  • Of faith," that's what saint paul said.
  • 00:06:40.593 --> 00:06:42.361
  • That's what saint paul said. [amen.]

  • [amen.] and if that's too savage
  • 00:06:43.229 --> 00:06:44.130
  • And if that's too savage for you,
  • 00:06:44.197 --> 00:06:44.764
  • For you, read king david,
  • 00:06:44.831 --> 00:06:45.698
  • Read king david, who said,
  • 00:06:45.765 --> 00:06:46.399
  • Who said, "the lord has taught my hands
  • 00:06:46.466 --> 00:06:48.000
  • "the lord has taught my hands for war."
  • 00:06:48.067 --> 00:06:50.002
  • For war." what does it mean to be pure
  • 00:06:50.069 --> 00:06:51.237
  • What does it mean to be pure in heart?
  • 00:06:51.304 --> 00:06:51.737
  • In heart? there are two meanings of
  • 00:06:51.804 --> 00:06:53.005
  • There are two meanings of the word.
  • 00:06:53.072 --> 00:06:53.673
  • The word. one meaning is the word
  • 00:06:53.739 --> 00:06:55.141
  • One meaning is the word "sincere."
  • 00:06:55.208 --> 00:06:56.275
  • "sincere." where did that word come from?
  • 00:06:56.342 --> 00:06:58.144
  • Where did that word come from? it's two words together,
  • 00:06:58.211 --> 00:07:00.279
  • It's two words together, "sin," meaning without;
  • 00:07:00.346 --> 00:07:01.848
  • "sin," meaning without; "sere," which means wax.
  • 00:07:01.914 --> 00:07:03.783
  • "sere," which means wax. sincere means without wax.
  • 00:07:03.850 --> 00:07:06.219
  • Sincere means without wax. how was that word crafted
  • 00:07:06.285 --> 00:07:09.422
  • How was that word crafted in the time when the bible was
  • 00:07:09.489 --> 00:07:10.723
  • In the time when the bible was written in the roman world?
  • 00:07:10.790 --> 00:07:14.327
  • Written in the roman world? they didn't have cell phones
  • 00:07:14.393 --> 00:07:17.163
  • They didn't have cell phones that made every person you saw
  • 00:07:17.230 --> 00:07:19.432
  • That made every person you saw a moving photographer.
  • 00:07:19.499 --> 00:07:21.767
  • A moving photographer. (laughter)
  • 00:07:21.834 --> 00:07:23.102
  • (laughter) if i never see another
  • 00:07:23.169 --> 00:07:24.237

  • [amen.] (applause)
  • 00:07:27.440 --> 00:07:30.476
  • (applause) but to the point,
  • 00:07:30.543 --> 00:07:32.745
  • But to the point, you would bring a craftsman
  • 00:07:32.812 --> 00:07:34.447
  • You would bring a craftsman into your house,
  • 00:07:34.514 --> 00:07:36.215
  • Into your house, a stone master,
  • 00:07:36.282 --> 00:07:37.583
  • A stone master, and he would take a block of
  • 00:07:37.650 --> 00:07:38.818
  • And he would take a block of stone and chisel it for days
  • 00:07:38.885 --> 00:07:42.154
  • Stone and chisel it for days until there was a likeness of
  • 00:07:42.221 --> 00:07:43.823
  • Until there was a likeness of you that was almost exact.
  • 00:07:43.890 --> 00:07:47.660
  • You that was almost exact. but with the passing of time,
  • 00:07:47.727 --> 00:07:49.128
  • But with the passing of time, that statue would crack.
  • 00:07:49.195 --> 00:07:52.532
  • That statue would crack. and they would take rock dust
  • 00:07:52.598 --> 00:07:54.333
  • And they would take rock dust and wax,
  • 00:07:54.400 --> 00:07:55.835
  • And wax, and massage it into the crack.
  • 00:07:55.902 --> 00:07:59.038
  • And massage it into the crack. and it looked perfect.
  • 00:07:59.105 --> 00:08:02.041
  • And it looked perfect. but if you wanted to buy
  • 00:08:02.108 --> 00:08:03.276
  • But if you wanted to buy that statue,
  • 00:08:03.342 --> 00:08:04.277
  • That statue, say it was about caesar
  • 00:08:04.343 --> 00:08:06.245
  • Say it was about caesar or someone else,
  • 00:08:06.312 --> 00:08:08.014
  • Or someone else, and someone was going to pay
  • 00:08:08.080 --> 00:08:10.316
  • And someone was going to pay a large price for it,
  • 00:08:10.383 --> 00:08:12.251
  • A large price for it, he would take it and set it
  • 00:08:12.318 --> 00:08:13.286
  • He would take it and set it on your front porch
  • 00:08:13.352 --> 00:08:14.520
  • On your front porch for one hour in the sun.
  • 00:08:14.587 --> 00:08:17.823
  • For one hour in the sun. and when it heated up,
  • 00:08:17.890 --> 00:08:19.592
  • And when it heated up, that wax poured out and that
  • 00:08:19.659 --> 00:08:23.563
  • That wax poured out and that statue was worthless.
  • 00:08:23.629 --> 00:08:25.531
  • Statue was worthless. if the rock stood the test
  • 00:08:25.598 --> 00:08:27.433
  • If the rock stood the test of time,
  • 00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:28.634
  • Of time, you were sincere,
  • 00:08:28.701 --> 00:08:30.670
  • You were sincere, otherwise,
  • 00:08:30.736 --> 00:08:31.737
  • Otherwise, you were just a walking ball
  • 00:08:31.804 --> 00:08:33.472
  • You were just a walking ball of wax.
  • 00:08:33.539 --> 00:08:35.741
  • Of wax. so, when some ask you,
  • 00:08:35.808 --> 00:08:38.144
  • So, when some ask you, "are you sincere?"
  • 00:08:38.210 --> 00:08:40.880
  • "are you sincere?" he really don't know what he's
  • 00:08:40.947 --> 00:08:42.114
  • He really don't know what he's asking you.
  • 00:08:42.181 --> 00:08:44.050
  • Asking you. but that's what he means.
  • 00:08:44.116 --> 00:08:45.885
  • But that's what he means. is there an absence of
  • 00:08:45.952 --> 00:08:48.387
  • Is there an absence of any kind of motive here?
  • 00:08:48.454 --> 00:08:50.823
  • Any kind of motive here? it also means cleansed without
  • 00:08:50.890 --> 00:08:52.658
  • It also means cleansed without defilement.
  • 00:08:52.725 --> 00:08:53.559
  • Defilement. john the revelator said of
  • 00:08:53.626 --> 00:08:54.794
  • John the revelator said of the new jerusalem--
  • 00:08:54.860 --> 00:08:56.662
  • The new jerusalem-- and this is
  • 00:08:56.729 --> 00:08:57.363
  • And this is going to be a reality
  • 00:08:57.430 --> 00:08:58.764
  • Going to be a reality when christ returns to earth
  • 00:08:58.831 --> 00:09:01.100
  • When christ returns to earth with all of the church.
  • 00:09:01.167 --> 00:09:03.269
  • With all of the church. and this is jerusalem, israel,
  • 00:09:03.336 --> 00:09:05.071
  • And this is jerusalem, israel, the literal israel,
  • 00:09:05.137 --> 00:09:06.973
  • The literal israel, is going to set down
  • 00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:08.307
  • Is going to set down from heaven.
  • 00:09:08.374 --> 00:09:09.809
  • From heaven. but they're not everyone going
  • 00:09:09.875 --> 00:09:11.210
  • But they're not everyone going to be able to get in that
  • 00:09:11.277 --> 00:09:13.045
  • To be able to get in that city.
  • 00:09:13.112 --> 00:09:14.380
  • City. john the revelator says,
  • 00:09:14.447 --> 00:09:15.381
  • John the revelator says, "but there shall by no means
