- In themselves that they were righteous,
- 00:01:13.893 --> 00:01:14.594
- Were righteous, and despised others:
- 00:01:14.660 --> 00:01:16.362
- And despised others: two men went up to the temple
- 00:01:16.429 --> 00:01:17.864

- Or even as this publican. i fast twice in the week,
- 00:01:32.245 --> 00:01:33.713
- I fast twice in the week, and i give tithes of all
- 00:01:33.779 --> 00:01:34.981

- That i possess. and the publican,
- 00:01:36.082 --> 00:01:36.883
- And the publican, standing afar off,
- 00:01:36.949 --> 00:01:37.950
- Standing afar off, would not lift up so much as
- 00:01:38.017 --> 00:01:39.318
- Would not lift up so much as his eyes to heaven,
- 00:01:39.385 --> 00:01:40.586

- I tell you that this man went down to his house justified
- 00:01:46.559 --> 00:01:48.628
- Down to his house justified rather than the other:
- 00:01:48.694 --> 00:01:50.129
- Rather than the other: for everyone who exalts
- 00:01:50.196 --> 00:01:51.464
- For everyone who exalts himself shall be abased;
- 00:01:51.531 --> 00:01:53.833
- Himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself
- 00:01:53.900 --> 00:01:55.968

- Those of you who are watching by television,
- 00:02:18.891 --> 00:02:20.059
- By television, that god loves every person
- 00:02:20.126 --> 00:02:21.427
- That god loves every person on this earth,
- 00:02:21.494 --> 00:02:23.329
- On this earth, good, bad, evil,
- 00:02:23.396 --> 00:02:25.064
- Good, bad, evil, whatever you may be.
- 00:02:25.131 --> 00:02:26.866
- Whatever you may be. the bible says,
- 00:02:26.933 --> 00:02:27.700
- The bible says, "god so loved the world,
- 00:02:27.767 --> 00:02:28.968
- "god so loved the world, that he gave his only
- 00:02:29.035 --> 00:02:29.769
- That he gave his only begotten son,
- 00:02:29.835 --> 00:02:31.470
- Begotten son, that whoever believeth
- 00:02:31.537 --> 00:02:32.471
- That whoever believeth in him should not perish,
- 00:02:32.538 --> 00:02:34.340
- In him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
- 00:02:34.407 --> 00:02:36.576
- But have everlasting life." but god cannot save
- 00:02:36.642 --> 00:02:38.144
- But god cannot save the self-righteous.
- 00:02:38.211 --> 00:02:39.178
- The self-righteous. that's person number one.
- 00:02:39.245 --> 00:02:40.947
- That's person number one. notice the phrase that
- 00:02:41.013 --> 00:02:42.014
- Notice the phrase that "they trusted in themselves
- 00:02:42.081 --> 00:02:43.482
- "they trusted in themselves that they were righteous."
- 00:02:43.549 --> 00:02:45.184
- That they were righteous." the bible says,
- 00:02:45.251 --> 00:02:45.851
- The bible says, "trust in the lord with all of
- 00:02:45.918 --> 00:02:47.053
- "trust in the lord with all of your heart and lean not to
- 00:02:47.119 --> 00:02:48.888
- Your heart and lean not to your own understanding."
- 00:02:48.955 --> 00:02:51.190
- Your own understanding." point:
- 00:02:51.257 --> 00:02:51.991
- Point: when you trust only in
- 00:02:52.058 --> 00:02:53.226
- When you trust only in yourself,
- 00:02:53.292 --> 00:02:53.726
- Yourself, you are your god.
- 00:02:53.793 --> 00:02:55.628
- You are your god. you don't need god;
- 00:02:55.695 --> 00:02:57.430
- You don't need god; therefore, god cannot
- 00:02:57.496 --> 00:02:58.397
- Therefore, god cannot save you.
- 00:02:58.464 --> 00:02:59.599
- Save you. jesus told this story to
- 00:02:59.665 --> 00:03:01.167
- Jesus told this story to pharisees that fasted
- 00:03:01.234 --> 00:03:03.035
- Pharisees that fasted twice a week.
- 00:03:03.102 --> 00:03:04.170
- Twice a week. they tithed up to 30% of all
- 00:03:04.237 --> 00:03:06.939
- They tithed up to 30% of all of their income.
- 00:03:07.006 --> 00:03:08.140
- Of their income. jesus said,
- 00:03:08.207 --> 00:03:08.808
- Jesus said, "except your righteousness
- 00:03:08.874 --> 00:03:10.276
- "except your righteousness exceeds that of the pharisees,
- 00:03:10.343 --> 00:03:12.445
- Exceeds that of the pharisees, you shall not inherit
- 00:03:12.511 --> 00:03:13.713
- You shall not inherit the kingdom of god."
- 00:03:13.779 --> 00:03:15.481
- The kingdom of god." there are people who have
- 00:03:15.548 --> 00:03:16.515
- There are people who have religion without
- 00:03:16.582 --> 00:03:17.450
- Religion without righteousness.
- 00:03:17.516 --> 00:03:19.318
- Righteousness. they have ceremony without
- 00:03:19.385 --> 00:03:20.720
- They have ceremony without consecration.
- 00:03:20.786 --> 00:03:22.521
- Consecration. they have profession without
- 00:03:22.588 --> 00:03:24.557
- They have profession without possession.
- 00:03:24.624 --> 00:03:26.158
- Possession. the bible says,
- 00:03:26.225 --> 00:03:26.959
- The bible says, "they are clouds without
- 00:03:27.026 --> 00:03:28.327
- "they are clouds without rain."
- 00:03:28.394 --> 00:03:29.161
- Rain." "they are wells without
- 00:03:29.228 --> 00:03:30.763
- "they are wells without water."
- 00:03:30.830 --> 00:03:31.497
- Water." "they are trees without
- 00:03:31.564 --> 00:03:33.266
- "they are trees without fruit."
- 00:03:33.332 --> 00:03:34.100
- Fruit." "they are as sounding brass
- 00:03:34.166 --> 00:03:35.901
- "they are as sounding brass and tinkling cymbals."
- 00:03:35.968 --> 00:03:37.603
- And tinkling cymbals." "they make noise but they
- 00:03:37.670 --> 00:03:39.372
- "they make noise but they are not substantive."
- 00:03:39.438 --> 00:03:41.307
- Are not substantive." the self-righteous hate
- 00:03:41.374 --> 00:03:42.508
- The self-righteous hate this story because it's
- 00:03:42.575 --> 00:03:43.676
- This story because it's their portrait.
- 00:03:43.743 --> 00:03:44.744
- Their portrait. it's the portrait of many
- 00:03:44.810 --> 00:03:46.412
- It's the portrait of many who sit in america's churches.
- 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.282
- Who sit in america's churches. it's the god of self.
- 00:03:49.348 --> 00:03:51.584
- It's the god of self. that's america's favorite
- 00:03:51.651 --> 00:03:52.818
- That's america's favorite idol.
- 00:03:52.885 --> 00:03:53.853
- Idol. yet this story is as tender
- 00:03:53.919 --> 00:03:55.421
- Yet this story is as tender as a mother's touch and as
- 00:03:55.488 --> 00:03:57.256
- As a mother's touch and as healing as a mother's kiss
- 00:03:57.323 --> 00:03:59.058
- Healing as a mother's kiss to those who have sinned.
- 00:03:59.125 --> 00:04:00.459
- To those who have sinned. the bible says
- 00:04:00.526 --> 00:04:01.227
- The bible says in proverbs 28:13
- 00:04:01.294 --> 00:04:03.129
- In proverbs 28:13 that those who will confess
- 00:04:03.195 --> 00:04:04.797
- That those who will confess and forsake their sin
- 00:04:04.864 --> 00:04:06.699
- And forsake their sin shall have mercy
- 00:04:06.766 --> 00:04:07.500
- Shall have mercy with the lord.
- 00:04:07.566 --> 00:04:09.635
- With the lord. that is a powerful verse.
- 00:04:09.702 --> 00:04:10.870
- That is a powerful verse. listen to it.
- 00:04:10.936 --> 00:04:12.138
- Listen to it. "those who confess and forsake
- 00:04:12.204 --> 00:04:14.674
- "those who confess and forsake their sin shall have mercy
- 00:04:14.740 --> 00:04:16.742
- Their sin shall have mercy with the lord."
- 00:04:16.809 --> 00:04:17.410
- With the lord." right now,
- 00:04:17.476 --> 00:04:18.311
- Right now, there's a doctrine going
- 00:04:18.377 --> 00:04:19.712
- There's a doctrine going through america of what i call
- 00:04:19.779 --> 00:04:21.447
- Through america of what i call "unlimited grace."
- 00:04:21.514 --> 00:04:22.515
- "unlimited grace." you sin and keep on sinning,
- 00:04:22.581 --> 00:04:24.116
- You sin and keep on sinning, keep on sinning,
- 00:04:24.183 --> 00:04:24.917
- Keep on sinning, and god just lets you keep on
- 00:04:24.984 --> 00:04:26.285
- And god just lets you keep on sinning,
- 00:04:26.352 --> 00:04:26.819
- Sinning, and it's alright with him
- 00:04:26.886 --> 00:04:28.087
- And it's alright with him because god's grace has no
- 00:04:28.154 --> 00:04:29.689
- Because god's grace has no limit.
- 00:04:29.755 --> 00:04:30.289
- Limit. i assure you,
- 00:04:30.356 --> 00:04:31.057
- I assure you, god's grace does have a limit.
- 00:04:31.123 --> 00:04:33.592
- God's grace does have a limit. god's grace gives you the time
- 00:04:33.659 --> 00:04:35.394
- God's grace gives you the time to confess your sin.
- 00:04:35.461 --> 00:04:38.431
- To confess your sin. in the old testament,
- 00:04:38.497 --> 00:04:39.198
- In the old testament, if you sinned,
- 00:04:39.265 --> 00:04:40.733
- If you sinned, they knocked you off
- 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:41.500
