Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.93,0:00:20.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from the standpoint that,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.67,0:00:23.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,basically, if you're justified,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.67,0:00:28.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the faith that justifies,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.69,0:00:32.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the faith that saves \Nfrom the wrath of God,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.80,0:00:38.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,must be a faith
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.36,0:00:41.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that breaks the dominion \Nof sin in your life.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.98,0:00:49.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The faith that saves us \Nfrom the wrath of God
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.42,0:00:52.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,must be a faith that saves us

Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.66,0:00:58.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if that faith doesn't save

Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.75,0:01:06.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then it will not save you \Nfrom the wrath of God.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.83,0:01:10.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now as I said, obviously we're
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.73,0:01:13.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,never talking perfection;
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.09,0:01:18.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but we are talking about \Na faith that puts you

Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.76,0:01:34.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I didn't know where \Nthey were coming from,

Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.63,0:01:41.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so I wanted to hit this thing \Nfrom that standpoint.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.91,0:01:44.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the purpose of this series all along
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.91,0:01:47.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,has been to equip the believer.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.91,0:01:50.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It isn't so much that I want to come along

Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.66,0:02:20.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I'll tell you, one of the \Npassions that wages war,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.64,0:02:28.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's sexual temptation.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.28,0:02:33.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, it is a sin that takes out

Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.58,0:02:45.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So how do we abstain? \NHere's the commandment;

Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.54,0:03:16.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But it's not only a problem in men,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.82,0:03:19.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,obviously it's a problem in women as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.82,0:03:23.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And as my wife fills me in,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.81,0:03:28.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you know, men are visually driven,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.42,0:03:58.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to get that kind of attention.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.39,0:04:00.100,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Look, the passion that drives a man
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.100,0:04:02.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,may be a little bit different
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.45,0:04:04.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than the passion that drives a woman.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.44,0:04:06.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In other words, a man may be seeking

Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.11,0:04:11.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,while a woman may not be seeking that

Dialogue: 0,0:04:14.03,0:04:18.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And yet, she's willing to \Ntake the same course
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.31,0:04:20.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to try to come to that end.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.02,0:04:23.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You have two people that \Nmaybe their ends are different,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.47,0:04:26.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but they're willing to \Ngo about it the same way.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.18,0:04:29.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so, basically, what we have are
Dialogue: 0,0:04:29.84,0:04:32.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these things are fighting \Nagainst the soul.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.84,0:04:34.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How do we abstain?

Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.57,0:04:40.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,How do we fight it?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.21,0:04:48.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now look, I know, increasingly,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:48.03,0:04:53.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's so obvious to me, \Nand I hope it is to you.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.49,0:04:59.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Somebody read Romans 12:2.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.58,0:05:03.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"I urge you therefore, brethren, \Nbased upon the mercies of God,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.19,0:05:06.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to present your bodies \Nas a living sacrifice,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.31,0:05:09.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,holy and acceptable to God, \Nwhich is your spiritual worship.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.41,0:05:12.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And do not be conformed to this world,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.06,0:05:15.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but be transformed by \Nthe renewal of your mind,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:15.06,0:05:17.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you may know what the good,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.81,0:05:21.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,perfect and pleasing will of God is."
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.27,0:05:24.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Look, you've got your body.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.74,0:05:28.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know what's amazing to me, \Nespecially after I studied?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.76,0:05:30.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here you have Peter,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:30.41,0:05:32.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,saying that these passions wage war
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.20,0:05:33.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,against the soul.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.41,0:05:36.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I think so often we think that way:
Dialogue: 0,0:05:36.17,0:05:39.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Spirit, soul, that's where the battle is.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.17,0:05:43.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sometimes we kind of relegate the body.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.74,0:05:46.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We don't see it to be near as important
Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.47,0:05:48.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as what it seems like in the Scripture.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.62,0:05:50.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Especially in Romans, as I studied it,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.76,0:05:58.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it was interesting that if \Nyou're living in the flesh,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.25,0:05:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you're going to die.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.99,0:06:03.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if, by the Spirit, you \Nput to death - not just sin,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.45,0:06:05.53,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but it's interesting - deeds of the body.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.53,0:06:07.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's saying, "Offer your body."
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.65,0:06:10.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We're to be these living sacrifices.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.24,0:06:13.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And here's the way,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.03,0:06:16.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we need to be geared \Ntowards the will of God.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.48,0:06:20.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that comes about through \Na renewing of the mind;
Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.82,0:06:23.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which he also says in Ephesians,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:23.43,0:06:28.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"We need to be renewed \Nin the spirit of our minds,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:28.96,0:06:34.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,putting on the new man that's created
Dialogue: 0,0:06:34.35,0:06:36.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,after the likeness of God."
Dialogue: 0,0:06:36.96,0:06:39.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's really the mind.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:39.74,0:06:45.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Mindsets are where this battle is fought.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:45.52,0:06:48.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now you just tell me this.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:48.26,0:06:57.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Look, I'm not talking \Nright now about the lost.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:57.52,0:07:00.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You were lost. Everybody \Nin this room was lost.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:00.91,0:07:04.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know how you dealt \Nwith sexual temptation.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:04.31,0:07:12.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know why you gave place to it.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:12.45,0:07:15.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I suppose that the reasons
Dialogue: 0,0:07:15.50,0:07:18.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that a lost person would give place to it,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:18.50,0:07:21.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can probably drag that \Nover into the Christian realm.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:21.38,0:07:26.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I want you to tell me this:
Dialogue: 0,0:07:26.27,0:07:29.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Christians fall into sexual sin.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:29.27,0:07:31.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why?
Dialogue: 0,0:07:31.22,0:07:34.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In other words, what's \Ngoing on in the mind?
Dialogue: 0,0:07:34.44,0:07:39.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Look, there's never a vacuum up \Nhere when people fall into sin.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:39.25,0:07:42.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Certain thoughts, certain reasonings,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:42.07,0:07:44.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,certain deductions, certain logic.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:44.41,0:07:48.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's thoughts that fill the mind.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:48.01,0:07:52.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now a person may try not to \Nthink about certain things,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:52.22,0:07:54.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but he's definitely \Nthinking about something,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:54.63,0:07:56.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or she is thinking about something.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:56.50,0:08:00.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I want to ask you this:
Dialogue: 0,0:08:00.46,0:08:03.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What mindset controls a man or a woman,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:03.46,0:08:05.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a Christian man or a woman,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:05.77,0:08:10.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who gives place with the \Neyeball and looks with lust;
Dialogue: 0,0:08:10.46,0:08:15.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gives place to something like \NInternet pornography or masturbation;
Dialogue: 0,0:08:15.80,0:08:19.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or actually falls into the actual sin
Dialogue: 0,0:08:19.52,0:08:23.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the person of the opposite sex?
Dialogue: 0,0:08:23.04,0:08:27.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And far be it from me to say \Nthat it's not possible for a Christian
Dialogue: 0,0:08:27.41,0:08:31.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to fall into sex with \Nsomebody of the same sex.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:31.90,0:08:34.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, we obviously have \Nexamples in the Scripture.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:34.76,0:08:36.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We know that it can happen.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:36.42,0:08:39.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We see Christians that \Nwere involved in it
Dialogue: 0,0:08:39.46,0:08:42.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,being strongly rebuked.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:42.12,0:08:45.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We see Paul, the way he \Nspoke to the Corinthians.
