  • From every source but god because we have forgotten
  • 00:10:10.103 --> 00:10:11.238
  • Because we have forgotten that god is the source.
  • 00:10:11.304 --> 00:10:13.740
  • That god is the source. this is the verse,

  • Ironically, unhappiness is rooted in his potential
  • 00:10:34.127 --> 00:10:35.729
  • Is rooted in his potential for greatness that god
  • 00:10:35.796 --> 00:10:36.897

  • To chew her cud. a dog is satisfied to gnaw
  • 00:11:01.521 --> 00:11:03.857
  • A dog is satisfied to gnaw on a meatless bone.
  • 00:11:03.924 --> 00:11:06.026
  • On a meatless bone. a bird is satisfied
  • 00:11:06.093 --> 00:11:07.894

  • With last year's bird nest. but not man.
  • 00:11:09.996 --> 00:11:11.898
  • But not man. nothing that comes
  • 00:11:11.965 --> 00:11:12.866
  • Nothing that comes from the outside can satisfy
  • 00:11:12.933 --> 00:11:15.669
  • From the outside can satisfy the soul that's in your body.
  • 00:11:15.736 --> 00:11:18.371
  • The soul that's in your body. happiness is not something
  • 00:11:18.438 --> 00:11:19.873
  • Happiness is not something we carry in our hands,
  • 00:11:19.940 --> 00:11:21.775

  • All is vanity," listen to this,
  • 00:14:43.977 --> 00:14:45.011
  • Listen to this, "all is vanity and grasping
  • 00:14:45.078 --> 00:14:47.614
  • "all is vanity and grasping for the wind."
  • 00:14:47.681 --> 00:14:49.616
  • For the wind." grasping for something
  • 00:14:49.683 --> 00:14:50.850
  • Grasping for something i can't catch,

  • In worldly pursuits. it's just not there.
  • 00:15:13.239 --> 00:15:15.842
  • It's just not there. happiness comes from within
  • 00:15:15.909 --> 00:15:17.777
  • Happiness comes from within because of your relationship
  • 00:15:17.844 --> 00:15:19.646
  • Because of your relationship to the living god of this book.
  • 00:15:19.713 --> 00:15:21.114
  • [applause]

  • 00:15:27.554 --> 00:15:28.355
  • Happiness is not found in religion.
  • 00:15:28.421 --> 00:15:29.823
  • Found in religion. solomon started off so close
  • 00:15:29.889 --> 00:15:31.658
  • Solomon started off so close to god that god appeared
  • 00:15:31.725 --> 00:15:32.926
  • To god that god appeared to him in a dream
  • 00:15:32.993 --> 00:15:35.996
  • To him in a dream and god said to solomon,
  • 00:15:36.062 --> 00:15:37.931
  • And god said to solomon, "ask what you want
  • 00:15:37.998 --> 00:15:39.165
  • "ask what you want and i'll give it to you."
  • 00:15:39.232 --> 00:15:40.934

  • 00:15:41.001 --> 00:15:43.069
  • That's 1 kings 3:5. solomon asked for
  • 00:15:43.136 --> 00:15:44.537
  • Solomon asked for and received wisdom,
  • 00:15:44.604 --> 00:15:46.606
  • And received wisdom, but as he accumulated wisdom,
  • 00:15:46.673 --> 00:15:49.042
  • But as he accumulated wisdom, wealth, and wives,
  • 00:15:49.109 --> 00:15:51.277
  • Wealth, and wives, he lost his mind --
  • 00:15:51.344 --> 00:15:52.145
  • He lost his mind -- i mean, he lost his way.

  • [laughter]
  • 00:15:54.114 --> 00:15:56.916
  • Think about
  • 00:15:57.517 --> 00:15:58.084
  • Think about the poison of legalism.
  • 00:15:58.151 --> 00:15:59.319
  • The poison of legalism. saint paul rebuked the galatians
  • 00:15:59.386 --> 00:16:01.254
  • Saint paul rebuked the galatians for deserting christ
  • 00:16:01.321 --> 00:16:02.555
  • For deserting christ in galatians 1:6
  • 00:16:02.622 --> 00:16:04.057
  • In galatians 1:6 for setting aside
  • 00:16:04.124 --> 00:16:05.191
  • For setting aside the grace of god and becoming
  • 00:16:05.258 --> 00:16:06.960
  • The grace of god and becoming bewitched by legalism.
  • 00:16:07.027 --> 00:16:09.396
  • Bewitched by legalism. this is what he is addressing.
  • 00:16:09.462 --> 00:16:11.464
  • This is what he is addressing. the jewish people came
  • 00:16:11.531 --> 00:16:12.999
  • The jewish people came into christianity liberated
  • 00:16:13.066 --> 00:16:15.835
  • Into christianity liberated from legalism, manmade rules.
  • 00:16:15.902 --> 00:16:18.438
  • From legalism, manmade rules. and then they abandoned
  • 00:16:18.505 --> 00:16:19.439
  • And then they abandoned christianity and went back
  • 00:16:19.506 --> 00:16:20.907
  • Christianity and went back to legalism.
  • 00:16:20.974 --> 00:16:22.509
  • To legalism. and paul said,
  • 00:16:22.575 --> 00:16:23.443
  • And paul said, "who hath bewitched
  • 00:16:23.510 --> 00:16:25.178
  • "who hath bewitched you oh foolish galatian?"
  • 00:16:25.245 --> 00:16:27.313
  • You oh foolish galatian?" bewitched is a demonic phrase.
  • 00:16:27.380 --> 00:16:31.084
  • Bewitched is a demonic phrase. legalism is keeping manmade
  • 00:16:31.151 --> 00:16:32.786
  • Legalism is keeping manmade rules to obtain righteousness
  • 00:16:32.852 --> 00:16:35.455
  • Rules to obtain righteousness and jesus said it is
  • 00:16:35.522 --> 00:16:37.157
  • And jesus said it is the doctrine of demons.
  • 00:16:37.223 --> 00:16:38.892
  • The doctrine of demons. why?
  • 00:16:38.958 --> 00:16:39.926
  • Why? listen closely to this.
  • 00:16:39.993 --> 00:16:41.461
  • Listen closely to this. because if you can be saved
  • 00:16:41.528 --> 00:16:43.129
  • Because if you can be saved by keeping manmade rules,
  • 00:16:43.196 --> 00:16:45.198
  • By keeping manmade rules, jesus christ died in vain.
  • 00:16:45.265 --> 00:16:48.468
  • Jesus christ died in vain. the cross was meaningless
  • 00:16:48.535 --> 00:16:50.537
  • The cross was meaningless and your approval comes
  • 00:16:50.603 --> 00:16:52.138
  • And your approval comes from other man, not god.
  • 00:16:52.205 --> 00:16:56.142
  • From other man, not god. the bible says in matthew 5:20,
  • 00:16:56.209 --> 00:16:58.278
  • The bible says in matthew 5:20, "for i tell you that unless
