00:04:42.339 --> 00:04:49.120
So,<00:04:45.000><c> just</c><00:04:45.399><c> on</c><00:04:45.740><c> that</c><00:04:46.019><c> point</c><00:04:46.220><c> then,</c><00:04:48.040><c> where</c><00:04:48.300><c> we</c><00:04:48.560><c> finished</c><00:04:48.819><c> up</c>

This<00:04:58.600><c> is</c><00:04:58.920><c> a</c><00:04:59.120><c> faithful</c><00:04:59.339><c> saint,</c><00:05:00.100><c> and</c><00:05:00.199><c> worthy</c><00:05:00.459><c> of</c><00:05:00.680><c> all</c><00:05:00.939><c> acceptation.</c>

00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:30.560
which<00:05:27.000><c> seem</c><00:05:27.560><c> almost</c><00:05:28.220><c> to</c><00:05:28.379><c> border</c><00:05:28.540><c> on</c><00:05:28.759><c> the</c><00:05:28.939><c> unreasonable,</c><00:05:30.319><c> are</c>

00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.199
set<00:05:30.740><c> against</c><00:05:31.060><c> the</c><00:05:31.300><c> background.</c>

00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.019
I'm<00:05:32.920><c> not</c><00:05:33.100><c> inferring,</c><00:05:33.439><c> of</c><00:05:33.600><c> course,</c><00:05:33.759><c> they</c><00:05:33.939><c> are.</c><00:05:34.139><c> Nothing's</c><00:05:34.540><c> unreasonable.</c>

00:05:35.019 --> 00:05:39.420
When<00:05:35.800><c> we</c><00:05:36.500><c> first</c><00:05:36.800><c> read</c><00:05:36.980><c> them,</c><00:05:37.259><c> we</c><00:05:37.259><c> think,</c><00:05:37.839><c> that's</c><00:05:38.420><c> pretty.</c>

00:05:39.759 --> 00:05:42.160
It's<00:05:40.360><c> pretty</c><00:05:40.620><c> demanding,</c><00:05:41.199><c> you</c><00:05:41.360><c> know.</c>

00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:45.759
But,<00:05:42.879><c> you</c><00:05:42.920><c> see,</c><00:05:43.100><c> it's</c><00:05:43.240><c> the</c><00:05:43.439><c> reality</c><00:05:43.980><c> of</c><00:05:44.740><c> the</c><00:05:44.920><c> life</c><00:05:45.079><c> to</c><00:05:45.360><c> come.</c>

00:05:46.220 --> 00:05:48.339
It's<00:05:46.379><c> the</c><00:05:46.540><c> reality</c><00:05:47.040><c> of</c><00:05:47.480><c> Christ.</c>

00:05:48.579 --> 00:05:51.240
It's<00:05:48.800><c> the</c><00:05:48.980><c> actual</c><00:05:49.279><c> reality</c><00:05:49.819><c> that</c><00:05:50.000><c> he</c><00:05:50.240><c> is</c><00:05:50.459><c> coming.</c>

00:05:52.180 --> 00:05:58.639
That<00:05:52.519><c> makes</c><00:05:53.180><c> these</c><00:05:53.540><c> things</c><00:05:54.040><c> so</c><00:05:56.300><c> clear</c><00:05:56.759><c> and</c><00:05:57.000><c> emphatic</c><00:05:57.319><c> to</c><00:05:57.600><c> Paul,</c><00:05:58.439><c> less</c>

00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:00.079

00:06:00.339 --> 00:06:03.600
So<00:06:00.579><c> we</c><00:06:00.939><c> grapple</c><00:06:01.319><c> with</c><00:06:01.420><c> some</c><00:06:01.620><c> of</c><00:06:01.759><c> these</c><00:06:01.959><c> things</c><00:06:02.120><c> in</c><00:06:02.300><c> these</c><00:06:02.600><c> epistles</c><00:06:02.920><c> and</c><00:06:03.259><c> say,</c>

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:09.779
it<00:06:04.259><c> seems</c><00:06:04.699><c> a</c><00:06:04.980><c> tremendous</c><00:06:06.360><c> burden,</c><00:06:07.699><c> an</c><00:06:07.959><c> onerous</c><00:06:08.560><c> responsibility.</c>

00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:13.560
But<00:06:10.439><c> that's</c><00:06:10.720><c> the</c><00:06:10.879><c> problem.</c><00:06:11.439><c> Our</c><00:06:11.699><c> finite</c><00:06:12.079><c> minds</c><00:06:12.579><c> are</c><00:06:13.079><c> sort</c><00:06:13.240><c> of</c>

00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:14.879
stuck<00:06:13.779><c> here</c><00:06:14.019><c> in</c><00:06:14.220><c> a</c><00:06:14.339><c> sort</c><00:06:14.480><c> of</c><00:06:14.720><c> groove,</c>

00:06:14.939 --> 00:06:18.300
and<00:06:15.060><c> it's</c><00:06:15.180><c> difficult</c><00:06:15.540><c> for</c><00:06:15.720><c> us</c><00:06:15.899><c> to</c><00:06:16.379><c> really</c><00:06:17.139><c> soar</c><00:06:17.740><c> above</c><00:06:18.000><c> it</c><00:06:18.160><c> and</c>

00:06:18.300 --> 00:06:20.220
to<00:06:18.560><c> see</c><00:06:18.720><c> it</c><00:06:18.860><c> all</c><00:06:18.980><c> in</c><00:06:19.160><c> perspective</c><00:06:19.639><c> and</c><00:06:19.920><c> say,</c>

00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:23.339
hey,<00:06:20.579><c> this</c><00:06:20.800><c> is</c><00:06:21.000><c> ridiculous.</c><00:06:21.600><c> I</c><00:06:21.959><c> want</c><00:06:22.120><c> to</c><00:06:22.220><c> be</c><00:06:22.300><c> in</c><00:06:22.420><c> the</c><00:06:22.600><c> kingdom.</c>

00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:25.379
I'm<00:06:23.660><c> not</c><00:06:23.860><c> interested</c><00:06:24.160><c> in</c><00:06:24.259><c> this</c><00:06:24.459><c> here.</c>

00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:29.100
And<00:06:26.339><c> that's</c><00:06:26.660><c> what</c><00:06:27.279><c> our</c><00:06:27.800><c> mindset</c><00:06:28.180><c> has</c><00:06:28.480><c> got</c><00:06:28.620><c> to</c><00:06:28.839><c> be.</c>

00:06:29.100 --> 00:06:32.920
So<00:06:29.699><c> it's</c><00:06:29.980><c> faithful</c><00:06:30.480><c> and</c><00:06:30.899><c> worthy</c><00:06:31.279><c> of</c><00:06:31.500><c> all</c><00:06:31.680><c> acceptation</c><00:06:32.240><c> to</c><00:06:32.579><c> see</c>

00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:34.879

00:08:08.180 --> 00:08:12.139

00:08:23.339 --> 00:08:25.579
That's<00:08:23.560><c> why</c><00:08:23.740><c> he</c><00:08:23.899><c> didn't</c><00:08:24.120><c> get</c><00:08:24.439><c> conversing.</c>

00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.120
So<00:08:36.039><c> God</c><00:08:36.220><c> is</c><00:08:37.320><c> ruling</c><00:08:37.639><c> the</c><00:08:37.899><c> world.</c>

We<00:11:20.100><c> pray</c><00:11:20.419><c> our</c><00:11:20.639><c> Russian</c><00:11:20.919><c> brethren,</c><00:11:21.320><c> we</c><00:11:21.480><c> take</c><00:11:21.679><c> it</c><00:11:21.779><c> away</c><00:11:21.919><c> to</c><00:11:22.080><c> the</c>

00:11:27.879 --> 00:11:29.179
But<00:11:28.000><c> you</c><00:11:28.100><c> see</c><00:11:28.139><c> what</c><00:11:28.299><c> I</c><00:11:28.419><c> mean.</c>

00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:35.679
God's<00:11:29.840><c> determined</c><00:11:30.279><c> the</c><00:11:30.559><c> nations,</c><00:11:31.179><c> the</c><00:11:31.419><c> times,</c><00:11:31.919><c> the</c><00:11:32.059><c> boundaries</c><00:11:32.460><c> that</c><00:11:32.940><c> they</c><00:11:33.419><c> might</c><00:11:33.799><c> seek</c><00:11:34.200><c> after</c><00:11:34.539><c> the</c><00:11:34.740><c> Lord</c>

00:11:36.299 --> 00:11:38.399

00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:40.480
He<00:11:38.679><c> wants</c><00:11:39.120><c> people</c><00:11:39.440><c> to</c><00:11:39.639><c> respond.</c>

00:11:40.580 --> 00:11:44.620
So<00:11:40.740><c> there's</c><00:11:41.899><c> a</c><00:11:42.159><c> Soviet</c><00:11:42.379><c> empire</c><00:11:42.720><c> which</c><00:11:43.000><c> one</c><00:11:43.159><c> of</c><00:11:43.379><c> your</c><00:11:43.740><c> ex</c><00:11:44.120><c>-presidents,</c><00:11:44.419><c> of</c>

00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:49.039
and<00:11:46.419><c> there</c><00:11:46.639><c> it</c><00:11:46.799><c> was</c><00:11:46.919><c> with</c><00:11:47.080><c> the</c><00:11:47.200><c> door</c><00:11:47.440><c> shut</c><00:11:47.919><c> against</c><00:11:48.679><c> freedom.</c>

00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:52.139
So<00:11:49.220><c> God</c><00:11:49.460><c> says,</c><00:11:50.659><c> get</c><00:11:50.679><c> rid</c><00:11:50.820><c> of</c><00:11:50.919><c> them.</c>

00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:54.940
I'll<00:11:52.559><c> bring</c><00:11:52.639><c> another</c><00:11:52.899><c> man</c><00:11:53.159><c> to</c><00:11:53.379><c> power</c><00:11:53.639><c> who</c><00:11:53.980><c> will</c><00:11:54.100><c> open</c><00:11:54.299><c> the</c><00:11:54.500><c> doors</c><00:11:54.740><c> of</c>

00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.100
and<00:11:56.940><c> then</c><00:11:57.620><c> my</c><00:11:58.059><c> people</c><00:11:58.360><c> can</c><00:11:58.559><c> go</c><00:11:58.820><c> back</c><00:11:59.059><c> home</c><00:11:59.500><c> and</c><00:11:59.940><c> my</c><00:12:00.360><c> gospel</c><00:12:00.759><c> can</c>

00:12:03.340 --> 00:12:05.519
before<00:12:04.120><c> my</c><00:12:04.460><c> son</c><00:12:05.080><c> comes.</c>

00:12:05.860 --> 00:12:09.379
That<00:12:06.120><c> happily</c><00:12:06.500><c> they</c><00:12:06.799><c> should</c><00:12:07.059><c> seek</c><00:12:07.340><c> after</c><00:12:07.620><c> the</c><00:12:07.799><c> Lord</c><00:12:08.019><c> and</c><00:12:09.039><c> feel</c>

00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:11.139
after<00:12:09.759><c> him</c><00:12:10.039><c> and</c><00:12:10.399><c> find</c><00:12:10.820><c> him</c>

00:12:11.139 --> 00:12:13.899
though<00:12:11.379><c> he</c><00:12:11.600><c> is</c><00:12:11.840><c> not</c><00:12:12.279><c> very</c><00:12:12.799><c> far</c><00:12:12.980><c> from</c><00:12:13.200><c> every</c><00:12:13.440><c> one</c><00:12:13.539><c> of</c><00:12:13.659><c> us.</c>

00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:16.700
For<00:12:14.240><c> in</c><00:12:14.559><c> him</c><00:12:14.720><c> we</c><00:12:14.940><c> live,</c><00:12:15.399><c> we</c><00:12:15.600><c> move</c><00:12:15.840><c> and</c><00:12:16.039><c> have</c><00:12:16.240><c> our</c><00:12:16.480><c> being.</c>

00:12:17.179 --> 00:12:19.659
See<00:12:17.639><c> the</c><00:12:17.820><c> way</c><00:12:17.940><c> Paul's</c><00:12:18.940><c> framing</c><00:12:19.139><c> this</c><00:12:19.440><c> speech?</c>

00:12:20.019 --> 00:12:22.019
If<00:12:20.139><c> we're</c><00:12:20.340><c> the</c><00:12:20.480><c> offspring</c><00:12:20.799><c> of</c><00:12:21.039><c> God,</c><00:12:21.220><c> even</c><00:12:21.360><c> your</c><00:12:21.559><c> own</c><00:12:21.799><c> poet</c>

00:12:22.019 --> 00:12:23.100
says<00:12:22.259><c> that,</c><00:12:22.659><c> says</c><00:12:22.759><c> Paul.</c>

00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:26.620
In<00:12:23.679><c> him</c><00:12:23.879><c> we</c><00:12:24.059><c> live,</c><00:12:24.600><c> we</c><00:12:24.879><c> move,</c><00:12:25.700><c> we</c><00:12:25.840><c> have</c><00:12:25.980><c> our</c><00:12:26.419><c> being.</c>

00:12:26.700 --> 00:12:30.019
Now<00:12:26.940><c> if</c><00:12:27.179><c> this</c><00:12:27.440><c> is</c><00:12:27.720><c> so,</c><00:12:28.179><c> he's</c><00:12:28.379><c> not</c><00:12:28.539><c> very</c><00:12:28.820><c> far</c><00:12:29.059><c> from</c><00:12:29.259><c> us.</c>

00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:32.700
All<00:12:30.679><c> we've</c><00:12:30.860><c> got</c><00:12:30.919><c> to</c><00:12:31.019><c> do</c><00:12:31.120><c> is</c><00:12:31.259><c> listen,</c><00:12:31.620><c> says</c><00:12:31.860><c> Paul.</c>

00:12:33.259 --> 00:12:35.960
If<00:12:33.440><c> happily</c><00:12:33.700><c> you</c><00:12:33.899><c> might</c><00:12:34.220><c> seek</c><00:12:34.559><c> after</c><00:12:34.779><c> him</c><00:12:34.879><c> and</c><00:12:35.039><c> actually</c><00:12:35.399><c> find</c><00:12:35.720><c> him.</c>

00:12:36.059 --> 00:12:37.740
That's<00:12:36.379><c> God's</c><00:12:36.960><c> will.</c>

00:12:37.899 --> 00:12:38.720
That's<00:12:38.139><c> what</c><00:12:38.240><c> God</c><00:12:38.460><c> wants.</c>

00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:41.600
Now<00:12:39.440><c> the</c><00:12:39.720><c> majority</c><00:12:40.159><c> of</c><00:12:40.220><c> men</c><00:12:40.399><c> say,</c><00:12:40.820><c> we</c><00:12:40.820><c> don't</c><00:12:41.039><c> want</c><00:12:41.159><c> to</c><00:12:41.320><c> hear</c><00:12:41.419><c> that.</c>

00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:43.799
We<00:12:41.740><c> don't</c><00:12:42.039><c> want</c><00:12:42.460><c> anything</c><00:12:42.840><c> to</c><00:12:43.100><c> do</c><00:12:43.220><c> with</c><00:12:43.440><c> it.</c>

00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:44.559
That's<00:12:44.179><c> fine.</c>

00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:46.980
That's<00:12:45.360><c> their</c><00:12:45.620><c> prerogative.</c>

00:12:47.379 --> 00:12:50.039
Romans<00:12:47.559><c> 1</c><00:12:47.740><c> says,</c><00:12:48.080><c> alright,</c><00:12:48.539><c> God</c><00:12:48.740><c> gives</c><00:12:48.980><c> them</c><00:12:49.139><c> up.</c>

00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:52.820
God<00:12:51.019><c> does</c><00:12:51.279><c> nothing</c><00:12:51.559><c> really,</c><00:12:51.899><c> just</c><00:12:52.100><c> turns</c><00:12:52.340><c> his</c><00:12:52.559><c> back.</c>

00:12:52.860 --> 00:12:54.899
He<00:12:52.899><c> says,</c><00:12:53.139><c> fine,</c><00:12:53.519><c> I</c><00:12:53.659><c> gave</c><00:12:53.860><c> you</c><00:12:54.019><c> the</c><00:12:54.179><c> offer.</c>

00:12:54.960 --> 00:12:56.100
Then<00:12:55.100><c> he</c><00:12:55.200><c> speaks</c><00:12:55.440><c> to</c><00:12:55.659><c> somebody</c><00:12:55.860><c> else.</c>

00:12:56.299 --> 00:12:58.179
Now<00:12:56.519><c> in</c><00:12:56.559><c> the</c><00:12:56.559><c> meantime,</c><00:12:57.080><c> the</c><00:12:57.179><c> minute</c><00:12:57.320><c> he</c><00:12:57.440><c> turns</c><00:12:57.700><c> his</c><00:12:57.980><c> back,</c>

00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:06.000
all<00:12:58.659><c> the</c><00:12:58.860><c> depravity</c><00:12:59.320><c> of</c><00:12:59.419><c> the</c><00:12:59.559><c> world</c><00:12:59.860><c> goes</c><00:13:00.320><c> on</c><00:13:00.820><c> and</c><00:13:02.279><c> unfettered,</c>

00:13:06.059 --> 00:13:09.620
licentious<00:13:06.799><c> behaviour</c><00:13:07.539><c> such</c><00:13:08.000><c> as</c><00:13:08.220><c> we</c><00:13:08.379><c> see</c><00:13:08.659><c> in</c><00:13:08.840><c> Romans</c><00:13:09.159><c> 1.</c>

00:13:10.100 --> 00:13:11.500
But<00:13:10.220><c> that's</c><00:13:10.639><c> not</c><00:13:10.919><c> God's</c><00:13:11.340><c> will.</c>

00:13:11.500 --> 00:13:13.980
God's<00:13:12.059><c> will</c><00:13:12.259><c> is</c><00:13:12.480><c> that</c><00:13:12.639><c> men</c><00:13:12.820><c> might</c><00:13:13.120><c> seek</c><00:13:13.360><c> after</c><00:13:13.679><c> him.</c>

00:13:14.120 --> 00:13:16.000
So<00:13:14.299><c> we</c><00:13:14.440><c> come</c><00:13:14.639><c> back</c><00:13:14.919><c> to</c><00:13:15.679><c> Timothy.</c>

00:13:16.220 --> 00:13:19.440
So<00:13:16.340><c> if</c><00:13:16.539><c> it's</c><00:13:16.759><c> God's</c><00:13:17.159><c> will,</c><00:13:18.159><c> that</c><00:13:18.279><c> he</c><00:13:18.440><c> should</c><00:13:18.620><c> be</c><00:13:18.820><c> the</c><00:13:19.080><c> saviour</c>

00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:20.940
of<00:13:19.620><c> all</c><00:13:19.779><c> men.</c>

00:13:22.059 --> 00:13:24.440
And<00:13:22.240><c> men</c><00:13:22.500><c> don't</c><00:13:22.960><c> believe</c><00:13:23.360><c> that.</c>

00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:33.240
So<00:13:31.639><c> God</c><00:13:31.799><c> would</c><00:13:32.000><c> like</c><00:13:32.120><c> all</c><00:13:32.440><c> people</c><00:13:32.840><c> to</c><00:13:33.019><c> be</c><00:13:33.159><c> safe.</c>

00:13:33.440 --> 00:13:35.740
He'd<00:13:33.539><c> like</c><00:13:33.659><c> the</c><00:13:33.840><c> people</c><00:13:34.000><c> across</c><00:13:34.279><c> the</c><00:13:34.519><c> road</c><00:13:34.799><c> and</c><00:13:35.059><c> everyone</c><00:13:35.320><c> here</c><00:13:35.620><c> to</c>

00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:40.799

00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:44.240
God<00:13:41.620><c> wants</c><00:13:41.899><c> to</c><00:13:42.019><c> be</c><00:13:42.139><c> their</c><00:13:42.360><c> saviour,</c><00:13:42.840><c> but</c><00:13:42.919><c> they</c><00:13:43.059><c> don't</c><00:13:43.240><c> want</c><00:13:43.340><c> him.</c>

00:21:14.980 --> 00:21:17.500
From<00:21:15.140><c> a</c><00:21:15.440><c> child</c><00:21:15.759><c> you've</c><00:21:16.039><c> known</c><00:21:16.160><c> the</c><00:21:16.319><c> holy</c><00:21:16.539><c> scriptures.</c>

00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:19.339
What<00:21:18.099><c> an</c><00:21:18.180><c> amazing</c><00:21:18.539><c> thing</c><00:21:18.740><c> that</c><00:21:18.960><c> is.</c>

00:21:19.619 --> 00:21:20.779
Don't<00:21:19.839><c> panic.</c>

00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.000
Just<00:21:23.160><c> keep</c><00:21:23.680><c> the</c><00:21:24.619><c> things</c><00:21:24.740><c> you've</c><00:21:25.079><c> heard,</c>

00:21:26.059 --> 00:21:27.359

00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:29.619
and<00:21:27.960><c> the</c><00:21:28.259><c> holy</c><00:21:28.460><c> scriptures</c><00:21:28.839><c> which</c><00:21:29.099><c> you've</c><00:21:29.359><c> known</c>

00:21:29.619 --> 00:21:32.039
since<00:21:29.839><c> you</c><00:21:30.000><c> were</c><00:21:30.200><c> a</c><00:21:30.339><c> baby,</c><00:21:31.160><c> Timothy.</c>

00:21:32.380 --> 00:21:34.180
Now,<00:21:32.720><c> he</c><00:21:32.799><c> didn't</c><00:21:33.000><c> literally</c><00:21:33.400><c> open</c><00:21:33.640><c> the</c><00:21:33.900><c> baby,</c>

but<00:21:34.599><c> there</c><00:21:34.799><c> he</c><00:21:34.940><c> was</c><00:21:35.099><c> on</c><00:21:35.259><c> his</c><00:21:35.539><c> mother's</c><00:21:35.960><c> knee.</c>

00:21:36.339 --> 00:21:39.400
And<00:21:36.460><c> there's</c><00:21:36.740><c> his</c><00:21:37.039><c> grandmother,</c><00:21:37.900><c> dear</c><00:21:38.039><c> old</c><00:21:38.859><c> grandmother</c>

00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:40.299
Lois<00:21:39.880><c> there.</c>

00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:42.720
And<00:21:40.980><c> this</c><00:21:41.200><c> little</c><00:21:41.440><c> child</c><00:21:41.740><c> is</c><00:21:42.000><c> brought</c><00:21:42.180><c> up</c><00:21:42.359><c> in</c><00:21:42.539><c> a</c><00:21:42.619><c> home</c>

00:21:42.720 --> 00:21:43.779
where<00:21:42.920><c> the</c><00:21:43.119><c> Bible's</c><00:21:43.599><c> read.</c>

00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:48.759
Sisters<00:21:44.440><c> never</c><00:21:45.460><c> underestimate</c><00:21:46.339><c> the</c><00:21:47.279><c> fact</c><00:21:47.519><c> that</c><00:21:47.859><c> you've</c><00:21:48.579><c> got</c>

00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:49.700
a<00:21:49.039><c> Bible</c><00:21:49.299><c> open</c>

00:21:49.700 --> 00:21:51.200
and<00:21:49.839><c> you're</c><00:21:50.039><c> doing</c><00:21:50.259><c> your</c><00:21:50.539><c> readings</c><00:21:50.759><c> at</c><00:21:51.039><c> night</c>

00:21:51.200 --> 00:21:53.480
and<00:21:51.339><c> you're</c><00:21:51.539><c> talking</c><00:21:51.759><c> the</c><00:21:51.940><c> Bible</c><00:21:52.200><c> to</c><00:21:52.420><c> your</c><00:21:52.599><c> husband</c>

00:21:53.509 --> 00:21:56.460
because<00:21:53.759><c> we</c><00:21:54.599><c> know</c><00:21:54.900><c> from</c><00:21:55.200><c> science,</c><00:21:55.720><c> let</c><00:21:55.779><c> alone</c><00:21:55.940><c> the</c><00:21:56.119><c> Bible,</c>

00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:00.359
that<00:21:56.900><c> there</c><00:21:57.180><c> is</c><00:21:57.319><c> an</c><00:21:57.519><c> influence</c><00:21:58.039><c> on</c><00:21:58.759><c> children</c><00:21:59.299><c> of</c><00:21:59.720><c> sound,</c>

00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.839

00:22:04.099 --> 00:22:08.319
The<00:22:04.599><c> atmosphere,</c><00:22:05.220><c> the</c><00:22:05.579><c> environment</c><00:22:06.200><c> governs</c><00:22:07.380><c> a</c><00:22:07.579><c> child.</c>

00:22:08.660 --> 00:22:10.579
Now,<00:22:09.240><c> when</c><00:22:09.460><c> Paul</c><00:22:09.640><c> says</c><00:22:09.839><c> from</c><00:22:10.099><c> a</c><00:22:10.319><c> baby,</c>

00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:12.519
you<00:22:10.799><c> use</c><00:22:10.980><c> the</c><00:22:11.400><c> word</c><00:22:11.579><c> child</c><00:22:11.839><c> as</c><00:22:12.000><c> a</c><00:22:12.200><c> baby</c>

00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:14.500
in<00:22:12.980><c> the</c><00:22:13.160><c> second</c><00:22:13.319><c> epistle</c><00:22:13.640><c> I'm</c><00:22:13.900><c> talking</c><00:22:14.140><c> now.</c>

00:22:14.980 --> 00:22:16.480
But<00:22:15.480><c> see</c><00:22:15.880><c> what</c><00:22:16.000><c> he's</c><00:22:16.319><c> saying.</c>

00:22:16.759 --> 00:22:18.799
Timothy,<00:22:17.019><c> you've</c><00:22:17.500><c> lived</c><00:22:17.660><c> in</c><00:22:17.839><c> the</c><00:22:18.000><c> atmosphere</c><00:22:18.259><c> of</c><00:22:18.440><c> the</c><00:22:18.559><c> Bible</c>

00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:21.079
from<00:22:19.019><c> your</c><00:22:19.259><c> grandmother,</c><00:22:19.960><c> your</c><00:22:20.200><c> mother.</c>

00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:23.920
As<00:22:21.279><c> a</c><00:22:21.380><c> little</c><00:22:21.599><c> boy,</c><00:22:22.059><c> you</c><00:22:22.180><c> saw</c><00:22:22.420><c> them</c><00:22:22.640><c> reading</c><00:22:22.859><c> the</c><00:22:23.119><c> Bible.</c>

00:22:25.500 --> 00:22:27.359
I<00:22:25.680><c> haven't</c><00:22:25.819><c> got</c><00:22:25.960><c> any</c><00:22:26.140><c> new</c><00:22:26.279><c> solutions</c><00:22:26.740><c> for</c><00:22:27.000><c> you,</c><00:22:27.240><c> Timothy.</c>

00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:28.359
That's<00:22:27.779><c> the</c><00:22:27.960><c> answer.</c>

00:22:28.740 --> 00:22:30.880
Brothers<00:22:28.880><c> and</c><00:22:29.039><c> sisters,</c><00:22:29.460><c> it's</c><00:22:29.779><c> the</c><00:22:29.859><c> answer</c><00:22:30.099><c> to</c><00:22:30.259><c> us</c><00:22:30.440><c> today.</c>

00:22:31.259 --> 00:22:34.240
We<00:22:31.420><c> shouldn't</c><00:22:31.599><c> be</c><00:22:31.839><c> looking</c><00:22:31.960><c> around</c><00:22:32.359><c> for</c><00:22:32.700><c> updates</c><00:22:33.240><c> in</c><00:22:33.599><c> the</c><00:22:33.940><c> truth,</c>

00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:35.740
new<00:22:34.660><c> revisions</c><00:22:35.059><c> of</c><00:22:35.359><c> prophecy,</c>

00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:40.700
It's<00:22:38.539><c> time</c><00:22:38.740><c> we</c><00:22:38.940><c> updated,</c><00:22:39.539><c> it's</c><00:22:39.740><c> time</c><00:22:39.980><c> we</c><00:22:40.180><c> got</c><00:22:40.339><c> modern.</c>

00:22:41.019 --> 00:22:43.359
That's<00:22:41.440><c> totally</c><00:22:41.839><c> against</c><00:22:42.279><c> what</c><00:22:42.519><c> the</c><00:22:42.740><c> apostles</c><00:22:43.039><c> taught.</c>

00:22:43.660 --> 00:22:46.000
Timothy,<00:22:44.119><c> from</c><00:22:44.319><c> a</c><00:22:44.579><c> child,</c><00:22:44.900><c> you've</c><00:22:45.180><c> had</c><00:22:45.279><c> the</c><00:22:45.519><c> solution</c><00:22:45.799><c> in</c>

00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:47.160
your<00:22:46.200><c> hand.</c>

00:22:48.059 --> 00:22:49.500
It's<00:22:48.460><c> the</c><00:22:48.559><c> answer.</c>

00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:54.319
Timothy,<00:22:52.559><c> if</c><00:22:52.759><c> you</c><00:22:52.839><c> do</c><00:22:53.059><c> this,</c><00:22:53.279><c> you'll</c><00:22:53.619><c> save</c><00:22:53.779><c> yourself</c>

00:22:54.319 --> 00:22:57.140

00:22:58.099 --> 00:22:59.579
You<00:22:58.200><c> know,</c><00:22:58.420><c> my</c><00:22:58.660><c> impression</c><00:22:59.099><c> is,</c>

00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:07.559
is<00:23:03.880><c> that</c><00:23:04.599><c> there's</c><00:23:05.680><c> a</c><00:23:05.799><c> lot</c><00:23:05.880><c> of</c><00:23:06.000><c> you</c><00:23:06.160><c> sticking</c><00:23:06.420><c> to</c><00:23:06.740><c> traditional</c><00:23:07.099><c> values.</c>

00:23:07.740 --> 00:23:09.619
You<00:23:07.900><c> know,</c><00:23:08.220><c> I</c><00:23:08.420><c> want</c><00:23:08.539><c> to</c><00:23:08.700><c> encourage</c><00:23:08.980><c> you</c><00:23:09.140><c> to</c><00:23:09.279><c> do</c><00:23:09.420><c> that.</c>

00:23:09.740 --> 00:23:11.460
Don't<00:23:10.000><c> you</c><00:23:10.240><c> shift</c><00:23:10.400><c> an</c><00:23:10.599><c> inch.</c>

00:23:13.339 --> 00:23:16.380
Don't<00:23:13.940><c> shift</c><00:23:14.160><c> a</c><00:23:14.380><c> millimetre</c><00:23:14.859><c> if</c><00:23:14.960><c> you</c><00:23:15.099><c> want</c><00:23:15.180><c> to</c><00:23:15.259><c> be</c><00:23:15.460><c> metric,</c>

00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:20.839
because<00:23:18.000><c> there's</c><00:23:18.599><c> disasters</c><00:23:19.220><c> happening</c><00:23:19.680><c> all</c><00:23:19.980><c> over</c><00:23:20.160><c> the</c><00:23:20.319><c> world</c>

00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:28.420
The<00:23:25.880><c> Proverb</c><00:23:26.079><c> says</c><00:23:26.299><c> that</c><00:23:26.500><c> the</c><00:23:26.680><c> foundations</c><00:23:27.119><c> be</c><00:23:27.380><c> removed.</c>

00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:30.140
What<00:23:28.559><c> can</c><00:23:28.740><c> the</c><00:23:28.920><c> righteous</c><00:23:29.220><c> do?</c>

00:23:32.220 --> 00:23:35.759
So,<00:23:33.180><c> we</c><00:23:33.299><c> go</c><00:23:33.460><c> to</c><00:23:33.619><c> chapter</c><00:23:33.880><c> five.</c>

Oh,<00:26:14.440><c> we're</c><00:26:14.539><c> in</c><00:26:14.640><c> big</c><00:26:14.759><c> trouble.</c>

00:26:17.359 --> 00:26:18.160
Listen<00:26:17.559><c> to</c><00:26:17.680><c> this.</c>

00:26:18.319 --> 00:26:20.279
This<00:26:18.500><c> is</c><00:26:18.700><c> Paul</c><00:26:18.859><c> just</c><00:26:19.079><c> over</c><00:26:19.279><c> the</c><00:26:19.480><c> page,</c><00:26:20.019><c> De</c><00:26:20.019><c> Titus.</c>

00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:24.420

00:26:31.460 --> 00:26:38.880
That<00:26:31.779><c> they</c><00:26:32.180><c> may</c><00:26:32.500><c> teach</c><00:26:32.940><c> the</c><00:26:33.200><c> young</c><00:26:33.380><c> women</c><00:26:33.880><c> to</c><00:26:34.380><c> be</c><00:26:34.680><c> sober,</c><00:26:38.440><c> wise,</c>

00:26:44.099 --> 00:26:45.279
There<00:26:44.200><c> was</c><00:26:44.359><c> no</c><00:26:44.519><c> difference.</c>

00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:46.819
Older<00:26:45.980><c> sisters.</c>

00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:53.279
To<00:26:47.680><c> talk</c><00:26:47.920><c> to</c><00:26:48.119><c> the</c><00:26:48.240><c> younger</c><00:26:48.420><c> sisters</c><00:26:49.599><c> about</c><00:26:51.180><c> family</c><00:26:51.920><c> life,</c>

00:26:53.940 --> 00:26:55.500
about<00:26:54.099><c> living</c><00:26:54.420><c> with</c><00:26:54.599><c> their</c><00:26:54.819><c> husbands,</c>

00:26:55.779 --> 00:26:58.700
about<00:26:55.980><c> loving</c><00:26:56.200><c> their</c><00:26:56.420><c> husbands,</c><00:26:57.420><c> their</c><00:26:57.559><c> children.</c>

00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:01.480
So,<00:27:00.339><c> like</c><00:27:00.539><c> we</c><00:27:00.740><c> were</c><00:27:00.740><c> saying</c><00:27:00.940><c> before,</c>

00:27:01.740 --> 00:27:04.240
sisters<00:27:02.140><c> have</c><00:27:02.380><c> a</c><00:27:02.640><c> great</c><00:27:02.900><c> role</c><00:27:03.180><c> to</c><00:27:03.460><c> play.</c>

00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:05.680
Paul<00:27:04.400><c> says,</c><00:27:05.180><c> I</c><00:27:05.180><c> suffer.</c>

00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:08.119
It's<00:27:06.160><c> absolutely</c><00:27:06.640><c> no</c><00:27:07.259><c> argument.</c>

00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:10.940
A<00:27:08.440><c> woman</c><00:27:09.160><c> shall</c><00:27:09.759><c> not</c><00:27:10.039><c> teach.</c>

00:27:11.519 --> 00:27:14.579
But<00:27:11.720><c> then</c><00:27:11.880><c> he</c><00:27:12.000><c> says,</c><00:27:13.400><c> the</c><00:27:13.539><c> young</c><00:27:13.700><c> women,</c><00:27:14.059><c> the</c><00:27:14.160><c> older</c><00:27:14.440><c> women,</c>

00:27:14.579 --> 00:27:16.299
don't<00:27:14.900><c> teach</c><00:27:15.299><c> the</c><00:27:15.559><c> young.</c>

00:27:17.619 --> 00:27:19.480
So,<00:27:18.500><c> if</c><00:27:18.640><c> someone</c><00:27:18.819><c> said</c><00:27:19.019><c> to</c><00:27:19.200><c> me,</c>

00:27:19.779 --> 00:27:21.700
is<00:27:19.839><c> it</c><00:27:20.039><c> right,</c><00:27:20.380><c> Des,</c><00:27:20.460><c> that</c><00:27:20.640><c> women</c><00:27:20.839><c> aren't</c><00:27:21.059><c> to</c><00:27:21.140><c> be</c><00:27:21.240><c> able</c><00:27:21.339><c> to</c><00:27:21.559><c> teach?</c>

00:27:21.700 --> 00:27:23.420
I'd<00:27:22.000><c> probably</c><00:27:22.180><c> shock</c><00:27:22.400><c> them</c><00:27:22.559><c> and</c><00:27:22.640><c> say,</c>

00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:24.220
oh,<00:27:23.740><c> no,</c><00:27:23.819><c> that's</c><00:27:24.079><c> wrong.</c>

00:27:24.259 --> 00:27:25.000
Women<00:27:24.480><c> teach.</c>

00:27:25.220 --> 00:27:26.140
They'd<00:27:25.519><c> say,</c><00:27:25.640><c> oh,</c><00:27:25.960><c> dreadful.</c>

00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:26.940
What<00:27:26.319><c> wrong</c><00:27:26.539><c> do</c><00:27:26.660><c> I</c><00:27:26.720><c> want</c><00:27:26.799><c> to</c><00:27:26.880><c> say?</c>

00:27:26.980 --> 00:27:28.000
Yes,<00:27:27.160><c> but</c><00:27:27.339><c> not</c><00:27:27.480><c> on</c><00:27:27.680><c> the</c><00:27:27.799><c> platform.</c>

00:27:28.259 --> 00:27:32.940
They<00:27:28.579><c> teach</c><00:27:29.140><c> other</c><00:27:29.660><c> sisters</c><00:27:30.160><c> how</c><00:27:31.339><c> to</c><00:27:31.559><c> be</c><00:27:31.759><c> good</c><00:27:32.019><c> mothers,</c>

00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:35.119
how<00:27:33.619><c> to</c><00:27:33.799><c> bring</c><00:27:33.920><c> up</c><00:27:34.099><c> their</c><00:27:34.319><c> children.</c>

00:27:35.339 --> 00:27:37.859
The<00:27:35.660><c> immense</c><00:27:36.099><c> experience</c><00:27:36.880><c> of</c><00:27:37.140><c> older</c><00:27:37.480><c> sisters</c>

00:27:37.859 --> 00:27:40.880
who've<00:27:38.099><c> brought</c><00:27:38.259><c> up</c><00:27:38.559><c> families</c><00:27:39.140><c> is</c><00:27:40.279><c> tremendous.</c>

00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:42.539
They've<00:27:41.200><c> been</c><00:27:41.500><c> through</c><00:27:41.680><c> it</c><00:27:41.839><c> all.</c>

00:27:42.720 --> 00:27:44.680
They've<00:27:43.240><c> seen</c><00:27:43.519><c> it</c><00:27:43.740><c> happen.</c>

00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:46.339
They've<00:27:45.460><c> seen</c><00:27:45.579><c> it</c><00:27:45.759><c> in</c><00:27:45.819><c> other</c><00:27:46.059><c> families.</c>

00:27:46.400 --> 00:27:49.460
They<00:27:46.539><c> may</c><00:27:46.759><c> have</c><00:27:46.880><c> had</c><00:27:46.980><c> to</c><00:27:47.359><c> struggle</c><00:27:47.660><c> with</c><00:27:48.000><c> difficulties</c><00:27:48.400><c> themselves.</c>

00:27:50.859 --> 00:27:53.619
The<00:27:51.079><c> elder</c><00:27:51.380><c> women</c><00:27:51.799><c> as</c><00:27:52.380><c> mothers,</c><00:27:52.920><c> says</c><00:27:53.259><c> Paul,</c>

00:27:53.900 --> 00:27:55.019
Timothy<00:27:54.180><c> and</c><00:27:54.460><c> Titus,</c>

00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:57.880
tell<00:27:55.460><c> the</c><00:27:55.660><c> older</c><00:27:55.799><c> women</c><00:27:55.980><c> to</c><00:27:56.140><c> go</c><00:27:56.240><c> and</c><00:27:56.460><c> teach</c><00:27:56.619><c> the</c><00:27:56.799><c> younger</c><00:27:57.079><c> ones.</c>

00:27:59.019 --> 00:28:01.440
So,<00:27:59.220><c> there's</c><00:27:59.519><c> roles</c><00:27:59.759><c> for</c><00:28:00.019><c> everybody</c><00:28:00.380><c> in</c><00:28:00.779><c> the</c><00:28:00.980><c> Ecclesiast.</c>

00:28:01.519 --> 00:28:04.119
Now,<00:28:01.839><c> in</c><00:28:02.039><c> chapter</c><00:28:02.240><c> five</c><00:28:02.720><c> and</c><00:28:02.920><c> verse</c><00:28:03.380><c> three,</c>

00:28:04.140 --> 00:28:08.039
we<00:28:04.259><c> get</c><00:28:04.420><c> to</c><00:28:04.559><c> this</c><00:28:04.779><c> section</c><00:28:05.019><c> which</c><00:28:05.240><c> we'll</c><00:28:05.559><c> deal</c><00:28:05.720><c> with</c><00:28:06.200><c> fairly</c><00:28:06.720><c> piecemeal</c>

00:28:08.099 --> 00:28:14.839
because<00:28:08.660><c> it</c><00:28:08.940><c> deals</c><00:28:09.339><c> with</c><00:28:12.299><c> the</c><00:28:13.000><c> widows.</c>

00:28:14.980 --> 00:28:17.500
I'll<00:28:15.220><c> just</c><00:28:15.319><c> put</c><00:28:15.460><c> up</c><00:28:15.599><c> this</c><00:28:15.759><c> summary</c><00:28:16.059><c> slide</c><00:28:16.400><c> on</c><00:28:16.599><c> the</c><00:28:16.759><c> role</c><00:28:16.900><c> of</c>

first<00:28:18.420><c> in</c><00:28:18.700><c> Paul's</c><00:28:19.079><c> teaching.</c>

00:28:19.339 --> 00:28:22.680
This<00:28:19.460><c> is</c><00:28:19.680><c> just</c><00:28:19.960><c> gleaned</c><00:28:21.220><c> from</c><00:28:21.319><c> basically</c><00:28:21.700><c> all</c><00:28:21.940><c> over</c><00:28:22.140><c> his</c><00:28:22.359><c> epistles,</c>

the<00:34:17.940><c> Ecclesiast.</c>

00:34:20.099 --> 00:34:21.360

00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:27.340

And<00:34:33.800><c> it's</c><00:34:33.900><c> as</c><00:34:34.019><c> if</c><00:34:34.119><c> God</c><00:34:34.340><c> said,</c><00:34:34.619><c> all</c><00:34:34.699><c> right,</c><00:34:34.800><c> if</c><00:34:34.920><c> you</c><00:34:35.019><c> want</c><00:34:35.119><c> to</c><00:34:35.280><c> try</c><00:34:35.420><c> a</c>

you<00:34:36.179><c> try</c><00:34:36.400><c> it,</c><00:34:36.559><c> but</c><00:34:36.659><c> I'll</c><00:34:36.960><c> tell</c><00:34:36.980><c> you,</c><00:34:37.159><c> it'll</c><00:34:37.280><c> be</c><00:34:37.320><c> a</c><00:34:37.480><c> disaster.</c>

00:34:38.099 --> 00:34:40.900

00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:45.599
Now,<00:34:43.559><c> we</c><00:34:43.659><c> come</c><00:34:43.820><c> to</c><00:34:43.980><c> Rebekah</c><00:34:44.519><c> and</c><00:34:44.760><c> Isaac,</c>

one<00:35:11.500><c> wife.</c>

00:35:11.760 --> 00:35:13.159
And<00:35:11.840><c> what</c><00:35:11.940><c> did</c><00:35:12.039><c> God</c><00:35:12.239><c> say?</c>

00:35:13.360 --> 00:35:17.800
God<00:35:13.599><c> said,</c><00:35:15.440><c> in</c><00:35:15.480><c> him,</c><00:35:16.079><c> in</c><00:35:16.400><c> Isaac</c><00:35:16.800><c> shall</c><00:35:17.039><c> my</c><00:35:17.320><c> seed</c><00:35:17.460><c> be</c><00:35:17.699><c> called.</c>

00:35:17.820 --> 00:35:21.179
That's<00:35:18.199><c> him.</c><00:35:18.860><c> He</c><00:35:19.099><c> will</c><00:35:19.300><c> be</c><00:35:19.500><c> the</c><00:35:19.659><c> one,</c><00:35:19.860><c> and</c><00:35:19.980><c> his</c><00:35:20.159><c> marriage</c><00:35:20.480><c> with</c><00:35:20.719><c> Rebekah,</c>

00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:23.780
which<00:35:21.539><c> will</c><00:35:21.800><c> exemplify</c><00:35:22.519><c> my</c><00:35:22.940><c> son.</c>

00:35:23.820 --> 00:35:26.039
The<00:35:24.059><c> seed</c><00:35:24.400><c> will</c><00:35:24.599><c> come</c><00:35:24.820><c> through</c><00:35:25.139><c> him.</c>

00:35:26.980 --> 00:35:29.599
So<00:35:27.179><c> God</c><00:35:27.360><c> has</c><00:35:27.559><c> made</c><00:35:27.659><c> it</c><00:35:27.840><c> very</c><00:35:28.099><c> clear,</c><00:35:28.599><c> one</c><00:35:28.860><c> wife,</c><00:35:29.159><c> one</c><00:35:29.440><c> man.</c>

00:35:29.639 --> 00:35:31.099
That's<00:35:29.980><c> the</c><00:35:30.159><c> ideal.</c>

00:35:31.940 --> 00:35:35.820
And<00:35:32.420><c> that's</c><00:35:32.900><c> what</c><00:35:33.059><c> Paul</c><00:35:33.300><c> says</c><00:35:33.579><c> about</c><00:35:33.940><c> those</c><00:35:34.320><c> who</c><00:35:34.599><c> stand</c><00:35:34.940><c> in</c><00:35:35.219><c> front</c><00:35:35.500><c> in</c>

00:35:36.659 --> 00:35:38.519
So<00:35:37.559><c> we're</c><00:35:37.800><c> back</c><00:35:37.980><c> to</c><00:35:38.179><c> widows.</c>

00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:42.300

00:37:36.119 --> 00:37:38.920
because<00:37:36.460><c> Paul</c><00:37:36.760><c> seems</c><00:37:37.039><c> to</c><00:37:37.219><c> be</c><00:37:37.440><c> actually</c><00:37:37.760><c> going</c><00:37:38.059><c> slightly</c><00:37:38.500><c> overboard.</c>

00:37:43.780 --> 00:37:46.840

00:38:00.800 --> 00:38:04.239
It<00:38:00.920><c> means</c><00:38:01.420><c> to</c><00:38:01.699><c> be</c><00:38:02.460><c> luxurious</c><00:38:03.219><c> and</c><00:38:03.559><c> voluptuous.</c>

00:38:04.420 --> 00:38:07.199
They're<00:38:04.539><c> very</c><00:38:04.820><c> strong</c><00:38:05.139><c> words</c><00:38:05.699><c> in</c><00:38:06.039><c> the</c><00:38:06.219><c> Greek.</c>

Now<00:38:12.800><c> you</c><00:38:12.860><c> see</c><00:38:12.940><c> what</c><00:38:13.119><c> Paul</c><00:38:13.360><c> is</c><00:38:13.559><c> doing.</c>

00:38:15.659 --> 00:38:20.920
He<00:38:15.960><c> is</c><00:38:16.159><c> making</c><00:38:16.480><c> Christ</c><00:38:16.980><c> such</c><00:38:17.460><c> a</c><00:38:17.920><c> central</c><00:38:18.639><c> figure</c><00:38:19.039><c> in</c><00:38:19.300><c> a</c><00:38:19.440><c> person's</c><00:38:19.900><c> life</c>

00:38:21.260 --> 00:38:25.380
that<00:38:21.860><c> it's</c><00:38:22.159><c> not</c><00:38:22.380><c> just</c><00:38:22.619><c> a</c><00:38:22.840><c> figure</c><00:38:23.019><c> we</c><00:38:23.340><c> ask</c><00:38:23.780><c> a</c><00:38:24.039><c> spouse</c><00:38:24.559><c> to</c><00:38:25.000><c> Christ</c>

00:38:26.320 --> 00:38:27.940
but<00:38:26.500><c> it's</c><00:38:26.739><c> a</c><00:38:26.880><c> reality.</c>

00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:33.340
Our<00:38:28.519><c> life</c><00:38:28.980><c> is</c><00:38:29.800><c> primarily</c><00:38:30.460><c> and</c><00:38:31.039><c> principally</c><00:38:31.719><c> waiting</c><00:38:32.219><c> for</c><00:38:33.039><c> Christ.</c>

00:38:33.460 --> 00:38:34.940
That's<00:38:33.659><c> what</c><00:38:33.820><c> it's</c><00:38:34.159><c> saying.</c>

00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:39.940
Now<00:38:35.219><c> the</c><00:38:35.400><c> younger</c><00:38:35.659><c> widows,</c><00:38:39.380><c> he</c><00:38:39.559><c> says,</c>

00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:45.239
the<00:38:40.340><c> fact</c><00:38:40.559><c> is</c><00:38:41.139><c> their</c><00:38:42.039><c> physical</c><00:38:42.619><c> needs</c><00:38:43.119><c> and</c><00:38:43.420><c> their</c><00:38:44.019><c> need</c><00:38:44.280><c> for</c><00:38:44.559><c> a</c><00:38:44.840><c> companion</c>

00:38:55.539 --> 00:38:59.039
Her<00:38:56.400><c> attention</c><00:38:56.860><c> will</c><00:38:57.159><c> drift</c><00:38:57.480><c> to</c><00:38:57.840><c> someone</c><00:38:58.119><c> else.</c>

00:38:59.099 --> 00:39:01.880
And<00:38:59.239><c> Christ</c><00:38:59.480><c> will</c><00:38:59.699><c> no</c><00:38:59.940><c> longer</c><00:39:00.179><c> become</c><00:39:00.619><c> the</c><00:39:01.000><c> real</c><00:39:01.539><c> center.</c>

00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:04.179
Now<00:39:02.300><c> it's</c><00:39:02.400><c> not</c><00:39:02.559><c> saying</c><00:39:02.719><c> she's</c><00:39:02.920><c> going</c><00:39:03.019><c> to</c><00:39:03.119><c> be</c><00:39:03.380><c> necessarily</c><00:39:03.980><c> a</c>

You've<00:39:10.619><c> actually</c><00:39:10.960><c> seen</c><00:39:11.239><c> this</c><00:39:11.599><c> happen</c><00:39:11.900><c> because</c><00:39:12.300><c> some</c><00:39:12.780><c> are</c>

unto<00:39:15.179><c> the</c><00:39:16.059><c> adversary,</c><00:39:17.019><c> unto</c><00:39:17.440><c> Satan.</c>

00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:21.980
So<00:39:20.340><c> they've</c><00:39:20.599><c> left</c><00:39:20.699><c> the</c><00:39:20.940><c> truth.</c>

00:39:23.239 --> 00:39:23.800
Why?

00:39:23.800 --> 00:39:26.699
Because<00:39:24.800><c> they've</c><00:39:25.420><c> looked</c><00:39:25.519><c> around</c><00:39:25.820><c> for</c><00:39:26.059><c> a</c><00:39:26.119><c> partner</c><00:39:26.280><c> outside</c>

00:39:26.699 --> 00:39:27.019
the<00:39:26.900><c> truth,</c>

00:39:27.219 --> 00:39:29.340
because<00:39:27.480><c> primarily</c><00:39:28.059><c> what</c><00:39:28.320><c> has</c><00:39:28.539><c> occupied</c><00:39:28.900><c> their</c><00:39:29.179><c> mind</c>

00:39:29.340 --> 00:39:31.880
is<00:39:29.539><c> no</c><00:39:29.800><c> longer</c><00:39:30.079><c> the</c><00:39:30.400><c> objective,</c><00:39:30.800><c> the</c><00:39:31.039><c> aim,</c><00:39:31.380><c> the</c><00:39:31.539><c> kingdom.</c>

00:39:32.239 --> 00:39:33.980
Christ,<00:39:32.679><c> Christ</c><00:39:33.019><c> is</c><00:39:33.300><c> coming.</c>

00:39:34.059 --> 00:39:37.159
I<00:39:34.320><c> want</c><00:39:34.440><c> to</c><00:39:34.599><c> be</c><00:39:35.019><c> married</c><00:39:35.400><c> and</c><00:39:35.679><c> joined</c><00:39:35.820><c> to</c><00:39:36.099><c> Christ</c><00:39:36.519><c> in</c><00:39:36.699><c> that</c><00:39:36.920><c> day</c>

00:39:37.159 --> 00:39:38.360
as<00:39:37.480><c> part</c><00:39:37.760><c> of</c><00:39:37.900><c> his</c><00:39:38.099><c> bride.</c>

00:39:38.699 --> 00:39:41.820
That<00:39:39.000><c> becomes</c><00:39:39.440><c> a</c><00:39:39.880><c> slightly</c><00:39:40.840><c> blurred</c><00:39:41.380><c> vision</c>

00:39:41.820 --> 00:39:45.280
and<00:39:42.239><c> not</c><00:39:42.800><c> quite</c><00:39:43.139><c> the</c><00:39:43.500><c> driving</c><00:39:43.780><c> force</c><00:39:44.139><c> in</c><00:39:44.340><c> their</c><00:39:44.519><c> life.</c>

00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:49.019
The<00:39:45.559><c> driving</c><00:39:45.760><c> force</c><00:39:45.980><c> in</c><00:39:46.119><c> their</c><00:39:46.280><c> life</c><00:39:46.440><c> becomes</c><00:39:46.980><c> really</c><00:39:47.599><c> to</c><00:39:47.800><c> find</c><00:39:47.940><c> a</c><00:39:48.119><c> husband.</c>

00:39:50.880 --> 00:39:53.900
And<00:39:51.400><c> some</c><00:39:51.920><c> of</c><00:39:52.039><c> them,</c><00:39:52.239><c> Paul</c><00:39:52.320><c> says,</c><00:39:52.940><c> having</c><00:39:53.139><c> condemnation</c>

00:39:53.900 --> 00:39:58.079
because<00:39:54.239><c> they've</c><00:39:54.639><c> cast</c><00:39:54.860><c> off</c><00:39:55.119><c> their</c><00:39:55.500><c> first</c><00:39:56.059><c> faith,</c><00:39:57.820><c> their</c>

first<00:39:58.559><c> faith.</c>

00:39:58.840 --> 00:40:01.420
See,<00:39:59.000><c> that's</c><00:39:59.739><c> underlining</c><00:40:00.059><c> what</c><00:40:00.219><c> I</c><00:40:00.440><c> just</c><00:40:00.679><c> said.</c>

00:40:01.659 --> 00:40:03.739
Who's<00:40:01.980><c> first</c><00:40:02.239><c> in</c><00:40:02.380><c> your</c><00:40:02.559><c> life,</c><00:40:02.800><c> Christ?</c>

00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:06.360
What's<00:40:04.739><c> first,</c><00:40:05.000><c> this</c><00:40:05.219><c> present</c><00:40:05.500><c> life?</c>

00:40:09.800 --> 00:40:12.699
Now<00:40:10.320><c> Paul</c><00:40:10.500><c> makes</c><00:40:10.760><c> other</c><00:40:11.039><c> provisions</c><00:40:11.440><c> in</c><00:40:11.699><c> 1</c><00:40:11.900><c> Corinthians</c><00:40:12.280><c> and</c><00:40:12.519><c> others</c>

00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:16.639
the<00:40:16.400><c> Lord.</c>

00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:19.360
But<00:40:16.920><c> what</c><00:40:17.119><c> he's</c><00:40:17.340><c> saying</c><00:40:17.599><c> here,</c><00:40:17.860><c> there's</c><00:40:18.059><c> a</c><00:40:18.199><c> great</c><00:40:18.360><c> danger</c>

00:40:19.760 --> 00:40:23.880
that<00:40:20.239><c> these</c><00:40:20.719><c> younger</c><00:40:20.960><c> women</c><00:40:21.139><c> will</c><00:40:21.440><c> actually</c><00:40:21.800><c> wander</c><00:40:22.159><c> off</c><00:40:22.599><c> elsewhere</c><00:40:23.219><c> into</c><00:40:23.599><c> the</c><00:40:23.780><c> world,</c>

00:40:28.380 --> 00:40:30.719
They<00:40:28.539><c> might</c><00:40:28.780><c> find</c><00:40:29.079><c> someone</c><00:40:29.280><c> they</c><00:40:29.480><c> like</c><00:40:29.679><c> outside</c><00:40:30.280><c> the</c><00:40:30.559><c> truth,</c>

00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:31.840
says<00:40:30.920><c> Paul.</c>

00:40:32.940 --> 00:40:36.219
So<00:40:33.119><c> the</c><00:40:33.300><c> ecclesiast</c><00:40:33.659><c> supporting</c><00:40:34.159><c> them,</c><00:40:34.679><c> paying</c><00:40:35.079><c> for</c><00:40:35.320><c> their</c><00:40:35.719><c> food</c>

00:40:36.219 --> 00:40:38.159

Some<00:40:40.420><c> have</c><00:40:40.599><c> already</c><00:40:40.880><c> done</c><00:40:41.099><c> it.</c>

00:40:41.699 --> 00:40:44.400
So<00:40:41.840><c> it's</c><00:40:41.960><c> not</c><00:40:42.059><c> as</c><00:40:42.199><c> though</c><00:40:42.280><c> he's</c><00:40:42.539><c> talking</c><00:40:42.960><c> nonsense</c><00:40:43.639><c> or</c><00:40:43.860><c> off</c><00:40:44.000><c> the</c><00:40:44.099><c> top</c><00:40:44.239><c> of</c>

00:40:54.480 --> 00:40:57.519

00:42:02.739 --> 00:42:04.440
It's<00:42:02.880><c> not</c><00:42:03.019><c> the</c><00:42:03.159><c> word</c><00:42:03.920><c> Satan.</c>

00:42:04.440 --> 00:42:07.659

00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:23.599

00:42:37.800 --> 00:42:40.179
So<00:42:37.980><c> it's</c><00:42:38.199><c> people.</c><00:42:39.219><c> It's</c><00:42:39.300><c> the</c><00:42:39.420><c> outside</c><00:42:39.800><c> world.</c>

00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:41.980
The<00:42:40.619><c> outside</c><00:42:40.980><c> world</c><00:42:41.159><c> will</c><00:42:41.400><c> start</c><00:42:41.659><c> criticizing.</c>

00:42:42.300 --> 00:42:43.360
Say,<00:42:42.579><c> oh,</c><00:42:42.679><c> I</c><00:42:42.679><c> see.</c>

00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:46.280
I<00:42:43.659><c> mean,</c><00:42:44.420><c> the</c><00:42:44.539><c> husband</c><00:42:45.199><c> only</c><00:42:45.480><c> died</c><00:42:45.699><c> six</c><00:42:45.920><c> months</c><00:42:46.139><c> ago.</c>

00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:47.880
Now<00:42:46.579><c> she's</c><00:42:46.900><c> gone</c><00:42:47.019><c> and</c><00:42:47.219><c> married</c><00:42:47.360><c> someone</c><00:42:47.719><c> else.</c>

00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:50.199
I<00:42:48.019><c> thought</c><00:42:48.179><c> she</c><00:42:48.340><c> was</c><00:42:48.519><c> a</c><00:42:48.639><c> Christadelphian,</c><00:42:49.320><c> you</c><00:42:49.539><c> see.</c>

00:42:50.559 --> 00:42:54.440
And<00:42:50.800><c> so</c><00:42:51.280><c> these</c><00:42:51.940><c> people</c><00:42:52.280><c> who</c><00:42:52.539><c> turn</c><00:42:52.900><c> aside,</c><00:42:53.480><c> says</c><00:42:53.579><c> Paul,</c>

00:42:54.719 --> 00:42:58.880
cause<00:42:54.980><c> those</c><00:42:55.460><c> who</c><00:42:55.719><c> are</c><00:42:55.800><c> against</c><00:42:56.159><c> us</c><00:42:56.400><c> to</c><00:42:56.699><c> speak</c><00:42:56.960><c> reproachfully.</c>

00:42:59.340 --> 00:43:01.539
Rail<00:42:59.820><c> against</c><00:43:00.239><c> us</c><00:43:00.480><c> as</c><00:43:00.599><c> it</c><00:43:00.780><c> means.</c>

00:43:02.340 --> 00:43:04.300
And<00:43:02.559><c> Timothy,</c><00:43:02.820><c> I'm</c><00:43:03.000><c> not</c><00:43:03.179><c> talking</c><00:43:03.420><c> out</c><00:43:03.619><c> of</c><00:43:03.719><c> the</c><00:43:03.820><c> top</c><00:43:03.920><c> of</c><00:43:04.059><c> my</c><00:43:04.179><c> head</c>

00:43:04.300 --> 00:43:05.400
because<00:43:04.539><c> you've</c><00:43:04.840><c> seen</c><00:43:05.019><c> this</c><00:43:05.199><c> happen.</c>

00:43:05.420 --> 00:43:07.579
Some<00:43:05.599><c> have</c><00:43:05.880><c> already</c><00:43:06.320><c> done</c><00:43:06.559><c> this.</c>

00:43:08.579 --> 00:43:12.400
So<00:43:08.840><c> don't</c><00:43:09.300><c> enroll</c><00:43:09.760><c> them</c><00:43:10.260><c> in</c><00:43:11.019><c> the</c><00:43:11.360><c> ecclesial</c><00:43:11.860><c> distribution.</c>

00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:15.199
If<00:43:12.980><c> any</c><00:43:13.239><c> man</c><00:43:13.460><c> or</c><00:43:13.579><c> woman</c><00:43:13.940><c> that</c><00:43:14.239><c> believes</c><00:43:14.579><c> have</c><00:43:14.880><c> widows,</c>

00:43:15.300 --> 00:43:17.639

00:43:22.300 --> 00:43:24.360
So<00:43:22.539><c> there's</c><00:43:22.780><c> his</c><00:43:22.960><c> rule</c><00:43:23.079><c> on</c><00:43:23.300><c> widows.</c>

00:43:24.480 --> 00:43:26.280
Register<00:43:24.880><c> them</c><00:43:25.119><c> if</c><00:43:25.300><c> they're</c><00:43:25.619><c> really</c><00:43:25.960><c> widows,</c>

00:43:26.280 --> 00:43:29.539

00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:38.340
And<00:43:35.380><c> as</c><00:43:35.579><c> I</c><00:43:35.780><c> said,</c><00:43:35.880><c> we</c><00:43:36.059><c> have</c><00:43:36.260><c> examples</c><00:43:36.699><c> of</c><00:43:36.880><c> that</c><00:43:37.039><c> in</c><00:43:37.199><c> the</c><00:43:37.280><c> New</c><00:43:37.440><c> Testament.</c>

00:43:39.179 --> 00:43:43.119
Now,<00:43:39.400><c> why</c><00:43:39.719><c> is</c><00:43:39.880><c> it</c><00:43:40.139><c> in</c><00:43:40.300><c> the</c><00:43:40.480><c> law</c><00:43:40.659><c> of</c><00:43:40.980><c> Moses</c><00:43:41.460><c> and</c><00:43:42.099><c> now</c><00:43:42.380><c> in</c><00:43:42.619><c> the</c><00:43:42.739><c> New</c><00:43:42.940><c> Testament</c>

00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:47.000
we<00:43:43.440><c> see</c><00:43:43.739><c> this</c><00:43:44.360><c> tremendous</c><00:43:45.059><c> emphasis</c><00:43:45.639><c> on</c><00:43:46.000><c> widows?</c>

00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:49.780
Jesus<00:43:47.980><c> talked</c><00:43:48.320><c> about</c><00:43:48.639><c> widows.</c>

00:43:50.019 --> 00:43:52.940
He<00:43:50.239><c> saw</c><00:43:50.420><c> the</c><00:43:50.679><c> widow</c><00:43:50.920><c> throw</c><00:43:51.239><c> in</c><00:43:51.420><c> the</c><00:43:51.579><c> might</c><00:43:51.760><c> into</c><00:43:52.000><c> the</c><00:43:52.219><c> temple</c><00:43:52.480><c> collection.</c>

He<00:43:53.400><c> always</c><00:43:54.659><c> took</c><00:43:55.159><c> great</c><00:43:55.519><c> note</c><00:43:55.679><c> of</c><00:43:55.920><c> widow.</c>

00:43:56.820 --> 00:43:59.159
Why?<00:43:57.219><c> What</c><00:43:57.360><c> is</c><00:43:57.559><c> it</c><00:43:57.719><c> about</c><00:43:57.900><c> a</c><00:43:58.159><c> widow?</c>

00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:03.739
Because,<00:44:00.860><c> for</c><00:44:00.960><c> instance,</c><00:44:01.260><c> a</c><00:44:01.539><c> widow</c><00:44:01.980><c> is</c><00:44:02.340><c> like</c><00:44:02.539><c> us.</c>

00:44:04.139 --> 00:44:10.960
She<00:44:04.500><c> is</c><00:44:05.039><c> the</c><00:44:05.219><c> most</c><00:44:07.000><c> illustrative</c><00:44:08.480><c> of</c><00:44:09.619><c> a</c><00:44:10.099><c> lover</c><00:44:10.340><c> of</c><00:44:10.599><c> the</c><00:44:10.780><c> truth</c>

00:44:11.860 --> 00:44:12.960
You<00:44:11.980><c> know</c><00:44:12.079><c> why?</c>

00:44:13.519 --> 00:44:15.500
Because<00:44:13.900><c> she's</c><00:44:14.280><c> destitute.</c>

00:44:16.380 --> 00:44:18.059
She's<00:44:16.800><c> lost</c><00:44:17.039><c> her</c><00:44:17.260><c> husband.</c>

00:44:18.739 --> 00:44:20.039
She's<00:44:19.139><c> alone.</c>

00:44:20.579 --> 00:44:22.679
She<00:44:21.099><c> relies</c><00:44:21.579><c> on</c><00:44:21.820><c> others.</c>

00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:24.260
She<00:44:23.340><c> is</c><00:44:23.539><c> not</c><00:44:23.719><c> independent.</c>

00:44:24.739 --> 00:44:26.820
She<00:44:24.860><c> is</c><00:44:25.139><c> totally</c><00:44:25.599><c> dependent.</c>

00:44:26.920 --> 00:44:28.139
That's<00:44:27.219><c> us.</c>

00:44:28.159 --> 00:44:29.300
We're<00:44:28.380><c> sinners.</c>

00:44:30.460 --> 00:44:31.099
We're<00:44:30.679><c> destitute.</c>

00:44:31.539 --> 00:44:33.019
We've<00:44:31.699><c> got</c><00:44:31.820><c> nothing</c><00:44:32.119><c> to</c><00:44:32.340><c> command</c><00:44:32.519><c> us</c><00:44:32.699><c> to</c><00:44:32.860><c> God.</c>

00:44:33.139 --> 00:44:35.179
We're<00:44:33.280><c> on</c><00:44:33.480><c> our</c><00:44:33.619><c> way</c><00:44:33.699><c> to</c><00:44:33.860><c> the</c><00:44:34.039><c> grave.</c>

00:44:36.619 --> 00:44:38.139
We're<00:44:36.920><c> dependent</c><00:44:37.360><c> upon</c><00:44:37.760><c> God.</c>

00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:39.780
We<00:44:38.739><c> desperately</c><00:44:39.219><c> need</c><00:44:39.500><c> God.</c>

00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:43.079
And<00:44:40.300><c> for</c><00:44:40.480><c> the</c><00:44:40.679><c> time</c><00:44:40.880><c> being,</c><00:44:41.000><c> we're</c><00:44:41.360><c> separated</c><00:44:41.860><c> from</c><00:44:42.099><c> our</c><00:44:42.280><c> husband.</c>

00:44:43.599 --> 00:44:45.239
He's<00:44:43.739><c> not</c><00:44:44.000><c> dead,</c><00:44:44.179><c> of</c><00:44:44.400><c> course,</c><00:44:44.519><c> he's</c><00:44:44.780><c> alive.</c>

00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:50.440
But<00:44:45.780><c> a</c><00:44:46.599><c> widow</c><00:44:47.039><c> demonstrates</c><00:44:47.840><c> that</c><00:44:48.280><c> desolation</c><00:44:49.280><c> of</c><00:44:49.639><c> one</c><00:44:49.980><c> who</c>

00:44:50.440 --> 00:44:51.760
is<00:44:50.840><c> totally</c><00:44:51.420><c> alone.</c>

00:44:52.019 --> 00:44:55.380
That's<00:44:52.239><c> why</c><00:44:52.360><c> in</c><00:44:52.480><c> the</c><00:44:52.619><c> Law</c><00:44:52.739><c> of</c><00:44:52.820><c> Moses,</c><00:44:53.420><c> there</c><00:44:53.480><c> were</c><00:44:53.840><c> strict</c><00:44:54.099><c> rules</c><00:44:54.460><c> about</c><00:44:54.880><c> the</c><00:44:55.119><c> widows.</c>

00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:57.019
They<00:44:55.699><c> had</c><00:44:55.920><c> to</c><00:44:56.119><c> leave</c><00:44:56.320><c> gleanings</c><00:44:56.760><c> for</c><00:44:56.900><c> them.</c>

00:44:57.159 --> 00:44:58.179
They<00:44:57.280><c> had</c><00:44:57.460><c> to</c><00:44:57.659><c> care</c><00:44:57.860><c> for</c><00:44:58.019><c> them.</c>

00:44:58.260 --> 00:45:00.019
They<00:44:58.380><c> had</c><00:44:58.460><c> to</c><00:44:58.659><c> treat</c><00:44:58.760><c> them</c><00:44:59.019><c> kindly.</c>

00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:04.659
There's<00:45:02.519><c> a</c><00:45:02.639><c> magnificent</c><00:45:03.300><c> passage</c><00:45:03.719><c> in</c><00:45:03.960><c> Psalm</c><00:45:04.139><c> 68.</c>

00:45:04.719 --> 00:45:06.639
Many<00:45:04.920><c> of</c><00:45:05.119><c> you</c><00:45:05.380><c> will</c><00:45:05.639><c> know</c><00:45:05.860><c> this.</c>

00:45:06.780 --> 00:45:10.239
I<00:45:07.059><c> think</c><00:45:07.320><c> this</c><00:45:07.519><c> is</c><00:45:07.679><c> one</c><00:45:07.820><c> of</c><00:45:07.880><c> the</c><00:45:08.000><c> most</c><00:45:08.340><c> powerful</c><00:45:09.039><c> preaches</c><00:45:09.539><c> of</c>

God<00:45:10.760><c> that</c><00:45:11.280><c> we</c><00:45:11.519><c> can</c><00:45:11.760><c> conjure</c><00:45:12.199><c> up.</c>

00:45:12.679 --> 00:45:15.800
You<00:45:13.679><c> know,</c><00:45:13.960><c> we've</c><00:45:14.179><c> got</c><00:45:14.280><c> lofty</c><00:45:14.920><c> themes</c><00:45:15.219><c> in</c><00:45:15.400><c> the</c><00:45:15.559><c> Bible.</c>

00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:17.880
And<00:45:16.159><c> they</c><00:45:16.400><c> are</c><00:45:17.179><c> wonderful</c><00:45:17.639><c> things.</c>

00:45:17.960 --> 00:45:18.900
We've<00:45:18.159><c> all</c><00:45:18.420><c> studied</c><00:45:18.679><c> them.</c>

00:45:18.900 --> 00:45:22.599
God<00:45:19.139><c> manifestation,</c><00:45:20.559><c> the</c><00:45:20.840><c> doctrine</c><00:45:21.139><c> of</c><00:45:21.360><c> the</c><00:45:21.519><c> name</c><00:45:21.840><c> of</c><00:45:22.239><c> God,</c>

00:45:22.880 --> 00:45:23.860
of<00:45:22.960><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:45:24.360 --> 00:45:28.280
But<00:45:24.440><c> you</c><00:45:24.599><c> know,</c><00:45:27.179><c> what</c><00:45:27.320><c> is</c><00:45:27.679><c> the</c><00:45:27.880><c> name?</c>

00:45:28.440 --> 00:45:29.780
He<00:45:28.820><c> who</c><00:45:29.099><c> will</c><00:45:29.360><c> be.</c>

00:45:32.519 --> 00:45:33.800
Moses<00:45:32.800><c> said,</c><00:45:33.139><c> show</c><00:45:33.260><c> me</c><00:45:33.420><c> your</c><00:45:33.599><c> glory.</c>

00:45:35.440 --> 00:45:36.980
I'll<00:45:35.659><c> declare</c><00:45:35.940><c> my</c><00:45:36.179><c> name.</c>

00:45:37.019 --> 00:45:39.199
I<00:45:37.239><c> am</c><00:45:37.619><c> he</c><00:45:37.920><c> who</c><00:45:38.139><c> will</c><00:45:38.360><c> be.</c>

Merciful,<00:45:40.380><c> gracious,</c><00:45:41.199><c> long</c><00:45:41.420><c>-suffering.</c>

00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:53.400
That's<00:45:52.639><c> the</c><00:45:52.820><c> important</c><00:45:53.159><c> point.</c>

00:45:53.659 --> 00:45:55.679

00:46:27.780 --> 00:46:34.420
No,<00:46:28.139><c> we're</c><00:46:28.320><c> saying,</c><00:46:29.840><c> let</c><00:46:29.880><c> us</c><00:46:30.219><c> praise</c><00:46:30.960><c> God</c><00:46:31.559><c> for</c><00:46:32.800><c> his</c><00:46:33.719><c> merciful</c>

00:46:35.460 --> 00:46:39.820
This<00:46:35.659><c> character</c><00:46:36.260><c> who</c><00:46:36.679><c> looks</c><00:46:36.880><c> after</c><00:46:37.239><c> the</c><00:46:37.500><c> lonely,</c><00:46:38.039><c> the</c><00:46:38.280><c> fatherless,</c><00:46:38.780><c> the</c><00:46:38.940><c> widows,</c><00:46:39.280><c> who's</c><00:46:39.480><c> put</c><00:46:39.639><c> us</c>

00:46:40.699 --> 00:46:45.340
When<00:46:41.500><c> we</c><00:46:41.679><c> were</c><00:46:42.019><c> desolate</c><00:46:42.820><c> and</c><00:46:43.619><c> lost</c><00:46:44.119><c> and</c><00:46:44.960><c> sinners.</c>

00:47:19.500 --> 00:47:21.400
So<00:47:19.739><c> that's</c><00:47:19.940><c> why</c><00:47:20.159><c> Paul</c><00:47:20.400><c> writes</c><00:47:20.760><c> this</c><00:47:21.079><c> way.</c>

00:47:35.059 --> 00:47:38.219
They've<00:47:35.579><c> lost</c><00:47:35.780><c> the</c><00:47:35.980><c> fact</c><00:47:36.119><c> that</c><00:47:36.300><c> he</c><00:47:36.500><c> looks</c><00:47:36.739><c> after</c><00:47:37.119><c> the</c><00:47:37.360><c> lonely.</c>

00:55:09.920 --> 00:55:13.500
In<00:55:10.559><c> the</c><00:55:10.699><c> worst</c><00:55:10.900><c> case,</c><00:55:11.719><c> maybe</c><00:55:11.860><c> fellowship</c><00:55:12.199><c> is</c><00:55:12.440><c> withdrawn.</c>

00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:16.900
Again,<00:55:14.480><c> fellowship</c><00:55:14.519><c> is</c><00:55:14.900><c> really,</c><00:55:15.380><c> disfellowship</c><00:55:16.079><c> is</c><00:55:16.340><c> really</c>

a<00:55:17.239><c> mechanism</c><00:55:17.659><c> that</c><00:55:17.960><c> they</c><00:55:18.159><c> might</c><00:55:18.639><c> learn,</c><00:55:20.559><c> as</c><00:55:20.659><c> Paul</c><00:55:20.940><c> said</c><00:55:21.139><c> in</c><00:55:21.380><c> an</c>

00:55:23.059 --> 00:55:26.260
And<00:55:23.239><c> they</c><00:55:23.380><c> should</c><00:55:23.639><c> be</c><00:55:24.139><c> received</c><00:55:24.380><c> back</c><00:55:24.739><c> if</c><00:55:24.940><c> there's</c><00:55:25.219><c> true</c><00:55:25.440><c> repentance</c><00:55:25.960><c> and</c>

a<00:55:26.500><c> remedy</c><00:55:26.800><c> of</c><00:55:27.059><c> the</c><00:55:27.320><c> problem.</c>

00:55:29.880 --> 00:55:31.599
So<00:55:30.059><c> they're</c><00:55:30.360><c> open,</c><00:55:30.800><c> folks.</c>

00:55:31.639 --> 00:55:36.880
In<00:55:31.780><c> a</c><00:55:31.980><c> way,</c><00:55:33.039><c> in</c><00:55:33.179><c> a</c><00:55:33.320><c> way,</c><00:55:34.619><c> there's</c><00:55:35.699><c> a</c><00:55:35.940><c> benefit</c><00:55:36.340><c> in</c><00:55:36.539><c> that.</c>

00:55:37.340 --> 00:55:38.699
I<00:55:37.400><c> mean,</c><00:55:37.579><c> everything's</c><00:55:38.079><c> out</c><00:55:38.199><c> in</c><00:55:38.300><c> the</c><00:55:38.500><c> open.</c>

00:55:38.699 --> 00:55:41.260
If<00:55:39.019><c> a</c><00:55:39.199><c> person</c><00:55:39.539><c> has</c><00:55:39.820><c> sinned</c><00:55:40.159><c> and</c><00:55:40.320><c> has</c><00:55:40.440><c> perhaps</c><00:55:40.659><c> been</c><00:55:40.860><c> withdrawn</c>

00:55:41.260 --> 00:55:43.179
from<00:55:41.500><c> for</c><00:55:41.619><c> a</c><00:55:41.619><c> while</c><00:55:41.980><c> and</c><00:55:42.119><c> then</c><00:55:42.219><c> they</c><00:55:42.340><c> come</c><00:55:42.500><c> back</c><00:55:42.659><c> to</c><00:55:42.780><c> the</c><00:55:42.940><c> truth</c>

00:55:43.179 --> 00:55:46.579
and<00:55:43.500><c> they've</c><00:55:43.780><c> really</c><00:55:44.119><c> learnt</c><00:55:44.280><c> their</c><00:55:44.519><c> lesson,</c><00:55:45.019><c> and</c><00:55:45.019><c> I've</c><00:55:46.380><c> seen</c>

00:55:46.579 --> 00:55:48.019
this<00:55:46.800><c> happen</c><00:55:47.059><c> in</c><00:55:47.280><c> a</c><00:55:47.340><c> collegial</c><00:55:47.639><c> life,</c>

00:55:48.420 --> 00:55:51.500
and<00:55:48.599><c> they've</c><00:55:48.860><c> really</c><00:55:49.159><c> become</c><00:55:49.500><c> very,</c><00:55:50.000><c> very</c><00:55:50.760><c> useful</c><00:55:51.159><c> members</c>

00:55:51.500 --> 00:55:52.139
of<00:55:51.699><c> the</c><00:55:51.860><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:55:52.260 --> 00:55:54.820
And<00:55:52.420><c> they've</c><00:55:52.639><c> really</c><00:55:53.000><c> learnt</c><00:55:53.159><c> their</c><00:55:53.380><c> lesson</c><00:55:53.659><c> and</c><00:55:53.780><c> they're</c><00:55:54.019><c> very</c><00:55:54.400><c> regretful</c><00:55:54.800><c> of</c>

00:55:54.820 --> 00:55:56.840
what<00:55:55.000><c> happened</c><00:55:55.340><c> so</c><00:55:55.579><c> nice</c><00:55:55.820><c> years</c><00:55:56.400><c> ago.</c>

00:55:57.199 --> 00:56:00.199
And<00:55:57.440><c> after</c><00:55:57.719><c> a</c><00:55:57.800><c> while,</c><00:55:57.840><c> people</c><00:55:58.139><c> forget</c><00:55:58.539><c> entirely</c><00:55:59.019><c> about</c><00:55:59.380><c> it.</c>

00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:04.119
That's<00:56:00.880><c> a</c><00:56:01.059><c> great</c><00:56:01.320><c> benefit</c><00:56:01.780><c> because</c><00:56:02.920><c> the</c><00:56:03.219><c> sin's</c><00:56:03.500><c> been</c><00:56:03.760><c> opened.</c>

00:56:04.199 --> 00:56:07.900
It's<00:56:04.480><c> gone</c><00:56:04.679><c> beforehand</c><00:56:05.880><c> to</c><00:56:07.599><c> judgment.</c>

00:56:07.900 --> 00:56:12.619
Won't<00:56:08.480><c> be</c><00:56:08.659><c> any</c><00:56:08.840><c> surprise</c><00:56:09.820><c> if</c><00:56:10.659><c> the</c><00:56:10.820><c> judgment's</c><00:56:11.320><c> there.</c>

00:56:12.659 --> 00:56:14.539
Christ<00:56:12.960><c> might</c><00:56:13.460><c> raise</c><00:56:13.780><c> that,</c><00:56:14.000><c> he</c><00:56:14.099><c> might</c><00:56:14.360><c> not.</c>

00:56:14.639 --> 00:56:15.519
But<00:56:14.820><c> it's</c><00:56:14.960><c> no</c><00:56:15.119><c> surprise.</c>

00:56:15.639 --> 00:56:16.760
Everybody<00:56:15.960><c> knows</c><00:56:16.300><c> about</c><00:56:16.559><c> that.</c>

00:56:16.920 --> 00:56:18.059
It<00:56:16.920><c> was</c><00:56:17.019><c> dealt</c><00:56:17.239><c> with.</c>

00:56:18.420 --> 00:56:20.820
Some<00:56:18.699><c> men,</c><00:56:18.920><c> however,</c><00:56:19.500><c> follow</c><00:56:19.840><c> after.</c>

00:56:25.000 --> 00:56:28.360
Now,<00:56:25.519><c> that's</c><00:56:26.039><c> the</c><00:56:26.280><c> worrying</c><00:56:26.539><c> one</c><00:56:26.760><c> because,</c><00:56:27.860><c> you</c><00:56:28.119><c> know,</c><00:56:28.199><c> when</c>

00:56:28.360 --> 00:56:31.559
it<00:56:28.480><c> comes</c><00:56:28.760><c> up</c><00:56:29.420><c> and</c><00:56:29.820><c> it's</c><00:56:30.019><c> never</c><00:56:30.260><c> been</c><00:56:30.579><c> revealed,</c>

00:56:31.639 --> 00:56:34.599
this<00:56:31.780><c> was</c><00:56:32.340><c> David's</c><00:56:33.059><c> problem,</c><00:56:33.340><c> wasn't</c><00:56:33.440><c> it?</c>

00:56:35.239 --> 00:56:39.159
He,<00:56:36.940><c> for</c><00:56:37.099><c> a</c><00:56:37.119><c> long</c><00:56:37.400><c> time,</c><00:56:37.659><c> for</c><00:56:37.820><c> three</c><00:56:37.980><c> months,</c><00:56:38.400><c> tried</c><00:56:38.619><c> to</c><00:56:38.840><c> hide</c>

00:56:39.159 --> 00:56:40.920
that<00:56:39.900><c> sin.</c>

00:56:41.019 --> 00:56:43.139
It<00:56:41.420><c> caused</c><00:56:41.539><c> him</c><00:56:41.780><c> tremendous</c><00:56:42.119><c> agony.</c>

00:56:43.679 --> 00:56:46.019
When<00:56:43.840><c> it</c><00:56:43.940><c> came</c><00:56:44.139><c> out</c><00:56:44.320><c> in</c><00:56:44.400><c> the</c><00:56:44.559><c> open,</c><00:56:44.860><c> as</c><00:56:45.019><c> he</c><00:56:45.239><c> says</c><00:56:45.340><c> in</c><00:56:45.500><c> those</c><00:56:45.780><c> two</c>

00:56:46.019 --> 00:56:47.380
Psalms,<00:56:46.380><c> it</c><00:56:46.460><c> was</c><00:56:46.639><c> much</c><00:56:46.880><c> better.</c>

00:56:47.880 --> 00:56:49.159
People<00:56:48.159><c> learnt.</c>

00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:51.920
It<00:56:49.659><c> was</c><00:56:49.860><c> a</c><00:56:49.980><c> great</c><00:56:50.099><c> example</c><00:56:50.519><c> to</c><00:56:50.679><c> other</c><00:56:50.880><c> people.</c>

00:56:53.940 --> 00:56:57.480
And<00:56:54.199><c> if</c><00:56:54.300><c> it</c><00:56:54.440><c> didn't</c><00:56:54.599><c> come</c><00:56:54.860><c> out,</c><00:56:56.159><c> then</c><00:56:56.260><c> it</c><00:56:56.420><c> would</c><00:56:56.519><c> have.</c>

00:56:57.679 --> 00:56:59.039
And<00:56:57.840><c> it</c><00:56:57.900><c> would</c><00:56:58.039><c> have</c><00:56:58.099><c> at</c><00:56:58.219><c> the</c><00:56:58.420><c> judgment</c><00:56:58.679><c> seat.</c>

00:56:59.340 --> 00:57:00.260
Same<00:56:59.519><c> with</c><00:56:59.719><c> our</c><00:56:59.900><c> sins.</c>

00:57:00.260 --> 00:57:02.000
Better<00:57:01.039><c> to</c><00:57:01.219><c> get</c><00:57:01.300><c> them</c><00:57:01.519><c> out.</c>

00:57:02.380 --> 00:57:04.280
Confess<00:57:02.480><c> them</c><00:57:02.599><c> to</c><00:57:02.800><c> God.</c>

00:57:05.239 --> 00:57:07.639
In<00:57:05.320><c> some</c><00:57:05.500><c> cases,</c><00:57:05.960><c> it</c><00:57:05.960><c> says,</c><00:57:06.420><c> Paul,</c><00:57:06.679><c> confess</c><00:57:07.039><c> your</c><00:57:07.239><c> faults</c><00:57:07.440><c> one</c>

Get<00:57:09.320><c> them</c><00:57:09.579><c> out.</c>

00:57:10.300 --> 00:57:12.039
Deal<00:57:10.519><c> with</c><00:57:10.719><c> them.</c>

00:57:12.300 --> 00:57:17.460
Likewise,<00:57:13.199><c> also,</c><00:57:13.599><c> the</c><00:57:13.780><c> good</c><00:57:13.980><c> works</c><00:57:14.599><c> of</c><00:57:14.960><c> some</c><00:57:15.300><c> are</c><00:57:16.019><c> manifest</c><00:57:16.340><c> beforehand.</c>

00:57:20.019 --> 00:57:22.719
So<00:57:20.420><c> we</c><00:57:20.679><c> know</c><00:57:20.980><c> there</c><00:57:21.139><c> are</c><00:57:21.199><c> people</c><00:57:21.440><c> in</c><00:57:21.619><c> our</c><00:57:21.820><c> ecclesias</c><00:57:22.280><c> who</c><00:57:22.480><c> do</c>

00:57:24.260 --> 00:57:25.519
It's<00:57:24.619><c> open.</c>

00:57:26.420 --> 00:57:27.860
And<00:57:26.579><c> we</c><00:57:26.699><c> love</c><00:57:26.900><c> them</c><00:57:27.159><c> for</c><00:57:27.300><c> it.</c>

00:57:29.719 --> 00:57:33.400
And<00:57:30.219><c> then</c><00:57:30.360><c> there's</c><00:57:30.619><c> other</c><00:57:31.440><c> works</c><00:57:32.000><c> in</c><00:57:32.139><c> the</c><00:57:32.320><c> truth</c><00:57:32.460><c> where</c><00:57:33.199><c> the</c>

00:57:47.800 --> 00:57:49.659
You<00:57:47.820><c> know</c><00:57:48.019><c> if</c><00:57:48.159><c> one</c><00:57:48.260><c> of</c><00:57:48.340><c> the</c><00:57:48.460><c> brothers</c><00:57:48.639><c> and</c><00:57:48.860><c> sisters</c><00:57:49.119><c> have</c><00:57:49.519><c> done</c>

00:57:50.760 --> 00:57:55.820
they<00:57:50.900><c> don't</c><00:57:52.440><c> want</c><00:57:52.440><c> necessarily</c><00:57:53.380><c> the</c><00:57:53.920><c> praise</c><00:57:54.400><c> or</c><00:57:54.820><c> that</c><00:57:55.079><c> to</c><00:57:55.239><c> come</c><00:57:55.420><c> to</c><00:57:55.579><c> light.</c>

00:58:00.820 --> 00:58:01.900
They<00:58:01.079><c> all</c><00:58:01.280><c> won't</c><00:58:01.460><c> be</c><00:58:01.699><c> hid.</c>

00:58:02.019 --> 00:58:06.099
Because<00:58:02.239><c> one</c><00:58:02.460><c> day,</c><00:58:03.340><c> one</c><00:58:03.579><c> day</c><00:58:03.840><c> the</c><00:58:04.000><c> Lord</c><00:58:04.239><c> will</c><00:58:04.500><c> say,</c><00:58:05.340><c> well</c><00:58:05.519><c> done,</c><00:58:05.960><c> good</c>

00:58:06.099 --> 00:58:07.780
and<00:58:06.280><c> faithful</c><00:58:06.579><c> servant.</c>

00:58:07.800 --> 00:58:09.300
But<00:58:08.039><c> Lord,</c><00:58:08.260><c> when</c><00:58:08.480><c> did</c><00:58:08.619><c> we</c><00:58:08.780><c> do</c><00:58:08.960><c> this?</c>

00:58:09.800 --> 00:58:11.820
I<00:58:10.019><c> don't</c><00:58:10.179><c> remember</c><00:58:10.440><c> doing</c><00:58:10.659><c> this,</c><00:58:11.039><c> Lord.</c>

00:58:12.579 --> 00:58:16.739
When<00:58:12.800><c> you</c><00:58:13.079><c> did</c><00:58:13.260><c> it</c><00:58:13.460><c> under</c><00:58:13.639><c> the</c><00:58:13.880><c> lease</c><00:58:14.500><c> of</c><00:58:16.119><c> my</c><00:58:16.360><c> little</c><00:58:16.559><c> brother.</c>

00:58:16.820 --> 00:58:18.380
You<00:58:17.000><c> did</c><00:58:17.159><c> it</c><00:58:17.300><c> under</c><00:58:17.460><c> me.</c>

00:58:19.280 --> 00:58:22.420
And<00:58:19.420><c> we'll</c><00:58:19.639><c> go,</c><00:58:21.139><c> oh</c><00:58:21.380><c> yes,</c><00:58:21.679><c> Lord,</c><00:58:21.780><c> I</c><00:58:22.019><c> remember</c><00:58:22.219><c> that.</c>

00:58:22.420 --> 00:58:25.780
But<00:58:22.599><c> that</c><00:58:23.000><c> was</c><00:58:23.219><c> just,</c><00:58:23.940><c> I</c><00:58:24.139><c> loved</c><00:58:24.360><c> that</c><00:58:24.599><c> brother</c><00:58:24.780><c> and</c><00:58:24.780><c> sister</c><00:58:25.139><c> and</c><00:58:25.300><c> they</c><00:58:25.460><c> were</c><00:58:25.619><c> in</c>

00:58:25.780 --> 00:58:27.119
trouble<00:58:25.980><c> and</c><00:58:26.159><c> I</c><00:58:26.500><c> just</c><00:58:26.800><c> did</c><00:58:26.980><c> it.</c>

00:58:27.179 --> 00:58:30.500
I<00:58:27.179><c> mean,</c><00:58:27.420><c> it's</c><00:58:27.559><c> the</c><00:58:27.659><c> sort</c><00:58:27.800><c> of</c><00:58:27.960><c> thing</c><00:58:28.440><c> you</c><00:58:29.179><c> would</c><00:58:29.360><c> have</c><00:58:29.500><c> done,</c><00:58:29.840><c> Lord.</c>

00:58:30.559 --> 00:58:33.059
Exactly,<00:58:31.199><c> of</c><00:58:31.320><c> course,</c><00:58:32.039><c> that's</c><00:58:32.300><c> why.</c>

00:58:33.199 --> 00:58:34.539
Yes,<00:58:33.440><c> I</c><00:58:33.599><c> would</c><00:58:33.780><c> have</c><00:58:33.960><c> done</c><00:58:34.159><c> that.</c>

00:58:34.940 --> 00:58:35.739
And<00:58:35.159><c> you</c><00:58:35.320><c> did</c><00:58:35.460><c> it.</c>

00:58:35.739 --> 00:58:37.139
And<00:58:35.920><c> you</c><00:58:36.039><c> did</c><00:58:36.239><c> not</c><00:58:36.400><c> expect</c><00:58:36.760><c> praise.</c>

00:58:37.260 --> 00:58:38.679
You<00:58:37.380><c> didn't</c><00:58:37.579><c> even</c><00:58:37.880><c> want</c><00:58:38.019><c> it</c><00:58:38.139><c> to</c><00:58:38.300><c> be</c><00:58:38.460><c> revealed.</c>

00:58:38.860 --> 00:58:41.380
Nobody<00:58:39.119><c> knew</c><00:58:39.400><c> about</c><00:58:39.639><c> that,</c><00:58:39.820><c> but</c><00:58:39.980><c> I</c><00:58:40.239><c> saw</c><00:58:40.420><c> it.</c>

00:58:41.800 --> 00:58:43.000
And<00:58:42.099><c> I</c><00:58:42.280><c> commend</c><00:58:42.519><c> it.</c>

00:58:43.500 --> 00:58:48.000
So<00:58:43.739><c> we</c><00:58:44.000><c> see</c><00:58:44.219><c> those</c><00:58:45.440><c> groups</c><00:58:46.079><c> in</c><00:58:46.320><c> Ecclesia,</c><00:58:47.119><c> some</c><00:58:47.400><c> with</c><00:58:47.699><c> open</c>

00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:50.760
faults<00:58:48.340><c> that</c><00:58:48.559><c> are</c><00:58:48.679><c> dealt</c><00:58:48.860><c> with</c><00:58:49.860><c> before</c><00:58:50.280><c> the</c><00:58:50.519><c> judgment,</c>

00:58:50.760 --> 00:58:54.099
they're<00:58:50.980><c> quite</c><00:58:51.219><c> open</c><00:58:51.739><c> and</c><00:58:52.460><c> therefore</c><00:58:52.920><c> there's</c><00:58:53.280><c> a</c><00:58:53.440><c> great</c><00:58:53.619><c> chance</c><00:58:53.880><c> of</c>

00:58:54.099 --> 00:58:56.760
remedy<00:58:54.500><c> and</c><00:58:55.000><c> no</c><00:58:55.139><c> permanent</c><00:58:55.500><c> harm</c><00:58:55.719><c> is</c><00:58:55.960><c> done.</c>

00:58:56.920 --> 00:59:00.500
There's<00:58:57.059><c> the</c><00:58:57.280><c> deceitful</c><00:58:57.820><c> hypocrites</c><00:58:58.480><c> who</c><00:58:58.920><c> hide</c><00:58:59.320><c> their</c><00:58:59.619><c> faults.</c>

00:59:01.699 --> 00:59:02.800
They<00:59:01.920><c> can't</c><00:59:02.199><c> be</c><00:59:02.340><c> hidden</c><00:59:02.460><c> forever.</c>

00:59:02.960 --> 00:59:04.340
They'll<00:59:03.099><c> come</c><00:59:03.219><c> out</c><00:59:03.380><c> the</c><00:59:03.539><c> judgment.</c>

00:59:04.840 --> 00:59:09.179
Thirdly,<00:59:05.300><c> there's</c><00:59:05.460><c> the</c><00:59:05.639><c> open</c><00:59:05.820><c> good</c><00:59:06.059><c> works,</c><00:59:08.480><c> which</c><00:59:08.820><c> everybody</c>

00:59:09.179 --> 00:59:12.099
can<00:59:09.500><c> see</c><00:59:09.699><c> around</c><00:59:09.960><c> the</c><00:59:10.159><c> Ecclesial</c><00:59:11.079><c> environment.</c>

00:59:12.420 --> 00:59:14.679
And<00:59:12.679><c> we</c><00:59:12.880><c> honour</c><00:59:13.119><c> people</c><00:59:13.420><c> for</c><00:59:13.619><c> that</c><00:59:13.780><c> and</c><00:59:13.920><c> we</c><00:59:14.059><c> thank</c><00:59:14.219><c> them.</c>

00:59:15.139 --> 00:59:18.519
And<00:59:15.360><c> then</c><00:59:15.480><c> there's</c><00:59:15.659><c> the</c><00:59:15.900><c> quiet,</c><00:59:16.400><c> modest</c><00:59:16.639><c> works,</c><00:59:16.940><c> which</c><00:59:17.119><c> nobody</c><00:59:17.460><c> knows</c><00:59:17.800><c> about.</c>

00:59:18.519 --> 00:59:20.059
Paul<00:59:18.960><c> says</c><00:59:19.239><c> they</c><00:59:19.480><c> can't</c><00:59:19.739><c> be</c><00:59:19.920><c> here.</c>

00:59:20.199 --> 00:59:22.460
They'll<00:59:20.280><c> come</c><00:59:20.440><c> out</c><00:59:20.599><c> one</c><00:59:20.820><c> day</c><00:59:21.119><c> and</c><00:59:21.440><c> the</c><00:59:21.539><c> Lord</c><00:59:21.679><c> will</c><00:59:21.940><c> commend</c><00:59:22.139><c> us</c>

00:59:22.460 --> 00:59:23.420
for<00:59:22.679><c> it.</c>

00:59:23.659 --> 00:59:26.599
So,<00:59:23.920><c> brothers</c><00:59:24.039><c> and</c><00:59:24.219><c> sisters,</c><00:59:24.920><c> that</c><00:59:25.199><c> middle</c><00:59:25.559><c> section</c><00:59:25.980><c> of</c><00:59:26.360><c> the</c>

00:59:26.599 --> 00:59:28.579
epistle<00:59:26.920><c> is</c><00:59:27.440><c> extremely</c><00:59:28.000><c> practical.</c>

00:59:28.880 --> 00:59:31.980
We've<00:59:29.099><c> seen</c><00:59:29.480><c> Paul's</c><00:59:30.119><c> instructions</c><00:59:30.480><c> about</c><00:59:31.360><c> widows.</c>

00:59:32.199 --> 00:59:38.139
We've<00:59:32.219><c> seen</c><00:59:32.659><c> what</c><00:59:33.960><c> the</c><00:59:34.639><c> widows,</c><00:59:36.579><c> their</c><00:59:37.019><c> qualifications</c><00:59:37.760><c> are</c>

00:59:38.139 --> 00:59:40.280
remarkably<00:59:38.619><c> similar</c><00:59:39.099><c> to</c><00:59:39.300><c> the</c><00:59:39.599><c> elders,</c><00:59:39.900><c> actually.</c>

00:59:40.340 --> 00:59:43.219
I<00:59:40.400><c> mean,</c><00:59:40.559><c> it's</c><00:59:41.119><c> common</c><00:59:41.400><c> across</c><00:59:41.780><c> the</c><00:59:42.000><c> whole</c><00:59:42.420><c> Ecclesial</c><00:59:42.800><c> spectrum.</c>

00:59:43.659 --> 00:59:46.420
We've<00:59:44.019><c> seen</c><00:59:44.219><c> what</c><00:59:44.460><c> the</c><00:59:44.820><c> young</c><00:59:45.079><c> sisters,</c><00:59:45.579><c> the</c><00:59:45.800><c> older</c><00:59:46.059><c> sisters,</c>

their<00:59:46.800><c> role.</c>

00:59:47.199 --> 00:59:54.139
We've<00:59:47.960><c> seen</c><00:59:48.199><c> that,</c><00:59:49.000><c> you</c><00:59:49.280><c> know,</c><00:59:51.300><c> great</c><00:59:51.380><c> strength</c><00:59:53.059><c> of</c><00:59:53.260><c> the</c><00:59:53.480><c> flesh</c><00:59:53.699><c> that</c>

00:59:54.139 --> 00:59:56.559
