[4118.72 --> 4119.76] in the church. |
[4120.72 --> 4123.30] This was absolutely weird |
[4123.30 --> 4125.22] and abnormal behavior |
[4125.22 --> 4127.00] and yet it was precisely |
[4127.00 --> 4128.48] where the Christians |
[4128.48 --> 4129.24] knew they had to be. |
[4130.00 --> 4131.20] None of this made sense |
[4131.20 --> 4132.64] in the world of the day. |
[4133.82 --> 4133.90] Right? |
[4134.58 --> 4135.92] It's because Christians |
[4135.92 --> 4138.34] are accused of ruining society, |
[4139.10 --> 4140.90] of ruining the normal system. |
[4140.98 --> 4141.46] And honestly, |
[4141.60 --> 4142.72] if you could be empathetic to it, |
[4142.74 --> 4143.24] think about it. |
[4143.80 --> 4146.98] If you live in a farming community |
[4146.98 --> 4148.72] outside of the city of Rome, |
[4148.72 --> 4150.98] you know that the rain comes |
[4150.98 --> 4152.82] and that plants germinate |
[4152.82 --> 4154.18] because you have offered |
[4154.18 --> 4155.16] the right prayers |
[4155.16 --> 4156.52] to the right gods |
[4156.52 --> 4157.68] of fertility and growth |
[4157.68 --> 4158.42] in the right way |
[4158.42 --> 4159.50] at the right time of year. |
[4160.22 --> 4162.32] But if one person or family |
[4162.32 --> 4163.62] in your farming collective |
[4163.62 --> 4164.72] becomes a Christian |
[4164.72 --> 4166.34] and then he and his family |
[4166.34 --> 4167.32] stop worshiping |
[4167.32 --> 4168.46] these traditional gods |
[4168.46 --> 4170.52] and then the crop fails |
[4170.52 --> 4172.20] or insects come |
[4172.20 --> 4173.76] and destroy everything |
[4173.76 --> 4174.92] or there is a drought, |
[4175.36 --> 4176.32] whose fault is it? |
[4177.76 --> 4178.66] Well, there's only one person |
[4178.66 --> 4179.12] to blame. |
[4180.32 --> 4181.42] It's those Christians. |
[4182.76 --> 4182.88] Right? |
[4182.94 --> 4184.34] Their belief is dangerous |
[4184.34 --> 4186.54] to the normal ordering |
[4186.54 --> 4187.52] of society. |
[4187.68 --> 4188.92] It's messing with the fabric |
[4188.92 --> 4190.98] of life and culture. |
[4192.60 --> 4193.74] I want to ask you, |
[4194.52 --> 4197.72] is your belief dangerous? |
[4199.50 --> 4201.84] Is your faith radical? |
[4201.84 --> 4201.92] biblical? |
[4203.12 --> 4203.66] Or, |
[4203.90 --> 4206.02] is God just another tool |
[4206.02 --> 4206.74] in your bag |
[4206.74 --> 4207.38] to accomplish |
[4207.38 --> 4208.38] your prosperity? |
[4210.78 --> 4213.40] Is church just another community |
[4213.40 --> 4215.52] where you can be used |
[4215.52 --> 4217.26] and where you can use others |
[4217.26 --> 4218.06] to accomplish |
[4218.06 --> 4219.38] the Canadian dream |
[4219.38 --> 4219.96] of ease |
[4219.96 --> 4221.18] and status? |
[4222.78 --> 4224.48] Live such good lives |
[4224.48 --> 4225.38] among the pagans |
[4225.38 --> 4226.90] that though they accuse you |
[4226.90 --> 4227.76] of doing wrong, |
[4227.76 --> 4229.48] they may see your good deeds |
[4229.48 --> 4231.34] and glorify God |
[4231.34 --> 4232.24] on the day |
[4232.24 --> 4234.40] he visits us. |
[4235.56 --> 4236.54] And that's it. |
[4237.36 --> 4239.06] That's the point of it all. |
[4239.22 --> 4239.34] Right? |
[4239.40 --> 4240.44] Why do you abstain |
[4240.44 --> 4241.88] from sinful desires |
[4241.88 --> 4242.92] like a warrior? |
[4243.62 --> 4244.68] Why do you live |
[4244.68 --> 4246.02] as beloved foreigners |
[4246.02 --> 4247.28] and exiles? |
[4247.28 --> 4248.54] Why do you endure |
[4248.54 --> 4249.92] accusation |
[4249.92 --> 4250.66] and hardship |
[4250.66 --> 4251.44] and opposition |
[4251.44 --> 4253.04] and weirdness |
[4253.04 --> 4254.36] and peculiarity? |
[4255.94 --> 4257.50] For the glory |
[4257.50 --> 4259.64] of God. |
[4260.10 --> 4261.50] For the glory of God. |
[4261.60 --> 4263.56] There is no greater reason. |
[4263.72 --> 4265.20] There is no greater purpose. |
[4266.12 --> 4267.30] And you've really |
[4267.30 --> 4268.44] got to believe that. |
[4268.78 --> 4268.92] Right? |
[4268.96 --> 4270.06] You've got to be sold |
[4270.06 --> 4270.86] on the idea |
[4270.86 --> 4271.84] that God's glory |
[4271.84 --> 4274.48] really is your greatest joy. |
[4274.70 --> 4275.76] You've got to buy into |
[4275.76 --> 4277.22] that hook, line, and sinker. |
[4277.48 --> 4279.56] That Jesus is your all in all. |
[4279.80 --> 4281.46] You've got to really believe that. |
