Now<00:13:38.919><c> there's</c><00:13:39.179><c> something</c><00:13:39.360><c> strange</c><00:13:39.940><c> about</c><00:13:40.179><c> the</c><00:13:40.440><c> time</c><00:13:40.860><c> in</c><00:13:41.299><c> which</c>

00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.159

00:13:49.220 --> 00:13:52.539
The<00:13:49.740><c> general</c><00:13:50.159><c> impression</c><00:13:50.799><c> you</c><00:13:51.139><c> get,</c><00:13:51.519><c> you</c><00:13:51.899><c> know,</c><00:13:52.100><c> when</c><00:13:52.299><c> people</c>

00:13:52.539 --> 00:13:54.440
come<00:13:52.759><c> to</c><00:13:52.899><c> the</c><00:13:53.059><c> meeting,</c><00:13:53.559><c> I'm</c><00:13:53.720><c> talking</c><00:13:53.799><c> about</c><00:13:53.940><c> everybody,</c>

00:13:54.580 --> 00:13:55.240
including<00:13:54.820><c> myself,</c>

00:13:55.539 --> 00:13:59.899
the<00:13:55.679><c> general</c><00:13:56.059><c> impression</c><00:13:56.639><c> you</c><00:13:56.899><c> get</c><00:13:57.200><c> is</c><00:13:57.659><c> that</c><00:13:57.820><c> we</c><00:13:58.059><c> are</c><00:13:58.179><c> not</c><00:13:58.779><c> expecting</c><00:13:59.580><c> the</c>

00:13:59.899 --> 00:14:02.399
Lord<00:14:00.139><c> Jesus</c><00:14:00.580><c> Christ</c><00:14:01.159><c> today.</c>

00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:04.980
That's<00:14:04.220><c> the</c><00:14:04.360><c> impression,</c><00:14:04.679><c> isn't</c><00:14:04.820><c> it?</c>

00:14:04.980 --> 00:14:06.919
I<00:14:05.139><c> mean,</c><00:14:06.100><c> we've</c><00:14:06.379><c> all</c><00:14:06.539><c> got</c><00:14:06.759><c> that.</c>

00:14:06.980 --> 00:14:08.360
We're<00:14:07.080><c> not</c><00:14:07.279><c> expecting</c><00:14:07.639><c> him</c><00:14:07.899><c> today.</c>

00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:13.039
In<00:14:08.820><c> fact,</c><00:14:09.700><c> we</c><00:14:09.820><c> live</c><00:14:10.080><c> as</c><00:14:10.320><c> though</c><00:14:10.759><c> life</c><00:14:11.059><c> is</c><00:14:11.279><c> going</c><00:14:11.399><c> to</c><00:14:11.559><c> go</c><00:14:11.799><c> on</c><00:14:12.259><c> until</c><00:14:12.740><c> we</c>

00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.700
die,<00:14:14.500><c> and</c><00:14:14.600><c> the</c><00:14:14.720><c> Son</c><00:14:14.860><c> of</c><00:14:14.980><c> Man</c><00:14:15.080><c> will</c><00:14:15.320><c> come,</c><00:14:15.659><c> but</c><00:14:15.980><c> it's</c><00:14:16.360><c> not</c><00:14:16.539><c> going</c>

00:14:16.700 --> 00:14:17.899
to<00:14:16.779><c> be</c><00:14:16.980><c> yet.</c>

00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:19.820
Now,<00:14:18.860><c> I</c><00:14:19.019><c> wonder</c><00:14:19.139><c> why</c><00:14:19.299><c> that</c><00:14:19.539><c> is.</c>

00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:23.379
That's<00:14:20.159><c> not</c><00:14:20.360><c> how,</c><00:14:20.659><c> I'm</c><00:14:21.000><c> sure,</c><00:14:21.419><c> that</c><00:14:21.500><c> is</c><00:14:21.759><c> not</c><00:14:22.139><c> how</c><00:14:22.860><c> they</c><00:14:23.179><c> felt</c>

00:14:23.379 --> 00:14:24.279
in<00:14:23.539><c> the</c><00:14:23.679><c> first</c><00:14:23.879><c> century,</c>

00:14:24.340 --> 00:14:26.960
and<00:14:24.500><c> it's</c><00:14:24.600><c> not</c><00:14:24.779><c> how</c><00:14:24.899><c> they</c><00:14:25.120><c> felt,</c><00:14:25.659><c> I'm</c><00:14:25.919><c> sure,</c><00:14:26.419><c> when</c><00:14:26.600><c> the</c><00:14:26.820><c> truth</c>

00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:28.980
came<00:14:27.220><c> to</c><00:14:27.379><c> light</c><00:14:27.659><c> in</c><00:14:27.960><c> the</c><00:14:28.059><c> time</c><00:14:28.220><c> of</c><00:14:28.340><c> Brother</c><00:14:28.480><c> Thomas</c><00:14:28.799><c> or</c>

Brother<00:14:29.240><c> Roberts.</c>

00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.000
What's<00:14:31.419><c> happened</c><00:14:31.580><c> then,</c><00:14:31.799><c> do</c><00:14:31.919><c> you</c><00:14:32.100><c> think?</c>

00:14:34.779 --> 00:14:37.200
Let<00:14:35.100><c> me</c><00:14:35.200><c> just</c><00:14:35.379><c> take</c><00:14:35.639><c> two</c><00:14:35.960><c> things,</c><00:14:36.399><c> first</c><00:14:36.679><c> of</c><00:14:36.860><c> all.</c>

00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:48.500
Anybody<00:14:38.360><c> here</c><00:14:38.799><c> who</c><00:14:39.000><c> is</c><00:14:41.200><c> older</c><00:14:41.960><c> than</c><00:14:43.500><c> 47,</c><00:14:45.679><c> 48</c><00:14:46.340><c> is</c><00:14:47.799><c> a</c><00:14:48.200><c> different</c>

00:14:53.620 --> 00:14:55.899
to<00:14:54.120><c> 47,</c><00:14:55.000><c> 48.</c>

00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.580
You<00:14:56.159><c> see,</c><00:14:56.539><c> for</c><00:14:56.600><c> those</c><00:14:56.820><c> who</c><00:14:57.039><c> are</c><00:14:57.320><c> in</c><00:14:57.399><c> that</c><00:14:57.860><c> other</c><00:14:58.100><c> age</c><00:14:58.379><c> bracket,</c>

00:14:58.659 --> 00:15:02.720
the<00:14:58.820><c> lower</c><00:14:59.179><c> age</c><00:14:59.580><c> bracket,</c><00:15:00.019><c> there</c><00:15:00.240><c> has</c><00:15:00.559><c> always</c><00:15:01.019><c> been</c><00:15:01.399><c> an</c><00:15:01.799><c> Israel.</c>

00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:06.340
That<00:15:04.879><c> isn't</c><00:15:05.360><c> true</c><00:15:05.580><c> for</c><00:15:05.759><c> the</c><00:15:05.879><c> older</c><00:15:06.059><c> people.</c>

00:15:06.360 --> 00:15:08.000
There<00:15:06.480><c> wasn't</c><00:15:06.840><c> an</c><00:15:07.080><c> Israel.</c>

00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:09.019
Not<00:15:08.500><c> at</c><00:15:08.740><c> all.</c>

00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:11.100
And<00:15:09.379><c> therefore,</c><00:15:09.519><c> when</c><00:15:09.700><c> Israel</c><00:15:10.000><c> came,</c><00:15:10.320><c> it</c><00:15:10.360><c> was</c><00:15:10.620><c> a</c><00:15:10.779><c> sign.</c>

00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:13.720
Now<00:15:11.639><c> it's</c><00:15:11.899><c> just</c><00:15:12.500><c> one</c><00:15:13.120><c> of</c><00:15:13.220><c> those</c><00:15:13.460><c> things.</c>

00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:17.620
They're<00:15:13.940><c> there,</c><00:15:14.940><c> and</c><00:15:14.940><c> they've</c><00:15:15.299><c> been</c><00:15:15.460><c> there</c><00:15:15.700><c> all</c><00:15:16.120><c> my</c><00:15:16.379><c> life.</c>

00:15:17.740 --> 00:15:20.360
And<00:15:17.960><c> consequently,</c><00:15:18.580><c> we</c><00:15:18.899><c> take</c><00:15:19.220><c> for</c><00:15:19.440><c> granted</c><00:15:19.759><c> the</c><00:15:20.039><c> things</c><00:15:20.179><c> that</c>

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:20.700
we've<00:15:20.620><c> got.</c>

00:15:20.779 --> 00:15:21.919
It's<00:15:20.860><c> like</c><00:15:20.940><c> being</c><00:15:21.200><c> married,</c><00:15:21.580><c> isn't</c><00:15:21.700><c> it?</c>

00:15:22.139 --> 00:15:24.740
You<00:15:22.279><c> can</c><00:15:22.460><c> take</c><00:15:22.580><c> your</c><00:15:22.779><c> partner</c><00:15:23.019><c> for</c><00:15:23.320><c> granted,</c><00:15:24.259><c> or</c><00:15:24.340><c> your</c><00:15:24.500><c> home</c>

00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:28.139
You<00:15:25.460><c> take</c><00:15:25.559><c> your</c><00:15:25.740><c> job</c><00:15:26.000><c> for</c><00:15:26.279><c> granted</c><00:15:26.519><c> sometimes,</c><00:15:27.740><c> except</c><00:15:28.019><c> that</c>

00:15:31.139 --> 00:15:34.720
The<00:15:31.580><c> second</c><00:15:31.840><c> thing</c><00:15:32.080><c> is,</c><00:15:32.879><c> and</c><00:15:33.240><c> I</c><00:15:33.480><c> don't</c><00:15:33.639><c> know</c><00:15:33.759><c> whether</c><00:15:33.799><c> you</c><00:15:33.919><c> will</c><00:15:34.019><c> agree</c><00:15:34.179><c> with</c><00:15:34.399><c> this,</c><00:15:34.620><c> but</c>

00:20:14.720 --> 00:20:17.859

00:20:18.339 --> 00:20:21.440
we've<00:20:18.779><c> got</c><00:20:18.900><c> part</c><00:20:19.140><c> of</c><00:20:19.220><c> them</c><00:20:19.380><c> now</c><00:20:19.660><c> ingrained</c><00:20:20.240><c> into</c><00:20:20.480><c> our</c><00:20:20.660><c> way</c><00:20:20.799><c> of</c><00:20:21.039><c> life,</c>

00:20:21.440 --> 00:20:24.079

but<00:20:59.960><c> that's</c><00:21:00.119><c> how</c><00:21:00.279><c> it</c><00:21:00.460><c> is.</c><00:21:01.240><c> That's</c><00:21:01.599><c> the</c><00:21:01.720><c> world</c><00:21:01.880><c> in</c><00:21:02.000><c> which</c><00:21:02.119><c> we</c><00:21:02.319><c> live.</c>

00:21:02.619 --> 00:21:05.680
I<00:21:02.700><c> don't</c><00:21:02.799><c> know</c><00:21:02.859><c> what</c><00:21:02.980><c> the</c><00:21:03.180><c> percentage</c><00:21:03.440><c> is</c><00:21:03.799><c> over</c><00:21:04.180><c> here,</c><00:21:05.220><c> but</c><00:21:05.220><c> it</c>

00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:07.420
varies<00:21:05.839><c> from</c><00:21:06.079><c> place</c><00:21:06.240><c> to</c><00:21:06.440><c> place,</c><00:21:06.819><c> doesn't</c><00:21:06.960><c> it?</c>

00:21:07.579 --> 00:21:09.400
And<00:21:07.799><c> it's</c><00:21:08.180><c> pretty</c><00:21:08.480><c> high.</c>

00:21:09.799 --> 00:21:12.799
Of<00:21:09.980><c> the</c><00:21:10.339><c> young</c><00:21:10.539><c> men</c><00:21:10.839><c> in</c><00:21:11.160><c> San</c><00:21:11.400><c> Francisco,</c><00:21:11.779><c> between</c><00:21:12.099><c> 20</c><00:21:12.380><c> and</c><00:21:12.500><c> 40,</c>

00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:16.700
more<00:21:13.119><c> than</c><00:21:13.299><c> 50</c><00:21:13.640><c>%</c><00:21:14.299><c> are</c><00:21:14.700><c> in</c><00:21:14.819><c> fact</c><00:21:15.059><c> HIV</c><00:21:15.559><c> positive.</c>

00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:20.380
That's<00:21:17.480><c> an</c><00:21:17.640><c> astonishing</c><00:21:18.119><c> figure,</c><00:21:18.619><c> isn't</c><00:21:18.619><c> it?</c><00:21:19.000><c> Absolutely</c><00:21:19.339><c> astonishing.</c>

00:21:20.940 --> 00:21:25.519
And<00:21:20.940><c> so</c><00:21:21.519><c> that's</c><00:21:22.680><c> one</c><00:21:22.819><c> of</c><00:21:22.940><c> the</c><00:21:23.119><c> lower</c><00:21:23.339><c> end</c><00:21:23.740><c> of</c><00:21:24.599><c> the</c><00:21:24.880><c> things</c><00:21:25.140><c> in</c>

00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:27.180
the<00:21:25.660><c> world</c><00:21:25.799><c> in</c><00:21:25.920><c> which</c><00:21:26.099><c> we</c><00:21:26.339><c> live.</c>

00:21:27.200 --> 00:21:30.420
So<00:21:27.680><c> what</c><00:21:28.099><c> we</c><00:21:28.380><c> want</c><00:21:28.579><c> to</c><00:21:28.839><c> do</c><00:21:28.980><c> during</c><00:21:29.240><c> this</c><00:21:29.460><c> time</c><00:21:29.660><c> that</c><00:21:29.819><c> we're</c><00:21:29.980><c> together</c>

00:21:30.420 --> 00:21:34.700
is<00:21:31.059><c> not</c><00:21:31.200><c> to</c><00:21:31.339><c> talk</c><00:21:31.460><c> about</c><00:21:31.700><c> those</c><00:21:32.039><c> things</c><00:21:32.420><c> that</c><00:21:32.759><c> are</c><00:21:33.980><c> true,</c><00:21:34.559><c> but</c>

00:21:34.700 --> 00:21:36.660
they're<00:21:35.039><c> not</c><00:21:35.279><c> convenient</c><00:21:35.759><c> to</c><00:21:36.019><c> talk</c><00:21:36.200><c> about,</c>

00:21:37.140 --> 00:21:38.660
although<00:21:37.240><c> I</c><00:21:37.400><c> shall</c><00:21:37.500><c> mention</c><00:21:37.740><c> one</c><00:21:37.940><c> or</c><00:21:38.000><c> two</c><00:21:38.200><c> of</c><00:21:38.339><c> them,</c>

00:21:38.799 --> 00:21:42.380
but<00:21:39.099><c> rather</c><00:21:39.660><c> that</c><00:21:40.279><c> you</c><00:21:40.460><c> and</c><00:21:40.660><c> I</c><00:21:40.960><c> are</c><00:21:41.099><c> going</c><00:21:41.200><c> to</c><00:21:41.480><c> decide,</c><00:21:41.839><c> and</c><00:21:41.920><c> we're</c><00:21:42.140><c> going</c><00:21:42.180><c> to</c>

00:21:42.380 --> 00:21:43.700
decide<00:21:42.799><c> this</c><00:21:43.160><c> weekend,</c>

00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:48.900
that<00:21:44.400><c> what</c><00:21:44.680><c> it</c><00:21:45.019><c> takes</c><00:21:45.380><c> to</c><00:21:45.599><c> get</c><00:21:45.680><c> us</c><00:21:45.920><c> out</c><00:21:46.240><c> of</c><00:21:46.400><c> the</c><00:21:46.619><c> people</c><00:21:46.920><c> who</c><00:21:47.119><c> will</c><00:21:47.339><c> not</c><00:21:47.539><c> get</c><00:21:47.779><c> into</c><00:21:47.960><c> the</c><00:21:48.119><c> Kingdom</c><00:21:48.359><c> of</c><00:21:48.579><c> God,</c>

00:21:49.140 --> 00:21:51.579
into<00:21:49.339><c> the</c><00:21:49.559><c> people</c><00:21:49.740><c> who</c><00:21:50.039><c> will,</c><00:21:50.539><c> we're</c><00:21:50.759><c> going</c><00:21:50.880><c> to</c><00:21:51.079><c> seek</c><00:21:51.259><c> after.</c>

00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:53.339
That's<00:21:51.779><c> what</c><00:21:51.880><c> we've</c><00:21:52.039><c> got</c><00:21:52.140><c> to</c><00:21:52.259><c> do,</c><00:21:52.500><c> isn't</c><00:21:52.619><c> it?</c>

00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:57.079
And<00:21:53.980><c> it's</c><00:21:54.240><c> not</c><00:21:54.380><c> going</c><00:21:54.539><c> to</c><00:21:54.640><c> be</c><00:21:54.779><c> by</c><00:21:55.099><c> some</c><00:21:55.359><c> clever,</c><00:21:56.039><c> slick,</c><00:21:56.480><c> gimmicky</c><00:21:56.819><c> thing</c>

00:21:57.079 --> 00:21:57.660
at<00:21:57.319><c> all.</c>

00:21:58.039 --> 00:22:00.880
You'll<00:21:58.259><c> discover</c><00:21:58.579><c> that</c><00:21:58.759><c> it's</c><00:21:58.880><c> by</c><00:21:59.200><c> simple,</c><00:22:00.160><c> straightforward</c>

00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:02.940
things<00:22:01.339><c> that</c><00:22:01.500><c> we</c><00:22:01.680><c> already</c><00:22:01.980><c> know.</c>

00:22:03.940 --> 00:22:08.039
So<00:22:04.140><c> when</c><00:22:04.299><c> I</c><00:22:04.460><c> gave</c><00:22:04.579><c> this</c><00:22:04.839><c> title</c><00:22:05.220><c> to</c><00:22:06.039><c> the</c><00:22:06.180><c> address,</c><00:22:06.920><c> Where</c><00:22:07.160><c> is</c><00:22:07.339><c> the</c><00:22:07.539><c> Fire</c><00:22:07.839><c> of</c>

00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:09.539
our<00:22:08.240><c> Early</c><00:22:08.579><c> Brethren,</c>

00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:11.400
then<00:22:09.900><c> you</c><00:22:10.220><c> can</c><00:22:10.359><c> imagine</c><00:22:10.599><c> that</c><00:22:10.779><c> there</c><00:22:10.859><c> were</c><00:22:10.980><c> quite</c><00:22:11.119><c> a</c><00:22:11.240><c> number</c>

00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:12.579
of<00:22:11.559><c> people</c><00:22:11.779><c> who</c><00:22:12.039><c> right</c><00:22:12.240><c> away</c><00:22:12.440><c> said,</c>

00:22:12.579 --> 00:22:14.859
well,<00:22:12.819><c> this</c><00:22:13.000><c> is</c><00:22:13.240><c> great,</c><00:22:13.700><c> because</c><00:22:13.920><c> now</c><00:22:14.140><c> we're</c><00:22:14.319><c> going</c><00:22:14.440><c> to</c><00:22:14.599><c> hear</c>

00:22:14.859 --> 00:22:16.420
about<00:22:15.319><c> how</c><00:22:15.480><c> we</c><00:22:15.660><c> should</c><00:22:15.779><c> get</c><00:22:16.059><c> back,</c>

00:22:16.500 --> 00:22:19.799
for<00:22:16.819><c> example,</c><00:22:17.940><c> to</c><00:22:18.039><c> the</c><00:22:18.180><c> days</c><00:22:18.299><c> of</c><00:22:18.740><c> Brother</c><00:22:18.960><c> Thomas</c><00:22:19.220><c> or</c><00:22:19.400><c> the</c><00:22:19.500><c> days</c><00:22:19.640><c> of</c>

00:22:19.799 --> 00:22:20.279
Brother<00:22:19.960><c> Roberts.</c>

00:22:20.299 --> 00:22:22.140
And<00:22:20.440><c> it</c><00:22:20.500><c> would</c><00:22:20.619><c> be</c><00:22:20.759><c> a</c><00:22:20.880><c> good</c><00:22:21.019><c> thing</c><00:22:21.220><c> if</c><00:22:21.299><c> we</c><00:22:21.359><c> could</c><00:22:21.500><c> get</c><00:22:21.660><c> back</c><00:22:21.859><c> to</c>

00:22:22.140 --> 00:22:22.720
that<00:22:22.400><c> time,</c>

00:22:22.740 --> 00:22:26.200
because<00:22:23.200><c> then</c><00:22:23.960><c> everything</c><00:22:24.460><c> will</c><00:22:24.619><c> be</c><00:22:24.779><c> going</c><00:22:24.980><c> for</c><00:22:25.299><c> us.</c>

00:22:27.019 --> 00:22:28.519
Now<00:22:27.160><c> is</c><00:22:27.220><c> that</c><00:22:27.480><c> true?</c>

00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:33.640
You<00:22:30.220><c> see,</c><00:22:30.400><c> there's</c><00:22:30.640><c> a</c><00:22:30.779><c> verse</c><00:22:31.180><c> in</c><00:22:31.519><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:22:32.180><c> that</c><00:22:32.460><c> says</c><00:22:32.680><c> this,</c>

00:22:34.099 --> 00:22:38.920
Say<00:22:34.539><c> not</c><00:22:34.980><c> of</c><00:22:35.259><c> the</c><00:22:35.519><c> former</c><00:22:35.799><c> times</c><00:22:36.480><c> that</c><00:22:38.019><c> they</c><00:22:38.240><c> were</c><00:22:38.440><c> better</c>

00:22:38.920 --> 00:22:39.859
than<00:22:39.299><c> these,</c>

00:22:39.859 --> 00:22:44.119
for<00:22:40.579><c> in</c><00:22:40.819><c> that</c><00:22:41.400><c> thou</c><00:22:41.640><c> dost</c><00:22:41.960><c> not</c><00:22:42.259><c> inquire</c><00:22:42.720><c> wisely.</c>

00:22:45.279 --> 00:22:49.900
So<00:22:45.619><c> we</c><00:22:45.839><c> are</c><00:22:46.019><c> warned</c><00:22:46.519><c> about</c><00:22:47.779><c> saying</c><00:22:48.539><c> that</c><00:22:48.859><c> the</c><00:22:49.079><c> other</c><00:22:49.359><c> days</c>

00:22:49.900 --> 00:22:52.640
were<00:22:50.380><c> better</c><00:22:50.799><c> than</c><00:22:51.140><c> these</c><00:22:51.539><c> days.</c>

00:22:52.920 --> 00:22:55.779
That's<00:22:53.319><c> what</c><00:22:53.539><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:22:54.160><c> warns</c><00:22:54.779><c> us</c><00:22:55.019><c> for</c><00:22:55.200><c> a</c><00:22:55.420><c> particular</c>

00:22:58.319 --> 00:23:01.140
Because<00:22:58.579><c> sometimes</c><00:22:59.160><c> the</c><00:22:59.579><c> days</c><00:22:59.779><c> were</c><00:23:00.079><c> not</c><00:23:00.319><c> like</c><00:23:00.539><c> people</c><00:23:00.900><c> say</c>

00:23:01.140 --> 00:23:02.400
they<00:23:01.400><c> were.</c>

00:23:02.859 --> 00:23:05.880
As<00:23:02.920><c> people</c><00:23:03.079><c> get</c><00:23:03.299><c> older,</c><00:23:03.960><c> then</c><00:23:04.240><c> they</c><00:23:04.400><c> have</c><00:23:04.599><c> dreams</c><00:23:05.000><c> about</c><00:23:05.299><c> the</c><00:23:05.519><c> past</c>

00:23:05.880 --> 00:23:09.900

That's<00:28:11.400><c> what</c><00:28:11.440><c> we</c><00:28:11.599><c> would</c><00:28:11.779><c> be.</c>

00:28:12.059 --> 00:28:12.940
But<00:28:12.380><c> it's</c><00:28:12.579><c> no</c><00:28:12.779><c> use.</c>

00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:13.900
It's<00:28:13.259><c> a</c><00:28:13.480><c> dream.</c>

00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:16.279
All<00:28:14.339><c> that</c><00:28:14.440><c> is</c><00:28:14.619><c> a</c><00:28:14.900><c> dream</c><00:28:15.099><c> and</c><00:28:15.339><c> a</c><00:28:15.500><c> useless</c><00:28:15.859><c> dream.</c>

00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:22.000
We've<00:28:17.000><c> got</c><00:28:17.180><c> to</c><00:28:17.500><c> serve</c><00:28:17.940><c> our</c><00:28:18.500><c> generation</c><00:28:19.440><c> as</c><00:28:21.500><c> other</c><00:28:21.720><c> people</c>

00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:23.559
served<00:28:22.400><c> their</c><00:28:22.799><c> generations.</c>

00:28:23.660 --> 00:28:26.059
You<00:28:24.039><c> see,</c><00:28:24.279><c> what</c><00:28:24.420><c> they</c><00:28:24.640><c> did</c><00:28:24.880><c> when</c><00:28:25.140><c> the</c><00:28:25.359><c> truth</c><00:28:25.480><c> came</c><00:28:25.720><c> to</c><00:28:25.900><c> light</c>

00:28:26.059 --> 00:28:27.240
last<00:28:26.359><c> century</c><00:28:26.720><c> was,</c>

00:28:27.559 --> 00:28:28.839
it<00:28:27.579><c> was</c><00:28:27.740><c> a</c><00:28:27.880><c> time</c><00:28:27.980><c> of</c><00:28:28.220><c> surprise.</c>

00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:30.480
That's<00:28:29.119><c> what</c><00:28:29.259><c> it</c><00:28:29.500><c> was.</c>

00:28:30.900 --> 00:28:35.240
When<00:28:31.339><c> Brother</c><00:28:31.700><c> Thomas,</c><00:28:32.140><c> you</c><00:28:32.480><c> know,</c><00:28:33.599><c> came</c><00:28:33.740><c> over</c><00:28:33.920><c> to</c><00:28:34.099><c> these</c><00:28:34.319><c> shores</c>

00:28:35.779 --> 00:28:38.779
and<00:28:36.220><c> said</c><00:28:36.539><c> when</c><00:28:37.160><c> he</c><00:28:37.279><c> was</c><00:28:37.380><c> nearly</c><00:28:37.619><c> shipwrecked,</c><00:28:38.359><c> if</c><00:28:38.440><c> ever</c><00:28:38.640><c> he</c>

00:28:38.779 --> 00:28:39.640
landed<00:28:39.000><c> on</c><00:28:39.220><c> the</c><00:28:39.420><c> shore,</c>

00:28:39.640 --> 00:28:42.039
then<00:28:40.140><c> he</c><00:28:40.539><c> would</c><00:28:40.920><c> get</c><00:28:41.240><c> to</c><00:28:41.420><c> know</c><00:28:41.500><c> his</c><00:28:41.740><c> Bible,</c>

00:28:42.099 --> 00:28:45.359
because<00:28:42.380><c> although</c><00:28:42.660><c> he</c><00:28:42.700><c> was</c><00:28:42.940><c> the</c><00:28:43.299><c> son</c><00:28:43.700><c> of</c><00:28:44.160><c> a</c><00:28:44.359><c> minister,</c>

00:28:45.519 --> 00:28:47.539
a<00:28:45.519><c> minister</c><00:28:46.160><c> of</c><00:28:46.279><c> an</c><00:28:46.440><c> independent</c><00:28:46.880><c> congregation,</c>

00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:50.339
he<00:28:47.940><c> didn't</c><00:28:48.160><c> know</c><00:28:48.359><c> what</c><00:28:48.619><c> happened</c><00:28:48.799><c> to</c><00:28:48.920><c> him</c><00:28:48.980><c> when</c><00:28:49.099><c> he</c><00:28:49.319><c> died.</c>

00:28:51.420 --> 00:28:54.160
He<00:28:51.680><c> thought</c><00:28:51.839><c> he</c><00:28:51.940><c> was</c><00:28:52.059><c> going</c><00:28:52.160><c> to</c><00:28:52.380><c> die,</c><00:28:52.579><c> and</c><00:28:52.740><c> he</c><00:28:52.819><c> didn't</c><00:28:53.119><c> know</c>

00:28:54.220 --> 00:28:55.740
what<00:28:54.660><c> would</c><00:28:54.880><c> happen</c><00:28:55.039><c> to</c><00:28:55.119><c> him</c><00:28:55.200><c> when</c><00:28:55.319><c> he</c><00:28:55.500><c> died.</c>

00:28:55.819 --> 00:28:57.859
So<00:28:55.920><c> you</c><00:28:55.980><c> can</c><00:28:56.079><c> see</c><00:28:56.160><c> how</c><00:28:56.500><c> vague</c><00:28:57.000><c> things</c><00:28:57.440><c> were,</c>

00:28:58.039 --> 00:29:01.019
even<00:28:58.200><c> for</c><00:28:58.359><c> that</c><00:28:58.619><c> man,</c><00:28:59.079><c> an</c><00:28:59.240><c> intelligent</c><00:28:59.759><c> person,</c><00:29:00.579><c> right?</c>

00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:02.900
So<00:29:01.339><c> he</c><00:29:01.420><c> determined</c><00:29:01.700><c> that</c><00:29:01.859><c> he'd</c><00:29:02.019><c> find</c><00:29:02.220><c> out</c><00:29:02.339><c> by</c><00:29:02.519><c> reading.</c>

00:29:03.180 --> 00:29:05.720
He<00:29:03.380><c> got</c><00:29:03.640><c> caught</c><00:29:03.859><c> up</c><00:29:04.079><c> in</c><00:29:04.420><c> what</c><00:29:04.700><c> would</c><00:29:04.859><c> be</c><00:29:05.019><c> an</c><00:29:05.319><c> evangelical</c>

00:29:05.720 --> 00:29:06.559
movement,<00:29:06.160><c> really,</c>

00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:12.079
in<00:29:06.720><c> his</c><00:29:06.779><c> own</c><00:29:07.099><c> day,</c><00:29:09.480><c> and</c><00:29:09.680><c> for</c><00:29:09.839><c> some</c><00:29:10.099><c> time</c><00:29:10.779><c> enjoyed</c><00:29:11.220><c> where</c><00:29:11.420><c> he</c><00:29:11.640><c> was.</c>

00:29:12.579 --> 00:29:15.599
And<00:29:12.819><c> then</c><00:29:13.039><c> he</c><00:29:13.240><c> just</c><00:29:13.500><c> began,</c><00:29:14.420><c> by</c><00:29:14.759><c> the</c><00:29:14.900><c> reading</c><00:29:15.059><c> of</c><00:29:15.240><c> his</c><00:29:15.400><c> Bible,</c>

00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:17.019
to<00:29:15.819><c> come</c><00:29:15.960><c> to</c><00:29:16.099><c> certain</c><00:29:16.380><c> conclusions.</c>

00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:21.019
And<00:29:17.599><c> these</c><00:29:17.839><c> were</c><00:29:18.019><c> the</c><00:29:18.240><c> conclusions</c><00:29:18.720><c> that</c><00:29:19.299><c> rocked</c><00:29:20.579><c> him,</c>

00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:23.539
because<00:29:21.779><c> they</c><00:29:22.039><c> changed</c><00:29:22.240><c> his</c><00:29:22.519><c> life,</c><00:29:22.700><c> and</c><00:29:22.819><c> they've</c><00:29:23.019><c> changed</c><00:29:23.220><c> yours,</c>

00:29:23.539 --> 00:29:25.279
and<00:29:23.640><c> they've</c><00:29:23.940><c> changed</c><00:29:24.099><c> mine.</c>

00:29:25.940 --> 00:29:26.940
And<00:29:26.099><c> so</c><00:29:26.200><c> there</c><00:29:26.319><c> were</c><00:29:26.400><c> these.</c>

00:29:26.940 --> 00:29:34.420
One,<00:29:29.500><c> that</c><00:29:29.720><c> baptism</c><00:29:30.319><c> is</c><00:29:32.359><c> totally</c><00:29:33.019><c> ineffective</c>

00:29:34.740 --> 00:29:40.039
unless<00:29:35.500><c> there</c><00:29:35.799><c> is</c><00:29:36.039><c> an</c><00:29:36.359><c> intelligent</c><00:29:36.799><c> faith,</c><00:29:38.759><c> right?</c>

00:29:40.299 --> 00:29:44.380
So<00:29:40.599><c> it</c><00:29:40.759><c> isn't</c><00:29:40.880><c> just</c><00:29:41.119><c> dipping</c><00:29:41.319><c> in</c><00:29:41.480><c> the</c><00:29:41.680><c> water</c><00:29:42.400><c> that</c><00:29:43.220><c> is</c><00:29:43.400><c> baptism.</c>

00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:48.160
It's<00:29:44.779><c> the</c><00:29:44.940><c> dipping</c><00:29:45.180><c> in</c><00:29:45.660><c> water</c><00:29:45.940><c> of</c><00:29:46.240><c> somebody</c><00:29:46.579><c> who</c><00:29:47.079><c> faithfully</c><00:29:47.640><c> believes</c>

00:29:48.160 --> 00:29:51.500
and<00:29:48.680><c> understands</c><00:29:49.599><c> the</c><00:29:50.099><c> things</c><00:29:50.240><c> of</c><00:29:50.420><c> the</c><00:29:50.619><c> truth.</c>

00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:54.920
Now<00:29:52.259><c> when</c><00:29:52.720><c> Brother</c><00:29:52.980><c> Thomas</c><00:29:53.220><c> said</c><00:29:53.480><c> that</c><00:29:54.019><c> to</c><00:29:54.359><c> the</c><00:29:54.539><c> leader</c>

00:29:54.920 --> 00:29:57.500
of<00:29:55.440><c> the</c><00:29:55.680><c> movement</c><00:29:55.980><c> which</c><00:29:56.220><c> he</c><00:29:56.380><c> had</c><00:29:56.579><c> joined,</c>

00:29:57.880 --> 00:29:59.259
that<00:29:58.079><c> man,</c><00:29:58.640><c> Alexander</c><00:29:58.819><c> Campbell</c><00:29:59.119><c> said,</c>

00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:00.359
and<00:29:59.440><c> don't</c><00:29:59.599><c> say</c><00:29:59.799><c> that,</c><00:30:00.059><c> he</c><00:30:00.180><c> said,</c>

00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:03.079
because<00:30:00.539><c> most</c><00:30:00.759><c> of</c><00:30:00.900><c> our</c><00:30:00.980><c> people</c><00:30:01.180><c> were</c><00:30:01.380><c> baptized</c><00:30:01.700><c> the</c><00:30:01.900><c> other</c><00:30:02.099><c> way.</c>

00:30:03.420 --> 00:30:04.740
They<00:30:03.559><c> weren't</c><00:30:03.779><c> baptized</c><00:30:04.180><c> understanding.</c>

00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:07.599
They've<00:30:04.960><c> just</c><00:30:05.200><c> got</c><00:30:05.339><c> to</c><00:30:05.480><c> know</c><00:30:05.559><c> what</c><00:30:05.700><c> they</c><00:30:05.960><c> know</c><00:30:06.319><c> afterwards.</c>

00:30:08.740 --> 00:30:10.900
So<00:30:08.900><c> their</c><00:30:09.099><c> baptism</c><00:30:09.339><c> was</c><00:30:09.559><c> just</c><00:30:09.740><c> a</c><00:30:09.900><c> dip,</c>

00:30:11.940 --> 00:30:14.619
without<00:30:12.059><c> a</c><00:30:12.359><c> faith</c><00:30:12.619><c> except</c><00:30:12.940><c> a</c><00:30:13.160><c> very,</c><00:30:13.579><c> very</c><00:30:13.940><c> general</c><00:30:14.240><c> faith.</c>

00:30:14.680 --> 00:30:15.819
That's<00:30:15.019><c> all.</c>

00:30:16.019 --> 00:30:19.599
But<00:30:16.160><c> then</c><00:30:16.440><c> Brother</c><00:30:16.680><c> Thomas</c><00:30:16.880><c> went</c><00:30:17.119><c> on,</c><00:30:17.539><c> and</c><00:30:18.119><c> he</c><00:30:18.660><c> said,</c>

00:30:20.700 --> 00:30:23.359
in<00:30:20.839><c> effect,</c><00:30:21.359><c> you</c><00:30:21.359><c> know,</c><00:30:21.720><c> when</c><00:30:21.880><c> you're</c><00:30:22.099><c> dead,</c><00:30:22.240><c> you're</c><00:30:22.500><c> dead.</c>

00:30:25.140 --> 00:30:30.539
Now<00:30:25.539><c> to</c><00:30:25.940><c> most</c><00:30:26.480><c> people,</c><00:30:27.859><c> that</c><00:30:28.099><c> really</c><00:30:28.559><c> is</c><00:30:28.920><c> an</c><00:30:29.180><c> unacceptable</c><00:30:29.839><c> thought.</c>

00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:32.339
It<00:30:30.759><c> may</c><00:30:30.839><c> not</c><00:30:30.920><c> be</c><00:30:31.039><c> quite</c><00:30:31.299><c> so</c><00:30:31.440><c> much</c><00:30:31.579><c> in</c><00:30:31.720><c> our</c><00:30:31.900><c> present</c><00:30:32.099><c> age</c>

00:30:32.339 --> 00:30:34.440
because<00:30:32.599><c> there</c><00:30:32.759><c> are</c><00:30:32.779><c> quite</c><00:30:32.880><c> a</c><00:30:33.000><c> lot</c><00:30:33.079><c> of</c><00:30:33.240><c> people</c><00:30:33.539><c> who</c><00:30:33.900><c> are</c><00:30:34.000><c> now</c><00:30:34.259><c> saying,</c>

00:30:34.779 --> 00:30:37.180
well,<00:30:34.940><c> or</c><00:30:35.140><c> I</c><00:30:36.220><c> should</c><00:30:36.380><c> just</c><00:30:36.579><c> live</c><00:30:36.720><c> this</c><00:30:37.000><c> life,</c>

00:30:37.220 --> 00:30:38.900
and<00:30:37.279><c> when</c><00:30:37.359><c> I'm</c><00:30:37.559><c> dead,</c><00:30:37.700><c> that's</c><00:30:38.000><c> fine.</c>

00:30:39.500 --> 00:30:40.220
They<00:30:39.759><c> say</c><00:30:40.000><c> that.</c>

00:30:40.220 --> 00:30:42.940
Whether<00:30:40.400><c> they</c><00:30:40.559><c> really</c><00:30:41.220><c> think</c><00:30:41.440><c> it,</c><00:30:41.579><c> I</c><00:30:41.700><c> don't</c><00:30:41.980><c> know.</c>

00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:44.960
And<00:30:43.640><c> then</c><00:30:43.759><c> the</c><00:30:43.920><c> other</c><00:30:44.099><c> things</c><00:30:44.299><c> that</c><00:30:44.519><c> came</c><00:30:44.680><c> to</c><00:30:44.859><c> light,</c>

00:30:45.019 --> 00:30:48.859
the<00:30:45.220><c> beautiful</c><00:30:45.480><c> things</c><00:30:45.660><c> that</c><00:30:45.859><c> came</c><00:30:46.019><c> to</c><00:30:46.240><c> light</c><00:30:46.480><c> were</c><00:30:47.119><c> the</c><00:30:47.640><c> promises.</c>

00:30:49.259 --> 00:30:52.880
Brother<00:30:49.859><c> Joe</c><00:30:50.039><c> and</c><00:30:50.200><c> I</c><00:30:50.440><c> were</c><00:30:50.740><c> talking</c><00:30:51.039><c> about</c><00:30:51.279><c> this</c><00:30:51.759><c> last</c><00:30:52.359><c> evening,</c>

00:30:53.339 --> 00:30:56.299
the<00:30:53.640><c> promises</c><00:30:54.279><c> made</c><00:30:54.980><c> to</c><00:30:55.220><c> Abraham,</c><00:30:55.640><c> Isaac,</c><00:30:55.920><c> and</c><00:30:56.119><c> Jacob.</c>

00:30:56.319 --> 00:30:57.380
We<00:30:56.559><c> know</c><00:30:56.900><c> them.</c>

00:30:57.839 --> 00:30:59.539
Most<00:30:58.220><c> other</c><00:30:58.559><c> people</c><00:30:58.880><c> do</c><00:30:59.220><c> not.</c>

00:30:59.720 --> 00:31:01.240
It's<00:31:00.259><c> astonishing.</c>

00:31:01.599 --> 00:31:03.740
You<00:31:01.640><c> know,</c><00:31:02.000><c> we've</c><00:31:02.180><c> been</c><00:31:02.279><c> talking</c><00:31:02.440><c> to</c><00:31:02.619><c> people</c><00:31:02.900><c> in</c><00:31:03.319><c> our</c><00:31:03.559><c> own</c>

00:31:10.380 --> 00:31:13.880
about<00:31:10.980><c> Abraham</c><00:31:11.359><c> and</c><00:31:11.519><c> the</c><00:31:11.700><c> promises,</c><00:31:12.200><c> none</c><00:31:12.539><c> at</c><00:31:12.940><c> all.</c>

00:31:15.019 --> 00:31:17.299
And<00:31:15.299><c> these</c><00:31:15.440><c> are</c><00:31:15.619><c> not</c><00:31:15.779><c> people</c><00:31:16.099><c> just</c><00:31:16.460><c> from</c><00:31:16.660><c> the</c><00:31:16.880><c> street</c><00:31:17.039><c> who</c><00:31:17.180><c> are</c>

00:31:17.299 --> 00:31:17.839
passing<00:31:17.559><c> by</c>

00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:20.740
and<00:31:17.839><c> you</c><00:31:17.920><c> say,</c><00:31:18.299><c> hello,</c><00:31:18.579><c> are</c><00:31:19.099><c> you</c><00:31:19.900><c> interested</c><00:31:20.220><c> in</c><00:31:20.380><c> your</c><00:31:20.559><c> Bible?</c>

00:31:20.799 --> 00:31:22.680
They<00:31:20.900><c> say,</c><00:31:21.220><c> no,</c><00:31:21.640><c> no,</c><00:31:22.220><c> no.</c>

00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:24.099
But<00:31:22.920><c> would</c><00:31:23.039><c> you</c><00:31:23.180><c> be</c><00:31:23.299><c> if</c><00:31:23.619><c> so</c><00:31:23.880><c> and</c><00:31:23.980><c> so?</c>

00:31:24.140 --> 00:31:25.339
They<00:31:24.259><c> say,</c><00:31:24.579><c> well,</c><00:31:24.839><c> might</c><00:31:25.059><c> be.</c>

00:31:25.420 --> 00:31:26.380
Not<00:31:25.599><c> those</c><00:31:25.799><c> people</c><00:31:25.980><c> at</c><00:31:26.220><c> all.</c>

00:31:26.500 --> 00:31:29.940
These<00:31:26.680><c> are</c><00:31:26.819><c> people</c><00:31:27.059><c> who</c><00:31:27.299><c> are</c><00:31:27.500><c> attending</c><00:31:27.740><c> vigorous</c><00:31:28.539><c> churches</c>

00:31:30.759 --> 00:31:33.220
and<00:31:31.160><c> yet</c><00:31:31.339><c> don't</c><00:31:31.519><c> understand</c><00:31:31.940><c> these</c><00:31:32.220><c> things.</c>

00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:36.559
In<00:31:34.400><c> fact,</c><00:31:34.539><c> one</c><00:31:34.680><c> of</c><00:31:34.759><c> the</c><00:31:34.900><c> things</c><00:31:35.039><c> about</c><00:31:35.259><c> the</c><00:31:35.819><c> Effective</c><00:31:36.279><c> Bible</c>

Reading<00:31:36.920><c> course</c>

00:31:37.259 --> 00:31:39.920
is<00:31:37.819><c> that</c><00:31:38.160><c> most</c><00:31:38.400><c> of</c><00:31:38.559><c> the</c><00:31:38.700><c> people</c><00:31:38.839><c> who</c><00:31:39.099><c> come</c><00:31:39.220><c> to</c><00:31:39.380><c> that</c><00:31:39.660><c> course</c>

00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:42.599
are<00:31:40.259><c> people</c><00:31:40.539><c> who</c><00:31:40.740><c> go</c><00:31:40.859><c> to</c><00:31:41.019><c> churches</c><00:31:41.259><c> and</c><00:31:41.480><c> chapels</c>

00:31:43.259 --> 00:31:45.000
because<00:31:43.660><c> they</c><00:31:43.859><c> know</c><00:31:44.000><c> they</c><00:31:44.160><c> don't</c><00:31:44.400><c> know</c><00:31:44.519><c> their</c><00:31:44.779><c> Bibles</c>

00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:47.019

00:31:47.480 --> 00:31:48.779
And<00:31:47.839><c> that's</c><00:31:48.019><c> very</c><00:31:48.279><c> interesting,</c><00:31:48.660><c> isn't</c><00:31:48.720><c> it?</c>

00:31:48.819 --> 00:31:49.500
It's<00:31:48.920><c> not</c><00:31:49.019><c> the</c><00:31:49.119><c> other</c><00:31:49.279><c> people.</c>

00:31:49.519 --> 00:31:51.279
You<00:31:49.619><c> get</c><00:31:49.740><c> some</c><00:31:50.000><c> of</c><00:31:50.099><c> the</c><00:31:50.200><c> other</c><00:31:50.400><c> people.</c>

00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:52.000
Well,<00:31:51.480><c> I</c><00:31:51.599><c> say</c><00:31:51.779><c> some.</c>

00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:53.559
I'm<00:31:52.160><c> just</c><00:31:52.299><c> trying</c><00:31:52.460><c> to</c><00:31:52.640><c> think.</c>

00:31:54.059 --> 00:31:56.380
I<00:31:54.259><c> don't</c><00:31:54.400><c> think</c><00:31:54.519><c> I've</c><00:31:54.759><c> met</c><00:31:54.900><c> one</c>

00:31:57.140 --> 00:32:00.640
that's<00:31:57.500><c> come</c><00:31:57.640><c> to</c><00:31:57.839><c> the</c><00:31:57.960><c> courses</c><00:31:58.140><c> we've</c><00:31:59.339><c> had</c><00:31:59.480><c> in</c><00:31:59.740><c> Watford.</c>

00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:03.559
All<00:32:01.599><c> the</c><00:32:01.759><c> other</c><00:32:01.900><c> people</c><00:32:02.059><c> have</c><00:32:02.180><c> been</c><00:32:02.299><c> either</c><00:32:02.460><c> from</c><00:32:02.619><c> a</c><00:32:02.759><c> church</c><00:32:03.019><c> or</c><00:32:03.200><c> a</c><00:32:03.299><c> chapel</c>

00:32:03.559 --> 00:32:05.920
or,<00:32:03.920><c> you</c><00:32:04.039><c> know,</c><00:32:04.500><c> have</c><00:32:04.559><c> already</c><00:32:04.779><c> got</c><00:32:05.160><c> a</c><00:32:05.579><c> faith,</c>

00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:07.960
but<00:32:06.500><c> they</c><00:32:06.680><c> haven't</c><00:32:06.799><c> got</c><00:32:07.000><c> any</c><00:32:07.180><c> knowledge</c><00:32:07.420><c> of</c><00:32:07.559><c> the</c><00:32:07.720><c> Bible.</c>

00:32:08.019 --> 00:32:11.119
And<00:32:08.200><c> we're</c><00:32:08.400><c> surprised</c><00:32:08.920><c> when</c><00:32:09.059><c> the</c><00:32:09.259><c> Bible</c><00:32:09.440><c> began</c><00:32:09.700><c> to</c><00:32:09.880><c> come</c><00:32:10.079><c> alive</c><00:32:10.440><c> for</c><00:32:10.680><c> them.</c>

00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:16.660
So<00:32:11.759><c> that's</c><00:32:12.119><c> what</c><00:32:12.440><c> made</c><00:32:12.720><c> that</c><00:32:13.039><c> generation,</c><00:32:13.880><c> you</c><00:32:15.980><c> know,</c>

00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:18.380
greatly<00:32:17.279><c> surprised</c><00:32:17.680><c> when</c><00:32:17.799><c> they</c><00:32:18.019><c> learned</c><00:32:18.240><c> it,</c>

00:32:18.380 --> 00:32:20.700
and<00:32:18.460><c> that's</c><00:32:18.759><c> when</c><00:32:19.079><c> the</c><00:32:19.359><c> fire</c><00:32:19.619><c> was</c><00:32:19.859><c> set</c><00:32:20.000><c> alight.</c>

00:32:21.180 --> 00:32:24.160
In<00:32:21.440><c> our</c><00:32:21.720><c> generation,</c><00:32:22.440><c> then,</c><00:32:22.680><c> we</c><00:32:23.099><c> haven't</c><00:32:23.400><c> doubted</c><00:32:23.819><c> any</c><00:32:24.000><c> of</c>

00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:24.619
those<00:32:24.359><c> things.</c>

00:32:24.700 --> 00:32:26.839
Those<00:32:24.819><c> are</c><00:32:24.920><c> the</c><00:32:25.019><c> things</c><00:32:25.160><c> now</c><00:32:25.500><c> that</c><00:32:25.740><c> we</c><00:32:25.920><c> believe</c><00:32:26.259><c> and</c><00:32:26.440><c> we</c><00:32:26.660><c> know</c>

00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:27.779
and<00:32:27.000><c> we're</c><00:32:27.279><c> sure</c><00:32:27.500><c> about,</c>

00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.880
and<00:32:28.140><c> all</c><00:32:28.339><c> of</c><00:32:28.460><c> us</c><00:32:28.759><c> could</c><00:32:29.000><c> turn</c><00:32:29.200><c> up</c><00:32:29.420><c> a</c><00:32:29.559><c> verse</c><00:32:29.720><c> here</c><00:32:29.980><c> and</c><00:32:30.160><c> a</c><00:32:30.339><c> verse</c><00:32:30.500><c> there</c>

00:32:32.180 --> 00:32:33.240

00:32:58.140 --> 00:32:59.660
I<00:32:58.259><c> know</c><00:32:58.279><c> some</c><00:32:58.440><c> people</c><00:32:58.579><c> say,</c><00:32:58.799><c> well,</c><00:32:58.799><c> it</c><00:32:58.819><c> was</c><00:32:59.019><c> always</c><00:32:59.259><c> like</c><00:32:59.559><c> that.</c>

00:32:59.720 --> 00:33:02.400
You<00:32:59.779><c> went</c><00:32:59.880><c> back</c><00:33:00.099><c> to</c><00:33:00.259><c> Victorian</c><00:33:00.700><c> times,</c><00:33:01.059><c> you'd</c><00:33:01.400><c> find</c><00:33:01.680><c> just</c><00:33:02.119><c> the</c><00:33:02.299><c> same.</c>

00:33:02.440 --> 00:33:03.819
Yes,<00:33:02.680><c> you</c><00:33:02.880><c> would.</c>

00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:07.599
But<00:33:04.480><c> you</c><00:33:04.660><c> wouldn't</c><00:33:04.920><c> find</c><00:33:05.220><c> people</c><00:33:05.799><c> saying</c><00:33:06.220><c> about</c><00:33:06.640><c> them</c><00:33:07.180><c> that</c>

00:33:08.700 --> 00:33:11.039
See,<00:33:09.599><c> that's</c><00:33:09.779><c> what</c><00:33:09.880><c> happened</c><00:33:10.059><c> to</c><00:33:10.240><c> our</c><00:33:10.460><c> generation.</c>

00:33:11.539 --> 00:33:15.279
Our<00:33:11.740><c> generation's</c><00:33:12.339><c> introduced</c><00:33:12.579><c> all</c><00:33:12.900><c> these</c><00:33:13.279><c> variations</c><00:33:13.920><c> on</c><00:33:14.200><c> marriage,</c>

00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:17.339

00:33:17.380 --> 00:33:19.359
It's<00:33:17.619><c> up</c><00:33:17.759><c> to</c><00:33:17.859><c> us</c><00:33:18.140><c> to</c><00:33:18.339><c> decide</c><00:33:18.619><c> which</c><00:33:18.839><c> we</c><00:33:19.059><c> like.</c>

00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:22.220
They're<00:33:19.720><c> all</c><00:33:19.960><c> as</c><00:33:20.640><c> good</c><00:33:21.099><c> as</c><00:33:21.680><c> one</c><00:33:21.859><c> another.</c>

00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:23.799
That's<00:33:22.539><c> what</c><00:33:22.640><c> they</c><00:33:22.900><c> say.</c>

00:33:24.299 --> 00:33:28.900
And<00:33:24.460><c> so</c><00:33:24.900><c> all</c><00:33:25.259><c> of</c><00:33:25.359><c> us</c><00:33:25.500><c> here</c><00:33:25.640><c> will</c><00:33:25.819><c> have</c><00:33:27.119><c> within,</c><00:33:27.960><c> you</c><00:33:28.640><c> know,</c>

00:33:29.019 --> 00:33:31.259
a<00:33:29.019><c> quarter</c><00:33:29.200><c> of</c><00:33:29.420><c> a</c><00:33:29.480><c> mile</c><00:33:29.519><c> of</c><00:33:29.680><c> our</c><00:33:29.859><c> house</c><00:33:30.180><c> people</c><00:33:30.660><c> who</c><00:33:31.160><c> are</c>

00:33:31.259 --> 00:33:31.880
living<00:33:31.480><c> together</c>

00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:33.579
who<00:33:32.059><c> are</c><00:33:32.180><c> not</c><00:33:32.400><c> married,</c>

00:33:34.740 --> 00:33:37.240
about<00:33:35.079><c> which</c><00:33:35.259><c> there</c><00:33:35.440><c> is</c><00:33:35.740><c> no</c><00:33:36.039><c> embarrassment</c><00:33:36.579><c> whatsoever.</c>

00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:39.640
They're<00:33:38.180><c> nice</c><00:33:38.519><c> and</c><00:33:38.740><c> decent</c><00:33:39.099><c> people,</c>

00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:41.920
but<00:33:39.859><c> that's</c><00:33:40.059><c> what</c><00:33:40.180><c> they've</c><00:33:40.940><c> just</c><00:33:41.160><c> decided</c><00:33:41.539><c> to</c><00:33:41.779><c> do.</c>

00:33:42.279 --> 00:33:45.059
That's<00:33:42.759><c> how</c><00:33:43.359><c> we're</c><00:33:43.700><c> going</c><00:33:43.839><c> to</c><00:33:44.000><c> do</c><00:33:44.160><c> it.</c>

00:33:45.079 --> 00:33:46.859
Now,<00:33:45.220><c> that's</c><00:33:45.579><c> the</c><00:33:45.700><c> age</c><00:33:45.859><c> in</c><00:33:46.019><c> which</c><00:33:46.180><c> we</c><00:33:46.440><c> live,</c>

00:33:47.099 --> 00:33:50.960
and<00:33:47.259><c> therefore</c><00:33:47.819><c> we</c><00:33:48.680><c> need</c><00:33:48.980><c> to</c><00:33:49.160><c> bring</c><00:33:49.400><c> for</c><00:33:49.660><c> our</c><00:33:49.960><c> generation,</c>

00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:51.599

00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:54.200

00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:58.480
And<00:33:54.619><c> so</c><00:33:55.380><c> when</c><00:33:56.039><c> we</c><00:33:56.240><c> have</c><00:33:56.380><c> folks</c><00:33:56.599><c> around</c><00:33:56.819><c> at</c><00:33:57.000><c> our</c><00:33:57.160><c> house</c><00:33:57.559><c> preaching</c><00:33:57.980><c> the</c><00:33:58.279><c> truth,</c>

00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:00.559
we<00:33:58.759><c> take</c><00:33:58.980><c> the</c><00:33:59.119><c> two</c><00:33:59.259><c> things</c><00:33:59.500><c> together.</c>

00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:03.720
We<00:34:01.200><c> take</c><00:34:01.420><c> the</c><00:34:01.619><c> doctrines</c><00:34:01.980><c> and</c><00:34:02.119><c> the</c><00:34:02.259><c> way</c><00:34:02.380><c> of</c><00:34:02.579><c> life</c><00:34:02.740><c> at</c><00:34:03.000><c> the</c><00:34:03.240><c> same</c><00:34:03.480><c> time,</c>

00:37:02.639 --> 00:37:04.119
We<00:37:02.840><c> read</c><00:37:03.000><c> it</c><00:37:03.179><c> eight</c><00:37:03.460><c> times</c><00:37:03.800><c> a</c><00:37:04.019><c> year.</c>

00:37:08.360 --> 00:37:10.300
So<00:37:08.500><c> all</c><00:37:08.940><c> this</c><00:37:09.139><c> other</c><00:37:09.280><c> is</c><00:37:09.460><c> bunkum.</c>

00:37:10.500 --> 00:37:13.960
These<00:37:10.940><c> are</c><00:37:11.380><c> accusations</c><00:37:11.940><c> leveled</c><00:37:12.420><c> that</c><00:37:12.559><c> are</c><00:37:12.679><c> not</c><00:37:12.920><c> right.</c>

00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:18.800
But<00:37:14.960><c> the</c><00:37:15.059><c> answer</c><00:37:15.280><c> is,</c><00:37:15.500><c> of</c><00:37:15.500><c> course,</c><00:37:15.639><c> we</c><00:37:15.719><c> only</c><00:37:15.940><c> do</c><00:37:16.099><c> it</c><00:37:16.219><c> if</c><00:37:16.360><c> we</c><00:37:16.480><c> do</c><00:37:16.659><c> it.</c>

00:37:19.380 --> 00:37:21.579
So<00:37:19.940><c> that's</c><00:37:20.500><c> one</c><00:37:20.639><c> of</c><00:37:20.760><c> the</c><00:37:20.800><c> things</c><00:37:20.880><c> we've</c><00:37:21.019><c> got</c><00:37:21.099><c> to</c><00:37:21.239><c> sort</c><00:37:21.400><c> out</c>

00:37:22.679 --> 00:37:24.900
I'm<00:37:22.840><c> not</c><00:37:23.059><c> going</c><00:37:23.239><c> to</c><00:37:23.400><c> ask</c><00:37:23.599><c> you</c><00:37:23.960><c> personally,</c><00:37:24.559><c> individually,</c>

00:37:25.039 --> 00:37:26.880
whether<00:37:25.199><c> you're</c><00:37:25.380><c> reading</c><00:37:25.619><c> your</c><00:37:25.900><c> Bible</c><00:37:26.079><c> every</c><00:37:26.460><c> day.</c>

00:37:27.219 --> 00:37:29.059
All<00:37:27.559><c> I</c><00:37:27.780><c> can</c><00:37:28.059><c> say</c><00:37:28.400><c> is</c><00:37:28.780><c> this,</c>

00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:33.300
there<00:37:29.340><c> is</c><00:37:29.780><c> no</c><00:37:30.119><c> way</c><00:37:30.480><c> into</c><00:37:30.760><c> the</c><00:37:31.000><c> Kingdom</c><00:37:31.280><c> of</c><00:37:31.539><c> God</c><00:37:31.820><c> without</c><00:37:32.340><c> reading</c><00:37:32.699><c> your</c><00:37:32.940><c> Bible.</c>

00:37:33.380 --> 00:37:34.679
There<00:37:33.679><c> isn't.</c>

00:37:34.840 --> 00:37:38.099
So<00:37:35.099><c> don't</c><00:37:35.280><c> fool</c><00:37:35.519><c> yourself,</c><00:37:35.960><c> because</c><00:37:36.519><c> it's</c><00:37:36.920><c> only</c><00:37:37.099><c> you</c><00:37:37.260><c> you're</c><00:37:37.539><c> fooling.</c>

00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:40.519
There<00:37:38.940><c> isn't</c><00:37:39.340><c> any</c><00:37:39.579><c> way.</c>

00:37:40.760 --> 00:37:44.039
So<00:37:40.900><c> whatever</c><00:37:41.059><c> excuses</c><00:37:41.519><c> we</c><00:37:41.800><c> make,</c><00:37:42.059><c> whatever</c><00:37:42.360><c> excuses</c><00:37:42.900><c> we</c><00:37:43.260><c> make,</c>

00:37:46.039 --> 00:37:48.519
then<00:37:46.400><c> we're</c><00:37:46.760><c> fooling</c><00:37:47.039><c> ourselves.</c>

00:37:49.539 --> 00:37:53.039
A<00:37:49.619><c> man</c><00:37:49.760><c> who's</c><00:37:49.900><c> got</c><00:37:50.139><c> a</c><00:37:50.320><c> pacemaker</c><00:37:50.920><c> has</c><00:37:51.460><c> got</c><00:37:51.659><c> a</c><00:37:51.860><c> battery</c><00:37:52.139><c> in</c><00:37:52.280><c> it.</c>

00:37:53.780 --> 00:37:56.219
And<00:37:53.900><c> if</c><00:37:53.960><c> the</c><00:37:54.159><c> battery</c><00:37:54.420><c> runs</c><00:37:54.719><c> down,</c>

00:37:56.760 --> 00:37:58.159
then<00:37:56.880><c> in</c><00:37:57.000><c> fact</c><00:37:57.079><c> you've</c><00:37:57.219><c> got</c><00:37:57.280><c> to</c><00:37:57.400><c> have</c><00:37:57.400><c> it</c><00:37:57.579><c> replaced.</c>

00:37:58.380 --> 00:37:59.699
And<00:37:58.500><c> it's</c><00:37:58.619><c> no</c><00:37:58.679><c> use</c><00:37:58.840><c> fooling</c><00:37:59.119><c> him,</c><00:37:59.420><c> saying,</c>

00:37:59.820 --> 00:38:02.360
I<00:37:59.940><c> know</c><00:38:00.079><c> it's</c><00:38:00.340><c> run</c><00:38:00.519><c> down,</c><00:38:00.780><c> but</c><00:38:00.900><c> I</c><00:38:01.000><c> can</c><00:38:01.119><c> get</c><00:38:01.260><c> on</c><00:38:01.579><c> all</c><00:38:01.699><c> right</c><00:38:01.860><c> without</c><00:38:02.099><c> it.</c>

00:38:02.420 --> 00:38:04.320
He<00:38:02.639><c> won't.</c><00:38:02.920><c> He'll</c><00:38:03.239><c> die.</c>

00:38:05.380 --> 00:38:06.519
And<00:38:05.519><c> so</c><00:38:05.619><c> it</c><00:38:05.699><c> is</c><00:38:05.820><c> with</c><00:38:05.940><c> the</c><00:38:06.059><c> Word</c><00:38:06.179><c> of</c><00:38:06.400><c> God.</c>

00:38:06.539 --> 00:38:09.000
It's<00:38:06.880><c> a</c><00:38:07.039><c> living</c><00:38:07.380><c> Word</c><00:38:07.719><c> of</c><00:38:07.960><c> God.</c>

00:38:09.380 --> 00:38:13.980
So<00:38:09.820><c> if</c><00:38:10.260><c> in</c><00:38:11.199><c> fact</c><00:38:11.500><c> you</c><00:38:11.780><c> don't</c><00:38:12.679><c> read</c><00:38:12.980><c> it,</c>

00:38:14.300 --> 00:38:17.579
then<00:38:14.440><c> might</c><00:38:15.420><c> I</c><00:38:15.579><c> just</c><00:38:15.800><c> suggest</c><00:38:16.199><c> that</c><00:38:16.599><c> you</c><00:38:16.719><c> take</c><00:38:16.840><c> very</c><00:38:17.099><c> careful</c><00:38:17.340><c> stock</c>

00:38:17.579 --> 00:38:19.340
of<00:38:17.679><c> what</c><00:38:17.800><c> you're</c><00:38:17.960><c> doing</c><00:38:18.039><c> with</c><00:38:18.219><c> your</c><00:38:18.460><c> time.</c>

00:38:19.659 --> 00:38:21.059
Because<00:38:19.860><c> if</c><00:38:20.000><c> you're</c><00:38:20.059><c> not</c><00:38:20.239><c> reading</c><00:38:20.400><c> the</c><00:38:20.559><c> Word</c><00:38:20.659><c> of</c><00:38:20.820><c> God,</c>

00:38:21.199 --> 00:38:23.480
a<00:38:21.239><c> lot</c><00:38:21.380><c> of</c><00:38:21.519><c> your</c><00:38:21.679><c> time</c><00:38:21.820><c> is</c><00:38:21.880><c> going</c><00:38:22.079><c> down</c><00:38:22.380><c> the</c><00:38:22.599><c> drain.</c>

00:38:23.940 --> 00:38:26.260
Whatever<00:38:24.179><c> we're</c><00:38:24.360><c> doing</c><00:38:24.539><c> with</c><00:38:24.699><c> it,</c><00:38:24.940><c> straight</c><00:38:25.219><c> down.</c>

00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:30.099
I'll<00:38:27.559><c> take</c><00:38:27.679><c> up</c><00:38:27.780><c> a</c><00:38:27.860><c> little</c><00:38:27.980><c> bit</c><00:38:28.099><c> of</c><00:38:28.159><c> that</c><00:38:28.340><c> as</c><00:38:28.519><c> we</c><00:38:28.980><c> go</c><00:38:29.239><c> along.</c>

00:38:30.699 --> 00:38:33.119
But<00:38:30.739><c> I</c><00:38:30.980><c> said</c><00:38:31.119><c> the</c><00:38:31.480><c> things</c><00:38:31.639><c> I</c><00:38:31.719><c> had</c><00:38:31.860><c> to</c><00:38:32.039><c> say</c><00:38:32.139><c> will</c><00:38:32.320><c> be</c><00:38:32.619><c> straight.</c>

00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:35.219
There<00:38:33.960><c> is</c><00:38:34.219><c> nobody</c><00:38:34.460><c> in</c><00:38:34.599><c> this</c><00:38:34.840><c> room,</c>

00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:37.579
including<00:38:35.940><c> myself</c><00:38:36.619><c> and</c><00:38:37.000><c> Sister</c><00:38:37.219><c> Bernice,</c>

00:38:37.579 --> 00:38:42.000
nobody<00:38:38.239><c> in</c><00:38:38.460><c> this</c><00:38:38.780><c> room</c><00:38:39.039><c> who</c><00:38:39.480><c> has</c><00:38:39.719><c> read</c><00:38:40.139><c> the</c><00:38:40.539><c> Bible</c><00:38:40.920><c> every</c><00:38:41.599><c> day</c>

00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:43.579
constantly<00:38:42.579><c> without</c><00:38:43.159><c> fail.</c>

00:38:43.579 --> 00:38:45.059
There<00:38:43.780><c> isn't</c><00:38:43.960><c> anybody.</c>

00:38:45.760 --> 00:38:47.420
Just<00:38:46.079><c> because</c><00:38:46.340><c> we're</c><00:38:46.619><c> human</c><00:38:46.800><c> beings.</c>

00:38:47.699 --> 00:38:51.019
Sometimes<00:38:48.039><c> there</c><00:38:48.239><c> are</c><00:38:48.480><c> circumstances</c><00:38:49.039><c> when</c><00:38:49.639><c> that's</c><00:38:50.119><c> how</c><00:38:50.280><c> it</c><00:38:50.519><c> is.</c>

00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:53.539
I'm<00:38:51.639><c> not</c><00:38:51.800><c> talking</c><00:38:52.019><c> about</c><00:38:52.360><c> that.</c>

00:38:54.019 --> 00:38:57.579
I'm<00:38:54.239><c> talking</c><00:38:54.500><c> about</c><00:38:54.800><c> a</c><00:38:55.019><c> way</c><00:38:55.199><c> of</c><00:38:55.500><c> life</c><00:38:55.880><c> that</c><00:38:56.239><c> doesn't</c><00:38:56.579><c> make</c><00:38:56.940><c> provision</c>

00:38:57.579 --> 00:39:00.239
for<00:38:58.019><c> reading</c><00:38:58.420><c> the</c><00:38:58.760><c> Word</c><00:38:59.119><c> of</c><00:38:59.320><c> God</c><00:38:59.599><c> each</c><00:39:00.019><c> day.</c>

00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:01.539
That's<00:39:00.599><c> different.</c>

00:39:01.699 --> 00:39:03.599
Now<00:39:01.900><c> you</c><00:39:02.000><c> know</c><00:39:02.179><c> whether</c><00:39:02.400><c> you</c><00:39:02.659><c> make</c><00:39:02.860><c> provision</c><00:39:03.199><c> to</c><00:39:03.360><c> read</c><00:39:03.480><c> the</c>

00:39:03.599 --> 00:39:04.019
Word<00:39:03.739><c> of</c><00:39:03.920><c> God.</c>

00:39:04.019 --> 00:39:05.119
You<00:39:04.239><c> know</c><00:39:04.460><c> whether</c><00:39:04.659><c> you</c><00:39:04.880><c> do.</c>

00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:07.599
You<00:39:05.619><c> know</c><00:39:05.860><c> whether</c><00:39:06.059><c> you</c><00:39:06.239><c> read</c><00:39:06.440><c> the</c><00:39:06.599><c> Word</c><00:39:06.719><c> of</c><00:39:06.860><c> God</c><00:39:07.119><c> during</c><00:39:07.480><c> the</c>

00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:09.239
last<00:39:07.840><c> week.</c>

00:39:11.019 --> 00:39:15.320
And<00:39:11.280><c> so</c><00:39:11.860><c> just</c><00:39:12.380><c> take</c><00:39:13.800><c> stock</c><00:39:14.280><c> together.</c>

00:39:16.039 --> 00:39:21.739
I<00:39:16.199><c> have</c><00:39:16.760><c> got</c><00:39:17.280><c> here</c><00:39:18.119><c> a</c><00:39:18.519><c> list</c><00:39:18.940><c> of</c><00:39:19.300><c> things</c><00:39:19.780><c> that</c><00:39:20.340><c> could</c><00:39:20.559><c> make</c><00:39:20.780><c> us</c><00:39:21.019><c> better.</c>

00:39:22.539 --> 00:39:23.920
All<00:39:22.980><c> right?</c>

00:39:25.019 --> 00:39:26.519
Matter<00:39:25.219><c> of</c><00:39:25.320><c> fact,</c><00:39:25.440><c> I've</c><00:39:25.619><c> got</c><00:39:25.699><c> on</c><00:39:25.840><c> a</c><00:39:25.920><c> piece</c><00:39:26.019><c> of</c><00:39:26.199><c> paper,</c>

00:39:26.679 --> 00:39:30.380
and<00:39:26.820><c> you'll</c><00:39:27.000><c> all</c><00:39:27.159><c> have</c><00:39:27.320><c> a</c><00:39:27.460><c> copy</c><00:39:27.840><c> after</c><00:39:28.780><c> I've</c><00:39:29.159><c> just</c><00:39:29.460><c> gone</c><00:39:29.840><c> through</c><00:39:30.119><c> them.</c>

00:39:30.400 --> 00:39:32.059
Because<00:39:30.579><c> I've</c><00:39:31.099><c> arranged</c><00:39:31.340><c> with</c><00:39:31.519><c> Brother</c><00:39:31.719><c> Rubin,</c>

00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:33.260
and<00:39:32.440><c> that's</c><00:39:32.659><c> what's</c><00:39:32.840><c> going</c><00:39:32.940><c> to</c><00:39:33.099><c> happen.</c>

00:39:33.260 --> 00:39:36.380
So<00:39:33.500><c> we'll</c><00:39:33.679><c> all</c><00:39:33.760><c> have</c><00:39:34.420><c> a</c><00:39:34.519><c> copy</c><00:39:34.840><c> afterwards</c><00:39:35.559><c> so</c><00:39:36.019><c> that</c><00:39:36.119><c> we</c><00:39:36.179><c> can</c>

00:39:36.380 --> 00:39:37.000
think<00:39:36.599><c> about</c><00:39:36.800><c> that.</c>

00:39:37.019 --> 00:39:41.360
And<00:39:37.099><c> they're</c><00:39:38.300><c> not</c><00:39:38.639><c> difficult</c><00:39:39.699><c> things,</c><00:39:40.179><c> any</c><00:39:40.460><c> of</c><00:39:40.639><c> them</c><00:39:40.820><c> at</c><00:39:41.139><c> all.</c>

00:39:41.539 --> 00:39:43.800
They're<00:39:41.699><c> all</c><00:39:42.139><c> straightforward,</c><00:39:42.960><c> ordinary</c><00:39:43.400><c> things</c>

00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:47.000
that<00:39:44.340><c> ordinary</c><00:39:44.699><c> people</c><00:39:45.199><c> can</c><00:39:45.599><c> do</c><00:39:45.920><c> if</c><00:39:46.199><c> they</c><00:39:46.420><c> want</c><00:39:46.559><c> to</c><00:39:46.760><c> do</c><00:39:46.900><c> them.</c>

00:39:47.019 --> 00:39:49.320
So<00:39:47.159><c> here</c><00:39:47.300><c> are</c><00:39:47.460><c> the</c><00:39:47.579><c> positive</c><00:39:47.900><c> steps</c><00:39:48.239><c> then.</c>

00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:51.960
So<00:39:49.559><c> the</c><00:39:49.699><c> first</c><00:39:49.900><c> of</c><00:39:50.039><c> them</c><00:39:50.260><c> was</c><00:39:50.539><c> that</c><00:39:50.820><c> very</c><00:39:51.000><c> matter</c><00:39:51.300><c> of</c><00:39:51.699><c> reading</c>

00:39:56.579 --> 00:40:00.659
And<00:39:56.900><c> it's</c><00:39:57.079><c> better</c><00:39:57.440><c> if</c><00:39:57.840><c> we</c><00:39:58.119><c> read</c><00:39:58.480><c> by</c><00:39:59.760><c> the</c><00:39:59.900><c> Bible</c><00:40:00.139><c> companion.</c>

00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:04.679
the<00:40:04.500><c> sense</c>

00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:07.139

whatever<00:40:07.380><c> it</c><00:40:07.559><c> is.</c>

00:40:07.860 --> 00:40:09.980
Well,<00:40:08.500><c> that</c><00:40:08.719><c> may</c><00:40:08.860><c> be</c><00:40:09.079><c> so,</c>

00:40:10.099 --> 00:40:12.820

00:40:16.920 --> 00:40:19.159

All<00:40:22.159><c> right?</c>

00:40:23.820 --> 00:40:26.579
There's<00:40:23.980><c> a</c><00:40:24.099><c> most</c><00:40:24.340><c> wretched</c><00:40:24.760><c> chapter</c><00:40:25.179><c> in</c><00:40:25.380><c> Leviticus</c>

of<00:40:40.579><c> them.</c>

00:40:42.679 --> 00:40:46.579
You<00:40:42.820><c> know,</c><00:40:43.440><c> so</c><00:40:43.719><c> don't</c><00:40:43.860><c> you</c><00:40:44.079><c> say</c><00:40:44.239><c> we</c><00:40:44.820><c> don't</c><00:40:45.039><c> read</c><00:40:45.280><c> these</c><00:40:45.599><c> things</c>

00:41:08.940 --> 00:41:10.619
What<00:41:09.179><c> do</c><00:41:09.380><c> you</c><00:41:09.460><c> let</c><00:41:09.679><c> in?</c>

00:41:15.179 --> 00:41:17.340
That's<00:41:15.539><c> because</c><00:41:15.719><c> we</c><00:41:15.920><c> are</c><00:41:16.239><c> passing</c><00:41:16.559><c> through</c><00:41:16.780><c> this</c><00:41:17.039><c> world</c><00:41:17.179><c> in</c>

There's<00:44:30.639><c> no</c><00:44:30.880><c> way</c><00:44:31.260><c> that</c><00:44:31.539><c> it</c><00:44:31.699><c> isn't</c><00:44:32.039><c> true.</c>

00:44:32.619 --> 00:44:34.980

00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:51.119
Paul<00:44:49.699><c> said</c><00:44:49.980><c> this,</c>

00:44:56.699 --> 00:45:00.219
Now,<00:44:57.079><c> Paul</c><00:44:57.659><c> said</c><00:44:58.079><c> he</c><00:44:58.380><c> had</c><00:44:58.639><c> to</c><00:44:59.000><c> strive</c><00:44:59.380><c> to</c><00:44:59.639><c> do</c><00:44:59.820><c> that.</c>

00:45:00.219 --> 00:45:03.000
He<00:45:00.900><c> didn't</c><00:45:01.019><c> let</c><00:45:01.219><c> his</c><00:45:01.340><c> thoughts</c><00:45:01.500><c> just</c><00:45:01.699><c> go</c><00:45:01.920><c> wandering.</c>

00:45:03.300 --> 00:45:05.960
He<00:45:03.360><c> said</c><00:45:03.579><c> about</c><00:45:03.920><c> bringing</c><00:45:04.199><c> them</c><00:45:04.360><c> into</c><00:45:04.539><c> captivity,</c><00:45:05.039><c> having</c><00:45:05.239><c> control</c><00:45:05.719><c> of</c><00:45:05.880><c> them.</c>

00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:07.719
And<00:45:06.119><c> that's</c><00:45:06.340><c> the</c><00:45:06.420><c> most</c><00:45:06.619><c> difficult</c><00:45:06.920><c> part,</c><00:45:07.340><c> isn't</c><00:45:07.420><c> it?</c>

Brother<00:46:41.980><c> Harry.</c>

00:46:43.059 --> 00:46:44.480
First<00:46:43.320><c> of</c><00:46:43.420><c> all,</c><00:46:43.440><c> because</c><00:46:43.619><c> I</c><00:46:43.719><c> don't</c><00:46:43.780><c> always</c><00:46:43.960><c> understand</c><00:46:44.340><c> what</c>

00:46:50.840 --> 00:46:53.719
Well,<00:46:51.000><c> then,</c><00:46:52.019><c> just</c><00:46:52.219><c> do</c><00:46:52.739><c> a</c><00:46:52.960><c> little.</c>

00:46:53.760 --> 00:46:55.320
There<00:46:54.039><c> should</c><00:46:54.159><c> be</c><00:46:54.340><c> something.</c>

00:46:55.400 --> 00:46:56.119
There<00:46:55.579><c> should</c><00:46:55.679><c> be</c><00:46:55.840><c> something.</c>

00:47:08.900 --> 00:47:14.760
When<00:47:09.599><c> I</c><00:47:09.780><c> first</c><00:47:10.079><c> met</c><00:47:10.280><c> her</c><00:47:12.340><c> as</c><00:47:13.199><c> a</c><00:47:13.400><c> housewife,</c>

00:47:19.940 --> 00:47:22.000
There<00:47:19.960><c> were</c><00:47:20.159><c> no</c><00:47:20.340><c> washing</c><00:47:20.519><c>-up</c><00:47:20.719><c> machines</c><00:47:21.039><c> in</c><00:47:21.219><c> those</c><00:47:21.460><c> days,</c><00:47:21.639><c> so</c>

00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:23.440
that's<00:47:22.300><c> how</c><00:47:22.440><c> she</c><00:47:22.579><c> did</c><00:47:22.739><c> it.</c>

00:47:24.179 --> 00:47:26.440
Brother<00:47:24.380><c> John</c><00:47:24.679><c> Carter</c><00:47:25.099><c> was</c><00:47:25.900><c> a</c><00:47:26.179><c> grocer.</c>

00:47:26.519 --> 00:47:27.840
He<00:47:26.659><c> worked</c><00:47:26.780><c> in</c><00:47:26.940><c> a</c><00:47:27.099><c> grocer's</c><00:47:27.539><c> shop.</c>

00:47:28.300 --> 00:47:30.559
He<00:47:28.539><c> owned</c><00:47:28.800><c> a</c><00:47:28.980><c> little</c><00:47:29.139><c> grocer's</c><00:47:29.639><c> shop.</c>

00:47:30.659 --> 00:47:32.539
Well,<00:47:30.800><c> the</c><00:47:31.000><c> customers</c><00:47:31.199><c> came</c><00:47:31.519><c> and</c><00:47:31.679><c> the</c><00:47:31.900><c> customers</c><00:47:32.119><c> went,</c>

00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:35.059

00:47:35.059 --> 00:47:35.840
spare<00:47:35.260><c> time.</c>

00:47:35.840 --> 00:47:39.719
See,<00:47:36.179><c> a</c><00:47:36.239><c> little</c><00:47:36.500><c> reading</c><00:47:36.739><c> desk</c><00:47:37.579><c> there</c><00:47:38.340><c> with</c><00:47:38.639><c> books</c><00:47:38.880><c> on.</c>

00:47:40.199 --> 00:47:43.500
And<00:47:40.500><c> that's</c><00:47:40.780><c> how</c><00:47:41.480><c> he</c><00:47:41.679><c> equated</c><00:47:41.960><c> himself</c><00:47:42.300><c> with</c><00:47:42.599><c> things.</c>

00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:46.099
That's<00:47:43.900><c> how</c><00:47:44.159><c> many</c><00:47:44.460><c> things</c><00:47:44.860><c> people</c><00:47:45.179><c> equate</c><00:47:45.519><c> themselves.</c>

00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:49.659
So<00:47:46.900><c> set</c><00:47:47.079><c> yourself</c><00:47:47.360><c> a</c><00:47:47.980><c> reading</c><00:47:48.579><c> program.</c>

00:48:03.260 --> 00:48:07.260
I<00:48:03.980><c> put</c><00:48:04.159><c> it</c><00:48:04.400><c> in</c><00:48:04.760><c> more</c><00:48:05.219><c> brutal</c><00:48:05.619><c> words</c><00:48:05.940><c> sometimes.</c>

00:48:07.360 --> 00:48:09.820

00:52:01.739 --> 00:52:03.539

00:52:50.760 --> 00:52:54.219
I'm<00:52:50.900><c> not</c><00:52:51.079><c> talking</c><00:52:51.260><c> about</c><00:52:51.400><c> some</c><00:52:51.659><c> highfalutin</c><00:52:52.400><c> stuff,</c><00:52:53.079><c> you</c><00:52:53.239><c> know?</c>

00:53:06.659 --> 00:53:09.179
They<00:53:06.739><c> that</c><00:53:06.980><c> fear</c><00:53:07.139><c> the</c><00:53:07.360><c> Lord</c><00:53:07.739><c> spake</c><00:53:08.179><c> often</c><00:53:08.460><c> one</c><00:53:08.719><c> to</c><00:53:08.920><c> another,</c>

00:53:11.619 --> 00:53:13.059
That's<00:53:11.780><c> what</c><00:53:11.940><c> the</c><00:53:12.079><c> Scripture</c><00:53:12.300><c> says.</c>

All<00:53:13.320><c> right?</c>

00:53:14.380 --> 00:53:17.900
So<00:53:14.619><c> ask</c><00:53:15.460><c> yourself</c><00:53:15.699><c> the</c><00:53:15.880><c> question,</c><00:53:16.320><c> is</c><00:53:16.559><c> that</c><00:53:16.739><c> what</c><00:53:16.860><c> you're</c><00:53:17.039><c> doing?</c>

00:53:31.019 --> 00:53:32.659
Remember<00:53:31.340><c> a</c><00:53:31.460><c> brother</c><00:53:31.679><c> who</c><00:53:31.820><c> was</c><00:53:31.900><c> saying</c><00:53:32.159><c> that</c><00:53:32.380><c> he'd</c><00:53:32.460><c> been</c><00:53:32.539><c> in</c>

00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:38.400
And<00:53:36.059><c> then</c><00:53:36.139><c> he</c><00:53:36.300><c> said</c><00:53:36.480><c> with</c><00:53:36.639><c> a</c><00:53:36.800><c> broken</c><00:53:37.039><c> voice</c><00:53:37.420><c> and</c><00:53:37.599><c> said,</c>

her<00:53:41.139><c> hands</c><00:53:41.400><c> can</c><00:53:41.659><c> hardly</c><00:53:41.880><c> move</c><00:53:42.199><c> for</c><00:53:42.460><c> arthritis,</c>

00:53:44.420 --> 00:53:46.519
which<00:53:44.619><c> he</c><00:53:44.760><c> was</c><00:53:44.900><c> the</c><00:53:45.039><c> one</c><00:53:45.119><c> who</c><00:53:45.219><c> wrote</c><00:53:45.380><c> in</c><00:53:45.559><c> the</c><00:53:45.679><c> letter.</c>

00:53:46.699 --> 00:53:49.360
Let's<00:53:46.920><c> not</c><00:53:47.039><c> make</c><00:53:47.219><c> excuses</c><00:53:47.639><c> about</c><00:53:47.820><c> what</c><00:53:48.000><c> we</c><00:53:48.079><c> can</c><00:53:48.300><c> do.</c>

00:53:49.599 --> 00:53:52.980
We<00:53:49.719><c> can</c><00:53:49.900><c> all</c><00:53:50.320><c> make</c><00:53:50.739><c> contact</c><00:53:51.280><c> with</c><00:53:51.500><c> our</c><00:53:51.659><c> brethren</c><00:53:51.920><c> and</c><00:53:52.219><c> sisters.</c>

00:53:53.039 --> 00:53:54.480
Do<00:53:53.300><c> you</c><00:53:53.480><c> pray</c><00:53:53.679><c> for</c><00:53:53.860><c> other</c><00:53:54.099><c> people?</c>

00:53:54.599 --> 00:53:56.360
You<00:53:54.719><c> know,</c><00:53:54.840><c> that's</c><00:53:55.000><c> where</c><00:53:55.139><c> this</c><00:53:55.440><c> use</c><00:53:55.579><c> of</c><00:53:55.800><c> prayer</c><00:53:55.960><c> again.</c>

00:53:56.739 --> 00:53:58.039
We<00:53:56.820><c> often</c><00:53:57.059><c> center</c><00:53:57.280><c> it</c><00:53:57.360><c> on</c><00:53:57.500><c> ourselves.</c>

00:53:58.099 --> 00:53:59.260
What<00:53:58.260><c> about</c><00:53:58.360><c> other</c><00:53:58.619><c> people?</c>

00:53:59.559 --> 00:54:01.000
Do<00:53:59.719><c> we</c><00:53:59.860><c> do</c><00:54:00.099><c> that?</c>

00:54:01.860 --> 00:54:06.679
So<00:54:02.300><c> there</c><00:54:02.679><c> are</c><00:54:03.420><c> seven</c><00:54:04.099><c> practical</c><00:54:05.440><c> steps.</c>

00:54:06.920 --> 00:54:07.619
You<00:54:06.940><c> may</c><00:54:07.139><c> think</c><00:54:07.320><c> of</c><00:54:07.460><c> others.</c>

00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:10.300
I'm<00:54:07.860><c> not</c><00:54:08.139><c> suggesting</c><00:54:08.519><c> that</c><00:54:08.739><c> that's</c><00:54:08.940><c> an</c><00:54:09.159><c> exhaustive</c><00:54:09.639><c> list</c><00:54:09.820><c> at</c><00:54:10.099><c> all</c>

00:54:21.340 --> 00:54:23.019
And<00:54:21.519><c> we</c><00:54:21.599><c> do</c><00:54:21.800><c> talk</c><00:54:22.059><c> to</c><00:54:22.239><c> each</c><00:54:22.480><c> other.</c>

And<00:54:23.460><c> we</c><00:54:23.559><c> wouldn't</c><00:54:23.900><c> talk</c><00:54:24.760><c> if</c><00:54:25.400><c> we...</c>

When<00:54:29.699><c> you're</c><00:54:30.079><c> retired,</c><00:54:30.500><c> it's</c><00:54:30.559><c> a</c><00:54:30.619><c> bit</c><00:54:30.719><c> easier</c><00:54:31.000><c> to</c><00:54:31.219><c> do</c><00:54:31.320><c> that.</c>

Now,<00:54:38.340><c> that</c><00:54:38.619><c> helps</c><00:54:38.940><c> with</c><00:54:39.199><c> the</c><00:54:39.360><c> day,</c><00:54:39.719><c> then.</c>

00:54:39.820 --> 00:54:41.920
You've<00:54:40.019><c> got</c><00:54:40.099><c> that</c><00:54:40.380><c> word</c><00:54:40.539><c> in</c><00:54:40.679><c> your</c><00:54:40.980><c> mind.</c>

00:54:41.980 --> 00:54:44.519
I<00:54:42.239><c> know</c><00:54:42.400><c> your</c><00:54:42.679><c> day</c><00:54:42.840><c> may</c><00:54:43.039><c> be</c><00:54:43.260><c> busier</c><00:54:43.619><c> and</c><00:54:43.820><c> so</c><00:54:44.019><c> on,</c>

00:54:44.920 --> 00:54:49.840
but<00:54:45.059><c> I</c><00:54:45.619><c> think</c><00:54:45.780><c> you</c><00:54:46.000><c> should</c><00:54:46.460><c> just</c><00:54:47.619><c> take</c><00:54:48.559><c> a</c><00:54:48.780><c> minute</c><00:54:48.940><c> or</c><00:54:49.139><c> two</c>

00:54:50.119 --> 00:54:54.199
before<00:54:50.519><c> setting</c><00:54:50.739><c> out</c><00:54:51.000><c> to</c><00:54:51.219><c> work</c><00:54:51.679><c> to</c><00:54:52.619><c> read</c><00:54:52.800><c> the</c><00:54:53.000><c> Word</c><00:54:53.099><c> of</c><00:54:53.320><c> God.</c>

00:54:54.820 --> 00:54:56.539
You<00:54:55.000><c> can</c><00:54:55.139><c> do</c><00:54:55.239><c> the</c><00:54:55.400><c> rest</c><00:54:55.539><c> later</c><00:54:55.800><c> on,</c><00:54:55.980><c> but</c><00:54:56.099><c> I</c><00:54:56.219><c> think</c><00:54:56.280><c> you</c><00:54:56.440><c> should</c>

00:54:56.539 --> 00:54:57.260
do<00:54:56.960><c> some,</c>

00:54:57.260 --> 00:55:00.039
because<00:54:57.659><c> you'd</c><00:54:58.039><c> be</c><00:54:58.280><c> surprised</c><00:54:58.800><c> how</c><00:54:59.199><c> you</c><00:54:59.360><c> would</c><00:54:59.500><c> discover</c>

00:55:00.039 --> 00:55:02.559
that<00:55:00.539><c> you</c><00:55:00.719><c> start</c><00:55:00.960><c> thinking</c><00:55:01.280><c> about</c><00:55:01.619><c> it</c><00:55:01.780><c> when</c><00:55:01.920><c> you're</c><00:55:02.079><c> doing</c><00:55:02.260><c> things.</c>

00:55:02.599 --> 00:55:03.880
It<00:55:02.880><c> works.</c>

00:55:04.380 --> 00:55:06.179
This<00:55:04.519><c> is</c><00:55:04.659><c> the</c><00:55:04.860><c> powerhouse</c><00:55:05.199><c> that</c><00:55:05.380><c> God's</c><00:55:05.659><c> given</c><00:55:05.739><c> us,</c><00:55:05.980><c> isn't</c><00:55:06.079><c> it?</c>

00:55:06.219 --> 00:55:08.519
That<00:55:06.460><c> and</c><00:55:06.760><c> prayer</c><00:55:07.019><c> are</c><00:55:07.400><c> the</c><00:55:07.579><c> powerhouse.</c>

00:55:08.820 --> 00:55:11.239
And<00:55:08.980><c> therefore,</c><00:55:09.980><c> if</c><00:55:10.099><c> you</c><00:55:10.199><c> want</c><00:55:10.320><c> to</c><00:55:10.480><c> have</c><00:55:10.619><c> the</c><00:55:10.820><c> fire</c><00:55:10.960><c> of</c><00:55:11.119><c> our</c>

00:55:12.480 --> 00:55:14.599

00:55:15.099 --> 00:55:19.340
You're<00:55:15.239><c> living</c><00:55:15.400><c> amongst</c><00:55:16.320><c> a</c><00:55:17.420><c> Christodophia</c><00:55:17.960><c> that</c><00:55:18.099><c> was</c><00:55:18.840><c> very</c>

00:55:20.739 --> 00:55:21.840

00:55:23.820 --> 00:55:29.920
I<00:55:24.000><c> just</c><00:55:24.260><c> heard</c><00:55:24.480><c> the</c><00:55:25.079><c> song</c><00:55:25.320><c> being</c><00:55:25.579><c> sung</c><00:55:26.039><c> just</c><00:55:27.659><c> yesterday,</c><00:55:28.079><c> I</c><00:55:28.219><c> think</c><00:55:28.440><c> it</c><00:55:28.639><c> was,</c>

00:55:31.219 --> 00:55:34.619
from<00:55:31.380><c> an</c><00:55:31.599><c> oratorio,</c><00:55:32.900><c> and</c><00:55:33.000><c> that</c><00:55:33.159><c> was</c><00:55:33.360><c> Lord</c><00:55:33.719><c> God</c><00:55:33.940><c> of</c><00:55:34.139><c> Abraham,</c>

00:55:34.940 --> 00:55:36.179
Isaac,<00:55:35.679><c> and</c><00:55:35.940><c> Jacob.</c>

00:55:36.199 --> 00:55:39.820
That's<00:55:36.460><c> how</c><00:55:36.579><c> he</c><00:55:36.840><c> started</c><00:55:37.059><c> his</c><00:55:37.380><c> prayer</c><00:55:37.699><c> on</c><00:55:38.119><c> the</c><00:55:38.239><c> top</c><00:55:38.360><c> of</c><00:55:38.500><c> Mount</c><00:55:38.699><c> Carmel.</c>

00:55:40.519 --> 00:55:42.579
And<00:55:40.780><c> it</c><00:55:40.880><c> wasn't</c><00:55:41.079><c> just</c><00:55:41.380><c> a</c><00:55:41.559><c> prayer</c><00:55:41.639><c> because</c><00:55:41.940><c> God</c><00:55:42.179><c> answered</c><00:55:42.420><c> him</c>

00:55:42.579 --> 00:55:43.920
with<00:55:42.840><c> fire.</c>

00:55:44.480 --> 00:55:46.619
So<00:55:44.579><c> there</c><00:55:44.739><c> was</c><00:55:44.900><c> the</c><00:55:45.079><c> fire</c><00:55:45.239><c> of</c><00:55:45.360><c> our</c><00:55:45.480><c> early</c><00:55:45.719><c> brethren.</c>

00:55:48.179 --> 00:55:50.179
They<00:55:48.579><c> got</c><00:55:48.800><c> their</c><00:55:49.119><c> fire</c><00:55:49.539><c> direct.</c>

00:55:50.360 --> 00:55:52.019
We<00:55:50.519><c> should</c><00:55:50.599><c> not</c><00:55:50.780><c> get</c><00:55:50.940><c> that</c><00:55:51.179><c> in</c><00:55:51.340><c> that</c><00:55:51.599><c> sense</c><00:55:51.739><c> at</c><00:55:51.940><c> all,</c>

00:55:52.019 --> 00:55:53.920
but<00:55:52.159><c> we</c><00:55:52.179><c> should</c><00:55:52.320><c> get</c><00:55:52.519><c> blessings</c><00:55:52.800><c> of</c><00:55:53.059><c> God.</c>

00:55:54.199 --> 00:55:55.460
They<00:55:54.400><c> needed</c><00:55:54.719><c> that</c><00:55:55.039><c> fire.</c>

00:55:55.599 --> 00:55:58.340
It<00:55:55.679><c> was</c><00:55:55.860><c> the</c><00:55:56.019><c> fire</c><00:55:56.139><c> that</c><00:55:56.320><c> lit</c><00:55:56.420><c> the</c><00:55:56.639><c> altar</c><00:55:57.000><c> at</c><00:55:57.400><c> the</c><00:55:57.539><c> tabernacle</c>

00:55:58.340 --> 00:55:59.960
the<00:55:58.559><c> very</c><00:55:58.840><c> first</c><00:55:59.559><c> time.</c>

00:56:00.099 --> 00:56:01.820
It<00:56:00.099><c> was</c><00:56:00.619><c> God</c><00:56:00.980><c> who</c><00:56:01.159><c> did</c><00:56:01.320><c> it.</c>

00:56:01.920 --> 00:56:04.199
And<00:56:02.059><c> so</c><00:56:02.159><c> it</c><00:56:02.300><c> was,</c><00:56:02.739><c> you</c><00:56:02.920><c> know,</c><00:56:03.000><c> when</c><00:56:03.139><c> God</c><00:56:03.400><c> filled</c><00:56:03.659><c> Solomon's</c>

00:56:04.199 --> 00:56:05.739
temple<00:56:04.400><c> with</c><00:56:04.579><c> his</c><00:56:04.780><c> glory.</c>

00:56:06.219 --> 00:56:11.619
This<00:56:06.400><c> is</c><00:56:06.760><c> when</c><00:56:07.039><c> the</c><00:56:07.380><c> fire</c><00:56:07.559><c> of</c><00:56:07.800><c> God</c><00:56:08.239><c> broke</c><00:56:08.719><c> out</c><00:56:08.980><c> upon</c><00:56:09.199><c> the</c><00:56:10.860><c> early</c>

00:56:11.619 --> 00:56:13.480
brethren,<00:56:12.139><c> wherever</c><00:56:12.380><c> they</c><00:56:12.679><c> were.</c>

00:56:13.500 --> 00:56:17.579
I<00:56:13.679><c> even</c><00:56:13.940><c> think</c><00:56:14.139><c> that</c><00:56:14.500><c> Abel's</c><00:56:14.840><c> sacrifice</c><00:56:15.659><c> right</c><00:56:16.820><c> at</c><00:56:17.000><c> the</c><00:56:17.139><c> beginning</c>

00:56:17.579 --> 00:56:23.139
was<00:56:18.519><c> probably</c><00:56:18.960><c> accepted</c><00:56:19.679><c> by</c><00:56:20.139><c> fire</c><00:56:20.820><c> direct,</c><00:56:22.119><c> either</c><00:56:22.440><c> from</c><00:56:22.699><c> God</c>

00:56:23.139 --> 00:56:25.159
or<00:56:23.920><c> from</c><00:56:24.119><c> the</c><00:56:24.300><c> Caribbean.</c>

00:56:26.199 --> 00:56:30.179
There's<00:56:26.320><c> just</c><00:56:26.500><c> a</c><00:56:26.639><c> little</c><00:56:27.000><c> expression</c><00:56:27.519><c> in</c><00:56:28.440><c> Hebrews</c><00:56:28.739><c> that</c><00:56:29.500><c> suggests</c><00:56:29.940><c> that</c>

00:56:30.179 --> 00:56:31.599
that<00:56:30.320><c> is</c><00:56:30.480><c> the</c><00:56:30.639><c> case.</c>

00:56:32.059 --> 00:56:34.840
Well,<00:56:32.219><c> now,</c><00:56:32.460><c> that's</c><00:56:32.980><c> our</c><00:56:33.199><c> time,</c><00:56:33.420><c> I</c><00:56:33.619><c> think.</c>

00:56:35.980 --> 00:56:41.280
And<00:56:36.320><c> so</c><00:56:37.019><c> we're</c><00:56:37.599><c> pretty</c><00:56:37.820><c> well</c><00:56:37.980><c> on</c><00:56:38.340><c> time,</c><00:56:39.900><c> if</c><00:56:40.300><c> I</c><00:56:40.539><c> remember</c><00:56:40.960><c> rightly.</c>

00:56:41.440 --> 00:56:42.260
We've<00:56:41.619><c> picked</c><00:56:41.739><c> up</c><00:56:41.900><c> our</c><00:56:42.119><c> time.</c>

00:56:42.440 --> 00:56:44.000
Now,<00:56:42.619><c> tell</c><00:56:42.760><c> me.</c>

00:56:44.280 --> 00:56:45.239
Now,<00:56:44.519><c> don't</c><00:56:44.699><c> go</c><00:56:44.820><c> to</c><00:56:44.980><c> sleep.</c>

00:56:45.239 --> 00:56:49.880
Now,<00:56:45.699><c> tell</c><00:56:45.860><c> me,</c><00:56:46.960><c> was</c><00:56:47.320><c> this</c><00:56:47.659><c> morning</c><00:56:48.179><c> any</c><00:56:48.800><c> use?</c>

00:56:50.900 --> 00:56:51.719
Was<00:56:51.039><c> it</c><00:56:51.219><c> useful?</c>

00:56:52.059 --> 00:56:52.880
Yes.

00:56:53.280 --> 00:56:54.039
All<00:56:53.800><c> right.</c>

00:56:54.179 --> 00:56:56.059
And<00:56:54.320><c> is</c><00:56:54.539><c> that</c><00:56:54.780><c> approach</c><00:56:55.159><c> OK?</c>

00:56:56.239 --> 00:56:59.599
I<00:56:56.760><c> mean,</c><00:56:56.820><c> if</c><00:56:56.900><c> I'm</c><00:56:57.159><c> direct</c><00:56:57.480><c> and</c><00:56:57.679><c> give</c><00:56:58.239><c> ideas,</c><00:56:58.800><c> is</c><00:56:58.880><c> that</c><00:56:59.079><c> all</c><00:56:59.280><c> right?</c>

00:56:59.880 --> 00:57:01.159
You're<00:57:00.400><c> satisfied</c><00:57:00.800><c> with</c><00:57:00.980><c> that?</c>

00:57:01.179 --> 00:57:03.480
Because<00:57:01.320><c> I</c><00:57:01.400><c> don't</c><00:57:01.539><c> want</c><00:57:01.639><c> to</c><00:57:01.780><c> do</c><00:57:01.860><c> anything,</c><00:57:02.420><c> you</c><00:57:02.659><c> know,</c><00:57:03.219><c> just</c>

00:57:03.480 --> 00:57:04.860
to<00:57:03.639><c> waste</c><00:57:03.739><c> your</c><00:57:04.000><c> time</c><00:57:04.219><c> on</c><00:57:04.460><c> mine.</c>

00:57:05.239 --> 00:57:09.619
And<00:57:05.539><c> as</c><00:57:06.019><c> you</c><00:57:06.179><c> know,</c><00:57:06.679><c> I'm</c><00:57:07.679><c> a</c><00:57:07.800><c> kind</c><00:57:07.900><c> of</c><00:57:08.800><c> gentle</c><00:57:09.219><c> person.</c>

00:57:09.619 --> 00:57:11.179
That's<00:57:10.019><c> my</c><00:57:10.239><c> sort</c><00:57:10.360><c> of</c><00:57:10.699><c> personality.</c>

00:57:11.179 --> 00:57:14.980
And<00:57:11.820><c> so</c><00:57:11.980><c> I</c><00:57:12.300><c> find</c><00:57:12.480><c> it</c><00:57:12.699><c> hard,</c><00:57:13.360><c> then,</c><00:57:13.579><c> to</c><00:57:14.019><c> sort</c><00:57:14.179><c> of</c><00:57:14.380><c> fire</c><00:57:14.619><c> away</c><00:57:14.820><c> on</c>

00:57:14.980 --> 00:57:16.360
some<00:57:15.139><c> of</c><00:57:15.260><c> these</c><00:57:15.460><c> things.</c>

00:57:17.280 --> 00:57:21.519
But,<00:57:17.679><c> you</c><00:57:18.079><c> know,</c><00:57:18.119><c> it's</c><00:57:18.280><c> like</c><00:57:18.480><c> when</c><00:57:19.099><c> you're</c><00:57:20.139><c> in</c><00:57:20.559><c> the</c><00:57:20.800><c> street</c>

00:57:21.739 --> 00:57:25.300
and<00:57:22.139><c> somebody</c><00:57:22.539><c> is</c><00:57:23.019><c> going</c><00:57:23.179><c> to</c><00:57:23.320><c> step</c><00:57:23.420><c> off</c><00:57:23.599><c> the</c><00:57:23.820><c> sidewalk</c><00:57:24.179><c> straight</c><00:57:24.500><c> into</c><00:57:24.679><c> a</c><00:57:24.960><c> car,</c>

00:57:25.559 --> 00:57:28.400
you<00:57:25.699><c> don't</c><00:57:25.940><c> say,</c><00:57:26.280><c> George,</c><00:57:26.980><c> George,</c><00:57:27.880><c> do</c><00:57:28.000><c> you</c><00:57:28.099><c> to</c><00:57:28.239><c> him?</c>

00:57:28.599 --> 00:57:29.500
George!

00:57:31.119 --> 00:57:33.000
You've<00:57:31.519><c> got</c><00:57:31.699><c> to,</c><00:57:31.900><c> however</c><00:57:32.139><c> gentle</c><00:57:32.440><c> you</c><00:57:32.639><c> are.</c>

00:57:33.059 --> 00:57:35.860
And<00:57:33.280><c> it's</c><00:57:33.460><c> surprising</c><00:57:33.840><c> how</c><00:57:34.239><c> your</c><00:57:34.440><c> voice</c><00:57:34.659><c> comes</c><00:57:34.900><c> to</c><00:57:35.139><c> you,</c><00:57:35.280><c> isn't</c><00:57:35.420><c> it?</c>

00:57:36.039 --> 00:57:36.960
So<00:57:36.260><c> it</c><00:57:36.340><c> is</c><00:57:36.480><c> with</c><00:57:36.619><c> the</c><00:57:36.800><c> truth.</c>

00:57:37.019 --> 00:57:39.079
And<00:57:37.139><c> so</c><00:57:37.260><c> it's</c><00:57:37.360><c> going</c><00:57:37.460><c> to</c><00:57:37.579><c> be</c><00:57:37.659><c> for</c><00:57:37.920><c> the</c><00:57:38.159><c> rest</c><00:57:38.340><c> of</c><00:57:38.519><c> our</c><00:57:38.639><c> weekend.</c>

00:57:39.079 --> 00:57:42.480
And<00:57:40.000><c> we're</c><00:57:40.659><c> going</c><00:57:40.800><c> to</c><00:57:40.880><c> enjoy</c><00:57:41.179><c> it.</c>

00:57:44.480 --> 00:57:50.579
It's<00:57:44.980><c> interesting</c><00:57:45.320><c> that</c><00:57:46.019><c> because</c><00:57:46.719><c> of</c><00:57:46.860><c> the</c><00:57:46.980><c> weather</c><00:57:47.099><c> conditions</c><00:57:47.599><c> that</c>

00:57:50.860 --> 00:57:52.880
Sister<00:57:51.159><c> Bernice</c><00:57:51.460><c> asked</c><00:57:51.679><c> me</c><00:57:51.780><c> this</c><00:57:51.940><c> morning,</c><00:57:52.239><c> was</c><00:57:52.320><c> I</c><00:57:52.559><c> worried?</c>

00:57:53.159 --> 00:57:55.539
