115 00:09:54.700 --> 00:09:56.620 Elevate them too quickly. 116 00:09:56.620 --> 00:09:58.500 We can't handle it. 117 00:09:58.500 --> 00:10:04.100 There is a deconstruction that according to the Bible is underway and that deconstruction 118 00:10:04.100 --> 00:10:07.740 is of morality, morality. 119 00:10:07.740 --> 00:10:11.420 People don't like to hear that word, morality. 120 00:10:11.420 --> 00:10:14.460 People often say you cannot legislate morality, have you ever heard that? 121 00:10:14.460 --> 00:10:17.060 You need to mind your own business. 122 00:10:17.060 --> 00:10:21.140 You can be a Christian, but you stay in church, but when you come out of the church, you 123 00:10:21.140 --> 00:10:24.460 better not vote and you better not go to the public square and you better not go to 124 00:10:24.460 --> 00:10:28.940 the school board meeting because you can't legislate morality. 125 00:10:28.940 --> 00:10:35.460 You've all heard that, but that is honestly one of the most disingenuous and false statements 126 00:10:35.460 --> 00:10:36.620 that someone could ever hear. 127 00:10:36.620 --> 00:10:41.020 Now, I'm going to tell you the reason why. 128 00:10:41.020 --> 00:10:51.500 If I take a car and I go 100 miles an hour in a school zone, is that immoral? 129 00:10:51.500 --> 00:10:54.100 It's absolutely immoral. 130 00:10:54.180 --> 00:10:55.580 How do you know? 131 00:10:55.580 --> 00:11:02.020 Because the speed limits posted in the schools on morality. 132 00:11:02.020 --> 00:11:06.340 According to God's word, there's going to be a deconstruction of morality. 133 00:11:06.340 --> 00:11:12.460 Look at verse 26, for this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. 134 00:11:12.460 --> 00:11:16.380 That there's a people group and there's conduct and there's actions that eventually God 135 00:11:16.380 --> 00:11:19.460 says He gives them up. 136 00:11:19.460 --> 00:11:22.140 And the Bible that hears this for this reason. 137 00:11:22.140 --> 00:11:27.700 The word reason means as a statement of fact, it's beautiful, it's sad, it's terrifying, 138 00:11:27.700 --> 00:11:31.180 but it's beautiful, it's pure, but it's terrifying. 139 00:11:31.180 --> 00:11:37.260 God says, listen, God says, here's the reason why I have to give them up. 140 00:11:37.260 --> 00:11:45.580 Translation, Jack, they gave me every bit of argument to give them up. 141 00:11:45.580 --> 00:11:48.460 God is saying I didn't want to give them up. 142 00:11:48.460 --> 00:11:51.420 They made me give them up. 143 00:11:51.420 --> 00:11:52.420 You need to remember that. 144 00:11:52.420 --> 00:11:57.780 God is not willing that anyone perish and God is reaching out and God is calling and 145 00:11:57.780 --> 00:12:01.740 God is crying out and he extends salvation and hope. 146 00:12:01.740 --> 00:12:09.300 But for this reason, the statement of fact, these things being true, the word means preconditions. 147 00:12:09.300 --> 00:12:13.100 It means that what has happened and what is about to happen. 148 00:12:13.100 --> 00:12:15.820 It's based on an action, but it's not God's action. 149 00:12:15.820 --> 00:12:22.340 He's responding for this reason and God brings His judgment. 150 00:12:22.340 --> 00:12:23.820 And He says He gives them up. 151 00:12:23.820 --> 00:12:25.780 The word up means He hands them over. 152 00:12:25.780 --> 00:12:29.060 Oh my goodness, Church, this is terrifying. 153 00:12:29.060 --> 00:12:35.660 The word means that He gives them up to what they ultimately want. 154 00:12:35.660 --> 00:12:37.340 You know how your kids, you know this. 155 00:12:37.340 --> 00:12:42.140 We've all done it, some of us still do it, our kids do it all the time. 156 00:12:42.380 --> 00:12:43.380 Mommy can have a cookie. 157 00:12:43.380 --> 00:12:46.340 I want just one more cookie, Mommy, please, I want a cookie, I want a cookie, you know how 158 00:12:46.340 --> 00:12:47.340 to get it?
