  • From the pulpit
  • 00:00:06.429 --> 00:00:07.697
  • Of the first baptist church of dallas, texas,
  • 00:00:07.697 --> 00:00:09.899
  • This is "pathway to victory" with dr. robert jeffress.
  • 00:00:09.899 --> 00:00:14.037
  • Hi, i'm robert jeffress.
  • 00:00:14.537 --> 00:00:15.839
  • And welcome again to "pathway to victory."
  • 00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:18.975
  • Have you noticed that nearly all the pastors
  • 00:00:18.975 --> 00:00:21.211
  • Who are publicly exposed for sin have something in common?
  • 00:00:21.211 --> 00:00:25.515
  • Their sins typically involve one of two things,
  • 00:00:25.515 --> 00:00:28.818
  • Money or sex, and that's not a coincidence.
  • 00:00:28.818 --> 00:00:33.089
  • Today we're going to look at a stern warning in hebrews 13
  • 00:00:33.089 --> 00:00:37.760
  • About the dangers of these two pitfalls
  • 00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:40.530
  • And how we can avoid personal demise.
  • 00:00:40.530 --> 00:00:43.867
  • My message is titled, "detours that destroy,"
  • 00:00:43.867 --> 00:00:47.537

  • 00:03:47.884 --> 00:03:54.223
  • He's talking about there's a judgment for christians
  • 00:03:55.291 --> 00:03:58.194
  • Who fall into fornication
  • 00:03:58.194 --> 00:04:00.830
  • Or into any other type of immorality.
  • 00:04:00.830 --> 00:04:04.634
  • You know, today the non-christian says,
  • 00:04:04.634 --> 00:04:06.703
  • "oh, there's nothing wrong with sex.
  • 00:04:06.703 --> 00:04:08.738
  • It's just a natural bodily function
  • 00:04:08.738 --> 00:04:11.708
  • That needs to be satisfied,
  • 00:04:11.708 --> 00:04:13.743
  • Like getting thirsty or getting hungry."
  • 00:04:13.743 --> 00:04:15.645
  • In fact, one unbeliever wrote, quote,
  • 00:04:15.645 --> 00:04:17.447
  • "sex is a function of the body,
  • 00:04:17.447 --> 00:04:19.248
  • A drive which man shares with animals
  • 00:04:19.248 --> 00:04:22.185
  • Like eating, drinking, and sleeping.
  • 00:04:22.185 --> 00:04:24.587
  • It's a physical demand that must be satisfied.
  • 00:04:24.587 --> 00:04:28.124
  • If you don't satisfy it,
  • 00:04:28.124 --> 00:04:29.425
  • You will have all sorts of neurosis
  • 00:04:29.425 --> 00:04:31.327
  • And repressive psychoses."
  • 00:04:31.327 --> 00:04:34.931
  • The writer of hebrews
  • 00:04:35.431 --> 00:04:37.266
  • And god himself says sex is more than just a physical act.
  • 00:04:37.266 --> 00:04:42.605
  • It is an emotional, it is a spiritual act,
  • 00:04:43.506 --> 00:04:46.809
  • And that's why paul said
  • 00:04:46.809 --> 00:04:48.077
  • In 1 corinthians 6:18, "flee immorality.
  • 00:04:48.077 --> 00:04:51.748
  • For every other sin that a man commits is outside the body,
  • 00:04:51.748 --> 00:04:55.852
  • But an immoral man sins against his own body."
  • 00:04:55.852 --> 00:04:59.522
  • Listen, all sin is sin, i understand that,
  • 00:05:00.390 --> 00:05:02.358
  • But some sins have greater consequences than other sins do.
  • 00:05:02.358 --> 00:05:07.096
  • And when you join yourself
  • 00:05:07.096 --> 00:05:08.798
  • To somebody you're not married to,
  • 00:05:08.798 --> 00:05:10.566
  • You're not just joining your bodies together,
  • 00:05:10.566 --> 00:05:13.069
  • You're joining your souls and your spirit together as well.
  • 00:05:13.069 --> 00:05:16.806
  • And it can have devastating consequences.
  • 00:05:16.806 --> 00:05:20.009
  • Back in 1992, i was reading charles swindoll's newsletter
  • 00:05:21.177 --> 00:05:26.382
  • To his church congregation in fullerton, california.
  • 00:05:27.450 --> 00:05:30.653
  • I used to read it every week,
  • 00:05:30.653 --> 00:05:31.921
  • He would write a pastor's pen like i do.
  • 00:05:31.921 --> 00:05:35.291
  • And there's one of those issues
  • 00:05:35.291 --> 00:05:36.793
  • That really caught my attention.
  • 00:05:36.793 --> 00:05:38.494
  • He was talking about the consequences of sexual immorality.
  • 00:05:38.494 --> 00:05:43.633
  • And it made such an impression on me
  • 00:05:44.434 --> 00:05:46.002
  • I clipped it out and kept it in my file all of these years.
  • 00:05:46.002 --> 00:05:49.906
  • I'm talking to some of you in this congregation right now,
  • 00:05:51.073 --> 00:05:53.209
  • Some of you watching or listening to this message.
  • 00:05:53.209 --> 00:05:55.945
  • Right now, you're involved in a secret immoral relationship,
  • 00:05:55.945 --> 00:06:02.351
  • Or maybe you're just on the edge,
  • 00:06:03.085 --> 00:06:06.088
  • About to fall into such a relationship.
  • 00:06:06.088 --> 00:06:09.525
  • Before you go any further,
  • 00:06:10.092 --> 00:06:13.629
  • I want you to listen carefully
  • 00:06:13.629 --> 00:06:15.131
  • To the very real potential consequences of that immorality.
  • 00:06:15.131 --> 00:06:20.369
  • Number one, the total devastation
  • 00:06:21.103 --> 00:06:22.438
  • That will bring to your children.
  • 00:06:22.438 --> 00:06:24.774
  • Their growth, innocence, trust,
  • 00:06:24.774 --> 00:06:27.443
  • And healthy outlook on life will be permanently damaged.
  • 00:06:27.443 --> 00:06:31.848
  • The embarrassment of facing other christians
  • 00:06:32.748 --> 00:06:34.917
  • Who once appreciated you, respected you,
  • 00:06:34.917 --> 00:06:37.620
  • And trusted you will be overwhelming.
  • 00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:40.957
  • If you are engaged in the lord's work,
  • 00:06:41.791 --> 00:06:43.726
  • You will suffer the immediate loss of your job
  • 00:06:43.726 --> 00:06:46.829
  • And the support of those with whom you work.
  • 00:06:46.829 --> 00:06:49.665
  • The dark shadow will accompany you everywhere and forever.
  • 00:06:49.665 --> 00:06:54.737
  • Disillusionment and anger will spread rapidly
  • 00:06:55.705 --> 00:06:58.174
  • Among those to whom you once ministered.
  • 00:06:58.174 --> 00:07:01.177
  • Your fall will give others license to do the same.
  • 00:07:01.177 --> 00:07:05.648
  • Your mate will immediately be isolated
  • 00:07:06.415 --> 00:07:08.818
  • By most of those who once stood near.
  • 00:07:08.818 --> 00:07:12.054
  • Guilt, shame, and rejection he or she is sure to feel
  • 00:07:12.054 --> 00:07:16.492
  • Will accompany the anguish of loneliness.
  • 00:07:16.492 --> 00:07:19.862
  • The inner peace you once enjoyed will be gone forever.
  • 00:07:19.862 --> 00:07:25.201
  • You'll set in motion a generational chain reaction.
  • 00:07:26.235 --> 00:07:28.871
  • You won't be able to stop it no matter how hard you try.
  • 00:07:28.871 --> 00:07:32.742
  • The heartache you will cause
  • 00:07:33.342 --> 00:07:35.177
  • To your parents, your family, your peers, your mentors,
  • 00:07:35.177 --> 00:07:40.516
  • And your disciples will be indescribable.
  • 00:07:41.384 --> 00:07:43.553
  • You will never be able
  • 00:07:44.053 --> 00:07:45.454
  • To erase your fall from your or other people's mind.
  • 00:07:45.454 --> 00:07:49.959
  • As solomon wrote, your "reproach will not be blotted out."
  • 00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:54.964
  • This will indelibly remain etched on your life's record.
  • 00:07:54.964 --> 00:07:59.702
  • The name of jesus christ whom you once honored
  • 00:08:00.636 --> 00:08:03.673
  • Will be tarnished, giving the enemies of the faith
  • 00:08:03.673 --> 00:08:06.943
  • Further reason to sneer and jeer.
  • 00:08:06.943 --> 00:08:10.112
  • Your mate will feel betrayed
  • 00:08:10.713 --> 00:08:12.949
  • And can never again say that you are a model of fidelity.
  • 00:08:12.949 --> 00:08:17.053
  • Suspicions will rob her or him of trust.
  • 00:08:17.053 --> 00:08:20.690
  • Your escapades will introduce to your life
  • 00:08:21.591 --> 00:08:24.460
  • And your mate's life the very real probability
  • 00:08:24.460 --> 00:08:28.564
  • Of sexually transmitted disease.
  • 00:08:28.564 --> 00:08:31.400
  • And then swindoll closes his article with these words,
  • 00:08:32.501 --> 00:08:35.805
  • "solomon was right.
  • 00:08:35.805 --> 00:08:38.207
  • The way of the transgressor is hard.
  • 00:08:38.207 --> 00:08:42.712
  • Forgiveness may come, the affair may end,
  • 00:08:42.712 --> 00:08:46.849
  • Restoration to fellowship may occur,
  • 00:08:46.849 --> 00:08:50.286
  • But these consequences will never go away."
  • 00:08:50.286 --> 00:08:57.126
  • Avoid the detour of immorality.
  • 00:08:57.760 --> 00:09:02.231
  • The writer gives a second detour we ought to avoid
  • 00:09:03.265 --> 00:09:06.769
  • With the same kind of resolve,
  • 00:09:06.769 --> 00:09:10.306
  • And that is materialism.
  • 00:09:10.306 --> 00:09:13.175
  • Materialism. look at verses five and six.
  • 00:09:13.175 --> 00:09:15.511
  • "make sure that your character
  • 00:09:15.511 --> 00:09:17.947
  • Is free from the love of money,
  • 00:09:17.947 --> 00:09:20.383
  • Being content with what you have,
  • 00:09:20.383 --> 00:09:23.185
  • For he himself has said, 'i will never desert you,
  • 00:09:23.185 --> 00:09:26.589
  • Nor will i forsake you,'
  • 00:09:26.589 --> 00:09:28.557
  • So that we can confidently say, 'the lord is my helper.
  • 00:09:28.557 --> 00:09:32.395
  • I will not be afraid.
  • 00:09:32.395 --> 00:09:34.296
  • What will man do to me?'"
  • 00:09:34.296 --> 00:09:37.833
  • And talking about the trap of materialism,
  • 00:09:37.833 --> 00:09:40.002
  • Paul warned timothy in 1 timothy 6:10,
  • 00:09:40.002 --> 00:09:42.705
  • "for the love of money is the root of all sorts of evil,
  • 00:09:42.705 --> 00:09:47.476
  • And some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith
  • 00:09:47.476 --> 00:09:50.780
  • And pierced himself with many griefs."
  • 00:09:50.780 --> 00:09:54.283
  • Money has a power to lure you off the track
  • 00:09:54.283 --> 00:09:57.553
  • And distract you in your relationship with god.
  • 00:09:57.553 --> 00:10:00.756
  • Don't fall into the trap of thinking,
  • 00:10:00.756 --> 00:10:02.324
  • "well, only rich people suffer from materialism."
  • 00:10:02.324 --> 00:10:06.696
  • The audience to whom the writer was addressing
  • 00:10:06.696 --> 00:10:09.532
  • In the book of hebrews were poor folks.
  • 00:10:09.532 --> 00:10:12.735
  • People who had lost everything
  • 00:10:12.735 --> 00:10:14.336
  • Because they had followed jesus christ.
  • 00:10:14.336 --> 00:10:17.273
  • Did you know those who are poor can be just as materialistic
  • 00:10:17.273 --> 00:10:20.776
  • As those who are rich,
  • 00:10:20.776 --> 00:10:22.511
  • Believing that money is the answer to their problems?
  • 00:10:22.511 --> 00:10:26.549
  • No, it's a problem that is universal.
  • 00:10:26.549 --> 00:10:29.218
  • How do you keep materialism from getting you off track?
  • 00:10:29.218 --> 00:10:32.988
  • Again, look at these verses
  • 00:10:32.988 --> 00:10:35.024
  • And notice three commands right inside this passage
  • 00:10:35.024 --> 00:10:38.928
  • For avoiding the detour of materialism.
  • 00:10:38.928 --> 00:10:41.330
  • Number one, avoid unnecessary entanglements with money.
  • 00:10:41.330 --> 00:10:46.836
  • In verse five, he says,
  • 00:10:47.336 --> 00:10:48.771
  • "let your character be free from the love of money."
  • 00:10:48.771 --> 00:10:53.609
  • 2 timothy 2:4, paul says,
  • 00:10:54.176 --> 00:10:55.611
  • "no soldier in active service entangles himself
  • 00:10:55.611 --> 00:10:59.915
  • In the affairs of everyday life,
  • 00:10:59.915 --> 00:11:01.417
  • So that he may please the one
  • 00:11:01.417 --> 00:11:03.185
  • Who enlisted him as a soldier."
  • 00:11:03.185 --> 00:11:05.121
  • There is something about money and focusing on money
  • 00:11:05.121 --> 00:11:08.224
  • That trips you up as you're running the race.
  • 00:11:08.224 --> 00:11:10.760
  • It gets you entangled with things
  • 00:11:10.760 --> 00:11:12.695
  • You shouldn't be entangled with.
  • 00:11:12.695 --> 00:11:15.798
  • Now the truth is we all have
  • 00:11:15.798 --> 00:11:18.134
  • To deal with money at some level.
  • 00:11:18.134 --> 00:11:20.136
  • We have to earn it, we have to spend it
  • 00:11:20.136 --> 00:11:22.638
  • To take care of ours and our family's needs.
  • 00:11:22.638 --> 00:11:25.074
  • We have to put some aside for the future as proverbs said.
  • 00:11:25.074 --> 00:11:28.244
  • We can't say we're not going to have anything to do with money,
  • 00:11:28.244 --> 00:11:32.414
  • But the writer is saying,
  • 00:11:32.414 --> 00:11:33.816
  • Don't let it become the focus of your life.
  • 00:11:33.816 --> 00:11:35.751
  • Don't let it trip you up and get entangled with it.
  • 00:11:35.751 --> 00:11:39.955
  • Do you know one way people get,
  • 00:11:40.589 --> 00:11:42.591
  • Christians get entangled with money
  • 00:11:42.591 --> 00:11:44.894
  • Where it becomes an obsession with them?
  • 00:11:44.894 --> 00:11:47.563
  • It's when they become slaves to debt.
  • 00:11:47.563 --> 00:11:51.367
  • Consumer debt is a major problem
  • 00:11:52.001 --> 00:11:55.037
  • Among all americans, including christians.
  • 00:11:55.037 --> 00:11:58.908
  • I was reading just this week that the average american
  • 00:11:58.908 --> 00:12:01.977
  • Has $5,700 on his credit card,
  • 00:12:01.977 --> 00:12:05.848
  • $5,700 of credit card debt,
  • 00:12:05.848 --> 00:12:07.883
  • And you may think,
  • 00:12:07.883 --> 00:12:09.185
  • "well, that's not a big deal because, pastor,
  • 00:12:09.185 --> 00:12:10.352
  • Interest rates are really low."
  • 00:12:10.352 --> 00:12:12.621
  • And they are low right now. except on credit cards.
  • 00:12:12.621 --> 00:12:16.625
  • You know what the average credit card rate
  • 00:12:16.625 --> 00:12:18.127
  • Is right now today?
  • 00:12:18.127 --> 00:12:19.428
  • 17.89%.
  • 00:12:19.428 --> 00:12:23.632
  • Now, that means if you're an average american
  • 00:12:23.632 --> 00:12:26.001
  • With $5,700 of debt and you say,
  • 00:12:26.001 --> 00:12:29.839
  • "i'm going to get rid of that,
  • 00:12:29.839 --> 00:12:31.307
  • I'm going to pay off $100 of that debt every month."
  • 00:12:31.307 --> 00:12:34.510
  • Do you know how long it will take you
  • 00:12:34.510 --> 00:12:36.011
  • To pay that debt off because of the accruing interest?
  • 00:12:36.011 --> 00:12:39.415
  • 10 and a half years.
  • 00:12:39.415 --> 00:12:42.384
  • And at the end of 10 and a half years,
  • 00:12:42.384 --> 00:12:44.086
  • You will have spent $7,100 on interest
  • 00:12:44.086 --> 00:12:48.557
  • In addition to the $5,700 on the principle,
  • 00:12:48.557 --> 00:12:51.627
  • Almost $13,000 to pay off that $5,700 debt.
  • 00:12:51.627 --> 00:12:56.966
  • That's what debt does. it entangles you.
  • 00:12:57.833 --> 00:13:00.436
  • In the book of proverbs,
  • 00:13:00.436 --> 00:13:01.804
  • The writer says in proverbs 22:7,
  • 00:13:01.804 --> 00:13:03.806
  • "the rich rules over the poor,
  • 00:13:03.806 --> 00:13:05.841
  • And the borrower becomes the lender's slave."
  • 00:13:05.841 --> 00:13:10.312
  • Secondly, to keep materialism
  • 00:13:10.312 --> 00:13:13.649
  • From detouring your relationship with god,
  • 00:13:13.649 --> 00:13:15.784
  • Learn the secret of contentment.
  • 00:13:15.784 --> 00:13:21.957
  • He says here in verse five, "be content with what you have."
  • 00:13:19.288 --> 00:13:27.229
  • Now, admittedly, that's a lot easier
  • 00:13:28.030 --> 00:13:29.265
  • Said than done, isn't it?
  • 00:13:29.265 --> 00:13:31.000
  • To be content with what you have.
  • 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.035
  • The truth is, no matter what income level you're at,
  • 00:13:33.035 --> 00:13:36.338
  • There's always somebody who has more than you do.
  • 00:13:36.338 --> 00:13:39.375
  • And you think, "if only i could have this amount of money,
  • 00:13:39.375 --> 00:13:42.011
  • Then i could really have all of my needs met
  • 00:13:42.011 --> 00:13:44.346
  • And i would be free from the love of money.
  • 00:13:44.346 --> 00:13:46.248
  • I just need a little bit more."
  • 00:13:46.248 --> 00:13:49.318
  • I remember watching an interview
  • 00:13:49.318 --> 00:13:50.953
  • Between barbara walters, remember her,
  • 00:13:50.953 --> 00:13:54.390
  • And the late ted turner, who founded cnn.
  • 00:13:54.390 --> 00:13:57.559
  • He was a billionaire.
  • 00:13:57.559 --> 00:13:59.361
  • And i remember she asked him,
  • 00:13:59.361 --> 00:14:00.562
  • "ted, how does it feel to be so wealthy?"
  • 00:14:00.562 --> 00:14:04.767
  • He said, "barbara, i'll tell you how it feels.
  • 00:14:04.767 --> 00:14:07.403
  • It's like a paper bag.
  • 00:14:07.403 --> 00:14:10.940
  • Everybody sees the paper bag,
  • 00:14:10.940 --> 00:14:13.509
  • Everybody thinks they want the paper bag,
  • 00:14:13.509 --> 00:14:16.412
  • And they get the paper bag
  • 00:14:16.412 --> 00:14:17.980
  • And open it up only to find it's empty."
  • 00:14:17.980 --> 00:14:21.850
  • Now, that's what a billionaire is saying about wealth.
  • 00:14:22.918 --> 00:14:25.521
  • It is empty. it's a mirage.
  • 00:14:25.521 --> 00:14:28.324
  • It doesn't satisfy your deepest needs.
  • 00:14:28.324 --> 00:14:31.927
  • The secret to having your needs met
  • 00:14:31.927 --> 00:14:34.630
  • Is to learn the secret of contentment.
  • 00:14:34.630 --> 00:14:38.067
  • I wrote a book on contentment years ago,
  • 00:14:38.067 --> 00:14:40.402
  • But you know, i said the word contentment,
  • 00:14:40.402 --> 00:14:42.471
  • The english word comes
  • 00:14:42.471 --> 00:14:43.739
  • From an old english word that is containment.
  • 00:14:43.739 --> 00:14:47.209
  • It comes from the word containment.
  • 00:14:47.209 --> 00:14:49.445
  • A content person is one who is self-contained.
  • 00:14:49.445 --> 00:14:54.750
  • That is, his happiness in life, his joy, his satisfaction
  • 00:14:55.884 --> 00:15:00.389
  • Is not tied to the dow jones industrial average.
  • 00:15:01.357 --> 00:15:04.093
  • It's not tied to the square footage of his home.
  • 00:15:04.093 --> 00:15:07.196
  • It's not tied or dependent upon the kind of car he drives.
  • 00:15:07.196 --> 00:15:10.899
  • He's not looking to external things to fill him up.
  • 00:15:10.899 --> 00:15:15.537
  • He's looking inwardly.
  • 00:15:15.537 --> 00:15:18.240
  • And for a christian,
  • 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:19.742
  • That inward resource is a relationship with jesus christ.
  • 00:15:19.742 --> 00:15:23.979
  • No amount of money, no amount of possessions
  • 00:15:23.979 --> 00:15:26.915
  • Can satisfy the void of an empty life.
  • 00:15:26.915 --> 00:15:29.785
  • And that's why paul said in philippians 4:11-12,
  • 00:15:29.785 --> 00:15:32.921
  • "not that i speak from want,
  • 00:15:32.921 --> 00:15:35.157
  • For i have learned to be content
  • 00:15:35.157 --> 00:15:36.892
  • In whatever circumstance i'm in.
  • 00:15:36.892 --> 00:15:39.728
  • I know how to get along with humble means,
  • 00:15:39.728 --> 00:15:42.131
  • And i know how to live in prosperity.
  • 00:15:42.131 --> 00:15:44.633
  • In each and every circumstance
  • 00:15:44.633 --> 00:15:47.236
  • I've learned the secret of being filled and of going hungry,
  • 00:15:47.236 --> 00:15:51.273
  • Both of having abundance and suffering need."
  • 00:15:51.273 --> 00:15:54.376
  • You know what that secret of contentment is he learned?
  • 00:15:54.376 --> 00:15:57.079
  • He tells us in the next verse:
  • 00:15:57.079 --> 00:15:59.281
  • "i can do all things through christ who strengthens me."
  • 00:15:59.281 --> 00:16:04.019
  • Did you know that's the context of the verse?
  • 00:16:04.019 --> 00:16:06.455
  • "i can do all things through christ who strengthens me."
  • 00:16:06.455 --> 00:16:08.791
  • Contentment, the secret to contentment
  • 00:16:08.791 --> 00:16:11.794
  • Is tying your sense of well-being to jesus christ.
  • 00:16:11.794 --> 00:16:16.198
  • That's the secret of contentment.
  • 00:16:16.198 --> 00:16:19.201
  • But to do that,
  • 00:16:19.201 --> 00:16:20.702
  • We need to follow this final command in hebrews 13:5-6,
  • 00:16:20.702 --> 00:16:25.641
  • That is, acknowledge the sufficiency of god.
  • 00:16:26.542 --> 00:16:31.046
  • There is no contentment
  • 00:16:31.046 --> 00:16:32.748
  • Apart from trusting, acknowledging the sufficiency of god.
  • 00:16:32.748 --> 00:16:36.618
  • "be content with what you have," verse five,
  • 00:16:36.618 --> 00:16:38.854
  • "for he himself has said, 'i will never desert you,
  • 00:16:38.854 --> 00:16:43.592
  • Nor will i ever forsake you,'
  • 00:16:43.592 --> 00:16:45.961
  • So that we can confidently say, 'the lord is my helper.
  • 00:16:45.961 --> 00:16:49.565
  • I will not be afraid. what will man do to me?'"
  • 00:16:49.565 --> 00:16:54.336
  • Remember i told you that these hebrew christians,
  • 00:16:54.336 --> 00:16:57.139
  • Chapter 10, verse 34 says,
  • 00:16:57.139 --> 00:16:59.174
  • They had actually had their property seized
  • 00:16:59.174 --> 00:17:01.877
  • Because of their christian faith.
  • 00:17:01.877 --> 00:17:03.679
  • The writer said, "you know that you have for yourselves
  • 00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:06.915
  • A better possession and a lasting one."
  • 00:17:06.915 --> 00:17:10.519
  • And that better possession, that lasting one,
  • 00:17:10.519 --> 00:17:13.021
  • Is rooted in the sufficiency of god.
  • 00:17:13.021 --> 00:17:16.892
  • You know, i realize today i'm speaking
  • 00:17:16.892 --> 00:17:18.627
  • To some of you who may be in financial knots right now.
  • 00:17:18.627 --> 00:17:23.132
  • You're tied up and worried about your financial future.
  • 00:17:23.132 --> 00:17:26.635
  • Maybe you've been laid off,
  • 00:17:26.635 --> 00:17:28.504
  • Maybe you've had your savings depleted.
  • 00:17:28.504 --> 00:17:30.973
  • Maybe there's a medical need that you have.
  • 00:17:30.973 --> 00:17:33.242
  • And to be quite honest, when you hear words
  • 00:17:33.242 --> 00:17:36.812
  • From people who aren't going through
  • 00:17:36.812 --> 00:17:38.380
  • That particular problem at this time,
  • 00:17:38.380 --> 00:17:41.483
  • When they say, "oh, trust in god.
  • 00:17:41.483 --> 00:17:43.952
  • Be content with what you have."
  • 00:17:43.952 --> 00:17:46.488
  • Those words seem hollow. they don't help at all.
  • 00:17:47.422 --> 00:17:52.694
  • Don't listen to my words.
  • 00:17:53.262 --> 00:17:55.697
  • Listen to god's word.
  • 00:17:55.697 --> 00:17:57.566
  • Listen to god's promise to you.
  • 00:17:57.566 --> 00:17:59.568
  • He's the one who says,
  • 00:17:59.568 --> 00:18:00.969
  • "i will never leave you,
  • 00:18:00.969 --> 00:18:04.773
  • Nor will i forsake you."
  • 00:18:04.773 --> 00:18:07.376
  • Or listen to the testimony of one of god's saints
  • 00:18:07.376 --> 00:18:10.379
  • Who suffered loss and needed god's sufficiency.
  • 00:18:10.379 --> 00:18:13.549
  • He said, "the lord is my helper.
  • 00:18:13.549 --> 00:18:16.051
  • I will not be afraid.
  • 00:18:16.051 --> 00:18:17.786
  • What can man do to me?"
  • 00:18:17.786 --> 00:18:21.657
  • Men and women, for 2,000 years have trusted
  • 00:18:21.657 --> 00:18:24.426
  • In the sufficiency of jesus christ,
  • 00:18:24.426 --> 00:18:26.795
  • And they have never been disappointed.
  • 00:18:26.795 --> 00:18:29.731
  • Trust in the sufficiency of god.
  • 00:18:29.731 --> 00:18:34.336
  • As we close today, i want to close
  • 00:18:35.070 --> 00:18:37.039
  • With two final thoughts and two commitments

  • To immorality of any kind?
  • 00:18:55.490 --> 00:18:58.694

  • "i'm going to abstain
  • 00:19:02.497 --> 00:19:03.765

  • 00:19:03.765 --> 00:19:07.803

  • "i'm going to say no to it today."
  • 00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:16.178
  • One tuesday evening,
  • 00:19:16.645 --> 00:19:18.680
  • A couple who are not married but living together
  • 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:23.452
  • Were watching television
  • 00:19:23.452 --> 00:19:25.220
  • And they had decided not to get married
  • 00:19:26.054 --> 00:19:28.090
  • Because frankly they didn't want to go through
  • 00:19:28.090 --> 00:19:29.658
  • The pain of another possible divorce,
  • 00:19:29.658 --> 00:19:31.927
  • So they decided to live together,
  • 00:19:31.927 --> 00:19:33.295
  • And this tuesday night they had rented a movie.
  • 00:19:33.295 --> 00:19:35.697
  • They were about halfway through the movie,
  • 00:19:35.697 --> 00:19:37.099
  • It wasn't that good, so they turned it off,
  • 00:19:37.099 --> 00:19:40.302
  • And on popped on their television set our church's program,
  • 00:19:40.302 --> 00:19:44.172
  • "pathway to victory,"
  • 00:19:44.172 --> 00:19:46.441
  • And the pastor was talking about sexual purity.
  • 00:19:46.441 --> 00:19:50.412
  • And when the woman called our church the next day, she said,
  • 00:19:51.613 --> 00:19:55.417
  • "my boyfriend and i watched that message to the very end.
  • 00:19:55.417 --> 00:20:00.022
  • We were glued to every word.
  • 00:20:00.022 --> 00:20:02.624
  • And when the pastor had finished,
  • 00:20:02.624 --> 00:20:04.626
  • Tears were streaming down both of our faces,
  • 00:20:04.626 --> 00:20:07.195
  • And we made the commitment right then to move out,
  • 00:20:07.195 --> 00:20:11.133
  • Not to live together any longer until we got married."
  • 00:20:11.133 --> 00:20:15.837
  • That was a hard thing to do.
  • 00:20:16.438 --> 00:20:20.042
  • But they did it out of faith,
  • 00:20:20.676 --> 00:20:22.144
  • Believing that god's plan for them was really best.
  • 00:20:22.144 --> 00:20:26.648
  • Do you have that kind of faith?
  • 00:20:26.648 --> 00:20:28.817

  • 00:20:28.817 --> 00:20:31.320

  • 00:20:31.320 --> 00:20:34.956
  • I'm going to break it off.
  • 00:20:34.956 --> 00:20:36.425
