[439.64 --> 441.42] This verse stings, doesn't it?
[441.42 --> 448.38] Now, if I do what I don't want to do, it is no longer I that do it, but the sin living in me that does it.
[448.62 --> 450.70] What a wretched man I am.
[452.34 --> 455.92] Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?
[456.50 --> 460.30] And then he answers, thanks be to God who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord.
[460.78 --> 463.50] He doesn't simply dismiss what his struggle is.
[463.58 --> 465.12] Oh, the heart wants what the heart wants.
[466.62 --> 467.78] Give me a pass now.
[467.78 --> 474.30] No, he says this, there's sin in me, there's evil in me, it's at work in me, I don't know what to do, I need a savior.
[474.48 --> 475.96] Oh, there we go, now we're in the right spot.
[475.96 --> 485.76] Yeah, I do things that my heart wants to, but I shouldn't because they're sin and they destroy me and they destroy those around me.
[486.12 --> 487.46] They're lies.
[487.46 --> 494.62] I'm struggling because I know it's a lie I'm living, even though I keep doing it.
[494.62 --> 496.14] That's what Paul's saying, that's what we need to say.
[496.48 --> 500.32] Alan refused to admit he was living wrongly.
[500.32 --> 507.34] The excuse, well the heart wants what the heart wants, the flesh wants what the flesh wants.
[509.02 --> 511.78] There's a belief system of too many in our world today.
[513.36 --> 516.88] Pastor and scholar Eugene Peterson, he wrote the version of the Bible called The Message.
[516.88 --> 525.32] He defined the flesh as the corruption that sin has introduced into our very appetites and instincts.
[527.24 --> 530.90] Sin shows up in our appetites and instincts.
[532.38 --> 533.74] You want to step out of the Christian world?
[533.84 --> 538.32] Leading brain expert Jeffrey Schwartz wrote, or calls that our animal brain.
[540.10 --> 543.18] We have an animal brain which just goes on impulse.
[543.18 --> 549.46] Wise people, wise people all around, recognize that pleasure is not the same as happiness.
[550.02 --> 551.74] Pleasure is about dopamine.
[552.30 --> 553.58] Happiness is about serotonin.
[553.82 --> 557.18] Pleasure is about the next hit to feeling good.
[557.26 --> 560.52] Happiness is about contentment over the long haul.
[560.92 --> 562.20] Pleasure is about want.
[562.54 --> 564.70] Happiness is about freedom from want.
[566.16 --> 571.22] But when you swallow the lies of Satan, you'll live out those lies.
[571.22 --> 573.46] What are some of those lies?
[574.34 --> 576.78] Well, one similar to what I already talked about.
[577.02 --> 577.74] Follow your heart.
[578.12 --> 578.24] Right?
[578.62 --> 581.26] Your heart won't mislead you, will it?
[582.36 --> 583.46] Follow your heart.
[584.20 --> 584.48] Right?
[584.90 --> 585.76] How about this one?
[586.08 --> 587.14] You do you.
[588.90 --> 589.38] Really?
[590.12 --> 591.74] What if me isn't very good?
[592.78 --> 594.06] I probably shouldn't be doing me.
[596.34 --> 596.82] Right?
[597.04 --> 597.88] Or how about this one?
[598.08 --> 599.60] Speak your truth.
[599.60 --> 602.24] Well, what if it's against my truth?
[602.34 --> 604.96] Well, then you're speaking your truth because we have no truth.
[606.02 --> 607.14] And that's kind of how that one goes.
[607.36 --> 608.88] And of course, then, there's a famous one.
[609.58 --> 611.20] Be true to yourself.
[612.32 --> 613.26] Be true to yourself.
[613.40 --> 614.38] It's often quoted.
[614.72 --> 620.44] It's actually, ironically, from a Shakespeare play from Hamlet where it says,
[620.94 --> 623.02] This above all, to thine own self be true.
[624.36 --> 626.02] And any big Shakespeare buffs here?
[626.02 --> 628.08] Anyone remember who said that?
[629.14 --> 630.74] I'd be stunned if somebody knew.
[631.28 --> 632.60] Oh, somebody does know.
[632.68 --> 633.22] Who says it?
[634.40 --> 634.78] Yeah.
[635.02 --> 635.46] Wow.
[635.88 --> 637.08] I'm super impressed.
[637.08 --> 642.36] And what does Shakespeare say Polonius is?
[643.16 --> 643.96] Do you know that one, too?
[646.14 --> 646.40] Hey?
[647.38 --> 647.76] Yeah.
[647.98 --> 649.66] And Shakespeare refers to him as the fool.
[651.54 --> 652.46] He's the fool.
[652.56 --> 657.80] The fool says, to thine own heart be true, as if you can trust your heart all the time.
[658.78 --> 660.60] It doesn't go that way.
[660.60 --> 664.42] Let me give you a couple of quotes that hit home for me.
[664.50 --> 665.38] Maybe they will for you, too.
[665.88 --> 667.38] Jonathan Grant wrote this.
[669.80 --> 671.00] Modern authenticity.
[671.46 --> 671.82] All right?
[671.96 --> 673.96] So modern, to be authentic, right?
[674.04 --> 674.66] That's what we want.
[674.90 --> 680.00] Modern authenticity encourages us to create our own beliefs and morality.
[680.62 --> 686.12] The only rule being that they must resonate with who we feel we really are.
[686.12 --> 692.16] The worst thing we can do is to conform to some moral code that is imposed on us from the outside.
[692.36 --> 693.24] By society.
[693.42 --> 694.08] By our parents.
[694.34 --> 694.82] The church.
[694.92 --> 695.54] Or whoever else.
[695.92 --> 702.28] It is deemed to be self-evident that any such imposition would undermine our unique identity.
[703.08 --> 709.00] The authentic self believes that personal meaning must be found within ourselves.
[709.30 --> 711.70] Or must resonate with our one-of-a-kind personality.
[711.70 --> 717.32] That sound like the world we live in?
[719.62 --> 722.02] And then happiness becomes this.
[722.12 --> 726.10] Happiness becomes about feeling good, not necessarily being good.
[728.70 --> 730.92] Trust your flesh.
[733.36 --> 736.96] Trust your thoughts more than anything else.
[737.38 --> 739.32] Because that won't lead you astray.
[739.32 --> 741.94] You'll be authentic then.
[743.74 --> 749.18] David Wells, a theologian, describes what happens when society is given over to the flesh.
[749.68 --> 750.78] Look at this quote with me.
[751.60 --> 753.64] He writes, theology becomes therapy.
[753.98 --> 755.64] Again, it's not a knock on therapy.
[756.18 --> 757.68] Theology is built on truth.
