00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.439
For<00:01:49.260><c> she</c><00:01:49.519><c> came</c><00:01:49.760><c> from</c><00:01:50.000><c> the</c><00:01:50.519><c> uttermost</c><00:01:51.079><c> parts</c><00:01:51.420><c> of</c><00:01:51.620><c> the</c><00:01:51.760><c> earth</c><00:01:52.099><c> to</c>

00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:18.659
And<00:02:16.120><c> there</c><00:02:16.259><c> have</c><00:02:16.340><c> never</c><00:02:16.560><c> been</c><00:02:16.800><c> any</c><00:02:17.120><c> as</c><00:02:17.479><c> wise</c><00:02:17.780><c> either</c><00:02:18.159><c> before</c>

00:02:24.020 --> 00:02:27.879
So<00:02:24.319><c> I</c><00:02:24.439><c> feel</c><00:02:24.639><c> that</c><00:02:24.840><c> we</c><00:02:24.979><c> can</c><00:02:25.180><c> rest</c><00:02:25.379><c> absolutely</c><00:02:25.979><c> assured</c><00:02:26.360><c> that</c><00:02:26.599><c> the</c><00:02:26.860><c> authorship</c><00:02:27.199><c> is</c>

00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:11.099
And<00:03:06.000><c> thirdly,</c><00:03:07.060><c> we</c><00:03:07.300><c> should</c><00:03:07.539><c> seek</c><00:03:07.800><c> to</c><00:03:08.099><c> serve</c><00:03:08.319><c> God</c><00:03:08.840><c> from</c><00:03:09.639><c> our</c><00:03:10.199><c> youth.</c>

00:03:11.460 --> 00:03:14.240
You<00:03:11.560><c> know,</c><00:03:11.840><c> there</c><00:03:12.020><c> sometimes</c><00:03:12.580><c> is</c><00:03:12.860><c> a</c><00:03:13.020><c> feeling,</c><00:03:13.400><c> or</c><00:03:13.659><c> has</c><00:03:13.919><c> been,</c>

00:03:14.379 --> 00:03:16.539
with<00:03:14.500><c> people,</c><00:03:15.560><c> I'll</c><00:03:15.939><c> think</c><00:03:16.099><c> of</c><00:03:16.219><c> the</c><00:03:16.379><c> truth</c>

00:03:16.539 --> 00:03:17.120
later<00:03:16.840><c> on.</c>

00:03:17.219 --> 00:03:19.539
I'll<00:03:17.699><c> do</c><00:03:17.919><c> this,</c><00:03:18.259><c> and</c><00:03:18.340><c> I'll</c><00:03:18.419><c> do</c><00:03:18.639><c> that,</c><00:03:18.860><c> and</c><00:03:18.939><c> I'll</c><00:03:19.120><c> get</c><00:03:19.280><c> married,</c>

00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:20.460
and<00:03:19.639><c> I'll</c><00:03:19.800><c> do</c><00:03:19.979><c> so</c><00:03:20.139><c> and</c><00:03:20.219><c> so,</c><00:03:20.319><c> and</c><00:03:20.379><c> then</c>

00:03:20.460 --> 00:03:22.500
I'll<00:03:20.659><c> think</c><00:03:20.780><c> of</c><00:03:20.900><c> the</c><00:03:21.060><c> truth</c><00:03:21.180><c> later</c><00:03:21.500><c> on.</c>

00:03:22.659 --> 00:03:25.319
Well,<00:03:23.400><c> that's</c><00:03:23.719><c> not</c><00:03:23.879><c> the</c><00:03:24.020><c> advice</c><00:03:24.300><c> of</c><00:03:24.580><c> Solomon.</c>

00:03:25.620 --> 00:03:31.280
Solomon's<00:03:26.340><c> advice</c><00:03:26.659><c> is</c><00:03:27.560><c> to</c><00:03:28.340><c> take</c><00:03:28.840><c> the</c><00:03:29.099><c> yoke</c><00:03:29.599><c> early</c><00:03:30.219><c> in</c><00:03:30.740><c> life.</c>

00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:36.500
There<00:03:31.819><c> is</c><00:03:32.039><c> no</c><00:03:32.319><c> time</c><00:03:32.599><c> like</c><00:03:33.180><c> our</c><00:03:33.680><c> youth</c><00:03:34.099><c> in</c><00:03:34.539><c> which</c><00:03:34.819><c> to</c><00:03:35.120><c> serve</c><00:03:35.319><c> God.</c>

00:03:38.060 --> 00:03:41.340
So<00:03:38.280><c> then</c><00:03:38.460><c> we</c><00:03:38.599><c> want</c><00:03:38.780><c> to</c><00:03:38.979><c> practice</c><00:03:39.379><c> generosity</c><00:03:40.259><c> in</c><00:03:40.979><c> temporal</c>

00:03:41.340 --> 00:03:43.319

00:03:43.979 --> 00:03:48.879
We<00:03:44.500><c> want</c><00:03:44.699><c> to</c><00:03:44.900><c> practice</c><00:03:45.259><c> faith</c><00:03:45.560><c> in</c><00:03:45.840><c> God,</c><00:03:46.599><c> and</c><00:03:48.159><c> we</c><00:03:48.340><c> want</c><00:03:48.520><c> to</c><00:03:48.699><c> have</c>

00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:52.000
discretion<00:03:49.580><c> in</c><00:03:50.520><c> youthful</c><00:03:50.979><c> activities.</c>

00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:57.060
We<00:03:52.879><c> do</c><00:03:53.120><c> not</c><00:03:53.319><c> want</c><00:03:53.520><c> in</c><00:03:53.680><c> any</c><00:03:53.960><c> way</c><00:03:54.319><c> to</c><00:03:55.280><c> either</c><00:03:55.639><c> discredit</c><00:03:56.340><c> or</c><00:03:56.819><c> to</c>

limit<00:03:57.539><c> youthful</c><00:03:58.180><c> activities,</c><00:03:59.159><c> but</c><00:03:59.719><c> as</c><00:04:00.740><c> he</c>

00:04:00.939 --> 00:04:05.979
says<00:04:01.159><c> elsewhere,</c><00:04:02.379><c> we</c><00:04:02.379><c> must</c><00:04:02.639><c> watch,</c><00:04:03.819><c> we</c><00:04:03.919><c> must</c><00:04:04.240><c> guard</c><00:04:04.560><c> our</c><00:04:04.879><c> steps,</c><00:04:05.900><c> we</c>

00:04:05.979 --> 00:04:08.680
must<00:04:06.439><c> guard</c><00:04:06.960><c> our</c><00:04:07.240><c> mouth,</c><00:04:08.240><c> and</c><00:04:08.500><c> we</c>

00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:12.080
must<00:04:08.919><c> at</c><00:04:09.139><c> all</c><00:04:09.379><c> times</c><00:04:09.939><c> conform</c><00:04:10.699><c> to</c><00:04:10.879><c> God's</c><00:04:11.280><c> will.</c>

00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:15.159
So<00:04:12.840><c> the</c><00:04:13.000><c> first</c><00:04:13.259><c> verse</c><00:04:13.520><c> in</c><00:04:13.699><c> chapter</c><00:04:14.000><c> 11,</c>

00:04:15.219 --> 00:04:17.779
Cast<00:04:15.500><c> thy</c><00:04:15.719><c> bread</c><00:04:15.900><c> upon</c><00:04:16.180><c> the</c><00:04:16.439><c> waters,</c><00:04:16.879><c> for</c><00:04:17.019><c> thou</c><00:04:17.240><c> shalt</c><00:04:17.459><c> find</c>

00:04:17.779 --> 00:04:19.060
it<00:04:17.959><c> after</c><00:04:18.180><c> many</c><00:04:18.459><c> days.</c>

00:04:19.060 --> 00:04:22.560
He's<00:04:19.959><c> not</c><00:04:20.180><c> talking</c><00:04:20.519><c> of</c><00:04:20.779><c> literal</c><00:04:21.100><c> bread</c><00:04:21.439><c> and</c><00:04:21.639><c> literal</c><00:04:22.079><c> water.</c>

00:04:22.860 --> 00:04:27.439
He<00:04:23.319><c> is</c><00:04:23.600><c> talking</c><00:04:23.920><c> about</c><00:04:24.660><c> what</c><00:04:25.199><c> we</c><00:04:25.519><c> do</c><00:04:25.740><c> with</c><00:04:25.959><c> the</c><00:04:26.259><c> material</c><00:04:26.699><c> things</c><00:04:27.100><c> of</c>

00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:30.420
life<00:04:27.939><c> which</c><00:04:28.399><c> God</c><00:04:28.639><c> has</c><00:04:28.879><c> blessed</c><00:04:29.079><c> us</c><00:04:29.379><c> with.</c>

00:04:31.939 --> 00:04:39.339
If<00:04:32.220><c> we</c><00:04:33.120><c> freely</c><00:04:33.560><c> give</c><00:04:34.040><c> to</c><00:04:34.379><c> others,</c><00:04:36.259><c> and</c><00:04:36.399><c> more</c><00:04:36.819><c> particularly,</c><00:04:37.899><c> bread</c><00:04:38.100><c> here,</c><00:04:38.980><c> I</c>

00:04:42.699 --> 00:04:48.019
We<00:04:43.540><c> freely</c><00:04:44.379><c> cast</c><00:04:45.079><c> the</c><00:04:45.879><c> teaching</c><00:04:46.279><c> of</c><00:04:46.519><c> our</c><00:04:46.660><c> Lord</c><00:04:46.879><c> Jesus</c><00:04:47.319><c> Christ</c>

00:04:48.019 --> 00:04:51.459
and<00:04:49.300><c> the</c><00:04:49.779><c> instruction</c><00:04:50.220><c> of</c><00:04:50.459><c> Scripture</c><00:04:50.939><c> to</c>

00:04:51.459 --> 00:04:53.199
all<00:04:51.660><c> about</c><00:04:51.980><c> us.</c>

00:04:54.199 --> 00:04:58.920
It<00:04:54.339><c> is</c><00:04:54.839><c> like</c><00:04:55.279><c> casting</c><00:04:55.740><c> our</c><00:04:56.160><c> substance</c><00:04:56.920><c> upon</c><00:04:57.819><c> waters.</c>

00:04:59.459 --> 00:05:01.759
After<00:04:59.839><c> many</c><00:05:00.120><c> days</c><00:05:00.439><c> it</c><00:05:00.639><c> returns.</c>

00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:05.079
But<00:05:02.319><c> the</c><00:05:02.500><c> point</c><00:05:02.740><c> is</c><00:05:03.040><c> that</c><00:05:03.339><c> it's</c><00:05:03.759><c> like</c><00:05:04.040><c> sowing.</c>

00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:07.819
A<00:05:05.500><c> sower</c><00:05:05.800><c> went</c><00:05:06.160><c> forth</c><00:05:06.579><c> to</c><00:05:06.899><c> sow.</c>

00:05:09.139 --> 00:05:12.899
It's<00:05:09.720><c> not</c><00:05:09.720><c> the</c><00:05:09.959><c> sower</c><00:05:10.319><c> who</c><00:05:10.800><c> gives</c><00:05:11.040><c> the</c><00:05:11.279><c> increase,</c><00:05:11.819><c> it's</c><00:05:11.939><c> God.</c>

00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:17.660
And<00:05:13.660><c> we</c><00:05:13.920><c> have</c><00:05:14.199><c> to</c><00:05:14.920><c> sow</c><00:05:15.300><c> beside</c><00:05:16.060><c> all</c><00:05:16.600><c> waters.</c>

00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.800
Let's<00:05:18.579><c> have</c><00:05:18.720><c> a</c><00:05:18.759><c> look</c><00:05:18.879><c> at</c><00:05:19.079><c> Acts</c><00:05:19.300><c> chapter</c><00:05:19.600><c> 20</c><00:05:19.860><c> and</c><00:05:20.040><c> verse</c><00:05:20.259><c> 35.</c>

00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:41.980
Paul<00:05:37.920><c> says,</c><00:05:39.339><c> I</c><00:05:39.339><c> have</c><00:05:39.660><c> showed</c><00:05:39.860><c> you</c><00:05:40.120><c> all</c><00:05:40.379><c> things,</c><00:05:41.160><c> how</c><00:05:41.459><c> that</c><00:05:41.720><c> so</c>

00:05:41.980 --> 00:05:43.660
laboring<00:05:42.360><c> you</c><00:05:42.620><c> ought</c><00:05:42.740><c> to</c><00:05:42.980><c> support</c><00:05:43.399><c> the</c>

weak<00:05:43.879><c> and</c><00:05:44.300><c> to</c><00:05:44.579><c> remember</c><00:05:44.839><c> the</c><00:05:45.060><c> words</c><00:05:45.300><c> of</c><00:05:45.500><c> the</c><00:05:45.639><c> Lord</c><00:05:45.879><c> Jesus,</c><00:05:47.180><c> how</c>

00:05:47.459 --> 00:05:50.360
he<00:05:47.699><c> said,</c><00:05:49.060><c> it</c><00:05:49.279><c> is</c><00:05:49.480><c> more</c><00:05:49.759><c> blessed</c><00:05:50.040><c> to</c>

00:05:54.579 --> 00:05:58.379
Incidentally,<00:05:55.240><c> I</c><00:05:55.600><c> don't</c><00:05:55.959><c> know</c><00:05:56.180><c> that</c><00:05:56.319><c> you</c><00:05:56.480><c> can</c><00:05:56.720><c> find</c><00:05:56.959><c> that</c><00:05:57.240><c> quotation</c><00:05:57.720><c> in</c><00:05:58.040><c> Scripture.</c>

00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:02.779
It's<00:05:59.139><c> a</c><00:05:59.240><c> quotation</c><00:05:59.639><c> of</c><00:05:59.839><c> the</c><00:06:00.019><c> actual</c><00:06:00.300><c> words</c><00:06:00.660><c> of</c><00:06:00.879><c> Jesus,</c><00:06:02.240><c> but</c><00:06:02.560><c> I</c>

00:06:02.779 --> 00:06:04.259
cannot<00:06:02.959><c> find</c><00:06:03.259><c> in</c><00:06:03.500><c> Scripture</c><00:06:03.759><c> where</c><00:06:03.939><c> it</c><00:06:04.120><c> is.</c>

00:06:04.259 --> 00:06:08.220
So<00:06:04.500><c> if</c><00:06:04.720><c> anybody</c><00:06:05.040><c> knows</c><00:06:05.379><c> of</c><00:06:05.540><c> it,</c><00:06:05.639><c> I'd</c><00:06:05.939><c> like</c><00:06:06.079><c> to</c><00:06:06.399><c> find</c><00:06:06.680><c> out</c><00:06:06.980><c> from</c><00:06:07.180><c> them.</c>

bring<00:20:46.900><c> thee</c><00:20:47.099><c> into</c><00:20:47.319><c> judgment.</c>

00:20:48.220 --> 00:20:50.859
Consider<00:20:48.579><c> the</c><00:20:48.839><c> end,</c><00:20:49.380><c> and</c><00:20:49.440><c> know</c><00:20:49.740><c> this,</c><00:20:50.079><c> that</c><00:20:50.220><c> whatever</c><00:20:50.460><c> we</c><00:20:50.720><c> do</c>

00:20:50.859 --> 00:20:52.059
in<00:20:51.099><c> life,</c>

00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:55.339

00:21:06.599 --> 00:21:09.279
God,<00:21:08.039><c> are</c><00:21:08.339><c> emptiness.</c>

00:21:10.859 --> 00:21:14.940
And<00:21:11.079><c> so</c><00:21:11.220><c> many</c><00:21:11.519><c> people</c><00:21:12.339><c> choose</c><00:21:12.859><c> the</c><00:21:13.079><c> road</c><00:21:13.240><c> of</c><00:21:14.019><c> emptiness.</c>

00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.839
So<00:21:16.000><c> in</c><00:21:16.220><c> youth,</c><00:21:17.140><c> let's</c><00:21:17.420><c> enjoy</c><00:21:17.740><c> it.</c>

00:21:19.019 --> 00:21:21.619
Let's<00:21:19.319><c> help</c><00:21:19.539><c> our</c><00:21:19.819><c> children</c><00:21:20.119><c> to</c><00:21:20.440><c> enjoy</c><00:21:20.740><c> it.</c>

00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:26.180
But<00:21:22.119><c> let</c><00:21:22.299><c> us</c><00:21:22.519><c> also</c><00:21:22.900><c> warn</c><00:21:23.200><c> them</c><00:21:23.700><c> that</c><00:21:24.779><c> they</c><00:21:25.039><c> must</c><00:21:25.319><c> keep</c><00:21:25.779><c> their</c>

00:21:32.339 --> 00:21:35.519
Guard<00:21:32.700><c> themselves,</c><00:21:34.059><c> but</c><00:21:34.160><c> enjoy</c><00:21:34.500><c> life</c><00:21:34.819><c> by</c><00:21:35.119><c> all</c><00:21:35.319><c> means.</c>

00:21:35.619 --> 00:21:38.220
And<00:21:35.859><c> remember</c><00:21:36.279><c> that</c><00:21:36.660><c> it's</c><00:21:36.920><c> the</c><00:21:37.019><c> gift</c><00:21:37.240><c> of</c><00:21:37.480><c> God.</c>

00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:40.900
Let's<00:21:38.640><c> have</c><00:21:38.720><c> a</c><00:21:38.740><c> look</c><00:21:38.819><c> at</c><00:21:38.960><c> Romans</c><00:21:39.259><c> 14.</c>

00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:47.180
It's<00:21:44.460><c> no</c><00:21:44.619><c> surprise,</c><00:21:45.079><c> of</c><00:21:45.339><c> course,</c><00:21:45.559><c> that</c><00:21:45.960><c> we</c><00:21:46.339><c> find</c><00:21:46.559><c> these</c><00:21:46.839><c> sentiments</c>

00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:00.619
But<00:21:58.240><c> why</c><00:21:58.559><c> dost</c><00:21:58.759><c> thou</c><00:21:58.880><c> judge</c><00:21:59.259><c> thy</c><00:21:59.539><c> brother,</c><00:21:59.819><c> or</c><00:22:00.000><c> why</c><00:22:00.279><c> dost</c><00:22:00.440><c> thou</c>

00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:05.819
For<00:22:02.539><c> we</c><00:22:02.740><c> shall</c><00:22:02.880><c> all</c><00:22:03.140><c> stand</c><00:22:03.460><c> before</c><00:22:03.759><c> the</c><00:22:04.000><c> judgment</c><00:22:04.279><c> seat</c><00:22:04.480><c> of</c><00:22:04.660><c> Christ.</c>

00:22:05.900 --> 00:22:09.880
For<00:22:06.000><c> it</c><00:22:06.160><c> is</c><00:22:06.299><c> written,</c><00:22:07.400><c> As</c><00:22:07.519><c> I</c><00:22:07.759><c> live,</c><00:22:08.180><c> saith</c><00:22:08.200><c> the</c><00:22:08.440><c> Lord,</c><00:22:09.359><c> every</c>

00:22:15.980 --> 00:22:21.039

But<00:22:34.220><c> bear</c><00:22:34.359><c> this</c><00:22:34.599><c> in</c><00:22:34.859><c> mind.</c>

00:22:35.660 --> 00:22:40.200
We<00:22:35.859><c> shall</c><00:22:36.140><c> almost</c><00:22:36.680><c> certainly</c><00:22:37.400><c> answer</c><00:22:38.339><c> to</c><00:22:38.819><c> the</c><00:22:39.039><c> judge</c><00:22:39.380><c> in</c><00:22:40.000><c> the</c>

Consider<00:22:42.700><c> the</c><00:22:42.940><c> end.</c>

00:22:45.059 --> 00:22:49.680
And<00:22:45.819><c> now</c><00:22:46.019><c> we</c><00:22:46.200><c> move</c><00:22:46.359><c> into</c><00:22:46.640><c> the</c><00:22:47.859><c> twelfth</c><00:22:48.339><c> chapter,</c>

00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:33.240
It's<00:23:30.980><c> not</c><00:23:31.180><c> a</c><00:23:31.319><c> burden</c><00:23:31.480><c> after</c><00:23:31.900><c> all,</c><00:23:32.059><c> it's</c><00:23:32.299><c> a</c><00:23:32.420><c> pleasure.</c>

when<00:33:30.599><c> He</c><00:33:30.779><c> was</c><00:33:30.920><c> to</c><00:33:31.140><c> raise</c><00:33:31.440><c> that</c><00:33:31.640><c> little</c><00:33:31.920><c> girl</c>

00:33:32.259 --> 00:33:33.819
from<00:33:32.559><c> the</c><00:33:32.740><c> dead,</c>

00:33:34.200 --> 00:33:35.140
there<00:33:34.299><c> were</c><00:33:34.400><c> the</c><00:33:34.599><c> mourners</c>

00:33:35.140 --> 00:33:37.180
and<00:33:35.900><c> He</c><00:33:36.140><c> said,</c>

00:33:37.819 --> 00:33:39.420
She<00:33:38.099><c> sleepeth.</c>

00:33:39.500 --> 00:33:41.799
And<00:33:40.019><c> they</c><00:33:40.200><c> laughed</c><00:33:40.480><c> Him</c><00:33:40.720><c> to</c><00:33:41.019><c> scorn.</c>

00:33:42.299 --> 00:33:43.039
So<00:33:42.500><c> what</c><00:33:42.660><c> did</c><00:33:42.799><c> He</c><00:33:42.900><c> do?</c>

00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:44.799
He<00:33:43.180><c> told</c><00:33:43.339><c> them</c><00:33:43.519><c> to</c><00:33:43.660><c> get</c><00:33:43.799><c> out,</c>

00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:50.180
And<00:33:48.500><c> He</c><00:33:48.779><c> restored</c><00:33:49.119><c> the</c><00:33:49.319><c> little</c><00:33:49.519><c> girl</c>

00:33:56.200 --> 00:33:57.900
So<00:33:56.380><c> these</c><00:33:56.660><c> mourners</c><00:33:57.059><c> would</c><00:33:57.279><c> go</c><00:33:57.559><c> about</c>

00:34:02.559 --> 00:34:04.119
their<00:34:02.900><c> mournful</c><00:34:03.460><c> chants</c>

00:34:04.119 --> 00:34:06.740

00:34:12.039 --> 00:34:14.820

00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:17.519

00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:20.960
You<00:34:18.260><c> think</c><00:34:18.760><c> of</c><00:34:19.719><c> how</c><00:34:20.039><c> man</c><00:34:20.300><c> is</c><00:34:20.619><c> framed,</c>

00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:33.039
and<00:34:31.500><c> then</c><00:34:31.719><c> how</c><00:34:31.920><c> the</c><00:34:32.139><c> growth</c><00:34:32.340><c> takes</c><00:34:32.679><c> place</c>

00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:40.820
and<00:34:39.659><c> then</c><00:34:39.840><c> that</c><00:34:40.000><c> we</c><00:34:40.199><c> have</c><00:34:40.380><c> those</c>

00:34:58.400 --> 00:35:00.980
And<00:34:58.559><c> then</c><00:34:58.820><c> gradually</c><00:34:59.280><c> as</c><00:34:59.840><c> we</c><00:35:00.039><c> go</c><00:35:00.199><c> over</c><00:35:00.480><c> the</c><00:35:00.659><c> hill</c>

00:35:14.300 --> 00:35:16.639
why<00:35:14.739><c> does</c><00:35:14.960><c> God</c><00:35:15.159><c> do</c><00:35:15.360><c> it</c><00:35:15.500><c> to</c><00:35:15.679><c> me?</c>

00:35:16.840 --> 00:35:19.619
We<00:35:17.480><c> want</c><00:35:17.699><c> to</c><00:35:17.960><c> say</c><00:35:18.440><c> this</c><00:35:18.840><c> in</c><00:35:19.119><c> life.</c>

00:35:20.099 --> 00:35:23.539
God<00:35:20.420><c> has</c><00:35:20.860><c> given</c><00:35:21.039><c> us</c><00:35:22.159><c> the</c><00:35:22.619><c> breath</c><00:35:22.840><c> of</c><00:35:23.119><c> life.</c>

00:35:23.820 --> 00:35:26.719
He's<00:35:24.219><c> given</c><00:35:24.380><c> us</c><00:35:24.659><c> the</c><00:35:25.159><c> energy</c><00:35:25.579><c> that</c><00:35:25.800><c> we</c><00:35:26.079><c> have.</c>

00:35:26.920 --> 00:35:28.480
Use<00:35:27.559><c> it</c><00:35:27.800><c> while</c><00:35:27.960><c> we</c><00:35:28.199><c> can,</c>

00:35:28.500 --> 00:35:30.320
while<00:35:28.679><c> we</c><00:35:29.000><c> have</c><00:35:29.139><c> it</c><00:35:29.420><c> for</c><00:35:29.639><c> God</c>

00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:31.860

00:35:31.860 --> 00:35:34.260
whether<00:35:32.119><c> life</c><00:35:32.420><c> is</c><00:35:32.739><c> long</c><00:35:32.960><c> or</c><00:35:33.300><c> short.</c>

00:35:34.980 --> 00:35:37.800
Let's<00:35:35.440><c> use</c><00:35:35.639><c> it</c><00:35:36.000><c> in</c><00:35:36.219><c> the</c><00:35:36.440><c> service</c><00:35:36.699><c> of</c><00:35:36.940><c> God.</c>

00:45:05.059 --> 00:45:07.920
He<00:45:05.300><c> is</c><00:45:05.619><c> indeed</c><00:45:06.099><c> the</c><00:45:06.460><c> master</c><00:45:06.780><c> of</c><00:45:07.000><c> all</c><00:45:07.239><c> assemblies,</c>

00:45:18.960 --> 00:45:20.420
So<00:45:19.159><c> in</c><00:45:19.300><c> the</c><00:45:19.519><c> world,</c><00:45:19.900><c> you</c><00:45:19.900><c> can</c><00:45:20.199><c> have,</c>

00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:23.099
there<00:45:20.760><c> are</c><00:45:20.920><c> many,</c><00:45:21.179><c> many</c><00:45:21.320><c> books</c><00:45:21.599><c> that</c><00:45:21.820><c> you</c><00:45:21.940><c> can</c><00:45:22.219><c> read,</c>

where<00:45:26.420><c> much</c><00:45:26.820><c> study</c><00:45:27.059><c> is</c><00:45:28.059><c> a</c><00:45:28.320><c> weariness</c><00:45:28.699><c> of</c><00:45:28.880><c> the</c><00:45:29.099><c> flesh.</c>

00:45:30.300 --> 00:45:31.539
But<00:45:30.480><c> when</c><00:45:30.659><c> we</c><00:45:30.920><c> come</c><00:45:31.119><c> to</c><00:45:31.340><c> study,</c>

00:45:33.880 --> 00:45:35.599
we<00:45:34.059><c> don't</c><00:45:34.340><c> just</c><00:45:34.579><c> want</c><00:45:34.760><c> to</c><00:45:35.019><c> pack</c><00:45:35.199><c> our</c><00:45:35.440><c> heads</c>

00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:42.199
The<00:45:39.800><c> thing</c><00:45:40.019><c> is</c><00:45:40.380><c> to</c><00:45:40.880><c> study</c><00:45:41.460><c> the</c><00:45:41.699><c> Word</c><00:45:41.820><c> of</c><00:45:41.960><c> God</c>

00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:46.000
such<00:45:44.360><c> as</c><00:45:44.880><c> Solomon</c><00:45:45.320><c> is</c><00:45:45.639><c> here,</c>

00:45:48.599 --> 00:45:50.840
that<00:45:48.880><c> we</c><00:45:49.099><c> should</c><00:45:49.500><c> read,</c><00:45:50.079><c> we</c><00:45:50.199><c> should</c><00:45:50.500><c> study,</c>

00:45:52.780 --> 00:45:55.199
Merely<00:45:53.239><c> by</c><00:45:53.400><c> making</c><00:45:53.699><c> many</c><00:45:53.980><c> books</c><00:45:54.260><c> and</c><00:45:54.380><c> reading</c><00:45:54.699><c> many</c><00:45:54.980><c> books,</c>

00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:56.380

00:45:56.800 --> 00:46:00.199
But<00:45:57.000><c> there</c><00:45:57.179><c> is</c><00:45:57.420><c> a</c><00:45:57.539><c> lot</c><00:45:57.920><c> to</c><00:45:58.280><c> be</c><00:45:58.480><c> gained</c><00:45:58.659><c> by</c><00:45:58.960><c> reading</c><00:45:59.340><c> the</c><00:45:59.760><c> scripture</c>

00:46:03.460 --> 00:46:05.320
to<00:46:03.679><c> the</c><00:46:03.920><c> understanding</c><00:46:04.340><c> of</c><00:46:04.539><c> it.</c>

00:46:06.019 --> 00:46:10.019
And<00:46:06.380><c> now</c><00:46:06.559><c> he</c><00:46:06.719><c> comes</c><00:46:07.000><c> to</c><00:46:07.219><c> that</c><00:46:07.800><c> wonderful</c><00:46:08.800><c> conclusion.</c>

00:46:10.659 --> 00:46:13.579
He's<00:46:11.219><c> gone</c><00:46:11.420><c> over</c><00:46:11.699><c> the</c><00:46:11.880><c> whole</c><00:46:12.159><c> field</c><00:46:12.480><c> of</c><00:46:12.739><c> life.</c>

00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:16.900
He's<00:46:14.159><c> considered</c><00:46:14.480><c> man</c><00:46:14.820><c> in</c><00:46:15.079><c> relation</c><00:46:15.460><c> to</c><00:46:15.679><c> his</c><00:46:15.940><c> fellows.</c>

00:46:16.940 --> 00:46:20.199
He's<00:46:17.340><c> considered</c><00:46:17.659><c> man</c><00:46:17.980><c> in</c><00:46:18.219><c> relation</c><00:46:18.559><c> to</c><00:46:18.780><c> the</c><00:46:19.019><c> things</c><00:46:19.280><c> about</c><00:46:19.659><c> him,</c>

00:46:23.559 --> 00:46:25.880
He's<00:46:24.239><c> seen</c><00:46:24.800><c> mirth.</c>

00:46:26.320 --> 00:46:27.420
He's<00:46:26.679><c> seen</c><00:46:26.760><c> levity.</c>

00:46:27.860 --> 00:46:29.480
He's<00:46:28.179><c> seen</c><00:46:28.340><c> sorrow.</c>

00:46:30.159 --> 00:46:32.780
He's<00:46:30.360><c> looked</c><00:46:30.500><c> at</c><00:46:30.699><c> all</c><00:46:30.980><c> the</c><00:46:31.179><c> facets</c><00:46:31.460><c> of</c><00:46:31.800><c> life.</c>

00:46:41.380 --> 00:46:44.139
And<00:46:41.679><c> now</c><00:46:41.940><c> comes</c><00:46:42.340><c> his</c><00:46:42.659><c> grand</c><00:46:43.000><c> conclusion.</c>

00:46:44.880 --> 00:46:48.360
Let's<00:46:45.320><c> hear</c><00:46:45.619><c> the</c><00:46:46.400><c> conclusion</c><00:46:46.980><c> of</c><00:46:47.139><c> the</c><00:46:47.260><c> whole</c><00:46:47.460><c> matter.</c>

What<00:46:49.079><c> is</c><00:46:49.280><c> it?</c>

00:46:50.000 --> 00:46:54.400
Fear<00:46:51.079><c> God</c><00:46:51.760><c> and</c><00:46:52.599><c> keep</c><00:46:52.900><c> His</c><00:46:53.239><c> commandments.</c>

00:46:54.920 --> 00:46:58.079
This<00:46:55.320><c> is</c><00:46:55.820><c> the</c><00:46:56.260><c> whole</c><00:46:56.579><c> duty</c><00:46:56.880><c> of</c><00:46:57.139><c> man.</c>

00:46:58.940 --> 00:47:00.599

00:47:03.079 --> 00:47:04.659
Fear<00:47:03.619><c> God.</c>

00:47:13.300 --> 00:47:15.159
It's<00:47:13.699><c> because</c><00:47:13.900><c> they</c><00:47:14.079><c> don't</c><00:47:14.260><c> believe</c><00:47:14.579><c> in</c><00:47:14.860><c> God</c>
