00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:30.640
They're<00:22:28.799><c> integral.</c><00:22:29.440><c> They're</c><00:22:29.720><c> important.</c>

00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:32.920
There's<00:22:31.279><c> a</c><00:22:31.460><c> need</c><00:22:31.660><c> for</c><00:22:31.859><c> them</c><00:22:32.019><c> to</c><00:22:32.240><c> be</c><00:22:32.480><c> together.</c>

00:22:32.920 --> 00:22:36.880
And<00:22:33.680><c> similarly,</c><00:22:35.039><c> the</c><00:22:35.220><c> head</c><00:22:35.519><c> can't</c><00:22:36.019><c> say</c><00:22:36.240><c> to</c><00:22:36.500><c> the</c><00:22:36.720><c> feet,</c>

00:22:37.099 --> 00:22:38.759
I<00:22:37.099><c> have</c><00:22:37.359><c> no</c><00:22:37.640><c> need</c><00:22:37.779><c> of</c><00:22:38.059><c> you.</c>

00:22:38.779 --> 00:22:40.019
We<00:22:39.019><c> think</c><00:22:39.299><c> about</c><00:22:39.559><c> this.</c>

00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:42.880
So<00:22:40.579><c> they're</c><00:22:41.220><c> very</c><00:22:41.640><c> dissimilar</c><00:22:42.299><c> functions,</c>

00:22:43.119 --> 00:22:44.500
what's<00:22:43.380><c> being</c><00:22:43.640><c> described</c><00:22:44.200><c> here,</c>

00:22:44.579 --> 00:22:47.319
the<00:22:44.819><c> eye</c><00:22:45.119><c> and</c><00:22:45.220><c> the</c><00:22:45.460><c> hand</c><00:22:45.720><c> and</c><00:22:45.880><c> the</c><00:22:46.019><c> head</c><00:22:46.180><c> and</c><00:22:46.359><c> the</c><00:22:46.539><c> feet.</c>

00:22:47.740 --> 00:22:51.740
And<00:22:48.039><c> yet</c><00:22:48.319><c> there</c><00:22:48.740><c> is</c><00:22:49.019><c> no</c><00:22:49.440><c> room</c><00:22:49.799><c> for</c><00:22:50.160><c> one</c><00:22:50.440><c> to</c><00:22:50.680><c> be</c><00:22:50.920><c> elevated</c><00:22:51.359><c> above</c>

00:22:51.740 --> 00:22:52.279
the<00:22:51.980><c> other.</c>

00:22:52.740 --> 00:22:57.380
They<00:22:53.039><c> both</c><00:22:53.319><c> are</c><00:22:53.960><c> integrated</c><00:22:54.539><c> parts</c><00:22:55.180><c> of</c><00:22:55.500><c> the</c><00:22:55.819><c> whole</c><00:22:56.460><c> body.</c>

00:22:57.420 --> 00:23:02.500
And<00:22:57.799><c> so</c><00:22:58.660><c> when</c><00:22:59.000><c> we</c><00:22:59.140><c> look</c><00:22:59.259><c> at</c><00:22:59.420><c> this</c><00:22:59.940><c> passage</c><00:23:00.519><c> from</c><00:23:01.440><c> The</c><00:23:01.779><c> Way</c><00:23:01.920><c> of</c><00:23:02.140><c> Life,</c>

00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:05.640
it<00:23:03.079><c> says,</c><00:23:04.319><c> this</c><00:23:04.339><c> is</c><00:23:04.559><c> the</c><00:23:04.759><c> challenge</c><00:23:05.079><c> we</c><00:23:05.359><c> face.</c>

00:23:06.140 --> 00:23:08.119
We<00:23:06.359><c> are</c><00:23:06.700><c> drawn</c><00:23:06.980><c> from</c><00:23:07.279><c> different</c><00:23:07.599><c> cultures</c>

00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:10.240
and<00:23:08.500><c> socioeconomic</c><00:23:09.319><c> groups.</c>

00:23:10.259 --> 00:23:13.440
We<00:23:10.440><c> possess</c><00:23:10.819><c> diverse</c><00:23:11.279><c> temperaments</c><00:23:11.960><c> and</c><00:23:12.500><c> natural</c><00:23:12.920><c> interests.</c>

00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:15.160
We<00:23:13.980><c> have</c><00:23:14.180><c> differing</c><00:23:14.599><c> abilities.</c>

00:23:15.619 --> 00:23:18.500
Yet<00:23:15.859><c> God</c><00:23:16.259><c> has</c><00:23:16.640><c> called</c><00:23:16.839><c> us</c><00:23:17.099><c> to</c><00:23:17.339><c> function</c><00:23:17.759><c> together</c>

00:23:18.500 --> 00:23:20.440
as<00:23:19.000><c> an</c><00:23:19.160><c> ecclesial</c><00:23:19.559><c> body.</c>

00:23:20.460 --> 00:23:24.000
There<00:23:20.640><c> has</c><00:23:20.980><c> to</c><00:23:21.220><c> be</c><00:23:21.720><c> a</c><00:23:22.119><c> conscious</c><00:23:22.680><c> effort</c><00:23:23.220><c> to</c><00:23:23.559><c> rise</c>

00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:25.759
above<00:23:24.279><c> our</c><00:23:24.619><c> natural</c><00:23:25.019><c> inclinations</c>

00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:27.480
and<00:23:26.319><c> develop</c><00:23:26.619><c> a</c><00:23:26.859><c> different</c><00:23:27.059><c> spirit.</c>

00:23:27.980 --> 00:23:31.859
Love,<00:23:28.859><c> joy,</c><00:23:29.500><c> peace,</c><00:23:30.500><c> long</c><00:23:30.740><c>-suffering</c><00:23:31.160><c> gentleness,</c>

00:23:31.859 --> 00:23:36.480
goodness,<00:23:32.880><c> faith,</c><00:23:33.900><c> meekness,</c><00:23:34.779><c> and</c><00:23:35.039><c> self</c><00:23:35.400><c>-control.</c>

00:23:36.740 --> 00:23:40.240
And<00:23:37.079><c> so</c><00:23:37.440><c> our</c><00:23:37.819><c> relationship</c><00:23:38.400><c> to</c><00:23:38.660><c> one</c><00:23:38.819><c> another</c><00:23:39.220><c> is</c><00:23:39.799><c> integrated.</c>

00:23:40.539 --> 00:23:43.480
We<00:23:40.759><c> are</c><00:23:41.180><c> one</c><00:23:41.779><c> body,</c><00:23:42.519><c> one</c><00:23:43.019><c> house,</c>

00:23:43.799 --> 00:23:47.859
very<00:23:44.240><c> different</c><00:23:44.779><c> in</c><00:23:45.380><c> so</c><00:23:45.559><c> many</c><00:23:45.799><c> ways</c><00:23:46.380><c> and</c><00:23:46.779><c> capacities.</c>

00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:50.599
And<00:23:48.339><c> yet</c><00:23:48.599><c> that's</c><00:23:49.099><c> how</c><00:23:49.299><c> God</c><00:23:49.539><c> has</c><00:23:49.779><c> brought</c><00:23:49.960><c> us</c><00:23:50.200><c> together.</c>

00:23:51.059 --> 00:23:53.880
And<00:23:51.319><c> that's</c><00:23:51.519><c> how</c><00:23:51.619><c> he</c><00:23:51.680><c> wants</c><00:23:51.940><c> us</c><00:23:52.140><c> to</c><00:23:52.400><c> operate</c><00:23:52.779><c> as</c><00:23:53.140><c> one.</c>

00:23:54.220 --> 00:23:57.519
So<00:23:54.779><c> let's</c><00:23:55.700><c> move</c><00:23:55.900><c> into</c><00:23:56.099><c> Section</c><00:23:56.420><c> C</c><00:23:56.619><c> then,</c>

00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:01.220
God's<00:23:58.359><c> ideal</c><00:23:58.720><c> for</c><00:23:59.180><c> family</c><00:23:59.660><c> and</c><00:23:59.900><c> ecclesial</c><00:24:00.279><c> life.</c>

00:24:02.099 --> 00:24:03.819
And<00:24:02.440><c> so</c><00:24:02.759><c> we</c><00:24:03.039><c> have</c><00:24:03.259><c> the</c><00:24:03.440><c> question,</c>

00:24:04.240 --> 00:24:06.079
using<00:24:04.599><c> the</c><00:24:04.900><c> example</c><00:24:05.160><c> of</c><00:24:05.339><c> a</c><00:24:05.420><c> husband</c><00:24:05.660><c> and</c><00:24:05.859><c> wife,</c>

00:24:06.180 --> 00:24:08.180
what<00:24:06.299><c> is</c><00:24:06.539><c> the</c><00:24:06.799><c> intended</c><00:24:07.140><c> ideal</c><00:24:07.539><c> in</c><00:24:07.779><c> the</c><00:24:07.960><c> home</c>

00:24:08.180 --> 00:24:10.900
for<00:24:08.460><c> a</c><00:24:08.660><c> husband</c><00:24:09.019><c> and</c><00:24:09.480><c> wife</c><00:24:09.740><c> as</c><00:24:10.039><c> ordained</c><00:24:10.319><c> by</c><00:24:10.619><c> God?</c>

00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:13.599
And<00:24:11.480><c> this</c><00:24:11.700><c> is</c><00:24:11.900><c> his</c><00:24:12.240><c> intended</c><00:24:12.680><c> ideal.</c>

00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:16.299
We<00:24:14.779><c> know</c><00:24:14.900><c> it</c><00:24:15.039><c> doesn't</c><00:24:15.200><c> always</c><00:24:15.480><c> work</c><00:24:15.720><c> this</c><00:24:15.980><c> way,</c>

00:24:16.460 --> 00:24:18.720
but<00:24:16.660><c> let's</c><00:24:16.880><c> see</c><00:24:17.059><c> what</c><00:24:17.299><c> scriptures</c><00:24:17.640><c> have</c><00:24:17.900><c> to</c><00:24:18.059><c> say</c><00:24:18.220><c> about</c><00:24:18.480><c> this</c>

00:24:18.720 --> 00:24:22.619
and<00:24:18.900><c> use</c><00:24:19.119><c> this</c><00:24:20.000><c> in</c><00:24:20.259><c> developing</c><00:24:20.599><c> a</c><00:24:20.920><c> spiritual</c><00:24:21.339><c> principle</c><00:24:21.819><c> for</c><00:24:22.160><c> us</c>

00:24:22.619 --> 00:24:23.619
as<00:24:22.940><c> an</c><00:24:23.099><c> ecclesia.</c>

00:24:23.619 --> 00:24:28.339
And<00:24:24.279><c> so</c><00:24:24.460><c> if</c><00:24:24.599><c> you</c><00:24:24.700><c> come</c><00:24:24.859><c> back</c><00:24:25.099><c> with</c><00:24:25.279><c> me</c><00:24:25.380><c> to</c><00:24:25.500><c> Matthew</c><00:24:25.900><c> chapter</c><00:24:26.299><c> 19,</c>

verse<00:24:29.819><c> 4,</c><00:24:33.519><c> Jesus</c><00:24:33.880><c> says,</c>

00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:43.220
For<00:24:40.900><c> this</c><00:24:41.200><c> cause</c><00:24:41.539><c> shall</c><00:24:41.799><c> a</c><00:24:42.000><c> man</c><00:24:42.220><c> leave</c><00:24:42.460><c> father</c><00:24:42.819><c> and</c><00:24:42.980><c> mother</c>

00:24:43.220 --> 00:24:44.779
and<00:24:43.380><c> shall</c><00:24:43.640><c> cleave</c><00:24:43.940><c> to</c><00:24:44.119><c> his</c><00:24:44.319><c> wife,</c>

00:24:45.140 --> 00:24:47.779
and<00:24:45.380><c> they</c><00:24:45.640><c> twain</c><00:24:45.920><c> shall</c><00:24:46.099><c> be</c><00:24:46.299><c> one</c><00:24:46.579><c> flesh?</c>

00:24:48.180 --> 00:24:52.140
Wherefore<00:24:48.720><c> they</c><00:24:49.259><c> are</c><00:24:49.740><c> no</c><00:24:50.039><c> more</c><00:24:50.339><c> twain,</c><00:24:51.119><c> but</c><00:24:51.400><c> one</c><00:24:51.740><c> flesh?</c>

00:24:52.140 --> 00:24:55.720
What<00:24:53.079><c> therefore</c><00:24:53.660><c> God</c><00:24:54.039><c> hath</c><00:24:54.259><c> joined</c><00:24:54.579><c> together,</c>

00:24:55.779 --> 00:24:57.599
let<00:24:55.940><c> not</c><00:24:56.259><c> man</c><00:24:56.700><c> put</c><00:24:57.119><c> asunder.</c>

00:24:58.099 --> 00:25:01.500
And<00:24:58.480><c> so</c><00:24:58.900><c> what</c><00:24:59.339><c> is</c><00:24:59.680><c> God's</c><00:25:00.480><c> intended</c><00:25:00.880><c> ideal</c>

00:25:01.500 --> 00:25:03.500

00:25:04.220 --> 00:25:05.200
What<00:25:04.440><c> is</c><00:25:04.660><c> it?</c>

00:25:05.579 --> 00:25:07.839

And<00:29:07.660><c> so</c><00:29:08.079><c> we</c><00:29:08.660><c> think</c><00:29:08.900><c> about</c><00:29:09.140><c> that</c><00:29:09.420><c> list,</c>

And<00:30:32.180><c> this</c><00:30:32.400><c> sister,</c><00:30:33.880><c> Sheila</c><00:30:34.000><c> Wilson,</c><00:30:35.059><c> she</c><00:30:35.900><c> touched</c><00:30:36.359><c> on</c><00:30:36.559><c> this,</c>

00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:37.160
I<00:30:36.920><c> think,</c>

00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:38.740
in<00:30:37.319><c> her</c><00:30:37.539><c> book,</c><00:30:37.759><c> The</c><00:30:37.900><c> Gospel</c><00:30:38.279><c> and</c><00:30:38.440><c> the</c><00:30:38.599><c> Home.</c>

00:30:38.779 --> 00:30:41.299
She<00:30:39.000><c> says,</c><00:30:39.339><c> after</c><00:30:39.579><c> reading</c><00:30:39.960><c> that</c><00:30:40.319><c> list</c><00:30:40.619><c> with</c><00:30:40.859><c> care,</c>

00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:46.480
we<00:30:42.180><c> realize</c><00:30:42.859><c> that</c><00:30:43.099><c> this</c><00:30:43.380><c> kind</c><00:30:43.640><c> of</c><00:30:43.859><c> love</c><00:30:44.000><c> is</c><00:30:44.319><c> not</c><00:30:44.740><c> natural</c><00:30:45.160><c> to</c><00:30:45.500><c> us.</c>

00:30:46.700 --> 00:30:48.640
It<00:30:47.299><c> has</c><00:30:47.519><c> to</c><00:30:47.700><c> be</c><00:30:47.839><c> learned.</c>

00:30:48.920 --> 00:30:52.819
And<00:30:49.059><c> the</c><00:30:49.259><c> best</c><00:30:49.640><c> place</c><00:30:50.019><c> in</c><00:30:50.180><c> which</c><00:30:50.380><c> we</c><00:30:50.660><c> learn</c><00:30:50.980><c> such</c><00:30:51.680><c> a</c><00:30:52.440><c> lesson</c>

00:30:52.819 --> 00:30:55.160
is<00:30:53.019><c> essentially</c><00:30:53.799><c> the</c><00:30:54.460><c> home.</c>

00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:58.680
Here<00:30:55.940><c> is</c><00:30:56.319><c> a</c><00:30:56.519><c> daily</c><00:30:56.759><c> challenge</c><00:30:57.180><c> to</c><00:30:57.400><c> our</c><00:30:57.619><c> selfish</c><00:30:57.960><c> nature</c>

00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:01.559
And<00:31:00.960><c> it's</c><00:31:01.099><c> so</c><00:31:01.380><c> true.</c>

00:31:01.660 --> 00:31:04.779
We<00:31:01.880><c> look</c><00:31:02.059><c> at</c><00:31:02.259><c> the</c><00:31:02.500><c> list</c><00:31:02.779><c> of</c><00:31:03.019><c> words</c><00:31:03.200><c> that</c><00:31:03.420><c> we</c><00:31:03.539><c> just</c><00:31:03.779><c> considered.</c>

00:31:04.980 --> 00:31:07.319
We<00:31:05.119><c> have</c><00:31:05.460><c> ample</c><00:31:05.900><c> opportunity,</c><00:31:06.680><c> don't</c><00:31:06.859><c> we,</c>

00:31:07.539 --> 00:31:10.559

00:31:11.059 --> 00:31:13.119
And<00:31:11.299><c> now</c><00:31:11.460><c> we</c><00:31:11.559><c> come</c><00:31:11.720><c> outside</c><00:31:12.099><c> of</c><00:31:12.240><c> the</c><00:31:12.380><c> home</c><00:31:12.480><c> and</c><00:31:12.640><c> we</c><00:31:12.759><c> come</c><00:31:12.900><c> into</c>

the<00:31:13.279><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:16.319
And<00:31:14.819><c> the</c><00:31:14.920><c> shirts</c><00:31:15.180><c> and</c><00:31:15.440><c> ties</c><00:31:15.619><c> are</c><00:31:15.940><c> off.</c>

00:31:16.579 --> 00:31:19.720
And<00:31:17.019><c> we're</c><00:31:17.460><c> now</c><00:31:18.000><c> spending</c><00:31:18.319><c> more</c><00:31:18.779><c> time</c><00:31:19.160><c> together.</c>

00:31:19.720 --> 00:31:23.859
And<00:31:20.559><c> that's</c><00:31:21.259><c> when</c><00:31:21.759><c> the</c><00:31:22.059><c> burr</c><00:31:22.200><c> under</c><00:31:22.500><c> the</c><00:31:22.740><c> saddle</c><00:31:23.059><c> might</c><00:31:23.500><c> start</c>

to<00:31:24.140><c> develop</c>

00:31:24.339 --> 00:31:26.720
and<00:31:24.519><c> we</c><00:31:24.720><c> start</c><00:31:24.900><c> to</c><00:31:25.140><c> get</c><00:31:25.279><c> a</c><00:31:25.359><c> little</c><00:31:25.559><c> irritated</c><00:31:26.079><c> at</c><00:31:26.380><c> something</c>

or<00:31:27.059><c> someone.</c>

00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:32.220
And<00:31:28.519><c> yet,</c><00:31:29.319><c> we</c><00:31:29.460><c> need</c><00:31:29.599><c> to</c><00:31:29.740><c> be</c><00:31:30.000><c> grounded</c><00:31:30.440><c> in</c><00:31:30.839><c> this</c><00:31:31.099><c> spiritual</c><00:31:31.660><c> principle</c>

00:31:32.220 --> 00:31:35.619
around<00:31:32.559><c> how</c><00:31:32.839><c> we</c><00:31:33.099><c> treat</c><00:31:33.240><c> each</c><00:31:33.519><c> other</c><00:31:34.000><c> with</c><00:31:34.299><c> love,</c><00:31:35.119><c> with</c><00:31:35.180><c> patience,</c>

00:31:35.720 --> 00:31:39.500
as<00:31:35.900><c> we</c><00:31:36.160><c> want</c><00:31:36.299><c> to</c><00:31:36.420><c> be</c><00:31:36.640><c> treated,</c><00:31:37.539><c> all</c><00:31:37.799><c> of</c><00:31:37.980><c> those</c><00:31:38.640><c> things</c><00:31:39.039><c> that</c>

00:31:39.500 --> 00:31:40.660
you<00:31:39.759><c> mentioned.</c>

00:31:42.600 --> 00:31:46.380
Okay,<00:31:43.200><c> but</c><00:31:43.799><c> there's</c><00:31:45.660><c> some</c><00:31:45.900><c> differences.</c>

00:31:46.380 --> 00:31:49.539
And<00:31:47.059><c> there's</c><00:31:47.460><c> differences</c><00:31:47.900><c> on</c><00:31:48.299><c> how</c><00:31:48.640><c> people</c><00:31:48.980><c> respond.</c>

00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:53.019
And<00:31:49.839><c> so</c><00:31:50.019><c> we</c><00:31:50.339><c> talk</c><00:31:50.599><c> about</c><00:31:51.140><c> different</c><00:31:51.900><c> temperaments.</c>

00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:56.240
And<00:31:53.819><c> so</c><00:31:53.960><c> the</c><00:31:54.099><c> question</c><00:31:54.440><c> we</c><00:31:54.680><c> have</c><00:31:54.839><c> here</c><00:31:55.160><c> is,</c>

00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:59.700
is<00:31:56.319><c> it</c><00:31:56.559><c> reasonable</c><00:31:57.200><c> to</c><00:31:57.779><c> expect</c><00:31:58.140><c> that</c><00:31:58.319><c> in</c><00:31:58.480><c> a</c><00:31:58.660><c> family,</c>

00:31:59.900 --> 00:32:02.339
all<00:32:00.160><c> children</c><00:32:00.500><c> will</c><00:32:00.700><c> be</c><00:32:00.900><c> treated</c><00:32:01.140><c> exactly</c><00:32:01.640><c> the</c><00:32:01.880><c> same</c><00:32:02.059><c> way</c>

00:32:02.339 --> 00:32:06.059
without<00:32:02.619><c> regard</c><00:32:03.059><c> to</c><00:32:03.259><c> their</c><00:32:03.460><c> individual</c><00:32:03.980><c> temperaments</c><00:32:04.539><c> and</c><00:32:05.079><c> personalities?</c>

00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:08.559
Well,<00:32:06.559><c> I</c><00:32:07.079><c> showed</c><00:32:07.319><c> you</c><00:32:07.539><c> we've</c><00:32:07.819><c> got</c><00:32:07.920><c> four</c><00:32:08.140><c> children.</c>

00:32:08.980 --> 00:32:11.819
I<00:32:09.099><c> can</c><00:32:09.299><c> tell</c><00:32:09.480><c> you</c><00:32:09.920><c> we</c><00:32:10.400><c> don't</c><00:32:10.660><c> treat</c><00:32:10.900><c> the</c><00:32:11.099><c> four</c><00:32:11.259><c> children</c><00:32:11.579><c> the</c>

00:32:11.819 --> 00:32:12.200
same<00:32:12.019><c> way.</c>

00:32:12.259 --> 00:32:15.339
We<00:32:12.460><c> certainly</c><00:32:13.000><c> have</c><00:32:13.519><c> certain</c><00:32:13.819><c> common</c><00:32:14.500><c> expectations</c>

00:32:15.339 --> 00:32:19.839
and<00:32:16.319><c> expectations</c><00:32:17.859><c> and</c><00:32:18.160><c> ideals</c><00:32:18.619><c> and</c><00:32:18.859><c> how</c><00:32:19.039><c> we</c><00:32:19.279><c> treat</c><00:32:19.460><c> them.</c>

00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:23.799
But<00:32:20.720><c> if</c><00:32:21.099><c> anyone</c><00:32:21.380><c> has</c><00:32:22.119><c> more</c><00:32:22.500><c> than</c><00:32:22.680><c> one</c><00:32:22.960><c> child</c><00:32:23.259><c> in</c><00:32:23.460><c> the</c><00:32:23.619><c> room,</c>

00:32:23.859 --> 00:32:27.940
you<00:32:23.940><c> know</c><00:32:24.200><c> that</c><00:32:24.920><c> you</c><00:32:25.180><c> cannot</c><00:32:25.740><c> do</c><00:32:26.220><c> the</c><00:32:26.480><c> same</c><00:32:26.740><c> thing</c><00:32:27.099><c> for</c><00:32:27.400><c> child</c><00:32:27.720><c> two</c>

00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:33.839
And<00:32:30.079><c> so,</c><00:32:31.660><c> Joel,</c><00:32:31.839><c> is</c><00:32:32.059><c> it?</c><00:32:32.920><c> With</c><00:32:33.119><c> Ella?</c>

00:32:34.299 --> 00:32:36.880
You're<00:32:34.539><c> lucky.</c><00:32:34.900><c> You've</c><00:32:35.079><c> got</c><00:32:35.220><c> one</c><00:32:35.559><c> three</c><00:32:35.819><c>-month</c><00:32:36.140><c>-old.</c>

00:32:39.660 --> 00:32:41.759
I'm<00:32:40.000><c> not</c><00:32:40.720><c> going</c><00:32:40.900><c> to...</c>

00:32:42.619 --> 00:32:44.640
Wasn't<00:32:43.339><c> going</c><00:32:43.500><c> to</c><00:32:43.599><c> go</c><00:32:43.759><c> there.</c>

00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:49.119
But<00:32:44.880><c> when</c><00:32:45.480><c> we</c><00:32:45.759><c> had</c><00:32:46.019><c> one,</c><00:32:46.740><c> it</c><00:32:46.740><c> was</c><00:32:47.640><c> all</c><00:32:47.960><c> Rebecca</c><00:32:48.240><c> all</c><00:32:48.519><c> the</c><00:32:48.720><c> time.</c>

00:32:49.299 --> 00:32:51.079
And<00:32:49.519><c> then</c><00:32:49.759><c> Josh</c><00:32:49.940><c> came</c><00:32:50.240><c> along.</c>

00:32:51.200 --> 00:32:55.680
And<00:32:51.880><c> I</c><00:32:53.339><c> don't</c><00:32:53.519><c> know</c><00:32:53.700><c> what</c><00:32:53.960><c> the</c><00:32:54.240><c> feeling</c><00:32:54.480><c> is</c><00:32:55.119><c> here</c>

And<00:33:05.880><c> it</c><00:33:06.000><c> didn't</c><00:33:06.299><c> work.</c>

00:33:08.620 --> 00:33:12.359
Josh<00:33:09.140><c> comes</c><00:33:09.420><c> along,</c><00:33:10.259><c> and</c><00:33:10.259><c> all</c><00:33:10.460><c> I</c><00:33:10.599><c> would</c><00:33:10.799><c> need</c><00:33:10.900><c> to</c><00:33:11.119><c> do</c><00:33:11.240><c> was</c><00:33:11.460><c> furrow</c><00:33:11.740><c> my</c><00:33:12.019><c> brow,</c>

00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:16.039
turn<00:33:12.680><c> down</c><00:33:12.859><c> the</c><00:33:13.039><c> corners</c><00:33:13.259><c> of</c><00:33:13.420><c> my</c><00:33:13.559><c> mouth,</c><00:33:14.000><c> and</c><00:33:14.339><c> he</c><00:33:14.579><c> was</c><00:33:14.960><c> a</c><00:33:15.220><c> puddle.</c>

00:33:16.720 --> 00:33:19.039
He<00:33:17.000><c> never</c><00:33:17.279><c> needed</c><00:33:17.539><c> to</c><00:33:17.779><c> be</c><00:33:18.019><c> spanked.</c>

00:33:19.160 --> 00:33:21.799
And<00:33:19.400><c> now</c><00:33:19.660><c> he's</c><00:33:20.359><c> much,</c><00:33:20.700><c> much</c><00:33:20.880><c> bigger</c><00:33:21.119><c> than</c><00:33:21.240><c> me,</c><00:33:21.440><c> and</c><00:33:21.539><c> I'm</c><00:33:21.640><c> glad</c>

00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:22.920
I<00:33:21.900><c> never</c><00:33:22.140><c> did.</c>

00:33:25.500 --> 00:33:27.700
But<00:33:26.019><c> it's</c><00:33:26.539><c> so</c><00:33:26.839><c> true,</c><00:33:27.099><c> right?</c>

00:33:27.779 --> 00:33:32.240
We<00:33:28.200><c> can't</c><00:33:30.200><c> treat</c><00:33:30.619><c> everybody</c><00:33:31.140><c> the</c><00:33:31.420><c> same.</c>

00:33:32.420 --> 00:33:35.920
And<00:33:32.700><c> so</c><00:33:33.099><c> what</c><00:33:33.200><c> does</c><00:33:33.700><c> the</c><00:33:33.880><c> Scripture</c><00:33:34.160><c> teach</c><00:33:34.519><c> us</c><00:33:35.000><c> about</c><00:33:35.559><c> this?</c>

00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:39.380
And<00:33:36.079><c> so</c><00:33:36.259><c> come</c><00:33:36.460><c> over</c><00:33:36.619><c> to</c><00:33:36.720><c> Matthew</c><00:33:37.000><c> chapter</c><00:33:37.420><c> 21.</c>

00:33:48.019 --> 00:33:51.079
Regardless<00:33:48.380><c> of</c><00:33:48.660><c> whether</c><00:33:48.799><c> we</c><00:33:49.000><c> have</c><00:33:49.200><c> children,</c><00:33:49.779><c> we</c><00:33:50.019><c> are</c><00:33:50.660><c> children.</c>

00:33:51.359 --> 00:33:53.960
We<00:33:51.539><c> are</c><00:33:51.880><c> children</c><00:33:52.339><c> in</c><00:33:52.579><c> the</c><00:33:52.720><c> eyes</c><00:33:52.920><c> of</c><00:33:53.099><c> our</c><00:33:53.200><c> Heavenly</c><00:33:53.500><c> Father,</c>

00:33:54.339 --> 00:33:58.299
and<00:33:54.740><c> thankfully</c><00:33:55.359><c> he</c><00:33:55.640><c> doesn't</c><00:33:56.000><c> treat</c><00:33:56.380><c> all</c><00:33:56.720><c> of</c><00:33:56.839><c> us</c><00:33:57.039><c> the</c><00:33:57.299><c> same.</c>

00:33:58.420 --> 00:34:02.079
And<00:33:58.640><c> so</c><00:33:58.759><c> we</c><00:33:58.900><c> need</c><00:33:59.059><c> to</c><00:33:59.259><c> do</c><00:33:59.480><c> as</c><00:33:59.740><c> he</c><00:33:59.940><c> does</c><00:34:00.559><c> in</c><00:34:00.940><c> manifesting</c><00:34:01.359><c> his</c><00:34:01.720><c> character.</c>

00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:04.740
And<00:34:02.359><c> so</c><00:34:02.460><c> we</c><00:34:02.579><c> look</c><00:34:02.700><c> at</c><00:34:02.839><c> this</c><00:34:03.059><c> passage</c><00:34:03.400><c> here</c><00:34:03.680><c> in</c><00:34:03.740><c> Matthew</c><00:34:04.059><c> 21.</c>

00:34:04.740 --> 00:34:08.500
And<00:34:05.579><c> it's</c><00:34:05.819><c> an</c><00:34:06.079><c> interesting</c><00:34:06.440><c> parable</c><00:34:07.000><c> that</c><00:34:07.400><c> Christ</c><00:34:07.779><c> tells,</c>

00:34:08.760 --> 00:34:11.239
and<00:34:08.860><c> we</c><00:34:09.019><c> won't</c><00:34:09.199><c> get</c><00:34:09.440><c> into</c><00:34:09.780><c> all</c><00:34:10.179><c> of</c><00:34:10.340><c> the</c><00:34:10.539><c> details</c><00:34:10.820><c> of</c><00:34:11.039><c> it,</c>

00:34:11.599 --> 00:34:15.639
but<00:34:11.760><c> we</c><00:34:12.380><c> consider</c><00:34:12.900><c> at</c><00:34:13.840><c> the</c><00:34:14.019><c> surface</c><00:34:14.480><c> what's</c><00:34:15.099><c> happening</c><00:34:15.360><c> here</c>

00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:16.380
in<00:34:15.780><c> this</c><00:34:16.019><c> parable</c>

00:34:16.380 --> 00:34:19.539
that<00:34:16.619><c> Christ</c><00:34:16.940><c> tells,</c><00:34:17.599><c> Matthew</c><00:34:17.760><c> 21</c><00:34:18.159><c> verse</c><00:34:18.440><c> 28.</c>

00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:22.940
But<00:34:20.860><c> what</c><00:34:21.139><c> think</c><00:34:21.360><c> ye?</c><00:34:21.519><c> A</c><00:34:21.699><c> certain</c><00:34:21.860><c> man</c><00:34:22.119><c> had</c><00:34:22.320><c> two</c><00:34:22.539><c> sons,</c>

00:34:23.340 --> 00:34:24.800
and<00:34:23.500><c> he</c><00:34:23.559><c> came</c><00:34:23.719><c> to</c><00:34:23.900><c> the</c><00:34:24.039><c> first</c><00:34:24.280><c> and</c><00:34:24.480><c> said,</c>

00:34:24.800 --> 00:34:27.019
Son,<00:34:25.440><c> go</c><00:34:25.699><c> work</c><00:34:25.940><c> today</c><00:34:26.239><c> in</c><00:34:26.420><c> my</c><00:34:26.559><c> vineyard.</c>

00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:29.699
And<00:34:27.579><c> he</c><00:34:27.679><c> answered</c><00:34:28.019><c> and</c><00:34:28.260><c> said,</c><00:34:28.880><c> I</c><00:34:29.079><c> will</c><00:34:29.300><c> not.</c>

00:34:30.099 --> 00:34:32.019
But<00:34:30.380><c> afterward</c><00:34:30.699><c> he</c><00:34:30.900><c> repented</c><00:34:31.400><c> and</c><00:34:31.699><c> went.</c>

00:34:32.019 --> 00:34:34.599
And<00:34:32.840><c> he</c><00:34:32.860><c> came</c><00:34:33.039><c> to</c><00:34:33.199><c> the</c><00:34:33.380><c> second</c><00:34:33.559><c> and</c><00:34:33.760><c> said</c><00:34:33.920><c> likewise,</c>

00:34:35.039 --> 00:34:40.000
and<00:34:35.139><c> he</c><00:34:36.039><c> answered</c><00:34:36.300><c> and</c><00:34:36.599><c> said,</c><00:34:36.980><c> I</c><00:34:37.139><c> go,</c><00:34:37.639><c> sir,</c><00:34:38.400><c> and</c><00:34:38.739><c> went</c><00:34:38.940><c> not.</c>

00:34:40.139 --> 00:34:43.940
And<00:34:40.559><c> on</c><00:34:40.780><c> the</c><00:34:40.980><c> parable</c><00:34:41.219><c> goes,</c><00:34:41.699><c> and</c><00:34:41.900><c> it's</c><00:34:42.539><c> referring,</c><00:34:42.860><c> of</c><00:34:43.119><c> course,</c>

00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:47.599
to<00:34:44.360><c> the</c><00:34:45.260><c> difference</c><00:34:45.639><c> between</c><00:34:46.099><c> the</c><00:34:46.340><c> Pharisees</c><00:34:46.840><c> and</c><00:34:46.920><c> the</c><00:34:47.119><c> publicans</c>

00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:51.340
versus<00:34:48.019><c> the</c><00:34:48.280><c> disciples</c><00:34:48.679><c> who</c><00:34:49.280><c> turned</c><00:34:49.840><c> to</c><00:34:50.920><c> Christ.</c>

00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:54.760
And<00:34:52.000><c> we</c><00:34:52.139><c> think</c><00:34:52.260><c> of</c><00:34:52.500><c> the</c><00:34:52.860><c> parable</c><00:34:53.139><c> of</c><00:34:53.320><c> the</c><00:34:53.519><c> prodigal</c><00:34:53.900><c> son.</c>

00:34:55.539 --> 00:34:57.920
That's<00:34:56.059><c> another</c><00:34:56.300><c> really</c><00:34:56.860><c> good</c><00:34:57.079><c> example,</c><00:34:57.500><c> isn't</c><00:34:57.679><c> it?</c>

00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:02.019
Around<00:34:58.340><c> two</c><00:34:58.840><c> boys</c><00:34:59.239><c> raised</c><00:34:59.760><c> in</c><00:35:00.039><c> the</c><00:35:00.219><c> same</c><00:35:00.380><c> house</c><00:35:00.719><c> by</c><00:35:01.000><c> a</c><00:35:01.119><c> loving</c><00:35:01.440><c> father.</c>

00:35:02.380 --> 00:35:03.639
And<00:35:02.659><c> how</c><00:35:02.820><c> did</c><00:35:02.940><c> they</c><00:35:03.179><c> react?</c>

00:35:04.059 --> 00:35:07.539
Very<00:35:04.440><c> different</c><00:35:04.820><c> circumstances</c><00:35:05.900><c> that</c><00:35:06.679><c> they</c><00:35:06.940><c> embarked</c><00:35:07.380><c> on.</c>

00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:13.699
And<00:35:08.239><c> yet</c><00:35:08.440><c> we</c><00:35:08.699><c> see</c><00:35:09.179><c> the</c><00:35:10.500><c> love</c><00:35:11.099><c> of</c><00:35:11.800><c> the</c><00:35:12.000><c> father</c><00:35:12.340><c> for</c><00:35:12.739><c> both</c><00:35:13.000><c> of</c><00:35:13.199><c> the</c><00:35:13.360><c> children</c>

00:35:13.699 --> 00:35:18.820
from<00:35:14.099><c> beginning</c><00:35:14.639><c> through</c><00:35:15.320><c> to</c><00:35:15.659><c> end,</c><00:35:15.980><c> regardless</c><00:35:16.539><c> of</c><00:35:16.860><c> how</c><00:35:17.420><c> they</c><00:35:18.320><c> responded.</c>

00:35:19.260 --> 00:35:25.760
And<00:35:19.559><c> so</c><00:35:20.019><c> what</c><00:35:20.639><c> does</c><00:35:21.460><c> Scripture</c><00:35:21.960><c> teach</c><00:35:22.360><c> us</c><00:35:22.860><c> about</c><00:35:23.300><c> how</c><00:35:23.900><c> different</c><00:35:24.239><c> people</c><00:35:25.079><c> react</c>

00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:34.420
What<00:35:29.500><c> does</c><00:35:29.679><c> the</c><00:35:29.880><c> Bible</c><00:35:30.159><c> tell</c><00:35:30.519><c> us</c><00:35:31.420><c> about,</c><00:35:32.659><c> for</c><00:35:32.920><c> example,</c><00:35:33.539><c> children?</c>

00:35:34.980 --> 00:35:38.559
Or<00:35:35.199><c> us,</c><00:35:35.860><c> as</c><00:35:36.119><c> children</c><00:35:36.559><c> in</c><00:35:37.159><c> the</c><00:35:37.340><c> eyes</c><00:35:37.500><c> of</c><00:35:37.760><c> God?</c>

00:35:38.980 --> 00:35:43.239
How<00:35:39.179><c> do</c><00:35:39.340><c> we</c><00:35:40.199><c> react,</c><00:35:41.760><c> one</c><00:35:42.000><c> versus</c><00:35:42.380><c> another?</c>

00:35:43.619 --> 00:35:46.280
How<00:35:43.800><c> do</c><00:35:43.880><c> our</c><00:35:44.079><c> children</c><00:35:44.380><c> react,</c><00:35:44.980><c> one</c><00:35:45.079><c> versus</c><00:35:45.480><c> another?</c>

00:35:46.500 --> 00:35:47.340
Same?

00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:49.400
No.

00:35:49.780 --> 00:35:51.559
We're<00:35:50.340><c> all</c><00:35:50.739><c> different,</c><00:35:51.340><c> right?</c>

00:35:51.619 --> 00:35:53.980
In<00:35:51.760><c> this</c><00:35:51.920><c> example,</c><00:35:52.400><c> one</c><00:35:52.619><c> says,</c><00:35:52.900><c> I'm</c><00:35:53.000><c> going</c><00:35:53.059><c> to</c><00:35:53.199><c> go</c><00:35:53.380><c> and</c><00:35:53.579><c> doesn't.</c>

00:35:56.559 --> 00:36:01.360
And<00:35:56.820><c> so</c><00:35:57.739><c> we</c><00:35:58.360><c> need</c><00:35:58.659><c> to</c><00:35:58.960><c> recognize</c><00:35:59.780><c> the</c><00:36:00.460><c> different</c><00:36:00.699><c> temperaments</c>

Although<00:36:23.880><c> acknowledging</c><00:36:24.500><c> that</c><00:36:24.760><c> we</c><00:36:24.960><c> are</c><00:36:25.159><c> all</c><00:36:25.340><c> individuals</c>

00:36:30.739 --> 00:36:33.519

00:36:40.360 --> 00:36:42.840
Our<00:36:40.800><c> experience</c><00:36:41.460><c> in</c><00:36:41.739><c> the</c><00:36:41.920><c> family</c><00:36:42.219><c> environment</c>

00:36:42.840 --> 00:36:47.039

00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:52.219
Perhaps<00:36:47.940><c> in</c><00:36:48.239><c> return,</c><00:36:49.539><c> we</c><00:36:49.739><c> can</c><00:36:49.960><c> attempt</c><00:36:50.239><c> to</c><00:36:50.519><c> deal</c><00:36:50.800><c> as</c><00:36:51.159><c> sympathetically</c>

00:37:01.139 --> 00:37:02.179
Okay.

00:37:02.940 --> 00:37:10.420
And<00:37:03.500><c> so</c><00:37:04.059><c> for</c><00:37:04.360><c> our</c><00:37:04.579><c> final</c><00:37:05.440><c> spiritual</c><00:37:06.380><c> principle</c><00:37:06.980><c> on</c><00:37:08.260><c> page</c><00:37:08.539><c> three,</c>

00:37:11.619 --> 00:37:15.139
we'll<00:37:11.860><c> consider</c><00:37:12.300><c> seeing</c><00:37:13.119><c> ourselves</c><00:37:14.119><c> for</c><00:37:14.539><c> who</c><00:37:14.659><c> we</c><00:37:14.900><c> are.</c>

00:37:15.139 --> 00:37:20.079
So<00:37:15.400><c> we</c><00:37:15.619><c> sort</c><00:37:15.820><c> of</c><00:37:16.719><c> talked</c><00:37:16.719><c> at</c><00:37:17.360><c> the</c><00:37:18.199><c> global</c><00:37:18.619><c> level</c><00:37:19.019><c> within</c><00:37:19.320><c> the</c><00:37:19.559><c> ecclesia</c>

00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:23.519
or<00:37:20.480><c> perhaps</c><00:37:20.920><c> within</c><00:37:21.300><c> our</c><00:37:21.739><c> individual</c><00:37:22.320><c> family.</c>

00:37:23.559 --> 00:37:25.380
But<00:37:23.820><c> what</c><00:37:23.980><c> about</c><00:37:24.159><c> ourselves?</c>

00:37:25.400 --> 00:37:27.940
Seeing<00:37:25.659><c> ourselves</c><00:37:26.320><c> for</c><00:37:26.559><c> who</c><00:37:26.719><c> we</c><00:37:27.019><c> are.</c>

00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:31.679
We<00:37:28.219><c> look</c><00:37:28.400><c> at</c><00:37:28.519><c> this</c><00:37:28.699><c> passage</c><00:37:29.059><c> in</c><00:37:29.280><c> Hebrews</c><00:37:29.579><c> chapter</c><00:37:30.000><c> five.</c>

00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:36.079
In<00:37:32.659><c> Hebrews</c><00:37:32.880><c> chapter</c><00:37:33.199><c> five,</c><00:37:33.659><c> it's</c><00:37:33.780><c> talking</c><00:37:34.119><c> about</c><00:37:34.940><c> the</c><00:37:35.280><c> high</c><00:37:35.519><c> priests</c>

00:37:36.079 --> 00:37:43.260
and<00:37:36.800><c> how</c><00:37:37.019><c> the</c><00:37:37.280><c> high</c><00:37:37.539><c> priests</c><00:37:38.519><c> recognized</c><00:37:39.960><c> and</c><00:37:40.179><c> were</c><00:37:40.420><c> circumspect</c><00:37:41.239><c> in</c><00:37:42.679><c> who</c>

00:37:43.260 --> 00:37:44.219
they<00:37:43.699><c> were.</c>

00:37:44.219 --> 00:37:47.179
And<00:37:44.840><c> I</c><00:37:44.980><c> think</c><00:37:45.119><c> there's</c><00:37:45.460><c> an</c><00:37:45.820><c> important</c><00:37:46.159><c> spiritual</c><00:37:46.739><c> principle</c>

00:37:47.179 --> 00:37:49.360
that<00:37:47.360><c> we</c><00:37:47.519><c> can</c><00:37:47.760><c> take</c><00:37:48.059><c> from</c><00:37:48.280><c> the</c><00:37:48.480><c> high</c><00:37:48.719><c> priests</c>

00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:54.300
when<00:37:49.980><c> we</c><00:37:50.320><c> consider</c><00:37:51.340><c> ourselves</c><00:37:52.619><c> for</c><00:37:53.139><c> who</c><00:37:53.559><c> we</c><00:37:53.920><c> are.</c>

00:37:54.780 --> 00:37:58.099
And<00:37:55.000><c> so</c><00:37:55.139><c> we</c><00:37:55.340><c> come</c><00:37:55.659><c> to</c><00:37:56.219><c> Hebrews</c><00:37:56.579><c> chapter</c><00:37:57.019><c> five,</c><00:37:57.500><c> verses</c><00:37:57.840><c> one</c>

00:37:58.099 --> 00:37:59.639

00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:01.380
It<00:38:01.199><c> says,</c>

00:38:01.579 --> 00:38:04.420
For<00:38:01.579><c> every</c><00:38:02.039><c> high</c><00:38:02.480><c> priest</c><00:38:02.940><c> taken</c><00:38:03.599><c> from</c><00:38:03.880><c> among</c><00:38:04.099><c> men</c>

00:38:07.340 --> 00:38:11.199
that<00:38:07.420><c> he</c><00:38:07.639><c> may</c><00:38:07.880><c> offer</c><00:38:08.219><c> both</c><00:38:08.599><c> gifts</c><00:38:08.880><c> and</c><00:38:09.280><c> sacrifices</c><00:38:09.820><c> for</c><00:38:10.260><c> sins,</c>

00:38:11.239 --> 00:38:13.219
who<00:38:11.400><c> can</c><00:38:11.559><c> have</c><00:38:11.780><c> compassion</c><00:38:12.360><c> on</c><00:38:12.559><c> the</c><00:38:12.780><c> ignorant</c>

00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:21.159

00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:27.679
And<00:38:21.920><c> so</c><00:38:22.739><c> why</c><00:38:23.519><c> were</c><00:38:23.880><c> the</c><00:38:24.179><c> high</c><00:38:24.480><c> priests</c><00:38:25.139><c> able</c><00:38:25.780><c> to</c><00:38:26.079><c> deal</c><00:38:26.320><c> so</c><00:38:26.699><c> gently</c><00:38:27.019><c> with</c><00:38:27.300><c> sinners?</c>

00:38:27.900 --> 00:38:29.940
What<00:38:28.059><c> is</c><00:38:28.239><c> this</c><00:38:28.460><c> telling</c><00:38:28.659><c> us?</c>

00:38:31.860 --> 00:38:33.199
They<00:38:32.179><c> were</c><00:38:32.420><c> sinners</c><00:38:32.619><c> too.</c>

00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:36.360
Yeah.<00:38:34.360><c> They</c><00:38:34.360><c> were</c><00:38:34.619><c> sinners</c><00:38:35.139><c> too.</c>

00:38:36.639 --> 00:38:37.400
Yeah.

00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:41.659
Anything<00:38:38.039><c> else</c><00:38:38.500><c> you</c><00:38:38.719><c> think</c><00:38:38.980><c> of?</c>

Of<00:38:41.940><c> all</c><00:38:42.139><c> the</c><00:38:42.300><c> trials</c><00:38:42.539><c> and</c><00:38:42.780><c> tribulations</c><00:38:43.380><c> of</c><00:38:43.599><c> a</c><00:38:43.780><c> common</c><00:38:44.019><c> man,</c>

00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:59.179

00:39:14.780 --> 00:39:20.179
They<00:39:15.139><c> could</c><00:39:15.579><c> empathize</c><00:39:16.639><c> with</c><00:39:17.119><c> the</c><00:39:17.380><c> sinners</c><00:39:17.739><c> that</c><00:39:18.579><c> were</c><00:39:18.940><c> coming</c><00:39:19.280><c> to</c><00:39:19.719><c> them.</c>

00:39:31.320 --> 00:39:35.539

the<00:41:20.340><c> one</c><00:41:20.800><c> body.</c>

00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:26.760
From<00:41:22.159><c> a</c><00:41:22.440><c> human</c><00:41:22.619><c> point</c><00:41:22.920><c> of</c><00:41:23.099><c> view,</c><00:41:24.139><c> this</c><00:41:24.659><c> will</c><00:41:25.199><c> cause</c><00:41:25.619><c> problems,</c>

00:41:27.220 --> 00:41:30.199
but<00:41:27.820><c> it</c><00:41:28.420><c> is</c><00:41:28.760><c> God's</c><00:41:29.320><c> design.</c>

00:41:31.980 --> 00:41:34.980
And<00:41:32.300><c> so,</c><00:41:33.519><c> we</c><00:41:33.659><c> come</c><00:41:33.820><c> to</c><00:41:33.960><c> the</c><00:41:34.059><c> end</c><00:41:34.179><c> of</c><00:41:34.340><c> our</c><00:41:34.500><c> first</c><00:41:34.719><c> class.</c>

00:41:35.059 --> 00:41:38.320
We<00:41:35.380><c> have</c><00:41:35.800><c> these</c><00:41:36.139><c> spiritual</c><00:41:36.679><c> principles</c><00:41:37.239><c> that</c><00:41:37.480><c> we've</c><00:41:37.840><c> considered</c>

00:41:38.320 --> 00:41:41.199
and<00:41:38.719><c> I</c><00:41:38.980><c> think</c><00:41:39.380><c> and</c><00:41:39.880><c> hope</c><00:41:40.079><c> that</c><00:41:40.280><c> they</c><00:41:40.579><c> set</c><00:41:40.719><c> the</c><00:41:40.940><c> table</c>

00:41:41.199 --> 00:41:44.099
for<00:41:41.460><c> what</c><00:41:41.699><c> we're</c><00:41:41.940><c> going</c><00:41:42.099><c> to</c><00:41:42.380><c> cover</c><00:41:42.679><c> in</c><00:41:43.059><c> our</c><00:41:43.219><c> next</c><00:41:43.440><c> class</c><00:41:43.800><c> after</c>

00:41:44.099 --> 00:41:44.579
the<00:41:44.360><c> break,</c>

00:41:44.679 --> 00:41:48.400
which<00:41:44.860><c> is</c><00:41:45.559><c> entitled</c><00:41:45.920><c> Taking</c><00:41:46.380><c> Stock,</c><00:41:47.079><c> Assembling</c><00:41:47.579><c> the</c><00:41:47.820><c> Materials,</c>

00:41:48.400 --> 00:41:51.400
and<00:41:49.300><c> we</c><00:41:49.619><c> will</c><00:41:49.860><c> get</c><00:41:50.360><c> very</c><00:41:50.840><c> practical.</c>

00:41:51.900 --> 00:41:53.800
Some<00:41:52.099><c> of</c><00:41:52.219><c> you</c><00:41:52.320><c> may</c><00:41:52.460><c> find</c><00:41:52.659><c> it</c><00:41:52.820><c> uncomfortable,</c>

00:41:54.320 --> 00:41:56.559
but<00:41:54.539><c> discomfort</c><00:41:55.099><c> is</c><00:41:55.500><c> where</c><00:41:55.659><c> the</c><00:41:55.860><c> growth</c><00:41:56.059><c> happens,</c>

00:41:56.980 --> 00:41:59.900
and<00:41:57.440><c> we're</c><00:41:57.659><c> going</c><00:41:57.820><c> to</c><00:41:58.199><c> consider</c><00:41:59.039><c> ourselves,</c>

00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:03.579
we're<00:42:00.460><c> going</c><00:42:00.619><c> to</c><00:42:00.900><c> consider</c><00:42:01.119><c> others,</c><00:42:02.139><c> consider</c><00:42:02.420><c> differences,</c>

00:42:03.699 --> 00:42:08.400
and<00:42:03.980><c> take</c><00:42:04.239><c> these</c><00:42:04.599><c> principles</c><00:42:05.139><c> on</c><00:42:05.440><c> how</c><00:42:05.780><c> we</c><00:42:06.099><c> are</c><00:42:06.360><c> to</c><00:42:06.719><c> treat</c><00:42:07.300><c> one</c><00:42:07.559><c> another.</c>

00:42:09.000 --> 00:42:11.739
But<00:42:09.599><c> first</c><00:42:09.860><c> of</c><00:42:10.000><c> all,</c><00:42:10.159><c> we'll</c><00:42:10.380><c> have</c><00:42:10.460><c> to</c><00:42:10.619><c> do</c><00:42:10.880><c> a</c><00:42:10.880><c> bit</c><00:42:11.320><c> of</c><00:42:11.519><c> self</c>

-examination<00:42:13.159><c> first.</c>

00:42:14.239 --> 00:42:16.820
So,<00:42:15.219><c> we'll</c><00:42:15.480><c> leave</c><00:42:15.619><c> our</c><00:42:15.920><c> considerations</c><00:42:16.360><c> there.</c>

00:42:16.820 --> 00:42:18.559
We've<00:42:17.480><c> covered</c><00:42:17.619><c> a</c><00:42:17.840><c> lot.</c>

00:42:18.980 --> 00:42:21.199

00:42:21.559 --> 00:42:25.619
and<00:42:22.219><c> I'll</c><00:42:22.619><c> turn</c><00:42:22.739><c> it</c><00:42:22.940><c> back</c><00:42:23.139><c> to</c><00:42:23.340><c> Brother</c><00:42:23.500><c> Jim</c><00:42:24.119><c> before</c><00:42:25.219><c> we</c><00:42:25.440><c> have</c>
