00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:07.319
I<00:07:04.480><c> thank</c><00:07:04.879><c> God</c><00:07:05.500><c> through</c><00:07:05.819><c> Jesus</c><00:07:06.339><c> Christ</c><00:07:06.759><c> our</c><00:07:07.019><c> Lord.</c>

00:07:07.480 --> 00:07:11.220
So<00:07:07.720><c> then</c><00:07:07.860><c> with</c><00:07:08.040><c> the</c><00:07:08.259><c> mind</c><00:07:08.620><c> I</c><00:07:09.060><c> serve</c><00:07:09.339><c> the</c><00:07:09.600><c> law</c><00:07:09.879><c> of</c><00:07:10.279><c> God.</c>

00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:17.480
The<00:07:13.759><c> flesh</c><00:07:13.939><c> itself</c><00:07:14.480><c> is</c><00:07:15.399><c> always</c><00:07:15.699><c> attached</c><00:07:16.060><c> to</c><00:07:16.220><c> the</c><00:07:16.339><c> law</c><00:07:16.500><c> of</c><00:07:16.639><c> sin.</c>

00:07:30.819 --> 00:07:31.220
in<00:07:31.040><c> there</c>

00:07:31.220 --> 00:07:35.360
but<00:07:31.540><c> it</c><00:07:31.720><c> is</c><00:07:32.459><c> recharged</c><00:07:33.279><c> and</c><00:07:33.639><c> innovated</c><00:07:34.459><c> to</c><00:07:34.819><c> the</c><00:07:34.980><c> point</c><00:07:35.160><c> where</c>

00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:37.040
it<00:07:35.500><c> becomes</c><00:07:35.819><c> much</c><00:07:36.220><c> more</c><00:07:36.660><c> stringent</c>

00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:40.060
upon<00:07:37.279><c> the</c><00:07:37.560><c> mind</c><00:07:37.839><c> and</c><00:07:38.319><c> obedience</c><00:07:38.819><c> of</c><00:07:39.019><c> the</c><00:07:39.180><c> believer.</c>

00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:43.720
Now<00:07:40.779><c> we</c><00:07:40.939><c> have</c><00:07:41.120><c> much</c><00:07:41.339><c> greater</c><00:07:41.740><c> perception</c><00:07:42.220><c> of</c><00:07:42.420><c> the</c><00:07:42.620><c> divine</c><00:07:42.819><c> mind</c><00:07:43.100><c> in</c><00:07:43.360><c> Christ.</c>

00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:45.899
Much<00:07:44.160><c> greater</c><00:07:44.439><c> than</c><00:07:44.600><c> Israel</c><00:07:45.079><c> had</c><00:07:45.279><c> under</c><00:07:45.519><c> the</c><00:07:45.720><c> law.</c>

00:07:46.139 --> 00:07:49.600
Therefore<00:07:46.500><c> there</c><00:07:46.740><c> is</c><00:07:46.939><c> encumbered</c><00:07:47.379><c> upon</c><00:07:47.540><c> us</c><00:07:47.779><c> also</c><00:07:48.079><c> much</c><00:07:48.259><c> greater</c><00:07:48.620><c> responsibilities</c><00:07:49.360><c> to</c>

No,<00:07:58.139><c> he</c><00:07:58.379><c> says,</c><00:07:58.560><c> we</c><00:07:58.779><c> don't</c><00:07:59.060><c> give</c><00:07:59.300><c> way</c><00:07:59.480><c> to</c><00:07:59.620><c> it.</c>

00:08:01.860 --> 00:08:04.399
No,<00:08:02.199><c> we</c><00:08:02.360><c> don't</c><00:08:02.560><c> let</c><00:08:02.699><c> grace</c><00:08:03.040><c> abound</c><00:08:03.500><c> with</c><00:08:03.860><c> greater</c><00:08:04.120><c> sin.</c>

different<00:14:56.840><c> form</c><00:14:57.059><c> of</c><00:14:57.259><c> thinking.</c>

00:14:58.620 --> 00:15:01.200
Previously<00:14:58.720><c> the</c><00:14:59.039><c> Jewish</c><00:14:59.360><c> people</c><00:14:59.740><c> thought</c><00:15:00.179><c> that</c><00:15:00.580><c> the</c><00:15:00.779><c> law</c><00:15:00.980><c> of</c>

00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:02.879
God<00:15:01.559><c> made</c><00:15:02.019><c> them</c><00:15:02.399><c> holy</c>

00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:05.779

00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:08.620
It's<00:15:06.519><c> almost</c><00:15:06.799><c> holiness</c><00:15:07.120><c> by</c><00:15:07.460><c> association.</c>

00:15:09.460 --> 00:15:11.179
They<00:15:09.639><c> were</c><00:15:09.799><c> Jewish</c><00:15:10.039><c> people.</c>

00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:14.519
They<00:15:11.720><c> had</c><00:15:12.000><c> been</c><00:15:12.620><c> circumcised</c><00:15:13.580><c> the</c><00:15:13.779><c> eighth</c><00:15:14.019><c> day.</c>

00:15:14.899 --> 00:15:17.080
They<00:15:15.159><c> had</c><00:15:15.320><c> the</c><00:15:15.559><c> covenants</c><00:15:15.860><c> of</c><00:15:16.139><c> promise.</c>

00:15:17.200 --> 00:15:19.620
They<00:15:17.340><c> had</c><00:15:17.460><c> received</c><00:15:17.740><c> the</c><00:15:17.919><c> law</c><00:15:18.080><c> by</c><00:15:18.299><c> the</c><00:15:18.440><c> dispensation</c><00:15:18.919><c> of</c><00:15:19.200><c> angels.</c>

00:15:19.620 --> 00:15:21.740

00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.019

00:15:29.820 --> 00:15:33.240

00:15:34.480 --> 00:15:37.039
Now<00:15:34.679><c> the</c><00:15:34.720><c> way</c><00:15:34.960><c> Christ</c><00:15:35.240><c> looks</c><00:15:35.480><c> at</c><00:15:35.639><c> it</c><00:15:35.740><c> is</c><00:15:35.919><c> very,</c><00:15:36.080><c> very</c><00:15:36.279><c> different.</c>

00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:43.940
The<00:15:37.919><c> new</c><00:15:38.279><c> commandment</c><00:15:39.059><c> is</c><00:15:39.360><c> that</c><00:15:39.600><c> we</c><00:15:40.559><c> live</c><00:15:41.100><c> and</c><00:15:42.120><c> love</c><00:15:42.720><c> together</c>

00:15:43.940 --> 00:15:45.899
as<00:15:44.559><c> we</c><00:15:44.860><c> serve</c><00:15:45.139><c> the</c><00:15:45.419><c> truth</c>

00:15:45.899 --> 00:15:49.399

00:15:50.379 --> 00:15:55.759
This<00:15:51.019><c> transition</c><00:15:51.659><c> from</c><00:15:51.940><c> one</c><00:15:52.299><c> phase</c><00:15:52.580><c> to</c><00:15:52.919><c> another</c><00:15:53.399><c> we're</c><00:15:54.019><c> reminded</c><00:15:54.360><c> of</c><00:15:54.860><c> in</c>

00:15:55.759 --> 00:15:57.259
Romans<00:15:56.340><c> chapter</c><00:15:56.720><c> 12.</c>

00:15:57.460 --> 00:15:59.799
Let's<00:15:57.539><c> just</c><00:15:57.740><c> go</c><00:15:57.879><c> there</c><00:15:58.059><c> for</c><00:15:58.240><c> a</c><00:15:58.360><c> moment.</c>

00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:04.139

00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:13.419
So<00:16:06.179><c> in</c><00:16:06.360><c> Romans</c><00:16:06.600><c> 12</c><00:16:06.940><c> and</c><00:16:07.120><c> verse</c><00:16:07.500><c> 1</c><00:16:08.919><c> he</c><00:16:12.980><c> says,</c>

I<00:16:14.100><c> beseech</c><00:16:14.320><c> you</c><00:16:14.519><c> therefore</c><00:16:14.860><c> brethren</c><00:16:15.200><c> by</c><00:16:15.480><c> the</c><00:16:15.860><c> mercies</c><00:16:16.320><c> of</c><00:16:16.559><c> God</c>

00:16:17.580 --> 00:16:21.480

00:16:28.240 --> 00:16:31.080
I<00:16:28.379><c> once</c><00:16:28.620><c> had</c><00:16:28.759><c> that</c><00:16:29.039><c> verse</c><00:16:29.220><c> quoted</c><00:16:29.519><c> to</c><00:16:29.820><c> me</c><00:16:30.019><c> in</c><00:16:30.139><c> the</c><00:16:30.320><c> authorized</c><00:16:30.720><c> version.</c>

00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:35.980
That<00:16:33.440><c> we</c><00:16:33.700><c> shouldn't</c><00:16:33.899><c> really</c><00:16:34.220><c> be</c><00:16:34.419><c> too</c><00:16:34.700><c> enthusiastic</c><00:16:35.360><c> for</c><00:16:35.639><c> the</c><00:16:35.840><c> truth</c>

00:16:42.700 --> 00:16:47.000
But<00:16:42.980><c> we</c><00:16:43.820><c> can</c><00:16:44.220><c> delude</c><00:16:44.559><c> ourselves</c><00:16:45.220><c> by</c><00:16:45.639><c> such</c><00:16:46.100><c> perhaps</c>

00:16:49.519 --> 00:16:52.860
What<00:16:49.820><c> Paul</c><00:16:50.120><c> is</c><00:16:50.419><c> saying</c><00:16:50.720><c> is</c><00:16:51.019><c> that</c><00:16:51.259><c> this</c><00:16:51.580><c> verse</c><00:16:51.860><c> is</c><00:16:52.179><c> telling</c><00:16:52.379><c> us</c>

00:16:52.860 --> 00:16:55.200
God<00:16:53.299><c> wants</c><00:16:53.620><c> a</c><00:16:53.980><c> rational</c><00:16:54.519><c> service.</c>

00:16:55.700 --> 00:16:58.740

00:16:58.860 --> 00:17:00.700
We<00:16:59.139><c> must</c><00:16:59.460><c> make</c><00:16:59.700><c> it</c><00:16:59.879><c> a</c><00:17:00.080><c> mental</c><00:17:00.279><c> approach.</c>

00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.799
It<00:17:00.860><c> is</c><00:17:01.100><c> not</c><00:17:01.399><c> purely</c><00:17:01.700><c> an</c><00:17:02.000><c> emotional</c><00:17:02.539><c> design</c><00:17:03.080><c> or</c><00:17:03.259><c> an</c><00:17:03.460><c> approach.</c>

00:17:09.920 --> 00:17:16.180
Now<00:17:10.019><c> he</c><00:17:10.220><c> says</c><00:17:10.660><c> in</c><00:17:11.019><c> verse</c><00:17:11.279><c> 2,</c><00:17:11.839><c> and</c><00:17:12.079><c> be</c><00:17:12.400><c> not</c><00:17:12.759><c> conformed</c><00:17:13.539><c> to</c><00:17:13.839><c> this</c><00:17:14.819><c> age.</c>

A<00:31:40.680><c> proverb,</c><00:31:41.079><c> it</c><00:31:41.079><c> was</c><00:31:41.200><c> really</c><00:31:41.440><c> the</c><00:31:41.579><c> outcome</c><00:31:41.859><c> of</c><00:31:42.059><c> a</c><00:31:42.240><c> dream.</c>

00:31:42.460 --> 00:31:45.259
You<00:31:42.559><c> might</c><00:31:42.720><c> have</c><00:31:42.880><c> seen</c><00:31:43.039><c> it,</c><00:31:43.140><c> but</c><00:31:43.200><c> let</c><00:31:43.339><c> me</c><00:31:43.460><c> quote</c><00:31:43.640><c> it</c><00:31:43.880><c> to</c><00:31:44.000><c> you.</c>

And<00:31:49.259><c> his</c><00:31:49.440><c> dream</c><00:31:49.660><c> was</c><00:31:50.059><c> that</c><00:31:51.079><c> he</c><00:31:51.559><c> was</c><00:31:51.799><c> working</c><00:31:52.299><c> with</c><00:31:52.859><c> his</c><00:31:53.099><c> lord</c>

And<00:32:01.339><c> so</c><00:32:01.539><c> as</c><00:32:01.720><c> they</c><00:32:01.960><c> walked</c><00:32:02.140><c> along</c><00:32:02.400><c> the</c><00:32:02.539><c> beach,</c><00:32:04.339><c> the</c><00:32:04.460><c> two</c><00:32:04.619><c> sets</c>

00:32:07.059 --> 00:32:08.940
And<00:32:07.559><c> then</c><00:32:07.740><c> as</c><00:32:07.880><c> they</c><00:32:07.980><c> got</c><00:32:08.119><c> further</c><00:32:08.400><c> along</c><00:32:08.579><c> the</c><00:32:08.700><c> beach,</c><00:32:08.900><c> there</c>

00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:15.799
And<00:32:13.359><c> the</c><00:32:13.480><c> man</c><00:32:13.599><c> was</c><00:32:13.779><c> greatly</c><00:32:14.099><c> troubled</c><00:32:14.400><c> by</c><00:32:14.640><c> this</c><00:32:14.880><c> dream.</c>

00:32:17.359 --> 00:32:21.960
And<00:32:17.700><c> he</c><00:32:17.799><c> says</c><00:32:18.059><c> to</c><00:32:18.220><c> his</c><00:32:18.460><c> lord,</c><00:32:18.640><c> Lord,</c><00:32:19.180><c> I</c><00:32:19.519><c> followed</c><00:32:19.799><c> you</c><00:32:20.180><c> all</c><00:32:20.440><c> the</c><00:32:20.599><c> way.</c>

00:32:33.299 --> 00:32:35.920

00:34:54.659 --> 00:34:57.960
It's<00:34:54.980><c> a</c><00:34:55.139><c> great</c><00:34:55.320><c> relaxation</c><00:34:55.980><c> to</c><00:34:56.219><c> do</c><00:34:56.360><c> that,</c><00:34:56.480><c> we</c><00:34:56.679><c> realize</c><00:34:57.139><c> that.</c>

00:34:58.980 --> 00:35:01.559
But<00:34:59.179><c> often</c><00:34:59.400><c> we</c><00:34:59.559><c> have</c><00:34:59.760><c> to</c><00:34:59.940><c> sacrifice</c><00:35:00.519><c> those</c><00:35:00.820><c> moments</c><00:35:01.139><c> to</c><00:35:01.400><c> say,</c>

00:35:01.619 --> 00:35:05.280
look<00:35:01.800><c> I'm</c><00:35:02.199><c> sorry</c><00:35:02.519><c> brother</c><00:35:03.059><c> such</c><00:35:03.320><c> and</c><00:35:03.460><c> such,</c><00:35:03.880><c> I</c><00:35:04.019><c> can't</c><00:35:04.300><c> come</c><00:35:04.460><c> with</c><00:35:04.619><c> you</c><00:35:04.780><c> today</c><00:35:05.059><c> on</c>

00:35:07.579 --> 00:35:10.159
Maybe<00:35:07.780><c> there's</c><00:35:08.500><c> another</c><00:35:08.780><c> brother</c><00:35:09.099><c> that</c><00:35:09.320><c> needs</c><00:35:09.679><c> some</c><00:35:10.000><c> care</c>

00:35:10.820 --> 00:35:14.679
or<00:35:11.019><c> another</c><00:35:11.340><c> sister</c><00:35:11.940><c> that</c><00:35:13.139><c> needs</c><00:35:13.360><c> a</c><00:35:13.460><c> little</c><00:35:13.639><c> help.</c>

00:35:15.199 --> 00:35:17.639
I'll<00:35:15.579><c> catch</c><00:35:15.840><c> up</c><00:35:16.039><c> with</c><00:35:16.119><c> you</c><00:35:16.260><c> later</c><00:35:16.519><c> on.</c>

And<00:35:18.780><c> so</c><00:35:19.079><c> sacrifice</c><00:35:19.599><c> can</c><00:35:19.820><c> be</c><00:35:20.059><c> made</c><00:35:20.260><c> to</c><00:35:20.460><c> give</c><00:35:20.579><c> our</c><00:35:20.880><c> time</c><00:35:21.099><c> to</c><00:35:21.239><c> those</c><00:35:21.480><c> who</c>

need<00:35:21.820><c> it.</c>

00:35:23.820 --> 00:35:26.400
That's<00:35:24.260><c> a</c><00:35:24.320><c> way</c><00:35:24.500><c> of</c><00:35:24.679><c> love</c><00:35:24.860><c> which</c><00:35:25.079><c> sometimes,</c><00:35:25.860><c> brethren</c><00:35:26.019><c> and</c><00:35:26.199><c> sisters,</c>

00:35:26.460 --> 00:35:30.320
in<00:35:26.619><c> our</c><00:35:26.820><c> communities</c><00:35:27.199><c> we've</c><00:35:27.539><c> almost</c><00:35:27.920><c> forgotten</c><00:35:28.679><c> because</c><00:35:30.099><c> of</c>

00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:31.719
two<00:35:30.559><c> reasons.</c>

00:35:32.619 --> 00:35:37.119
Firstly,<00:35:34.019><c> our</c><00:35:34.079><c> own</c><00:35:34.380><c> lifestyle</c><00:35:34.840><c> can</c><00:35:35.380><c> become</c><00:35:35.699><c> that</c><00:35:36.000><c> busy</c><00:35:36.539><c> that</c>

00:35:37.119 --> 00:35:38.079
we<00:35:37.340><c> schedule</c><00:35:37.659><c> our</c><00:35:37.880><c> minutes</c>

00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:42.360
so<00:35:38.639><c> finitely</c><00:35:39.280><c> that</c><00:35:39.679><c> we're</c><00:35:39.880><c> looking</c><00:35:40.239><c> ahead</c><00:35:41.019><c> to</c><00:35:41.719><c> developing</c>

00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:43.260
our<00:35:42.739><c> own</c><00:35:43.019><c> work,</c>

00:35:43.420 --> 00:35:46.679
to<00:35:43.519><c> developing</c><00:35:44.019><c> our</c><00:35:44.360><c> own</c><00:35:44.639><c> skills,</c><00:35:45.280><c> to</c><00:35:45.559><c> doing</c><00:35:45.900><c> the</c><00:35:46.179><c> things</c><00:35:46.320><c> that</c><00:35:46.500><c> we</c>

00:35:46.679 --> 00:35:47.400
want<00:35:46.880><c> to</c><00:35:47.159><c> develop</c>

00:35:47.400 --> 00:35:52.099
in<00:35:47.599><c> our</c><00:35:47.739><c> domestic</c><00:35:48.280><c> life,</c><00:35:48.780><c> our</c><00:35:48.880><c> houses,</c><00:35:49.639><c> our</c><00:35:49.860><c> society,</c><00:35:50.500><c> wherever</c><00:35:50.659><c> we</c><00:35:50.860><c> might</c><00:35:51.039><c> be</c><00:35:51.280><c> living.</c>

00:35:53.420 --> 00:35:56.800
And<00:35:53.940><c> then</c><00:35:54.059><c> we've</c><00:35:54.260><c> just</c><00:35:54.380><c> got</c><00:35:54.500><c> no</c><00:35:54.760><c> time</c><00:35:55.000><c> to</c><00:35:55.139><c> think</c><00:35:55.360><c> about</c><00:35:55.559><c> the</c><00:35:55.699><c> needs</c><00:35:55.840><c> of</c><00:35:56.039><c> others.</c>

00:35:56.940 --> 00:35:59.619
We're<00:35:57.500><c> very</c><00:35:57.900><c> busy</c><00:35:58.340><c> people.</c>

00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:03.340
The<00:36:00.019><c> world</c><00:36:00.320><c> is</c><00:36:00.599><c> running</c><00:36:00.880><c> to</c><00:36:01.199><c> and</c><00:36:01.519><c> fro</c><00:36:01.719><c> and</c><00:36:02.159><c> knowledge</c><00:36:02.500><c> has</c><00:36:02.840><c> increased</c>

00:36:03.340 --> 00:36:08.079
and<00:36:03.679><c> we're</c><00:36:03.900><c> all</c><00:36:04.179><c> caught</c><00:36:04.360><c> up</c><00:36:04.539><c> in</c><00:36:04.679><c> the</c><00:36:04.960><c> world</c><00:36:05.159><c> of</c><00:36:05.340><c> this</c><00:36:05.619><c> mad</c><00:36:05.920><c> world</c><00:36:06.260><c> society</c><00:36:06.760><c> we're</c><00:36:07.059><c> in.</c>

00:36:09.539 --> 00:36:13.719
The<00:36:09.719><c> other</c><00:36:09.880><c> reason</c><00:36:10.119><c> is</c><00:36:11.380><c> that</c><00:36:12.280><c> the</c><00:36:12.519><c> freedom</c><00:36:12.679><c> of</c><00:36:12.920><c> the</c><00:36:13.119><c> individual,</c>

00:36:16.519 --> 00:36:20.039
that<00:36:16.900><c> we</c><00:36:17.139><c> dare</c><00:36:17.280><c> not</c><00:36:17.500><c> sometimes</c><00:36:17.980><c> put</c><00:36:18.340><c> our</c><00:36:19.059><c> attention</c><00:36:19.599><c> upon</c><00:36:19.860><c> a</c>

And<00:36:30.079><c> yet</c><00:36:30.219><c> we</c><00:36:30.360><c> can</c><00:36:30.659><c> see</c><00:36:30.900><c> our</c><00:36:31.199><c> brethren</c><00:36:31.460><c> and</c><00:36:31.719><c> sisters</c><00:36:32.079><c> caught</c><00:36:32.519><c> in</c><00:36:32.940><c> problems</c>

00:36:37.699 --> 00:36:40.619
And<00:36:37.880><c> we</c><00:36:37.980><c> can</c><00:36:38.199><c> sit</c><00:36:38.320><c> by</c><00:36:38.539><c> and</c><00:36:38.719><c> say,</c><00:36:38.800><c> well,</c><00:36:38.900><c> that's</c><00:36:39.239><c> their</c><00:36:39.519><c> business.</c>
