0:00:00.814,0:00:02.766
You see what happened to Adam?

0:00:02.766,0:00:07.362
He and Eve are no longer viewing God

0:00:07.362,0:00:11.005
as though God is the One to be studied

0:00:11.005,0:00:12.016
and examined by them.

0:00:12.016,0:00:13.536
Suddenly, something's happened.

0:00:13.536,0:00:16.245
Adam - he's the one.

0:00:16.245,0:00:17.695
And you show me a man or woman

0:00:17.695,0:00:19.686
who's moving toward becoming a Christian,

0:00:19.686,0:00:21.415
I'll show you a man or woman

0:00:21.415,0:00:25.056
in whom a reversal like this takes place.

0:00:25.056,0:00:26.854
Something happens.

0:00:26.854,0:00:28.584
Suddenly, there's an awareness.

0:00:28.584,0:00:30.475
Suddenly, there's a consciousness

0:00:30.475,0:00:32.273
that we are being looked at.

0:00:32.273,0:00:33.835
God is looking at us.

0:00:33.835,0:00:35.305
God sees through us.

0:00:35.305,0:00:36.605
God knows us.

0:00:36.605,0:00:38.404
God is calling us out.

0:00:38.404,0:00:41.205
"Come out! Come out!"

0:00:41.205,0:00:43.836
Into the open.

0:00:43.836,0:00:45.955
Expose yourself.

0:00:45.955,0:00:47.834
You're hiding back there in the trees.

0:00:47.834,0:00:48.994
Come on out.

0:00:48.994,0:00:51.524
And we're the ones being called out.

0:00:51.524,0:00:53.056
Where are we?

0:00:53.056,0:00:54.774
"Where are you, Adam?"

0:00:54.774,0:00:56.256
Where are you?

0:00:56.256,0:00:57.255
This comes home.

0:00:57.255,0:01:00.214
See, this isn't just some relic

0:01:00.214,0:01:05.044
from Genesis 3 - musty and dry and dusty.

0:01:05.044,0:01:07.665
This is God speaking to every one of us.

0:01:07.665,0:01:10.955
And it happens today.

0:01:10.955,0:01:13.426
And God talks.

0:01:13.426,0:01:16.626
Where are you?

0:01:16.626,0:01:18.876
Where are you?

0:01:18.876,0:01:24.165
Adam, come out into the open.

0:01:24.165,0:01:25.861
Have you realized?

0:01:25.861,0:01:27.714
Have you realized this?

0:01:27.714,0:01:30.035
Among all the opinions and all the banter

0:01:30.035,0:01:33.486
in all the theories and all the talk,

0:01:33.486,0:01:35.925
have you ever come to the point

0:01:35.925,0:01:38.904
where you recognize that in this life

0:01:38.904,0:01:42.873
you are the one on trial?

0:01:42.873,0:01:45.095
God is not on trial.

0:01:45.095,0:01:48.775
When people make those kinds [br]of flippant statements about God,

0:01:48.775,0:01:50.875
they're speaking far more about themselves

0:01:50.875,0:01:53.656
than they're ever saying about God.

0:01:53.656,0:01:56.184
We are the ones on trial.

0:01:56.184,0:01:59.506
And I'll guarantee you, on judgment day,

0:01:59.506,0:02:02.126
there's no longer a [br]bantering about opinions,

0:02:02.126,0:02:06.656
what you believed about election.

0:02:06.656,0:02:08.634
It's "Adam, where are you?"

0:02:08.634,0:02:10.555
Where are you at?

0:02:10.555,0:02:14.395
What have you done?

0:02:14.395,0:02:17.586
Man rises up and says:

0:02:17.586,0:02:22.191
"My great brain is going [br]to figure God out."

0:02:22.191,0:02:24.495
"God, You're on trial here

0:02:24.495,0:02:26.035
and I'm going to figure You out,

0:02:26.035,0:02:27.846
and You better answer to me."

0:02:27.846,0:02:34.526
Man, oh, man talks like that all the time.

0:02:34.526,0:02:36.515
"Well, there's genocide in the Bible.

0:02:36.515,0:02:39.965
God, You better explain Yourself."

0:02:39.965,0:02:45.204
Have you ever heard people talk like that?

0:02:45.204,0:02:46.835
"There's election in the Bible.

0:02:46.835,0:02:47.994
We don't like that.

0:02:47.994,0:02:49.915
God, You better answer for that.

0:02:49.915,0:02:51.725
You choosing who You want.

0:02:51.725,0:02:54.545
Who do You think You are?"

0:02:54.545,0:03:00.368
That's the way man talks.

0:03:00.368,0:03:03.285
You know that.

0:03:03.285,0:03:04.916
Sin.

0:03:04.916,0:03:06.965
How did sin come into the world

0:03:06.965,0:03:09.005
if God is sovereign,

0:03:09.005,0:03:12.646
but God is not the author of it?

0:03:12.646,0:03:15.525
You see, people want to put God on trial.

0:03:15.525,0:03:18.106
"Well, God, You better answer for that

0:03:18.106,0:03:19.894
because I can't figure it out.

0:03:19.894,0:03:21.445
And I've applied my brain to it

0:03:21.445,0:03:23.565
and it seems like it's an inconsistency

0:03:23.565,0:03:26.515
and if my brain thinks [br]it's an inconsistency, then it is,

0:03:26.515,0:03:29.895
and so You better explain Yourself."

0:03:29.895,0:03:31.425
And that's how man is.

0:03:31.425,0:03:33.745
"God, I want an answer as to why

0:03:33.745,0:03:36.114
children get terrible diseases."

0:03:36.114,0:03:37.896
"You need to answer for that tsumani

0:03:37.896,0:03:41.725
(or that earthquake or that [br]hurricane or that tornado).

0:03:41.725,0:03:43.334
But you know what happens

0:03:43.334,0:03:46.315
when God comes to a soul

0:03:46.315,0:03:49.875
and He speaks?

0:03:49.875,0:03:57.645
Adam, Eve, where are you?

0:03:57.645,0:04:03.274
Suddenly...

0:04:03.274,0:04:04.894
we thought God was the one

0:04:04.894,0:04:08.305
being dissected and analyzed.

0:04:08.305,0:04:09.905
We thought with our great brains

0:04:09.905,0:04:11.815
we were going to examine the Scriptures

0:04:11.815,0:04:13.385
and we were going to examine God

0:04:13.385,0:04:15.275
and we were going to figure it all out,

0:04:15.275,0:04:16.886
but then God's voice comes to us

0:04:16.886,0:04:21.485
and we recognize -

0:04:21.485,0:04:23.356
I just had this picture in my mind.

0:04:23.356,0:04:27.644
Sometimes we think we're [br]spectators in the stands.

0:04:27.644,0:04:29.576
We're kind of lost in the crowd.

0:04:29.576,0:04:31.375
We're watching the game.

0:04:31.375,0:04:34.205
We applaud or we boo.

0:04:34.205,0:04:36.506
We're the judges.

0:04:36.506,0:04:40.203
But it's almost like the [br]referee just spins around

0:04:40.203,0:04:42.677
and he throws his finger up into the crowd

0:04:42.677,0:04:44.785
and he says, "You."

0:04:44.785,0:04:47.275
You're no longer a spectator.

0:04:47.275,0:04:51.785
You are the one on trial.

0:04:51.785,0:04:54.675
And you can't just sit there in the crowd

0:04:54.675,0:04:56.474
like a spectator

0:04:56.474,0:05:00.686
because you have to do with God.

0:05:00.686,0:05:03.335
Where are you?

0:05:03.335,0:05:05.906
God's not asking us about our opinions.

0:05:05.906,0:05:09.157
He's interested in us.

0:05:09.157,0:05:11.364
Adam, where are you?

0:05:11.364,0:05:13.146
I'm speaking to you.

0:05:13.146,0:05:16.603
Adam, where are you?

0:05:16.603,0:05:18.926
This excerpt is from the full sermon:

0:05:18.926,0:05:20.556
Where is Adam?
