00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:02.500
As<00:15:59.960><c> we</c><00:16:00.159><c> said</c><00:16:00.299><c> in</c><00:16:00.460><c> verse</c><00:16:00.700><c> 3</c><00:16:00.940><c> and</c><00:16:01.080><c> 4,</c><00:16:01.320><c> God's</c><00:16:01.759><c> message</c><00:16:01.980><c> was,</c>

though<00:16:03.019><c> there's</c><00:16:03.279><c> a</c><00:16:03.440><c> famine</c><00:16:03.580><c> in</c><00:16:03.759><c> the</c><00:16:03.919><c> land,</c><00:16:04.240><c> stay</c><00:16:04.600><c> here.</c>

00:16:05.860 --> 00:16:08.620
It<00:16:05.980><c> looks</c><00:16:06.120><c> like</c><00:16:06.360><c> God</c><00:16:06.620><c> saw</c><00:16:07.039><c> the</c><00:16:07.340><c> inclination</c><00:16:07.740><c> of</c><00:16:08.000><c> Isaac</c><00:16:08.220><c> to</c><00:16:08.440><c> run</c>

00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:14.860
Now<00:16:12.379><c> that's</c><00:16:12.659><c> exactly</c><00:16:12.980><c> what</c><00:16:13.120><c> Abraham</c><00:16:13.580><c> and</c><00:16:13.820><c> Lot</c><00:16:13.919><c> had</c><00:16:14.059><c> done</c><00:16:14.460><c> when</c>

00:16:14.860 --> 00:16:16.460

00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:20.259
of<00:16:19.379><c> them.</c>

00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:22.779
God<00:16:20.899><c> saw</c><00:16:21.200><c> that</c><00:16:21.360><c> and</c><00:16:21.440><c> he</c><00:16:21.580><c> said,</c><00:16:21.919><c> don't</c><00:16:22.059><c> go</c><00:16:22.279><c> to</c><00:16:22.440><c> Egypt.</c>

00:16:23.240 --> 00:16:24.980
I<00:16:23.379><c> know</c><00:16:23.600><c> there's</c><00:16:23.820><c> a</c><00:16:23.960><c> famine,</c><00:16:24.100><c> I</c><00:16:24.220><c> know</c><00:16:24.419><c> it's</c><00:16:24.700><c> hard.</c>

00:16:25.379 --> 00:16:27.200
I<00:16:25.419><c> know</c><00:16:25.639><c> it's</c><00:16:25.899><c> a</c><00:16:26.000><c> struggle</c><00:16:26.220><c> to</c><00:16:26.419><c> keep</c><00:16:26.559><c> digging</c><00:16:26.840><c> wells.</c>

00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.580
I<00:16:27.659><c> know</c><00:16:27.860><c> it's</c><00:16:28.139><c> hard</c><00:16:28.299><c> to</c><00:16:28.519><c> keep</c><00:16:28.659><c> feeding</c><00:16:28.919><c> your</c><00:16:29.200><c> flocks,</c><00:16:29.559><c> but</c><00:16:29.879><c> don't</c><00:16:30.340><c> go</c>

to<00:16:30.759><c> Egypt.</c>

00:16:31.139 --> 00:16:32.720
That's<00:16:31.340><c> not</c><00:16:31.580><c> the</c><00:16:31.779><c> solution.</c>

00:16:33.179 --> 00:16:35.299
When<00:16:33.419><c> you're</c><00:16:33.600><c> raising</c><00:16:33.899><c> the</c><00:16:34.120><c> seed</c><00:16:34.179><c> of</c><00:16:34.399><c> Abraham,</c><00:16:34.899><c> sow</c><00:16:35.120><c> your</c><00:16:35.200><c> in</c>

00:16:39.320 --> 00:16:41.500
Says<00:16:40.000><c> God.</c>

00:16:43.659 --> 00:16:48.320
So<00:16:43.820><c> Isaac</c><00:16:44.200><c> decides</c><00:16:45.159><c> to</c><00:16:47.659><c> compromise.</c>

00:16:48.820 --> 00:16:50.379
Look<00:16:48.899><c> at</c><00:16:49.039><c> verse</c><00:16:49.240><c> 6.</c>

00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:54.360
And<00:16:50.960><c> Isaac</c><00:16:51.399><c> dwelt</c><00:16:52.360><c> in</c><00:16:53.320><c> Gera.</c>

00:16:55.100 --> 00:16:56.179
Now<00:16:55.259><c> that</c><00:16:55.419><c> was</c><00:16:55.659><c> a</c><00:16:55.860><c> compromise.</c>

00:16:56.220 --> 00:17:01.299
This<00:16:56.320><c> is</c><00:16:56.500><c> the</c><00:16:56.659><c> only</c><00:16:57.039><c> time</c><00:16:57.360><c> in</c><00:16:57.700><c> 180</c><00:16:58.580><c> years</c><00:16:59.080><c> of</c><00:16:59.360><c> Isaac's</c><00:16:59.980><c> life</c><00:17:00.460><c> that</c><00:17:01.059><c> he</c>

00:17:08.220 --> 00:17:10.579

This<00:17:39.920><c> is</c><00:17:40.059><c> very</c><00:17:40.259><c> interesting,</c><00:17:40.720><c> isn't</c><00:17:40.839><c> it?</c>

00:17:41.980 --> 00:17:45.299
Isaac<00:17:42.339><c> had</c><00:17:42.599><c> not</c><00:17:42.779><c> been</c><00:17:43.000><c> around</c><00:17:43.559><c> on</c><00:17:44.079><c> the</c><00:17:44.259><c> two</c><00:17:44.440><c> previous</c><00:17:44.819><c> occasions</c>

00:17:45.299 --> 00:17:48.319
that<00:17:45.539><c> Abraham</c><00:17:45.940><c> had</c><00:17:46.200><c> fallen</c><00:17:46.420><c> for</c><00:17:46.619><c> this</c><00:17:46.839><c> strategy</c><00:17:47.319><c> of</c><00:17:48.119><c> saying</c>

00:17:48.319 --> 00:17:50.579
that<00:17:48.619><c> Sarah</c><00:17:48.940><c> is</c><00:17:49.200><c> my</c><00:17:49.480><c> wife.</c>

00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:54.259
But<00:17:52.380><c> I</c><00:17:52.579><c> believe</c><00:17:52.759><c> he</c><00:17:52.900><c> heard</c><00:17:53.079><c> the</c><00:17:53.339><c> story</c><00:17:53.559><c> from</c><00:17:53.779><c> the</c><00:17:54.019><c> servants.</c>

00:17:54.299 --> 00:17:56.140
That<00:17:54.400><c> would</c><00:17:54.559><c> have</c><00:17:54.720><c> been</c><00:17:54.839><c> something</c><00:17:55.180><c> that</c><00:17:55.299><c> had</c><00:17:55.440><c> been</c><00:17:55.660><c> spoken</c><00:17:55.940><c> about</c>

00:17:56.140 --> 00:17:58.000
in<00:17:56.299><c> the</c><00:17:56.480><c> camp</c><00:17:56.599><c> of</c><00:17:56.839><c> Abraham</c><00:17:57.160><c> over</c><00:17:57.460><c> many</c><00:17:57.720><c> years.</c>

00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:01.819
Why<00:17:58.519><c> was</c><00:17:58.839><c> it</c><00:17:58.980><c> that</c><00:17:59.279><c> twice</c><00:17:59.559><c> Abraham</c><00:18:00.039><c> resorted</c><00:18:00.339><c> to</c><00:18:00.519><c> this</c><00:18:00.680><c> strategy?</c>

00:18:03.619 --> 00:18:06.460
Isaac<00:18:03.880><c> knew</c><00:18:04.240><c> that</c><00:18:04.440><c> God</c><00:18:04.619><c> never</c><00:18:04.940><c> approved</c><00:18:05.279><c> of</c><00:18:05.400><c> what</c><00:18:05.519><c> Abraham</c><00:18:05.900><c> did.</c>

00:18:06.740 --> 00:18:07.619
So<00:18:06.920><c> why</c><00:18:07.259><c> do</c><00:18:07.460><c> it?</c>

00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:10.940
Why<00:18:07.940><c> was</c><00:18:08.180><c> it</c><00:18:08.299><c> that</c><00:18:08.440><c> he</c><00:18:08.779><c> instinctively,</c><00:18:09.220><c> when</c><00:18:09.319><c> he</c><00:18:09.440><c> was</c><00:18:09.579><c> put</c><00:18:09.740><c> under</c><00:18:10.039><c> pressure</c><00:18:10.339><c> in</c><00:18:10.599><c> Gera,</c>

00:18:11.420 --> 00:18:14.279
that<00:18:11.559><c> he</c><00:18:11.799><c> resorts</c><00:18:12.059><c> to</c><00:18:12.220><c> the</c><00:18:12.500><c> same</c><00:18:12.799><c> strategy</c><00:18:13.180><c> as</c><00:18:13.420><c> Abraham?</c>

00:18:15.799 --> 00:18:17.519
Well,<00:18:16.059><c> he</c><00:18:16.140><c> was</c><00:18:16.339><c> afraid.</c>

00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:21.839
He<00:18:20.000><c> didn't</c><00:18:20.200><c> really</c><00:18:20.519><c> believe</c><00:18:20.839><c> that</c><00:18:21.019><c> God</c><00:18:21.220><c> would</c><00:18:21.339><c> look</c><00:18:21.539><c> after</c>

00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:24.160
him<00:18:22.500><c> and</c><00:18:22.839><c> Rebekah.</c>

00:18:25.420 --> 00:18:27.519
And<00:18:25.940><c> it</c><00:18:26.059><c> is</c><00:18:26.299><c> a</c><00:18:26.400><c> sad</c><00:18:26.559><c> fact,</c><00:18:27.000><c> brethren</c><00:18:27.099><c> and</c><00:18:27.339><c> sisters,</c>

00:18:27.599 --> 00:18:32.539
that<00:18:27.740><c> sometimes</c><00:18:28.380><c> our</c><00:18:28.720><c> weaknesses</c><00:18:29.259><c> are</c><00:18:31.000><c> instinctively</c><00:18:31.839><c> picked</c><00:18:32.099><c> up</c><00:18:32.299><c> by</c>

00:18:32.539 --> 00:18:33.700
our<00:18:32.759><c> children.</c>

00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:38.839
Be<00:18:35.799><c> very,</c><00:18:36.099><c> very</c><00:18:36.339><c> careful</c><00:18:36.680><c> about</c><00:18:36.980><c> your</c><00:18:37.259><c> personal</c><00:18:37.700><c> example,</c>

00:18:39.140 --> 00:18:40.539
your<00:18:39.400><c> honesty.</c>

00:18:41.819 --> 00:18:45.440
Never<00:18:42.099><c> boast</c><00:18:42.420><c> about</c><00:18:42.980><c> how</c><00:18:43.319><c> you</c><00:18:43.519><c> can</c><00:18:43.720><c> evade</c><00:18:44.099><c> tax</c><00:18:44.619><c> to</c><00:18:44.960><c> your</c><00:18:45.180><c> children.</c>

00:18:45.500 --> 00:18:46.940
What<00:18:45.640><c> do</c><00:18:45.759><c> you</c><00:18:45.859><c> think</c><00:18:46.000><c> they're</c><00:18:46.259><c> going</c><00:18:46.380><c> to</c><00:18:46.539><c> learn</c><00:18:46.640><c> when</c><00:18:46.759><c> they</c>

00:18:46.940 --> 00:18:48.839
hear<00:18:47.059><c> you</c><00:18:47.299><c> talking</c><00:18:47.519><c> like</c><00:18:47.880><c> that?</c>

00:18:49.140 --> 00:18:52.240
Don't<00:18:49.680><c> make</c><00:18:49.880><c> your</c><00:18:50.180><c> house</c><00:18:50.440><c> a</c><00:18:50.579><c> house</c><00:18:50.880><c> where</c><00:18:51.380><c> the</c><00:18:51.599><c> ecclesia</c><00:18:51.980><c> is</c>

00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:54.400
dissected<00:18:52.859><c> and</c><00:18:52.940><c> pulled</c><00:18:53.160><c> apart.</c>

00:18:55.339 --> 00:18:59.920
Make<00:18:55.480><c> it</c><00:18:55.640><c> a</c><00:18:55.779><c> principle</c><00:18:56.059><c> never</c><00:18:56.420><c> to</c><00:18:56.680><c> gossip,</c><00:18:59.180><c> particularly</c><00:18:59.519><c> never</c><00:18:59.839><c> in</c>

00:18:59.920 --> 00:19:01.359
front<00:19:00.059><c> of</c><00:19:00.220><c> your</c><00:19:00.420><c> children.</c>

00:19:02.579 --> 00:19:05.759
I've<00:19:02.920><c> seen</c><00:19:03.140><c> children</c><00:19:03.660><c> brought</c><00:19:03.920><c> up</c><00:19:04.099><c> in</c><00:19:04.259><c> homes</c><00:19:04.500><c> like</c><00:19:04.900><c> that</c>

00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:08.680
who<00:19:06.279><c> instinctively</c><00:19:07.079><c> despise</c><00:19:07.839><c> their</c><00:19:08.039><c> brethren</c><00:19:08.279><c> and</c><00:19:08.500><c> sisters</c>

00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:11.099
because<00:19:08.940><c> I've</c><00:19:09.180><c> heard</c><00:19:09.299><c> the</c><00:19:09.660><c> parents</c><00:19:09.920><c> criticising</c><00:19:10.539><c> them.</c>

00:19:11.500 --> 00:19:15.339
Always<00:19:11.960><c> honour</c><00:19:12.460><c> other</c><00:19:13.160><c> adults</c><00:19:13.500><c> in</c><00:19:13.700><c> the</c><00:19:13.839><c> eyes</c><00:19:14.000><c> of</c><00:19:14.160><c> your</c><00:19:14.380><c> children.</c>

00:19:17.059 --> 00:19:18.440
Don't<00:19:17.500><c> rehearse</c><00:19:17.940><c> your</c><00:19:18.200><c> past.</c>

00:19:18.500 --> 00:19:21.740
Don't<00:19:18.700><c> go</c><00:19:18.900><c> over</c><00:19:19.099><c> the</c><00:19:19.339><c> things</c><00:19:19.500><c> you</c><00:19:19.759><c> used</c><00:19:20.079><c> to</c><00:19:20.279><c> do</c><00:19:20.859><c> before</c><00:19:21.180><c> you</c><00:19:21.380><c> came</c><00:19:21.579><c> in</c>

00:19:21.740 --> 00:19:22.900
the<00:19:21.980><c> truth.</c>

00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:28.599
You<00:19:24.359><c> will</c><00:19:24.660><c> find</c><00:19:24.960><c> your</c><00:19:25.259><c> children</c><00:19:25.539><c> instinctively</c><00:19:26.480><c> copy</c><00:19:26.960><c> the</c><00:19:27.779><c> worst</c><00:19:28.059><c> parts</c><00:19:28.400><c> of</c>

your<00:19:28.799><c> behaviour.</c>

00:19:30.559 --> 00:19:32.859
It's<00:19:30.680><c> like</c><00:19:30.839><c> the</c><00:19:31.059><c> father</c><00:19:31.299><c> telling</c><00:19:31.539><c> his</c><00:19:31.940><c> son,</c>

00:19:33.180 --> 00:19:35.799
now<00:19:33.339><c> that</c><00:19:33.460><c> you've</c><00:19:33.599><c> got</c><00:19:33.700><c> a</c><00:19:33.920><c> car,</c><00:19:34.279><c> son,</c><00:19:34.599><c> be</c><00:19:34.759><c> a</c><00:19:34.859><c> very</c><00:19:35.180><c> careful</c><00:19:35.460><c> driver,</c>

00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:39.640
the<00:19:38.319><c> back</c><00:19:38.559><c> seat</c><00:19:38.720><c> watching</c><00:19:39.039><c> his</c><00:19:39.339><c> dad</c>

00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:41.960
driving<00:19:40.240><c> like</c><00:19:40.619><c> Ji</c><00:19:40.960><c> Hu.</c>

00:19:42.400 --> 00:19:44.319
Do<00:19:42.920><c> you</c><00:19:42.960><c> think</c><00:19:43.079><c> he's</c><00:19:43.259><c> going</c><00:19:43.400><c> to</c><00:19:43.559><c> listen?</c>

00:19:44.940 --> 00:19:47.900
He's<00:19:45.339><c> instinctively</c><00:19:45.880><c> going</c><00:19:46.039><c> to</c><00:19:46.220><c> follow</c><00:19:46.339><c> what</c><00:19:46.500><c> his</c><00:19:46.720><c> father</c><00:19:46.980><c> did.</c>

00:19:48.700 --> 00:19:51.880
And<00:19:48.839><c> you</c><00:19:49.039><c> see</c><00:19:49.200><c> our</c><00:19:49.380><c> children</c><00:19:49.660><c> instinctively</c><00:19:50.500><c> pick</c><00:19:50.740><c> up</c><00:19:50.960><c> the</c><00:19:51.200><c> worst</c><00:19:51.440><c> parts</c><00:19:51.740><c> of</c>

00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:52.279
our<00:19:52.119><c> character</c>

00:19:52.279 --> 00:19:54.200
because<00:19:52.440><c> that's</c><00:19:52.759><c> the</c><00:19:52.980><c> natural</c><00:19:53.299><c> thing</c><00:19:53.500><c> to</c><00:19:53.700><c> do.</c>

00:19:54.619 --> 00:19:58.099
And<00:19:54.920><c> Isaac,</c><00:19:56.079><c> having</c><00:19:56.319><c> heard</c><00:19:56.660><c> those</c><00:19:56.960><c> stories</c><00:19:57.200><c> and</c><00:19:57.380><c> even</c><00:19:57.640><c> knowing</c><00:19:57.960><c> that</c>

00:19:58.099 --> 00:19:59.200
it<00:19:58.200><c> was</c><00:19:58.440><c> not</c><00:19:58.759><c> fruitful,</c>

00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:02.279
fell<00:19:59.680><c> for</c><00:19:59.859><c> the</c><00:20:00.279><c> same</c><00:20:00.579><c> strategy</c><00:20:00.980><c> as</c><00:20:01.160><c> his</c><00:20:01.339><c> father.</c>

00:20:05.380 --> 00:20:06.859
And<00:20:05.660><c> again,</c><00:20:05.980><c> it</c><00:20:06.059><c> was</c><00:20:06.279><c> a</c><00:20:06.460><c> disaster.</c>

00:20:06.859 --> 00:20:09.599

00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:09.860

there's<00:35:13.940><c> hatred</c><00:35:14.300><c> now</c><00:35:14.519><c> because</c>

00:35:15.099 --> 00:35:17.800
