[3723.72 --> 3724.56] of post-modernity,
[3724.66 --> 3725.94] carries into our own age,
[3726.32 --> 3726.52] right,
[3726.52 --> 3727.76] there's this idea,
[3728.30 --> 3730.22] that exists,
[3730.48 --> 3731.48] in the system,
[3731.66 --> 3733.32] that is a church community,
[3733.32 --> 3734.94] to make,
[3735.38 --> 3737.24] an emotional response,
[3738.16 --> 3738.94] the arbiter,
[3739.28 --> 3740.18] or the determiner,
[3740.56 --> 3741.86] of an authentic,
[3741.86 --> 3742.94] belief.
[3744.50 --> 3745.10] And so,
[3745.38 --> 3746.84] if I don't cry,
[3747.50 --> 3748.06] in worship,
[3748.88 --> 3750.38] if I don't raise my hands,
[3750.64 --> 3751.88] if I don't dance,
[3752.76 --> 3754.14] maybe I don't actually believe.
[3755.80 --> 3757.72] And what Jesus is saying here,
[3757.88 --> 3758.14] is that,
[3758.40 --> 3760.08] an emotional response,
[3760.44 --> 3761.50] in and of itself,
[3761.50 --> 3763.64] is not a good gauge,
[3763.76 --> 3764.38] of authenticity.
[3765.96 --> 3767.40] And I think that this is something,
[3767.54 --> 3768.32] we need to hear.
[3769.34 --> 3769.52] Right,
[3769.54 --> 3770.54] in my experience,
[3770.84 --> 3771.66] particularly,
[3772.56 --> 3773.94] in talking to young men,
[3774.86 --> 3775.80] though not exclusively,
[3776.84 --> 3778.04] but I have talked with a lot,
[3778.10 --> 3778.64] of young men,
[3779.10 --> 3780.46] people in their 20s,
[3780.46 --> 3781.44] who are like,
[3781.90 --> 3783.46] I don't feel,
[3784.46 --> 3785.86] my faith,
[3786.10 --> 3787.40] the way other people,
[3787.60 --> 3787.94] feel it,
[3787.98 --> 3788.76] and the way I see,
[3788.88 --> 3789.42] other people,
[3789.42 --> 3790.22] feel it.
[3790.36 --> 3791.38] And from that,
[3791.44 --> 3792.26] they wonder,
[3792.76 --> 3793.70] maybe that means,
[3793.78 --> 3794.58] it's not true for me.
[3795.32 --> 3796.46] Maybe it's not real,
[3796.46 --> 3797.18] for me.
[3798.46 --> 3798.88] Now,
[3798.94 --> 3800.02] I want to ask those questions,
[3800.02 --> 3800.52] with you.
[3801.88 --> 3802.66] But let's,
[3802.98 --> 3804.24] in asking those questions,
[3804.62 --> 3806.14] let's not make the mistake,
[3806.30 --> 3807.44] of assuming that joy,
[3807.60 --> 3808.88] or an emotional response,
[3809.10 --> 3810.16] is the only way,
[3810.32 --> 3811.02] to affirm,
[3811.36 --> 3812.14] your belief,
[3812.32 --> 3812.94] and your faith,
[3813.06 --> 3813.86] and the truth,
[3813.94 --> 3815.12] of that in you.
[3816.70 --> 3816.88] Right,
[3816.92 --> 3817.22] in fact,
[3817.22 --> 3818.40] Jesus' point here,
[3818.48 --> 3819.42] in this part of the parable,
[3819.70 --> 3821.64] is that there is a better gauge,
[3821.64 --> 3822.86] to authenticity,
[3822.86 --> 3823.88] of belief,
[3824.26 --> 3825.42] the gauge,
[3826.24 --> 3827.12] to whether or not,
[3827.22 --> 3827.90] you have heard,
[3828.10 --> 3828.70] and believe,
[3829.10 --> 3830.00] what Jesus says,
[3830.10 --> 3831.34] and we'll end with that.
[3832.28 --> 3833.00] But for now,
[3833.56 --> 3834.08] hear this,
[3835.24 --> 3836.62] an emotional response,
[3836.72 --> 3837.68] to the words of Jesus,
[3837.86 --> 3838.44] is not,
[3838.62 --> 3839.26] in and of itself,
[3839.60 --> 3840.46] determinative,
[3840.70 --> 3842.00] for the veracity,
[3842.48 --> 3843.02] of them,
[3843.10 --> 3844.30] in your own heart,
[3844.46 --> 3844.90] and life.
[3844.90 --> 3845.22] Right,
[3847.22 --> 3849.70] it is true,
[3850.10 --> 3852.34] even if it doesn't,
[3852.34 --> 3853.00] feel,
[3853.56 --> 3854.00] true,
[3854.50 --> 3855.08] in the moment.
[3856.12 --> 3856.32] Now,
[3856.38 --> 3857.18] I'm not minimizing,
[3857.32 --> 3858.28] the role of our emotions,
[3858.42 --> 3859.08] and our feelings,
[3859.36 --> 3860.20] don't hear that,
[3860.28 --> 3860.92] because that is,
[3861.14 --> 3861.72] critical,
