- 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:01.984
- male announcer: Coming up next on "Leading The Way."
- 00:00:02.117 --> 00:00:04.987
- Dr. Michael Youssef: The Word of God is
- 00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:06.321
- always straight, always clear.
- 00:00:06.455 --> 00:00:06.955
- Keep it that way.
- 00:00:09.024 --> 00:00:11.126
- Loving people does not mean that we compromise the truth,
- 00:00:11.126 --> 00:00:15.697
- being straightforward who may suffer persecution.
- 00:00:15.697 --> 00:00:20.302
- But whatever you do, stay as a workman who will
- 00:00:20.302 --> 00:00:25.474
- not be ashamed on that great day.
- 00:00:25.474 --> 00:00:27.543
- announcer: Coming up next.
- 00:00:27.543 --> 00:00:29.711
- Dr. Youssef: Truth versus partial truth.
- 00:00:32.147 --> 00:00:35.050
- So many preachers, and so many theologians
- 00:00:35.050 --> 00:00:38.420
- are teaching falsehood under the guise of truth.
- 00:00:38.420 --> 00:00:42.891
- And what causes that defection from the faith?
- 00:00:42.891 --> 00:00:45.694
- What causes giving in to this false teaching?
- 00:00:45.694 --> 00:00:49.965
- Some think they're trying to save Christianity.
- 00:00:49.965 --> 00:00:52.134
- Christianity does not need to be saved.
- 00:00:52.134 --> 00:00:55.270
- That is why I want you to get this book,
- 00:00:55.270 --> 00:00:57.239
- "Saving Christianity?" because it will show you
- 00:00:57.239 --> 00:01:01.210
- how false that thought is.
- 00:01:01.210 --> 00:01:05.547
- And I mentioned all the names of these people who are
- 00:01:05.547 --> 00:01:07.950
- false teachers around us now, not in order to attack people,
- 00:01:07.950 --> 00:01:12.488
- but to attack their false teaching.
- 00:01:12.488 --> 00:01:14.857
- I want to help you galvanize, immune yourself
- 00:01:14.857 --> 00:01:19.428
- from that false teacher.
- 00:01:19.428 --> 00:01:21.330
- Please, you need this book.
- 00:01:21.330 --> 00:01:23.899

- 00:01:26.335 --> 00:01:29.204

- 00:02:11.813 --> 00:02:16.051
- Dr. Youssef: I think most genuine believers
- 00:02:20.022 --> 00:02:22.891
- in the Lord Jesus Christ know that Satan is a liar
- 00:02:22.891 --> 00:02:27.396
- and the father of lies.
- 00:02:27.396 --> 00:02:32.134
- Satan's commitment is
- 00:02:32.134 --> 00:02:34.770
- to obliterate the truth
- 00:02:34.770 --> 00:02:36.171
- of the Word of God and replace it with falsehood.
- 00:02:36.171 --> 00:02:41.143
- That's what he and all of his demons are constantly
- 00:02:41.143 --> 00:02:43.412
- working and doing.
- 00:02:43.412 --> 00:02:46.582
- Again, probably there's nobody understood this as much
- 00:02:46.582 --> 00:02:49.518
- as this particular deception as much as the Apostle Paul.
- 00:02:49.518 --> 00:02:54.690
- And that is why in 2 Timothy chapter 2, verse 14,
- 00:02:54.690 --> 00:02:58.760
- he says to the next generation,
- 00:02:58.760 --> 00:03:03.098
- to the next generation leaders, not only to believe the truth,
- 00:03:03.098 --> 00:03:09.504
- but to pass it on to the next generation,
- 00:03:09.504 --> 00:03:12.241
- something we have been very conscious about in this church.
- 00:03:12.241 --> 00:03:16.478
- And we've been going through this second epistle,
- 00:03:16.478 --> 00:03:20.015
- the very last letter that the Apostle Paul wrote.
- 00:03:20.015 --> 00:03:23.652
- We don't know if it was days or weeks,
- 00:03:23.652 --> 00:03:27.389
- certainly not months after writing this,
- 00:03:27.389 --> 00:03:31.093
- that he was taken and beheaded and died.
- 00:03:31.093 --> 00:03:37.599
- And so, this is a very intense epistle.
- 00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:42.337
- It's a very intense letter.
- 00:03:42.337 --> 00:03:44.606
- You can feel it in every word that's
- 00:03:44.606 --> 00:03:48.610
- in the page of that letter.
- 00:03:48.610 --> 00:03:52.481
- We saw on the last message
- 00:03:52.481 --> 00:03:54.149
- the first half of chapter 2 in 2 Timothy.
- 00:03:54.149 --> 00:03:59.321
- He gave us three imageries that help us in our faithfulness
- 00:03:59.321 --> 00:04:04.926
- in passing on the truth to the next generation.
- 00:04:04.926 --> 00:04:08.697
- And here in the second half of chapter 2,
- 00:04:08.697 --> 00:04:12.467
- he gives us three more imageries,
- 00:04:12.467 --> 00:04:14.469
- as if to build up.
- 00:04:14.469 --> 00:04:17.939
- Those six imageries together can help us truly be faithful
- 00:04:17.939 --> 00:04:21.176
- in our service of the Lord.
- 00:04:21.176 --> 00:04:23.445
- These three imageries for faithful service
- 00:04:23.445 --> 00:04:25.814
- are a good worker, a worker who's not ashamed
- 00:04:25.814 --> 00:04:30.619
- of what he's doing, working hard.
- 00:04:30.619 --> 00:04:34.323
- Secondly, a clean vessel, a vessel that is always ready
- 00:04:34.323 --> 00:04:39.194
- to be used for honorable things.
- 00:04:39.194 --> 00:04:41.763
- And then thirdly, the third image is
- 00:04:41.763 --> 00:04:44.666
- a servant who is loyal and obedient to his master.
- 00:04:44.666 --> 00:04:49.338
- Let's look at this very quickly.
- 00:04:49.338 --> 00:04:51.306
- A worker who's not ashamed.
- 00:04:51.306 --> 00:04:54.509
- The very reason for serving diligently,
- 00:04:54.509 --> 00:04:59.581
- the very reason for working faithfully,
- 00:04:59.581 --> 00:05:04.453
- serving the Lord, is not to please others
- 00:05:04.453 --> 00:05:10.025
- and make others feel good about themselves, good is that may be.
- 00:05:10.025 --> 00:05:15.130
- It is not even to please one's self.
- 00:05:15.130 --> 00:05:18.734
- The very reason for faithfulness,
- 00:05:18.734 --> 00:05:21.870
- the main reason, and the ultimate reason
- 00:05:21.870 --> 00:05:25.574
- for faithfulness is to please the Lord.
- 00:05:25.574 --> 00:05:30.245
- Now the definition of shame-- I saw a new one this week--
- 00:05:30.245 --> 00:05:36.351
- it says, "a painful emotion caused by consciousness
- 00:05:36.351 --> 00:05:41.656
- of guilt, shortcoming, or impropriety."
- 00:05:41.656 --> 00:05:47.329
- Why are the false preachers should be ashamed?
- 00:05:47.329 --> 00:05:51.533
- Because when their work is only for the show,
- 00:05:51.533 --> 00:05:56.972
- it's only to impress people.
- 00:05:56.972 --> 00:05:59.374
- It's only for the praise of people that ought
- 00:05:59.374 --> 00:06:02.611
- to be ashamed of themselves.
- 00:06:02.611 --> 00:06:04.913
- When it is not to please the Lord first and foremost,
- 00:06:04.913 --> 00:06:08.817
- they ought to be ashamed of themselves.
- 00:06:08.817 --> 00:06:11.253
- And yet, those very--who have every reason to be ashamed,
- 00:06:11.253 --> 00:06:17.592
- they are shameless.
- 00:06:17.592 --> 00:06:20.262
- That is why any ministry, any ministry whatsoever,
- 00:06:20.262 --> 00:06:25.167
- must be done for the glory of God alone.
- 00:06:25.167 --> 00:06:29.404
- We ought not to have personal or hidden agenda.
- 00:06:29.404 --> 00:06:34.309
- In other words, be straightforward.
- 00:06:34.309 --> 00:06:39.948
- The Word of God is always clear.
- 00:06:39.948 --> 00:06:43.618
- The Word of God is always straight.
- 00:06:43.618 --> 00:06:46.388
- The Word of God is always plain.
- 00:06:46.388 --> 00:06:49.124
- And Paul is saying to Timothy, keep it that way.
- 00:06:49.124 --> 00:06:53.728
- Keep it that way.
- 00:06:53.728 --> 00:06:55.664
- Nobody is saying that everybody is going to accept our message.
- 00:06:55.664 --> 00:06:58.967
- No one says that everybody is gonna be saved.
- 00:06:58.967 --> 00:07:01.603
- Beloved, listen to me.
- 00:07:01.603 --> 00:07:03.672
- Loving people does not mean we compromise the integrity
- 00:07:03.672 --> 00:07:07.642
- of the Word of God.
- 00:07:07.642 --> 00:07:10.278
- Loving people does not mean that we compromise the truth.
- 00:07:10.278 --> 00:07:14.850
- Loving people does not mean that we twist the Word of God
- 00:07:14.850 --> 00:07:18.987
- until it becomes a pretzel.
- 00:07:18.987 --> 00:07:21.690
- I have seen that.
- 00:07:21.690 --> 00:07:23.558
- I have seen people and heard people twisting it so much
- 00:07:23.558 --> 00:07:27.496
- until it's unidentifiable.
- 00:07:27.496 --> 00:07:30.298
- No, being straightforward might--we might suffer
- 00:07:30.298 --> 00:07:35.437
- rejection, we might suffer alienation,
- 00:07:35.437 --> 00:07:38.807
- we might suffer discrimination
- 00:07:38.807 --> 00:07:40.408
- and even we might suffer persecution.
- 00:07:40.408 --> 00:07:44.646
- But whatever you do, stay as a workman who will not
- 00:07:44.646 --> 00:07:50.452
- be ashamed when you face Jesus on that great day.
- 00:07:50.452 --> 00:07:53.855
- Verse 16: "Avoid godless chatter."
- 00:07:53.855 --> 00:07:59.494
- In other words, don't get drawn into this foolish discussion.
- 00:07:59.494 --> 00:08:05.834
- Don't get drawn into discussing issues that have already been
- 00:08:05.834 --> 00:08:09.738
- settled in the Word of God long ago.
- 00:08:09.738 --> 00:08:15.110
- Doing so, ruins people and brings a bath and godliness.
- 00:08:15.110 --> 00:08:19.848
- The Greek word he uses is "catastrophe" from which you
- 00:08:19.848 --> 00:08:25.287
- get the word "catastrophe."
- 00:08:25.287 --> 00:08:27.822
- Compromise does not build up a person,
- 00:08:27.822 --> 00:08:30.926
- it tears them down and brings about
- 00:08:30.926 --> 00:08:33.695
- disaster, catastrophe.
- 00:08:33.695 --> 00:08:36.965
- Compromise leads to false teaching,
- 00:08:36.965 --> 00:08:39.434
- and false teaching leads to ungodliness.
- 00:08:39.434 --> 00:08:42.804
- The legacy of false teaching is false living,
- 00:08:42.804 --> 00:08:47.609
- and false living leads to a catastrophe.
- 00:08:47.609 --> 00:08:51.646
- False teaching is like gangrene.
- 00:08:51.646 --> 00:08:55.984
- Did you see that he used the word "gangrene."
- 00:08:55.984 --> 00:08:58.486
- God translated gangrene.
- 00:08:58.486 --> 00:08:59.821
- I mean, it is amazing.
- 00:08:59.821 --> 00:09:01.156
- Look at verse 17.
- 00:09:01.156 --> 00:09:02.891
- In other words, it's infectious.
- 00:09:02.891 --> 00:09:05.193
- Don't take it lightly.
- 00:09:05.193 --> 00:09:06.661
- It is infectious. It spreads so fast.
- 00:09:06.661 --> 00:09:09.130
- It is deadly.
- 00:09:09.130 --> 00:09:11.132
- False teaching and satanic lies can spread much
- 00:09:11.132 --> 00:09:15.971
- faster than the truth.
- 00:09:15.971 --> 00:09:17.906
- You say, "Michael, why is that?"
- 00:09:17.906 --> 00:09:19.507
- I tell you why, because the sinful human heart
- 00:09:19.507 --> 00:09:22.711
- is more comfortable with compromise.
- 00:09:22.711 --> 00:09:26.615
- And Paul is writing to Timothy and to us.
- 00:09:26.615 --> 00:09:33.688
- And he mentions two specific people and he mentions
- 00:09:33.688 --> 00:09:37.592
- them by name.
- 00:09:37.592 --> 00:09:39.961
- These two people allowed themselves to be misled,
- 00:09:39.961 --> 00:09:43.064
- ended up departing from the faith altogether.
- 00:09:43.064 --> 00:09:46.267
- I tell you, there is not a week that passes by I hear
- 00:09:46.267 --> 00:09:48.637
- of some preacher fall, or some musician,
- 00:09:48.637 --> 00:09:51.239
- Christian musician, fall.
- 00:09:51.239 --> 00:09:52.607
- It is absolutely heartbreaking.
- 00:09:52.607 --> 00:09:56.344
- And he names those two people, Hymenaeus and Philetus.
- 00:09:56.344 --> 00:10:02.450
- Isn't it amazing that Hymenaeus means the singing man?
- 00:10:02.450 --> 00:10:10.125
- That's where we get the word hymns.
- 00:10:10.125 --> 00:10:11.860
- And Philetus from phileo, which you know what
- 00:10:11.860 --> 00:10:14.295
- that means love, means a lover or a loving.
- 00:10:14.295 --> 00:10:17.432
- And yet, one is a false singer, and the other is a false lover.
- 00:10:17.432 --> 00:10:23.705
- One is singing the wrong songs,
- 00:10:23.705 --> 00:10:26.441
- and the other has a misplaced love.
- 00:10:26.441 --> 00:10:29.177
- And here's what you and I must never,
- 00:10:29.177 --> 00:10:33.815
- never, never forget.
- 00:10:33.815 --> 00:10:35.984
- Don't miss this.
- 00:10:35.984 --> 00:10:37.786
- Don't miss this, please because deceivers
- 00:10:37.786 --> 00:10:41.623
- are very attractive people.
- 00:10:41.623 --> 00:10:44.359
- Deceivers are like the devil himself.
- 00:10:44.359 --> 00:10:47.362
- They appear as angels of light.
- 00:10:47.362 --> 00:10:49.597
- Deceivers are very charming people.
- 00:10:49.597 --> 00:10:52.367
- Deceivers are very eloquent.
- 00:10:52.367 --> 00:10:54.602
- Deceivers are great communicators.
- 00:10:54.602 --> 00:11:00.075
- What they do is they take a grain of truth,
- 00:11:00.075 --> 00:11:03.344
- and they wrap it in a whole lot of falsehood
- 00:11:03.344 --> 00:11:06.815
- or a drop of poison, and they sugarcoat it.
- 00:11:06.815 --> 00:11:13.021
- Paul said avoid such people.
- 00:11:13.021 --> 00:11:16.257
- The second imagery the Apostle Paul gives us here,
- 00:11:16.257 --> 00:11:22.197
- in being faithful is a clean vessel.
- 00:11:22.197 --> 00:11:28.403
- In a big house, you look at some of the castles and things
- 00:11:28.403 --> 00:11:31.873
- you see and you say, in a big house.
- 00:11:31.873 --> 00:11:34.576
- You see those on television.
- 00:11:34.576 --> 00:11:36.745
- There are all sorts of utensils and cutlery and pots
- 00:11:36.745 --> 00:11:40.982
- and pans and large numbers of them.
- 00:11:40.982 --> 00:11:44.085
- And the Church of Jesus Christ worldwide,
- 00:11:44.085 --> 00:11:47.655
- the global church of Christ, the elect of God
- 00:11:47.655 --> 00:11:50.325
- from every nation, every tribe, they come in all sorts.
- 00:11:50.325 --> 00:11:56.831
- We are like those utensils.
- 00:11:56.831 --> 00:11:59.701
- We like those equipment in the home.
- 00:11:59.701 --> 00:12:02.737
- Except, listen carefully,
- 00:12:02.737 --> 00:12:06.040
- except, as people, we have a choice to be a silver spoon
- 00:12:06.040 --> 00:12:13.281
- or a dirty bucket.
- 00:12:13.281 --> 00:12:15.884
- There are utensils that the master of the house
- 00:12:15.884 --> 00:12:19.554
- proudly displays.
- 00:12:19.554 --> 00:12:22.791
- And there's some rusty ones he soon just put in the basement
- 00:12:22.791 --> 00:12:27.562
- and hide in the basement.
- 00:12:27.562 --> 00:12:30.165
- Listen to me.
- 00:12:30.165 --> 00:12:31.766
- Those who are faithful to the Lord and to his Word,
- 00:12:31.766 --> 00:12:35.603
- the infallible Word of God, both Old and New Testament.
- 00:12:35.603 --> 00:12:39.774
- Those who are faithful to plow in straight lines
- 00:12:39.774 --> 00:12:45.814
- are instrument of honor.
- 00:12:45.814 --> 00:12:48.249
- Those who twist the truth and preach and teach
- 00:12:48.249 --> 00:12:53.288
- and speak half truth, those who teach their own ideas
- 00:12:53.288 --> 00:12:59.727
- are instruments of dishonor, as far as God is concerned.
- 00:12:59.727 --> 00:13:06.067
- Listen to what the Word of God said.
- 00:13:06.067 --> 00:13:08.469
- "If any of you, if anyone purifies himself,
- 00:13:08.469 --> 00:13:13.208
- he will be used by the Master."
- 00:13:13.208 --> 00:13:19.180
- There can be no higher honor imaginable in life than being
- 00:13:19.180 --> 00:13:25.453
- an instrument in the hand of God.
- 00:13:25.453 --> 00:13:30.325
- There is no greater honor in life than being
- 00:13:30.325 --> 00:13:35.563
- at the disposal of the Lord to use as he wishes.
- 00:13:35.563 --> 00:13:41.436
- Ah, but there's a condition.
- 00:13:41.436 --> 00:13:44.873
- I did not make up that condition.
- 00:13:44.873 --> 00:13:47.141
- What is it?
- 00:13:47.141 --> 00:13:48.910
- What is that condition?
- 00:13:48.910 --> 00:13:51.112
- Cleanliness and purity.
- 00:13:51.112 --> 00:13:54.349
- Ooh, are you preaching perfection now?
- 00:13:54.349 --> 00:13:57.952
- No, no, no, no, no.
- 00:13:57.952 --> 00:13:59.587
- Don't miss, don't miss, don't miss this.
- 00:13:59.587 --> 00:14:01.689
- Perfection is only gonna happen when we get to heaven.
- 00:14:01.689 --> 00:14:04.492
- Can I get an amen?
- 00:14:04.492 --> 00:14:06.594
- I can't wait.
- 00:14:06.594 --> 00:14:08.897
- But cleanliness and purity is not perfection.
- 00:14:08.897 --> 00:14:12.367
- It's not perfection.
- 00:14:12.367 --> 00:14:13.701
- Verses 22 and 23 Paul said that we can actually
- 00:14:13.701 --> 00:14:18.206
- purify ourselves.
- 00:14:18.206 --> 00:14:20.608
- We can only be saved by God's power and grace,
- 00:14:20.608 --> 00:14:23.611
- that's the only way, not by works.
- 00:14:23.611 --> 00:14:26.014
- But once we're saved, we can continuously purify ourselves.
- 00:14:26.014 --> 00:14:30.718
- You says, "Michael, how do I do that?"
- 00:14:30.718 --> 00:14:32.553
- By confession, by repentance.
- 00:14:32.553 --> 00:14:36.457
- You see, repentance is not just for sinners who don't know
- 00:14:36.457 --> 00:14:39.427
- Christ in repentance come and believe in him.
- 00:14:39.427 --> 00:14:41.529
- Repentance ought to be the lifestyle of every believer,
- 00:14:41.529 --> 00:14:44.999
- not rationalizing sin, not explaining it away,
- 00:14:44.999 --> 00:14:50.038
- not justifying it.
- 00:14:50.038 --> 00:14:52.941
- And then Paul goes on to say, "Shun youthful passions."
- 00:14:52.941 --> 00:14:58.479
- As soon as you hear that, there are two things
- 00:14:58.479 --> 00:15:01.950
- that you will miss.
- 00:15:01.950 --> 00:15:03.685
- Some people think,
- 00:15:03.685 --> 00:15:05.019
- oh, they're just sexual morality, sexual sins.
- 00:15:05.019 --> 00:15:10.391
- And other people think,
- 00:15:10.391 --> 00:15:12.193
- "Well, it's just for the young people."
- 00:15:12.193 --> 00:15:14.062
- I want to disabuse you of both.
- 00:15:14.062 --> 00:15:16.064
- Okay, listen to me very carefully please.
- 00:15:16.064 --> 00:15:19.634
- Youthful passion means more.
- 00:15:19.634 --> 00:15:22.103
- It means self-assertion.
- 00:15:22.103 --> 00:15:25.206
- It means self-indulgence.
- 00:15:25.206 --> 00:15:27.408
- It means headstrong.
- 00:15:27.408 --> 00:15:29.677
- It means being obstinate.
- 00:15:29.677 --> 00:15:32.513
- It means being arrogant.
- 00:15:32.513 --> 00:15:34.816
- See, these are the normally things associated
- 00:15:34.816 --> 00:15:36.985
- with the early ages of adolescence.
- 00:15:36.985 --> 00:15:39.420
- And I have met adolescents in this church who absolutely
- 00:15:39.420 --> 00:15:41.856
- amaze me at their strength and maturity.
- 00:15:41.856 --> 00:15:45.693
- But this is just the general idea.
- 00:15:45.693 --> 00:15:50.665
- But the person at any age should have nothing to do with that.
- 00:15:50.665 --> 00:15:59.440
- These temptations are there for the old and the young alike
- 00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:03.511
- to be sure they are associated with adolescence.
- 00:16:03.511 --> 00:16:07.915
- But everybody ought to flee from those kinds of things.
- 00:16:07.915 --> 00:16:14.756
- There is a common mistake among believers.
- 00:16:14.756 --> 00:16:17.825
- There's a common error.
- 00:16:17.825 --> 00:16:20.194
- I want to explain it to you.
- 00:16:20.194 --> 00:16:22.663
- And I know you'll understand as soon as they explain it.
- 00:16:22.663 --> 00:16:26.234
- The Bible said flee from temptation,
- 00:16:26.234 --> 00:16:30.338
- but resist the devil.
- 00:16:30.338 --> 00:16:33.374
- Flee from what?
- 00:16:33.374 --> 00:16:35.843
- Resist who?
- 00:16:35.843 --> 00:16:40.014
- There's a reason for that.
- 00:16:40.014 --> 00:16:41.682
- God knows us, he made us.
- 00:16:41.682 --> 00:16:43.618
- He knows us inside out.
- 00:16:43.618 --> 00:16:46.621
- And he gave us that delicate formula because God knows
- 00:16:46.621 --> 00:16:51.759
- that it's much easier to resist the devil
- 00:16:51.759 --> 00:16:55.363
- and flee from temptation.
- 00:16:55.363 --> 00:16:59.200
- Here's what many Christians fall into the--make the mistake
- 00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:04.739
- of reversing those orders.
- 00:17:04.739 --> 00:17:08.709
- You know what I mean?
- 00:17:08.709 --> 00:17:10.044
- They reverse them.
- 00:17:10.044 --> 00:17:11.479
- They try to resist the temptation,
- 00:17:11.479 --> 00:17:13.781
- then they flee from the devil.
- 00:17:13.781 --> 00:17:16.484
- When you try to resist temptation,
- 00:17:16.484 --> 00:17:18.653
- you got a big percentage of a chance to fall in it.
- 00:17:18.653 --> 00:17:22.857
- But if you flee from it, you got 99.9% chance of avoiding it.
- 00:17:22.857 --> 00:17:30.364
- Fleeing from the devil should not be the case, why?
- 00:17:30.364 --> 00:17:36.370
- Because you have to stand mano a mano with the devil.
- 00:17:36.370 --> 00:17:41.742
- You stare him down, and you can do what I do.
- 00:17:41.742 --> 00:17:46.280
- I talk to the devil.
- 00:17:46.280 --> 00:17:48.316
- I say to the devil, "You're a defeated foe.
- 00:17:48.316 --> 00:17:50.952
- You're a toothless lion.
- 00:17:50.952 --> 00:17:53.020
- You cannot have any authority over me because I am redeemed
- 00:17:53.020 --> 00:17:56.491
- by the blood of Jesus Christ".
- 00:17:56.491 --> 00:18:00.495
- What does Scripture?
- 00:18:00.495 --> 00:18:02.897
- Nothing shall separate us from the love of God,
- 00:18:02.897 --> 00:18:05.133
- not even you, devil.
- 00:18:05.133 --> 00:18:07.368
- And you know what?
- 00:18:07.368 --> 00:18:09.804
- When you stand your ground, and you resist the devil,
- 00:18:09.804 --> 00:18:12.807
- do you know what happens?
- 00:18:12.807 --> 00:18:14.575
- The devil is the one who flees.
- 00:18:14.575 --> 00:18:16.410
- That's what the Word of God said.
- 00:18:16.410 --> 00:18:17.778
- I'm not making it up.
- 00:18:17.778 --> 00:18:20.715
- But a lot of believers linger and try to fight temptation
- 00:18:20.715 --> 00:18:25.786
- instead of fleeing.
- 00:18:25.786 --> 00:18:29.023
- And then, they get themselves
- 00:18:29.023 --> 00:18:31.192
- a bigger chance of falling into it.
- 00:18:31.192 --> 00:18:33.761
- But then when we flee, we don't just flee to nowhere
- 00:18:33.761 --> 00:18:37.031
- or to nothing.
- 00:18:37.031 --> 00:18:38.833
- No, no, no, no.
- 00:18:38.833 --> 00:18:40.168
- We flee to righteousness.
- 00:18:40.168 --> 00:18:43.204
- The Bible is so clear.
- 00:18:43.204 --> 00:18:45.306
- We are to deny ourselves and follow Jesus.
- 00:18:45.306 --> 00:18:49.043
- We are to put off what belongs to the flesh to the old nature,
- 00:18:49.043 --> 00:18:53.481
- put on what belongs to the new nature,
- 00:18:53.481 --> 00:18:56.617
- that we are to put to death our earthly members,
- 00:18:56.617 --> 00:18:59.554
- and set our minds on things above.
- 00:18:59.554 --> 00:19:02.456
- We are to crucify the flesh, and walk in the Spirit.
- 00:19:02.456 --> 00:19:07.128
- We are to be ruthlessly rejecting one and relentlessly
- 00:19:07.128 --> 00:19:11.232
- pursue the other.
- 00:19:11.232 --> 00:19:13.467
- Now, beloved, listen, this is the secret if there is a secret.
- 00:19:13.467 --> 00:19:16.470
- There's such thing.
- 00:19:16.470 --> 00:19:18.206
- This is the secret to victory.
- 00:19:18.206 --> 00:19:20.274
- This is the secret to godly living.
- 00:19:20.274 --> 00:19:22.577
- The third imagery.
- 00:19:22.577 --> 00:19:24.512
- If you following with me, follow please.
- 00:19:24.512 --> 00:19:27.181
- The Apostle Paul gives us a third imagery here
- 00:19:27.181 --> 00:19:31.686
- and that's of obedient loyal servant
- 00:19:31.686 --> 00:19:37.258
- just like the worker, not ashamed,
- 00:19:37.258 --> 00:19:39.794
- because he cuts straight lines,
- 00:19:39.794 --> 00:19:42.763
- just like a vessel that is continuously cleansing itself
- 00:19:42.763 --> 00:19:47.935
- for good use.
- 00:19:47.935 --> 00:19:49.904
- The servant, always obedient and loyal.
- 00:19:49.904 --> 00:19:55.276
- In the not-so-good old days, you know how people talk
- 00:19:55.276 --> 00:19:59.814
- about the good old days?
- 00:19:59.814 --> 00:20:01.148
- In the not-so-good old day, in the days of slavery,
- 00:20:01.148 --> 00:20:04.986
- a slave had an overriding duty-- obey his master,
- 00:20:04.986 --> 00:20:11.792
- doing the will of his master.
- 00:20:11.792 --> 00:20:15.129
- And he does that whether he agrees with the master or not,
- 00:20:15.129 --> 00:20:18.666
- whether he likes what the master's asked him
- 00:20:18.666 --> 00:20:21.302
- to do or not.
- 00:20:21.302 --> 00:20:23.070
- Our loyalty, our obedience, is to the boss.
- 00:20:23.070 --> 00:20:29.076
- Satan is forever trying to entrap us
- 00:20:29.076 --> 00:20:32.446
- to have divided loyalty, to have partial obedience.
- 00:20:32.446 --> 00:20:37.985
- And if you think that I don't know what that is,
- 00:20:37.985 --> 00:20:41.188
- you would be terribly mistaken.
- 00:20:41.188 --> 00:20:43.858
- I am forever alert of the fact when I'm being trapped.
- 00:20:43.858 --> 00:20:49.130
- Look at verse 26.
- 00:20:49.130 --> 00:20:53.367
- Being willing and joyful servant will equip us not
- 00:20:53.367 --> 00:20:57.672
- to fall in Satan's traps.
- 00:20:57.672 --> 00:21:01.942
- But not only that, but we help others not to fall into Satan
- 00:21:01.942 --> 00:21:08.182
- traps or if they do, we're able to help them be rescued.
- 00:21:08.182 --> 00:21:13.354
- I'm constantly reminding myself of this.
- 00:21:13.354 --> 00:21:18.259
- Let me tell you this story, as I conclude,
- 00:21:18.259 --> 00:21:21.762
- about faithfulness and the necessity
- 00:21:21.762 --> 00:21:25.833
- of reminding ourselves of being faithful day in and day out.
- 00:21:25.833 --> 00:21:31.405
- There's a very well-to-do homebuilder who
- 00:21:31.405 --> 00:21:35.810
- became so comfortable financially,
- 00:21:35.810 --> 00:21:38.279
- that he doesn't need to work anymore.
- 00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:39.680
- He had worked for many, many years,
- 00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:41.048
- and he decided he's about to retire.
- 00:21:41.048 --> 00:21:44.719
- But he also wanted to reward his foreman,
- 00:21:44.719 --> 00:21:48.356
- who has been with him for many years.
- 00:21:48.356 --> 00:21:51.192
- And so he said to his foreman, he said,
- 00:21:51.192 --> 00:21:53.361
- "You know, we're gonna go on a high.
- 00:21:53.361 --> 00:21:56.664
- I want you to build the biggest
- 00:21:56.664 --> 00:21:59.800
- and the best house that we have ever built.
- 00:21:59.800 --> 00:22:04.171
- No budget, no limits, get the best equipment,
- 00:22:04.171 --> 00:22:12.480
- the finest of material, no limits on the expenses.
- 00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:17.585
- I'm going to Europe for a year, and then I'm coming back.
- 00:22:17.585 --> 00:22:22.690
- I hope you'll finish it by then."
- 00:22:22.690 --> 00:22:26.227
- And sure enough, the unlimited budget idea just started
- 00:22:26.227 --> 00:22:31.365
- to dance in the mind of the foreman.
- 00:22:31.365 --> 00:22:35.469
- He said, "This is my chance to make a killing.
- 00:22:35.469 --> 00:22:38.305
- This is my chance to make a lot of money."
- 00:22:38.305 --> 00:22:41.809
- So, he built this mansion,
- 00:22:41.809 --> 00:22:45.479
- big house with the cheapest of materials.
- 00:22:45.479 --> 00:22:52.753
- He built it with the cheapest of fixtures that would not last.
- 00:22:52.753 --> 00:23:00.895
