1
00:00:14,529 --> 00:00:20,448
If you could, in a real compact form,

2
00:00:20,448 --> 00:00:22,781
what have you learned from Jay Adams

3
00:00:22,781 --> 00:00:28,057
concerning depression?

4
00:00:28,057 --> 00:00:30,945
Paul: The question is what have I learned

5
00:00:30,945 --> 00:00:35,439
from Jay Adams concerning depression?

6
00:00:35,439 --> 00:00:38,589
And that is, I guess the greatest thing

7
00:00:38,589 --> 00:00:42,542
would be this:

8
00:00:42,542 --> 00:00:45,025
that to be able to discern

9
00:00:45,025 --> 00:00:47,570
when I am believing a lie -

10
00:00:47,570 --> 00:00:49,571
believing something that is not true,

11
00:00:49,571 --> 00:00:51,962
that does not conform to God's Word -

12
00:00:51,962 --> 00:00:53,485
and then to preach.

13
00:00:53,485 --> 00:00:56,286
Instead of letting my heart preach to me,

14
00:00:56,286 --> 00:00:59,560
that I ought to preach 
God's Word to my heart

15
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,619
and stand on the realities of God's Word

16
00:01:02,619 --> 00:01:05,844
rather than on feelings.

17
00:01:05,844 --> 00:01:08,393
Another thing that I think 
has been very helpful

18
00:01:08,393 --> 00:01:12,929
is that so many things that would cause us

19
00:01:12,929 --> 00:01:17,064
to pity and coddle a man,

20
00:01:17,064 --> 00:01:24,412
instead, the man should be rebuked

21
00:01:24,412 --> 00:01:26,849
because he's believing a lie.

22
00:01:26,849 --> 00:01:30,532
So many things that seem to be

23
00:01:30,532 --> 00:01:33,659
where we treat 
ourselves as pitiful victims

24
00:01:33,659 --> 00:01:36,740
when in actuality, we're guilty criminals.

25
00:01:36,740 --> 00:01:38,811
And just facing that.

26
00:01:38,811 --> 00:01:40,623
Facing that with the Word of God

27
00:01:40,623 --> 00:01:41,919
and repenting.

28
00:01:41,919 --> 00:01:44,281
Another thing I think is very, very good

29
00:01:44,281 --> 00:01:48,873
is that it is not enough to say no

30
00:01:48,873 --> 00:01:51,877
to the flesh;

31
00:01:51,877 --> 00:01:54,871
to say no to an evil practice,

32
00:01:54,871 --> 00:01:58,857
but to substitute that evil practice

33
00:01:58,857 --> 00:02:02,830
with the doing of good, with virtue.

34
00:02:02,830 --> 00:02:05,145
It's not just putting off,

35
00:02:05,145 --> 00:02:07,163
but it's putting on.

36
00:02:07,163 --> 00:02:10,428
And much of that has 
been very, very helpful.

37
00:02:10,428 --> 00:02:12,484
Very helpful.
