655.698975 | 657.73999 | That's the theme of this passage. | SPEAKER_02 |
657.820007 | 659.23999 | Keep the light on. | SPEAKER_02 |
659.440979 | 660.520996 | You're the light of the world. | SPEAKER_02 |
661.421997 | 662.541992 | You're children of the light. | SPEAKER_02 |
662.60199 | 665.643982 | So walk in a manner worthy of your calling. | SPEAKER_02 |
666.004028 | 666.664001 | Follow along. | SPEAKER_02 |
666.703979 | 670.245972 | I'm reading from the New King James translation of Holy Scripture. | SPEAKER_02 |
671.416992 | 678.364014 | For you were once darkness, and now you are light in the Lord. | SPEAKER_02 |
679.203979 | 681.166016 | Walk as children of light. | SPEAKER_02 |
682.267029 | 689.734009 | For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth, finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. | SPEAKER_02 |
690.755005 | 694.838989 | And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. | SPEAKER_02 |
696.020996 | 717.849976 | but rather expose them for it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret but all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light for whatever makes manifest is light therefore he says awake you who sleep arise from the dead | SPEAKER_02 |
718.663025 | 720.903992 | And Christ will give you light. | SPEAKER_02 |
721.924011 | 727.687012 | If you read church history, there was a group of missionaries known as the one-way missionaries. | SPEAKER_02 |
729.247986 | 731.348999 | One of those men was A.W. | SPEAKER_02 |
731.408997 | 738.59198 | Milne, a Scottish Presbyterian, who decided that God had called him to a group of islands that would be named the New Hebrides. | SPEAKER_02 |
739.132019 | 741.513 | These islands were located in the South Pacific. | SPEAKER_02 |
742.252991 | 746.094971 | These were islands void of the gospel, dangerous islands. | SPEAKER_02 |
746.495972 | 751.539978 | There was some cannibalism still very much alive in those communities. | SPEAKER_02 |
752.741028 | 753.382019 | And A.W. | SPEAKER_02 |
753.401978 | 756.083984 | Milne decided to go there from his native Scotland. | SPEAKER_02 |
756.143982 | 758.406006 | He became a one-way missionary. | SPEAKER_02 |
758.885986 | 765.952026 | These were men and women who decided to go to some of the darkest, toughest spots on God's earth to bring the light of the gospel. | SPEAKER_02 |
766.752991 | 770.716003 | They were known as one-way missionaries because there was a chance they would never come home. | SPEAKER_02 |
771.396973 | 772.39801 | In fact, to prove that... | SPEAKER_02 |
773.098022 | 784.242004 | When they left their native shores anywhere in the world to go to a certain place to bring the gospel and fulfill the Great Commission, they packed all their earthly belongings in a coffin. | SPEAKER_02 |
785.262024 | 789.723999 | They took their own coffins with them because they expected to be buried on the field. | SPEAKER_02 |
789.744019 | 790.984009 | Isn't that amazing? | SPEAKER_02 |
791.604004 | 792.203979 | Challenging. | SPEAKER_02 |
792.945007 | 793.304993 | A.W. | SPEAKER_02 |
793.344971 | 795.424988 | Milne was one of those one-way missionaries. | SPEAKER_02 |
795.445007 | 796.226013 | You can read about him. | SPEAKER_02 |
797.265991 | 800.067017 | And when he came to one of these islands in the South Pacific, | SPEAKER_02 |
801.351013 | 804.231995 | He left behind a legacy of gospel witness. | SPEAKER_02 |
805.072021 | 806.291992 | And he was buried there. | SPEAKER_02 |
806.312012 | 809.252991 | And his epitaph reads like this. | SPEAKER_02 |
809.734009 | 812.533997 | When he came, there was no light. | SPEAKER_02 |
813.934998 | 816.796021 | When he left, there was no darkness. | SPEAKER_02 |
816.815979 | 818.455994 | Isn't that beautiful? | SPEAKER_02 |
819.476013 | 820.856995 | What a beautiful epitaph. | SPEAKER_02 |
821.416992 | 823.357971 | I envy that epitaph, don't you? | SPEAKER_02 |
824.138 | 828.018982 | Don't you want something close to that to be written about you and me? | SPEAKER_02 |
829.963013 | 838.60498 | Here's a man who punched holes in the spiritual darkness of the South Pacific where he flooded his life contacts with gospel light. | SPEAKER_02 |
840.085999 | 850.968994 | Here's a man who left Scotland for the New Hebrides so that he could bring God near and the knowledge of Jesus close to those he met. | SPEAKER_02 |
852.429016 | 857.710999 | Here was a man who burned brightly for God in the shadow lands of this world. | SPEAKER_02 |
858.812012 | 861.893005 | a lamplighter for gospel truth. | SPEAKER_02 |
862.853027 | 864.294006 | And what He was, we must be. | SPEAKER_02 |
865.833984 | 869.734985 | And as we look at Ephesians 5, 8 to 14, we're going to see that. | SPEAKER_02 |
870.474976 | 875.577026 | Because as Christians, we're called to be light in a dark world. | SPEAKER_02 |
876.497009 | 882.179016 | As disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, our every step needs to light a path to God. | SPEAKER_02 |
883.273987 | 888.778015 | to bring hope, to offer peace, to promise life in Christ. | SPEAKER_02 |
889.578003 | 903.528015 | Let's remind ourselves, beyond what our physical eyes see, let us remind ourselves from a spiritual perspective that people all around us, those nearest and dearest to us, sit in sin's dark night. | SPEAKER_02 |
905.189026 | 906.690002 | They're fumbling their way through life. | SPEAKER_02 |
907.929993 | 908.651001 | They're without hope. | SPEAKER_02 |
908.671021 | 909.651978 | They're without God. | SPEAKER_02 |
909.85199 | 917.481018 | And it's our job and our joy as the church to illuminate Christ to them and radiate God's love to them. | SPEAKER_02 |
918.742004 | 920.244019 | It's urgent that we do that, isn't it? | SPEAKER_02 |
921.344971 | 923.567017 | We're watching darkness replace light. | SPEAKER_02 |
924.968994 | 925.969971 | Some years ago, R.C. | SPEAKER_02 |
926.01001 | 929.114014 | Sproul said at a conference I was at that | SPEAKER_02 |
930.085999 | 937.875 | He visited Geneva and there was a wall that had been erected in memory of the Reformation and the benefits that the Reformation had brought to Europe. | SPEAKER_02 |
938.315979 | 945.604004 | And there was some of the reformers were etched on this wall and these words were etched about what they did and what the Reformation brought. | SPEAKER_02 |
945.843994 | 948.66803 | And the words were these, after the darkness light. | SPEAKER_02 |
950.083008 | 962.705017 | That's what the Reformation brought, a broad gospel light in the medieval darkness and the reign of the Catholic Church and reminded men that they're saved by faith alone in Christ alone, by the grace of God alone, for the glory of God alone. | SPEAKER_02 |
963.905029 | 971.906982 | But Sproul then turned that inscription on its head and he said, if you look at Europe today, you might as well write after the light darkness. | SPEAKER_02 |
973.247009 | 977.547974 | The Western world is throwing off the Christian Judeo worldview. | SPEAKER_02 |
977.588013 | 979.288025 | It's turning it back on the gospel. | SPEAKER_02 |
980.52301 | 988.390015 | that brought freedom politically and spiritually, that brought economic progress after the light, the darkness. | SPEAKER_02 |
989.671021 | 990.85199 | Look out on our world. | SPEAKER_02 |
991.872009 | 996.015991 | A Christian worldview is being replaced by a secular and nihilistic worldview. | SPEAKER_02 |
997.017029 | 998.557983 | Life is being devalued. | SPEAKER_02 |
998.617981 | 1,002.000977 | Look at the abortion debate and the advocacy for euthanasia. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,003.041016 | 1,004.760986 | Morals are being rethought. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,004.841003 | 1,006.882019 | Marriage is being redefined. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,006.942017 | 1,008.481995 | Gender now is a question. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,009.08197 | 1,011.062012 | Self is being deified. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,012.083008 | 1,014.562988 | Men love themselves rather than God. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,015.682983 | 1,017.083984 | Purpose is being lost. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,017.544006 | 1,022.484985 | Suicide is on the rise because death is embraced as better than life. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,023.724976 | 1,027.405029 | And we could go on after the light, the darkness. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,029.06604 | 1,029.80603 | But what are we to do? | SPEAKER_02 |
1,030.938965 | 1,031.73999 | I'll tell you what we're to do. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,031.76001 | 1,033.401001 | We're to punch holes in the darkness. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,035.062012 | 1,037.223022 | We're to light a candle of gospel witness. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,038.384033 | 1,042.345947 | And so let's come and look at this passage that encourages us to do that. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,043.406982 | 1,051.112061 | I think it's so tempting in today's world and in the cultural kind of deterioration that we're witnessing to kind of just curse the darkness. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,052.473022 | 1,054.17395 | I find myself tempted in doing that. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,055.890991 | 1,060.31604 | But I think it was Eleanor Roosevelt who said, better to light a candle than curse the darkness. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,061.477051 | 1,070.225952 | So while there's much to be discouraged about, much to be frightened about, we're not going to spend our days cursing the darkness. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,070.245972 | 1,072.588013 | We're going to light some gospel candles. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,072.608032 | 1,079.094971 | We're going to let our life be a light for Jesus Christ and bring hope. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,080.831055 | 1,083.874023 | where there is despair and bring light where there is darkness. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,084.295044 | 1,086.457031 | Where are we in the book of Ephesians? | SPEAKER_02 |
1,086.597046 | 1,092.44397 | Well, we're continuing to kind of pick up what Paul encouraged them to do in Ephesians 4 verse 1. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,093.024048 | 1,093.704956 | He says, you know what? | SPEAKER_02 |
1,093.744995 | 1,095.646973 | I want you to walk worthy of the gospel. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,095.666992 | 1,097.609009 | I want you to walk worthy of your calling. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,098.51001 | 1,102.631958 | I want your steps to be in step with God's will for the Christian. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,102.952026 | 1,111.175049 | And throughout these chapters, he talks about walking in unity, walking in purity, walking in our new self in Jesus Christ. | SPEAKER_02 |
1,111.935059 | 1,116.276978 | He tells us in verse 17 to walk no longer as the rest of the Gentiles. | SPEAKER_02 |
