00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.620

00:01:15.219 --> 00:01:17.780
Today<00:01:15.280><c> I</c><00:01:15.680><c> want</c><00:01:15.879><c> to</c><00:01:16.000><c> try</c><00:01:16.180><c> and</c><00:01:16.219><c> get</c><00:01:16.379><c> through</c><00:01:16.620><c> these</c><00:01:16.900><c> two</c><00:01:17.099><c> chapters,</c><00:01:17.459><c> seven</c>

00:01:17.780 --> 00:01:20.459
and<00:01:17.920><c> eight,</c><00:01:18.180><c> because</c><00:01:18.420><c> we'll</c><00:01:18.700><c> have</c><00:01:18.859><c> to</c><00:01:19.000><c> do</c><00:01:19.099><c> two</c><00:01:19.319><c> each</c><00:01:19.640><c> day</c><00:01:20.019><c> now</c>

to<00:01:20.879><c> finish</c><00:01:21.140><c> the</c><00:01:21.340><c> book.</c>

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:25.140
And<00:01:22.340><c> I</c><00:01:22.540><c> realise</c><00:01:23.040><c> that</c><00:01:23.219><c> it</c><00:01:23.359><c> means</c><00:01:23.579><c> that</c><00:01:23.840><c> we</c><00:01:24.120><c> perhaps</c><00:01:24.500><c> are</c><00:01:24.700><c> not</c>

00:01:25.140 --> 00:01:27.599
going<00:01:25.459><c> to</c><00:01:25.620><c> do</c><00:01:25.659><c> it</c><00:01:25.840><c> as</c><00:01:26.019><c> thoroughly</c><00:01:26.239><c> as</c><00:01:26.480><c> we</c><00:01:26.680><c> would</c><00:01:26.900><c> like.</c>

00:01:27.719 --> 00:01:31.859
Actually,<00:01:28.299><c> to</c><00:01:28.459><c> really</c><00:01:28.719><c> study</c><00:01:29.000><c> the</c><00:01:29.180><c> book</c><00:01:29.299><c> of</c><00:01:29.519><c> Ecclesiastes,</c><00:01:30.359><c> it</c><00:01:30.500><c> would</c><00:01:30.700><c> be</c><00:01:31.079><c> preferable</c><00:01:31.439><c> in</c><00:01:31.659><c> a</c>

00:01:31.859 --> 00:01:35.340
class<00:01:32.140><c> and</c><00:01:32.260><c> it</c><00:01:32.379><c> would</c><00:01:32.599><c> take</c><00:01:32.819><c> a</c><00:01:32.920><c> matter</c><00:01:33.120><c> of</c><00:01:33.379><c> months</c><00:01:33.700><c> to</c><00:01:33.959><c> go</c><00:01:34.159><c> through</c><00:01:34.319><c> it</c><00:01:34.459><c> thoroughly.</c>

00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:38.879
So<00:01:35.859><c> we're</c><00:01:36.120><c> trying</c><00:01:36.280><c> to</c><00:01:36.480><c> do</c><00:01:36.579><c> the</c><00:01:36.739><c> best</c><00:01:36.959><c> with</c><00:01:37.140><c> the</c><00:01:37.340><c> time</c><00:01:37.500><c> that</c><00:01:37.840><c> is</c>

00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:40.560
available<00:01:39.359><c> to</c><00:01:39.620><c> us.</c>

00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:46.719
Now<00:01:40.920><c> in</c><00:01:41.340><c> chapter</c><00:01:41.700><c> seven,</c><00:01:43.079><c> we</c><00:01:43.340><c> are</c><00:01:43.659><c> really</c><00:01:44.519><c> looking</c><00:01:45.019><c> at</c><00:01:46.299><c> seven</c>

00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:49.599
parables<00:01:47.280><c> which</c><00:01:47.599><c> are</c><00:01:47.840><c> a</c><00:01:47.980><c> guide</c><00:01:48.159><c> for</c><00:01:48.459><c> daily</c><00:01:48.719><c> living.</c>

00:01:50.239 --> 00:01:54.159
And<00:01:50.799><c> it's</c><00:01:51.060><c> headed</c><00:01:51.180><c> up</c><00:01:51.439><c> really</c><00:01:51.700><c> under</c><00:01:52.140><c> things</c><00:01:52.519><c> that</c><00:01:52.819><c> are</c><00:01:53.280><c> better.</c>

00:01:54.599 --> 00:01:58.099
It's<00:01:54.780><c> very</c><00:01:55.060><c> similar</c><00:01:55.340><c> to</c><00:01:55.700><c> the</c><00:01:55.840><c> book</c><00:01:56.000><c> of</c><00:01:56.299><c> Proverbs</c><00:01:56.920><c> and</c><00:01:57.739><c> it</c><00:01:57.939><c> has</c>

00:01:58.099 --> 00:02:02.340
a<00:01:58.299><c> definite</c><00:01:58.640><c> design</c><00:01:59.319><c> in</c><00:01:59.599><c> it</c><00:02:00.120><c> and</c><00:02:00.939><c> should</c><00:02:01.200><c> be</c><00:02:01.439><c> considered</c><00:02:01.780><c> against</c><00:02:02.099><c> the</c>

00:02:02.340 --> 00:02:05.159
background<00:02:02.739><c> actually</c><00:02:03.359><c> of</c><00:02:03.579><c> chapter</c><00:02:03.939><c> six.</c>

00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.520
And<00:02:06.760><c> we</c><00:02:06.959><c> start</c><00:02:07.099><c> then</c><00:02:07.239><c> in</c><00:02:07.420><c> the</c><00:02:07.579><c> first</c><00:02:07.780><c> verse</c><00:02:07.980><c> of</c><00:02:08.199><c> chapter</c><00:02:08.439><c> seven.</c>

00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:14.439
A<00:02:09.879><c> good</c><00:02:10.159><c> name</c><00:02:10.580><c> is</c><00:02:10.960><c> better</c><00:02:11.240><c> than</c><00:02:11.719><c> precious</c><00:02:12.419><c> ointment</c><00:02:13.300><c> and</c><00:02:14.259><c> the</c>

00:02:14.439 --> 00:02:18.180
day<00:02:14.580><c> of</c><00:02:14.819><c> death</c><00:02:15.599><c> than</c><00:02:16.139><c> the</c><00:02:16.300><c> day</c><00:02:16.479><c> of</c><00:02:16.659><c> one's</c><00:02:17.039><c> birth.</c>

00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.400
Well,<00:02:19.580><c> I</c><00:02:19.680><c> think</c><00:02:19.819><c> we</c><00:02:19.900><c> can</c><00:02:20.120><c> all</c><00:02:20.280><c> agree</c><00:02:20.560><c> that</c><00:02:20.699><c> a</c><00:02:20.840><c> good</c><00:02:21.000><c> name</c><00:02:21.240><c> is</c>

00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:23.360
better<00:02:21.639><c> than</c><00:02:21.900><c> precious</c><00:02:22.199><c> ointment.</c>

00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:29.719
It<00:02:24.199><c> may</c><00:02:24.479><c> be</c><00:02:24.740><c> that</c><00:02:24.879><c> not</c><00:02:25.099><c> all</c><00:02:25.400><c> people</c><00:02:26.120><c> look</c><00:02:26.659><c> on</c><00:02:27.199><c> it</c><00:02:27.659><c> that</c><00:02:27.979><c> way,</c><00:02:28.759><c> but</c><00:02:28.879><c> certainly</c><00:02:29.280><c> those</c><00:02:29.580><c> of</c>

00:02:29.719 --> 00:02:35.400
us<00:02:30.159><c> who</c><00:02:30.719><c> set</c><00:02:30.919><c> out</c><00:02:31.219><c> to</c><00:02:31.960><c> follow</c><00:02:32.240><c> Christ,</c><00:02:33.800><c> it</c><00:02:33.919><c> must</c><00:02:34.219><c> be</c><00:02:34.500><c> that</c><00:02:34.659><c> a</c><00:02:34.780><c> good</c><00:02:34.960><c> name</c><00:02:35.199><c> is</c>

00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:37.300
better<00:02:35.639><c> than</c><00:02:35.860><c> precious</c><00:02:36.199><c> ointment.</c>

00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:43.219
The<00:02:38.560><c> material</c><00:02:39.180><c> things</c><00:02:39.740><c> of</c><00:02:39.979><c> life</c><00:02:40.620><c> and</c><00:02:41.860><c> the</c><00:02:42.159><c> ephemeral</c><00:02:42.800><c> things</c>

00:02:43.219 --> 00:02:46.620
of<00:02:43.479><c> life</c><00:02:44.159><c> cannot</c><00:02:45.039><c> do</c><00:02:45.319><c> us</c><00:02:45.879><c> much</c><00:02:46.139><c> good.</c>

00:02:46.620 --> 00:02:49.639
They<00:02:47.180><c> are</c><00:02:47.439><c> fleeting,</c><00:02:48.300><c> they</c><00:02:48.300><c> are</c><00:02:48.520><c> gone,</c><00:02:48.919><c> they</c><00:02:49.120><c> are</c><00:02:49.259><c> there</c><00:02:49.419><c> only</c>

00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:50.840
for<00:02:49.800><c> the</c><00:02:49.939><c> moment.</c>

00:02:50.860 --> 00:02:56.479
But<00:02:51.099><c> a</c><00:02:51.280><c> good</c><00:02:51.439><c> name</c><00:02:51.919><c> lasts</c><00:02:52.659><c> and</c><00:02:53.180><c> a</c><00:02:53.340><c> good</c><00:02:53.580><c> name</c><00:02:53.800><c> before</c><00:02:54.259><c> God</c><00:02:55.039><c> is</c>

00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:59.379
the<00:02:56.840><c> important</c><00:02:57.620><c> thing</c><00:02:58.039><c> in</c><00:02:58.340><c> life.</c>

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:04.539
So<00:03:00.020><c> let's</c><00:03:00.219><c> have</c><00:03:00.379><c> a</c><00:03:00.379><c> look</c><00:03:00.500><c> at</c><00:03:00.699><c> Proverbs</c><00:03:01.039><c> 22</c><00:03:01.620><c>.1</c><00:03:02.080><c> first</c><00:03:02.419><c> of</c><00:03:02.639><c> all.</c>

00:03:10.500 --> 00:03:14.439
A<00:03:11.159><c> good</c><00:03:11.479><c> name</c><00:03:11.900><c> is</c><00:03:12.240><c> rather</c><00:03:12.520><c> to</c><00:03:12.719><c> be</c><00:03:12.960><c> chosen</c><00:03:13.280><c> than</c><00:03:13.659><c> great</c><00:03:13.939><c> riches</c>

00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:20.500

00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:27.900
It<00:03:23.620><c> is</c><00:03:23.860><c> amazing</c><00:03:24.439><c> that</c><00:03:25.780><c> the</c><00:03:26.039><c> majority</c><00:03:26.580><c> of</c><00:03:26.939><c> people</c><00:03:27.139><c> in</c><00:03:27.259><c> the</c><00:03:27.439><c> world</c><00:03:27.639><c> may</c>

Let's<00:39:17.800><c> put</c><00:39:17.920><c> it</c><00:39:18.059><c> this</c><00:39:18.300><c> way.</c>

00:39:19.420 --> 00:39:21.300
I<00:39:19.599><c> think</c><00:39:19.739><c> we</c><00:39:19.900><c> have</c><00:39:20.079><c> to</c><00:39:20.159><c> look</c><00:39:20.380><c> back</c><00:39:20.619><c> to</c><00:39:20.840><c> Eden</c><00:39:21.000><c> again.</c>

00:39:21.699 --> 00:39:23.840
I<00:39:22.139><c> think</c><00:39:22.280><c> the</c><00:39:22.480><c> story</c><00:39:22.820><c> of</c><00:39:23.019><c> Eden</c><00:39:23.239><c> is</c><00:39:23.539><c> there.</c>

00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:27.840
It<00:39:24.179><c> was</c><00:39:24.440><c> Eve</c><00:39:24.800><c> who</c><00:39:25.039><c> led</c><00:39:25.239><c> Adam</c><00:39:26.920><c> into</c><00:39:27.380><c> sin.</c>

00:39:28.219 --> 00:39:32.440
She<00:39:28.420><c> herself</c><00:39:28.880><c> was</c><00:39:29.119><c> in</c><00:39:29.460><c> the</c><00:39:29.780><c> transgression</c><00:39:30.340><c> first,</c><00:39:30.840><c> but</c><00:39:31.039><c> Adam</c><00:39:31.320><c> followed.</c>

00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:40.320
And<00:39:33.019><c> so</c><00:39:33.219><c> really,</c><00:39:34.820><c> God</c><00:39:35.199><c> appointed</c><00:39:36.579><c> man</c><00:39:37.300><c> as</c><00:39:37.719><c> the</c><00:39:38.159><c> head</c><00:39:38.579><c> of</c><00:39:39.219><c> creation.</c>

00:39:41.039 --> 00:39:47.539
He<00:39:41.320><c> gave</c><00:39:41.719><c> to</c><00:39:42.039><c> man</c><00:39:42.420><c> a</c><00:39:43.019><c> responsibility</c><00:39:43.920><c> in</c><00:39:44.519><c> the</c><00:39:44.739><c> family</c><00:39:45.300><c> to</c><00:39:46.599><c> provide</c><00:39:47.300><c> for</c>

00:39:57.300 --> 00:40:00.400

00:40:04.699 --> 00:40:09.179
Now<00:40:04.960><c> really,</c><00:40:05.880><c> as</c><00:40:06.219><c> we</c><00:40:06.500><c> have</c><00:40:06.639><c> it</c><00:40:06.760><c> in</c><00:40:06.940><c> our</c><00:40:07.199><c> day,</c><00:40:07.900><c> we</c><00:40:08.099><c> have</c><00:40:08.360><c> a</c><00:40:08.800><c> joint</c>

00:40:11.260 --> 00:40:13.699
We<00:40:11.460><c> don't</c><00:40:11.800><c> like</c><00:40:12.039><c> to</c><00:40:12.219><c> think</c><00:40:12.340><c> that</c><00:40:12.539><c> the</c><00:40:12.699><c> husband</c><00:40:12.960><c> is</c><00:40:13.219><c> superior</c>

This<00:45:59.099><c> also</c><00:45:59.400><c> is</c><00:45:59.639><c> vanity.</c>

00:46:00.380 --> 00:46:02.860
