00:09:57.940 --> 00:10:01.039
And<00:09:58.159><c> we</c><00:09:58.259><c> will</c><00:09:58.600><c> not</c><00:09:59.019><c> tolerate,</c><00:09:59.519><c> we</c><00:09:59.679><c> will</c><00:09:59.980><c> not</c><00:10:00.179><c> allow</c><00:10:00.500><c> anybody</c>

00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:08.059
We<00:10:03.840><c> will</c><00:10:04.580><c> stand</c><00:10:05.000><c> fast</c><00:10:05.580><c> in</c><00:10:05.820><c> that</c><00:10:06.080><c> which</c><00:10:06.500><c> we're</c><00:10:07.000><c> supposed</c><00:10:07.460><c> to</c><00:10:07.720><c> do.</c>

00:10:08.460 --> 00:10:12.580
And<00:10:08.600><c> so</c><00:10:08.720><c> he</c><00:10:08.840><c> says</c><00:10:08.980><c> they</c><00:10:09.279><c> speak</c><00:10:09.659><c> lies</c><00:10:10.139><c> and</c><00:10:10.480><c> hypocrisy.</c>

00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:16.019
Flash<00:10:13.100><c> the</c><00:10:13.399><c> wealth</c><00:10:13.620><c> of</c><00:10:13.840><c> this</c><00:10:14.120><c> age</c><00:10:14.399><c> and</c><00:10:14.820><c> say</c><00:10:14.980><c> you</c><00:10:15.100><c> can</c><00:10:15.360><c> have</c><00:10:15.679><c> that.</c>

00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:17.799
God<00:10:16.500><c> doesn't</c><00:10:16.840><c> promise</c><00:10:17.299><c> us</c><00:10:17.600><c> wealth.</c>

00:10:18.100 --> 00:10:21.220
What<00:10:18.279><c> he</c><00:10:18.480><c> does</c><00:10:18.720><c> promise</c><00:10:19.179><c> us</c><00:10:19.460><c> is</c><00:10:19.860><c> that</c><00:10:20.059><c> we</c><00:10:20.240><c> will</c><00:10:20.480><c> be</c><00:10:20.679><c> taken</c><00:10:20.899><c> care</c>

00:10:21.220 --> 00:10:22.720

00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:27.860
and<00:10:23.120><c> gloriously</c><00:10:24.799><c> taken</c><00:10:25.480><c> care</c><00:10:25.919><c> of</c><00:10:26.340><c> in</c><00:10:26.539><c> the</c><00:10:26.740><c> life</c><00:10:26.980><c> which</c><00:10:27.179><c> is</c><00:10:27.360><c> to</c><00:10:27.580><c> come.</c>

00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:31.340
So<00:10:28.559><c> is</c><00:10:28.759><c> it</c><00:10:28.980><c> worth</c><00:10:29.240><c> building</c><00:10:29.600><c> a</c><00:10:30.000><c> sound,</c><00:10:30.480><c> strong</c><00:10:30.840><c> ecclesia?</c>

00:10:31.340 --> 00:10:33.580
Yes,<00:10:32.200><c> it</c><00:10:32.340><c> is.</c>

00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.259
This<00:10:34.240><c> is</c><00:10:34.559><c> the</c><00:10:34.740><c> only</c><00:10:35.299><c> thing</c><00:10:35.740><c> that's</c><00:10:36.039><c> of</c><00:10:36.159><c> any</c><00:10:36.360><c> value.</c>

00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:42.240
You<00:10:39.659><c> know,</c><00:10:40.139><c> it's</c><00:10:40.480><c> not</c><00:10:40.759><c> good,</c><00:10:41.120><c> I</c><00:10:41.120><c> suppose,</c><00:10:41.759><c> sometimes</c><00:10:42.019><c> to</c><00:10:42.159><c> say,</c>

00:10:42.259 --> 00:10:45.460
well,<00:10:42.940><c> in</c><00:10:43.120><c> the</c><00:10:43.259><c> good</c><00:10:43.399><c> old</c><00:10:43.779><c> days.</c>

00:10:49.139 --> 00:10:52.220
Because<00:10:49.779><c> we're</c><00:10:50.019><c> in</c><00:10:50.639><c> a</c><00:10:50.840><c> different</c><00:10:51.159><c> era.</c>

00:10:52.860 --> 00:10:59.159
But<00:10:53.000><c> it</c><00:10:53.120><c> just</c><00:10:53.600><c> seems</c><00:10:54.139><c> to</c><00:10:54.399><c> me,</c><00:10:56.159><c> in</c><00:10:56.299><c> an</c><00:10:56.519><c> ecclesia</c><00:10:56.980><c> that</c><00:10:57.440><c> I</c><00:10:58.019><c> belong</c><00:10:58.360><c> to,</c>

00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:03.620
that<00:11:00.039><c> when</c><00:11:00.820><c> we</c><00:11:01.139><c> first</c><00:11:01.500><c> started</c><00:11:01.779><c> the</c><00:11:02.100><c> ecclesia</c><00:11:02.440><c> of</c><00:11:02.620><c> 18</c><00:11:03.059><c> people,</c>

00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:05.700
we<00:11:04.000><c> were</c><00:11:04.220><c> like</c><00:11:04.639><c> one.</c>

00:11:06.419 --> 00:11:11.960
When<00:11:06.600><c> we</c><00:11:06.799><c> grew</c><00:11:06.980><c> to</c><00:11:07.200><c> about</c><00:11:07.519><c> 40</c><00:11:07.860><c> or</c><00:11:08.080><c> 45,</c><00:11:09.320><c> everybody</c><00:11:09.740><c> else's</c><00:11:10.500><c> desires</c><00:11:10.940><c> were</c>

00:11:14.659 --> 00:11:15.899
And<00:11:14.860><c> we</c><00:11:15.019><c> built</c><00:11:15.259><c> a</c><00:11:15.600><c> hall.</c>

00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.799
And<00:11:16.539><c> we</c><00:11:16.779><c> worked</c><00:11:16.980><c> together</c><00:11:17.399><c> as</c><00:11:17.799><c> one</c><00:11:18.059><c> individual</c><00:11:18.620><c> with</c><00:11:18.940><c> many</c><00:11:19.240><c> hands.</c>

00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.879
And<00:11:20.419><c> there</c><00:11:20.620><c> was</c><00:11:20.820><c> such</c><00:11:21.440><c> a</c><00:11:21.879><c> camaraderie</c><00:11:22.639><c> ship</c><00:11:22.779><c> between</c><00:11:23.220><c> us.</c>

00:11:25.519 --> 00:11:27.840
And<00:11:25.820><c> that</c><00:11:26.019><c> seems</c><00:11:26.340><c> to</c><00:11:26.539><c> be</c><00:11:26.779><c> dissipating</c><00:11:27.399><c> a</c><00:11:27.580><c> bit.</c>

00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:32.480
The<00:11:29.059><c> family</c><00:11:29.519><c> units</c><00:11:29.879><c> are</c><00:11:30.179><c> staying</c><00:11:30.379><c> together.</c><00:11:31.019><c> That's</c><00:11:31.259><c> marvelous.</c>

00:11:33.059 --> 00:11:36.120
But<00:11:33.179><c> those</c><00:11:33.460><c> family</c><00:11:33.879><c> units</c><00:11:34.240><c> have</c><00:11:34.460><c> to</c><00:11:34.700><c> melt</c><00:11:35.000><c> into</c><00:11:35.360><c> other</c><00:11:35.700><c> family</c>

00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:40.139
units<00:11:36.500><c> so</c><00:11:36.879><c> that</c><00:11:37.059><c> we</c><00:11:37.240><c> become</c><00:11:37.600><c> a</c><00:11:38.080><c> large</c><00:11:38.720><c> family.</c>

00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:44.820
We<00:11:41.039><c> need</c><00:11:41.419><c> to</c><00:11:41.659><c> get</c><00:11:41.799><c> that</c><00:11:42.379><c> unity</c><00:11:42.840><c> of</c><00:11:43.240><c> mind</c><00:11:43.539><c> in</c><00:11:44.100><c> our</c><00:11:44.460><c> ecclesia.</c>

00:11:44.940 --> 00:11:46.940
And<00:11:45.100><c> I</c><00:11:45.240><c> don't</c><00:11:45.440><c> know</c><00:11:45.600><c> if</c><00:11:45.740><c> that's</c><00:11:46.080><c> in</c><00:11:46.179><c> your</c><00:11:46.440><c> ecclesia.</c>

00:11:47.419 --> 00:11:49.840
But<00:11:48.039><c> the</c><00:11:48.379><c> ecclesia</c><00:11:48.879><c> must</c><00:11:49.159><c> be</c><00:11:49.500><c> serviced.</c>

00:11:49.940 --> 00:11:52.399
It<00:11:50.000><c> must</c><00:11:50.220><c> be</c><00:11:50.419><c> something</c><00:11:50.740><c> we</c><00:11:51.059><c> want</c><00:11:51.340><c> to</c><00:11:51.600><c> be</c><00:11:52.019><c> with.</c>

00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:58.899
Because<00:11:52.919><c> that</c><00:11:53.779><c> is</c><00:11:54.240><c> a</c><00:11:54.440><c> group</c><00:11:54.600><c> of</c><00:11:55.000><c> called</c><00:11:55.279><c> out</c><00:11:55.580><c> ones</c><00:11:55.879><c> who</c><00:11:56.139><c> are</c><00:11:56.899><c> given</c><00:11:57.200><c> this</c><00:11:57.679><c> opportunity</c><00:11:58.460><c> to</c>

00:12:00.019 --> 00:12:01.519

00:12:01.779 --> 00:12:04.340
So<00:12:02.059><c> everything</c><00:12:02.580><c> that</c><00:12:02.840><c> goes</c><00:12:03.019><c> on,</c><00:12:03.259><c> if</c><00:12:03.379><c> it's</c><00:12:03.740><c> possible,</c>

00:12:04.700 --> 00:12:09.419

So<00:12:39.539><c> for</c><00:12:39.820><c> five</c><00:12:40.279><c> months</c><00:12:40.899><c> during</c><00:12:41.379><c> the</c><00:12:41.600><c> summer,</c><00:12:42.700><c> each</c><00:12:42.960><c> ecclesia</c>

00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:52.019
And<00:12:44.980><c> we</c><00:12:45.000><c> would</c><00:12:45.259><c> come</c><00:12:45.440><c> and</c><00:12:45.539><c> there</c><00:12:45.659><c> would</c><00:12:45.779><c> be</c><00:12:46.080><c> 350</c><00:12:47.820><c> people</c><00:12:48.779><c> at</c><00:12:49.399><c> every</c><00:12:50.919><c> function</c><00:12:51.379><c> of</c>

that<00:12:52.320><c> Sunday</c><00:12:52.620><c> school.</c>

00:12:55.759 --> 00:13:00.240
Now<00:12:56.279><c> an</c><00:12:56.759><c> ecclesia</c><00:12:57.200><c> can</c><00:12:57.480><c> hardly</c><00:12:57.720><c> get</c><00:12:57.940><c> its</c><00:12:58.259><c> own</c><00:12:58.500><c> members</c><00:12:58.879><c> out</c><00:12:59.919><c> to</c>

00:13:00.240 --> 00:13:00.600
a<00:13:00.399><c> picnic.</c>

00:13:00.659 --> 00:13:02.200
Why<00:13:00.980><c> is</c><00:13:01.299><c> that?</c>

00:13:02.340 --> 00:13:04.240
It's<00:13:02.580><c> because</c><00:13:03.019><c> we</c><00:13:03.340><c> have</c><00:13:03.600><c> so</c><00:13:03.980><c> much.</c>

00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.559
We<00:13:04.340><c> can</c><00:13:04.620><c> run</c><00:13:04.840><c> off</c><00:13:05.100><c> to</c><00:13:05.240><c> the</c><00:13:05.399><c> beach</c><00:13:05.559><c> any</c><00:13:05.879><c> time</c><00:13:06.100><c> we</c><00:13:06.360><c> want.</c>

00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:09.379
We<00:13:06.940><c> can</c><00:13:07.179><c> run</c><00:13:07.379><c> off</c><00:13:07.659><c> to</c><00:13:07.799><c> the</c><00:13:07.980><c> mountains</c><00:13:08.360><c> any</c><00:13:08.700><c> time</c><00:13:08.940><c> we</c><00:13:09.220><c> want.</c>

00:13:09.580 --> 00:13:12.220
We<00:13:09.740><c> can</c><00:13:09.980><c> run</c><00:13:10.200><c> off</c><00:13:10.480><c> to</c><00:13:10.639><c> the</c><00:13:10.779><c> desert</c><00:13:11.059><c> any</c><00:13:11.399><c> time</c><00:13:11.679><c> we</c><00:13:11.960><c> want.</c>

00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:16.259
Because<00:13:12.720><c> we</c><00:13:12.879><c> have</c><00:13:13.059><c> the</c><00:13:13.299><c> wherewithal</c><00:13:13.840><c> to</c><00:13:13.980><c> do</c><00:13:14.200><c> it.</c>

00:13:16.700 --> 00:13:20.019
It<00:13:16.720><c> is</c><00:13:17.059><c> easy</c><00:13:17.419><c> to</c><00:13:17.580><c> be</c><00:13:17.759><c> distracted</c><00:13:18.360><c> from</c><00:13:18.860><c> the</c><00:13:19.120><c> ways</c><00:13:19.360><c> of</c><00:13:19.639><c> God.</c>

00:13:20.299 --> 00:13:24.460
It<00:13:20.440><c> is</c><00:13:20.600><c> easy</c><00:13:20.879><c> to</c><00:13:21.059><c> be</c><00:13:21.200><c> moved</c><00:13:21.440><c> out</c><00:13:21.860><c> into</c><00:13:22.399><c> a</c><00:13:22.919><c> self</c><00:13:23.299><c>-satisfied</c><00:13:24.000><c> condition.</c>

00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:27.480
We<00:13:24.659><c> can't</c><00:13:25.000><c> allow</c><00:13:25.299><c> that</c><00:13:25.559><c> to</c><00:13:25.820><c> happen,</c><00:13:26.059><c> brothers</c><00:13:26.340><c> and</c><00:13:26.639><c> sisters.</c>

00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.580
The<00:13:28.360><c> urgency</c><00:13:28.940><c> of</c><00:13:29.159><c> our</c><00:13:29.340><c> matter</c><00:13:29.519><c> is</c><00:13:29.799><c> just</c><00:13:30.080><c> too</c><00:13:30.639><c> much.</c>

00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:34.799
So<00:13:31.919><c> he</c><00:13:32.120><c> says,</c><00:13:32.879><c> these</c><00:13:33.139><c> people</c><00:13:33.539><c> are</c><00:13:34.039><c> forbidding</c><00:13:34.460><c> marriage.</c>

00:13:34.860 --> 00:13:38.100
They're<00:13:35.080><c> worried</c><00:13:35.220><c> about</c><00:13:35.480><c> all</c><00:13:35.720><c> these</c><00:13:36.799><c> things</c><00:13:37.179><c> of</c><00:13:37.460><c> this</c><00:13:37.820><c> life.</c>

00:13:38.100 --> 00:13:41.519
And<00:13:38.320><c> these</c><00:13:38.539><c> Gnostics</c><00:13:38.960><c> were</c><00:13:39.259><c> growing</c><00:13:39.519><c> into</c><00:13:40.179><c> either</c><00:13:40.460><c> you're</c><00:13:40.799><c> all</c><00:13:41.039><c> spirit</c><00:13:41.360><c> or</c>

00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:42.279
you're<00:13:41.759><c> all</c><00:13:42.039><c> flesh.</c>

00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:44.240
You<00:13:42.440><c> can't</c><00:13:42.659><c> have</c><00:13:42.840><c> the</c><00:13:43.320><c> same.</c>

00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:48.600
Well,<00:13:45.840><c> we</c><00:13:46.080><c> come</c><00:13:46.320><c> down</c><00:13:46.659><c> to</c><00:13:47.320><c> leave</c><00:13:47.679><c> that</c><00:13:48.000><c> fake</c><00:13:48.220><c> teaching.</c>

00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:51.120
It's<00:13:48.919><c> of</c><00:13:49.039><c> no</c><00:13:49.259><c> value</c><00:13:49.539><c> anyway,</c><00:13:49.919><c> so</c><00:13:50.159><c> why</c><00:13:50.379><c> consider</c><00:13:50.879><c> it?</c>

00:13:51.460 --> 00:13:52.659
So<00:13:51.679><c> we'll</c><00:13:51.919><c> leave</c><00:13:52.100><c> it.</c>

00:13:53.139 --> 00:13:55.019
We<00:13:53.299><c> have</c><00:13:53.480><c> to</c><00:13:53.620><c> know</c><00:13:53.740><c> it's</c><00:13:54.059><c> there.</c>

00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:59.220
But<00:13:55.700><c> now</c><00:13:55.960><c> he</c><00:13:56.100><c> comes</c><00:13:56.399><c> down</c><00:13:56.720><c> and</c><00:13:56.899><c> he</c><00:13:57.080><c> gives...</c>

00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.500
Well,<00:14:03.620><c> and</c><00:14:03.759><c> he</c><00:14:03.840><c> gives</c><00:14:04.159><c> exercises.</c>

00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:13.759
Profits<00:14:11.759><c> a</c><00:14:11.940><c> little,</c><00:14:12.279><c> doesn't</c><00:14:12.419><c> it,</c><00:14:12.639><c> exercise?</c>

00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:16.960
It<00:14:14.139><c> hasn't</c><00:14:14.340><c> profited</c><00:14:14.759><c> me</c><00:14:15.000><c> much</c><00:14:15.220><c> because</c><00:14:15.500><c> I</c><00:14:15.700><c> do</c><00:14:15.799><c> too</c><00:14:16.100><c> little.</c>

00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:23.159
But<00:14:18.059><c> he</c><00:14:18.679><c> says,</c><00:14:19.480><c> if</c><00:14:19.600><c> thou</c><00:14:20.000><c> put</c><00:14:20.379><c> the</c><00:14:20.639><c> brethren</c><00:14:21.080><c> in</c><00:14:22.580><c> remembrance,</c>

00:14:30.220 --> 00:14:34.440
thou<00:14:30.899><c> shalt</c><00:14:31.220><c> be</c><00:14:31.519><c> a</c><00:14:31.820><c> good</c><00:14:32.100><c> minister</c><00:14:32.659><c> of</c><00:14:32.919><c> Jesus</c><00:14:33.399><c> Christ,</c>

That's<00:23:50.019><c> how</c><00:23:50.180><c> we</c><00:23:50.380><c> raise</c><00:23:50.539><c> our</c><00:23:50.799><c> children,</c><00:23:51.140><c> isn't</c><00:23:51.359><c> it?</c>

00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:54.859
Just<00:23:52.599><c> because</c><00:23:52.839><c> I</c><00:23:53.059><c> said</c><00:23:53.299><c> so?</c><00:23:53.799><c> No.</c>

00:23:55.400 --> 00:23:57.319
Because<00:23:55.960><c> this</c><00:23:56.519><c> is</c><00:23:56.839><c> why.</c>

00:23:57.319 --> 00:23:59.339
Our<00:23:58.079><c> god</c><00:23:58.460><c> says</c><00:23:58.740><c> this.</c>

00:23:59.579 --> 00:24:02.339
He's<00:23:59.960><c> trying</c><00:24:00.160><c> to</c><00:24:00.420><c> help</c><00:24:00.640><c> us.</c><00:24:00.920><c> He's</c><00:24:01.259><c> trying</c><00:24:01.420><c> to</c><00:24:01.640><c> encourage</c><00:24:02.000><c> us.</c>

00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:04.099
And<00:24:02.660><c> so</c><00:24:02.740><c> we</c><00:24:02.859><c> must</c><00:24:03.099><c> have</c><00:24:03.400><c> that</c><00:24:03.720><c> teaching.</c>

00:24:04.359 --> 00:24:05.799
We<00:24:04.519><c> must</c><00:24:04.740><c> have</c><00:24:04.920><c> that</c><00:24:05.220><c> understanding.</c>

00:24:06.140 --> 00:24:09.220
So<00:24:06.259><c> we</c><00:24:06.460><c> can</c><00:24:06.660><c> not</c><00:24:06.839><c> only</c><00:24:07.160><c> enjoin</c><00:24:07.759><c> upon</c><00:24:07.980><c> each</c><00:24:08.259><c> other</c>

00:24:09.089 --> 00:24:12.099
what<00:24:09.339><c> we're</c><00:24:09.759><c> supposed</c><00:24:10.180><c> to</c><00:24:10.380><c> do,</c><00:24:10.579><c> but</c><00:24:10.779><c> explain</c><00:24:11.559><c> why.</c>

00:24:12.460 --> 00:24:13.619
By<00:24:12.599><c> a</c><00:24:12.819><c> thus</c><00:24:13.019><c> says</c><00:24:13.220><c> the</c><00:24:13.440><c> Lord.</c>

00:24:13.700 --> 00:24:17.500
Not<00:24:13.880><c> because,</c><00:24:14.920><c> well,</c><00:24:15.059><c> I</c><00:24:15.259><c> think</c><00:24:15.480><c> that's</c><00:24:15.839><c> the</c><00:24:15.980><c> best</c><00:24:16.180><c> thing</c><00:24:16.380><c> to</c><00:24:16.579><c> do.</c>

00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:20.299
Because<00:24:18.380><c> we</c><00:24:18.599><c> all</c><00:24:18.779><c> have</c><00:24:18.980><c> different</c><00:24:19.279><c> things.</c>

00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:29.599
Let<00:24:26.039><c> no</c><00:24:26.339><c> man</c><00:24:26.799><c> despise</c><00:24:27.539><c> thy</c><00:24:27.759><c> youth,</c><00:24:28.160><c> he</c><00:24:28.299><c> tells</c><00:24:28.579><c> Timothy.</c>

00:24:49.859 --> 00:24:53.759
Timothy<00:24:50.599><c> was</c><00:24:51.039><c> not</c><00:24:52.339><c> a</c><00:24:52.819><c> boy.</c>

00:24:54.940 --> 00:24:57.240

00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:02.880
But<00:24:58.460><c> he</c><00:24:58.680><c> spoke</c><00:24:59.460><c> and</c><00:25:00.440><c> was</c><00:25:01.200><c> exhorting</c>

00:27:41.220 --> 00:27:43.140
If<00:27:41.420><c> somebody</c><00:27:41.799><c> came</c><00:27:42.079><c> in</c><00:27:42.299><c> and</c><00:27:42.480><c> tried</c><00:27:42.640><c> to</c><00:27:42.960><c> wrench</c>

00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:46.799
our<00:27:45.319><c> arms</c><00:27:45.559><c> would</c><00:27:45.759><c> be</c><00:27:46.019><c> so</c><00:27:46.240><c> unfolding</c>

00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:48.980
that<00:27:47.019><c> they</c><00:27:47.200><c> could</c><00:27:47.480><c> not</c><00:27:47.700><c> touch</c><00:27:47.980><c> them.</c>

00:27:49.920 --> 00:27:52.480
I<00:27:50.119><c> know</c><00:27:50.400><c> we</c><00:27:50.680><c> lose</c><00:27:51.240><c> some.</c>

00:27:53.599 --> 00:28:03.279
And<00:27:54.619><c> I</c><00:27:54.880><c> know</c><00:27:55.700><c> that</c><00:27:58.680><c> we</c><00:27:58.859><c> are</c><00:27:59.119><c> all</c><00:28:00.420><c> partially</c><00:28:01.539><c> to</c><00:28:01.940><c> blame.</c>

00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:07.900
We<00:28:05.680><c> get</c><00:28:05.980><c> used</c><00:28:06.319><c> to</c><00:28:06.559><c> this</c><00:28:06.819><c> life.</c>

00:28:09.160 --> 00:28:11.539
We<00:28:09.420><c> get</c><00:28:09.720><c> used</c><00:28:10.180><c> to</c><00:28:10.480><c> comfort.</c>

00:28:13.400 --> 00:28:16.880
We<00:28:13.680><c> get</c><00:28:13.960><c> used</c><00:28:14.779><c> to</c><00:28:15.339><c> our</c><00:28:15.519><c> own</c><00:28:15.779><c> way.</c>

00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:21.079
And<00:28:19.400><c> we</c><00:28:19.619><c> can't</c><00:28:19.920><c> be</c><00:28:20.200><c> concerned</c>

00:28:21.079 --> 00:28:25.079
of<00:28:22.500><c> things</c><00:28:22.759><c> outside</c><00:28:23.380><c> that</c><00:28:23.700><c> little</c><00:28:24.079><c> circle.</c>

00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:28.740
That's<00:28:27.680><c> selfish.</c>

00:28:29.980 --> 00:28:33.720
That's<00:28:30.400><c> not</c><00:28:31.599><c> selfless.</c>

00:28:35.740 --> 00:28:37.539
Link<00:28:35.940><c> your</c><00:28:36.240><c> arms.</c>

00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:39.539
Come<00:28:38.180><c> together.</c>

00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:43.980
Sacrifice<00:28:41.480><c> in</c><00:28:41.779><c> love</c><00:28:42.359><c> yourself</c>

00:28:44.700 --> 00:28:46.279
for<00:28:45.240><c> everyone.</c>

00:28:46.460 --> 00:28:47.900
That's<00:28:46.700><c> what</c><00:28:46.779><c> he's</c><00:28:46.940><c> saying.</c>

00:28:48.980 --> 00:28:50.200
Now<00:28:49.099><c> the</c><00:28:49.180><c> word</c><00:28:49.420><c> in</c><00:28:49.799><c> spirit</c>

00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:52.119
in<00:28:50.559><c> many</c><00:28:50.859><c> manuscripts</c><00:28:51.480><c> is</c><00:28:51.720><c> not</c><00:28:51.980><c> there,</c>

00:28:52.140 --> 00:28:54.539
but<00:28:52.240><c> I</c><00:28:52.400><c> don't</c><00:28:52.619><c> mind</c><00:28:53.140><c> leaving</c><00:28:53.579><c> it</c><00:28:53.819><c> there</c>

00:28:54.539 --> 00:28:56.920
because<00:28:55.039><c> we</c><00:28:55.279><c> should</c><00:28:55.480><c> be</c><00:28:56.059><c> an</c><00:28:56.339><c> example,</c>

00:28:57.140 --> 00:29:00.619

00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:03.400
The<00:29:00.940><c> mind</c><00:29:01.259><c> of</c><00:29:01.519><c> God</c><00:29:01.799><c> should</c><00:29:02.000><c> be</c><00:29:02.200><c> up</c><00:29:02.420><c> here.</c>

00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:06.019
It<00:29:03.619><c> should</c><00:29:03.740><c> be</c><00:29:03.940><c> a</c><00:29:04.140><c> mind</c><00:29:04.559><c> that</c><00:29:04.880><c> is</c><00:29:05.099><c> only</c><00:29:05.380><c> reflecting</c>

00:29:06.019 --> 00:29:07.759
that<00:29:06.500><c> which</c><00:29:06.759><c> we</c><00:29:06.960><c> have</c><00:29:07.079><c> been</c><00:29:07.380><c> taught.</c>

00:29:08.140 --> 00:29:10.619
We<00:29:08.299><c> have</c><00:29:08.619><c> emptied</c><00:29:09.059><c> ourselves</c><00:29:09.720><c> of</c><00:29:09.920><c> our</c><00:29:10.140><c> own</c><00:29:10.400><c> will,</c>

00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:12.380
and<00:29:11.019><c> we</c><00:29:11.220><c> have</c><00:29:11.279><c> allowed</c><00:29:11.420><c> the</c><00:29:11.660><c> will</c><00:29:11.799><c> of</c><00:29:12.079><c> God</c>

00:29:12.380 --> 00:29:15.519

00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:17.680
That's<00:29:16.200><c> in</c><00:29:16.460><c> spirit.</c>

00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:20.519
And<00:29:19.059><c> in</c><00:29:19.460><c> faith.</c>

00:29:21.900 --> 00:29:24.579

00:29:28.299 --> 00:29:30.559
That<00:29:28.380><c> our</c><00:29:28.720><c> faith</c><00:29:29.079><c> will</c><00:29:29.460><c> never</c><00:29:29.740><c> be</c><00:29:30.019><c> moved</c>

00:29:33.980 --> 00:29:35.660
And<00:29:34.259><c> we've</c><00:29:34.579><c> built</c><00:29:34.859><c> upon</c><00:29:35.259><c> that</c>

00:29:35.660 --> 00:29:37.960
so<00:29:35.980><c> we</c><00:29:36.180><c> go</c><00:29:36.460><c> through</c><00:29:36.839><c> life</c><00:29:37.380><c>-fading</c>

00:29:44.079 --> 00:29:46.859

00:30:54.180 --> 00:30:57.579
You<00:30:54.299><c> know,</c><00:30:54.359><c> it's</c><00:30:54.440><c> so</c><00:30:54.700><c> easy</c><00:30:55.359><c> to</c><00:30:55.920><c> read</c><00:30:56.180><c> these</c><00:30:56.559><c> things,</c><00:30:57.059><c> isn't</c><00:30:57.059><c> it?</c>

And<00:30:58.079><c> it</c><00:30:58.099><c> seems</c><00:30:58.299><c> so</c><00:30:58.619><c> difficult</c>

00:31:02.900 --> 00:31:04.579
Well,<00:31:03.180><c> start</c><00:31:03.440><c> now.</c>

00:31:05.660 --> 00:31:07.799
It<00:31:05.759><c> would</c><00:31:05.819><c> be</c><00:31:05.900><c> much</c><00:31:06.140><c> easier</c><00:31:06.500><c> today</c><00:31:06.920><c> and</c><00:31:07.200><c> tomorrow,</c>

00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:10.000

00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:14.799
and<00:31:11.900><c> go</c><00:31:12.140><c> back</c><00:31:12.640><c> to</c><00:31:12.960><c> wherever</c><00:31:13.240><c> we</c><00:31:13.480><c> came</c><00:31:13.759><c> from.</c>

00:31:15.740 --> 00:31:17.240
But<00:31:15.839><c> maybe</c><00:31:16.119><c> if</c><00:31:16.400><c> we,</c>

00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:18.859
we<00:31:17.500><c> just</c><00:31:17.700><c> took</c><00:31:17.920><c> a</c><00:31:18.160><c> step</c><00:31:18.380><c> or</c><00:31:18.619><c> two</c>

the<00:31:21.599><c> next</c><00:31:21.859><c> few</c><00:31:22.079><c> steps</c><00:31:22.380><c> after</c><00:31:22.740><c> that</c>

00:31:23.759 --> 00:31:25.720
might<00:31:24.740><c> be</c><00:31:25.079><c> strengthened</c>

15,<00:31:31.160><c> verse</c><00:31:31.440><c> 15.</c>

00:31:35.900 --> 00:31:38.700
This<00:31:36.740><c> advice</c><00:31:37.220><c> keeps</c><00:31:37.579><c> coming</c>

00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:42.279
for<00:31:40.680><c> the</c><00:31:40.880><c> personal</c><00:31:41.359><c> needs.</c>

00:31:42.619 --> 00:31:46.559
It<00:31:42.839><c> says</c><00:31:43.079><c> meditate</c><00:31:44.019><c> upon</c><00:31:45.059><c> these</c><00:31:45.380><c> things.</c>

00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:50.819
When's<00:31:49.000><c> the</c><00:31:49.039><c> last</c><00:31:49.319><c> time</c><00:31:49.559><c> you</c><00:31:49.839><c> meditated?</c>

00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:55.380
I<00:31:53.680><c> love</c><00:31:53.980><c> to</c><00:31:54.299><c> meditate.</c>

00:31:56.579 --> 00:31:58.279
But<00:31:56.839><c> half</c><00:31:57.140><c> the</c><00:31:57.359><c> time,</c>

00:32:00.220 --> 00:32:01.559

00:32:03.180 --> 00:32:05.039
doing<00:32:03.859><c> nothing,</c>

00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:07.480
I'm<00:32:06.039><c> thinking</c><00:32:06.380><c> nothing.</c>

00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:10.640
That's<00:32:09.339><c> not</c><00:32:09.480><c> meditation.</c>

00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:13.619
That's<00:32:12.559><c> idleness.</c>

00:32:16.920 --> 00:32:18.119
Dorothy<00:32:17.119><c> always</c><00:32:17.539><c> tells</c><00:32:17.859><c> me,</c>

00:32:18.180 --> 00:32:20.279
she<00:32:18.359><c> can't</c><00:32:18.960><c> understand</c><00:32:19.440><c> why</c><00:32:19.660><c> I</c><00:32:19.779><c> can</c><00:32:19.940><c> sit</c>

00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:22.680

00:32:25.519 --> 00:32:27.400
It's<00:32:25.700><c> better</c><00:32:25.880><c> than</c><00:32:26.099><c> work.</c>

00:32:28.799 --> 00:32:30.660
But<00:32:29.480><c> meditation</c>

00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:34.720
is<00:32:32.240><c> when</c><00:32:32.420><c> you</c><00:32:32.660><c> sit</c><00:32:33.039><c> and</c><00:32:33.359><c> watch</c><00:32:33.660><c> a</c><00:32:33.880><c> rose</c><00:32:34.160><c> grow</c>

00:32:34.720 --> 00:32:37.960

00:32:39.700 --> 00:32:41.940
Or<00:32:39.859><c> what</c><00:32:40.039><c> I've</c><00:32:41.039><c> done,</c>

00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:43.599
what<00:32:42.359><c> I'm</c><00:32:42.640><c> doing,</c>

00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:45.920

00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:50.619

00:32:50.960 --> 00:32:51.660
Brothers<00:32:51.039><c> and</c><00:32:51.259><c> sisters,</c>

00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:53.240
he<00:32:52.339><c> tells</c><00:32:52.599><c> Timothy,</c>

00:32:53.240 --> 00:32:56.099

00:32:56.619 --> 00:32:58.660
Give<00:32:56.720><c> thyself</c><00:32:57.559><c> wholly,</c>

00:32:59.440 --> 00:33:01.539
entirely,<00:33:00.220><c> completely</c><00:33:00.619><c> to</c><00:33:00.920><c> them,</c>

that<00:33:02.180><c> thy</c><00:33:02.619><c> profiting</c>

00:33:03.299 --> 00:33:04.859
may<00:33:03.880><c> appear</c><00:33:04.259><c> to</c><00:33:04.579><c> all.</c>

00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:07.059
It<00:33:05.140><c> doesn't</c><00:33:05.420><c> mean</c><00:33:05.720><c> you're</c><00:33:06.259><c> able</c><00:33:06.480><c> to</c><00:33:06.619><c> go</c><00:33:06.740><c> around</c><00:33:06.940><c> saying,</c>

00:33:09.900 --> 00:33:11.380
And<00:33:10.000><c> you</c><00:33:10.220><c> hold</c><00:33:10.599><c> yourself</c><00:33:11.039><c> up</c>

00:39:17.659 --> 00:39:20.079
Get<00:39:17.900><c> tired</c><00:39:18.320><c> of</c><00:39:18.599><c> lectures</c><00:39:18.980><c> because</c><00:39:19.519><c> the</c><00:39:19.880><c> same</c>

00:39:20.079 --> 00:39:22.599
I'll<00:39:20.900><c> tell</c><00:39:21.039><c> you</c><00:39:21.139><c> when</c><00:39:21.260><c> you</c><00:39:21.440><c> get</c><00:39:21.599><c> scared</c><00:39:22.000><c> of</c><00:39:22.260><c> lectures</c>

00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:26.900
is<00:39:22.960><c> when</c><00:39:23.079><c> you</c><00:39:23.320><c> start</c><00:39:23.559><c> hearing</c><00:39:23.880><c> some</c><00:39:24.199><c> new</c><00:39:24.539><c> doctrine,</c><00:39:25.440><c> some</c><00:39:25.559><c> new</c><00:39:25.960><c> thing.</c>

00:39:27.099 --> 00:39:29.239
That's<00:39:27.639><c> when</c><00:39:27.780><c> you</c><00:39:27.980><c> get</c><00:39:28.179><c> frightened</c>

00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:32.579
because<00:39:29.780><c> there</c><00:39:29.980><c> should</c><00:39:30.139><c> be</c><00:39:30.400><c> no</c><00:39:30.679><c> new</c><00:39:31.000><c> things</c><00:39:31.340><c> coming</c><00:39:31.599><c> off</c><00:39:31.860><c> our</c><00:39:32.159><c> platform.</c>

00:39:32.780 --> 00:39:35.860
We<00:39:33.119><c> should</c><00:39:33.280><c> be</c><00:39:33.500><c> getting</c><00:39:33.780><c> that</c><00:39:34.440><c> solid</c><00:39:35.059><c> fundamental</c>

00:39:36.019 --> 00:39:39.000
word<00:39:36.619><c> that</c><00:39:36.820><c> will</c><00:39:37.079><c> give</c><00:39:37.159><c> us</c><00:39:37.420><c> a</c><00:39:37.579><c> foundation</c><00:39:38.059><c> for</c><00:39:38.380><c> eternal</c><00:39:38.679><c> life.</c>

00:39:39.179 --> 00:39:42.119
We<00:39:39.500><c> are</c><00:39:39.820><c> looking</c><00:39:40.119><c> for</c><00:39:40.760><c> people</c><00:39:41.119><c> to</c><00:39:41.460><c> join</c><00:39:41.699><c> us</c>

00:39:42.119 --> 00:39:45.159
on<00:39:42.340><c> the</c><00:39:42.579><c> basis</c><00:39:42.920><c> that</c><00:39:43.199><c> we</c><00:39:43.460><c> know</c><00:39:43.679><c> is</c><00:39:44.039><c> truth.</c>

00:39:46.579 --> 00:39:48.239
Don't<00:39:47.139><c> allow</c><00:39:47.519><c> that</c><00:39:47.940><c> doctrine</c>

00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:50.800
to<00:39:48.440><c> be</c><00:39:48.679><c> changed</c><00:39:49.019><c> in</c><00:39:49.280><c> any</c><00:39:49.500><c> way.</c>

00:39:52.659 --> 00:39:54.300
Unfortunately,<00:39:53.420><c> that</c><00:39:53.599><c> brother</c><00:39:53.840><c> and</c><00:39:54.059><c> sister</c>

00:39:54.300 --> 00:39:58.360
didn't<00:39:54.579><c> support,</c><00:39:56.820><c> therefore,</c><00:39:57.179><c> the</c><00:39:57.420><c> lectures.</c>

00:40:00.739 --> 00:40:03.719
And<00:40:00.980><c> I</c><00:40:01.159><c> confess,</c><00:40:01.780><c> we</c><00:40:02.000><c> don't</c><00:40:02.260><c> have</c><00:40:02.519><c> lectures</c><00:40:02.940><c> now.</c>

00:40:06.159 --> 00:40:08.679
But<00:40:06.340><c> it's</c><00:40:06.519><c> not</c><00:40:06.800><c> because,</c><00:40:08.059><c> really,</c>

00:40:08.679 --> 00:40:11.900
it<00:40:09.780><c> was</c><00:40:10.019><c> the</c><00:40:10.300><c> same</c><00:40:10.519><c> old</c><00:40:10.820><c> thing.</c>

00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:14.760
We<00:40:12.880><c> were</c><00:40:13.099><c> always</c><00:40:13.400><c> getting</c><00:40:13.679><c> visitors</c><00:40:14.079><c> to</c><00:40:14.320><c> our</c><00:40:14.500><c> lecture</c>

00:40:14.760 --> 00:40:17.199
until<00:40:15.079><c> two</c><00:40:15.320><c> or</c><00:40:15.440><c> three</c><00:40:15.699><c> years</c><00:40:15.960><c> ago,</c><00:40:16.380><c> and</c><00:40:16.500><c> then</c><00:40:16.599><c> they</c><00:40:16.880><c> stopped.</c>

00:40:17.219 --> 00:40:19.139
They<00:40:17.440><c> just</c><00:40:17.900><c> stopped</c><00:40:18.239><c> coming.</c>

00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:22.280
Lots<00:40:20.199><c> of</c><00:40:20.440><c> money</c><00:40:20.699><c> spent</c><00:40:21.039><c> for</c><00:40:21.460><c> advertising,</c><00:40:21.800><c> they</c><00:40:22.019><c> just</c>

00:40:22.280 --> 00:40:23.679
stopped<00:40:22.599><c> coming.</c>

00:40:25.719 --> 00:40:26.900
And<00:40:25.860><c> so</c><00:40:25.940><c> we</c><00:40:26.139><c> changed</c><00:40:26.500><c> over</c>

00:40:26.900 --> 00:40:29.320
to<00:40:27.119><c> this</c><00:40:27.360><c> wonderful</c><00:40:28.019><c> concept</c>

00:40:33.059 --> 00:40:33.619
of...

00:40:33.619 --> 00:40:35.300
What<00:40:33.960><c> do</c><00:40:34.039><c> you</c><00:40:34.139><c> call</c><00:40:34.420><c> them?</c>

00:40:38.719 --> 00:40:40.519
Learn<00:40:39.280><c> to</c><00:40:39.460><c> read</c><00:40:39.639><c> the</c><00:40:39.840><c> Bible</c><00:40:40.099><c> effectively.</c>

00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:43.719
What<00:40:40.679><c> do</c><00:40:40.820><c> we</c><00:40:40.940><c> call</c><00:40:41.139><c> that?</c><00:40:42.659><c> Seminars.</c>

00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:45.980
See<00:40:44.239><c> how</c><00:40:44.559><c> wonderful</c><00:40:45.039><c> it</c><00:40:45.239><c> is</c><00:40:45.360><c> to</c><00:40:45.579><c> have</c><00:40:45.760><c> help.</c>

00:40:46.019 --> 00:40:47.800
That's<00:40:46.320><c> what</c><00:40:46.400><c> you're</c><00:40:46.639><c> here</c><00:40:46.840><c> for,</c><00:40:47.059><c> to</c><00:40:47.239><c> help</c><00:40:47.519><c> me.</c>

00:40:48.159 --> 00:40:49.980
We<00:40:48.440><c> have</c><00:40:48.780><c> seminars</c><00:40:49.400><c> now.</c>

00:40:50.320 --> 00:40:53.280
And<00:40:50.519><c> you</c><00:40:50.659><c> know</c><00:40:50.760><c> what</c><00:40:50.940><c> we</c><00:40:51.300><c> teach</c><00:40:51.980><c> people</c><00:40:52.340><c> in</c><00:40:52.599><c> those</c><00:40:52.820><c> seminars?</c>

00:40:53.699 --> 00:40:57.539
The<00:40:54.059><c> very</c><00:40:54.739><c> fundamental,</c><00:40:55.539><c> simple</c><00:40:56.139><c> things</c><00:40:56.480><c> that</c><00:40:56.659><c> we've</c><00:40:56.940><c> ever</c><00:40:57.300><c> known.</c>

00:40:57.880 --> 00:40:59.900
Read<00:40:58.320><c> the</c><00:40:58.599><c> Bible,</c><00:40:59.000><c> let</c><00:40:59.280><c> it</c><00:40:59.519><c> tell</c><00:40:59.739><c> you.</c>

00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:02.219
And<00:41:00.360><c> they're</c><00:41:00.780><c> thrilled</c><00:41:01.280><c> with</c><00:41:01.539><c> it.</c>

00:41:02.340 --> 00:41:04.340
Do<00:41:02.900><c> we</c><00:41:03.059><c> get</c><00:41:03.219><c> hundreds</c><00:41:03.639><c> of</c><00:41:03.940><c> baptisms?</c>

00:41:04.460 --> 00:41:06.639
No,<00:41:04.980><c> we</c><00:41:05.179><c> never</c><00:41:05.559><c> will,</c><00:41:06.000><c> because</c>

00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:10.219
the<00:41:07.500><c> world</c><00:41:07.860><c> is</c><00:41:08.139><c> not</c><00:41:08.340><c> interested</c><00:41:09.000><c> in</c>

00:41:10.219 --> 00:41:12.019
things<00:41:10.980><c> that</c><00:41:11.199><c> are</c><00:41:11.460><c> spiritual.</c>

00:41:12.500 --> 00:41:15.940
But<00:41:12.679><c> they're</c><00:41:13.019><c> coming,</c><00:41:13.340><c> there's</c><00:41:13.639><c> people</c><00:41:14.039><c> there</c><00:41:14.360><c> who</c><00:41:14.619><c> want</c><00:41:14.820><c> to</c><00:41:15.059><c> hear.</c>

00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:18.960
And<00:41:16.659><c> you</c><00:41:16.760><c> just</c><00:41:17.099><c> lay</c><00:41:17.239><c> it</c><00:41:17.420><c> out</c><00:41:17.599><c> for</c><00:41:17.820><c> them,</c><00:41:18.119><c> and</c><00:41:18.280><c> you</c><00:41:18.480><c> speak</c><00:41:18.659><c> the</c>

00:41:18.960 --> 00:41:20.260
same<00:41:19.239><c> things.</c>

00:41:21.559 --> 00:41:23.239
And<00:41:21.699><c> we</c><00:41:21.820><c> don't</c><00:41:21.940><c> get</c><00:41:22.159><c> many,</c>

00:41:23.739 --> 00:41:26.300
but<00:41:23.960><c> the</c><00:41:24.239><c> baptisms</c><00:41:24.800><c> are</c><00:41:25.380><c> coming.</c>

00:41:26.920 --> 00:41:29.000
Two<00:41:27.099><c> people</c><00:41:27.519><c> right</c><00:41:27.880><c> now</c>

00:41:29.000 --> 00:41:32.219

00:41:32.460 --> 00:41:34.739
Three<00:41:32.679><c> have</c><00:41:32.880><c> already</c><00:41:33.239><c> been</c><00:41:33.500><c> baptized.</c>

00:41:35.139 --> 00:41:36.739
It's<00:41:35.460><c> happening,</c><00:41:36.039><c> brothers</c><00:41:36.119><c> and</c><00:41:36.400><c> sisters.</c>

00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:39.860
When<00:41:37.260><c> the</c><00:41:37.480><c> last</c><00:41:37.739><c> one</c><00:41:37.920><c> will</c><00:41:38.159><c> be,</c><00:41:38.340><c> we</c><00:41:38.659><c> know</c><00:41:38.960><c> not.</c>

00:41:40.059 --> 00:41:42.559
But<00:41:40.280><c> we're</c><00:41:40.559><c> going</c><00:41:40.699><c> to</c><00:41:40.940><c> persist,</c><00:41:41.460><c> aren't</c><00:41:41.659><c> we?</c>

00:41:42.739 --> 00:41:46.340
As<00:41:43.059><c> our</c><00:41:43.440><c> Ecclesia,</c><00:41:43.960><c> to</c><00:41:44.039><c> be</c><00:41:44.219><c> a</c><00:41:44.460><c> light</c><00:41:44.719><c> stand</c><00:41:44.940><c> for</c><00:41:45.179><c> the</c><00:41:45.420><c> truth.</c>

00:41:46.460 --> 00:41:48.840
You've<00:41:46.659><c> got</c><00:41:46.840><c> five</c><00:41:47.300><c> nights</c><00:41:47.579><c> in</c><00:41:47.800><c> the</c><00:41:47.940><c> week.</c>

00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:50.760
It<00:41:48.960><c> only</c><00:41:49.219><c> takes</c><00:41:49.519><c> how</c><00:41:49.699><c> many</c><00:41:49.920><c> brethren</c><00:41:50.260><c> to...</c>

00:41:50.760 --> 00:41:54.239
How<00:41:51.019><c> many</c><00:41:51.280><c> brethren</c><00:41:51.539><c> does</c><00:41:51.780><c> it</c><00:41:51.900><c> take</c><00:41:52.139><c> to</c><00:41:52.320><c> run</c><00:41:52.460><c> a</c><00:41:53.260><c> seminar?</c>

00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:56.900
Oh,<00:41:55.780><c> you</c><00:41:55.780><c> can</c><00:41:56.079><c> count.</c>

00:41:57.420 --> 00:42:00.440
