00:11:54.059 --> 00:11:59.740
How<00:11:55.299><c> like</c><00:11:55.519><c> the</c><00:11:55.740><c> Pharisees</c><00:11:56.159><c> of</c><00:11:56.360><c> Jesus'</c><00:11:57.139><c> time,</c><00:11:58.440><c> let</c><00:11:58.539><c> the</c><00:11:58.779><c> blind</c>

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.080
Even<00:12:02.899><c> after</c><00:12:03.139><c> those</c><00:12:03.419><c> priests</c><00:12:03.639><c> had</c><00:12:03.860><c> taken</c><00:12:04.059><c> their</c><00:12:04.419><c> heathen</c><00:12:04.759><c> wives</c>

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.059

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.519
We've<00:12:45.159><c> already</c><00:12:45.399><c> considered</c><00:12:45.740><c> this</c><00:12:46.000><c> a</c><00:12:46.080><c> little</c><00:12:46.200><c> this</c><00:12:46.399><c> week,</c><00:12:46.659><c> haven't</c><00:12:46.860><c> we?</c>

Excuse<00:17:47.380><c> me.</c>

00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:58.880
The<00:17:54.839><c> law</c><00:17:55.140><c> said,</c><00:17:56.839><c> one</c><00:17:57.099><c>-tenth</c><00:17:57.519><c> for</c><00:17:57.839><c> the</c><00:17:58.019><c> Lord.</c>

00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:00.240
The<00:23:57.299><c> law</c><00:23:57.519><c> said</c><00:23:57.759><c> you</c><00:23:57.920><c> give</c><00:23:58.160><c> to</c><00:23:58.319><c> the</c><00:23:58.440><c> Lord</c><00:23:58.759><c> first</c><00:23:59.319><c> the</c><00:23:59.539><c> best.</c>

00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:03.960

00:24:04.660 --> 00:24:07.519
Let's<00:24:04.779><c> have</c><00:24:04.880><c> a</c><00:24:04.940><c> little</c><00:24:05.039><c> look,</c><00:24:05.319><c> Proverbs</c><00:24:05.660><c> chapter</c><00:24:06.059><c> 3.</c>

To<00:24:17.839><c> see</c><00:24:18.059><c> how</c><00:24:18.380><c> these</c><00:24:18.700><c> words</c><00:24:19.200><c> are</c><00:24:20.119><c> distilled</c><00:24:20.720><c> through</c><00:24:20.940><c> the</c><00:24:21.140><c> mind</c>

00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:22.019

00:24:28.339 --> 00:24:31.559
We<00:24:28.599><c> have</c><00:24:28.779><c> this</c><00:24:28.980><c> relationship,</c><00:24:29.680><c> don't</c><00:24:29.779><c> we,</c><00:24:29.920><c> my</c><00:24:30.359><c> son?</c>

00:24:32.539 --> 00:24:34.460
Forget<00:24:32.759><c> not</c><00:24:33.000><c> my</c><00:24:33.259><c> law,</c><00:24:33.619><c> Proverbs</c><00:24:33.940><c> 3.</c>

00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:37.559
And<00:24:34.700><c> in</c><00:24:34.859><c> verse</c><00:24:35.079><c> 6</c><00:24:36.039><c> he</c><00:24:36.559><c> says,</c>

00:24:45.099 --> 00:24:47.220
So<00:24:45.279><c> it's</c><00:24:45.299><c> not</c><00:24:45.460><c> just</c><00:24:45.720><c> some</c><00:24:45.859><c> of</c><00:24:46.019><c> the</c><00:24:46.240><c> time.</c>

00:24:58.420 --> 00:25:00.319
but<00:24:58.539><c> I</c><00:24:58.680><c> doubt</c><00:24:58.779><c> if</c><00:24:58.920><c> I</c><00:24:58.940><c> can</c><00:24:59.039><c> get</c><00:24:59.180><c> out</c><00:24:59.279><c> in</c><00:24:59.420><c> the</c><00:24:59.539><c> evening</c><00:24:59.720><c> or</c><00:24:59.920><c> afternoon</c>

00:25:25.579 --> 00:25:27.799
Don't<00:25:25.799><c> be</c><00:25:26.019><c> wise</c><00:25:26.160><c> in</c><00:25:26.299><c> your</c><00:25:26.480><c> own</c><00:25:26.640><c> eyes.</c>

Don't<00:25:29.079><c> be</c><00:25:29.420><c> strong</c><00:25:29.839><c> and</c><00:25:30.160><c> muscular</c><00:25:30.759><c> as</c><00:25:31.279><c> Goliath</c><00:25:31.759><c> was.</c>

00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:37.420
He<00:25:33.380><c> had</c><00:25:33.480><c> a</c><00:25:33.579><c> fantastic</c><00:25:34.380><c> defence</c><00:25:34.960><c> with</c><00:25:35.440><c> all</c><00:25:35.859><c> his</c><00:25:36.140><c> brass</c><00:25:36.519><c> armour.</c>

Don't<00:25:56.079><c> be</c><00:25:56.319><c> proud.</c>

00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:02.339
Good<00:26:00.480><c> examples</c><00:26:00.819><c> of</c><00:26:01.019><c> these</c><00:26:01.119><c> peacocks</c><00:26:01.420><c> round</c><00:26:01.700><c> here</c><00:26:01.859><c> of</c><00:26:02.119><c> pride,</c>

aren't<00:26:02.500><c> they?</c>

00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:05.359
They<00:26:02.839><c> say</c><00:26:02.980><c> proud</c><00:26:03.339><c> as</c><00:26:03.539><c> a</c><00:26:03.700><c> peacock,</c><00:26:04.259><c> and</c><00:26:04.259><c> they're</c><00:26:04.519><c> strutting</c><00:26:04.819><c> about</c><00:26:05.160><c> in</c>

00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:09.220
They're<00:26:06.079><c> a</c><00:26:06.099><c> bit</c><00:26:06.279><c> tatty</c><00:26:06.500><c> now,</c><00:26:07.220><c> but</c><00:26:07.420><c> basically</c><00:26:08.240><c> they're</c><00:26:08.940><c> very</c>

00:26:09.220 --> 00:26:10.799
beautiful<00:26:09.619><c> animals.</c>

00:26:12.339 --> 00:26:17.359
And<00:26:12.779><c> someone</c><00:26:13.099><c> remarked</c><00:26:13.539><c> to</c><00:26:13.740><c> me</c><00:26:13.940><c> that</c><00:26:15.440><c> people</c><00:26:16.799><c> are</c><00:26:16.960><c> just</c><00:26:17.099><c> like</c>

00:26:19.140 --> 00:26:21.119
Even<00:26:19.359><c> when</c><00:26:19.500><c> they</c><00:26:19.680><c> open</c><00:26:19.880><c> their</c><00:26:20.079><c> mouths.</c>

00:26:24.359 --> 00:26:25.920
Well,<00:26:24.940><c> take</c><00:26:25.140><c> that</c><00:26:25.299><c> as</c><00:26:25.480><c> you</c><00:26:25.700><c> will.</c>

00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:27.539
That's<00:26:26.420><c> not</c><00:26:26.579><c> an</c><00:26:26.779><c> original</c><00:26:27.180><c> comment.</c>

00:26:27.720 --> 00:26:31.200

00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:51.900
This<00:26:49.279><c> is</c><00:26:49.460><c> the</c><00:26:49.579><c> promise</c><00:26:49.839><c> of</c><00:26:50.059><c> God,</c><00:26:50.920><c> and</c><00:26:51.079><c> this</c><00:26:51.279><c> is</c><00:26:51.440><c> the</c><00:26:51.599><c> principle.</c>

00:26:52.099 --> 00:26:54.000
This<00:26:52.220><c> was</c><00:26:52.359><c> the</c><00:26:52.500><c> principle</c><00:26:52.740><c> that</c><00:26:52.920><c> God</c><00:26:53.079><c> gave</c><00:26:53.299><c> through</c><00:26:53.559><c> Moses</c><00:26:53.799><c> in</c>

Exodus<00:26:54.200><c> 23.</c>

You<00:26:55.519><c> give</c><00:26:55.839><c> first,</c><00:26:56.579><c> then</c><00:26:56.759><c> God</c><00:26:57.019><c> will</c><00:26:57.259><c> bless</c><00:26:57.539><c> you.</c>

00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:02.119
Very<00:27:01.599><c> interesting.</c>

00:27:02.380 --> 00:27:04.519
The<00:27:02.500><c> next</c><00:27:02.720><c> couple</c><00:27:02.940><c> of</c><00:27:03.140><c> verses</c><00:27:03.359><c> here,</c><00:27:03.759><c> 11</c><00:27:04.079><c> and</c><00:27:04.240><c> 12,</c>

00:27:06.539 --> 00:27:07.440
It's<00:27:06.680><c> where</c><00:27:06.799><c> they're</c><00:27:06.960><c> taken</c><00:27:07.220><c> from.</c>

00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:11.400
My<00:27:07.819><c> son,</c><00:27:08.500><c> despise</c><00:27:08.920><c> not</c><00:27:09.299><c> the</c><00:27:09.559><c> chastening</c><00:27:09.940><c> of</c><00:27:10.079><c> the</c><00:27:10.240><c> Lord,</c><00:27:10.500><c> neither</c><00:27:10.640><c> be</c><00:27:11.019><c> weary</c><00:27:11.279><c> of</c>

00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:12.119
his<00:27:11.640><c> correction.</c>

00:27:12.619 --> 00:27:16.400
For<00:27:12.740><c> the</c><00:27:12.880><c> Lord</c><00:27:13.160><c> loveth</c><00:27:13.640><c> whom</c><00:27:13.859><c> he</c><00:27:14.380><c> correcteth,</c><00:27:15.240><c> even</c><00:27:15.519><c> as</c><00:27:15.839><c> a</c><00:27:15.960><c> father</c><00:27:16.200><c> the</c>

00:27:20.500 --> 00:27:23.740
So<00:27:21.000><c> it's</c><00:27:21.119><c> not</c><00:27:21.299><c> an</c><00:27:21.400><c> easy</c><00:27:21.680><c> process,</c><00:27:22.740><c> this</c><00:27:22.740><c> giving</c><00:27:23.119><c> back</c><00:27:23.339><c> to</c><00:27:23.539><c> God</c>

00:27:23.740 --> 00:27:25.599
what<00:27:23.900><c> is</c><00:27:24.119><c> rightfully</c><00:27:24.519><c> his.</c>

00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:31.740
It<00:27:26.319><c> means</c><00:27:26.859><c> depressing</c><00:27:27.460><c> those</c><00:27:28.079><c> natural</c><00:27:29.059><c> feelings</c><00:27:29.559><c> of</c><00:27:29.720><c> the</c><00:27:29.920><c> flesh</c><00:27:30.099><c> that</c><00:27:30.240><c> we'd</c><00:27:30.480><c> like</c><00:27:30.559><c> to</c><00:27:30.799><c> enjoy.</c>

00:27:32.500 --> 00:27:34.619
But<00:27:32.740><c> gradually,</c><00:27:33.079><c> as</c><00:27:33.279><c> we</c><00:27:33.400><c> get</c><00:27:33.519><c> a</c><00:27:33.599><c> bit</c><00:27:33.720><c> older,</c><00:27:34.200><c> it</c><00:27:34.359><c> gets</c><00:27:34.519><c> a</c>

00:30:40.079 --> 00:30:42.440

00:30:43.480 --> 00:30:44.980
He's<00:30:43.799><c> God's</c><00:30:44.140><c> messenger.</c>

00:30:45.380 --> 00:30:50.019

00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:10.079
We've<00:31:08.400><c> got</c><00:31:08.539><c> punishments</c><00:31:09.019><c> and</c><00:31:09.220><c> trouble</c><00:31:09.500><c> from</c><00:31:09.680><c> the</c><00:31:09.859><c> enemies</c>

00:31:13.140 --> 00:31:16.079
We<00:31:13.339><c> desperately</c><00:31:13.700><c> need</c><00:31:13.880><c> the</c><00:31:14.160><c> rain.</c><00:31:14.559><c> The</c><00:31:14.720><c> crops</c><00:31:14.900><c> are</c><00:31:15.220><c> poor.</c>

00:31:19.579 --> 00:31:20.640
He<00:31:19.579><c> doesn't</c><00:31:19.579><c> even</c><00:31:19.859><c> care</c><00:31:20.099><c> for</c><00:31:20.259><c> us.</c>

00:31:20.880 --> 00:31:22.700
That's<00:31:21.099><c> how</c><00:31:21.259><c> they</c><00:31:21.559><c> thought.</c>

00:31:24.200 --> 00:31:27.740
And<00:31:24.339><c> Malachi</c><00:31:24.660><c> has</c><00:31:25.000><c> shown</c><00:31:25.220><c> them</c><00:31:25.819><c> just</c><00:31:26.359><c> how</c><00:31:26.519><c> their</c><00:31:26.779><c> minds</c><00:31:27.140><c> were</c><00:31:27.400><c> working</c>

00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:43.059
He<00:31:41.240><c> commanded</c><00:31:41.559><c> them</c><00:31:41.759><c> that</c><00:31:41.880><c> they</c><00:31:42.059><c> were</c><00:31:42.339><c> hypocrites.</c>

00:31:43.059 --> 00:31:47.200
They<00:31:43.640><c> disfigure</c><00:31:44.420><c> their</c><00:31:44.700><c> faces</c><00:31:45.099><c> that</c><00:31:45.480><c> they</c><00:31:45.660><c> may</c><00:31:45.799><c> be</c><00:31:46.240><c> seeing</c><00:31:46.759><c> of</c>

00:31:50.319 --> 00:31:52.579
That's<00:31:50.400><c> not</c><00:31:50.559><c> what</c><00:31:50.740><c> God</c><00:31:50.940><c> wanted,</c><00:31:51.460><c> was</c><00:31:51.460><c> it?</c>

00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:56.579

00:42:20.579 --> 00:42:23.920
The<00:42:20.780><c> proud</c><00:42:21.199><c> are</c><00:42:22.519><c> not</c><00:42:22.719><c> really</c><00:42:22.980><c> happy.</c>

God<00:46:51.400><c> has</c><00:46:51.840><c> defined</c><00:46:52.320><c> it</c><00:46:52.739><c> clearly</c><00:46:53.099><c> for</c><00:46:53.460><c> us.</c>

00:47:16.900 --> 00:47:21.059

00:47:26.880 --> 00:47:28.679
And<00:47:27.000><c> we've</c><00:47:27.219><c> got</c><00:47:27.300><c> to</c><00:47:27.420><c> make</c><00:47:27.539><c> a</c><00:47:27.739><c> decision,</c><00:47:28.099><c> my</c><00:47:28.260><c> dear</c><00:47:28.420><c> brothers</c>

00:47:31.559 --> 00:47:33.300
There's<00:47:31.960><c> no</c><00:47:32.119><c> other</c><00:47:32.320><c> way.</c>

00:47:42.559 --> 00:47:43.320
It's<00:47:42.800><c> not.</c>

00:47:43.619 --> 00:47:46.699
However<00:47:43.900><c> long</c><00:47:44.139><c> we</c><00:47:44.420><c> go,</c><00:47:45.360><c> we</c><00:47:45.500><c> have</c><00:47:45.739><c> to</c><00:47:45.980><c> do</c><00:47:46.199><c> it.</c>

00:48:04.960 --> 00:48:09.699
The<00:48:05.400><c> Lord</c><00:48:05.840><c> hearkened</c><00:48:07.219><c> and</c><00:48:08.300><c> heard</c><00:48:08.519><c> it.</c>

00:48:10.260 --> 00:48:11.579
We've<00:48:10.400><c> got</c><00:48:10.460><c> to</c><00:48:10.539><c> be</c><00:48:10.679><c> quick</c><00:48:10.800><c> now,</c><00:48:11.099><c> Brother</c><00:48:11.239><c> Arnold's</c><00:48:11.460><c> looking</c>

The<00:48:19.320><c> amazing</c><00:48:19.719><c> thing</c><00:48:20.019><c> is</c><00:48:20.159><c> that</c><00:48:20.320><c> the</c><00:48:20.320><c> Lord</c><00:48:20.619><c> of</c><00:48:20.800><c> the</c><00:48:20.940><c> whole</c><00:48:21.280><c> universe</c>
