[298.56 --> 300.54] can take on the divine nature, |
[301.26 --> 302.16] it's like, |
[302.40 --> 302.76] okay, |
[303.76 --> 306.02] I see who He is, |
[306.02 --> 307.66] I want to share in that. |
[308.22 --> 311.24] The second thing we looked at last week |
[311.24 --> 312.44] in verses 5 |
[312.44 --> 313.14] is that |
[313.14 --> 315.56] it's not going to happen |
[315.56 --> 317.72] if we don't intentionally then |
[317.72 --> 319.16] pursue the vision. |
[320.52 --> 321.42] Catch it, |
[322.14 --> 322.90] follow it. |
[323.66 --> 324.66] For this reason, |
[324.76 --> 325.90] we saw in verse 5, |
[326.00 --> 326.48] because, |
[326.76 --> 327.30] in other words, |
[327.34 --> 328.56] of who Jesus is, |
[329.08 --> 330.54] make every effort |
[330.54 --> 333.44] to add to this faith vision |
[333.44 --> 335.46] the qualities of knowledge, |
[335.46 --> 336.42] self-control, |
[336.84 --> 337.34] perseverance, |
[337.66 --> 338.68] and especially love. |
[340.16 --> 340.66] Well, |
[341.20 --> 343.36] once we have this vision |
[343.36 --> 343.98] and intent, |
[344.14 --> 345.50] how do you go about |
[345.50 --> 347.06] making it happen? |
[347.30 --> 348.40] That's the means. |
[349.98 --> 350.68] Well, |
[350.76 --> 352.12] we begin to practice |
[352.12 --> 353.38] the disciplines, |
[354.26 --> 355.20] the habits, |
[355.20 --> 358.28] the ways that |
[358.28 --> 360.46] open us up |
[360.46 --> 361.76] to the Spirit |
[361.76 --> 363.14] so that |
[363.14 --> 365.34] He's able to shape us |
[365.34 --> 367.58] into the image bearers |
[367.58 --> 369.16] He created us to be. |
[371.22 --> 372.26] One more word |
[372.26 --> 373.16] before we get into |
[373.16 --> 375.14] the passage about Scripture, |
[375.80 --> 376.36] and that is |
[376.36 --> 377.30] the bigger subject |
[377.30 --> 378.52] of disciplines, |
[378.64 --> 379.66] a word about that. |
[380.66 --> 381.18] They're really |
[381.18 --> 382.78] training exercises |
[382.78 --> 383.34] like, |
[383.94 --> 384.24] you know, |
[384.38 --> 385.60] practicing piano |
[385.60 --> 387.16] until you finally get it. |
[390.76 --> 391.56] Practicing, |
[391.84 --> 392.60] showing up |
[392.60 --> 393.26] for |
[393.26 --> 395.46] volleyball practices |
[395.46 --> 396.94] and doing the drills |
[396.94 --> 399.08] until you become |
[399.08 --> 399.98] good at it. |
[402.42 --> 403.34] Disciplines, |
[403.68 --> 404.36] ultimately, |
[404.70 --> 405.70] spiritual ones, |
[405.82 --> 406.66] are intended |
[406.66 --> 407.88] to help us |
[407.88 --> 409.94] do the right thing |
[409.94 --> 411.78] at the right time, |
[412.38 --> 414.76] in the right way, |
[415.48 --> 418.00] and in the right spirit, |
[418.20 --> 419.36] as someone has said. |
[420.28 --> 421.30] They help us |
[421.30 --> 422.00] bear fruit |
[422.00 --> 424.20] to do all these things |
[424.20 --> 425.18] that are involved |
[425.18 --> 425.86] with adding |
[425.86 --> 427.72] to our faith. |
[427.90 --> 428.90] And you know |
[428.90 --> 430.16] there's many disciplines, |
[431.46 --> 433.06] probably primary among them |
[433.06 --> 433.84] are being |
[433.84 --> 434.90] solitary |
[434.90 --> 435.56] and |
[435.56 --> 436.80] silent. |
[438.20 --> 439.20] So we're going to look |
[439.20 --> 439.82] at Scripture |
[439.82 --> 440.76] there's prayer, |
[440.98 --> 442.18] there's worship, |
[442.66 --> 443.48] there's service, |
[443.66 --> 444.34] there's giving, |
[445.84 --> 446.96] there's fasting. |
[447.24 --> 448.42] There's a wide variety |
[448.42 --> 448.82] of them. |
[449.78 --> 451.40] But one of the key ones |
[451.40 --> 452.46] is reading |
[452.46 --> 454.08] Scripture. |
[455.26 --> 457.04] And in order for us |
[457.04 --> 459.26] to see the importance |
[459.26 --> 462.52] of this book, |
[462.66 --> 463.62] or I should say |
