANS YOU ARE
NOT TOO PROUD SO YOU DON'T LOOK
00:56:15.04\00:56:21.94
DOWN ON ANYBODY, BUT YOU DON'T
HAVE TO LOOK UP TO ANYBODY.
00:56:21.94\00:56:26.15
KEEP YOURSELF FOCUSED ON JESUS,
AND THEN YOU'RE PRECISELY WHERE
00:56:26.15\00:56:30.49
GOD WANTS DO YOU BE.
>> WE HAVE THIS VERTICAL
00:56:30.49\00:56:34.32
CONNECTION WITH GOD, THIS
VERTICAL CONNECTION WITH GOD
00:56:34.32\00:56:37.63
THAT KEEPS US
HORIZONTALLY EQUAL.
00:56:37.63\00:56:40.73
>> WELL SAID. >>
WE'RE FOCUSED ON CHRIST.
00:56:40.73\00:56:44.23
IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHO WE ARE, WHAT WE ARE.
00:56:44.23\00:56:50.14
AND WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE NO LONGER
ON THIS HORIZONTAL LEVEL WITH
00:56:50.14\00:56:54.64
EVERYONE ELSE. >> WE
FEEL A LITTLE BIT ABOVE --
00:56:54.64\00:56:57.71
>> YEAH. SO THERE
ARE TIMES WHEN GOD
00:56:57.71\00:57:00.92
BRINGS US BACK DOWN
TO THE FOOT OF THE CROSS.
00:57:00.92\00:57:04.25
>> PETER TELLS US WE'RE LOYAL.
AND THEN HE SAYS DO'T THINK OF
00:57:04.25\00:57:09.19
YOURSELF ANY
HIGHER THAN YOU ARE.
00:57:09.19\00:57:11.43
YOU START WITH JESUS, YOU STAY
WITH JESUS, YOU WILL END WITH
00:57:11.43\00:57:15.06
JESUS. AND IT'S
ABOUT JESUS ALL THE WAY
00:57:15.06\00:57:18.17
THROUGH. WE ARE
COMING DOWN TO THE NETHER
00:57:18.17\00:57:21.10
END OF THIS FIRST HOUR.
AND WE'RE PRETTY MUCH ON TRACK.
00:57:21.10\00:57:25.37
AND PRAYERFULLY, HOPEFULLY YOU
ARE GETTING SOMETHING FROM
THIS.-AND GETTING TO SEE
00:57:25.37\00:57:30.35
RIGHTEOUSNESS IN A NEW WAY,
LOOKING AT IT, THROUGH PERHAPS
00:57:30.35\00:57:35.32
NEW EYES, AS WE LOOK AT MEN WHO
ARE ACCOUNTED AS RIGHTEOUSNESS,
00:57:35.32\00:57:39.52
BUT REALIZE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS
IS IN AND THROUGH CHRIST.
00:57:39.52\00:57:41.72
WE'LL BE BACK IN TWO
MINUTES AND TWO SECONDS.
00:57:41.72\00:57:44.86
AND WE'LL LOOK
TO SEE YOU THEN. ¤
00:57:44.86\00:57:48.66
