[4954.46 --> 4955.88] Become part of that conversation, |
[4956.04 --> 4957.04] especially if you are |
[4957.04 --> 4957.82] a young person here |
[4957.82 --> 4958.54] because your voice |
[4958.54 --> 4959.38] is so important |
[4959.38 --> 4960.44] and matters for us |
[4960.44 --> 4961.78] to hear in that. |
[4963.30 --> 4963.78] But, |
[4964.06 --> 4966.12] even as we deconstruct |
[4966.12 --> 4966.88] old beliefs, |
[4967.06 --> 4968.20] even as we differentiate |
[4968.20 --> 4969.62] to our own unique expression |
[4969.62 --> 4970.26] of belief, |
[4970.70 --> 4972.14] we need to take |
[4972.14 --> 4973.58] that same engagement, |
[4974.46 --> 4974.58] right, |
[4974.62 --> 4976.32] that same desire |
[4976.32 --> 4977.82] to ask hard questions, |
[4978.04 --> 4979.08] that same impulse |
[4979.08 --> 4980.04] to deconstruct, |
[4980.86 --> 4981.78] we need to take that |
[4981.78 --> 4982.58] and apply it |
[4982.58 --> 4983.18] to the beliefs |
[4983.18 --> 4983.90] and the creeds |
[4983.90 --> 4984.56] of our culture. |
[4985.36 --> 4986.10] That's what Paul |
[4986.10 --> 4986.90] is saying here. |
[4987.66 --> 4988.96] That the fruit of growing, |
[4989.10 --> 4990.04] the result of growing, |
[4990.18 --> 4991.02] of becoming mature, |
[4991.16 --> 4992.26] of no longer being infants, |
[4992.64 --> 4993.76] means that we don't have |
[4993.76 --> 4994.38] to be tossed |
[4994.38 --> 4995.14] back and forth |
[4995.14 --> 4995.82] by the waves |
[4995.82 --> 4997.28] and blown here and there |
[4997.28 --> 4998.62] by every wind of teaching |
[4998.62 --> 4999.32] or by the cunning |
[4999.32 --> 5000.52] and craftiness of people |
[5000.52 --> 5002.10] into their disqueful steaming. |
[5003.06 --> 5005.10] We need to deconstruct |
[5005.10 --> 5006.14] the teachings, |
[5006.46 --> 5007.26] all the teachings, |
[5007.26 --> 5008.64] that we come across. |
[5008.74 --> 5009.30] We need to test |
[5009.30 --> 5010.06] every spirit. |
[5010.32 --> 5010.78] This is what we're |
[5010.78 --> 5011.46] encouraged to do |
[5011.46 --> 5012.04] in the Bible |
[5012.04 --> 5013.08] and we need to ask |
[5013.08 --> 5013.78] the hard questions |
[5013.78 --> 5014.80] of every idea. |
[5015.24 --> 5016.44] That's what we do here. |
[5018.12 --> 5019.16] And can I tell you, |
[5019.28 --> 5019.54] again, |
[5019.80 --> 5021.10] because I do love tradition, |
[5021.54 --> 5022.10] the tradition |
[5022.10 --> 5023.14] of the Christian faith |
[5023.14 --> 5024.78] is to not shy away |
[5024.78 --> 5026.10] from hard conversations |
[5026.10 --> 5027.40] and these kinds of questions. |
[5028.38 --> 5030.04] And that's how growth starts. |
[5032.08 --> 5033.36] But it's not enough |
[5033.36 --> 5034.28] just to cast off |
[5034.28 --> 5035.38] these old beliefs |
[5035.38 --> 5036.36] or to deconstruct |
[5036.36 --> 5037.06] other beliefs. |
[5037.96 --> 5039.22] We have to cling |
[5039.22 --> 5040.92] to a new belief |
[5040.92 --> 5042.24] or a right belief. |
[5043.12 --> 5044.10] In the words of my grid, |
[5044.24 --> 5045.10] we need to receive |
[5045.10 --> 5045.80] an instruction. |
[5046.86 --> 5048.00] That's step two, right? |
[5048.06 --> 5048.48] Paul says, |
[5048.92 --> 5049.28] instead, |
[5049.60 --> 5050.78] speaking the truth |
[5050.78 --> 5051.74] in love. |
[5052.70 --> 5053.62] Now that's a phrase, |
[5053.78 --> 5054.50] truth in love |
[5054.50 --> 5055.52] or truth in grace |
[5055.52 --> 5056.98] that sometimes gets bandied about |
[5056.98 --> 5057.56] and we haven't done |
[5057.56 --> 5058.78] a good job of defining it. |
[5059.44 --> 5060.60] But that means |
[5060.60 --> 5062.68] hearing a word of truth |
[5062.68 --> 5064.14] spoken in a way |
[5064.14 --> 5065.88] that compels my imagination |
[5065.88 --> 5067.54] and captivates my heart. |
[5067.54 --> 5069.00] It means receiving |
[5069.00 --> 5070.32] an instruction |
[5070.32 --> 5071.60] that I know |
[5071.60 --> 5072.78] not only intuitively |
[5072.78 --> 5073.72] to be true, |
[5073.92 --> 5075.34] but that I can see |
[5075.34 --> 5077.06] working out logically |
[5077.06 --> 5078.82] also as true. |
[5079.96 --> 5080.90] We need to sit |
[5080.90 --> 5082.06] under the preached word |
[5082.06 --> 5083.42] week in and week out. |
