Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.24,0:00:44.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and when I lead a more mature walk.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.30,0:00:46.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't think this is the Biblical mindset,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.23,0:00:49.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but I'm not sure."
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.79,0:00:56.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm just going to end by saying one thing to Ken.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.30,0:00:58.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are a number of things that could be said,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:58.45,0:01:04.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but Ken, I would have you go to Scripture,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.25,0:01:08.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and very specifically to Mark 5:15,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.81,0:01:10.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,maybe even start a little earlier there,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.74,0:01:13.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's the account of the demoniac,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.46,0:01:19.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the man that was full of the legion of demons.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.57,0:01:21.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Once that man was delivered
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.57,0:01:24.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he was set in his right mind,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.66,0:01:27.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you remember he was at times chained
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.56,0:01:28.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he would break the chains.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.96,0:01:30.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He ran around in the tombs.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.77,0:01:32.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He would slash himself.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.27,0:01:33.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He would cry out.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.36,0:01:35.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People couldn't even go that way.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.43,0:01:37.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, he was just fierce,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.45,0:01:41.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we actually understand from Matthew's Gospel
Dialogue: 0,0:01:41.47,0:01:43.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that there were two men.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.29,0:01:48.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, what happened after this man was

Dialogue: 0,0:01:50.78,0:01:53.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,delivered of all these legion of demons,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.51,0:01:56.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the people from that area came to Jesus.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.96,0:01:59.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They saw the demon possessed man,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.32,0:02:00.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the one who had had the legion
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.54,0:02:02.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sitting there clothed and in his right mind.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.99,0:02:04.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They were afraid.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.46,0:02:05.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Those that had seen it described to them
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.86,0:02:07.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what had happened to the demon possessed man
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.75,0:02:09.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and to the pigs.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.21,0:02:10.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You remember, the legion of demons
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.49,0:02:11.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,went out into the pigs,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.61,0:02:13.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the pigs all ran down into the ocean
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.96,0:02:16.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,over the cliff into the ocean.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.14,0:02:17.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They died.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.58,0:02:19.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They began to beg Jesus to depart
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.08,0:02:20.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,from their region.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.84,0:02:22.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And as He was getting into the boat,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.29,0:02:24.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the man who had been possessed with the demons
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.09,0:02:27.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,begged Him that he might be with Him.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.25,0:02:30.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And He did not permit him, but said to him,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.60,0:02:32.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Go home to your friends,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.77,0:02:35.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and tell them how much the Lord has done for you,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.50,0:02:37.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and how He has had mercy on you."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.78,0:02:41.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, Ken, no matter how immature you are,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.61,0:02:43.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,no matter how recently saved you are,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:43.78,0:02:49.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,let that man be an example for us.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.14,0:02:51.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Christ did not think he was too immature
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.47,0:02:54.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to go speak to his family and his friends
Dialogue: 0,0:02:54.47,0:03:00.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and his kinsmen and his city.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.88,0:03:04.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We have to be careful about that whole attitude.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.94,0:03:07.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We don't feel like we can do anything for God.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.41,0:03:11.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not really as though God needs us to do anything.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.06,0:03:13.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, what Scripture makes very clear
Dialogue: 0,0:03:13.41,0:03:16.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is without Christ we can do nothing,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.68,0:03:18.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and if we're not abiding in Him,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.18,0:03:19.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can do nothing.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.74,0:03:22.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And when we talk that talk, I just don't feel like
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.78,0:03:24.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I can do anything for God,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.47,0:03:26.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the fact is the best thing,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.26,0:03:29.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the smallest thing, the most trifling thing
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.93,0:03:32.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we can ever do that's worth anything,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.79,0:03:34.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He has done through us.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.20,0:03:35.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We are His workmanship
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.92,0:03:40.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,created in Christ Jesus for good works.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.57,0:03:43.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if we're not abiding in Him,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.21,0:03:45.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and He's not supporting it and strengthening it,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.98,0:03:49.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and giving us the grace to carry it out,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:49.97,0:03:52.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we simply can't go there.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.50,0:03:54.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,God is not waiting around for us.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.73,0:03:57.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Didn't God say in the Psalms,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.44,0:04:00.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,"Look, if I were hungry I would not come to you."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.84,0:04:05.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why? Because all the food is His.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.23,0:04:09.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,He doesn't need us in that fashion.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.10,0:04:12.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if there's uncleanness in the life,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.34,0:04:19.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then it's true, and we hear it on Sunday afternoon.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.47,0:04:24.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You're a fit vessel when you're a clean vessel.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.18,0:04:25.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if there's sin in the life,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.37,0:04:28.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we need to repent of the sin.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.29,0:04:30.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Clean vessels will get used.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.90,0:04:34.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They'll be profitable for the Master's use.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.16,0:04:37.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's what Paul taught Timothy.
