Chandler moralistic deism won't get you home

and so now it's the last statement here that that really causes a lot of problems for people so you got Jesus is the way the truth and the life he's leading us home but then you got this crazy statement right no one comes to the Father no one gets home except through me and so if you're not a Christian or you haven't been around Christians Launcher in this moment maybe you're thinking brother you can't be serious this 2016 men you still think in kind of that backwoods a if it's not Jesus there's no other way but Jesus surely you don't believe that I mean yeah I just can't believe that that a guy in 2016 would boldly preach something so absurd in a church this low you really telling me over half the world's population is it ever gonna get home yeah I believe that and let me try to explain why I believe that because I think if I can lay my case before you you would see why we would believe that the world's major religions are all built on the antithesis of what the Christian religion is built out of and here's what I mean by that at the center of the most of the world's religions is what's called moralistic deism be good enough to be accepted by this God but here's the list of things that if I do these things this God will accept me that that that's Islam that's Judaism right that's if you'll just do these things then God will accept you in now what does that do that forces us back to self righteousness it forces us to try to forge a righteousness of our own and when you do that you have no choice but to live a duplicitous life let me give you a stunning example the radical Muslims that flew the plane into the towers on 9/11 do you know what they did on 910 they stayed in hotels in Boston and in New York and you know what they did that night they rented pornography the receipts from those hotel rooms so here's the most radicalized Muslims imaginable who are so dedicated to earn the of their God that they're gonna kill thousands of people the next day and they spend their last night on earth ordering expensive meals and watching porn in seedy hotel rooms you see the duplicity there when the Navy SEALs crashed into Osama's compound and they pulled all the computer you knows littered throughout some of those vile disgusting pornography imaginable you see the disjoint let me project radical dedication what's in the background seedy wickedness because look at me I love you and I'm saying you're terrible at being good you just are you're terrible at it so the way we usually play this game if you're a guest is we play the Ten Commandment pop quiz so here's what I mean about that not like oh don't start stressing right now so let me go ten commandments if he calls on me I'm gonna nail it no no here's I'm not gonna ask you to list them but but I will just say this when I was a kindergartener five years old in the Bay Area the Ten Commandments hung on the wall in my school which means they thought in the Bay Area that a five-year-old would get these things so let's just sorry they're not complex ethics right they're not like I don't know you know it it's just straightforward morality right so let's take the quiz real quick um do you love things with more dedication and more fervor than you love God you don't have to answer I know it yes you do so do I are you guilty of taking the Lord's name in vain that has nothing to do with cussing I don't I think that was co-opted by parents a long time ago that's not that means that we would treat the name of God lightly and so maybe that can fit in that category but it's more like indifference towards God a lack of reverence for God so that's absolutely true about every one of us and look I I know you're not a liar you just lie sometimes it's cool you're not a liar just every once a while you lie and yet emitted at Ultra maybe but your heart surface with lust maybe hadn't murdered anybody but your hearts filled with anger you at times get really frustrated when good things happen to people you don't think good things should happen to and you love it when bad things happen to people you think deserve them that's called coveting that puts you in the position of God to judge others right look we could just keep going my point is this you make a zero and God is not into the self esteem moving he's not gonna let you take it again next week with open notes this time right you are going to over and over and over again fail this test and here's why because the Ten Commandments were not given to you because you were gonna be able to obey them but to show you at the very base level you would never be able to and so the reason here Jesus can say moralistic deism cannot get you home is because the human heart cannot rest in any righteousness other than an alien righteousness that's better than its own so you get to rest when Jesus pays my bill and I don't know I get to rest and if you think that means we don't strive for holiness you're not hearing that right because the Spirit of God when in the invades this space begins to compel us towards obedience in fact the objective evidence of being born again is a desire to be obedient imperfectly executed because I had met the brother yet they would try to argue that he's perfectly executing obedience to God we don't perfectly Christ perfectly that's why he's the way the truth and the life
