And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.” Romans 7:15-20 (22:34) “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4 (26:51) Hedonism (35:07) “Even if I am untrained in speaking, I am not so in knowledge; in every way we have made this plain to you in all things. Did I make a mistake when I humbled myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you without charge? I plundered other churches by accepting from them in order to minister to you. And when I was with you and in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way “ 2 Corinthians 11:6-9 (58:40) Fr. Dave’s talk (1:01:52) Wild Goose Ministry (1:03:46) 4PM Media (1:04:07) “and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us” Romans 5:5 Special Guest: Fr. Dave Pivonka, TOR.
