00:01:18.900 --> 00:01:21.980
It's<00:01:19.060><c> a</c><00:01:19.099><c> nice</c><00:01:19.219><c> idea.</c><00:01:19.799><c> Something</c><00:01:20.060><c> about</c><00:01:20.280><c> repairing</c><00:01:20.760><c> of</c><00:01:21.000><c> breaches.</c>

Having<00:01:33.519><c> thought</c><00:01:34.120><c> yesterday</c><00:01:34.840><c> about</c><00:01:35.760><c> the</c><00:01:36.120><c> sanctity</c><00:01:36.700><c> and</c><00:01:36.959><c> importance</c><00:01:37.500><c> and</c>

00:01:42.620 --> 00:01:46.299
It's<00:01:42.700><c> not</c><00:01:42.879><c> about</c><00:01:43.200><c> ordinary</c><00:01:43.439><c> men</c><00:01:43.620><c> of</c><00:01:43.780><c> the</c><00:01:43.959><c> world</c><00:01:44.200><c> with</c><00:01:45.280><c> worldly</c><00:01:45.680><c> values.</c>

00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:51.500
We<00:01:46.739><c> lost</c><00:01:47.079><c> our</c><00:01:47.620><c> ordinariness</c><00:01:48.620><c> when</c><00:01:49.640><c> we</c><00:01:49.920><c> walked</c><00:01:50.159><c> into</c><00:01:50.540><c> and</c><00:01:50.739><c> became</c><00:01:51.099><c> part</c>

00:01:54.099 --> 00:01:58.560
We're<00:01:54.859><c> called</c><00:01:54.859><c> to</c><00:01:55.040><c> have</c><00:01:55.200><c> separate</c><00:01:56.120><c> values,</c><00:01:57.120><c> separate</c><00:01:57.340><c> behaviour,</c>

00:01:58.739 --> 00:02:03.120
and<00:01:59.379><c> we</c><00:01:59.719><c> can</c><00:02:00.040><c> no</c><00:02:00.299><c> longer</c><00:02:00.620><c> merge</c><00:02:01.019><c> into</c><00:02:01.280><c> the</c><00:02:01.459><c> background</c><00:02:02.079><c> of</c>

00:02:04.659 --> 00:02:08.060
so<00:02:04.840><c> that</c><00:02:04.939><c> we</c><00:02:05.079><c> become</c><00:02:05.280><c> indistinguishable</c><00:02:06.620><c> from</c><00:02:07.219><c> everybody</c><00:02:07.760><c> else.</c>

That's<00:11:52.720><c> what</c><00:11:52.860><c> it</c><00:11:53.159><c> says</c><00:11:53.779><c> at</c><00:11:54.220><c> the</c><00:11:54.299><c> end</c><00:11:54.559><c> of</c><00:11:54.879><c> verse</c><00:11:55.340><c> 28.</c>

00:33:17.240 --> 00:33:21.519
We<00:33:17.799><c> are</c><00:33:17.980><c> not</c><00:33:18.160><c> imposed</c><00:33:18.680><c> upon</c><00:33:19.259><c> by</c><00:33:19.839><c> the</c><00:33:20.059><c> will,</c><00:33:20.440><c> the</c><00:33:20.579><c> arrogance,</c>

00:33:25.019 --> 00:33:28.779
so<00:33:25.240><c> that</c><00:33:25.420><c> we</c><00:33:25.559><c> can</c><00:33:25.839><c> lead</c><00:33:26.079><c> a</c><00:33:26.619><c> quiet</c><00:33:26.940><c> and</c><00:33:27.400><c> a</c><00:33:27.720><c> peaceable</c><00:33:28.400><c> life.</c>

00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:32.299
Because<00:33:29.539><c> things</c><00:33:29.759><c> are</c><00:33:30.000><c> quite</c><00:33:30.180><c> outside</c><00:33:30.720><c> and</c><00:33:31.079><c> the</c><00:33:31.240><c> opportunity</c><00:33:31.700><c> exists</c>

00:33:36.319 --> 00:33:42.720
we<00:33:36.500><c> can</c><00:33:36.720><c> live</c><00:33:36.980><c> peaceable</c><00:33:37.660><c> lives</c><00:33:38.160><c> in</c><00:33:38.599><c> all</c><00:33:39.180><c> godliness</c><00:33:39.759><c> and</c><00:33:40.720><c> honesty</c><00:33:41.180><c> and</c><00:33:41.740><c> seriousness.</c>

00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:45.119
And<00:33:43.680><c> that's</c><00:33:43.799><c> what</c><00:33:43.960><c> the</c><00:33:44.180><c> ecclesia</c><00:33:44.539><c> is</c><00:33:44.720><c> about.</c>

00:33:45.119 --> 00:33:50.240
The<00:33:45.559><c> reason</c><00:33:45.859><c> why</c><00:33:46.099><c> we</c><00:33:46.380><c> pray</c><00:33:46.579><c> is</c><00:33:46.759><c> that</c><00:33:46.880><c> we</c><00:33:46.980><c> can</c><00:33:47.259><c> develop</c><00:33:48.059><c> in</c><00:33:49.099><c> godliness.</c>

00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:53.680
But<00:33:50.920><c> more</c><00:33:51.160><c> than</c><00:33:51.359><c> that,</c><00:33:52.299><c> that</c><00:33:52.420><c> the</c><00:33:52.579><c> Lord</c><00:33:52.740><c> will</c><00:33:53.019><c> provide</c><00:33:53.339><c> for</c><00:33:53.519><c> us</c>

00:34:07.819 --> 00:34:10.440

00:34:11.780 --> 00:34:15.099
So<00:34:12.539><c> prayer</c><00:34:13.019><c> is</c><00:34:13.780><c> a</c><00:34:14.139><c> number</c><00:34:14.659><c> one.</c>

I<00:38:24.300><c> know</c><00:38:24.780><c> better</c><00:38:25.599><c> than</c><00:38:25.840><c> most,</c>

00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:34.139
my<00:38:30.840><c> beloved</c><00:38:31.239><c> brethren,</c><00:38:32.480><c> how</c><00:38:32.780><c> much</c><00:38:33.559><c> pressure</c>

00:38:34.139 --> 00:38:39.739
and<00:38:34.920><c> how</c><00:38:35.159><c> much</c><00:38:35.579><c> time</c><00:38:36.039><c> is</c><00:38:36.320><c> taking</c><00:38:36.659><c> up</c><00:38:37.340><c> in</c><00:38:37.760><c> pursuing</c><00:38:38.199><c> our</c><00:38:38.840><c> careers.</c>

00:38:40.059 --> 00:38:44.260
I've<00:38:40.179><c> seen</c><00:38:40.960><c> my</c><00:38:42.139><c> own</c><00:38:42.500><c> ecclesia</c><00:38:43.219><c> go</c><00:38:43.679><c> lacking</c>

00:38:44.260 --> 00:38:50.340
because<00:38:45.219><c> of</c><00:38:46.119><c> the</c><00:38:47.199><c> skills</c><00:38:47.639><c> and</c><00:38:48.239><c> the</c><00:38:48.440><c> development</c><00:38:48.699><c> and</c><00:38:48.860><c> the</c><00:38:49.139><c> dedication</c><00:38:49.679><c> of</c><00:38:50.059><c> brethren</c>

00:38:50.340 --> 00:38:52.980
being<00:38:50.840><c> sucked</c><00:38:51.300><c> away</c><00:38:51.900><c> into</c><00:38:52.719><c> work.</c>

00:38:52.980 --> 00:38:54.519
And<00:38:53.119><c> it's</c><00:38:53.219><c> easy</c><00:38:53.420><c> to</c><00:38:53.639><c> see</c><00:38:53.760><c> how</c><00:38:53.960><c> it</c><00:38:54.159><c> happens.</c>

00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:58.059
We<00:38:54.860><c> must</c><00:38:55.039><c> do</c><00:38:55.280><c> everything</c><00:38:55.780><c> as</c><00:38:56.019><c> unto</c><00:38:56.239><c> the</c><00:38:56.559><c> Lord,</c><00:38:57.539><c> don't</c><00:38:57.780><c> we?</c>

00:38:58.139 --> 00:38:59.820
That's<00:38:58.480><c> just</c><00:38:58.599><c> what</c><00:38:58.699><c> we</c><00:38:58.880><c> say</c><00:38:59.019><c> to</c><00:38:59.219><c> ourselves.</c>

00:39:00.199 --> 00:39:03.079
And<00:39:00.400><c> therefore</c><00:39:00.619><c> I</c><00:39:00.820><c> must</c><00:39:01.079><c> finish</c><00:39:01.400><c> this</c><00:39:01.760><c> work</c><00:39:01.940><c> before</c><00:39:02.239><c> I</c><00:39:02.440><c> go</c><00:39:02.679><c> home.</c>

00:39:03.260 --> 00:39:04.920
I<00:39:03.519><c> must</c><00:39:03.800><c> have</c><00:39:03.960><c> a</c><00:39:04.219><c> clear</c><00:39:04.420><c> desk.</c>

00:39:05.219 --> 00:39:07.420
I<00:39:05.460><c> must</c><00:39:05.760><c> actually</c><00:39:06.119><c> make</c><00:39:06.260><c> the</c><00:39:06.440><c> best</c><00:39:06.699><c> presentation.</c>

00:39:07.840 --> 00:39:11.260
This<00:39:08.019><c> has</c><00:39:08.179><c> got</c><00:39:08.300><c> to</c><00:39:08.440><c> be</c><00:39:08.539><c> the,</c><00:39:08.840><c> and</c><00:39:09.079><c> so</c><00:39:09.280><c> we</c><00:39:09.500><c> do,</c><00:39:10.000><c> and</c><00:39:10.199><c> perhaps</c><00:39:10.480><c> rightly</c><00:39:10.780><c> so.</c>

00:39:11.559 --> 00:39:14.179
But<00:39:11.739><c> we</c><00:39:11.900><c> very</c><00:39:12.059><c> often</c><00:39:12.280><c> don't</c><00:39:12.460><c> know</c><00:39:12.599><c> where</c><00:39:12.739><c> to</c><00:39:12.940><c> draw</c><00:39:13.059><c> the</c><00:39:13.280><c> border.</c>

00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:18.739
Because<00:39:15.440><c> working</c><00:39:15.800><c> as</c><00:39:16.019><c> unto</c><00:39:16.179><c> the</c><00:39:16.440><c> Lord</c><00:39:16.659><c> then</c><00:39:16.900><c> becomes</c><00:39:18.000><c> working</c>

00:39:18.739 --> 00:39:19.460
for<00:39:19.219><c> ourselves.</c>

00:39:19.460 --> 00:39:21.639
And<00:39:20.420><c> what</c><00:39:20.739><c> about</c><00:39:20.980><c> the</c><00:39:21.239><c> family?</c>

00:39:21.980 --> 00:39:23.920
What<00:39:22.039><c> about</c><00:39:22.239><c> he</c><00:39:22.440><c> that</c><00:39:22.579><c> doesn't</c><00:39:22.860><c> provide</c><00:39:23.199><c> for</c><00:39:23.360><c> his</c><00:39:23.500><c> own</c><00:39:23.679><c> family</c>

00:39:23.920 --> 00:39:24.820

00:39:24.840 --> 00:39:27.059
He's<00:39:25.139><c> worse</c><00:39:25.460><c> than</c><00:39:25.900><c> an</c><00:39:26.139><c> infidel.</c>

00:39:27.820 --> 00:39:30.119
And<00:39:27.920><c> so</c><00:39:28.000><c> we</c><00:39:28.099><c> have</c><00:39:28.239><c> great</c><00:39:28.519><c> difficulty</c><00:39:29.019><c> drawing</c><00:39:29.360><c> the</c><00:39:29.619><c> line.</c>

00:39:30.460 --> 00:39:36.820
And<00:39:30.619><c> so</c><00:39:30.719><c> our</c><00:39:30.860><c> own</c><00:39:31.159><c> families</c><00:39:31.559><c> suffer,</c><00:39:33.179><c> and</c><00:39:33.539><c> the</c><00:39:33.760><c> ecclesia</c><00:39:34.539><c> suffers</c><00:39:35.000><c> with</c><00:39:35.940><c> it.</c>

00:39:36.940 --> 00:39:43.239
We<00:39:37.179><c> are</c><00:39:37.260><c> called</c><00:39:37.400><c> upon</c><00:39:37.960><c> as</c><00:39:39.039><c> ecclesial</c><00:39:39.699><c> men</c><00:39:40.199><c> to</c><00:39:41.000><c> make</c><00:39:42.079><c> a</c><00:39:42.400><c> firm</c><00:39:42.699><c> commitment.</c>

00:39:43.380 --> 00:39:46.460
Now<00:39:43.579><c> I</c><00:39:43.619><c> know</c><00:39:43.820><c> we</c><00:39:43.980><c> don't</c><00:39:44.219><c> have</c><00:39:44.440><c> bishops</c><00:39:45.300><c> these</c><00:39:45.920><c> days,</c><00:39:46.400><c> brethren</c>

00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:45.739
Now<00:40:43.320><c> I'm</c><00:40:43.599><c> well</c><00:40:43.840><c> aware</c><00:40:44.079><c> that</c><00:40:44.239><c> you</c><00:40:44.420><c> can't</c><00:40:44.900><c> see</c><00:40:45.099><c> it</c><00:40:45.320><c> from</c><00:40:45.519><c> the</c>
