00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:24.339
You're<00:00:22.600><c> looking</c><00:00:22.859><c> good.</c>

00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:27.379
A<00:00:24.780><c> lot</c><00:00:24.800><c> of</c><00:00:25.039><c> words,</c><00:00:25.539><c> you</c><00:00:25.539><c> know.</c><00:00:25.679><c> You're</c><00:00:25.879><c> looking</c><00:00:26.059><c> good.</c><00:00:26.980><c> That's</c>

00:00:27.379 --> 00:00:27.660
all<00:00:27.500><c> right.</c>

00:00:27.660 --> 00:00:30.539
I<00:00:28.039><c> hope</c><00:00:28.140><c> you</c><00:00:28.379><c> tell</c><00:00:28.440><c> us</c><00:00:28.679><c> some</c><00:00:29.019><c> more</c><00:00:29.280><c> like</c><00:00:29.579><c> last</c><00:00:29.859><c> night</c><00:00:30.160><c> only,</c>

00:00:32.899 --> 00:00:34.960
I<00:00:33.340><c> found</c><00:00:33.579><c> it</c><00:00:33.719><c> very</c><00:00:33.979><c> helpful.</c>

00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:38.920
I<00:00:36.119><c> thought</c><00:00:36.240><c> it</c><00:00:36.399><c> was</c><00:00:36.539><c> on</c><00:00:36.679><c> the</c><00:00:36.939><c> bottom</c><00:00:37.200><c> rung</c><00:00:37.380><c> of</c><00:00:37.560><c> the</c><00:00:37.780><c> ladder,</c><00:00:38.140><c> but</c><00:00:38.359><c> now</c><00:00:38.700><c> I</c>

00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:41.920
discover<00:00:39.399><c> that</c><00:00:39.719><c> I'm</c><00:00:39.939><c> not</c><00:00:40.219><c> even</c><00:00:40.460><c> on</c><00:00:40.619><c> the</c><00:00:40.820><c> bottom</c><00:00:41.159><c> rung</c><00:00:41.380><c> of</c><00:00:41.560><c> the</c><00:00:41.719><c> ladder.</c>

00:00:42.219 --> 00:00:44.140
In<00:00:42.439><c> fact,</c><00:00:42.560><c> I</c><00:00:42.719><c> wonder</c><00:00:42.979><c> whether</c><00:00:43.200><c> I'm</c><00:00:43.340><c> on</c><00:00:43.399><c> the</c><00:00:43.640><c> bottom</c><00:00:43.840><c> rung</c><00:00:44.020><c> of</c>

the<00:00:44.299><c> wrong</c><00:00:44.479><c> ladder.</c>

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:47.920
I'm<00:00:46.259><c> perhaps</c><00:00:46.520><c> going</c><00:00:46.719><c> the</c><00:00:46.880><c> wrong</c><00:00:47.119><c> way,</c><00:00:47.520><c> you</c><00:00:47.679><c> know.</c>

Well,<00:00:48.600><c> these</c><00:00:48.740><c> are</c><00:00:48.859><c> the</c><00:00:48.979><c> reactions</c><00:00:49.280><c> I've</c><00:00:50.140><c> had,</c><00:00:50.340><c> so</c><00:00:50.520><c> I've</c><00:00:50.759><c> found</c>

00:21:25.980 --> 00:21:28.180
That<00:21:26.200><c> is</c><00:21:26.460><c> despicable</c><00:21:26.900><c> in</c><00:21:27.059><c> God's</c><00:21:27.579><c> sight</c><00:21:27.640><c> and</c><00:21:27.779><c> is</c><00:21:27.940><c> bringing</c>

00:25:55.660 --> 00:25:56.500
quite<00:25:55.920><c> remarkable.</c>

00:25:56.500 --> 00:25:59.960
He<00:25:57.660><c> wasn't</c><00:25:58.099><c> flawless</c><00:25:58.759><c> by</c><00:25:59.099><c> any</c><00:25:59.319><c> means.</c>

00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:10.680

00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:18.859
We<00:26:11.319><c> acquired</c><00:26:12.180><c> a</c><00:26:12.640><c> taste</c><00:26:13.160><c> for</c><00:26:14.759><c> theological</c><00:26:16.200><c> gladiatorship</c><00:26:18.359><c> for</c>

00:26:31.880 --> 00:26:34.099
and<00:26:32.000><c> he</c><00:26:32.059><c> was</c><00:26:32.299><c> saying</c><00:26:32.460><c> at</c><00:26:32.660><c> the</c><00:26:32.779><c> end</c><00:26:32.940><c> of</c><00:26:33.059><c> his</c><00:26:33.299><c> life</c><00:26:33.559><c> that</c><00:26:33.700><c> he</c><00:26:33.839><c> had</c>

That's<00:26:38.920><c> his</c><00:26:39.059><c> acknowledgement</c><00:26:39.480><c> at</c><00:26:39.700><c> the</c><00:26:39.759><c> end</c><00:26:39.900><c> of</c><00:26:40.019><c> his</c><00:26:40.180><c> life.</c>

00:26:40.900 --> 00:26:43.339
So<00:26:41.140><c> in</c><00:26:41.460><c> reading</c><00:26:41.799><c> everything</c><00:26:42.220><c> that's</c><00:26:42.480><c> written,</c><00:26:42.779><c> one</c><00:26:42.900><c> has</c><00:26:43.140><c> to</c>

00:27:02.180 --> 00:27:05.660
You<00:27:02.359><c> wouldn't</c><00:27:02.680><c> like</c><00:27:03.240><c> men</c><00:27:03.619><c> to</c><00:27:03.859><c> judge</c><00:27:04.039><c> you</c><00:27:04.339><c> by</c><00:27:04.539><c> what</c><00:27:05.000><c> you</c><00:27:05.339><c> did</c><00:27:05.480><c> at</c>

00:27:16.839 --> 00:27:21.140
But<00:27:17.359><c> I</c><00:27:17.500><c> have</c><00:27:17.720><c> grown</c><00:27:17.980><c> a</c><00:27:18.240><c> bit</c><00:27:18.480><c> since</c><00:27:18.779><c> then,</c><00:27:19.140><c> and</c><00:27:19.259><c> I'd</c><00:27:19.420><c> like</c><00:27:19.579><c> you</c><00:27:19.720><c> to</c><00:27:19.880><c> know</c><00:27:20.079><c> that</c><00:27:20.480><c> this</c><00:27:20.680><c> is</c><00:27:20.880><c> where</c><00:27:20.960><c> I</c>

00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:56.660
In<00:33:54.660><c> fact,</c><00:33:54.960><c> as</c><00:33:54.980><c> you</c><00:33:55.000><c> can</c><00:33:55.220><c> see,</c><00:33:55.500><c> John</c><00:33:55.640><c> Thomas</c><00:33:55.880><c> was</c><00:33:56.059><c> not</c><00:33:56.259><c> baptized</c>

00:33:56.660 --> 00:33:59.740

00:34:00.420 --> 00:34:03.440
The<00:34:00.559><c> rest</c><00:34:00.779><c> he</c><00:34:00.940><c> didn't</c><00:34:01.200><c> know,</c><00:34:01.559><c> all</c><00:34:01.720><c> he</c><00:34:01.980><c> had</c><00:34:02.119><c> got</c><00:34:02.359><c> was</c><00:34:02.579><c> the</c><00:34:02.819><c> endpoint.</c>

00:34:03.859 --> 00:34:07.259
And<00:34:04.039><c> the</c><00:34:04.200><c> endpoint</c><00:34:04.480><c> itself</c><00:34:04.859><c> is</c><00:34:05.140><c> useless</c><00:34:05.539><c> because</c><00:34:06.579><c> all</c><00:34:07.059><c> that</c>

00:34:07.259 --> 00:34:10.980

The<00:34:11.840><c> ritual</c><00:34:12.280><c> of</c><00:34:12.539><c> baptism</c><00:34:12.840><c> achieves</c><00:34:13.300><c> nothing.</c>

00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:20.059
Now,<00:34:15.820><c> that</c><00:34:16.239><c> began</c><00:34:16.619><c> to</c><00:34:16.960><c> disturb,</c><00:34:17.679><c> you</c><00:34:18.280><c> know,</c><00:34:18.800><c> people.</c>

00:34:35.860 --> 00:34:37.099
is<00:34:36.219><c> this.</c>

00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:41.159
It<00:34:37.400><c> is</c><00:34:37.679><c> through</c><00:34:37.960><c> him</c><00:34:38.460><c> that</c><00:34:39.260><c> I</c><00:34:39.460><c> got</c><00:34:39.619><c> to</c><00:34:39.860><c> know</c><00:34:39.980><c> my</c><00:34:40.219><c> Bible.</c>

00:34:47.340 --> 00:34:48.420
expounding<00:34:47.800><c> something,</c>

00:34:48.559 --> 00:34:50.559
even<00:34:48.820><c> if</c><00:34:48.900><c> you</c><00:34:49.059><c> were</c><00:34:49.179><c> not</c><00:34:49.320><c> to</c><00:34:49.539><c> agree</c><00:34:49.780><c> with</c><00:34:49.900><c> his</c><00:34:50.119><c> exposition,</c>

00:34:50.579 --> 00:34:51.400
for<00:34:50.820><c> example.</c>

00:34:51.760 --> 00:34:55.940
It<00:34:51.880><c> is</c><00:34:52.079><c> not</c><00:34:52.400><c> that.</c><00:34:53.179><c> It's</c><00:34:53.659><c> the</c><00:34:53.900><c> way</c><00:34:54.300><c> in</c><00:34:54.519><c> which</c><00:34:54.940><c> he</c><00:34:55.260><c> brings</c><00:34:55.539><c> all</c>

00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:05.199
So<00:35:02.780><c> that</c><00:35:02.920><c> now</c><00:35:03.039><c> I'm</c><00:35:03.079><c> not</c><00:35:03.260><c> afraid</c><00:35:03.599><c> of</c><00:35:03.780><c> my</c><00:35:03.960><c> Bible,</c><00:35:04.360><c> any</c><00:35:04.719><c> part</c><00:35:05.000><c> of</c>

00:35:07.699 --> 00:35:11.760
Now,<00:35:08.659><c> so</c><00:35:08.940><c> that's</c><00:35:09.280><c> what</c><00:35:09.420><c> he</c><00:35:09.719><c> led</c><00:35:09.920><c> me</c><00:35:10.719><c> to</c><00:35:11.239><c> do.</c>

00:35:12.159 --> 00:35:15.880

00:35:17.239 --> 00:35:19.860
And<00:35:17.400><c> I</c><00:35:17.500><c> look</c><00:35:17.599><c> at</c><00:35:17.659><c> it</c><00:35:17.760><c> for</c><00:35:17.860><c> myself.</c><00:35:18.980><c> You</c><00:35:19.139><c> know,</c><00:35:19.320><c> I</c><00:35:19.480><c> don't</c><00:35:19.659><c> look</c>

00:35:19.860 --> 00:35:21.820

00:35:22.300 --> 00:35:27.440
All<00:35:22.440><c> I</c><00:35:22.639><c> know</c><00:35:22.820><c> is</c><00:35:23.099><c> that</c><00:35:23.480><c> he</c><00:35:23.840><c> led</c><00:35:24.099><c> me</c><00:35:24.659><c> to</c><00:35:25.059><c> look</c><00:35:25.360><c> in</c><00:35:25.960><c> a</c><00:35:26.179><c> certain</c><00:35:26.460><c> way.</c>

that<00:35:51.760><c> we</c><00:35:51.860><c> haven't</c><00:35:52.019><c> got</c><00:35:52.260><c> time</c><00:35:52.719><c> to</c><00:35:53.800><c> do</c><00:35:55.119><c> this.</c>

Revelation<00:35:56.000><c> chapter</c><00:35:56.340><c> 7.</c>

00:35:59.860 --> 00:36:06.139
All<00:36:00.579><c> I</c><00:36:01.119><c> would</c><00:36:01.360><c> say</c><00:36:01.539><c> is</c><00:36:01.699><c> I</c><00:36:02.000><c> accept</c><00:36:02.780><c> the</c><00:36:03.980><c> historical</c><00:36:04.719><c> interpretation.</c>

00:36:08.219 --> 00:36:11.500
And<00:36:08.940><c> I</c><00:36:09.139><c> accept</c><00:36:09.360><c> it</c><00:36:09.500><c> on</c><00:36:09.659><c> one</c><00:36:09.920><c> simple</c><00:36:10.280><c> basis.</c>

00:36:12.539 --> 00:36:17.059
I<00:36:12.840><c> cannot</c><00:36:13.179><c> believe</c><00:36:14.320><c> that</c><00:36:14.699><c> God</c><00:36:14.920><c> left</c><00:36:15.300><c> all</c><00:36:15.619><c> my</c><00:36:15.880><c> brethren</c>

00:36:22.860 --> 00:36:28.519
without<00:36:24.300><c> leadership</c><00:36:25.039><c> in</c><00:36:25.940><c> a</c><00:36:26.179><c> book</c><00:36:26.599><c> from</c><00:36:27.139><c> Jesus,</c><00:36:27.840><c> which</c><00:36:28.199><c> he</c>

00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:37.280
I<00:36:31.340><c> just</c><00:36:31.699><c> can't,</c><00:36:32.019><c> I</c><00:36:32.179><c> don't</c><00:36:32.519><c> find</c><00:36:32.860><c> that</c><00:36:34.139><c> at</c><00:36:34.639><c> all</c><00:36:35.099><c> a</c><00:36:35.659><c> tolerable</c><00:36:36.280><c> thing.</c>

00:36:38.079 --> 00:36:44.159
So<00:36:38.579><c> I</c><00:36:39.500><c> think</c><00:36:39.820><c> that</c><00:36:40.059><c> the</c><00:36:40.199><c> book</c><00:36:40.599><c> leads</c><00:36:40.960><c> us</c><00:36:42.179><c> so</c><00:36:42.539><c> that</c><00:36:42.739><c> in</c><00:36:42.960><c> each</c><00:36:43.239><c> age,</c><00:36:43.940><c> men</c>

00:37:00.920 --> 00:37:01.739
Already.

00:37:02.440 --> 00:37:07.059

00:37:11.219 --> 00:37:14.039
So<00:37:11.480><c> men</c><00:37:11.699><c> had</c><00:37:11.980><c> placed</c><00:37:12.300><c> themselves</c><00:37:12.800><c> in</c><00:37:13.019><c> the</c><00:37:13.219><c> book.</c>

01:00:47.019 --> 01:00:47.940
Wherever<01:00:47.280><c> you</c><01:00:47.579><c> go.</c>

01:00:48.440 --> 01:00:49.800
And<01:00:48.659><c> all</c><01:00:48.920><c> the</c><01:00:49.219><c> protest</c><01:00:49.500><c> movements.</c>

01:00:49.920 --> 01:00:52.380
Don't<01:00:50.159><c> get</c><01:00:50.420><c> caught</c><01:00:50.559><c> up</c><01:00:50.719><c> in</c><01:00:50.840><c> protest</c><01:00:51.239><c> movements,</c><01:00:51.639><c> brethren.</c>

01:00:52.559 --> 01:00:53.320
Of<01:00:52.739><c> any</c><01:00:53.059><c> kind.</c>

01:00:53.320 --> 01:00:55.139
You<01:00:53.460><c> may</c><01:00:53.719><c> think,</c><01:00:53.960><c> well,</c><01:00:54.199><c> well,</c><01:00:54.320><c> it's</c><01:00:54.420><c> a</c><01:00:54.460><c> good</c><01:00:54.619><c> idea</c><01:00:54.840><c> to</c><01:00:54.940><c> be</c><01:00:55.039><c> in</c>

01:00:55.139 --> 01:00:56.960
this<01:00:55.320><c> protest</c><01:00:55.679><c> movement</c><01:00:55.960><c> or</c><01:00:56.139><c> in</c><01:00:56.440><c> that.</c>

01:00:57.179 --> 01:01:01.300
You<01:00:57.179><c> know,</c><01:00:59.199><c> environmentalists</c><01:01:00.000><c> all</c><01:01:00.360><c> parade</c><01:01:00.860><c> and</c><01:01:01.000><c> want</c><01:01:01.159><c> to</c>

01:01:01.300 --> 01:01:02.980
get<01:01:01.460><c> this</c><01:01:01.860><c> and</c><01:01:02.199><c> that.</c>

01:01:03.079 --> 01:01:05.760
Most<01:01:03.500><c> of</c><01:01:03.739><c> them</c><01:01:03.900><c> are</c><01:01:04.460><c> bound</c><01:01:04.739><c> up</c><01:01:04.940><c> with</c><01:01:05.179><c> politics.</c>

01:01:06.239 --> 01:01:10.940
And<01:01:06.599><c> they're</c><01:01:07.000><c> usually</c><01:01:07.420><c> exploited</c><01:01:08.360><c> by</c><01:01:09.320><c> left</c><01:01:09.699><c>-wing</c><01:01:09.900><c> people.</c>

01:01:11.559 --> 01:01:13.239
So<01:01:11.880><c> keep</c><01:01:12.139><c> out</c><01:01:12.340><c> of</c><01:01:12.579><c> protest</c><01:01:12.860><c> movements.</c>

01:01:13.500 --> 01:01:15.280
We<01:01:13.500><c> are</c><01:01:13.599><c> not</c><01:01:13.900><c> to</c><01:01:14.099><c> be</c><01:01:14.400><c> part</c><01:01:14.639><c> of</c><01:01:14.920><c> that.</c>

01:01:15.500 --> 01:01:18.179
We<01:01:15.619><c> are</c><01:01:15.739><c> to</c><01:01:15.920><c> be,</c><01:01:16.219><c> well,</c><01:01:16.340><c> just</c><01:01:16.579><c> come</c><01:01:16.860><c> to</c><01:01:17.820><c> Titus.</c>

01:01:18.239 --> 01:01:19.699
Just<01:01:18.539><c> see</c><01:01:18.760><c> it.</c>

01:01:25.159 --> 01:01:27.820
All<01:01:25.760><c> the</c><01:01:25.980><c> way</c><01:01:26.139><c> that</c><01:01:26.300><c> we</c><01:01:26.460><c> have</c><01:01:26.760><c> come.</c>

01:01:35.199 --> 01:01:38.260
Chapter<01:01:35.800><c> 3</c><01:01:36.300><c> and</c><01:01:36.519><c> verse</c><01:01:36.840><c> 1</c><01:01:37.139><c> of</c><01:01:37.480><c> Titus.</c>

01:01:38.719 --> 01:01:42.440
Put<01:01:38.719><c> them</c><01:01:38.940><c> in</c><01:01:39.219><c> mind</c><01:01:39.579><c> to</c><01:01:39.699><c> be</c><01:01:39.980><c> subject</c><01:01:40.480><c> to</c><01:01:40.760><c> principalities,</c><01:01:41.739><c> powers,</c><01:01:42.320><c> to</c>

01:01:42.440 --> 01:01:43.579
obey<01:01:42.739><c> magistrates,</c>

01:01:43.780 --> 01:01:48.619
to<01:01:43.860><c> be</c><01:01:44.099><c> ready</c><01:01:44.340><c> to</c><01:01:44.579><c> every</c><01:01:44.840><c> good</c><01:01:45.179><c> work,</c><01:01:45.599><c> to</c><01:01:45.659><c> speak</c><01:01:45.980><c> evil</c><01:01:46.500><c> of</c><01:01:47.039><c> no</c><01:01:47.420><c> man.</c>

01:01:48.960 --> 01:01:51.679
We're<01:01:49.000><c> not</c><01:01:49.199><c> to</c><01:01:49.360><c> go</c><01:01:49.539><c> about</c><01:01:49.880><c> speaking</c><01:01:50.199><c> evil</c><01:01:50.519><c> of</c><01:01:50.780><c> people.</c>

01:01:52.599 --> 01:01:56.340
We're<01:01:53.039><c> not</c><01:01:53.179><c> to</c><01:01:53.380><c> be</c><01:01:53.739><c> contentious</c><01:01:54.440><c> people</c><01:01:54.679><c> but</c><01:01:54.940><c> gentle,</c><01:01:55.659><c> showing</c><01:01:55.840><c> all</c>

01:01:56.340 --> 01:01:58.199
meekness<01:01:56.699><c> unto</c><01:01:56.940><c> all</c><01:01:57.320><c> men.</c>

01:01:58.280 --> 01:01:59.500
That's<01:01:58.639><c> the</c><01:01:58.699><c> way</c><01:01:58.840><c> we've</c><01:01:59.079><c> got</c><01:01:59.219><c> to</c><01:01:59.420><c> go.</c>

01:01:59.639 --> 01:02:02.360
Jesus<01:01:59.980><c> had</c><01:02:00.119><c> done</c><01:02:00.280><c> to</c><01:02:00.420><c> the</c><01:02:00.599><c> Romans</c><01:02:00.920><c> and</c><01:02:01.139><c> said</c><01:02:01.320><c> nothing</c><01:02:01.619><c> about</c><01:02:01.960><c> them.</c>

01:02:02.539 --> 01:02:03.380
Right?

01:02:04.420 --> 01:02:07.219
He<01:02:04.539><c> could</c><01:02:04.719><c> have</c><01:02:04.739><c> quoted</c><01:02:04.960><c> Daniel</c><01:02:05.380><c> to</c><01:02:05.599><c> tell</c><01:02:05.699><c> them</c><01:02:05.760><c> what</c><01:02:05.920><c> they</c><01:02:06.199><c> were.</c>

01:02:07.380 --> 01:02:10.079
He<01:02:07.599><c> quoted</c><01:02:07.840><c> that</c><01:02:08.139><c> to</c><01:02:08.300><c> the</c><01:02:08.480><c> disciples</c><01:02:08.920><c> to</c><01:02:09.159><c> tell</c><01:02:09.199><c> them</c><01:02:09.300><c> to</c><01:02:09.500><c> prepare.</c>

01:02:10.400 --> 01:02:13.239
But<01:02:10.519><c> he</c><01:02:10.599><c> was</c><01:02:10.780><c> in</c><01:02:11.000><c> no</c><01:02:11.239><c> sense</c><01:02:11.440><c> a</c><01:02:11.619><c> troublemaker</c><01:02:12.199><c> as</c><01:02:12.800><c> far</c><01:02:12.960><c> as</c><01:02:13.059><c> the</c>

01:02:13.239 --> 01:02:14.699
Romans<01:02:13.440><c> were</c><01:02:13.659><c> concerned.</c>

01:02:14.780 --> 01:02:20.039
And<01:02:15.039><c> so</c><01:02:15.179><c> we</c><01:02:15.400><c> ourselves</c><01:02:15.920><c> have</c><01:02:16.159><c> got</c><01:02:16.300><c> to</c><01:02:16.599><c> be</c><01:02:17.219><c> gently</c><01:02:18.039><c> submissive,</c>

01:02:20.039 --> 01:02:22.099
knowing<01:02:20.460><c> that</c><01:02:20.639><c> these</c><01:02:20.880><c> things</c><01:02:21.159><c> are</c><01:02:21.400><c> of</c><01:02:21.619><c> God.</c>

01:02:22.440 --> 01:02:27.280
And<01:02:22.559><c> when</c><01:02:22.579><c> it</c><01:02:22.780><c> does</c><01:02:22.940><c> come</c><01:02:23.119><c> to</c><01:02:23.280><c> the</c><01:02:23.500><c> crunch,</c><01:02:23.860><c> which</c><01:02:23.980><c> is</c><01:02:24.260><c> just</c><01:02:24.679><c> occasionally</c><01:02:25.400><c> not</c><01:02:26.340><c> according</c><01:02:26.780><c> to</c><01:02:27.039><c> law,</c>

01:02:27.360 --> 01:02:29.340
then<01:02:27.539><c> we</c><01:02:27.820><c> make</c><01:02:28.039><c> our</c><01:02:28.400><c> stand.</c>

01:02:29.659 --> 01:02:31.659
And<01:02:29.780><c> yours</c><01:02:29.940><c> has</c><01:02:30.139><c> been</c><01:02:30.340><c> unique.</c>

01:02:31.840 --> 01:02:37.480
And<01:02:32.099><c> our</c><01:02:32.340><c> hearts,</c><01:02:34.280><c> the</c><01:02:34.420><c> hearts</c><01:02:34.579><c> of</c><01:02:34.760><c> the</c><01:02:34.900><c> Brotherhood</c><01:02:35.199><c> elsewhere,</c><01:02:37.380><c> have</c>

01:02:37.480 --> 01:02:38.960
been<01:02:37.719><c> with</c><01:02:38.019><c> you.</c>

01:02:39.880 --> 01:02:42.420
And<01:02:40.099><c> your,</c><01:02:40.380><c> having</c><01:02:40.559><c> gone</c><01:02:40.820><c> through</c><01:02:41.039><c> the</c><01:02:41.260><c> crucible,</c>

01:02:43.400 --> 01:02:46.599
is<01:02:43.619><c> to</c><01:02:43.980><c> produce</c><01:02:44.280><c> a</c><01:02:44.480><c> metal</c><01:02:44.699><c> for</c><01:02:44.900><c> the</c><01:02:45.219><c> finer</c><01:02:45.539><c> that</c><01:02:45.699><c> will</c><01:02:45.960><c> be</c><01:02:46.239><c> seen</c>

01:02:46.599 --> 01:02:47.579
for<01:02:46.960><c> others</c>

01:02:47.579 --> 01:02:50.119
and<01:02:48.579><c> by</c><01:02:48.820><c> others</c><01:02:49.239><c> as</c><01:02:49.460><c> their</c><01:02:49.679><c> example.</c>

01:02:50.179 --> 01:02:51.800
They<01:02:50.400><c> too</c><01:02:50.639><c> are</c><01:02:50.800><c> going</c><01:02:50.920><c> to</c><01:02:51.099><c> need</c><01:02:51.260><c> it.</c>

01:02:52.219 --> 01:02:56.559
So<01:02:52.659><c> thanks,</c><01:02:53.440><c> brethren,</c><01:02:53.880><c> for</c><01:02:54.139><c> your</c><01:02:55.360><c> example</c><01:02:56.019><c> to</c><01:02:56.260><c> us</c>

01:02:56.559 --> 01:03:02.280
because<01:02:57.280><c> God</c><01:02:57.579><c> has</c><01:02:57.800><c> chosen</c><01:02:58.099><c> you</c><01:02:58.820><c> to</c><01:02:59.460><c> be</c><01:02:59.739><c> leaders</c><01:03:00.440><c> in</c><01:03:01.079><c> this</c><01:03:01.280><c> generation,</c><01:03:02.119><c> in</c>

01:03:02.280 --> 01:03:04.219

01:03:04.739 --> 01:03:07.159
And<01:03:04.739><c> he</c><01:03:05.599><c> could</c><01:03:05.719><c> have</c><01:03:05.860><c> chosen</c><01:03:06.059><c> somebody</c><01:03:06.400><c> else</c><01:03:06.679><c> but</c><01:03:06.780><c> he</c><01:03:06.920><c> said</c><01:03:07.039><c> it</c>

01:03:07.159 --> 01:03:08.960
was<01:03:07.340><c> you</c><01:03:07.679><c> that</c><01:03:07.820><c> he</c><01:03:07.940><c> wanted</c><01:03:08.159><c> to</c><01:03:08.460><c> choose.</c>

01:03:09.460 --> 01:03:10.880
And<01:03:09.639><c> God</c><01:03:09.880><c> did.</c>

01:03:11.400 --> 01:03:13.880
And<01:03:11.639><c> you</c><01:03:11.780><c> haven't</c><01:03:12.039><c> cracked</c><01:03:12.340><c> under</c><01:03:12.699><c> it.</c>

01:03:13.900 --> 01:03:15.480
And<01:03:14.079><c> that's</c><01:03:14.340><c> a</c><01:03:14.440><c> great</c><01:03:14.599><c> blessing.</c>

01:03:20.340 --> 01:03:22.980
Just,<01:03:20.739><c> I</c><01:03:21.139><c> see</c><01:03:21.420><c> we're</c><01:03:21.599><c> at</c><01:03:21.760><c> nine</c><01:03:21.920><c> o</c><01:03:22.159><c>'clock,</c><01:03:22.400><c> and</c><01:03:22.500><c> I'd</c><01:03:22.659><c> better</c><01:03:22.780><c> not</c>

01:03:22.980 --> 01:03:25.300
go<01:03:23.139><c> on</c><01:03:23.239><c> as</c><01:03:23.340><c> long</c><01:03:23.480><c> as</c><01:03:23.599><c> I</c><01:03:23.719><c> went</c><01:03:23.860><c> on</c><01:03:24.099><c> last</c><01:03:24.420><c> night.</c>

01:03:27.019 --> 01:03:31.639

01:12:52.579 --> 01:12:56.199
And<01:12:52.739><c> that's</c><01:12:53.140><c> how</c><01:12:53.340><c> those</c><01:12:53.819><c> excitations</c><01:12:54.380><c> came</c><01:12:54.699><c> into</c><01:12:55.020><c> existence,</c>

01:13:07.260 --> 01:13:09.560
When<01:13:07.619><c> the</c><01:13:08.439><c> superintendent</c><01:13:08.720><c> handed</c><01:13:08.939><c> it</c><01:13:09.159><c> over</c><01:13:09.220><c> to</c><01:13:09.399><c> me,</c>

01:13:13.420 --> 01:13:15.220
I<01:13:13.659><c> thought,</c><01:13:13.880><c> oh</c><01:13:14.220><c> my.</c>

01:13:15.420 --> 01:13:17.579
This,<01:13:15.859><c> you</c><01:13:15.979><c> know,</c><01:13:16.420><c> at</c><01:13:16.520><c> whatever</c><01:13:16.760><c> age</c><01:13:16.960><c> I</c><01:13:17.159><c> was,</c><01:13:17.359><c> I</c><01:13:17.439><c> was</c><01:13:17.479><c> only</c>

01:13:23.399 --> 01:13:25.560
And<01:13:23.640><c> then</c><01:13:23.760><c> I</c><01:13:23.859><c> got</c><01:13:23.960><c> its</c><01:13:24.199><c> companion</c><01:13:24.560><c> volume</c><01:13:24.859><c> and</c><01:13:25.079><c> so</c><01:13:25.260><c> on.</c>

01:13:25.939 --> 01:13:28.819
I<01:13:26.140><c> hope</c><01:13:26.359><c> we're</c><01:13:26.560><c> reading</c><01:13:26.920><c> those</c><01:13:27.260><c> some</c><01:13:27.460><c> kind</c><01:13:27.579><c> of</c><01:13:27.859><c> time.</c>

They're<01:13:29.680><c> helpful.</c>

01:13:30.680 --> 01:13:31.939
And<01:13:30.939><c> they</c><01:13:31.039><c> had</c><01:13:31.159><c> all</c><01:13:31.420><c> our</c><01:13:31.619><c> problems.</c>

They<01:13:35.479><c> got</c><01:13:35.640><c> the</c><01:13:35.859><c> lot.</c>

01:13:37.680 --> 01:13:39.319
You<01:13:37.779><c> know,</c><01:13:37.859><c> we</c><01:13:38.020><c> think,</c><01:13:38.260><c> well,</c><01:13:38.460><c> we've</c><01:13:38.720><c> got</c><01:13:38.819><c> the</c><01:13:39.100><c> problems,</c>

So<01:13:46.119><c> he</c><01:13:46.199><c> gave</c><01:13:46.239><c> them</c><01:13:46.439><c> a</c><01:13:46.479><c> remedy</c><01:13:46.680><c> for</c><01:13:46.960><c> cough</c><01:13:47.180><c> mix.</c>

If<01:13:50.319><c> that</c><01:13:50.579><c> started</c><01:13:50.840><c> to</c><01:13:51.119><c> appear</c><01:13:51.260><c> in</c><01:13:51.420><c> the</c><01:13:51.520><c> Christodopean</c><01:13:52.119><c> or</c><01:13:52.239><c> in</c><01:13:52.439><c> Logos,</c>

You<01:13:56.079><c> know,</c><01:13:56.520><c> that's</c><01:13:56.739><c> what</c><01:13:56.779><c> they</c><01:13:56.960><c> did</c><01:13:57.119><c> in</c><01:13:57.300><c> those</c><01:13:57.600><c> days.</c>

01:14:00.640 --> 01:14:03.520
Well,<01:14:01.260><c> the</c><01:14:01.380><c> fact</c><01:14:01.600><c> is</c><01:14:01.760><c> that</c><01:14:01.859><c> many</c><01:14:02.060><c> of</c><01:14:02.180><c> them</c><01:14:02.239><c> were</c><01:14:02.420><c> not</c><01:14:02.600><c> well</c><01:14:02.819><c>-educated.</c>

01:14:03.520 --> 01:14:06.420
They'd<01:14:04.180><c> not</c><01:14:04.340><c> belonged</c><01:14:04.680><c> to</c><01:14:04.859><c> a</c><01:14:05.039><c> community</c><01:14:05.380><c> before.</c>

01:14:06.460 --> 01:14:10.539
And<01:14:06.520><c> our</c><01:14:06.779><c> brethren,</c><01:14:07.600><c> our</c><01:14:08.000><c> brethren</c><01:14:08.460><c> were</c><01:14:08.779><c> educated</c><01:14:09.439><c> by</c><01:14:09.779><c> the</c><01:14:10.039><c> Bible</c>

01:14:15.640 --> 01:14:17.680
We<01:14:15.699><c> had</c><01:14:15.779><c> a</c><01:14:15.899><c> rather</c><01:14:16.100><c> sophisticated</c><01:14:16.699><c> young</c><01:14:17.000><c> man</c><01:14:17.180><c> who</c><01:14:17.380><c> came</c><01:14:17.500><c> to</c>

01:14:52.600 --> 01:14:58.260
So<01:14:52.800><c> the</c><01:14:52.960><c> brother</c><01:14:53.140><c> who</c><01:14:53.319><c> dropped</c><01:14:53.439><c> his</c><01:14:53.699><c> H's</c><01:14:55.859><c> was</c><01:14:56.579><c> ungrammatical,</c>

gave<01:14:59.319><c> his</c><01:14:59.520><c> address.</c>

01:15:02.300 --> 01:15:07.199
And<01:15:02.460><c> this</c><01:15:02.539><c> young</c><01:15:02.720><c> man</c><01:15:02.939><c> said,</c><01:15:05.659><c> I</c><01:15:05.720><c> like</c><01:15:05.960><c> that.</c>

01:15:08.239 --> 01:15:10.979
He<01:15:08.399><c> said</c><01:15:08.600><c> he</c><01:15:08.699><c> was</c><01:15:08.920><c> sincere</c><01:15:09.380><c> about</c><01:15:09.619><c> what</c><01:15:09.760><c> he</c><01:15:09.920><c> was</c><01:15:10.100><c> saying.</c>

All<01:15:14.560><c> right?</c>

01:15:15.079 --> 01:15:17.220
So<01:15:15.279><c> God</c><01:15:15.439><c> chose</c><01:15:15.760><c> the</c><01:15:15.899><c> one</c><01:15:16.020><c> he</c><01:15:16.060><c> had</c><01:15:16.239><c> to</c><01:15:16.399><c> hear.</c>

01:15:17.859 --> 01:15:20.859
He<01:15:17.939><c> didn't</c><01:15:18.079><c> go</c><01:15:18.520><c> to</c><01:15:19.020><c> the</c><01:15:19.220><c> person</c><01:15:19.460><c> who</c><01:15:19.600><c> got</c><01:15:19.720><c> lots</c><01:15:19.960><c> of</c><01:15:20.279><c> words</c><01:15:20.739><c> and</c>

01:15:20.859 --> 01:15:22.000
was<01:15:21.100><c> eloquent.</c>

01:15:22.319 --> 01:15:24.819
I<01:15:22.420><c> mean,</c><01:15:22.720><c> you</c><01:15:22.819><c> just</c><01:15:23.000><c> said,</c><01:15:23.359><c> oh,</c><01:15:23.600><c> get</c><01:15:23.659><c> him</c><01:15:23.880><c> there,</c><01:15:24.180><c> you</c><01:15:24.399><c> know.</c>

01:15:24.819 --> 01:15:28.720
Not<01:15:25.359><c> then,</c><01:15:25.899><c> but</c><01:15:26.260><c> just</c><01:15:26.579><c> for</c><01:15:26.760><c> this</c><01:15:27.359><c> simple</c><01:15:27.720><c> brother.</c>

01:15:30.260 --> 01:15:32.939
And<01:15:30.479><c> after</c><01:15:30.920><c> all,</c><01:15:31.579><c> he</c><01:15:31.680><c> got</c><01:15:31.859><c> to</c><01:15:32.020><c> humble</c><01:15:32.140><c> himself,</c><01:15:32.680><c> this</c><01:15:32.739><c> young</c>

01:15:32.939 --> 01:15:34.300
man,<01:15:33.140><c> which</c><01:15:33.300><c> he</c><01:15:33.460><c> did.</c>

01:15:34.779 --> 01:15:37.680
And<01:15:34.920><c> it</c><01:15:34.979><c> was</c><01:15:35.159><c> this</c><01:15:35.380><c> humble</c><01:15:35.680><c> man</c><01:15:36.020><c> who</c><01:15:36.279><c> humbled</c><01:15:36.579><c> him,</c>

01:15:38.000 --> 01:15:40.439
and<01:15:38.140><c> not</c><01:15:38.300><c> the</c><01:15:38.500><c> speaker</c><01:15:38.659><c> that</c><01:15:38.859><c> you</c><01:15:39.000><c> and</c><01:15:39.100><c> I</c><01:15:39.199><c> might</c><01:15:39.439><c> have</c><01:15:39.659><c> chosen.</c>

01:15:40.800 --> 01:15:42.819
So<01:15:40.960><c> God's</c><01:15:41.260><c> ways</c><01:15:41.380><c> are</c><01:15:41.539><c> not</c><01:15:41.699><c> our</c><01:15:41.960><c> way.</c>

01:15:43.619 --> 01:15:46.180
And<01:15:44.140><c> I</c><01:15:44.659><c> think</c><01:15:44.859><c> our</c><01:15:45.119><c> community</c><01:15:45.520><c> has</c><01:15:45.859><c> benefited.</c>

01:15:46.439 --> 01:15:51.960
It<01:15:46.680><c> did</c><01:15:47.039><c> benefit,</c><01:15:48.239><c> brethren,</c><01:15:48.680><c> it</c><01:15:48.939><c> did</c><01:15:49.340><c> benefit</c><01:15:50.020><c> in</c><01:15:50.760><c> those</c><01:15:51.199><c> days</c><01:15:51.479><c> when</c><01:15:51.699><c> our</c>

01:15:51.960 --> 01:15:53.439
education<01:15:52.460><c> came</c><01:15:52.720><c> from</c><01:15:52.960><c> Scripture.</c>

01:15:53.439 --> 01:15:57.239
Now<01:15:53.979><c> these</c><01:15:54.460><c> days,</c><01:15:54.939><c> most</c><01:15:55.220><c> of</c><01:15:55.319><c> us</c><01:15:55.739><c> are</c><01:15:56.060><c> educated</c><01:15:56.520><c> otherwise.</c>

01:15:57.659 --> 01:16:00.880
That's<01:15:58.260><c> because</c><01:15:58.539><c> of</c><01:15:58.840><c> the</c><01:15:59.500><c> education</c><01:15:59.960><c> system</c><01:16:00.300><c> of</c><01:16:00.500><c> the</c><01:16:00.640><c> world</c>

01:16:00.880 --> 01:16:02.340
in<01:16:01.020><c> which</c><01:16:01.220><c> we</c><01:16:01.479><c> live.</c>

01:16:02.479 --> 01:16:06.060
Now<01:16:02.699><c> what</c><01:16:02.880><c> I</c><01:16:03.060><c> would</c><01:16:03.319><c> say</c><01:16:03.619><c> to</c><01:16:04.119><c> young</c><01:16:04.439><c> brethren</c><01:16:04.720><c> is</c><01:16:05.020><c> this.</c>

01:16:06.199 --> 01:16:11.119
I<01:16:06.739><c> think</c><01:16:07.100><c> it's</c><01:16:07.880><c> time</c><01:16:08.220><c> that</c><01:16:09.039><c> some</c><01:16:09.359><c> of</c><01:16:09.500><c> us</c><01:16:09.699><c> got</c><01:16:10.039><c> cracking.</c>

01:16:12.880 --> 01:16:16.659
I<01:16:13.020><c> think</c><01:16:13.220><c> some</c><01:16:13.479><c> of</c><01:16:13.600><c> us</c><01:16:13.720><c> have</c><01:16:13.880><c> had</c><01:16:14.079><c> good</c><01:16:14.399><c> education,</c><01:16:15.300><c> and</c><01:16:15.579><c> we</c><01:16:15.739><c> are</c><01:16:15.960><c> not</c><01:16:16.239><c> putting</c><01:16:16.479><c> it</c>

01:16:16.659 --> 01:16:17.819
to<01:16:16.720><c> the</c><01:16:17.020><c> best</c><01:16:17.359><c> use.</c>

01:16:18.239 --> 01:16:20.979
We<01:16:18.300><c> can</c><01:16:18.460><c> all</c><01:16:18.739><c> read,</c><01:16:19.560><c> you</c><01:16:19.739><c> know.</c>

01:16:21.079 --> 01:16:24.859
There<01:16:21.560><c> are</c><01:16:21.699><c> brethren</c><01:16:21.880><c> who</c><01:16:22.020><c> have</c><01:16:22.420><c> to</c><01:16:22.500><c> be</c><01:16:22.859><c> taught</c><01:16:23.060><c> to</c><01:16:23.380><c> read</c><01:16:23.720><c> to</c>

01:16:24.859 --> 01:16:26.279
come<01:16:25.039><c> into</c><01:16:25.159><c> the</c><01:16:25.439><c> truth.</c>

01:16:26.500 --> 01:16:28.939
And<01:16:26.579><c> we</c><01:16:26.619><c> can</c><01:16:26.800><c> all</c><01:16:27.079><c> read,</c><01:16:27.819><c> and</c><01:16:27.880><c> we're</c><01:16:28.140><c> reading</c><01:16:28.140><c> all</c><01:16:28.460><c> the</c><01:16:28.680><c> wrong</c>

01:16:28.939 --> 01:16:29.600
kinds<01:16:29.279><c> of</c><01:16:29.479><c> things.</c>

01:16:29.659 --> 01:16:32.640
Let's<01:16:29.859><c> get</c><01:16:30.159><c> back</c><01:16:30.560><c> to</c><01:16:30.779><c> understanding</c><01:16:31.279><c> our</c><01:16:31.579><c> Bibles</c><01:16:32.039><c> and</c>

01:16:32.640 --> 01:16:33.600
ourselves<01:16:33.119><c> reading,</c>

01:16:33.960 --> 01:16:35.460
opening<01:16:34.260><c> it</c><01:16:34.500><c> out</c><01:16:34.640><c> for</c><01:16:34.819><c> our</c><01:16:35.079><c> children.</c>

01:16:35.840 --> 01:16:37.699
There's<01:16:35.979><c> only</c><01:16:36.220><c> one</c><01:16:36.420><c> education</c><01:16:36.859><c> that</c><01:16:37.100><c> matters,</c><01:16:37.300><c> and</c><01:16:37.439><c> that's</c>

01:16:37.699 --> 01:16:38.960
the<01:16:37.840><c> education</c><01:16:38.159><c> that</c><01:16:38.279><c> has</c><01:16:38.460><c> to</c><01:16:38.699><c> do</c>

by<01:16:43.859><c> the</c><01:16:44.079><c> grace</c><01:16:44.279><c> of</c><01:16:44.420><c> God</c><01:16:44.640><c> himself.</c>

01:16:45.340 --> 01:16:46.840
That's<01:16:45.739><c> the</c><01:16:45.899><c> education</c><01:16:46.340><c> that</c><01:16:46.560><c> matters.</c>

01:16:47.119 --> 01:16:48.420
All<01:16:47.359><c> the</c><01:16:47.460><c> rest</c><01:16:47.600><c> is</c><01:16:47.840><c> going</c><01:16:47.960><c> to</c><01:16:48.159><c> go.</c>

01:16:48.420 --> 01:16:51.619

01:16:51.880 --> 01:16:56.000

01:16:56.420 --> 01:16:59.500
