  • But not man. nothing that comes
  • 00:11:12.955 --> 00:11:13.856
  • Nothing that comes from the outside can satisfy
  • 00:11:13.923 --> 00:11:16.659
  • From the outside can satisfy the soul that's in your body.
  • 00:11:16.726 --> 00:11:19.361
  • The soul that's in your body. happiness is not something
  • 00:11:19.428 --> 00:11:20.863
  • Happiness is not something we carry in our hands,
  • 00:11:20.930 --> 00:11:22.765

  • As a human being could be. he wrote in the bible,
  • 00:14:36.692 --> 00:14:38.260
  • He wrote in the bible, "vanity of vanities,
  • 00:14:38.327 --> 00:14:39.695
  • "vanity of vanities, i've seen all the works
  • 00:14:39.762 --> 00:14:41.096
  • I've seen all the works that are done under the sun,
  • 00:14:41.163 --> 00:14:42.698
  • That are done under the sun, and indeed,
  • 00:14:42.765 --> 00:14:43.666
  • And indeed, all is vanity,"
  • 00:14:43.732 --> 00:14:44.900
  • All is vanity," listen to this,
  • 00:14:44.967 --> 00:14:46.001
  • Listen to this, "all is vanity and grasping
  • 00:14:46.068 --> 00:14:48.604
  • "all is vanity and grasping for the wind."
  • 00:14:48.671 --> 00:14:50.606
  • For the wind." grasping for something
  • 00:14:50.673 --> 00:14:51.840
  • Grasping for something i can't catch,
  • 00:14:51.907 --> 00:14:53.175
  • I can't catch, for i can't hold.
  • 00:14:53.242 --> 00:14:54.343
  • For i can't hold. think about that.
  • 00:14:54.410 --> 00:14:56.378
  • Think about that. he was a mega millionaire
  • 00:14:56.445 --> 00:14:57.846
  • He was a mega millionaire with a thousand wives,
  • 00:14:57.913 --> 00:14:59.315
  • With a thousand wives, an army to do what he wanted,
  • 00:14:59.381 --> 00:15:01.517

  • 00:15:09.491 --> 00:15:11.060
  • Testament to the futility of trying to find happiness
  • 00:15:11.126 --> 00:15:12.761
  • Of trying to find happiness in worldly pursuits.
  • 00:15:12.828 --> 00:15:14.163
  • In worldly pursuits. it's just not there.
  • 00:15:14.229 --> 00:15:16.832
  • It's just not there. happiness comes from within
  • 00:15:16.899 --> 00:15:18.767
  • Happiness comes from within because of your relationship
  • 00:15:18.834 --> 00:15:20.636
  • Because of your relationship to the living god of this book.
  • 00:15:20.703 --> 00:15:22.104
  • [applause]
  • 00:15:22.571 --> 00:15:27.977
  • Happiness is not
  • 00:15:28.544 --> 00:15:29.345
  • Happiness is not found in religion.
  • 00:15:29.411 --> 00:15:30.813
  • Found in religion. solomon started off so close
  • 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:32.648
  • Solomon started off so close to god that god appeared
  • 00:15:32.715 --> 00:15:33.916
  • To god that god appeared to him in a dream
  • 00:15:33.983 --> 00:15:36.986
  • To him in a dream and god said to solomon,
  • 00:15:37.052 --> 00:15:38.921
  • And god said to solomon, "ask what you want
  • 00:15:38.988 --> 00:15:40.155
  • "ask what you want and i'll give it to you."
  • 00:15:40.222 --> 00:15:41.924
  • And i'll give it to you." that's 1 kings 3:5.
  • 00:15:41.991 --> 00:15:44.059
  • That's 1 kings 3:5. solomon asked for
  • 00:15:44.126 --> 00:15:45.527
  • Solomon asked for and received wisdom,
  • 00:15:45.594 --> 00:15:47.596
  • And received wisdom, but as he accumulated wisdom,
  • 00:15:47.663 --> 00:15:50.032
  • But as he accumulated wisdom, wealth, and wives,
  • 00:15:50.099 --> 00:15:52.267
  • Wealth, and wives, he lost his mind --
  • 00:15:52.334 --> 00:15:53.135
  • He lost his mind -- i mean, he lost his way.
  • 00:15:53.202 --> 00:15:54.269
  • [laughter]
  • 00:15:55.104 --> 00:15:57.906
  • Think about
  • 00:15:58.507 --> 00:15:59.074
  • Think about the poison of legalism.
  • 00:15:59.141 --> 00:16:00.309
  • The poison of legalism. saint paul rebuked the galatians
  • 00:16:00.376 --> 00:16:02.244
  • Saint paul rebuked the galatians for deserting christ
  • 00:16:02.311 --> 00:16:03.545
  • For deserting christ in galatians 1:6
  • 00:16:03.612 --> 00:16:05.047
  • In galatians 1:6 for setting aside
  • 00:16:05.114 --> 00:16:06.181
  • For setting aside the grace of god and becoming
  • 00:16:06.248 --> 00:16:07.950
  • The grace of god and becoming bewitched by legalism.
  • 00:16:08.017 --> 00:16:10.386
  • Bewitched by legalism. this is what he is addressing.
  • 00:16:10.452 --> 00:16:12.454
  • This is what he is addressing. the jewish people came
  • 00:16:12.521 --> 00:16:13.989
  • The jewish people came into christianity liberated
  • 00:16:14.056 --> 00:16:16.825
  • Into christianity liberated from legalism, manmade rules.
  • 00:16:16.892 --> 00:16:19.428
  • From legalism, manmade rules. and then they abandoned
  • 00:16:19.495 --> 00:16:20.429
  • And then they abandoned christianity and went back
  • 00:16:20.496 --> 00:16:21.897
  • Christianity and went back to legalism.
  • 00:16:21.964 --> 00:16:23.499
  • To legalism. and paul said,
  • 00:16:23.565 --> 00:16:24.433
  • And paul said, "who hath bewitched
  • 00:16:24.500 --> 00:16:26.168
  • "who hath bewitched you oh foolish galatian?"
  • 00:16:26.235 --> 00:16:28.303
  • You oh foolish galatian?" bewitched is a demonic phrase.
  • 00:16:28.370 --> 00:16:32.074
  • Bewitched is a demonic phrase. legalism is keeping manmade
  • 00:16:32.141 --> 00:16:33.776
  • Legalism is keeping manmade rules to obtain righteousness
  • 00:16:33.842 --> 00:16:36.445
  • Rules to obtain righteousness and jesus said it is
  • 00:16:36.512 --> 00:16:38.147
  • And jesus said it is the doctrine of demons.
  • 00:16:38.213 --> 00:16:39.882
  • The doctrine of demons. why?
  • 00:16:39.948 --> 00:16:40.916
  • Why? listen closely to this.
  • 00:16:40.983 --> 00:16:42.451
  • Listen closely to this. because if you can be saved
  • 00:16:42.518 --> 00:16:44.119
  • Because if you can be saved by keeping manmade rules,
  • 00:16:44.186 --> 00:16:46.188
  • By keeping manmade rules, jesus christ died in vain.
  • 00:16:46.255 --> 00:16:49.458
  • Jesus christ died in vain. the cross was meaningless
  • 00:16:49.525 --> 00:16:51.527
  • The cross was meaningless and your approval comes
  • 00:16:51.593 --> 00:16:53.128
  • And your approval comes from other man, not god.
  • 00:16:53.195 --> 00:16:57.132
  • From other man, not god. the bible says in matthew 5:20,
  • 00:16:57.199 --> 00:16:59.268
  • The bible says in matthew 5:20, "for i tell you that unless
