  • He wrote in the bible, "vanity of vanities,
  • 00:14:37.336 --> 00:14:38.704
  • "vanity of vanities, i've seen all the works
  • 00:14:38.771 --> 00:14:40.105

  • That are done under the sun, and indeed,
  • 00:14:41.774 --> 00:14:42.675
  • And indeed, all is vanity,"
  • 00:14:42.741 --> 00:14:43.909
  • All is vanity," listen to this,
  • 00:14:43.976 --> 00:14:45.010
  • Listen to this, "all is vanity and grasping
  • 00:14:45.077 --> 00:14:47.613
  • "all is vanity and grasping for the wind."
  • 00:14:47.680 --> 00:14:49.615
  • For the wind." grasping for something
  • 00:14:49.682 --> 00:14:50.849
  • Grasping for something i can't catch,
  • 00:14:50.916 --> 00:14:52.184
  • I can't catch, for i can't hold.
  • 00:14:52.251 --> 00:14:53.352
  • For i can't hold. think about that.
  • 00:14:53.419 --> 00:14:55.387
  • Think about that. he was a mega millionaire
  • 00:14:55.454 --> 00:14:56.855

  • Testament to the futility of trying to find happiness
  • 00:15:10.135 --> 00:15:11.770
  • Of trying to find happiness in worldly pursuits.
  • 00:15:11.837 --> 00:15:13.172
  • In worldly pursuits. it's just not there.
  • 00:15:13.238 --> 00:15:15.841
  • It's just not there. happiness comes from within
  • 00:15:15.908 --> 00:15:17.776
  • Happiness comes from within because of your relationship
  • 00:15:17.843 --> 00:15:19.645
  • Because of your relationship to the living god of this book.
  • 00:15:19.712 --> 00:15:21.113
  • [applause]
  • 00:15:21.580 --> 00:15:26.986
  • Happiness is not
  • 00:15:27.553 --> 00:15:28.354
  • Happiness is not found in religion.
  • 00:15:28.420 --> 00:15:29.822
  • Found in religion. solomon started off so close
  • 00:15:29.888 --> 00:15:31.657
  • Solomon started off so close to god that god appeared
  • 00:15:31.724 --> 00:15:32.925
  • To god that god appeared to him in a dream
  • 00:15:32.992 --> 00:15:35.995
  • To him in a dream and god said to solomon,
  • 00:15:36.061 --> 00:15:37.930
  • And god said to solomon, "ask what you want
  • 00:15:37.997 --> 00:15:39.164
  • "ask what you want and i'll give it to you."
  • 00:15:39.231 --> 00:15:40.933
  • And i'll give it to you." that's 1 kings 3:5.
  • 00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.068
  • That's 1 kings 3:5. solomon asked for
  • 00:15:43.135 --> 00:15:44.536
  • Solomon asked for and received wisdom,
  • 00:15:44.603 --> 00:15:46.605
  • And received wisdom, but as he accumulated wisdom,
  • 00:15:46.672 --> 00:15:49.041
  • But as he accumulated wisdom, wealth, and wives,
  • 00:15:49.108 --> 00:15:51.276
  • Wealth, and wives, he lost his mind --
  • 00:15:51.343 --> 00:15:52.144
  • He lost his mind -- i mean, he lost his way.
  • 00:15:52.211 --> 00:15:53.278
  • [laughter]
  • 00:15:54.113 --> 00:15:56.915
  • Think about
  • 00:15:57.516 --> 00:15:58.083
  • Think about the poison of legalism.
  • 00:15:58.150 --> 00:15:59.318
  • The poison of legalism. saint paul rebuked the galatians
  • 00:15:59.385 --> 00:16:01.253
  • Saint paul rebuked the galatians for deserting christ
  • 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:02.554
  • For deserting christ in galatians 1:6
  • 00:16:02.621 --> 00:16:04.056
  • In galatians 1:6 for setting aside
  • 00:16:04.123 --> 00:16:05.190
  • For setting aside the grace of god and becoming
  • 00:16:05.257 --> 00:16:06.959
  • The grace of god and becoming bewitched by legalism.
  • 00:16:07.026 --> 00:16:09.395
  • Bewitched by legalism. this is what he is addressing.
  • 00:16:09.461 --> 00:16:11.463
  • This is what he is addressing. the jewish people came
  • 00:16:11.530 --> 00:16:12.998
  • The jewish people came into christianity liberated
  • 00:16:13.065 --> 00:16:15.834
  • Into christianity liberated from legalism, manmade rules.
  • 00:16:15.901 --> 00:16:18.437
  • From legalism, manmade rules. and then they abandoned
  • 00:16:18.504 --> 00:16:19.438
  • And then they abandoned christianity and went back
  • 00:16:19.505 --> 00:16:20.906
  • Christianity and went back to legalism.
  • 00:16:20.973 --> 00:16:22.508
  • To legalism. and paul said,
  • 00:16:22.574 --> 00:16:23.442
  • And paul said, "who hath bewitched
  • 00:16:23.509 --> 00:16:25.177
  • "who hath bewitched you oh foolish galatian?"
  • 00:16:25.244 --> 00:16:27.312
  • You oh foolish galatian?" bewitched is a demonic phrase.
  • 00:16:27.379 --> 00:16:31.083
  • Bewitched is a demonic phrase. legalism is keeping manmade
  • 00:16:31.150 --> 00:16:32.785
  • Legalism is keeping manmade rules to obtain righteousness
  • 00:16:32.851 --> 00:16:35.454
  • Rules to obtain righteousness and jesus said it is
  • 00:16:35.521 --> 00:16:37.156
  • And jesus said it is the doctrine of demons.
  • 00:16:37.222 --> 00:16:38.891
  • The doctrine of demons. why?
  • 00:16:38.957 --> 00:16:39.925
  • Why? listen closely to this.
  • 00:16:39.992 --> 00:16:41.460
  • Listen closely to this. because if you can be saved
  • 00:16:41.527 --> 00:16:43.128
  • Because if you can be saved by keeping manmade rules,
  • 00:16:43.195 --> 00:16:45.197
  • By keeping manmade rules, jesus christ died in vain.
  • 00:16:45.264 --> 00:16:48.467
  • Jesus christ died in vain. the cross was meaningless
  • 00:16:48.534 --> 00:16:50.536
  • The cross was meaningless and your approval comes
  • 00:16:50.602 --> 00:16:52.137
  • And your approval comes from other man, not god.
  • 00:16:52.204 --> 00:16:56.141
  • From other man, not god. the bible says in matthew 5:20,
  • 00:16:56.208 --> 00:16:58.277
  • The bible says in matthew 5:20, "for i tell you that unless
  • 00:16:58.343 --> 00:16:59.745
  • "for i tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses
  • 00:16:59.812 --> 00:17:01.146
  • Your righteousness surpasses that of the pharisees
  • 00:17:01.213 --> 00:17:02.514
  • That of the pharisees and the teachers of the law,
  • 00:17:02.581 --> 00:17:04.183
  • And the teachers of the law, you will certainly
  • 00:17:04.249 --> 00:17:05.451
  • You will certainly not enter the kingdom
  • 00:17:05.517 --> 00:17:06.652
  • Not enter the kingdom of heaven."
  • 00:17:06.718 --> 00:17:08.454
  • Of heaven." if there is something within
  • 00:17:08.520 --> 00:17:09.822
