We<00:12:37.460><c> probably</c><00:12:37.899><c> couldn't</c><00:12:38.159><c> think</c><00:12:38.559><c> of</c><00:12:38.779><c> everything</c><00:12:39.159><c> we</c><00:12:39.419><c> did</c><00:12:39.620><c> wrong.</c>

00:12:41.539 --> 00:12:46.080
Some<00:12:41.899><c> things</c><00:12:42.159><c> we</c><00:12:42.379><c> like</c><00:12:42.559><c> to</c><00:12:42.860><c> exorcise</c><00:12:43.440><c> from</c><00:12:43.700><c> our</c><00:12:43.940><c> lives,</c><00:12:45.039><c> things</c><00:12:45.279><c> we</c><00:12:45.500><c> never</c><00:12:45.740><c> want</c><00:12:45.899><c> to</c>

00:13:15.539 --> 00:13:18.779
The<00:13:16.039><c> sins</c><00:13:16.340><c> of</c><00:13:16.620><c> omission.</c>

00:13:19.620 --> 00:13:22.039
They're<00:13:19.879><c> so</c><00:13:20.100><c> omitted</c><00:13:20.440><c> from</c><00:13:20.659><c> our</c><00:13:20.899><c> lives</c><00:13:21.120><c> we</c><00:13:21.299><c> don't</c><00:13:21.539><c> even</c><00:13:21.779><c> know</c>

00:13:24.279 --> 00:13:27.139
How<00:13:24.539><c> can</c><00:13:24.759><c> we</c><00:13:25.159><c> think</c><00:13:25.519><c> about</c><00:13:25.820><c> what</c><00:13:26.000><c> we</c><00:13:26.159><c> don't</c><00:13:26.419><c> know</c><00:13:26.720><c> about?</c>

How<00:13:27.539><c> can</c><00:13:27.740><c> we</c><00:13:27.940><c> meditate</c><00:13:28.379><c> upon</c><00:13:28.620><c> a</c><00:13:28.820><c> list</c><00:13:29.000><c> of</c><00:13:29.240><c> findings</c><00:13:29.519><c> so</c><00:13:29.960><c> great</c>

00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:37.299
Now<00:13:35.659><c> that's</c><00:13:35.860><c> the</c><00:13:35.980><c> truth</c><00:13:36.139><c> of</c><00:13:36.299><c> it.</c>

00:24:58.819 --> 00:25:02.740
Yes,<00:24:59.299><c> we</c><00:24:59.599><c> take</c><00:24:59.859><c> the</c><00:25:00.059><c> bread</c><00:25:00.220><c> and</c><00:25:00.380><c> the</c><00:25:00.559><c> wine,</c><00:25:01.099><c> and</c><00:25:01.180><c> as</c><00:25:01.299><c> we</c><00:25:01.519><c> take</c><00:25:01.799><c> the</c><00:25:01.960><c> bread</c><00:25:02.180><c> we</c><00:25:02.380><c> think</c><00:25:02.619><c> a</c>

00:25:03.740 --> 00:25:06.059
We<00:25:03.900><c> take</c><00:25:04.160><c> the</c><00:25:04.339><c> wine,</c><00:25:04.539><c> we</c><00:25:04.680><c> think</c><00:25:04.900><c> a</c><00:25:05.019><c> little</c><00:25:05.240><c> about</c><00:25:05.539><c> his</c><00:25:05.799><c> blood.</c>

00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:28.420
So<00:25:21.680><c> he</c><00:25:21.960><c> says,</c><00:25:22.640><c> but</c><00:25:22.660><c> let</c><00:25:22.900><c> a</c><00:25:23.079><c> man</c><00:25:23.299><c> examine</c><00:25:24.019><c> himself,</c><00:25:26.079><c> and</c><00:25:26.279><c> a</c><00:25:26.380><c> woman,</c><00:25:28.160><c> and</c>

00:25:48.509 --> 00:25:50.039
That's<00:25:48.779><c> what</c><00:25:48.859><c> he's</c><00:25:49.019><c> saying.</c>

00:25:50.259 --> 00:25:55.140
If<00:25:50.500><c> you</c><00:25:50.680><c> don't</c><00:25:51.000><c> discern</c><00:25:51.339><c> what</c><00:25:51.599><c> the</c><00:25:51.740><c> Lord's</c><00:25:52.059><c> body</c><00:25:52.279><c> is</c><00:25:52.599><c> now,</c><00:25:54.319><c> then</c><00:25:54.480><c> you've</c><00:25:54.740><c> lost</c><00:25:54.920><c> the</c>
