And<00:05:39.220><c> we</c><00:05:39.399><c> take</c><00:05:39.759><c> the</c><00:05:40.199><c> verses</c><00:05:40.540><c> in</c><00:05:41.060><c> the</c><00:05:41.180><c> New</c><00:05:41.360><c> Testament</c><00:05:41.939><c> that</c><00:05:42.399><c> speak</c><00:05:42.660><c> about</c><00:05:43.279><c> the</c>

00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:55.959
And<00:05:48.699><c> so</c><00:05:49.180><c> we</c><00:05:50.100><c> have</c><00:05:50.620><c> a</c><00:05:50.920><c> clarity</c><00:05:51.279><c> there</c><00:05:51.860><c> about</c><00:05:52.720><c> how</c><00:05:53.379><c> this</c><00:05:53.740><c> spiritual</c><00:05:54.079><c> principle,</c><00:05:54.660><c> when</c><00:05:54.779><c> it's</c><00:05:55.060><c> understood,</c><00:05:55.459><c> would</c><00:05:55.660><c> be</c>

00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.759

00:06:05.740 --> 00:06:09.699
So<00:06:05.899><c> it's</c><00:06:06.060><c> something</c><00:06:06.199><c> I've</c><00:06:06.420><c> been</c><00:06:06.560><c> thinking</c><00:06:06.819><c> about</c><00:06:07.360><c> for</c><00:06:08.180><c> a</c><00:06:08.399><c> while,</c><00:06:09.259><c> and</c>

00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:16.220
I<00:06:12.480><c> actually</c><00:06:12.480><c> have</c><00:06:14.060><c> written</c><00:06:14.279><c> a</c><00:06:14.459><c> book</c><00:06:14.579><c> on</c><00:06:14.720><c> it,</c><00:06:14.959><c> which</c><00:06:15.100><c> God</c><00:06:15.259><c> willing</c><00:06:15.519><c> Brother</c><00:06:15.800><c> Andrew</c><00:06:16.079><c> and</c>

00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.180
I<00:06:19.360><c> think</c><00:06:19.660><c> at</c><00:06:19.779><c> least</c><00:06:19.980><c> they</c><00:06:20.100><c> were</c><00:06:20.279><c> the</c><00:06:20.360><c> last</c><00:06:20.560><c> time</c><00:06:20.720><c> I</c><00:06:20.839><c> spoke</c><00:06:21.040><c> to</c>

00:06:23.339 --> 00:06:28.779
And<00:06:23.439><c> really</c><00:06:23.660><c> this</c><00:06:23.800><c> is</c><00:06:24.319><c> a</c><00:06:24.439><c> little</c><00:06:24.660><c> part</c><00:06:24.959><c> of</c><00:06:25.220><c> that,</c><00:06:26.860><c> but</c><00:06:27.279><c> quite</c><00:06:27.560><c> the</c><00:06:27.800><c> critical</c><00:06:28.079><c> part,</c><00:06:28.560><c> I</c>

00:06:28.779 --> 00:06:33.839
think,<00:06:29.180><c> because</c><00:06:30.279><c> we</c><00:06:32.100><c> need</c><00:06:32.339><c> not</c><00:06:32.500><c> only</c><00:06:32.779><c> to</c><00:06:33.120><c> understand</c><00:06:33.459><c> it</c><00:06:33.660><c> from</c>

00:06:48.500 --> 00:06:51.600

what<00:06:57.819><c> that</c><00:06:58.120><c> headship</c><00:06:58.860><c> might</c><00:06:59.199><c> look</c><00:06:59.579><c> like.</c>

00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:04.040
And<00:07:00.680><c> if</c><00:07:01.000><c> we</c><00:07:01.300><c> can</c><00:07:01.759><c> realise</c><00:07:02.279><c> that</c><00:07:02.500><c> it's</c><00:07:02.759><c> not</c><00:07:03.120><c> something</c><00:07:03.540><c> to</c><00:07:03.779><c> be</c>

don't<00:08:03.000><c> have</c><00:08:03.139><c> time</c><00:08:03.279><c> for</c><00:08:03.439><c> that</c><00:08:03.579><c> this</c><00:08:03.800><c> week.</c>

00:08:05.779 --> 00:08:09.660
But<00:08:06.379><c> of</c><00:08:06.579><c> course</c><00:08:07.060><c> one</c><00:08:07.399><c> of</c><00:08:07.540><c> the</c><00:08:07.720><c> key</c><00:08:07.899><c> roles</c><00:08:08.240><c> of</c><00:08:08.939><c> a</c><00:08:09.079><c> sister</c><00:08:09.319><c> and</c><00:08:09.519><c> a</c>

00:08:18.620 --> 00:08:23.100
So<00:08:18.980><c> it's</c><00:08:19.519><c> quite</c><00:08:19.939><c> important</c><00:08:20.600><c> then</c><00:08:20.879><c> for</c><00:08:21.120><c> a</c><00:08:21.259><c> wife</c><00:08:21.579><c> to</c><00:08:21.819><c> have</c><00:08:22.000><c> a</c><00:08:22.100><c> good</c><00:08:22.300><c> understanding</c><00:08:22.839><c> of</c>

00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:36.100
Because<00:08:31.720><c> the</c><00:08:31.920><c> chances</c><00:08:32.179><c> are</c><00:08:32.779><c> he</c><00:08:33.100><c> can't</c><00:08:33.919><c> become</c><00:08:34.360><c> that</c><00:08:34.960><c> fully</c>

00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:41.600
Now<00:08:38.980><c> before</c><00:08:39.159><c> we</c><00:08:39.299><c> get</c><00:08:39.500><c> into</c><00:08:39.899><c> all</c><00:08:40.159><c> of</c><00:08:40.419><c> that,</c><00:08:40.779><c> before</c><00:08:41.039><c> we</c><00:08:41.340><c> start</c>

00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:50.259
I<00:08:45.740><c> want</c><00:08:45.899><c> to</c><00:08:46.039><c> just</c><00:08:46.299><c> step</c><00:08:46.539><c> back</c><00:08:46.940><c> a</c><00:08:47.080><c> little</c><00:08:47.360><c> bit</c><00:08:47.700><c> and</c><00:08:48.019><c> ask</c><00:08:48.539><c> again</c><00:08:49.100><c> the</c><00:08:49.440><c> question,</c><00:08:50.220><c> a</c>

little<00:08:50.399><c> bit</c><00:08:50.539><c> like</c><00:08:50.679><c> we</c><00:08:50.840><c> asked</c><00:08:51.059><c> yesterday</c><00:08:51.440><c> afternoon,</c>

00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.460

00:08:55.460 --> 00:09:01.139
And<00:08:55.679><c> I</c><00:08:55.820><c> think</c><00:08:56.519><c> there</c><00:08:56.919><c> is</c><00:08:57.419><c> something</c><00:08:57.860><c> of</c><00:08:58.159><c> a</c><00:08:58.440><c> crisis</c><00:08:59.279><c> around</c><00:09:00.340><c> maleness.</c>

00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:06.960
We're<00:09:01.740><c> no</c><00:09:01.919><c> longer</c><00:09:02.240><c> quite</c><00:09:02.679><c> sure</c><00:09:03.440><c> what</c><00:09:04.559><c> maleness</c><00:09:05.460><c> is</c><00:09:05.879><c> about</c><00:09:06.440><c> and</c>

00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:09.500
what<00:09:07.200><c> it</c><00:09:07.539><c> ought</c><00:09:07.879><c> to</c><00:09:08.559><c> be</c><00:09:09.080><c> about.</c>

00:09:09.580 --> 00:09:12.759
It's<00:09:09.799><c> actually</c><00:09:10.059><c> been</c><00:09:10.340><c> described</c><00:09:10.899><c> by</c><00:09:11.240><c> some</c><00:09:11.759><c> secular</c><00:09:12.179><c> writers</c>

00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:16.299
as<00:09:13.399><c> a</c><00:09:13.659><c> crisis</c><00:09:14.279><c> of</c><00:09:15.059><c> masculinity.</c>

00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:18.899
We<00:09:16.559><c> used</c><00:09:16.799><c> to</c><00:09:16.960><c> know</c><00:09:17.100><c> what</c><00:09:17.360><c> men</c><00:09:17.620><c> were</c><00:09:17.940><c> for.</c>

00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:23.879
And<00:09:19.940><c> men</c><00:09:20.799><c> went</c><00:09:21.120><c> out</c><00:09:21.500><c> and</c><00:09:21.740><c> dug</c><00:09:21.960><c> ditches</c><00:09:22.559><c> and</c><00:09:22.779><c> went</c><00:09:23.019><c> down</c><00:09:23.379><c> mines</c>

00:09:23.879 --> 00:09:27.940

00:09:28.340 --> 00:09:32.000
And<00:09:28.759><c> there</c><00:09:29.059><c> was</c><00:09:29.200><c> an</c><00:09:29.399><c> obvious</c><00:09:29.759><c> point</c><00:09:30.299><c> of</c><00:09:30.639><c> males</c><00:09:30.980><c> there</c><00:09:31.500><c> then,</c>

Well,<00:10:38.419><c> there's</c><00:10:38.700><c> a</c><00:10:38.860><c> certain</c><00:10:39.159><c> kind</c><00:10:39.700><c> of</c><00:10:40.039><c> male</c><00:10:40.220><c> behavior,</c><00:10:41.139><c> a</c><00:10:41.320><c> certain</c><00:10:41.460><c> kind</c>

00:10:41.759 --> 00:10:44.519
of<00:10:41.919><c> antisocial</c><00:10:42.580><c> male</c><00:10:42.840><c> behavior,</c><00:10:43.519><c> isn't</c><00:10:44.080><c> there,</c>

00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:49.019
whereby<00:10:45.179><c> males</c><00:10:45.700><c> express</c><00:10:46.600><c> the</c><00:10:47.340><c> bad</c><00:10:47.720><c> side</c><00:10:48.059><c> of</c><00:10:48.279><c> what</c><00:10:48.620><c> maleness</c>

00:10:49.019 --> 00:10:49.539
can<00:10:49.360><c> be.</c>

00:10:49.740 --> 00:10:55.039
And<00:10:49.740><c> we</c><00:10:50.340><c> think</c><00:10:50.620><c> of</c><00:10:51.299><c> a</c><00:10:51.940><c> drinking</c><00:10:52.299><c> culture,</c><00:10:52.860><c> for</c><00:10:53.120><c> example,</c><00:10:54.679><c> or</c>

00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:59.279
we<00:10:55.460><c> go</c><00:10:55.779><c> and</c><00:10:56.740><c> we</c><00:10:56.980><c> do</c><00:10:57.240><c> paintballing</c><00:10:58.220><c> or</c><00:10:58.460><c> something</c>

00:10:59.279 --> 00:11:03.679
to<00:11:00.080><c> allow</c><00:11:01.139><c> ourselves</c><00:11:01.500><c> to</c><00:11:01.860><c> express</c><00:11:02.379><c> whatever</c><00:11:02.860><c> this</c><00:11:03.279><c> maleness</c>

00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:04.799
is<00:11:04.240><c> within</c><00:11:04.539><c> us.</c>

00:11:04.940 --> 00:11:08.159
So<00:11:05.059><c> perhaps</c><00:11:05.299><c> we're</c><00:11:05.659><c> interested</c><00:11:05.960><c> in</c><00:11:06.320><c> sports,</c><00:11:07.080><c> these</c><00:11:07.360><c> kinds</c><00:11:07.679><c> of</c><00:11:07.899><c> things.</c>

00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:11.899

00:11:11.899 --> 00:11:13.019
with<00:11:12.240><c> them.</c>

00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:15.679
But<00:11:13.679><c> isn't</c><00:11:14.279><c> there</c><00:11:14.440><c> more</c><00:11:14.639><c> to</c><00:11:14.860><c> it</c><00:11:15.059><c> than</c><00:11:15.279><c> that?</c>

00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:21.500
Isn't<00:11:16.340><c> being</c><00:11:16.899><c> a</c><00:11:17.580><c> real</c><00:11:17.820><c> man,</c><00:11:19.039><c> a</c><00:11:19.320><c> spiritual</c><00:11:19.779><c> man,</c><00:11:20.299><c> a</c><00:11:20.440><c> godlike</c><00:11:21.000><c> man,</c>

00:11:21.679 --> 00:11:25.659
about<00:11:22.019><c> more</c><00:11:23.000><c> than</c><00:11:23.679><c> being</c><00:11:24.139><c> able</c><00:11:24.360><c> to</c><00:11:24.500><c> hit</c><00:11:24.620><c> the</c><00:11:24.799><c> baseball</c><00:11:25.240><c> a</c><00:11:25.480><c> long</c>

00:11:28.019 --> 00:11:30.840
And<00:11:28.500><c> of</c><00:11:28.980><c> course,</c><00:11:29.159><c> we</c><00:11:29.320><c> would</c><00:11:29.500><c> all</c><00:11:29.659><c> recognize,</c><00:11:30.419><c> yes,</c><00:11:30.500><c> that</c><00:11:30.659><c> it</c>

00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:31.399
must<00:11:31.100><c> be.</c>

00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.019
But<00:11:31.840><c> I'd</c><00:11:32.120><c> like</c><00:11:32.200><c> to</c><00:11:32.340><c> just</c><00:11:32.539><c> read</c><00:11:32.679><c> you</c><00:11:32.860><c> two</c><00:11:33.120><c> quotations</c><00:11:34.120><c> from</c><00:11:34.639><c> one</c>

00:11:44.700 --> 00:11:47.940
And<00:11:44.940><c> I</c><00:11:45.039><c> think</c><00:11:45.139><c> he</c><00:11:45.279><c> just</c><00:11:45.500><c> captures</c><00:11:45.820><c> the</c><00:11:46.139><c> issue</c><00:11:46.340><c> perhaps</c><00:11:46.620><c> more</c><00:11:46.960><c> poignantly</c><00:11:47.299><c> than</c><00:11:47.679><c> I</c>

And<00:14:21.460><c> I</c><00:14:21.480><c> think</c><00:14:21.600><c> that's</c><00:14:21.879><c> a</c><00:14:22.000><c> wonderfully</c><00:14:22.360><c> encouraging</c><00:14:22.940><c> thing.</c>

00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:32.460

It's<00:14:33.360><c> a</c><00:14:33.580><c> spiritual</c><00:14:34.139><c> role.</c>

00:14:35.179 --> 00:14:39.059

Now,<00:14:48.879><c> before</c><00:14:49.259><c> we</c><00:14:50.740><c> get</c><00:14:51.720><c> into</c><00:14:52.019><c> it,</c>

But<00:15:34.539><c> after</c><00:15:34.799><c> 30</c><00:15:35.100><c> years</c><00:15:35.320><c> of</c><00:15:35.539><c> marriage,</c>

00:15:35.820 --> 00:15:37.919
he<00:15:36.019><c> realized</c><00:15:36.460><c> that</c><00:15:36.740><c> there</c><00:15:36.860><c> had</c><00:15:37.059><c> never</c><00:15:37.279><c> actually</c><00:15:37.659><c> been</c>

00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:39.519
any<00:15:38.159><c> big</c><00:15:38.440><c> decisions.</c>

00:15:40.620 --> 00:15:44.659
And<00:15:40.740><c> so</c><00:15:41.200><c> in</c><00:15:42.279><c> his</c><00:15:42.580><c> marriage,</c><00:15:43.080><c> it</c><00:15:43.120><c> meant</c><00:15:43.360><c> nothing,</c><00:15:44.080><c> did</c><00:15:44.139><c> it?</c>

00:15:44.799 --> 00:15:45.820
Apparently.

00:15:46.379 --> 00:15:48.139
Or<00:15:46.700><c> we</c><00:15:46.820><c> might</c><00:15:46.960><c> take</c><00:15:47.179><c> another</c><00:15:47.440><c> example</c><00:15:47.860><c> and</c><00:15:47.980><c> say,</c>

00:15:48.580 --> 00:15:50.600
well,<00:15:48.679><c> perhaps</c><00:15:49.580><c> male</c><00:15:49.840><c> headship</c><00:15:50.159><c> means</c>

00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.299
that<00:15:51.340><c> I</c><00:15:51.580><c> get</c><00:15:51.740><c> the</c><00:15:51.940><c> remote</c><00:15:52.139><c> control</c><00:15:52.639><c> as</c><00:15:53.240><c> the</c><00:15:53.379><c> husband.</c>

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:57.320
And<00:15:55.279><c> it's</c><00:15:55.919><c> a</c><00:15:56.059><c> nonsense,</c><00:15:56.779><c> isn't</c><00:15:56.960><c> it,</c>

00:15:57.360 --> 00:15:59.820
that<00:15:57.600><c> that</c><00:15:57.980><c> would</c><00:15:58.220><c> be</c><00:15:58.519><c> what</c><00:15:58.740><c> it</c><00:15:58.940><c> would</c><00:15:59.139><c> be</c><00:15:59.360><c> about.</c>

00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:04.299
Well,<00:16:00.480><c> another</c><00:16:00.820><c> nonsense</c><00:16:01.620><c> comes</c><00:16:02.120><c> to</c><00:16:02.379><c> us</c><00:16:02.620><c> in</c><00:16:02.940><c> Esther,</c><00:16:03.200><c> Chapter</c><00:16:03.659><c> 5,</c>

00:16:04.299 --> 00:16:06.840
when<00:16:04.720><c> we</c><00:16:04.919><c> look</c><00:16:05.139><c> at</c><00:16:05.299><c> the</c><00:16:05.500><c> marriage</c><00:16:05.779><c> of</c><00:16:06.039><c> Haman.</c>

00:16:07.580 --> 00:16:11.480
And<00:16:07.779><c> this</c><00:16:07.980><c> is</c><00:16:08.200><c> a</c><00:16:08.299><c> nice</c><00:16:08.480><c> example</c><00:16:09.159><c> because</c><00:16:09.899><c> it</c><00:16:10.240><c> illustrates</c>

00:16:13.860 --> 00:16:17.960
the<00:16:14.419><c> potential</c><00:16:14.980><c> of</c><00:16:16.559><c> male</c><00:16:17.179><c> leadership,</c>

00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:20.500
a<00:16:18.580><c> male</c><00:16:18.779><c> headship,</c><00:16:19.600><c> to</c><00:16:19.779><c> go</c><00:16:20.039><c> wrong.</c>

00:16:20.940 --> 00:16:23.820
And<00:16:21.240><c> we</c><00:16:21.379><c> can</c><00:16:21.639><c> see</c><00:16:21.860><c> just</c><00:16:22.139><c> how</c><00:16:22.399><c> ridiculous</c><00:16:23.100><c> it</c><00:16:23.460><c> is</c>

00:16:23.820 --> 00:16:27.100
and<00:16:24.179><c> how</c><00:16:24.419><c> ugly</c><00:16:24.679><c> it</c><00:16:24.960><c> can</c><00:16:25.240><c> be</c><00:16:25.759><c> when</c><00:16:26.200><c> that</c><00:16:26.539><c> happens.</c>

00:16:27.179 --> 00:16:31.019
And<00:16:27.419><c> I</c><00:16:27.480><c> think</c><00:16:27.740><c> it's</c><00:16:28.440><c> quite</c><00:16:28.700><c> a</c><00:16:28.919><c> good</c><00:16:29.139><c> warning</c><00:16:29.580><c> to</c><00:16:30.120><c> us.</c>

00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:36.840
So<00:16:31.759><c> Esther</c><00:16:32.100><c> 5,</c><00:16:33.059><c> and</c><00:16:33.659><c> we</c><00:16:34.080><c> don't</c><00:16:34.379><c> know</c><00:16:34.580><c> much</c><00:16:34.980><c> about</c><00:16:35.960><c> Haman's</c><00:16:36.500><c> wife</c>

00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:40.259
other<00:16:37.240><c> than</c><00:16:37.679><c> her</c><00:16:38.120><c> name,</c><00:16:39.500><c> Zeresh,</c>

00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:43.539
but<00:16:40.620><c> we</c><00:16:40.899><c> see</c><00:16:41.039><c> this</c><00:16:41.220><c> little</c><00:16:41.580><c> cameo</c><00:16:42.139><c> of</c><00:16:42.440><c> Haman</c><00:16:42.799><c> coming</c><00:16:43.139><c> home</c>

00:16:43.539 --> 00:16:46.700
after<00:16:44.139><c> a</c><00:16:44.379><c> hard</c><00:16:44.559><c> day's</c><00:16:44.980><c> work</c><00:16:45.399><c> in</c><00:16:45.840><c> court.</c>

00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:51.700
And<00:16:48.360><c> there</c><00:16:49.159><c> he</c><00:16:49.360><c> is</c><00:16:49.700><c> in</c><00:16:50.299><c> verse</c><00:16:50.899><c> 10,</c>

00:16:51.940 --> 00:16:55.600
refraining<00:16:52.320><c> himself</c><00:16:52.960><c> from</c><00:16:53.779><c> Mordechai's</c><00:16:55.220><c> rudeness</c>

00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:56.980
as<00:16:55.759><c> he</c><00:16:56.019><c> perceived</c><00:16:56.320><c> it.</c>

00:16:56.980 --> 00:16:59.159
And<00:16:57.559><c> when</c><00:16:57.840><c> he</c><00:16:58.059><c> came</c><00:16:58.220><c> home,</c>

00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:02.580
he<00:16:59.320><c> sent</c><00:16:59.639><c> and</c><00:17:00.000><c> called</c><00:17:00.159><c> for</c><00:17:00.360><c> his</c><00:17:00.580><c> friends</c><00:17:00.940><c> and</c><00:17:01.480><c> Zeresh</c><00:17:01.899><c> his</c><00:17:02.159><c> wife.</c>

00:17:03.019 --> 00:17:05.200
So<00:17:03.399><c> you</c><00:17:03.620><c> can</c><00:17:03.759><c> imagine</c><00:17:04.000><c> him</c><00:17:04.200><c> sitting</c><00:17:04.380><c> down</c><00:17:04.700><c> in</c><00:17:04.900><c> a</c><00:17:05.059><c> chair.</c>

00:17:05.299 --> 00:17:07.420
I<00:17:05.339><c> don't</c><00:17:05.500><c> imagine</c><00:17:05.740><c> it</c><00:17:05.859><c> would</c><00:17:05.960><c> have</c><00:17:06.039><c> been</c><00:17:06.119><c> a</c><00:17:06.359><c> small</c><00:17:06.579><c> chair,</c><00:17:07.019><c> do</c><00:17:07.079><c> you?</c>

00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:09.500
Perhaps<00:17:07.859><c> it</c><00:17:07.980><c> was</c><00:17:08.160><c> slightly</c><00:17:08.460><c> raised</c><00:17:08.700><c> up</c><00:17:08.940><c> above</c><00:17:09.160><c> everyone</c>

00:17:09.500 --> 00:17:10.160
else's<00:17:09.960><c> chair.</c>

00:17:10.339 --> 00:17:13.460
That<00:17:10.579><c> would</c><00:17:10.819><c> certainly</c><00:17:11.200><c> fit</c><00:17:11.440><c> the</c><00:17:11.680><c> picture</c><00:17:12.059><c> of</c><00:17:12.640><c> the</c><00:17:12.859><c> kind</c><00:17:13.119><c> of</c><00:17:13.279><c> man</c>

00:17:13.460 --> 00:17:14.460
that<00:17:13.619><c> we're</c><00:17:13.779><c> dealing</c><00:17:14.019><c> with</c><00:17:14.299><c> here.</c>

00:17:14.539 --> 00:17:16.740
And<00:17:14.779><c> he</c><00:17:15.000><c> summons</c><00:17:15.299><c> his</c><00:17:15.559><c> wife</c><00:17:15.900><c> and</c><00:17:16.220><c> his</c><00:17:16.500><c> friends,</c>

00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:18.539
and<00:17:16.900><c> they</c><00:17:17.099><c> sort</c><00:17:17.200><c> of</c><00:17:17.480><c> assemble</c><00:17:17.900><c> before</c><00:17:18.339><c> him.</c>

00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:20.960
And<00:17:18.880><c> it's</c><00:17:19.059><c> rather</c><00:17:19.319><c> like,</c><00:17:19.839><c> it's</c><00:17:20.039><c> a</c><00:17:20.180><c> little</c><00:17:20.279><c> bit</c><00:17:20.480><c> like</c><00:17:20.599><c> the</c><00:17:20.839><c> scene</c>

00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:23.420
that<00:17:21.099><c> we've</c><00:17:21.279><c> got</c><00:17:21.359><c> of</c><00:17:21.619><c> Lamech</c><00:17:21.900><c> back</c><00:17:22.119><c> in</c><00:17:22.319><c> Genesis,</c><00:17:22.700><c> Chapter</c><00:17:23.079><c> 4,</c>

00:17:23.420 --> 00:17:25.880
where<00:17:23.680><c> he</c><00:17:24.099><c> summons</c><00:17:24.400><c> his</c><00:17:24.660><c> two</c><00:17:24.880><c> wives</c><00:17:25.180><c> to</c><00:17:25.380><c> come</c><00:17:25.519><c> and</c><00:17:25.720><c> listen</c>

00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:27.579
to<00:17:26.079><c> the</c><00:17:26.200><c> song</c><00:17:26.440><c> that</c><00:17:26.619><c> he's</c><00:17:26.859><c> written,</c>

00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:31.619
and<00:17:28.079><c> what</c><00:17:29.000><c> a</c><00:17:29.140><c> pathetic</c><00:17:29.599><c> and</c><00:17:30.039><c> really</c><00:17:30.319><c> disgusting</c><00:17:30.900><c> song</c><00:17:31.200><c> it</c><00:17:31.380><c> is.</c>

00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:35.759
But<00:17:32.200><c> anyway,</c><00:17:32.420><c> let's</c><00:17:32.700><c> continue</c><00:17:34.059><c> with</c><00:17:34.319><c> Haman</c><00:17:34.599><c> here.</c>

00:17:36.180 --> 00:17:41.220
So<00:17:36.339><c> having</c><00:17:36.519><c> assembled</c><00:17:37.279><c> his</c><00:17:40.079><c> friends,</c>

00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:44.039
and<00:17:41.579><c> we</c><00:17:41.859><c> wonder</c><00:17:42.059><c> just</c><00:17:42.299><c> what</c><00:17:42.480><c> kind</c><00:17:42.680><c> of</c><00:17:42.799><c> friends</c><00:17:42.960><c> these</c><00:17:43.259><c> were,</c><00:17:43.599><c> really,</c>

00:17:44.220 --> 00:17:45.359
and<00:17:44.579><c> his</c><00:17:44.880><c> wife,</c>

00:17:45.819 --> 00:17:49.019
Haman<00:17:46.099><c> tells</c><00:17:46.460><c> them</c><00:17:46.680><c> in</c><00:17:46.839><c> verse</c><00:17:47.119><c> 11</c><00:17:47.480><c> of</c><00:17:47.680><c> the</c><00:17:47.920><c> glory</c><00:17:48.279><c> of</c><00:17:48.460><c> his</c><00:17:48.619><c> riches</c>

00:17:49.019 --> 00:17:50.819

00:17:50.819 --> 00:17:53.420
and<00:17:51.220><c> of</c><00:17:51.380><c> all</c><00:17:51.559><c> the</c><00:17:51.740><c> things</c><00:17:51.940><c> wherein</c><00:17:52.200><c> the</c><00:17:52.440><c> king</c><00:17:52.579><c> had</c><00:17:52.839><c> promoted</c><00:17:53.140><c> him</c>

00:17:53.420 --> 00:17:55.400
and<00:17:53.700><c> how</c><00:17:53.819><c> he'd</c><00:17:54.119><c> advanced</c><00:17:54.400><c> him</c><00:17:54.680><c> above</c><00:17:54.880><c> the</c><00:17:55.119><c> princes</c>

00:17:56.900 --> 00:17:59.319

00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.980

00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:09.500

00:24:09.500 --> 00:24:12.700

00:30:51.380 --> 00:30:53.420
Therefore,<00:30:51.579><c> as</c><00:30:51.859><c> the</c><00:30:52.039><c> church</c><00:30:52.220><c> is</c><00:30:52.420><c> subject</c><00:30:52.660><c> unto</c><00:30:52.900><c> Christ,</c>

Well,<00:31:56.180><c> it</c><00:31:56.240><c> wouldn't</c><00:31:56.420><c> be</c><00:31:56.599><c> one</c><00:31:56.740><c> like</c><00:31:57.079><c> Haman's,</c><00:31:57.640><c> would</c><00:31:57.700><c> it?</c>

So<00:33:19.619><c> that's</c><00:33:19.839><c> one</c><00:33:19.980><c> aspect,</c><00:33:20.660><c> leading</c><00:33:20.700><c> an</c><00:33:20.940><c> example.</c>

00:33:22.099 --> 00:33:26.339
Leading<00:33:22.619><c> in</c><00:33:23.299><c> forgiveness</c><00:33:24.039><c> and</c><00:33:24.940><c> reconciliation.</c>

00:33:26.500 --> 00:33:29.160
What<00:33:26.799><c> was</c><00:33:27.099><c> it</c><00:33:27.339><c> that</c><00:33:27.599><c> Christ's</c><00:33:28.160><c> work</c><00:33:28.319><c> was</c><00:33:28.559><c> all</c><00:33:28.819><c> about?</c>

00:33:29.200 --> 00:33:32.160
Well,<00:33:29.420><c> he</c><00:33:29.619><c> came,</c><00:33:29.960><c> didn't</c><00:33:30.220><c> he,</c><00:33:30.599><c> to</c><00:33:30.859><c> bring</c><00:33:31.200><c> reconciliation,</c>

00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:36.839
to<00:33:32.819><c> make</c><00:33:33.140><c> a</c><00:33:33.440><c> way</c><00:33:33.740><c> so</c><00:33:34.160><c> that</c><00:33:35.119><c> human</c><00:33:35.440><c> beings</c><00:33:35.920><c> could</c><00:33:36.180><c> come</c><00:33:36.500><c> back</c>

00:33:36.839 --> 00:33:39.059
into<00:33:37.140><c> fellowship</c><00:33:37.640><c> with</c><00:33:38.079><c> God</c><00:33:38.480><c> again.</c>

00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:41.660
So<00:33:39.539><c> that</c><00:33:39.759><c> a</c><00:33:39.900><c> family</c><00:33:40.140><c> relationship</c><00:33:40.660><c> which</c><00:33:40.880><c> had</c><00:33:41.039><c> been</c><00:33:41.259><c> broken</c>

00:33:41.660 --> 00:33:44.660
because<00:33:42.019><c> of</c><00:33:42.359><c> sin</c><00:33:42.619><c> could</c><00:33:43.079><c> be</c><00:33:43.400><c> mended</c><00:33:44.099><c> again</c>

00:33:44.660 --> 00:33:49.279
and<00:33:45.079><c> so</c><00:33:45.259><c> that</c><00:33:45.519><c> God</c><00:33:45.839><c> and</c><00:33:46.339><c> his</c><00:33:46.579><c> people</c><00:33:47.240><c> could</c><00:33:47.619><c> be</c><00:33:48.299><c> united.</c>

00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:52.619
Christ's<00:33:49.839><c> work</c><00:33:50.000><c> was</c><00:33:50.240><c> all</c><00:33:50.599><c> about</c><00:33:51.480><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:54.000
And<00:33:52.900><c> so</c><00:33:53.019><c> what</c><00:33:53.180><c> does</c><00:33:53.380><c> that</c><00:33:53.700><c> mean?</c>

00:33:54.240 --> 00:33:58.259
That<00:33:54.500><c> means</c><00:33:54.900><c> then</c><00:33:55.279><c> that</c><00:33:55.640><c> we</c><00:33:55.819><c> should</c><00:33:56.079><c> be</c><00:33:56.380><c> leaders</c><00:33:56.740><c> in</c><00:33:57.059><c> forgiveness,</c><00:33:57.740><c> shouldn't</c><00:33:57.920><c> we?</c>

00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:00.579
If<00:33:58.519><c> that's</c><00:33:59.119><c> what</c><00:33:59.440><c> Christ</c><00:33:59.980><c> was.</c>

00:34:00.579 --> 00:34:04.480
That<00:34:01.180><c> we</c><00:34:01.460><c> should</c><00:34:02.299><c> take</c><00:34:03.119><c> the</c><00:34:03.380><c> initiative.</c>

00:34:04.779 --> 00:34:08.860
When<00:34:04.960><c> you</c><00:34:05.099><c> get</c><00:34:05.339><c> these</c><00:34:06.319><c> standoffs</c><00:34:07.000><c> that</c><00:34:07.180><c> sometimes</c><00:34:07.660><c> happen</c><00:34:08.059><c> in</c><00:34:08.480><c> marriage,</c>

00:34:09.119 --> 00:34:14.539
when<00:34:09.340><c> communication</c><00:34:10.099><c> breaks</c><00:34:10.719><c> down</c><00:34:11.280><c> and</c><00:34:11.599><c> we</c><00:34:12.179><c> can</c><00:34:12.420><c> retreat</c><00:34:12.900><c> into</c><00:34:13.239><c> our</c><00:34:13.559><c> corners,</c>

00:34:14.739 --> 00:34:17.139
that<00:34:14.980><c> we</c><00:34:15.239><c> should</c><00:34:15.420><c> be</c><00:34:15.679><c> looking</c><00:34:15.880><c> for</c><00:34:16.079><c> the</c><00:34:16.239><c> opportunity</c><00:34:16.780><c> to</c><00:34:17.019><c> be</c>

00:34:17.139 --> 00:34:18.260
the<00:34:17.400><c> first</c><00:34:17.659><c> one</c>

00:34:18.260 --> 00:34:25.420
to<00:34:19.159><c> bring</c><00:34:19.420><c> about</c><00:34:19.860><c> reconciliation</c><00:34:20.860><c> because</c><00:34:21.900><c> that's</c><00:34:22.579><c> what</c><00:34:22.840><c> Christ</c><00:34:23.840><c> would</c><00:34:24.300><c> do.</c>

00:34:25.500 --> 00:34:28.860
That<00:34:25.860><c> we</c><00:34:26.179><c> be</c><00:34:26.360><c> the</c><00:34:26.579><c> one</c><00:34:26.900><c> to</c><00:34:27.420><c> get</c><00:34:27.739><c> over</c><00:34:28.159><c> our</c><00:34:28.539><c> ego.</c>

00:34:28.860 --> 00:34:30.480
It's<00:34:29.199><c> not</c><00:34:29.300><c> easy</c><00:34:29.519><c> to</c><00:34:29.719><c> say</c><00:34:29.900><c> sorry,</c><00:34:30.300><c> is</c><00:34:30.300><c> it?</c>

00:34:30.500 --> 00:34:33.579
And<00:34:30.639><c> it's</c><00:34:30.739><c> not</c><00:34:30.900><c> easy</c><00:34:31.119><c> to</c><00:34:31.300><c> say</c><00:34:31.420><c> sorry</c><00:34:31.659><c> whether</c><00:34:31.900><c> you're</c><00:34:32.159><c> a</c><00:34:32.239><c> man</c><00:34:32.380><c> or</c><00:34:32.559><c> a</c><00:34:32.760><c> woman.</c>

00:34:35.420 --> 00:34:39.940
But<00:34:35.900><c> if</c><00:34:36.380><c> we</c><00:34:36.639><c> can</c><00:34:36.840><c> show</c><00:34:37.079><c> leadership</c><00:34:37.659><c> in</c><00:34:38.039><c> this,</c><00:34:39.300><c> how</c><00:34:39.539><c> wonderful</c>

00:34:39.940 --> 00:34:40.980
that<00:34:40.239><c> would</c><00:34:40.480><c> be.</c>

00:34:41.119 --> 00:34:43.780
That<00:34:41.260><c> we</c><00:34:41.420><c> would</c><00:34:41.579><c> be</c><00:34:41.760><c> the</c><00:34:42.000><c> first</c><00:34:42.500><c> to</c><00:34:42.900><c> come</c><00:34:43.219><c> back</c>

00:34:43.780 --> 00:34:47.039
and<00:34:44.239><c> to</c><00:34:44.559><c> admit</c><00:34:45.019><c> what</c><00:34:45.480><c> we</c><00:34:45.719><c> had</c><00:34:45.860><c> done</c><00:34:46.139><c> was</c><00:34:46.699><c> wrong,</c>

00:34:47.300 --> 00:34:50.880
to<00:34:47.500><c> say</c><00:34:47.739><c> sorry</c><00:34:48.179><c> and</c><00:34:48.679><c> to</c><00:34:48.960><c> look</c><00:34:49.199><c> for</c><00:34:49.579><c> reconciliation.</c>

00:34:54.579 --> 00:34:57.280
Now<00:34:54.780><c> that's</c><00:34:55.000><c> an</c><00:34:55.219><c> interesting</c><00:34:55.599><c> one</c><00:34:55.880><c> and</c><00:34:56.039><c> it</c><00:34:56.340><c> builds,</c><00:34:56.659><c> of</c><00:34:56.960><c> course,</c>

00:34:57.280 --> 00:34:59.820

00:35:00.099 --> 00:35:02.659
It<00:35:00.280><c> builds</c><00:35:00.579><c> on</c><00:35:00.800><c> the</c><00:35:01.000><c> pattern</c><00:35:01.179><c> of</c><00:35:01.440><c> Adam</c><00:35:01.699><c> receiving</c><00:35:02.219><c> the</c><00:35:02.440><c> word</c>

of<00:35:02.880><c> God</c>

00:35:03.099 --> 00:35:04.639
and<00:35:03.280><c> then</c><00:35:03.559><c> sharing</c><00:35:03.739><c> it</c><00:35:03.900><c> with</c><00:35:04.059><c> his</c><00:35:04.300><c> family.</c>

00:35:04.980 --> 00:35:08.599
It<00:35:05.179><c> builds</c><00:35:05.639><c> on</c><00:35:06.280><c> the</c><00:35:06.619><c> role</c><00:35:06.780><c> of</c><00:35:06.980><c> the</c><00:35:07.219><c> priests</c><00:35:07.579><c> and</c><00:35:07.880><c> the</c><00:35:08.079><c> Levites</c>

And<00:35:12.420><c> if</c><00:35:12.900><c> we</c><00:35:13.159><c> want</c><00:35:13.340><c> to</c><00:35:14.500><c> sort</c><00:35:14.500><c> of</c><00:35:15.639><c> put</c><00:35:16.199><c> that</c><00:35:16.440><c> in</c><00:35:16.659><c> modern</c><00:35:16.920><c> words,</c>

00:35:18.719 --> 00:35:22.519
I<00:35:19.119><c> think</c><00:35:19.360><c> a</c><00:35:19.559><c> way</c><00:35:19.780><c> of,</c><00:35:20.380><c> in</c><00:35:20.440><c> an</c><00:35:20.679><c> image,</c><00:35:21.139><c> saying</c><00:35:21.179><c> what</c><00:35:21.440><c> does</c><00:35:21.679><c> it</c><00:35:21.880><c> mean</c><00:35:22.079><c> would</c><00:35:22.260><c> be</c>

00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:23.320
to<00:35:22.760><c> say</c><00:35:22.940><c> that,</c>

00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:28.880
let's<00:35:23.639><c> suppose</c><00:35:23.960><c> in</c><00:35:24.139><c> my</c><00:35:24.440><c> family</c><00:35:25.059><c> the</c><00:35:27.039><c> Bible</c><00:35:27.360><c> is</c><00:35:27.719><c> not</c><00:35:28.000><c> read</c><00:35:28.360><c> on</c><00:35:28.719><c> a</c>

00:35:39.920 --> 00:35:43.159

00:35:43.539 --> 00:35:46.760
why<00:35:43.760><c> is</c><00:35:43.980><c> that</c><00:35:44.179><c> not</c><00:35:44.360><c> the</c><00:35:44.559><c> case</c><00:35:45.019><c> in</c><00:35:45.480><c> your</c><00:35:45.780><c> family?</c>

So<00:38:37.199><c> that</c><00:38:37.760><c> whole</c><00:38:37.920><c> passage,</c><00:38:38.360><c> verse</c><00:38:38.440><c> 1</c><00:38:38.659><c> to</c><00:38:38.719><c> 8,</c><00:38:38.880><c> is</c><00:38:39.139><c> bracketed</c><00:38:39.739><c> by</c>

00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:44.880
And<00:38:42.179><c> verse</c><00:38:42.400><c> 8</c><00:38:42.659><c> makes</c><00:38:42.940><c> it</c><00:38:43.320><c> clear</c><00:38:43.579><c> that</c><00:38:43.820><c> this</c><00:38:44.039><c> is</c><00:38:44.239><c> a</c><00:38:44.400><c> particular</c>

00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:49.820
And,<00:38:47.679><c> you</c><00:38:47.800><c> know,</c><00:38:47.900><c> of</c><00:38:48.139><c> course,</c><00:38:48.340><c> that's</c><00:38:48.539><c> how</c><00:38:48.719><c> it</c><00:38:48.820><c> is</c><00:38:48.960><c> in</c><00:38:49.119><c> Ecclesia</c><00:38:49.440><c> life.</c>

00:38:49.820 --> 00:38:53.159
But<00:38:50.199><c> this</c><00:38:50.440><c> would</c><00:38:51.280><c> be</c><00:38:51.659><c> the</c><00:38:51.880><c> case</c><00:38:52.099><c> where</c><00:38:52.300><c> it's</c><00:38:52.500><c> possible</c><00:38:52.860><c> to</c><00:38:53.000><c> be</c>

00:38:53.159 --> 00:38:57.420

00:38:57.719 --> 00:39:01.219
And<00:38:58.039><c> again,</c><00:38:58.699><c> this</c><00:38:59.480><c> isn't</c><00:38:59.719><c> something</c><00:39:00.059><c> that</c><00:39:00.300><c> comes</c><00:39:00.579><c> naturally.</c>

00:39:01.539 --> 00:39:06.199
It<00:39:01.659><c> may</c><00:39:01.940><c> well</c><00:39:02.199><c> be</c><00:39:02.440><c> the</c><00:39:02.639><c> case</c><00:39:03.000><c> that</c><00:39:04.239><c> a</c><00:39:04.699><c> woman</c><00:39:05.059><c> finds</c><00:39:05.519><c> it</c><00:39:05.800><c> easier</c>

00:39:15.900 --> 00:39:19.480
And<00:39:16.059><c> a</c><00:39:16.139><c> man</c><00:39:16.500><c> finds</c><00:39:16.739><c> it</c><00:39:17.019><c> difficult</c><00:39:17.380><c> to</c><00:39:17.659><c> be</c><00:39:18.139><c> articulate</c><00:39:18.699><c> and</c><00:39:19.239><c> to</c>

do<00:39:19.679><c> this.</c>

00:39:20.460 --> 00:39:24.440
And<00:39:20.719><c> yet</c><00:39:20.960><c> the</c><00:39:21.239><c> scriptures</c><00:39:21.780><c> ask</c><00:39:22.519><c> him</c><00:39:22.780><c> to</c><00:39:23.019><c> take</c><00:39:23.280><c> leadership</c><00:39:23.860><c> in</c>

this<00:39:24.800><c> area.</c>

00:39:26.980 --> 00:39:32.099
So<00:39:27.480><c> that's</c><00:39:27.739><c> going</c><00:39:27.840><c> to</c><00:39:28.039><c> require</c><00:39:28.320><c> preparation</c><00:39:29.139><c> and</c><00:39:31.440><c> dedication.</c>

00:39:32.420 --> 00:39:36.400
And<00:39:32.579><c> what</c><00:39:32.719><c> about</c><00:39:32.920><c> worship,</c><00:39:33.699><c> too?</c><00:39:33.860><c> What</c><00:39:34.079><c> about</c><00:39:34.500><c> the</c><00:39:35.659><c> praise</c><00:39:36.099><c> of</c>

00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:40.340
Now,<00:39:38.219><c> it</c><00:39:38.360><c> may</c><00:39:38.519><c> be</c><00:39:38.659><c> that</c><00:39:38.760><c> we're</c><00:39:38.960><c> not</c><00:39:39.179><c> musical,</c><00:39:39.699><c> but,</c><00:39:40.059><c> you</c><00:39:40.280><c> know,</c>

00:39:56.599 --> 00:40:01.679

But<00:43:31.920><c> then</c><00:43:32.219><c> the</c><00:43:32.639><c> passage</c><00:43:32.960><c> goes</c><00:43:33.260><c> on</c><00:43:33.639><c> to</c><00:43:33.940><c> say,</c><00:43:34.199><c> honoring</c><00:43:34.639><c> them</c><00:43:35.139><c> as</c>

00:43:41.860 --> 00:43:46.079
So<00:43:42.480><c> what</c><00:43:42.760><c> we're</c><00:43:42.960><c> talking</c><00:43:43.139><c> about</c><00:43:43.360><c> here</c><00:43:43.619><c> then</c><00:43:43.860><c> are</c><00:43:44.179><c> acts</c><00:43:44.519><c> of</c><00:43:44.820><c> tenderness</c><00:43:45.300><c> and</c>

consideration,<00:43:47.260><c> aren't</c><00:43:47.400><c> we?</c>

00:43:47.619 --> 00:43:52.000

00:43:52.440 --> 00:43:57.320
Now,<00:43:53.079><c> there's</c><00:43:53.420><c> an</c><00:43:53.639><c> interesting</c><00:43:53.980><c> contrast</c><00:43:54.739><c> there</c><00:43:55.000><c> then,</c><00:43:55.179><c> isn't</c><00:43:55.340><c> there,</c><00:43:56.000><c> between</c><00:43:56.380><c> the</c>

00:43:59.380 --> 00:44:02.739
Here<00:43:59.739><c> is</c><00:43:59.980><c> something</c><00:44:00.300><c> weaker.</c><00:44:01.019><c> What</c><00:44:01.280><c> can</c><00:44:01.500><c> I</c><00:44:01.739><c> do</c><00:44:01.880><c> to</c><00:44:02.300><c> exploit</c>

00:44:03.659 --> 00:44:07.079
And<00:44:03.840><c> of</c><00:44:03.940><c> course,</c><00:44:04.460><c> there's</c><00:44:04.820><c> a</c><00:44:04.920><c> whole</c><00:44:05.119><c> history</c><00:44:05.739><c> of</c><00:44:06.280><c> the</c><00:44:06.659><c> abuse</c>

00:44:11.179 --> 00:44:16.780
And<00:44:11.539><c> where</c><00:44:11.659><c> we</c><00:44:11.940><c> see</c><00:44:12.280><c> the</c><00:44:12.900><c> worst</c><00:44:13.260><c> things</c><00:44:14.260><c> of</c><00:44:15.780><c> human</c><00:44:16.079><c> nature</c><00:44:16.500><c> and</c>

00:44:26.179 --> 00:44:32.940
If<00:44:26.880><c> it</c><00:44:27.199><c> is</c><00:44:27.440><c> true</c><00:44:27.760><c> that</c><00:44:28.860><c> our</c><00:44:29.260><c> wife</c><00:44:29.480><c> is</c><00:44:29.920><c> physically</c><00:44:30.400><c> weaker,</c><00:44:32.420><c> then</c><00:44:32.639><c> we</c>

00:44:32.940 --> 00:44:36.800
should<00:44:33.119><c> give</c><00:44:33.340><c> the</c><00:44:33.500><c> more</c><00:44:33.699><c> honor</c><00:44:34.000><c> to</c><00:44:34.300><c> her</c><00:44:34.800><c> for</c><00:44:35.719><c> that,</c><00:44:36.440><c> is</c><00:44:36.599><c> what</c>

00:44:38.960 --> 00:44:44.059
And<00:44:38.980><c> so</c><00:44:39.219><c> acts</c><00:44:39.519><c> of</c><00:44:39.880><c> those</c><00:44:40.260><c> acts</c><00:44:41.039><c> of</c><00:44:41.280><c> chivalry</c><00:44:41.659><c> and</c><00:44:41.980><c> kindness</c><00:44:42.420><c> like</c><00:44:43.000><c> that</c><00:44:43.420><c> are</c><00:44:43.840><c> going</c><00:44:43.940><c> to</c>

00:44:51.860 --> 00:44:56.099

00:44:57.280 --> 00:45:00.719
You<00:44:57.920><c> can't</c><00:44:58.300><c> meet</c><00:44:58.659><c> someone's</c><00:44:59.320><c> needs</c><00:44:59.639><c> unless</c><00:44:59.880><c> you</c><00:45:00.119><c> understand</c>

00:45:01.860 --> 00:45:04.860
If<00:45:01.980><c> you</c><00:45:02.079><c> don't</c><00:45:02.340><c> know</c><00:45:02.840><c> what</c><00:45:03.139><c> your</c><00:45:03.360><c> partner's</c><00:45:03.940><c> needs</c><00:45:04.099><c> are,</c><00:45:04.679><c> how</c>

00:45:06.679 --> 00:45:11.340
And<00:45:06.940><c> so</c><00:45:07.059><c> that's</c><00:45:07.360><c> going</c><00:45:07.500><c> to</c><00:45:07.780><c> require</c><00:45:08.260><c> effort</c><00:45:08.760><c> on</c><00:45:09.260><c> our</c><00:45:09.559><c> part,</c><00:45:10.519><c> just</c><00:45:10.940><c> as</c>

Peter<00:45:11.860><c> exhorts</c><00:45:12.619><c> us</c><00:45:12.940><c> there.</c>

00:45:13.480 --> 00:45:17.659
You<00:45:13.780><c> husbands</c><00:45:14.360><c> should</c><00:45:14.960><c> try</c><00:45:15.360><c> to</c><00:45:15.739><c> understand</c><00:45:16.320><c> the</c><00:45:16.860><c> wives</c><00:45:17.199><c> you</c>

00:45:18.179 --> 00:45:21.639
And<00:45:18.780><c> there's</c><00:45:19.000><c> three</c><00:45:19.239><c> final</c><00:45:19.500><c> aspects</c><00:45:19.900><c> of</c><00:45:20.099><c> this</c><00:45:20.320><c> leadership</c><00:45:20.739><c> that</c><00:45:20.980><c> I'd</c><00:45:21.239><c> like</c><00:45:21.340><c> to</c>

00:45:26.119 --> 00:45:33.800
Because<00:45:26.500><c> Paul</c><00:45:26.960><c> says,</c><00:45:27.800><c> doesn't</c><00:45:28.059><c> he,</c><00:45:28.820><c> that</c><00:45:29.099><c> we</c><00:45:29.360><c> should</c><00:45:29.639><c> seek</c><00:45:30.099><c> above</c><00:45:30.460><c> all</c><00:45:30.960><c> things</c><00:45:31.380><c> the</c><00:45:31.920><c> salvation</c><00:45:32.699><c> of</c>

00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:35.920
And<00:45:34.800><c> why</c><00:45:35.019><c> would</c><00:45:35.139><c> he</c><00:45:35.360><c> say</c><00:45:35.599><c> that?</c>

00:45:39.699 --> 00:45:43.900
exactly<00:45:40.639><c> what</c><00:45:41.039><c> our</c><00:45:41.300><c> Lord</c><00:45:41.460><c> Jesus</c><00:45:41.880><c> Christ's</c><00:45:42.539><c> work</c><00:45:42.960><c> was</c><00:45:43.440><c> about.</c>

So<00:45:48.579><c> if</c><00:45:48.719><c> that's</c><00:45:49.039><c> what</c><00:45:49.460><c> he</c><00:45:50.099><c> was</c><00:45:50.559><c> and</c><00:45:50.940><c> is,</c><00:45:51.639><c> that's</c><00:45:52.039><c> what</c><00:45:52.420><c> we</c><00:45:52.960><c> should</c><00:45:53.199><c> be.</c>

00:45:53.719 --> 00:45:56.159

And<00:48:44.320><c> to</c><00:48:44.539><c> think</c><00:48:44.719><c> and</c><00:48:44.880><c> then</c><00:48:45.019><c> to</c><00:48:45.300><c> discuss</c><00:48:45.599><c> with</c><00:48:45.840><c> our</c><00:48:46.099><c> wives</c><00:48:46.460><c> about</c>

00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:49.940
what<00:48:47.320><c> the</c><00:48:47.579><c> changes</c><00:48:47.880><c> might</c><00:48:48.139><c> be</c><00:48:48.420><c> that</c><00:48:48.559><c> we</c><00:48:48.760><c> might</c><00:48:48.940><c> need</c><00:48:49.119><c> to</c><00:48:49.500><c> implement</c>

00:48:49.940 --> 00:48:54.219
in<00:48:50.340><c> order</c><00:48:50.659><c> for</c><00:48:50.940><c> us</c><00:48:51.219><c> to</c><00:48:51.840><c> chart</c><00:48:52.179><c> that</c><00:48:52.679><c> course</c><00:48:53.059><c> better.</c>

00:48:54.460 --> 00:48:58.420
And<00:48:54.599><c> that</c><00:48:54.719><c> then</c><00:48:54.920><c> brings</c><00:48:55.099><c> us</c><00:48:55.320><c> to</c><00:48:55.420><c> the</c><00:48:55.659><c> final</c><00:48:55.960><c> one</c><00:48:56.199><c> of</c><00:48:56.340><c> these</c><00:48:56.619><c> aspects</c><00:48:57.019><c> of</c><00:48:57.320><c> leadership,</c>

00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:04.860
which<00:49:00.360><c> is</c><00:49:00.920><c> really</c><00:49:01.780><c> perhaps</c><00:49:03.699><c> the</c><00:49:03.880><c> most</c><00:49:04.139><c> important</c><00:49:04.500><c> of</c><00:49:04.719><c> all.</c>

00:49:04.900 --> 00:49:07.139
I<00:49:04.960><c> mean,</c><00:49:05.059><c> it</c><00:49:05.380><c> embraces</c><00:49:05.840><c> many</c><00:49:06.159><c> of</c><00:49:06.360><c> the</c><00:49:06.480><c> ones</c><00:49:06.719><c> that</c><00:49:06.900><c> we've</c>

00:49:07.139 --> 00:49:08.380
already<00:49:07.460><c> talked</c><00:49:07.800><c> about.</c>

00:49:08.780 --> 00:49:12.460
And<00:49:09.340><c> it's</c><00:49:11.400><c> right</c><00:49:11.659><c> there</c><00:49:11.840><c> in</c><00:49:11.960><c> Ephesians</c><00:49:12.239><c> 5.</c>

00:49:12.460 --> 00:49:14.380
So<00:49:12.460><c> let's</c><00:49:12.639><c> have</c><00:49:12.800><c> a</c><00:49:12.860><c> look</c><00:49:13.000><c> at</c><00:49:13.119><c> it,</c><00:49:13.320><c> because</c><00:49:13.440><c> I</c><00:49:13.519><c> think</c><00:49:13.699><c> this</c><00:49:14.199><c> is</c>

00:49:14.380 --> 00:49:16.039
quite<00:49:14.619><c> striking.</c>

00:49:36.420 --> 00:49:39.159
So<00:49:36.739><c> we're</c><00:49:36.880><c> coming</c><00:49:37.000><c> at</c><00:49:37.139><c> verse</c><00:49:37.300><c> 25</c><00:49:38.000><c> again.</c>

00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:42.880
Husbands,<00:49:40.139><c> love</c><00:49:40.380><c> your</c><00:49:40.639><c> wives,</c><00:49:41.519><c> even</c><00:49:41.739><c> as</c><00:49:41.980><c> Christ</c><00:49:42.300><c> also</c><00:49:42.739><c> loved</c>

00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:45.280
the<00:49:43.159><c> church</c><00:49:43.500><c> and</c><00:49:43.920><c> gave</c><00:49:44.199><c> himself</c><00:49:44.639><c> for</c><00:49:45.000><c> it.</c>

00:49:45.539 --> 00:49:48.519
So<00:49:45.780><c> there</c><00:49:45.920><c> it</c><00:49:46.079><c> is,</c><00:49:46.519><c> the</c><00:49:46.820><c> first</c><00:49:47.219><c> time</c><00:49:47.639><c> then</c><00:49:47.920><c> that</c><00:49:48.099><c> we</c><00:49:48.300><c> should</c>

00:49:48.519 --> 00:49:49.880
love<00:49:49.039><c> our</c><00:49:49.360><c> wives.</c>

00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:52.920
And<00:49:50.420><c> what's</c><00:49:50.719><c> the</c><00:49:50.860><c> measure</c><00:49:51.079><c> of</c><00:49:51.320><c> the</c><00:49:51.539><c> love</c><00:49:51.860><c> as</c><00:49:52.280><c> Christ</c><00:49:52.719><c> loved</c>

00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:53.599
the<00:49:53.239><c> church?</c>

00:49:53.900 --> 00:49:57.179
Love<00:49:54.139><c> her</c><00:49:54.440><c> so</c><00:49:54.800><c> much</c><00:49:55.099><c> that</c><00:49:55.340><c> you</c><00:49:55.500><c> would</c><00:49:55.800><c> even</c><00:49:56.199><c> give</c><00:49:56.420><c> your</c><00:49:56.780><c> life</c>

00:49:57.179 --> 00:49:58.860
for<00:49:57.900><c> her.</c>

00:49:59.940 --> 00:50:04.639
And<00:50:00.539><c> then</c><00:50:01.139><c> he</c><00:50:01.400><c> says</c><00:50:01.480><c> it</c><00:50:01.760><c> again</c><00:50:02.159><c> in</c><00:50:02.579><c> verse</c><00:50:03.079><c> 28.</c>

00:50:04.820 --> 00:50:09.380
So<00:50:05.360><c> ought</c><00:50:05.739><c> men</c><00:50:06.059><c> to</c><00:50:06.260><c> love</c><00:50:06.440><c> their</c><00:50:06.699><c> wives</c><00:50:07.139><c> as</c><00:50:07.679><c> their</c><00:50:08.000><c> own</c><00:50:08.360><c> bodies.</c>

00:50:10.780 --> 00:50:13.940
He<00:50:10.980><c> that</c><00:50:11.280><c> loveth</c><00:50:11.539><c> his</c><00:50:11.800><c> wife</c><00:50:12.619><c> loveth</c><00:50:13.280><c> himself.</c>

00:50:14.199 --> 00:50:19.789
So<00:50:14.480><c> it's</c><00:50:14.679><c> really</c><00:50:14.980><c> twice</c><00:50:15.360><c> in</c><00:50:15.800><c> that</c><00:50:16.019><c> verse,</c><00:50:16.320><c> isn't</c><00:50:16.559><c> it,</c><00:50:16.719><c> that</c><00:50:16.900><c> you</c><00:50:17.079><c> should</c><00:50:17.400><c> love</c><00:50:17.820><c> your</c><00:50:18.139><c> wife</c><00:50:18.480><c> as</c><00:50:19.019><c> yourself.</c>

00:50:20.019 --> 00:50:23.320
Now,<00:50:20.519><c> again,</c><00:50:21.099><c> men,</c><00:50:21.420><c> we</c><00:50:21.880><c> talked</c><00:50:22.199><c> a</c><00:50:22.340><c> little</c><00:50:22.599><c> bit</c><00:50:22.760><c> about,</c><00:50:23.079><c> you</c><00:50:23.320><c> know,</c>

00:50:23.320 --> 00:50:26.940
we<00:50:23.440><c> have</c><00:50:23.679><c> this</c><00:50:23.940><c> potential</c><00:50:24.420><c> perhaps</c><00:50:24.760><c> to</c><00:50:24.960><c> be</c><00:50:25.179><c> a</c><00:50:25.199><c> little</c><00:50:25.460><c> bit</c><00:50:25.760><c> self</c><00:50:25.980><c>-obsessed,</c><00:50:26.760><c> a</c>

00:50:26.940 --> 00:50:28.980
little<00:50:27.139><c> bit</c><00:50:27.260><c> in</c><00:50:27.480><c> our</c><00:50:27.699><c> own</c><00:50:28.000><c> worlds.</c>

00:50:29.699 --> 00:50:33.260
So<00:50:30.179><c> we</c><00:50:30.659><c> know</c><00:50:31.019><c> in</c><00:50:31.219><c> that</c><00:50:31.480><c> sense</c><00:50:31.760><c> what</c><00:50:32.019><c> it's</c><00:50:32.380><c> like</c><00:50:32.579><c> to</c><00:50:32.860><c> take</c><00:50:33.059><c> care</c>

00:50:33.260 --> 00:50:34.199
of<00:50:33.460><c> our</c><00:50:33.619><c> own</c><00:50:33.840><c> interests,</c>

00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:37.579
the<00:50:34.420><c> things</c><00:50:34.639><c> that</c><00:50:34.880><c> we're</c><00:50:35.159><c> into,</c><00:50:36.079><c> and</c><00:50:36.280><c> to</c><00:50:36.579><c> love</c><00:50:36.840><c> ourselves</c><00:50:37.360><c> in</c>

00:50:37.579 --> 00:50:38.800
that<00:50:37.840><c> sense.</c>

00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:41.559
Well,<00:50:39.699><c> if</c><00:50:39.900><c> we</c><00:50:40.079><c> know</c><00:50:40.239><c> about</c><00:50:40.539><c> that,</c><00:50:40.960><c> then</c><00:50:41.039><c> what</c><00:50:41.179><c> we've</c><00:50:41.380><c> got</c><00:50:41.460><c> to</c>

00:50:41.559 --> 00:50:43.940
do<00:50:41.699><c> is</c><00:50:41.860><c> take</c><00:50:42.099><c> that</c><00:50:42.380><c> and</c><00:50:42.500><c> apply</c><00:50:42.820><c> it</c><00:50:43.500><c> externally.</c>

00:50:44.059 --> 00:50:46.639
We've<00:50:44.420><c> got</c><00:50:44.500><c> to</c><00:50:44.659><c> apply</c><00:50:45.019><c> that</c><00:50:45.659><c> to</c><00:50:46.099><c> our</c><00:50:46.400><c> wives.</c>

00:50:46.699 --> 00:50:50.039
If<00:50:46.840><c> we</c><00:50:47.059><c> know</c><00:50:47.219><c> how</c><00:50:47.420><c> to</c><00:50:47.599><c> take</c><00:50:47.820><c> care</c><00:50:48.019><c> of</c><00:50:48.239><c> ourselves,</c><00:50:49.239><c> then</c><00:50:49.400><c> we</c><00:50:49.599><c> should</c><00:50:49.739><c> be</c>

00:50:50.039 --> 00:50:52.739
applying<00:50:50.360><c> that</c><00:50:51.099><c> to</c><00:50:51.920><c> our</c><00:50:52.300><c> wives.</c>

00:50:53.099 --> 00:50:57.380
And<00:50:53.360><c> then</c><00:50:53.780><c> finally,</c><00:50:54.440><c> it</c><00:50:54.599><c> says</c><00:50:54.780><c> it</c><00:50:55.019><c> again</c><00:50:55.579><c> in</c><00:50:56.059><c> verse</c><00:50:56.579><c> 33.</c>

00:50:57.380 --> 00:51:00.039
Nevertheless,<00:50:58.219><c> let</c><00:50:58.340><c> every</c><00:50:58.639><c> one</c><00:50:58.800><c> of</c><00:50:58.940><c> you</c><00:50:59.059><c> in</c><00:50:59.199><c> particular</c><00:50:59.739><c> so</c>

00:51:04.559 --> 00:51:08.719
So<00:51:04.920><c> what's</c><00:51:05.400><c> that</c><00:51:05.619><c> then?</c><00:51:06.260><c> That's</c><00:51:06.699><c> not</c><00:51:06.940><c> once,</c><00:51:07.559><c> not</c><00:51:07.800><c> twice,</c><00:51:08.500><c> not</c>

00:51:12.800 --> 00:51:14.699
And<00:51:12.860><c> I</c><00:51:12.960><c> was</c><00:51:13.179><c> staggered,</c><00:51:13.739><c> you</c><00:51:13.900><c> know,</c><00:51:13.980><c> I'd</c><00:51:14.159><c> read</c><00:51:14.239><c> this</c><00:51:14.460><c> chapter</c>

00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:20.239
but<00:51:16.619><c> I'd</c><00:51:16.860><c> never</c><00:51:17.039><c> noticed</c><00:51:17.440><c> just</c><00:51:17.760><c> how</c><00:51:18.000><c> insistent</c><00:51:18.840><c> this</c><00:51:19.179><c> repetition</c><00:51:19.800><c> was.</c>

00:51:20.480 --> 00:51:23.219

00:51:31.940 --> 00:51:33.099
as<00:51:32.059><c> Christ</c><00:51:32.400><c> loved</c><00:51:32.539><c> the</c><00:51:32.800><c> church,</c>

00:51:35.860 --> 00:51:39.219
Because<00:51:36.119><c> she</c><00:51:37.219><c> is</c><00:51:37.460><c> one</c><00:51:37.559><c> with</c><00:51:37.800><c> you</c><00:51:37.940><c> now</c><00:51:38.139><c> anyway,</c><00:51:38.480><c> you</c><00:51:38.679><c> are</c><00:51:38.980><c> one,</c>

00:51:46.340 --> 00:51:51.139
So<00:51:46.820><c> this</c><00:51:47.300><c> fourfold</c><00:51:47.780><c> emphasis</c><00:51:48.400><c> is</c><00:51:48.940><c> really</c><00:51:49.340><c> striking,</c><00:51:49.880><c> and</c><00:51:50.000><c> it</c>

00:51:51.139 --> 00:51:52.139
leads<00:51:51.260><c> to</c><00:51:51.539><c> ask</c><00:51:51.780><c> a</c><00:51:51.960><c> question,</c>

00:51:52.139 --> 00:51:55.260
well,<00:51:52.659><c> why</c><00:51:53.079><c> should</c><00:51:53.280><c> we</c><00:51:53.460><c> need</c><00:51:53.599><c> it</c><00:51:53.780><c> to</c><00:51:53.900><c> be</c><00:51:54.039><c> said</c><00:51:54.179><c> to</c><00:51:54.380><c> us</c><00:51:54.539><c> four</c><00:51:54.860><c> times?</c>

00:51:55.480 --> 00:51:56.699
Couldn't<00:51:55.679><c> we</c><00:51:55.880><c> get</c><00:51:55.980><c> it</c><00:51:56.119><c> the</c><00:51:56.320><c> first</c><00:51:56.539><c> time?</c>

00:51:56.960 --> 00:51:59.119
And<00:51:57.099><c> in</c><00:51:57.219><c> fact,</c><00:51:57.360><c> it's</c><00:51:57.539><c> not</c><00:51:57.780><c> just</c><00:51:58.019><c> four</c><00:51:58.320><c> times,</c><00:51:58.659><c> because</c><00:51:58.820><c> if</c><00:51:59.000><c> we</c>

00:51:59.119 --> 00:52:01.079

00:52:01.079 --> 00:52:03.639
and<00:52:01.219><c> we</c><00:52:01.340><c> won't</c><00:52:01.519><c> do</c><00:52:01.719><c> it</c><00:52:01.840><c> now,</c><00:52:02.000><c> but</c><00:52:02.119><c> if</c><00:52:02.239><c> we</c><00:52:02.380><c> were</c><00:52:02.500><c> to</c><00:52:02.619><c> turn</c><00:52:02.719><c> to</c><00:52:02.880><c> Colossians</c><00:52:03.159><c> 3,</c>

00:52:03.760 --> 00:52:06.500
it<00:52:03.980><c> says</c><00:52:04.199><c> there,</c><00:52:04.840><c> husbands</c><00:52:05.059><c> love</c><00:52:05.480><c> your</c><00:52:05.719><c> wives</c><00:52:06.000><c> and</c><00:52:06.219><c> be</c><00:52:06.360><c> not</c>

00:52:08.079 --> 00:52:11.139
And<00:52:08.300><c> again,</c><00:52:08.519><c> Peter</c><00:52:08.840><c> talks</c><00:52:09.119><c> about</c><00:52:09.440><c> honoring</c><00:52:10.079><c> our</c><00:52:10.820><c> wives.</c>

00:52:11.519 --> 00:52:14.039
So<00:52:11.880><c> time</c><00:52:12.099><c> after</c><00:52:12.420><c> time</c><00:52:12.639><c> this</c><00:52:12.840><c> message</c><00:52:13.179><c> comes,</c><00:52:13.639><c> and</c><00:52:13.820><c> I</c><00:52:13.900><c> think</c>

00:52:14.039 --> 00:52:16.179

00:52:16.739 --> 00:52:22.639
And<00:52:17.179><c> one</c><00:52:17.440><c> reason</c><00:52:17.900><c> is</c><00:52:18.579><c> that</c><00:52:19.199><c> it</c><00:52:19.800><c> is</c><00:52:20.099><c> what</c><00:52:20.500><c> our</c><00:52:20.840><c> wife</c><00:52:21.380><c> needs.</c>

It's<00:53:23.960><c> about</c><00:53:24.219><c> whether</c><00:53:24.500><c> she</c><00:53:24.780><c> knows</c><00:53:25.039><c> it</c><00:53:25.420><c> or</c><00:53:25.639><c> not.</c>

00:53:26.059 --> 00:53:28.900
And<00:53:26.280><c> if</c><00:53:26.380><c> she</c><00:53:26.619><c> doesn't</c><00:53:26.860><c> know</c><00:53:27.039><c> it,</c><00:53:27.519><c> then</c><00:53:27.699><c> I</c><00:53:27.840><c> need</c><00:53:28.000><c> to</c><00:53:28.119><c> go</c><00:53:28.440><c> back</c><00:53:28.719><c> to</c>

00:53:28.900 --> 00:53:29.920
the<00:53:29.099><c> drawing</c><00:53:29.300><c> board</c><00:53:29.519><c> again,</c>

00:53:29.980 --> 00:53:34.579
don't<00:53:30.260><c> I,</c><00:53:30.500><c> and</c><00:53:31.460><c> to</c><00:53:31.980><c> strive</c><00:53:32.360><c> again</c><00:53:32.860><c> to</c><00:53:33.320><c> show</c><00:53:33.619><c> this</c><00:53:33.940><c> love</c><00:53:34.239><c> that</c>

the<00:53:34.780><c> scriptures</c><00:53:35.019><c> ask</c><00:53:35.340><c> of</c><00:53:35.539><c> me.</c>

00:53:35.699 --> 00:53:40.900
So<00:53:36.039><c> it's</c><00:53:36.300><c> what</c><00:53:36.519><c> she</c><00:53:36.800><c> needs,</c><00:53:37.960><c> but</c><00:53:38.039><c> it's</c><00:53:38.420><c> also</c><00:53:39.280><c> what</c><00:53:39.880><c> is</c><00:53:40.159><c> difficult</c><00:53:40.539><c> for</c><00:53:40.739><c> him</c>

00:53:40.900 --> 00:53:41.960
to<00:53:41.199><c> show.</c>

00:53:42.920 --> 00:53:46.500
And<00:53:43.440><c> I</c><00:53:43.960><c> hesitate</c><00:53:44.280><c> to</c><00:53:44.539><c> use</c><00:53:44.679><c> the</c><00:53:44.920><c> expression,</c><00:53:45.320><c> but</c><00:53:45.619><c> I</c><00:53:46.199><c> think</c><00:53:46.400><c> it</c>

00:53:46.500 --> 00:53:49.039
is<00:53:46.739><c> a</c><00:53:46.820><c> good</c><00:53:47.000><c> way</c><00:53:47.320><c> of</c><00:53:48.000><c> describing</c><00:53:48.519><c> it.</c>

00:53:49.440 --> 00:53:51.840
You<00:53:49.539><c> know,</c><00:53:49.719><c> it's</c><00:53:50.099><c> been</c><00:53:50.320><c> said</c><00:53:50.519><c> that</c><00:53:50.780><c> men</c><00:53:51.000><c> have</c><00:53:51.320><c> a</c><00:53:51.460><c> tendency,</c>

00:53:51.920 --> 00:53:54.519

00:53:55.000 --> 00:53:56.639

00:53:56.639 --> 00:53:58.000
emotionally<00:53:57.099><c> constipated,</c>

00:53:58.320 --> 00:54:02.199
that<00:53:58.440><c> it</c><00:53:58.619><c> can</c><00:53:58.780><c> be</c><00:53:59.039><c> difficult</c><00:53:59.539><c> for</c><00:53:59.800><c> men</c><00:54:00.139><c> to</c><00:54:00.559><c> express</c><00:54:01.219><c> their</c><00:54:01.699><c> emotions.</c>

00:54:02.260 --> 00:54:04.280
You<00:54:02.360><c> know,</c><00:54:02.559><c> we're</c><00:54:03.059><c> good</c><00:54:03.219><c> at</c><00:54:03.360><c> it</c><00:54:03.460><c> while</c><00:54:03.619><c> we're</c><00:54:03.880><c> dating,</c>

00:54:04.280 --> 00:54:06.980

00:54:06.980 --> 00:54:09.800
and<00:54:07.159><c> we</c><00:54:07.239><c> can</c><00:54:07.619><c> make</c><00:54:07.820><c> nice</c><00:54:08.139><c> compliments</c><00:54:08.639><c> and</c><00:54:08.920><c> say,</c><00:54:09.380><c> you</c><00:54:09.639><c> know,</c>

00:54:09.820 --> 00:54:12.579

00:54:12.880 --> 00:54:15.480
But<00:54:13.139><c> then,</c><00:54:13.480><c> you</c><00:54:13.619><c> know,</c><00:54:13.679><c> as</c><00:54:13.880><c> we</c><00:54:14.159><c> settle</c><00:54:14.400><c> into</c><00:54:14.679><c> married</c><00:54:14.980><c> life,</c>

00:54:15.800 --> 00:54:17.900

00:54:18.159 --> 00:54:20.860
and<00:54:18.340><c> perhaps</c><00:54:18.579><c> we</c><00:54:18.820><c> find</c><00:54:19.019><c> it</c><00:54:19.280><c> hard</c><00:54:19.480><c> to</c><00:54:19.760><c> communicate</c><00:54:20.260><c> our</c><00:54:20.559><c> feelings.</c>

00:54:21.119 --> 00:54:23.139
But,<00:54:21.340><c> of</c><00:54:21.480><c> course,</c><00:54:21.559><c> what</c><00:54:21.719><c> it's</c><00:54:21.900><c> talking</c><00:54:22.159><c> about</c><00:54:22.420><c> here</c><00:54:22.619><c> is</c><00:54:22.800><c> not</c>

00:54:23.139 --> 00:54:24.119
that<00:54:23.380><c> we</c><00:54:23.559><c> should</c><00:54:23.780><c> say,</c>

00:54:30.579 --> 00:54:32.239
It's<00:54:30.800><c> not</c><00:54:30.940><c> the</c><00:54:31.119><c> saying</c><00:54:31.239><c> of</c><00:54:31.440><c> the</c><00:54:31.639><c> words,</c><00:54:31.980><c> is</c><00:54:32.099><c> it?</c>

00:54:32.239 --> 00:54:36.679
It's<00:54:33.119><c> whatever</c><00:54:33.519><c> way</c><00:54:33.820><c> it</c><00:54:33.980><c> is</c><00:54:34.360><c> that</c><00:54:34.699><c> our</c><00:54:35.079><c> wife</c><00:54:35.579><c> wants</c><00:54:36.099><c> or</c><00:54:36.420><c> needs</c>

00:54:46.039 --> 00:54:50.320

So<00:57:34.300><c> this</c><00:57:34.519><c> isn't</c><00:57:34.820><c> something</c><00:57:35.239><c> that</c><00:57:35.599><c> is</c><00:57:35.880><c> just</c><00:57:36.119><c> for</c><00:57:36.320><c> the</c><00:57:36.480><c> husband.</c>

00:57:37.199 --> 00:57:39.840
This<00:57:37.400><c> is</c><00:57:37.639><c> also</c><00:57:38.099><c> something</c><00:57:38.559><c> here</c><00:57:39.019><c> for</c><00:57:39.440><c> the</c><00:57:39.639><c> wife.</c>

00:57:39.940 --> 00:57:42.320
Now,<00:57:40.139><c> of</c><00:57:40.340><c> course,</c><00:57:40.519><c> there's</c><00:57:40.699><c> a</c><00:57:40.780><c> whole</c><00:57:40.940><c> lot</c><00:57:41.099><c> of</c><00:57:41.260><c> other</c><00:57:41.480><c> aspects</c>

00:57:42.320 --> 00:57:44.599
about<00:57:44.159><c> the</c><00:57:44.380><c> wife</c>

00:57:44.599 --> 00:57:47.139
that<00:57:44.679><c> we</c><00:57:45.199><c> don't</c><00:57:45.480><c> have</c><00:57:45.639><c> time</c><00:57:45.820><c> to</c><00:57:45.960><c> talk</c><00:57:46.159><c> about</c><00:57:46.360><c> now.</c>

00:57:49.099 --> 00:57:53.820
But<00:57:49.659><c> to</c><00:57:49.900><c> conclude</c><00:57:50.539><c> by</c><00:57:51.059><c> saying</c><00:57:51.480><c> just</c><00:57:51.980><c> as</c><00:57:52.199><c> we</c><00:57:52.400><c> saw</c><00:57:52.579><c> for</c><00:57:52.800><c> the</c><00:57:52.980><c> man</c>

00:57:54.179 --> 00:57:57.780
that<00:57:54.739><c> God</c><00:57:55.139><c> asks</c><00:57:55.500><c> of</c><00:57:55.739><c> the</c><00:57:55.900><c> man</c><00:57:56.119><c> exactly</c><00:57:56.659><c> what</c><00:57:56.880><c> the</c><00:57:57.059><c> wife</c><00:57:57.300><c> needs</c>

00:57:57.780 --> 00:58:00.300
and<00:57:58.119><c> what's</c><00:57:58.440><c> difficult</c><00:57:58.820><c> for</c><00:57:59.000><c> him</c><00:57:59.199><c> to</c><00:57:59.480><c> show,</c>

00:58:00.360 --> 00:58:04.340
so<00:58:00.579><c> God</c><00:58:00.800><c> asks</c><00:58:01.119><c> of</c><00:58:01.320><c> the</c><00:58:01.480><c> woman</c><00:58:01.980><c> exactly</c><00:58:02.699><c> what</c><00:58:02.960><c> the</c><00:58:03.199><c> man</c><00:58:03.639><c> needs.</c>

00:58:04.699 --> 00:58:07.760
Because<00:58:05.260><c> very</c><00:58:05.699><c> often</c><00:58:05.980><c> it's</c><00:58:06.260><c> the</c><00:58:06.440><c> case</c><00:58:06.699><c> that</c><00:58:06.960><c> a</c><00:58:07.179><c> way</c><00:58:07.420><c> that</c><00:58:07.619><c> a</c>

00:58:07.760 --> 00:58:08.800
man<00:58:07.940><c> feels</c><00:58:08.300><c> loved</c>

00:58:08.800 --> 00:58:10.599
is<00:58:09.340><c> by</c><00:58:09.619><c> being</c><00:58:09.920><c> respected.</c>

00:58:10.599 --> 00:58:13.239
And<00:58:10.920><c> I</c><00:58:11.019><c> don't</c><00:58:11.199><c> know</c><00:58:11.300><c> what</c><00:58:11.460><c> it</c><00:58:11.679><c> is</c><00:58:11.960><c> about</c><00:58:12.679><c> maleness</c>

00:58:13.239 --> 00:58:16.099
and<00:58:13.619><c> about</c><00:58:13.920><c> the</c><00:58:14.119><c> male</c><00:58:14.320><c> ego</c><00:58:14.739><c> and</c><00:58:15.099><c> what</c><00:58:15.280><c> it</c><00:58:15.440><c> is</c><00:58:15.559><c> to</c><00:58:15.699><c> be</c><00:58:15.860><c> a</c><00:58:15.980><c> man,</c>

00:58:16.099 --> 00:58:17.940
but<00:58:16.260><c> there</c><00:58:16.480><c> is</c><00:58:16.739><c> something,</c><00:58:17.219><c> it</c><00:58:17.500><c> seems,</c>

00:58:18.260 --> 00:58:23.860
where<00:58:18.579><c> a</c><00:58:18.840><c> man</c><00:58:19.579><c> likes</c><00:58:20.300><c> to</c><00:58:20.599><c> or</c><00:58:20.780><c> needs</c><00:58:21.159><c> to</c><00:58:21.519><c> feel</c><00:58:21.800><c> this</c><00:58:22.139><c> sense</c><00:58:22.519><c> of</c><00:58:23.219><c> validation</c>

00:58:23.860 --> 00:58:28.300
that<00:58:24.800><c> he</c><00:58:25.360><c> is</c><00:58:25.699><c> doing</c><00:58:25.940><c> or</c><00:58:26.119><c> is</c><00:58:26.440><c> trying</c><00:58:26.679><c> to</c><00:58:26.980><c> do</c><00:58:27.219><c> a</c><00:58:27.619><c> good</c><00:58:27.880><c> job</c>

00:58:28.300 --> 00:58:30.340
and<00:58:28.820><c> that</c><00:58:29.059><c> that's</c><00:58:29.539><c> appreciated.</c>

00:58:30.519 --> 00:58:33.000
That<00:58:30.800><c> respect</c><00:58:31.500><c> that</c><00:58:31.800><c> a</c><00:58:31.980><c> wife</c><00:58:32.260><c> can</c><00:58:32.659><c> show</c>

00:58:33.000 --> 00:58:36.980
can<00:58:33.480><c> prevent</c><00:58:33.920><c> a</c><00:58:34.239><c> man</c><00:58:34.400><c> ever</c><00:58:34.739><c> having</c><00:58:34.980><c> to</c><00:58:35.400><c> become</c><00:58:35.760><c> that</c><00:58:36.280><c> caricature</c>

00:58:36.980 --> 00:58:39.239
that<00:58:37.519><c> we</c><00:58:37.820><c> saw</c><00:58:38.079><c> in</c><00:58:38.440><c> the</c><00:58:38.639><c> life</c><00:58:38.860><c> of</c><00:58:39.099><c> Haman.</c>

00:58:39.239 --> 00:58:41.260
So<00:58:39.539><c> I</c><00:58:39.619><c> just</c><00:58:39.800><c> think</c><00:58:39.860><c> that's</c><00:58:40.079><c> a</c><00:58:40.219><c> beautiful</c><00:58:40.480><c> thing,</c>

00:58:42.000 --> 00:58:44.800

00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:48.860

00:58:48.860 --> 00:58:53.260
ask<00:58:49.739><c> each</c><00:58:50.300><c> of</c><00:58:50.500><c> them</c><00:58:50.699><c> to</c><00:58:51.019><c> provide</c><00:58:51.480><c> exactly</c><00:58:52.119><c> what</c><00:58:52.380><c> the</c><00:58:52.579><c> other</c><00:58:52.739><c> needs</c>

00:58:53.260 --> 00:58:56.440

00:58:56.760 --> 00:58:59.239
It's<00:58:56.960><c> not</c><00:58:57.119><c> easy</c><00:58:57.380><c> for</c><00:58:57.559><c> the</c><00:58:57.699><c> husband</c><00:58:58.000><c> to</c><00:58:58.239><c> try</c><00:58:58.440><c> to</c><00:58:58.699><c> be</c>

00:59:04.579 --> 00:59:07.519
And<00:59:04.860><c> it's</c><00:59:05.079><c> not</c><00:59:05.340><c> easy</c><00:59:05.659><c> for</c><00:59:05.860><c> the</c><00:59:06.000><c> woman</c><00:59:06.239><c> to</c><00:59:06.619><c> respect</c><00:59:07.059><c> a</c><00:59:07.260><c> husband</c>
