[819.78 --> 820.88] sexual sins.
[821.70 --> 822.96] It's talking about
[822.96 --> 824.54] anything that goes beyond
[824.54 --> 826.16] appreciation and enjoyment
[826.16 --> 827.64] of God's good gifts
[827.64 --> 828.38] of creation.
[828.76 --> 830.20] Anything that goes beyond
[830.20 --> 831.76] God's standard
[831.76 --> 832.62] of right or wrong.
[832.92 --> 833.74] Taking that away
[833.74 --> 834.74] from God and saying,
[834.86 --> 835.04] no,
[835.34 --> 836.12] I know better.
[837.30 --> 839.22] It's our disordered desires
[839.22 --> 840.92] that enslave and trap us
[840.92 --> 842.02] in our addictions
[842.02 --> 843.88] as we follow our lusts.
[844.82 --> 846.38] Whether it be our lusts
[846.38 --> 847.46] for total autonomy
[847.46 --> 848.50] that we've been talking about.
[848.80 --> 849.78] Whether it be our lusts
[849.78 --> 850.30] for greed,
[850.60 --> 851.16] for power,
[851.28 --> 851.88] for control,
[852.28 --> 853.84] for domination over others.
[854.28 --> 855.86] Or our disordered desires
[855.86 --> 857.58] for instant gratification
[857.58 --> 858.76] instead of commitment
[858.76 --> 860.14] and covenant loyalty
[860.14 --> 860.96] in friendships,
[861.42 --> 862.10] in families,
[862.32 --> 863.04] in marriages.
[865.42 --> 866.72] That's the world
[866.72 --> 868.64] that we used to live in.
[868.84 --> 869.70] That's the world
[869.70 --> 870.72] that we used to follow
[870.72 --> 871.52] and agape.
[872.46 --> 873.44] That's what John
[873.44 --> 874.22] and Paul
[874.22 --> 875.08] is writing about.
[876.46 --> 877.96] And then the third root
[877.96 --> 878.80] of this world,
[879.12 --> 879.74] John says,
[880.10 --> 881.82] is the pride of life.
[883.34 --> 884.86] The pride of life
[884.86 --> 885.76] speaking into
[885.76 --> 886.84] our human condition
[886.84 --> 888.28] where we rebel
[888.28 --> 889.38] against all authority
[889.38 --> 890.06] and we think
[890.06 --> 890.78] we know better
[890.78 --> 892.54] than any of our forbearers
[892.54 --> 893.72] or anyone around us
[893.72 --> 894.92] including God himself.
[894.92 --> 896.94] And we live into the lie
[896.94 --> 898.08] of who are you
[898.08 --> 898.90] to tell me?
[900.70 --> 901.74] Pastor Sid mentioned
[901.74 --> 902.94] these lies as well.
[903.10 --> 903.90] Our cultural lies
[903.90 --> 904.56] that we live into
[904.56 --> 905.46] a couple weeks ago
[905.46 --> 906.96] where we say,
[907.82 --> 908.46] you do you.
[909.62 --> 910.22] It's okay.
[910.74 --> 911.86] Just follow your heart.
[911.96 --> 912.88] Doesn't matter who
[912.88 --> 913.58] or whatever
[913.58 --> 914.92] comes out your way.
[915.06 --> 916.62] Just follow your heart
[916.62 --> 917.98] as if our hearts
[917.98 --> 918.54] are pure.
[920.62 --> 922.04] Those are the lies
[922.04 --> 924.18] that are rooted
[924.18 --> 924.98] in the world.
[926.12 --> 926.54] And then,
[926.72 --> 927.44] same author,
[927.60 --> 928.26] John Mark Homer
[928.26 --> 928.84] and his book
[928.84 --> 929.94] makes an interesting
[929.94 --> 930.44] connection.
[930.82 --> 931.74] It was interesting to me
[931.74 --> 932.98] because I was the one
[932.98 --> 933.78] who preached on
[933.78 --> 934.90] Jesus' temptations
[934.90 --> 935.84] in the wilderness
[935.84 --> 937.12] a few weeks ago.
[937.90 --> 938.80] And then John Mark Homer,
[938.90 --> 939.30] this writer,
[939.42 --> 940.46] connects these three
[940.46 --> 941.80] roots of the world
[941.80 --> 942.92] to the temptations
[942.92 --> 943.90] that Jesus faced.
[944.60 --> 945.12] Specifically,
[945.98 --> 947.24] the lust of the flesh
[947.24 --> 948.32] when Satan said,
[948.54 --> 949.02] you're hungry,
[949.50 --> 950.86] you fasted for 40 days,
[951.14 --> 952.10] now make these stones
[952.10 --> 952.60] into bread,
