Title: A Conscience Led by the Word of God Alone
Meta: Believing in the sufficiency of Scripture not only means that you say all the Scripture says, but that you don’t say what the Scripture doesn’t say.  Because if God shuts his mouth, He knows what He’s doing.

Listen to me:

2
00:00:03,490 --> 00:00:07,710
believing in the sufficiency of Scripture;

3
00:00:07,710 --> 00:00:12,790
that's the doctrine that scripture is enough to lead us into all godliness.

4
00:00:12,790 --> 00:00:14,459
Believing in the sufficiency of Scripture

5
00:00:14,459 --> 00:00:20,420
not only means that you say all the scripture says,

6
00:00:20,420 --> 00:00:22,569
but that you don't say

7
00:00:22,569 --> 00:00:25,790
what the scripture doesn't say.

8
00:00:25,790 --> 00:00:31,550
Because if God shuts his mouth He knows what He's doing.

9
00:00:31,550 --> 00:00:35,680
And what happens when you pair down godliness to those basic things.

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,070
Is you get a gospel that can take the planet by storm

11
00:00:39,070 --> 00:00:42,660
instead of getting caught up in your cultural baggage.

12
00:00:42,660 --> 00:00:46,080
You wind up with a gospel that can go to every single part of the planet,

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,830
not wrapped in American clothes,

14
00:00:47,830 --> 00:00:49,460
or Victorian english clothes,

15
00:00:49,460 --> 00:00:52,140
but wrapped in the clothes of Christ,

16
00:00:52,140 --> 00:00:54,930
bringing people to the essence of godliness.

17
00:00:54,930 --> 00:00:55,710
Love your wife!

18
00:00:55,710 --> 00:00:56,300
How do you do it?

19
00:00:56,300 --> 00:00:57,370
“Well, we do a date night.”

20
00:00:57,370 --> 00:01:02,340
“Oh yeah we don't, but I love her too.”

21
00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:04,169
Which one of us is Godlier?

22
00:01:04,169 --> 00:01:06,960
That's not the point!

23
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:15,200
A good conscience is one that is led by the word of God alone!

24
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,130
And it's not a little holier to add to it.

25
00:01:19,130 --> 00:01:21,229
It's demonic!

26
00:01:21,229 --> 00:01:23,420
And it racks people's souls,

27
00:01:23,420 --> 00:01:25,039
and it eats their consciences up!

28
00:01:25,039 --> 00:01:26,850
And it steals their joy

29
00:01:26,850 --> 00:01:30,490
from loving the pure sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ.

30
00:01:30,490 --> 00:01:32,530
It's not a joke!

31
00:01:32,530 --> 00:01:34,270
We've got people are so serious

32
00:01:34,270 --> 00:01:37,969
about not being worldly in the drugs and alcohol way,

33
00:01:37,969 --> 00:01:43,009
but who love to flirt with worldliness in the legalism way.

34
00:01:43,009 --> 00:01:45,579
Deadly!
