[1079.60 --> 1081.32] and the movies
[1081.32 --> 1082.36] that are popularized?
[1084.52 --> 1085.00] And then,
[1085.42 --> 1086.34] this may be a bit
[1086.34 --> 1087.42] irrelevant to us
[1087.42 --> 1088.30] here in North America,
[1088.74 --> 1089.62] are we aware
[1089.62 --> 1091.00] of how some countries
[1091.00 --> 1091.84] normalize
[1091.84 --> 1092.60] the abortions
[1092.60 --> 1093.20] of babies
[1093.20 --> 1094.24] with confirmed
[1094.24 --> 1094.98] Down syndrome
[1094.98 --> 1095.60] in the womb?
[1095.60 --> 1096.92] And it's just normal
[1096.92 --> 1097.82] to just get rid
[1097.82 --> 1098.36] of your baby
[1098.36 --> 1099.60] when you can prove
[1099.60 --> 1100.26] scientifically
[1100.26 --> 1101.30] that your baby
[1101.30 --> 1102.20] has Down syndrome.
[1102.88 --> 1103.58] Oh, okay,
[1103.90 --> 1105.62] that's the final okay,
[1105.82 --> 1106.84] confirmation that I can
[1106.84 --> 1107.74] get rid of this baby.
[1108.66 --> 1110.02] And that's daunting.
[1110.40 --> 1111.28] It's normalized
[1111.28 --> 1112.60] in certain countries
[1112.60 --> 1113.60] that we live in.
[1115.04 --> 1115.72] Oh, Christianity
[1115.72 --> 1116.72] doesn't exist
[1116.72 --> 1117.34] in those countries
[1117.34 --> 1117.82] probably.
[1118.10 --> 1118.40] No.
[1119.56 --> 1120.06] No.
[1121.24 --> 1122.46] Christians do exist
[1122.46 --> 1123.28] in those countries,
[1123.46 --> 1125.02] but it's still normalized.
[1125.60 --> 1126.64] To get rid of babies
[1126.64 --> 1127.62] that are not wanted.
[1133.72 --> 1134.84] And what does Scripture
[1134.84 --> 1135.48] tell us
[1135.48 --> 1136.06] in the face
[1136.06 --> 1137.42] of this daunting battle?
[1140.10 --> 1141.34] Along with John,
[1142.00 --> 1143.00] Paul says in Romans,
[1143.12 --> 1143.94] the famous verse,
[1143.94 --> 1145.98] Do not be conformed
[1145.98 --> 1146.66] to the patterns
[1146.66 --> 1147.44] of this world,
[1148.16 --> 1149.38] but be transformed
[1149.38 --> 1150.42] by the renewing
[1150.42 --> 1151.08] of your mind.
[1151.84 --> 1152.20] Then,
[1152.44 --> 1153.62] and here's the important part,
[1153.88 --> 1155.00] then you will be able
[1155.00 --> 1155.62] to test
[1155.62 --> 1156.60] and approve
[1156.60 --> 1157.20] what
[1157.20 --> 1159.32] God's will is,
[1159.40 --> 1160.42] not ours.
[1161.84 --> 1162.72] God's will.
[1163.88 --> 1164.52] His good,
[1164.94 --> 1165.30] pleasing,
[1165.50 --> 1166.92] and perfect will.
[1166.92 --> 1167.92] God's will.
[1167.92 --> 1167.96] God's will.
[1167.96 --> 1168.24] God's will.
[1168.24 --> 1168.92] God's will.
[1168.92 --> 1168.94] God's will.
[1168.94 --> 1171.96] That's what we stand for.
[1172.50 --> 1173.88] We belong to God
[1173.88 --> 1175.24] because we,
[1175.46 --> 1176.34] as God's people,
[1176.80 --> 1178.04] we are a people
[1178.04 --> 1179.56] that have been transformed
[1179.56 --> 1180.78] by the renewing
[1180.78 --> 1181.68] of our minds,
[1181.96 --> 1183.90] by the Holy Spirit,
[1184.02 --> 1185.02] by the work of the cross
[1185.02 --> 1185.74] and the resurrection.
[1186.26 --> 1187.72] We have been transformed
[1187.72 --> 1188.56] by the renewing
[1188.56 --> 1189.18] of our minds.
[1189.38 --> 1190.06] And we stand
[1190.06 --> 1190.96] against the world
[1190.96 --> 1192.00] and we no longer
[1192.00 --> 1192.98] love the world,
[1193.10 --> 1194.50] but we love God.
[1194.50 --> 1197.08] we totally agape
[1197.08 --> 1198.28] our maker,
[1198.76 --> 1199.68] not the ways
[1199.68 --> 1200.30] of this world.
[1200.54 --> 1201.58] Or at least
[1201.58 --> 1203.58] that's what our desire is
[1203.58 --> 1205.16] as transformed people.
[1206.80 --> 1207.84] But name the reality.
[1208.34 --> 1209.40] That's not as easy
[1209.40 --> 1210.14] as we say,
[1210.22 --> 1210.58] is it?
