00:01:43.659 --> 00:01:47.640
this<00:01:44.180><c> constitution</c><00:01:45.099><c> that</c><00:01:45.760><c> you</c><00:01:45.959><c> and</c><00:01:46.140><c> I</c><00:01:46.280><c> have</c><00:01:46.519><c> inherited</c>

00:01:52.980 --> 00:01:57.579
But<00:01:53.219><c> if</c><00:01:53.420><c> we</c><00:01:53.680><c> say</c><00:01:53.840><c> we</c><00:01:54.019><c> are</c><00:01:54.280><c> essentially</c><00:01:54.680><c> good,</c><00:01:56.680><c> and</c><00:01:56.920><c> I</c><00:01:57.319><c> really</c>

00:01:57.579 --> 00:01:59.659

00:02:19.039 --> 00:02:22.479

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:09.300
Paul<00:04:05.599><c> could</c><00:04:05.879><c> honestly</c><00:04:06.520><c> say,</c><00:04:07.939><c> and</c><00:04:08.240><c> I'm</c><00:04:08.460><c> convinced</c><00:04:08.840><c> it's</c><00:04:09.080><c> late</c>

in<00:04:09.479><c> his</c><00:04:09.719><c> life</c><00:04:09.939><c> when</c><00:04:10.080><c> he</c><00:04:10.300><c> wrote</c><00:04:10.479><c> Romans,</c>

00:04:11.979 --> 00:04:15.800
Oh<00:04:12.500><c> wretched</c><00:04:13.020><c> man</c><00:04:13.520><c> that</c><00:04:13.780><c> I</c><00:04:14.060><c> am.</c>

00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:20.819

00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:26.300

00:04:29.139 --> 00:04:30.899
But<00:04:29.319><c> that's</c><00:04:29.620><c> what</c><00:04:29.800><c> we</c><00:04:30.040><c> deal</c><00:04:30.360><c> with.</c>

00:04:30.899 --> 00:04:35.579
But<00:04:31.220><c> if</c><00:04:31.420><c> we</c><00:04:31.720><c> are</c><00:04:32.740><c> willing</c><00:04:33.199><c> to</c><00:04:33.420><c> confess</c><00:04:33.939><c> that</c><00:04:34.139><c> we</c><00:04:34.339><c> are</c><00:04:34.600><c> sinful,</c>

00:04:36.019 --> 00:04:40.920

00:09:53.570 --> 00:09:57.309

00:26:11.869 --> 00:26:16.589
It's<00:26:12.549><c> been</c><00:26:12.710><c> there</c><00:26:12.950><c> from</c><00:26:13.230><c> the</c><00:26:13.410><c> beginning,</c><00:26:14.910><c> but</c><00:26:15.809><c> you'll</c><00:26:16.069><c> see</c><00:26:16.250><c> what</c><00:26:16.410><c> he</c>

00:26:16.589 --> 00:26:18.069
does<00:26:16.930><c> with</c><00:26:17.230><c> it.</c>

00:26:18.650 --> 00:26:22.410
In<00:26:18.789><c> chapter</c><00:26:19.109><c> three</c><00:26:19.349><c> he</c><00:26:19.529><c> says,</c><00:26:20.549><c> whoever</c><00:26:20.750><c> does</c><00:26:21.230><c> not</c><00:26:21.609><c> practice</c>

00:26:22.410 --> 00:26:28.630
righteousness<00:26:23.049><c> is</c><00:26:24.170><c> not</c><00:26:24.390><c> of</c><00:26:24.609><c> God,</c><00:26:26.609><c> nor</c><00:26:26.930><c> is</c><00:26:27.269><c> he</c><00:26:27.650><c> who</c><00:26:27.910><c> does</c><00:26:28.309><c> not</c>

00:26:30.869 --> 00:26:37.369
This<00:26:31.269><c> is</c><00:26:31.549><c> the</c><00:26:31.769><c> message</c><00:26:32.210><c> that</c><00:26:32.509><c> you</c><00:26:32.750><c> heard</c><00:26:33.309><c> from</c><00:26:33.890><c> the</c><00:26:34.269><c> beginning,</c><00:26:37.049><c> that</c><00:26:37.170><c> we</c>

00:26:38.609 --> 00:26:44.009
So<00:26:39.029><c> it's</c><00:26:39.569><c> not</c><00:26:39.829><c> a</c><00:26:39.950><c> new</c><00:26:40.130><c> command</c><00:26:40.670><c> to</c><00:26:42.109><c> love</c><00:26:42.630><c> one</c><00:26:42.970><c> another.</c>

00:26:45.009 --> 00:26:48.690
In<00:26:45.029><c> 2</c><00:26:45.250><c> John</c><00:26:45.549><c> 5</c><00:26:45.950><c> he</c><00:26:46.089><c> says,</c><00:26:46.490><c> not</c><00:26:46.509><c> as</c><00:26:46.809><c> though</c><00:26:46.970><c> I</c><00:26:47.170><c> wrote</c><00:26:47.390><c> a</c><00:26:47.609><c> new</c><00:26:47.930><c> commandment</c><00:26:48.490><c> to</c>

00:26:48.690 --> 00:26:53.269
you,<00:26:49.730><c> but</c><00:26:49.970><c> that</c><00:26:50.269><c> which</c><00:26:50.529><c> we</c><00:26:50.829><c> have</c><00:26:51.069><c> had</c><00:26:51.430><c> from</c><00:26:51.829><c> the</c><00:26:52.210><c> beginning,</c>

00:26:53.890 --> 00:26:56.349

00:26:57.529 --> 00:27:00.450
So<00:26:57.849><c> the</c><00:26:58.009><c> commandment</c><00:26:58.410><c> was</c><00:26:58.650><c> not</c><00:26:58.890><c> new</c><00:26:59.069><c> to</c><00:26:59.269><c> them.</c><00:26:59.569><c> They</c><00:26:59.750><c> had</c><00:26:59.990><c> known</c><00:27:00.150><c> it</c>

00:27:00.450 --> 00:27:03.309
ever<00:27:00.789><c> since</c><00:27:01.089><c> they</c><00:27:01.269><c> had</c><00:27:01.509><c> come</c><00:27:01.730><c> to</c><00:27:01.910><c> know</c><00:27:02.089><c> the</c><00:27:02.289><c> Gospel.</c>

00:27:03.829 --> 00:27:08.109
Christ<00:27:04.549><c> was</c><00:27:04.829><c> at</c><00:27:05.109><c> pains</c><00:27:05.470><c> to</c><00:27:05.910><c> teach</c><00:27:06.230><c> that</c><00:27:06.509><c> to</c><00:27:06.670><c> his</c><00:27:06.910><c> disciples.</c>

00:27:09.470 --> 00:27:14.130
But<00:27:09.670><c> then</c><00:27:09.890><c> he</c><00:27:09.970><c> goes</c><00:27:10.250><c> on</c><00:27:10.490><c> to</c><00:27:10.789><c> say,</c><00:27:12.430><c> a</c><00:27:12.470><c> new</c><00:27:12.789><c> commandment</c><00:27:13.569><c> I</c><00:27:13.910><c> write</c>

00:27:14.130 --> 00:27:21.130
to<00:27:14.430><c> you,</c><00:27:16.869><c> which</c><00:27:17.089><c> thing</c><00:27:17.369><c> is</c><00:27:17.730><c> true</c><00:27:18.089><c> in</c><00:27:18.450><c> him</c><00:27:19.009><c> and</c><00:27:19.490><c> in</c><00:27:19.890><c> you,</c>

00:27:21.789 --> 00:27:25.549
because<00:27:22.190><c> the</c><00:27:22.490><c> darkness</c><00:27:22.869><c> is</c><00:27:23.230><c> passing</c><00:27:23.549><c> away</c><00:27:24.029><c> and</c><00:27:24.329><c> the</c><00:27:24.609><c> true</c><00:27:24.809><c> light</c><00:27:25.150><c> is</c>

00:27:25.549 --> 00:27:26.750
already<00:27:26.109><c> shining.</c>

00:27:26.750 --> 00:27:32.440
So<00:27:28.430><c> what</c><00:27:28.690><c> was</c><00:27:29.029><c> new</c><00:27:29.410><c> about</c><00:27:29.869><c> the</c><00:27:31.190><c> new</c><00:27:31.470><c> commandment?</c>

00:27:34.190 --> 00:27:42.509
Actually<00:27:35.130><c> it's</c><00:27:35.650><c> the</c><00:27:35.910><c> dimension,</c><00:27:38.009><c> the</c><00:27:38.250><c> depth,</c><00:27:40.130><c> the</c><00:27:40.410><c> extent</c><00:27:41.170><c> of</c>

00:27:42.509 --> 00:27:44.269
the<00:27:42.730><c> love</c><00:27:42.970><c> required.</c>

00:27:46.549 --> 00:27:52.730
The<00:27:46.769><c> willingness</c><00:27:47.250><c> to</c><00:27:47.549><c> lay</c><00:27:47.789><c> down</c><00:27:48.130><c> our</c><00:27:48.450><c> lives</c><00:27:49.150><c> for</c><00:27:49.609><c> the</c><00:27:49.849><c> brethren</c><00:27:50.230><c> as</c><00:27:51.390><c> he</c><00:27:51.609><c> did.</c>

00:27:53.349 --> 00:27:56.309
That's<00:27:54.089><c> what</c><00:27:54.230><c> he's</c><00:27:54.430><c> going</c><00:27:54.670><c> to</c><00:27:54.809><c> unfold</c><00:27:55.230><c> to</c><00:27:55.470><c> them</c><00:27:55.710><c> and</c><00:27:55.950><c> express</c>

00:27:58.970 --> 00:28:05.210
In<00:27:59.210><c> effect</c><00:27:59.450><c> he's</c><00:27:59.930><c> saying,</c><00:28:01.970><c> to</c><00:28:01.970><c> love</c><00:28:02.410><c> your</c><00:28:02.789><c> brother,</c><00:28:04.470><c> agape,</c>

00:28:12.730 --> 00:28:18.410
Not<00:28:13.029><c> literally,</c><00:28:13.789><c> obviously,</c><00:28:16.049><c> but</c><00:28:16.210><c> in</c><00:28:16.589><c> service,</c><00:28:17.690><c> whatever</c><00:28:18.009><c> is</c>

00:34:09.050 --> 00:34:12.170
He<00:34:09.369><c> never</c><00:34:09.710><c> did</c><00:34:09.969><c> it.</c><00:34:10.110><c> We</c><00:34:10.289><c> just</c><00:34:10.510><c> take</c><00:34:10.690><c> it</c><00:34:10.889><c> for</c><00:34:11.170><c> granted.</c>

00:34:13.570 --> 00:34:17.530

But<00:50:51.420><c> the</c><00:50:51.619><c> problem</c><00:50:52.059><c> is</c><00:50:52.420><c> that</c><00:50:52.599><c> the</c><00:50:52.840><c> world</c><00:50:53.059><c> is</c><00:50:53.360><c> so</c><00:50:53.719><c> insidious</c>

00:50:55.780 --> 00:51:01.199
that<00:50:56.579><c> over</c><00:50:57.099><c> time</c><00:50:57.559><c> we</c><00:50:57.739><c> can</c><00:50:57.960><c> end</c><00:50:58.219><c> up</c><00:50:58.440><c> acting</c><00:50:58.820><c> like</c><00:50:59.219><c> it</c><00:51:00.400><c> without</c>

00:51:01.199 --> 00:51:03.440
even<00:51:01.619><c> realizing</c><00:51:02.119><c> it.</c>

00:51:04.039 --> 00:51:10.619
We<00:51:04.840><c> can</c><00:51:05.079><c> be</c><00:51:05.480><c> swamped</c><00:51:06.039><c> by</c><00:51:06.360><c> it,</c><00:51:08.059><c> but</c><00:51:08.179><c> hardly</c><00:51:08.599><c> recognize</c><00:51:09.340><c> it's</c><00:51:09.699><c> happening.</c>

00:51:11.420 --> 00:51:16.679
That's<00:51:11.800><c> why</c><00:51:12.019><c> we</c><00:51:12.239><c> need</c><00:51:12.599><c> to</c><00:51:12.900><c> shut</c><00:51:13.119><c> out</c><00:51:13.320><c> the</c><00:51:13.559><c> world</c><00:51:14.179><c> in</c><00:51:15.059><c> our</c><00:51:15.340><c> homes,</c>

Keep<00:51:26.420><c> our</c><00:51:26.679><c> minds</c><00:51:27.139><c> clear</c><00:51:27.639><c> of</c><00:51:27.880><c> it.</c>

00:51:28.300 --> 00:51:30.780
Don't<00:51:28.599><c> let</c><00:51:28.840><c> the</c><00:51:29.119><c> world's</c><00:51:29.659><c> media</c><00:51:29.920><c> in.</c>

00:51:32.039 --> 00:51:34.980
It<00:51:32.539><c> is</c><00:51:32.860><c> insidious</c><00:51:33.559><c> and</c><00:51:33.739><c> it's</c><00:51:34.000><c> all</c><00:51:34.179><c> around</c><00:51:34.539><c> us.</c>

00:51:35.179 --> 00:51:40.719

00:51:50.780 --> 00:51:52.059
It's<00:51:51.179><c> all</c><00:51:51.519><c> around.</c>

00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:56.980
The<00:51:52.659><c> world</c><00:51:52.900><c> is</c><00:51:53.440><c> trying</c><00:51:53.840><c> to</c><00:51:54.719><c> force</c><00:51:55.179><c> us</c><00:51:55.420><c> into</c><00:51:55.679><c> its</c><00:51:55.960><c> mold.</c>

00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:04.860

00:52:06.519 --> 00:52:09.179
I<00:52:06.679><c> think</c><00:52:06.900><c> many</c><00:52:07.199><c> of</c><00:52:07.380><c> you</c><00:52:07.480><c> will</c><00:52:07.719><c> find</c><00:52:08.019><c> out</c><00:52:08.260><c> that</c><00:52:08.420><c> in</c><00:52:08.800><c> time</c>

00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:19.599
You<00:52:17.179><c> don't</c><00:52:17.360><c> need</c><00:52:17.579><c> a</c><00:52:17.619><c> lot</c><00:52:17.820><c> of</c><00:52:18.000><c> the</c><00:52:18.139><c> other</c><00:52:18.360><c> kinds</c><00:52:18.800><c> of</c><00:52:19.059><c> media</c><00:52:19.360><c> that</c>

00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:27.380
I<00:52:23.340><c> remember</c><00:52:23.599><c> years</c><00:52:23.920><c> ago,</c><00:52:25.179><c> I</c><00:52:25.659><c> was</c><00:52:25.960><c> probably</c><00:52:26.280><c> in</c><00:52:26.500><c> my</c><00:52:26.659><c> late</c><00:52:26.900><c> 50s</c>

00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:32.960
when<00:52:29.480><c> we</c><00:52:29.619><c> put</c><00:52:29.820><c> away</c><00:52:30.059><c> the</c><00:52:30.320><c> TV</c><00:52:30.699><c> and</c><00:52:31.320><c> the</c><00:52:31.480><c> relief</c><00:52:31.860><c> that</c><00:52:32.139><c> came</c><00:52:32.360><c> from</c><00:52:32.619><c> that.</c>

00:52:33.159 --> 00:52:35.940
It<00:52:33.159><c> was</c><00:52:33.360><c> no</c><00:52:33.559><c> longer</c><00:52:33.840><c> a</c><00:52:34.019><c> question</c><00:52:34.300><c> of</c><00:52:34.579><c> am</c><00:52:34.840><c> I</c><00:52:35.000><c> going</c><00:52:35.139><c> to</c><00:52:35.219><c> do</c><00:52:35.460><c> this</c>

00:52:37.739 --> 00:52:42.800
We<00:52:38.639><c> were</c><00:52:39.119><c> down</c><00:52:39.360><c> to</c><00:52:39.699><c> just</c><00:52:39.900><c> the</c><00:52:40.300><c> news</c><00:52:40.659><c> and</c><00:52:41.519><c> things</c><00:52:41.820><c> like</c><00:52:42.119><c> Jeopardy,</c><00:52:42.619><c> but</c><00:52:42.739><c> it</c>

00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:44.119
was<00:52:43.019><c> still</c><00:52:43.340><c> there.</c>

00:52:44.539 --> 00:52:46.960
It<00:52:44.639><c> was</c><00:52:44.820><c> too</c><00:52:45.039><c> easy</c><00:52:45.260><c> to</c><00:52:45.440><c> give</c><00:52:45.639><c> into</c><00:52:45.940><c> it.</c>

00:52:47.500 --> 00:52:51.599
But<00:52:47.599><c> once</c><00:52:47.860><c> it's</c><00:52:48.139><c> gone,</c><00:52:48.380><c> it's</c><00:52:48.639><c> gone,</c><00:52:49.079><c> and</c><00:52:49.400><c> you</c><00:52:49.579><c> just</c><00:52:50.760><c> amazingly</c>

00:52:51.599 --> 00:52:53.079

00:52:56.699 --> 00:52:59.460
What<00:52:56.940><c> James</c><00:52:57.280><c> says</c><00:52:57.599><c> is</c><00:52:57.900><c> resist</c><00:52:58.320><c> the</c><00:52:58.500><c> devil</c><00:52:58.780><c> and</c><00:52:58.960><c> he</c><00:52:59.059><c> will</c><00:52:59.280><c> flee</c>

And<00:53:01.860><c> you've</c><00:53:02.099><c> all</c><00:53:02.300><c> experienced</c><00:53:02.760><c> it,</c><00:53:02.940><c> I'm</c><00:53:03.139><c> sure,</c><00:53:03.480><c> in</c><00:53:03.559><c> some</c><00:53:03.760><c> degree,</c><00:53:04.260><c> in</c>

00:53:05.119 --> 00:53:08.699
But<00:53:06.099><c> that's</c><00:53:06.480><c> how</c><00:53:06.659><c> you</c><00:53:06.920><c> keep</c><00:53:07.199><c> out</c><00:53:07.440><c> the</c><00:53:07.659><c> world</c><00:53:08.000><c> and</c><00:53:08.280><c> love</c><00:53:08.440><c> not</c>

00:53:12.719 --> 00:53:16.219
Well,<00:53:12.920><c> we'll</c><00:53:13.019><c> leave</c><00:53:13.179><c> it</c><00:53:13.380><c> there.</c><00:53:15.059><c> Thank</c><00:53:15.400><c> you.</c>
