  23. in the Man and then finally Namala Pina Coladas suburb, the

  24. Rocco and then eventually Dan Dahan client and then and those

  25. were the first things that I remembered.

  26. I thought my son's in Salina man bike noon.

  27. That's the and then I am surprised now, No, the mug bike

  28. and was teaching them this very same thing.

  29. And that was what I was probably nine years old then.

  30. I still remember that. I still remembered how I'm going

  31. to make a curve and then maroon bikes and Hindi Kusha

  32. Nakalimutan. And it made me realise a lot of

  33. things about what we got used to as a child or what we got used

  34. to when we were growing up. And those are really the things

  35. that stays with us and oftentimes make positives

  36. Lantian or positive example. It means napapansin is long in

  37. positive example are reinforced by the things that we do as an

  38. early in an early childhood and then again permanent shine in

  39. additional motor. The same is true with signing.

  40. The same is true when it comes to the things that makes us sin.

  41. So Sobra Nathan Sham, we've gone used to it that it has become

  42. automatic for us. Nakapag when time comes that

  43. it's time for us to sin parents second nature nothing Shah

  44. kayang Kaya nottingshire problema at parang parang walang

  45. nangyari satin in. I imagine every time that it's

  46. happening to us, we we question our own conversion, we question

  47. our own understanding of scripture.

  48. We even question our own love for our God and somehow it

  49. becomes a guilt factor to most Christians.

  50. And because of that burden, a lot of people are unsure of

  51. their assurances with regard to their salvation, which is why

  52. it's a great blessing for the reform of faith to continually

  53. preach on and make us understand the very basic nature of

  54. sanctification. And it is this that the real

  55. enemy lies within, that the man in the mirror is actually our

  56. greatest adversary. And to truly conquer these

  57. challenges, once we get converted, that is the real time

  58. Kumbaga. And point is, let the game

  59. begin. Or this is it.

  60. This is when the battle against the war of sin truly begins.

  61. Because that's the only time we will be capable of confronting

  62. our own very nature sinful inclinations that only then

  63. Matututo Tayo at Mato Toro and Battalion same things that we

  64. battle ourselves. So worldliness is one of the

  65. things that I would say part of the components that makes us

  66. sin. Kumbaga worldliness is one of

  67. those things that I would say must be tackled on or must be

  68. faced or must be preached on because this is where we as

  69. Christians match with our sinful desires.

  70. Minsunderland Papansin lagging pairing passion meron tayong and

  71. I'll drop a term inordinate desires, meaning desires that

  72. goes against the very will of our good God at inordinate

  73. desire style and it's being matched with worldly components.

  74. That is the time that the temptation gets stronger and

  75. those are often more often than not, are the reasons why we fall

  76. to sin. And that is why we have to know

  77. this. We have to understand it so that

  78. in the end of the, I know at the end of any understanding of it,

  79. the goal is for us to be more watched full and to be to be

  80. more prayerful about it. There is really nothing, no, no

  81. command or no, no imperative aside from to watch and to pray.

  82. And that is what I want us to dwell on this Lord's Day

  83. morning, because when sin, sin comes in, it disrupts peace and

  84. also disrupts the effectivity of our ministry.

  85. But we understand that it is by God's grace that we are being

  86. sanctified. That is why when a believer is

  87. united to Christ by faith and repentance and the Spirit is at

  88. work, we know that this is when we are able to truly progress in

  89. holiness. And true religion involves not

  90. just about worshipping God, not just about loving one's

  91. neighbor, not just about avoiding slander, which is

  92. nothing before and judgment, but more so being able to rage war

  93. against worldliness. So I want us to dwell on this.

  94. I want us to focus on this for the next minutes that we'll be

  95. studying at Sword. But I believe a prayer will

  96. always be in order so that we'll have a heart that is soft and

  97. not hard and will be able to understand it with faith.

  98. So let us borrow heads and let us pray.

  99. Ohh Lord, take away the veil of our hearts while we read

  100. scriptures. Bless are you.

  101. Lord, teach us your statutes. Give us a word of Father of the

  102. Word, a word of the Father. Touch our hearts and lighten the

  103. understanding of our minds. Open our lips and fill them with

  104. your praise. Amen.

  105. So the source of our wilderness is actually inordinate desires.

  106. So one of the, I would say, contribution of the early

  107. Christian or the Church Fathers to our understanding on this is

  108. the doctrine of one Q presents the doctrine of concupiscence.

  109. Teach that the dessert to sin is sin, or you think about one of

  110. the things that I had to grapple with.

  111. Kumbaga coming out from an evangelical feed case made sense

  112. of view Ako are conscious or unconscious permission, some

  113. sense of an understanding doctrinally.

  114. Now perfection in this world is possible that I can be

  115. ministerially without any fault, that I can be perfect in terms

  116. of holiness. And that is the goal.

  117. And if you came out from a methodistic or Armenian or young

  118. church learning good learning paddling code single Malaga

  119. sympathy tayo Yuma Ganon. I grew up in that space and

  120. that's why unconsciously and trajection Covas okay, I have to

  121. attain perfection or else I will not attain heaven.

  122. So when I was I was mega concupiscence, was not aware

  123. even of my own sin that the doctor in the concupiscence

  124. states that at the desired level I have to know if I'm signing or

  125. not. Kumbaga Hindi.

  126. Hindi. Well-being.

  127. A man maybe. And I know, I know, you know

  128. Amara Minto and got Walang flood control project.

  129. Okay, so okay, nice seeing it being like states of creation.

  130. Yeah so Parang Ganon so any say and got in OK love and problem

  131. with on is Hindi kalang aware nalavana sasaktan samara salana

  132. nahin dimo Alam nagagawa mo Pala.

  133. That is why the doctrine of concupiscence teaches us that we

  134. have to understand our sin at the desire level and not in

  135. desire. Pinagusapan attended to you

  136. Hindi Nikita in union sinasabi dinner most likely to generate

  137. Hindi Morin alarm for yourselves.

  138. That is why even and regenerate even regenerate believers must

  139. understand, but not because they generate specifically.

  140. You've been born again and you've been converted to faith

  141. and repentance. Even with that, we must accept

  142. the fact that sin remains in the flesh, that this desire lives in

  143. us, and regardless concern Musha Parma he attributes of flesh

  144. itself suppression. I would say both Pedro either

  145. way, either way, my Indiana attendance, but now you desire

  146. NATO will always be in opposition to what is good, what

  147. is right and what the law of God says and Merangsang steering of

  148. the heart and merchant dreaming of the mind and merchant

  149. coercion. Sobel moment not regenerate Napo

  150. mera naku enablement to obey God's will, and yet the same

  151. person that I am have have still still the same nature in me,

  152. simultaneously agrees to sin, justifies sin, and even in me

  153. steers in me sin. New suppose to come Miss Madonna

  154. Gagalingan Castellana. Okay, so that is why James was

  155. written for the very purpose of us being exposed to this cause.

  156. James Lee's done for us the reverse metaphor of sin that

  157. instead of bringing vitality and life in us.

  158. Sin now brings forth death and somehow knowing been a bossa

  159. photo before I'm understanding call is it only talks about the

  160. justification or your prior to conversion to human

  161. understanding that led me to Christ.

  162. Yes, that is the, I would say the second use of the law, but

  163. we're not talking about that. We're talking about the third

  164. use of the law, the ability of the law to guide you and to

  165. teach you what is right and what is lawful and when we sin.

  166. Even so, I'm assuming that you are converted when we sin,

  167. either that sin brings us to death or we bring to death this

  168. sin. So union sinasabi njan over and

  169. malino nadala competing mangiare for your daily sanctification.

  170. I'm not talking about your weekly Lord's Day gathering

  171. Alamo protection and attention for this very worldly place.

  172. Pero a weekly thing will still be needing needing daily

  173. mortification. Cause Kiamo alumna Young Church

  174. is weirdly not because how you met them on the Lord's Day, but

  175. you know that for the whole week they have been worried Lee.

  176. That's why wordlessly landlords de Leon so union daily tasks

  177. that will be able to either kill the sin or that very sin will be

  178. killing us. So you apna goes up Andito is

  179. not your eternal destiny death. This is not your physical death.

  180. It's not even talking about the death of your spiritual

  181. relationship with Christ or with the spirit, because that in

  182. itself were restored to you past tense when you were converted

  183. because that is a result of regeneration.

  184. We're not talking about that. We're talking about, we're

  185. talking about here sin metaphorically in a in a manner

  186. that would that would akin to a battle or a war.

  187. So are metaphor cause diva among and about now?

  188. But go start StarCraft Stark classic your nilaro kayo

  189. networking in Dipayan Internet. So StarCraft Diva the general

  190. idea is and somehow it you're obviously the general of that

  191. whole, let's say battalion one way or the other.

  192. If you want to kill a camp, you'll have to one think

  193. strategically and the senior haha boy, so Mamata and along

  194. the way and and somehow, one way or the other, the the still the

  195. main goal. If the Metallica, the main goal

  196. is for you to succeed to to succeed, to capture and to

  197. defeat the enemy and somehow Emporium metaphor Dito and

  198. Pinagusapan Dito is young daily task more of trying to put off

  199. put down specific temptations desires to see Nan Hindi Pasha

  200. full blown. Okay Nanaka attached to tempt

  201. you to sin soliciting Kapoor. I'm dying detour you pinapatay

  202. mo dito Hindi. Always sell this to everyone as

  203. a as a matter of wisdom. I nag fall to sin publicly,

  204. shamefully guilty, guilty talaga.

  205. A lot of things that happen prior to his actual fall that I

  206. would say don't. Maximilian Kasalanan.

  207. And the failure will always be because that person did not kill

  208. that scene early on in his life or indeed daily care.

  209. Nangyari on on a Friday. Monday palang Hindi pinabayaan

  210. ananya so angara Kaya when is. If we're going to kill sin, then

  211. we have to understand that it must be dealt with in the level

  212. of the desire. Okay, so Paul listed the source

  213. of this in as concupiscence or you sinful desire.

  214. Well, while Orsino's refers to this as inordinate desire, the

  215. source of worldliness come back at that your worldly or the way

  216. we are looking at the worldly is always externally demonstrated.

  217. Worldliness is not something worldliness case, it's something

  218. that would reflect the kind of heart or kind of the desert

  219. desires in America. And the source of that desire

  220. that we must be able to identify so that we are going to be

  221. living against worldliness is inordinate desire.

  222. And one that I want us to reinforce to, to reinforce about

  223. inordinate desire is that you are responsible for it.

  224. You are responsible for it and somehow union Nakalimutan Kappa

  225. ghar today because somehow at this level parang participative,

  226. so congregational communal and most of us leaders thinks think

  227. that we are ministering to you only on the communal level, but

  228. not on a personal level. The parade and the thing, the

  229. ministry is just so that I can just publicly preach the gospel

  230. to you, administer the the Lord's Lord's Supper to you, but

  231. I don't care how you live your lives.

  232. That is wrong because responsibility for the killing

  233. of sin is on the person level. Each individual believers are

  234. responsible to kill that sin because that sin remains in them

  235. and union problema it doesn't. You also have a remaining sin in

  236. you, so it remains in you and it also remains in them.

  237. So one way or the other, it would be hard.

  238. It would be hard if you yourself trying to battle these sins, and

  239. then to battle battle their own sins.

  240. OK so in order in ordinate desires means now don't Tong

  241. Tong ito sudden kapag meron Shang unrestrained and unchecked

  242. desires untie makaka problema and even in a membership level

  243. individually tayo we are responsible for that if nakita

  244. Lang kayo every Lord's Day. Hello every large day Malaya

  245. Malaya parent not on the young been applied the new it's easy

  246. by new and that Kalyan is part is part of the because you have

  247. your own. If an unbeliever may may

  248. unbanded wheelbarrow. If a believer still it's still a

  249. sanctified will pair of still syncing remains, then you can

  250. still sin and when union problema unchecking of these

  251. things. That is why we have to make sure

  252. that this is something that we are all involved with

  253. individually, but at the same time, we make sure that we

  254. preach on this on a communal level so that everyone would

  255. accept that they are the one who are responsible for it.

  256. And what is this desire that we're talking about?

  257. Well, anything that opposes God and His law.

  258. And as a consequence, this is what we are lasting after the

  259. passions of this world. Why?

  260. Because we are used to it. So Papa Neon Wisdom pastor,

  261. think of everything that you do automatically and you're not

  262. aware of done more young Matatagalan going and young

  263. inordinate desire. Until now actually, although

  264. just recently because Nolan and tribal I've never been conscious

  265. of Magastos cause say rich kid away the casing.

  266. I got used to the lifestyle, so that is Hindi ako used to the

  269. indeed. Good, good go.

  270. Pero, I've been mindful of Indiana Monagano credit card.

  271. So have you been Ryan and Nick in a 2000 pesos allowance cada

  278. those are the things normally it nabagay and because malili eat

  281. ECMO hangat indeed, kanaka casala Bonga Bonga Safa and got

  282. in the public in Hindi in your mindset, nothing that they

  283. showed up with Jen. So okay, long enough to maintain

  284. the hand. Yes, we will deal with it and we

  285. must be conscious about it when it is happening real time on our

  286. daily lives. OK, because while we are while

  287. we can say that we have been freed from Roman 6 Unicode go

  288. that we have been that we no longer live under the reign of

  289. sin, Yet we know that still still still remains in us, and

  290. it is only by God's grace that we are enabled to restrain it.

  291. Therefore, we must mortify our sins and it is our God-given

  292. Christian responsibility and I hope Jamie Malimutan monkey

  293. Saddam in Azina Biko your your holiness is your responsibility.

  294. And I preface that or premise that by saying I'm talking to a

  295. believer, A regenerate believer. Alright, so let's expose verse

  296. one. Verse one expose points out to

  297. us the cause of divisiveness in the behaviour of the

  298. congregation in the church that James is writing tomb.

  299. And if you would notice he's not he's writing to the dispersion

  300. somehow Himalayan math sense and historical background.

  301. Either way, either way on and I think I'm being a beneficial

  302. long to understand first is there are a visible believing

  303. congregation it because I've done and since I've done it.

  304. Are you and still marine division still Mero manga saying

  305. that ravages the church. Yes, yes, you know, because that

  306. is the nature of the visible church until crimes, Christ

  307. comes back again and the behaviour of the congregation is

  308. following the passions at war within them.

  309. And if it's talking about the war, therefore they are not or

  310. combat, they are neglecting the duty to actively mortify their

  311. sense, but it's not because in that they are being conquered by

  312. the passions of their desserts. Because behind Lagi sayang Palo

  313. on the daily level, okay, Palo in the daily level, everyone is

  314. personally responsible for maintaining peace and love in

  315. the church. However, that that sense of

  316. maintaining peace and love in the Church is not an individual

  317. responsibility of the leaders, but each individual

  318. responsibility of all believing members of the Church.

  319. Pansino Japan Church not breakdown now like breakdown

  320. now. It's primarily because I'm on

  321. top of mind maybe liver Burdon and I would argue against

  322. myself. I think my believe we're done so

  323. back in and Ganglion Church. Well, I would say because Yunia

  324. Kaya pumasok Sabini James dito they failed to kill sin at the

  325. desired level. Hindi cosc hin kumbaga human

  326. Sabina. There's really no point on

  327. putting down a person who is down in the ground and appointed

  328. in the Catalan national. Dapat Montagnon is Humana Humana

  329. Watchmen human is a church leaders and church bakit

  330. Nangyari and it was unchecked the responsibilities with them

  331. and the reason combating Disneyland attraction is because

  332. they themselves are not doing the task of sanctification.

  333. They're not mortifying. That's why, biblically speaking,

  334. their sinful desires continue to pester in their flesh.

  335. And a problem Indiana Chiquita because again capo leaders and

  336. church assumed the mall members the Hindi nila kailangan Caetano

  337. so deep banal Selama Islam. Then that's the problem with the

  338. congregation because C needs habituated in the body, everyone

  339. will have the capacity to desire to oppose it.

  340. And as a consequence, we as a consequence, we will understand

  341. that they themselves are are in need of sanctifying or

  342. mortifying these things. So James wants to establish that

  343. peace is a result of godly wisdom.

  344. But godly wisdom will not come to a leader or the leadership if

  345. they themselves are not mortifying cause in godly wisdom

  346. is positive. So positive putting onion you're

  347. putting off and you cannot have a putting on or godly wisdom if

  348. there is no putting off and madalas and Nakalimutan you

  349. putting off you putting on accolades or macaron.

  350. Kanan respects amata because they they see as a godly person.

  351. It flatters the name. It flatters the ego of a

  352. believer actually then in an unbeliever la Luna pero it is

  353. the temptation there. So to put off young sin and

  354. younger. And what James is trying to make

  355. them understand is that they are acting foolishly because those

  356. are worldly wisdom. So corporate life bookcase kaapu

  357. talagang dog eat dog nangyare. It's because people want the

  358. same thing. They want money that would

  359. support their family. And that would be something that

  360. I would say while it is God-given, okay, but the root of

  361. all evil is the love of that money, the converting of that,

  362. and it is perfectly understandable.

  363. Nakapag Canasa corporate world because Holy Spirit and wisdom.

  364. Now Word of God pero Magtataka church in Walakum way to explain

  365. that except because they are following the patterns of this

  366. world, it would be lamentable if a church will be run like a

  367. corporate office or run as if it is a corporate corporate thing.

  368. Because you and because you, my elders, CEOs of these companies,

  369. they are managers and that's why they, they, they run a tight

  370. ship. OK, fine, they may be running a

  371. tight ship, but that is not what the Church of God is all about.

  372. The Church of God is all about this.

  373. Men will be able to kill sin and help others kill them as well.

  374. And that is what the leadership of the church is all about,

  375. because when when the Violet part of opposing God happens,

  376. then sin openly happens in the church.

  377. And that would expose in the hearts of the hearts of the

  378. people that they are indeed sinners, and the remaining sin

  379. is still there. Kumbaga you young covetousness

  380. or young lass Nanasaheb eventually lalabas denian Yamaha

  381. pilipino walang Li hem na Hindi ohh no Mulaza district engineer

  382. Hongsa Lima are you there? You know exactly including Jan.

  383. So it looks to be it is possible for us to to hide this sins, but

  384. once it becomes public, lying, cheating, killing are all

  385. external things the wisdom of scripture dictates.

  386. Bacopa Maulian shirako nangyayari naan saka illa illa

  387. liman. OK, you get no corruption

  388. problem, Anna Tennis always from within.

  389. OK, Because contrary to Rome. OK, A lot of us still thinks

  390. that sinless perfection is attainable, only thinkable.

  391. I'm not saying that you do not subscribe to the Calvinistic

  392. doctrine. That scene remains the very

  393. idea. Combative Kaparin nagwawala is

  394. primarily because you still have this dream, mean notion or a

  395. fantasy that you can still attain sinless perfection in

  396. this life and your young reading notice alerts.

  397. They canina gates that OK pero because it has been conditioned

  398. upon something the Malians are then that in itself still needs

  399. to also be mortified because as believers, as reform believers,

  400. we believe that regenerate ones are always simultaneously sane

  401. and Sinner. Misaka saying is if not and

  402. simultaneously St. and Sinner such justification

  403. sanctification. Abby nagging, saying Nah now at

  404. the end. At the end then, yeah, being

  405. reformed heaven and what happened reformed heaven Kapatid

  406. and this side of the of this side of heaven.

  407. Wala. There's really no perfection

  408. here. That's why verse 3 gave us some

  409. wisdom. So the first wisdom Kanina, the

  410. only way you should be able to at least one way or the other

  411. tackle big since is you have to daily deal with it on the on a

  412. desire level, on a mortification on a daily level, and that

  679. Public repentance should cause given the opportunity.

  680. All right, so that is why in the end, humility in the relation to

  681. God is what needs to be restored because that's the only time

  682. worldliness is cured. Worldliness is only cured when

  683. we are able to acknowledge that our relationship to God alone

  684. must be the very first priority when we sin.

  685. It is not something that we would neglect.

  689. Yeah, and that's sad because couple then it meant no well at

  690. the Lagan importance you kanyang.

  691. And this is what we are trying to question here, because if

  692. you've been reconciled to God through faith, OK, how come we

  693. doubt that we cannot be restored to him by faith as well when we

  694. sin? Because we know that while

  695. uncleanliness will not affect us, our justified status before

  696. God, but sin when it is left mortified will definitely

  697. disturb our peace and our conscious before God and at the

  698. same time affects our effectiveness in the ministry to

  699. others. Gap will means then the only way

  700. for us to be actually Lalabas. It's watching and praying and

  701. then repentance. And that would be on the

  702. category of mortifying. The only positive way for us to

  703. be able to truly know if we are really on the path of

  704. sanctification is when we know that we are able now to help

  705. others. Know about these things and

  706. counsel them when these things happen to them.

  707. And that's the only way for us to say, OK, loving others is

  708. something that is truly happening in the church, Pagmata

  709. Church, which is Indianapolis. Things have been reform to

  710. Tobago, Chapati, Lomana, Pocoyo. Ohh white Church in the greater

  713. you Yeah comma majority partner thinks of sanctification and the

  714. only way you'll be able to demonstrate that is how well

  715. you'll be able to care for one another and nurture one another

  716. in the faith that is happening in the church.

  717. And like I said, um we will never be able to test this until

  718. such time limit. Casala pero Kapaga Nagar is in

  719. Shirako Nayang failure Newton mortify Nangyari by bargain

  720. Nangyari and Paka box app. No matter.

  721. So let us make sure that the goal of loving one another,

  722. loving others is not something that we want because it it gives

  723. us, you know, a budge mark that we are now truly reformed.

  724. If we're not doing the the mortification, then none of that

  725. matters. But let me, let me encourage

  726. you, let me encourage you, that through religion worship God,

  727. but at the same time they love one another.

  728. That Christians show their love to God by loving others.

  729. And this is the law of love that James instructs us to love

  730. others as ourselves, meaning we love them by our whole being.

  731. And the problem there is someone has to be loving others but at

  732. the same time mortifying their own sense so that they can love

  733. others. OK, adding loving others while

  734. long mortification than Hungary, okay.

  735. So that's why we have to focus on that.

  736. We have to say OK, but genuine love, one with one another, then

  737. someone is doing the work of sanctification.

  738. Someone is mortifying their sin. So let me say that we cannot, we

  739. cannot confess that we love God and yet we do not love our own

  740. Labour neighbors. We say that we love them them,

  741. but we do not give them what they need as council, but

  742. instead we we simply tolerate a kind of formalism.
