00:05:41.220 --> 00:05:46.579
And<00:05:41.459><c> then</c><00:05:42.060><c> he</c><00:05:43.100><c> says</c><00:05:43.459><c> to</c><00:05:43.740><c> the</c><00:05:43.980><c> fathers,</c><00:05:44.980><c> verse</c><00:05:45.740><c> 14,</c>

00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:48.220
I've<00:05:46.920><c> written</c><00:05:47.060><c> unto</c><00:05:47.360><c> you</c><00:05:47.879><c> fathers,</c>

00:05:48.399 --> 00:05:53.100
because<00:05:48.639><c> ye</c><00:05:48.980><c> have</c><00:05:49.779><c> known</c><00:05:50.240><c> him</c><00:05:50.980><c> from</c><00:05:51.540><c> the</c><00:05:51.759><c> very</c><00:05:52.019><c> beginning.</c>

00:05:53.240 --> 00:05:55.180
And<00:05:53.759><c> they</c><00:05:54.279><c> have</c><00:05:54.620><c> lived</c><00:05:54.860><c> with</c><00:05:55.019><c> it</c>

00:05:58.019 --> 00:06:00.199
So<00:05:58.319><c> there</c><00:05:58.480><c> has</c><00:05:58.660><c> been</c><00:05:58.800><c> a</c><00:05:59.019><c> maturing</c><00:05:59.540><c> process.</c>

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:02.279

00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:14.920
If<00:06:13.300><c> any</c><00:06:13.540><c> man</c><00:06:13.939><c> loves</c><00:06:14.379><c> the</c><00:06:14.639><c> world,</c>

00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.519
And<00:06:20.019><c> it's</c><00:06:21.180><c> that</c><00:06:21.480><c> choice,</c><00:06:21.879><c> frankly,</c>

00:06:22.980 --> 00:06:27.100

00:06:29.139 --> 00:06:31.399
James<00:06:29.439><c> picks</c><00:06:29.759><c> up</c><00:06:29.959><c> the</c><00:06:30.160><c> same</c><00:06:30.379><c> idea,</c><00:06:30.819><c> doesn't</c><00:06:31.100><c> he,</c>

James<00:06:42.180><c> 4,</c><00:06:47.879><c> and</c><00:06:47.939><c> of</c><00:06:48.120><c> course,</c>

00:06:48.459 --> 00:06:50.819
the<00:06:48.540><c> truth</c><00:06:48.720><c> in</c><00:06:48.920><c> one</c><00:06:49.139><c> sense</c><00:06:49.399><c> is,</c><00:06:49.959><c> well,</c><00:06:50.180><c> in</c><00:06:50.339><c> every</c><00:06:50.560><c> sense,</c>

00:06:52.660 --> 00:06:54.139
There's<00:06:52.779><c> a</c><00:06:52.920><c> very</c><00:06:53.259><c> clear</c><00:06:53.459><c> dividing</c><00:06:53.800><c> line.</c>

00:06:54.339 --> 00:06:56.019
It<00:06:54.519><c> is</c><00:06:54.800><c> black</c><00:06:55.100><c> and</c><00:06:55.459><c> white.</c>

00:06:56.480 --> 00:06:57.240
And<00:06:56.639><c> in</c><00:06:56.839><c> a</c><00:06:56.959><c> sense,</c>

00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.699
that's<00:06:57.579><c> what</c><00:06:57.800><c> the</c><00:06:57.939><c> New</c><00:06:58.079><c> Testament</c><00:06:58.439><c> meaning</c>

00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:02.480
It's<00:07:00.120><c> the</c><00:07:00.319><c> difference</c><00:07:00.660><c> between</c><00:07:01.339><c> black</c><00:07:02.040><c> and</c><00:07:02.279><c> white,</c>

00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:08.120
Verse<00:07:05.399><c> 4,</c><00:07:05.939><c> then,</c><00:07:06.060><c> of</c><00:07:06.240><c> James</c><00:07:06.920><c> 4,</c>

00:07:08.180 --> 00:07:09.860
you<00:07:08.339><c> adulterers</c><00:07:09.079><c> and</c><00:07:09.300><c> adulteresses,</c>

00:07:09.860 --> 00:07:15.480
know<00:07:10.120><c> ye</c><00:07:10.319><c> not</c><00:07:10.920><c> that</c><00:07:12.279><c> the</c><00:07:12.779><c> friendship</c><00:07:13.319><c> or</c><00:07:14.060><c> fondness,</c>

00:07:20.339 --> 00:07:26.199
is<00:07:21.259><c> enmity,</c><00:07:22.319><c> it</c><00:07:22.420><c> is</c><00:07:22.660><c> hostile</c><00:07:23.459><c> with</c><00:07:25.040><c> God.</c>

00:07:26.740 --> 00:07:28.199
So<00:07:27.160><c> you</c><00:07:27.339><c> have</c><00:07:27.540><c> to</c><00:07:27.680><c> make</c><00:07:27.819><c> a</c><00:07:27.980><c> choice.</c>

00:07:28.300 --> 00:07:32.019
Whosoever,<00:07:28.779><c> therefore,</c><00:07:29.660><c> will</c><00:07:29.800><c> be</c><00:07:30.019><c> a</c><00:07:30.399><c> friend</c><00:07:30.899><c> of</c><00:07:31.259><c> the</c><00:07:31.500><c> world</c>

00:07:32.019 --> 00:07:35.600
makes<00:07:32.879><c> himself</c><00:07:34.040><c> hostile</c><00:07:35.199><c> to</c><00:07:35.360><c> God.</c>

00:07:35.620 --> 00:07:37.139
That's<00:07:35.920><c> the</c><00:07:36.040><c> point</c><00:07:36.180><c> that</c><00:07:36.399><c> Duncan's</c>

00:07:37.139 --> 00:07:38.639
been<00:07:37.360><c> pushing</c><00:07:37.639><c> all</c><00:07:38.019><c> the</c><00:07:38.180><c> way</c><00:07:38.379><c> through.</c>

00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.819
Very<00:07:39.100><c> often</c><00:07:39.399><c> we</c><00:07:39.600><c> make</c><00:07:39.920><c> our</c><00:07:40.139><c> own</c><00:07:40.339><c> judgment</c><00:07:40.620><c> in</c><00:07:41.139><c> this</c><00:07:41.519><c> life</c>

00:07:41.819 --> 00:07:44.439
and<00:07:42.079><c> all</c><00:07:42.220><c> the</c><00:07:42.939><c> sadness</c><00:07:43.259><c> associated</c><00:07:43.959><c> with</c><00:07:44.220><c> it.</c>

00:07:44.600 --> 00:07:47.459
The<00:07:44.660><c> final</c><00:07:44.980><c> judgment</c><00:07:45.420><c> will</c><00:07:45.899><c> be</c><00:07:46.240><c> ours</c><00:07:46.500><c> and</c><00:07:46.759><c> ours</c><00:07:46.959><c> alone</c>

00:07:50.339 --> 00:07:53.100
So<00:07:50.560><c> there's</c><00:07:50.759><c> a</c><00:07:50.879><c> very</c><00:07:51.439><c> clear</c><00:07:52.360><c> distinction</c>

00:07:53.100 --> 00:07:54.860
that<00:07:53.939><c> needs</c><00:07:54.259><c> to</c><00:07:54.500><c> be</c><00:07:54.680><c> drawn.</c>

00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:58.000
You<00:07:55.100><c> are</c><00:07:55.439><c> either</c><00:07:56.040><c> one</c><00:07:56.500><c> or</c><00:07:56.779><c> you</c><00:07:56.980><c> are</c><00:07:57.680><c> another.</c>

00:07:58.300 --> 00:07:59.079
You're<00:07:58.459><c> the</c><00:07:58.600><c> friend</c><00:07:58.740><c> of</c><00:07:58.860><c> God</c>

00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:03.160
or<00:07:59.300><c> you're</c><00:07:59.459><c> the</c><00:07:59.680><c> friend</c><00:08:00.420><c> of</c><00:08:01.879><c> the</c><00:08:02.240><c> world.</c>

00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.819
Keeping<00:08:03.879><c> bad</c><00:08:05.139><c> company</c><00:08:05.800><c> corrupts</c><00:08:06.779><c> good</c><00:08:07.339><c> manners,</c>

00:08:07.819 --> 00:08:09.319
says<00:08:08.300><c> the</c><00:08:08.519><c> Apostle</c><00:08:08.879><c> Paul.</c>

00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:11.959
And<00:08:09.879><c> if</c><00:08:09.980><c> we</c><00:08:10.220><c> dabble</c><00:08:10.579><c> with</c><00:08:11.480><c> one,</c>

00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:15.660
we<00:08:12.360><c> will</c><00:08:12.699><c> certainly</c><00:08:13.379><c> compromise</c><00:08:14.160><c> the</c><00:08:14.779><c> other.</c>

00:08:16.100 --> 00:08:17.079
He<00:08:16.120><c> says</c><00:08:16.319><c> in</c><00:08:16.459><c> verse</c><00:08:16.639><c> 5,</c>

00:08:17.259 --> 00:08:19.600

00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:21.480

00:08:22.519 --> 00:08:23.920
That's<00:08:22.819><c> the</c><00:08:22.920><c> sort</c><00:08:23.019><c> of</c><00:08:23.199><c> person</c><00:08:23.399><c> that</c><00:08:23.579><c> we</c><00:08:23.740><c> are.</c>

00:08:24.060 --> 00:08:25.779
But<00:08:24.180><c> he</c><00:08:24.360><c> has</c><00:08:24.560><c> given</c><00:08:24.740><c> us</c><00:08:24.959><c> more</c><00:08:25.259><c> grace</c>

00:08:25.779 --> 00:08:28.459

00:08:28.459 --> 00:08:30.959

00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.220

00:08:48.940 --> 00:08:50.779
If<00:08:49.100><c> you</c><00:08:49.259><c> just</c><00:08:49.419><c> make</c><00:08:49.559><c> a</c><00:08:49.620><c> little</c><00:08:49.899><c> note</c><00:08:50.159><c> of</c><00:08:50.340><c> that</c>

00:09:01.940 --> 00:09:04.600
That's<00:09:02.139><c> just</c><00:09:02.279><c> what</c><00:09:02.440><c> Elijah</c><00:09:02.840><c> said</c><00:09:03.059><c> to</c><00:09:03.279><c> the</c><00:09:03.480><c> people.</c>

00:09:04.659 --> 00:09:08.340
When<00:09:04.980><c> he</c><00:09:06.179><c> confronted</c><00:09:06.740><c> them</c><00:09:07.259><c> in</c><00:09:07.840><c> Carmel</c>

00:09:08.340 --> 00:09:11.799

00:09:12.100 --> 00:09:15.399
He<00:09:12.100><c> said,</c><00:09:13.179><c> why</c><00:09:13.179><c> do</c><00:09:13.519><c> you</c><00:09:13.720><c> halt</c><00:09:14.120><c> between</c><00:09:14.639><c> two</c><00:09:14.940><c> opinions?</c>

00:09:15.820 --> 00:09:18.899
Why<00:09:16.000><c> are</c><00:09:16.240><c> you</c><00:09:16.360><c> hopping</c><00:09:16.679><c> from</c><00:09:17.019><c> one</c><00:09:17.500><c> foot</c><00:09:17.779><c> into</c><00:09:18.240><c> the</c><00:09:18.399><c> other</c><00:09:18.620><c> foot</c>

00:09:18.899 --> 00:09:22.220
not<00:09:19.240><c> quite</c><00:09:19.779><c> knowing</c><00:09:20.279><c> which</c><00:09:20.600><c> one</c><00:09:20.799><c> you</c><00:09:20.940><c> ought</c><00:09:21.100><c> to</c><00:09:21.279><c> be</c><00:09:21.460><c> in?</c>

00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:23.899
Which<00:09:22.919><c> camp</c><00:09:23.259><c> are</c><00:09:23.519><c> you</c><00:09:23.720><c> in?</c>

00:09:24.019 --> 00:09:27.000
If<00:09:24.179><c> the</c><00:09:24.419><c> Lord</c><00:09:24.659><c> is</c><00:09:24.899><c> God,</c><00:09:25.259><c> serve</c><00:09:25.820><c> him.</c>

00:09:27.059 --> 00:09:29.279
If<00:09:27.320><c> Baal</c><00:09:27.580><c> is</c><00:09:27.700><c> God,</c><00:09:27.960><c> serve</c><00:09:28.500><c> him.</c>

00:09:29.460 --> 00:09:31.220
Can't<00:09:29.720><c> have</c><00:09:29.860><c> it</c><00:09:30.080><c> both</c><00:09:30.259><c> ways.</c>

00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:33.600
And<00:09:32.059><c> so</c><00:09:32.259><c> James</c><00:09:32.559><c> notices</c><00:09:32.980><c> that</c><00:09:33.259><c> and</c><00:09:33.379><c> he</c><00:09:33.480><c> says,</c>

00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.759
submit<00:09:33.980><c> yourselves</c><00:09:34.419><c> therefore</c><00:09:34.919><c> to</c><00:09:35.360><c> God</c>

00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:38.460

00:09:38.659 --> 00:09:40.039
Just<00:09:38.919><c> like</c><00:09:39.100><c> the</c><00:09:39.299><c> prophets</c><00:09:39.480><c> of</c><00:09:39.720><c> Baal</c><00:09:39.840><c> did</c>

00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:42.139
but<00:09:40.220><c> not</c><00:09:40.460><c> fast</c><00:09:40.659><c> enough</c><00:09:40.840><c> because</c><00:09:41.080><c> they</c><00:09:41.220><c> were</c><00:09:41.360><c> all</c><00:09:41.580><c> slain.</c>

00:09:42.419 --> 00:09:45.559
Draw<00:09:42.860><c> nigh</c><00:09:43.200><c> to</c><00:09:43.440><c> God</c><00:09:43.799><c> and</c><00:09:44.100><c> he</c><00:09:44.279><c> will</c><00:09:44.559><c> draw</c><00:09:44.899><c> nigh</c><00:09:45.159><c> to</c><00:09:45.340><c> you.</c>

00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:47.379
It's<00:09:45.940><c> just</c><00:09:46.139><c> what</c><00:09:46.320><c> Elijah</c><00:09:46.600><c> said</c><00:09:46.779><c> to</c><00:09:46.940><c> the</c><00:09:47.120><c> people</c>

00:09:47.860 --> 00:09:50.100
after<00:09:48.179><c> they'd</c><00:09:48.480><c> watched</c><00:09:48.639><c> this</c><00:09:48.919><c> great</c><00:09:49.240><c> pantomime</c>

00:09:50.100 --> 00:09:54.100
of<00:09:50.399><c> the</c><00:09:50.600><c> prophets</c><00:09:50.799><c> of</c><00:09:51.059><c> Baal</c><00:09:51.340><c> prancing</c><00:09:52.000><c> around</c><00:09:52.720><c> the</c><00:09:53.720><c> altar,</c>

00:09:54.179 --> 00:09:57.779
cutting<00:09:54.559><c> themselves,</c><00:09:55.279><c> wailing</c><00:09:55.639><c> for</c><00:09:55.940><c> six</c><00:09:56.240><c> hours</c><00:09:56.539><c> or</c><00:09:56.840><c> more.</c>

00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.840
And<00:09:58.259><c> in</c><00:09:58.419><c> the</c><00:09:58.740><c> calmness</c><00:09:59.220><c> as</c><00:09:59.419><c> the</c><00:09:59.559><c> evening</c><00:09:59.799><c> grew</c><00:10:00.080><c> nigh,</c>

00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:03.179
Elijah<00:10:01.379><c> said,</c><00:10:02.159><c> come</c><00:10:02.500><c> near</c><00:10:02.720><c> to</c><00:10:02.960><c> me.</c>

00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.759
It's<00:10:03.919><c> the</c><00:10:04.019><c> very</c><00:10:04.200><c> same</c><00:10:04.440><c> words</c><00:10:04.720><c> there,</c><00:10:04.940><c> the</c><00:10:05.000><c> very</c><00:10:05.100><c> same</c><00:10:05.340><c> idea.</c>

00:10:06.100 --> 00:10:07.320
Cleanse<00:10:06.519><c> your</c><00:10:06.700><c> heart,</c><00:10:07.019><c> ye</c><00:10:07.139><c> sinners.</c>

00:10:07.740 --> 00:10:10.740
Purify<00:10:08.379><c> your</c><00:10:08.659><c> hearts,</c><00:10:09.019><c> ye</c><00:10:09.220><c> double</c><00:10:09.700><c>-minded.</c>

00:10:10.899 --> 00:10:13.879
Why<00:10:11.299><c> halt</c><00:10:11.639><c> between</c><00:10:12.080><c> two</c><00:10:12.340><c> opinions,</c><00:10:13.000><c> one</c><00:10:13.200><c> and</c><00:10:13.320><c> the</c><00:10:13.519><c> other?</c>

00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:18.299
And<00:10:14.500><c> so</c><00:10:15.159><c> it's</c><00:10:15.919><c> a</c><00:10:16.019><c> matter</c><00:10:16.419><c> of</c><00:10:17.220><c> making</c><00:10:17.679><c> a</c><00:10:18.080><c> choice.</c>

00:10:18.500 --> 00:10:20.460
Love<00:10:18.779><c> not</c><00:10:19.080><c> this</c><00:10:19.340><c> present</c><00:10:19.840><c> world.</c>

00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.600
You<00:10:20.659><c> cannot</c><00:10:20.960><c> serve</c><00:10:21.340><c> two</c><00:10:21.620><c> masters.</c>

00:10:22.700 --> 00:10:25.460
You<00:10:22.840><c> cannot</c><00:10:23.120><c> serve</c><00:10:23.480><c> God</c><00:10:23.860><c> and</c><00:10:24.419><c> mammon.</c>

00:10:25.539 --> 00:10:29.639
You<00:10:25.759><c> can't</c><00:10:26.179><c> go</c><00:10:26.620><c> for</c><00:10:26.899><c> wealth</c><00:10:27.360><c> and</c><00:10:28.019><c> wealth</c><00:10:28.519><c> as</c><00:10:28.919><c> a</c><00:10:29.159><c> priority</c>

00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:32.879

00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:36.820
And<00:10:33.279><c> it</c><00:10:33.460><c> comes</c><00:10:33.720><c> through</c><00:10:34.019><c> in</c><00:10:34.240><c> so</c><00:10:34.480><c> many</c><00:10:34.899><c> different</c><00:10:35.679><c> ways</c>

00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:41.539
that<00:10:37.200><c> we</c><00:10:37.460><c> are</c><00:10:37.740><c> called</c><00:10:37.860><c> upon</c><00:10:38.220><c> not</c><00:10:38.779><c> to</c><00:10:39.179><c> love</c><00:10:39.580><c> this</c><00:10:40.500><c> present</c><00:10:40.940><c> world.</c>

00:10:41.940 --> 00:10:43.399

00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:16.700

then<00:27:26.940><c> we</c><00:27:27.059><c> are</c><00:27:27.279><c> not</c><00:27:27.440><c> of</c><00:27:27.579><c> the</c><00:27:27.779><c> Father.</c>

00:27:28.039 --> 00:27:31.960
We<00:27:28.160><c> are</c><00:27:28.359><c> not</c><00:27:28.599><c> following</c><00:27:28.960><c> him</c><00:27:29.900><c> as</c><00:27:30.599><c> dear</c><00:27:30.880><c> children.</c>

00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:36.859
So<00:27:33.180><c> God</c><00:27:34.140><c> so</c><00:27:35.140><c> loved</c><00:27:35.559><c> the</c><00:27:36.359><c> world.</c>

00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:39.539
Question<00:27:37.599><c> is,</c><00:27:38.359><c> how?</c>

00:27:40.319 --> 00:27:45.539
Because<00:27:40.680><c> that</c><00:27:41.059><c> impacts</c><00:27:41.740><c> upon</c><00:27:42.559><c> how</c><00:27:43.240><c> we</c><00:27:43.980><c> are</c><00:27:44.420><c> going</c><00:27:44.680><c> to</c><00:27:45.140><c> love</c>

00:27:45.539 --> 00:27:46.039
the<00:27:45.539><c> present</c><00:27:45.539><c> world.</c>

00:27:46.119 --> 00:27:48.299
Love<00:27:46.599><c> the</c><00:27:47.380><c> world.</c>

00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:51.259
Even<00:27:48.519><c> though</c><00:27:48.740><c> this</c><00:27:48.940><c> world,</c><00:27:49.420><c> this</c><00:27:49.420><c> present</c><00:27:49.619><c> world</c><00:27:49.839><c> is</c><00:27:50.259><c> passing</c><00:27:50.619><c> away</c>

00:27:51.259 --> 00:27:54.220
and<00:27:51.759><c> all</c><00:27:52.000><c> of</c><00:27:52.119><c> its</c><00:27:52.359><c> engines</c><00:27:52.720><c> and</c><00:27:53.000><c> so</c><00:27:53.140><c> on</c><00:27:53.299><c> are</c><00:27:53.559><c> tinsel.</c>

00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:59.059
Nonetheless,<00:27:55.859><c> the</c><00:27:55.980><c> Lord</c><00:27:56.259><c> God</c><00:27:56.559><c> loved</c><00:27:56.940><c> and</c><00:27:57.259><c> we</c><00:27:57.720><c> must</c><00:27:58.140><c> love</c><00:27:58.599><c> too.</c>

00:27:59.380 --> 00:28:05.000
For<00:27:59.539><c> the</c><00:27:59.759><c> Lord</c><00:28:00.079><c> God</c><00:28:00.680><c> so</c><00:28:01.160><c> loved</c><00:28:01.339><c> the</c><00:28:01.640><c> world</c><00:28:02.019><c> that</c><00:28:02.680><c> he</c><00:28:03.799><c> gave.</c>

00:28:05.420 --> 00:28:08.180
I<00:28:05.559><c> think</c><00:28:05.700><c> that's</c><00:28:06.819><c> a</c><00:28:06.960><c> first</c><00:28:07.140><c> point</c><00:28:07.579><c> to</c><00:28:07.859><c> make.</c>

00:28:08.500 --> 00:28:11.099
He<00:28:08.759><c> gave</c><00:28:09.299><c> of</c><00:28:09.759><c> himself.</c>

00:28:11.480 --> 00:28:14.000
It<00:28:11.940><c> engaged</c><00:28:12.619><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:28:14.299 --> 00:28:19.059
And<00:28:14.640><c> so</c><00:28:14.859><c> if</c><00:28:15.000><c> we</c><00:28:15.200><c> are</c><00:28:15.359><c> going</c><00:28:15.480><c> to</c><00:28:15.779><c> love</c><00:28:16.059><c> this</c><00:28:16.759><c> present</c><00:28:17.180><c> world</c><00:28:18.140><c> after</c><00:28:18.839><c> the</c>

00:28:19.059 --> 00:28:19.700
manner<00:28:19.200><c> of</c><00:28:19.460><c> God,</c>

00:28:19.900 --> 00:28:22.720
it<00:28:20.099><c> will</c><00:28:20.380><c> require</c><00:28:20.859><c> a</c><00:28:21.059><c> degree</c><00:28:21.539><c> of</c><00:28:22.160><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:28:22.779 --> 00:28:29.920
It<00:28:22.880><c> will</c><00:28:23.160><c> require</c><00:28:23.799><c> a</c><00:28:24.400><c> degree</c><00:28:24.940><c> of</c><00:28:25.380><c> giving</c><00:28:25.700><c> of</c><00:28:26.519><c> ourselves</c><00:28:27.299><c> whatever</c><00:28:28.140><c> resources</c><00:28:28.859><c> we</c>

00:28:29.920 --> 00:28:31.180
have<00:28:30.299><c> got.</c>

00:28:31.299 --> 00:28:35.579
That<00:28:31.460><c> might</c><00:28:31.660><c> be</c><00:28:31.880><c> talent,</c><00:28:32.839><c> it</c><00:28:32.960><c> might</c><00:28:33.279><c> be</c><00:28:33.980><c> time,</c><00:28:34.460><c> it</c><00:28:34.460><c> might</c><00:28:34.720><c> be</c>

00:28:35.579 --> 00:28:36.880
money,<00:28:36.059><c> whatever</c><00:28:36.339><c> it</c><00:28:36.480><c> is.</c>

00:28:37.259 --> 00:28:41.960
But<00:28:37.500><c> the</c><00:28:37.720><c> point</c><00:28:37.900><c> is</c><00:28:38.480><c> the</c><00:28:38.759><c> God</c><00:28:39.319><c> so</c><00:28:39.720><c> loved</c><00:28:39.819><c> the</c><00:28:40.039><c> world</c><00:28:40.140><c> that</c><00:28:40.380><c> he</c><00:28:41.259><c> gave.</c>

00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:46.240
So<00:28:42.819><c> first</c><00:28:43.099><c> thing</c><00:28:43.319><c> then,</c><00:28:43.920><c> it</c><00:28:44.140><c> will</c><00:28:44.400><c> need</c><00:28:44.880><c> giving</c><00:28:45.319><c> of</c><00:28:45.759><c> ourselves.</c>

00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:48.440
What<00:28:47.000><c> was</c><00:28:47.220><c> it</c><00:28:47.339><c> he</c><00:28:47.539><c> gave?</c>

00:28:48.740 --> 00:28:58.339
He<00:28:49.200><c> loved</c><00:28:49.460><c> them</c><00:28:49.920><c> by</c><00:28:50.500><c> giving</c><00:28:51.059><c> them</c><00:28:52.519><c> his</c><00:28:55.160><c> only</c><00:28:56.019><c> begotten</c><00:28:57.380><c> son.</c>

00:28:59.160 --> 00:29:04.619
And<00:28:59.339><c> if</c><00:28:59.440><c> we</c><00:28:59.680><c> will</c><00:28:59.980><c> love</c><00:29:00.519><c> this</c><00:29:00.940><c> present</c><00:29:01.259><c> world</c><00:29:02.180><c> as</c><00:29:03.720><c> the</c><00:29:04.019><c> Father,</c>

00:29:05.039 --> 00:29:07.279
then<00:29:05.420><c> we</c><00:29:05.839><c> must</c><00:29:06.039><c> do</c><00:29:06.200><c> the</c><00:29:06.420><c> same.</c>

00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:11.059
We<00:29:07.700><c> must</c><00:29:08.140><c> know</c><00:29:08.619><c> and</c><00:29:09.119><c> understand</c><00:29:09.920><c> the</c><00:29:10.279><c> mind</c><00:29:10.599><c> of</c><00:29:10.779><c> the</c><00:29:10.900><c> Lord</c>

00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:25.140
Lord<00:29:22.900><c> God</c><00:29:23.299><c> loved</c><00:29:23.799><c> by</c><00:29:24.160><c> giving</c><00:29:24.380><c> his</c><00:29:24.759><c> son.</c>

00:29:25.599 --> 00:29:28.779

00:29:33.700 --> 00:29:36.299
So<00:29:33.839><c> if</c><00:29:33.940><c> we</c><00:29:34.099><c> would</c><00:29:34.279><c> love</c><00:29:34.480><c> the</c><00:29:34.759><c> world,</c><00:29:35.220><c> really</c><00:29:35.559><c> love</c><00:29:35.720><c> the</c><00:29:35.940><c> world</c>

00:29:38.119 --> 00:29:39.960

00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:43.720
God<00:29:41.839><c> so</c><00:29:42.059><c> loved</c><00:29:42.180><c> the</c><00:29:42.420><c> world</c><00:29:42.559><c> that</c><00:29:42.700><c> he</c><00:29:42.799><c> gave</c><00:29:43.000><c> his</c><00:29:43.200><c> only</c><00:29:43.380><c> begotten</c>
