Now<00:03:20.139><c> that</c><00:03:20.219><c> doesn't</c><00:03:20.460><c> mean</c><00:03:20.620><c> we're</c><00:03:20.879><c> elevated</c><00:03:21.280><c> from</c><00:03:21.500><c> the</c><00:03:21.719><c> practicalities</c><00:03:22.300><c> of</c><00:03:22.539><c> earth,</c>

00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:31.000

00:11:51.659 --> 00:11:54.120
He<00:11:51.779><c> says,</c><00:11:52.379><c> therefore,</c><00:11:52.659><c> my</c><00:11:52.720><c> brethren,</c><00:11:53.279><c> dearly</c><00:11:53.620><c> beloved</c>

00:12:03.860 --> 00:12:06.039
You'd<00:12:04.159><c> probably</c><00:12:04.379><c> think</c><00:12:04.580><c> you'd</c><00:12:05.000><c> been</c><00:12:05.200><c> out</c><00:12:05.399><c> the</c><00:12:05.500><c> night</c><00:12:05.659><c> before</c>

00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:11.639
See,<00:12:10.480><c> he</c><00:12:10.740><c> meant</c><00:12:10.960><c> those</c><00:12:11.379><c> words.</c>

00:12:11.700 --> 00:12:14.000
He<00:12:12.019><c> really</c><00:12:12.399><c> meant</c><00:12:12.659><c> those</c><00:12:13.100><c> words.</c>

Perhaps<00:12:22.899><c> we</c><00:12:23.120><c> just</c><00:12:23.419><c> don't</c><00:12:23.700><c> value</c><00:12:24.039><c> our</c><00:12:24.279><c> brothers</c><00:12:24.539><c> and</c><00:12:24.779><c> sisters</c><00:12:25.059><c> enough.</c>

00:12:26.259 --> 00:12:28.399
And<00:12:26.399><c> if</c><00:12:26.500><c> that's</c><00:12:26.759><c> the</c><00:12:26.940><c> case,</c><00:12:27.379><c> then</c><00:12:27.539><c> read,</c><00:12:27.980><c> read,</c>

00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.139

00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:34.039
My<00:12:31.639><c> brethren,</c><00:12:32.399><c> my</c><00:12:32.519><c> dearly</c><00:12:32.899><c> beloved,</c><00:12:33.539><c> longed</c><00:12:33.820><c> for,</c>

00:12:34.120 --> 00:12:37.000
you're<00:12:34.259><c> my</c><00:12:34.620><c> joy,</c><00:12:34.919><c> you're</c><00:12:35.039><c> my</c><00:12:35.320><c> crowning</c><00:12:35.779><c> glory,</c><00:12:36.019><c> he</c><00:12:36.220><c> says.</c>

00:12:37.100 --> 00:12:38.320
Stand<00:12:37.580><c> fast</c><00:12:37.960><c> in</c><00:12:38.059><c> the</c><00:12:38.179><c> Lord.</c>

00:12:38.379 --> 00:12:40.340
There<00:12:38.559><c> it</c><00:12:38.700><c> is,</c><00:12:38.799><c> that</c><00:12:38.919><c> military</c><00:12:39.360><c> term</c><00:12:39.519><c> again.</c>

00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:41.639
Stand<00:12:40.559><c> your</c><00:12:40.759><c> ground.</c>

00:12:41.879 --> 00:12:42.779

00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:46.399
Be<00:12:43.440><c> ready</c><00:12:43.720><c> to</c><00:12:44.220><c> ward</c><00:12:44.399><c> off</c><00:12:44.620><c> the</c><00:12:44.840><c> encroaches</c><00:12:45.399><c> of</c><00:12:45.980><c> the</c><00:12:46.120><c> devil</c>

00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:49.159
and<00:12:46.559><c> of</c><00:12:46.580><c> the</c><00:12:47.279><c> influences</c><00:12:47.720><c> of</c><00:12:47.960><c> the</c><00:12:48.080><c> world</c><00:12:48.340><c> in</c><00:12:48.559><c> every</c><00:12:48.919><c> way</c>

00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:50.940
to<00:12:49.340><c> try</c><00:12:49.480><c> and</c><00:12:49.700><c> break</c><00:12:50.000><c> down</c><00:12:50.279><c> the</c><00:12:50.399><c> catalysis</c>

00:12:50.940 --> 00:12:53.059

00:12:53.539 --> 00:12:54.899
So<00:12:53.700><c> he</c><00:12:53.899><c> warns.</c>

00:12:55.299 --> 00:12:57.240
Now<00:12:55.399><c> he</c><00:12:55.500><c> says,</c><00:12:55.860><c> look,</c><00:12:56.299><c> brethren,</c>

00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:00.980
I<00:12:57.580><c> beseech</c><00:12:57.820><c> you</c><00:12:57.980><c> now,</c><00:12:58.299><c> sisters,</c><00:12:58.659><c> Euridius</c><00:12:59.279><c> and</c><00:12:59.740><c> Syntyche,</c>

00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:03.419
two<00:13:02.019><c> sisters</c><00:13:02.299><c> in</c><00:13:02.440><c> the</c><00:13:02.539><c> meeting,</c>

00:13:04.100 --> 00:13:06.639
that<00:13:04.179><c> they</c><00:13:04.419><c> be</c><00:13:04.519><c> of</c><00:13:04.679><c> the</c><00:13:04.940><c> same</c><00:13:05.179><c> mind</c><00:13:05.480><c> in</c><00:13:05.679><c> the</c><00:13:05.820><c> Lord.</c>

00:13:06.919 --> 00:13:08.480
Now<00:13:07.179><c> he</c><00:13:07.240><c> actually</c><00:13:07.659><c> names</c><00:13:07.980><c> them.</c>

00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:10.500
And<00:13:09.139><c> to</c><00:13:09.279><c> do</c><00:13:09.419><c> that</c><00:13:09.620><c> is</c><00:13:09.759><c> very</c><00:13:10.019><c> important</c>

00:13:10.500 --> 00:13:12.940
because<00:13:10.919><c> he</c><00:13:11.279><c> has</c><00:13:11.399><c> actually</c><00:13:11.740><c> brought</c><00:13:11.980><c> out</c><00:13:12.259><c> names</c><00:13:12.559><c> here</c>

00:13:12.940 --> 00:13:15.460
which<00:13:13.279><c> clearly</c><00:13:13.720><c> identify</c><00:13:14.600><c> two</c><00:13:14.940><c> sisters</c>

00:13:15.460 --> 00:13:21.059
and<00:13:15.820><c> has</c><00:13:16.139><c> identified</c><00:13:16.779><c> two</c><00:13:17.159><c> sisters</c><00:13:17.580><c> through</c><00:13:17.860><c> history</c><00:13:18.860><c> by</c><00:13:20.059><c> name.</c>

00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:24.919
Now<00:13:23.200><c> obviously</c><00:13:23.539><c> these</c><00:13:23.840><c> two</c><00:13:24.120><c> sisters</c><00:13:24.340><c> had</c><00:13:24.519><c> a</c><00:13:24.700><c> problem.</c>

00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:26.580
Whatever<00:13:25.240><c> that</c><00:13:25.500><c> problem</c><00:13:25.759><c> was,</c><00:13:26.100><c> we're</c><00:13:26.220><c> not</c><00:13:26.460><c> told,</c>

00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:30.299
but<00:13:26.700><c> what</c><00:13:26.779><c> we</c><00:13:26.960><c> do</c><00:13:27.179><c> know</c><00:13:27.360><c> is</c><00:13:28.019><c> that</c><00:13:28.559><c> led</c><00:13:28.840><c> to</c><00:13:29.019><c> division</c><00:13:29.279><c> in</c><00:13:29.419><c> the</c><00:13:29.519><c> meeting.</c>

00:13:30.899 --> 00:13:32.139
What<00:13:31.080><c> was</c><00:13:31.299><c> wrong?</c>

00:13:32.940 --> 00:13:34.440
I<00:13:33.100><c> think</c><00:13:33.200><c> we're</c><00:13:33.320><c> eating</c><00:13:33.379><c> between</c><00:13:33.639><c> the</c><00:13:33.820><c> lines</c><00:13:34.000><c> here.</c>

00:13:34.860 --> 00:13:37.820
I<00:13:35.179><c> would</c><00:13:35.419><c> suggest</c><00:13:35.840><c> that</c><00:13:36.279><c> if</c><00:13:36.720><c> the</c><00:13:36.980><c> brethren</c><00:13:37.320><c> had</c><00:13:37.580><c> been</c>

00:13:37.820 --> 00:13:39.860
doing<00:13:38.059><c> their</c><00:13:38.340><c> job</c><00:13:38.559><c> in</c><00:13:38.720><c> the</c><00:13:38.940><c> Ecclesia,</c>

00:13:39.940 --> 00:13:42.059
if<00:13:40.320><c> there</c><00:13:40.480><c> had</c><00:13:40.639><c> been</c><00:13:40.860><c> sufficient</c><00:13:41.440><c> and</c><00:13:41.820><c> proper</c>

00:13:42.059 --> 00:13:44.360
spiritual<00:13:42.580><c> leadership</c><00:13:43.100><c> taking</c><00:13:43.500><c> place,</c>

00:13:44.360 --> 00:13:46.919
then<00:13:45.179><c> this</c><00:13:45.379><c> would</c><00:13:45.620><c> not</c><00:13:45.759><c> have</c><00:13:45.879><c> got</c><00:13:46.019><c> out</c><00:13:46.179><c> of</c><00:13:46.360><c> hand</c>

00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.899
and<00:13:47.639><c> we</c><00:13:47.779><c> would</c><00:13:47.960><c> not</c><00:13:48.100><c> have</c><00:13:48.299><c> had</c><00:13:48.620><c> a</c><00:13:48.919><c> two</c><00:13:49.120><c>-sister</c><00:13:50.179><c> brawl</c>

00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:52.559
going<00:13:51.220><c> on</c><00:13:51.460><c> in</c><00:13:51.600><c> the</c><00:13:51.720><c> meeting.</c>

00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:54.340
And<00:13:52.879><c> I'm</c><00:13:52.980><c> not</c><00:13:53.139><c> suggesting</c><00:13:53.379><c> they</c><00:13:53.559><c> were</c><00:13:53.600><c> physically</c><00:13:53.960><c> brawling,</c>

00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:56.480
but<00:13:54.480><c> what</c><00:13:54.639><c> we</c><00:13:54.840><c> have</c><00:13:55.019><c> is</c><00:13:55.340><c> an</c><00:13:55.539><c> embattled</c><00:13:55.940><c> situation</c>

00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:58.120
that<00:13:56.639><c> has</c><00:13:56.720><c> become</c><00:13:56.960><c> so</c><00:13:57.360><c> noteworthy</c>

00:13:58.120 --> 00:13:59.519
that<00:13:58.340><c> the</c><00:13:58.539><c> apostle</c><00:13:58.840><c> Paul</c><00:13:59.059><c> had</c><00:13:59.220><c> to</c><00:13:59.399><c> say,</c>

00:13:59.840 --> 00:14:01.759
these<00:13:59.860><c> two</c><00:14:00.179><c> sisters</c><00:14:00.500><c> must</c><00:14:01.039><c> get</c><00:14:01.320><c> together</c>

00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.299
and<00:14:02.220><c> stop</c><00:14:02.419><c> the</c><00:14:02.639><c> feuding,</c><00:14:02.940><c> whatever</c><00:14:03.200><c> it</c><00:14:03.399><c> is.</c>

00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:06.259
And<00:14:05.360><c> this</c><00:14:05.480><c> is</c><00:14:05.600><c> very</c><00:14:05.799><c> sad</c>

00:14:06.259 --> 00:14:09.259
because<00:14:06.840><c> the</c><00:14:07.080><c> Ecclesia</c><00:14:07.299><c> at</c><00:14:07.500><c> Philippi</c><00:14:08.039><c> was</c><00:14:08.539><c> a</c><00:14:08.720><c> strong</c><00:14:08.879><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:14:09.279 --> 00:14:11.100
But<00:14:09.460><c> you</c><00:14:09.600><c> must</c><00:14:09.860><c> also</c><00:14:10.080><c> remember</c><00:14:10.500><c> too</c>

00:14:11.100 --> 00:14:14.740
that<00:14:12.000><c> this</c><00:14:12.279><c> Ecclesia</c><00:14:12.620><c> was</c><00:14:12.799><c> first</c><00:14:13.080><c> founded</c><00:14:13.360><c> with</c><00:14:13.559><c> a</c><00:14:13.639><c> sister.</c>

00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:17.279
It<00:14:15.360><c> was</c><00:14:15.519><c> Lydia,</c><00:14:16.120><c> the</c><00:14:16.279><c> first</c><00:14:16.440><c> sister.</c>

00:14:17.299 --> 00:14:19.500
Maybe<00:14:17.600><c> this</c><00:14:17.879><c> led</c><00:14:18.039><c> to</c><00:14:18.240><c> a</c><00:14:18.460><c> problem</c><00:14:18.679><c> here</c>

00:14:19.500 --> 00:14:22.460
because<00:14:20.220><c> the</c><00:14:20.580><c> second</c><00:14:20.860><c> sister</c><00:14:21.500><c> was</c><00:14:21.980><c> probably</c>

00:14:22.460 --> 00:14:25.360
the<00:14:22.700><c> woman</c><00:14:22.960><c> who</c><00:14:23.080><c> was</c><00:14:23.320><c> taken</c><00:14:23.580><c> by</c><00:14:23.779><c> the</c><00:14:23.940><c> spirit</c><00:14:24.139><c> of</c><00:14:24.340><c> divination.</c>

00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:28.200
And<00:14:26.919><c> these</c><00:14:27.159><c> two</c><00:14:27.440><c> sisters,</c><00:14:27.779><c> therefore,</c>

00:14:28.379 --> 00:14:30.500
became<00:14:28.639><c> the</c><00:14:28.980><c> beginning</c><00:14:29.320><c> of</c><00:14:29.539><c> the</c><00:14:29.679><c> Ecclesia</c><00:14:29.940><c> in</c><00:14:30.139><c> Philippi,</c>

00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.720

00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:37.440
Maybe<00:14:34.059><c> some</c><00:14:34.200><c> of</c><00:14:34.320><c> the</c><00:14:34.480><c> prisoners</c><00:14:35.019><c> were</c><00:14:35.840><c> added</c><00:14:35.980><c> in</c><00:14:36.159><c> that</c><00:14:36.320><c> same</c><00:14:36.559><c> day.</c>

00:14:37.980 --> 00:14:39.500
Maybe<00:14:38.480><c> this</c><00:14:38.720><c> little</c><00:14:38.899><c> bit</c><00:14:39.019><c> of</c><00:14:39.200><c> history</c>

00:14:39.500 --> 00:14:42.000
had<00:14:39.659><c> created</c><00:14:40.019><c> a</c><00:14:40.259><c> problem</c><00:14:40.539><c> for</c><00:14:40.779><c> the</c><00:14:40.879><c> Philippian</c><00:14:41.580><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:14:42.299 --> 00:14:43.899
They<00:14:42.480><c> thought</c><00:14:42.740><c> maybe</c><00:14:43.100><c> the</c><00:14:43.320><c> sisters</c><00:14:43.580><c> should,</c>

00:14:44.179 --> 00:14:46.379
because<00:14:44.440><c> they</c><00:14:44.580><c> were</c><00:14:44.720><c> the</c><00:14:44.820><c> foundation</c><00:14:45.320><c> members</c><00:14:45.720><c> of</c><00:14:45.899><c> this</c><00:14:46.039><c> Ecclesia,</c>

00:14:46.659 --> 00:14:49.399
they<00:14:46.799><c> should</c><00:14:47.000><c> have</c><00:14:47.179><c> a</c><00:14:47.419><c> more</c><00:14:47.759><c> particular</c><00:14:48.360><c> dominant</c><00:14:48.960><c> position</c>

00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:51.679
than<00:14:49.840><c> otherwise</c><00:14:50.279><c> Paul</c><00:14:50.519><c> had</c><00:14:50.759><c> told</c><00:14:50.860><c> the</c><00:14:51.080><c> Corinthian,</c>

00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:53.779

00:14:53.899 --> 00:14:56.779
in<00:14:54.379><c> regard</c><00:14:54.720><c> to</c><00:14:55.039><c> the</c><00:14:55.259><c> sisters'</c><00:14:55.460><c> position</c><00:14:55.779><c> in</c><00:14:55.919><c> the</c><00:14:56.019><c> meeting.</c>

00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.360
Perhaps<00:14:57.340><c> they</c><00:14:57.519><c> had</c><00:14:57.720><c> too</c><00:14:57.940><c> dominant</c><00:14:58.299><c> a</c><00:14:58.580><c> role.</c>

00:14:59.980 --> 00:15:03.100
Maybe,<00:15:00.580><c> again,</c><00:15:00.820><c> for</c><00:15:00.960><c> the</c><00:15:01.220><c> same</c><00:15:01.440><c> reason</c><00:15:01.740><c> the</c><00:15:01.960><c> apostle</c><00:15:02.320><c> Paul</c><00:15:02.620><c> said</c>

00:15:03.100 --> 00:15:04.659
that<00:15:03.340><c> the</c><00:15:03.480><c> sisters</c><00:15:03.899><c> ought</c><00:15:04.080><c> not</c><00:15:04.360><c> to</c><00:15:04.539><c> be</c>

00:15:04.659 --> 00:15:06.759
in<00:15:04.779><c> the</c><00:15:04.960><c> teaching</c><00:15:05.259><c> class</c><00:15:05.559><c> of</c><00:15:05.720><c> the</c><00:15:05.840><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:15:06.840 --> 00:15:07.960
And<00:15:07.019><c> he</c><00:15:07.100><c> makes</c><00:15:07.279><c> that</c><00:15:07.580><c> clear.</c>

00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:09.899
He<00:15:08.519><c> said</c><00:15:08.799><c> why?</c>

00:15:09.980 --> 00:15:11.799
And<00:15:10.080><c> it</c><00:15:10.320><c> doesn't</c><00:15:10.600><c> demean</c><00:15:10.940><c> women.</c>

00:15:12.220 --> 00:15:14.059
I<00:15:12.379><c> believe</c><00:15:12.639><c> it</c><00:15:12.899><c> treats</c><00:15:13.039><c> women</c><00:15:13.279><c> in</c><00:15:13.460><c> a</c><00:15:13.559><c> very</c><00:15:13.799><c> precious</c>

00:15:14.059 --> 00:15:15.679
and<00:15:14.240><c> a</c><00:15:14.419><c> particular</c><00:15:14.700><c> way.</c>

00:15:15.879 --> 00:15:19.139
He<00:15:16.059><c> says</c><00:15:16.259><c> that</c><00:15:16.519><c> the</c><00:15:16.639><c> women</c><00:15:17.059><c> were</c><00:15:17.879><c> more</c><00:15:18.240><c> emotionally</c><00:15:18.740><c> based</c>

00:15:19.139 --> 00:15:20.200
in<00:15:19.299><c> their</c><00:15:19.519><c> thinking</c><00:15:19.720><c> than</c><00:15:19.940><c> men.</c>

00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:23.220
And<00:15:20.559><c> God</c><00:15:20.899><c> made</c><00:15:21.320><c> them</c><00:15:21.539><c> that</c><00:15:21.840><c> way.</c>

00:15:24.340 --> 00:15:26.600
Because<00:15:24.740><c> that's</c><00:15:25.120><c> what</c><00:15:25.360><c> the</c><00:15:25.639><c> man</c><00:15:25.980><c> needs.</c>

00:15:26.919 --> 00:15:29.120
Now,<00:15:27.080><c> I'm</c><00:15:27.220><c> being</c><00:15:27.440><c> general</c><00:15:27.779><c> here,</c><00:15:27.960><c> not</c><00:15:28.159><c> specific.</c>

00:15:29.980 --> 00:15:32.759
The<00:15:30.279><c> man</c><00:15:30.539><c> can</c><00:15:30.759><c> be</c><00:15:30.960><c> too</c><00:15:31.299><c> harsh,</c><00:15:31.940><c> too</c><00:15:32.259><c> cold,</c>

00:15:33.059 --> 00:15:35.159
too<00:15:33.299><c> rational,</c><00:15:33.940><c> too</c><00:15:34.139><c> scientific</c><00:15:34.659><c> about</c><00:15:34.960><c> it,</c>

00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:36.440
too<00:15:35.480><c> practical</c><00:15:35.879><c> to</c><00:15:36.100><c> the</c><00:15:36.259><c> point</c>

00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:39.500
where<00:15:36.919><c> human</c><00:15:37.299><c> feelings</c><00:15:37.679><c> are</c><00:15:38.019><c> not</c><00:15:38.279><c> respected.</c>

00:15:40.700 --> 00:15:42.200
And<00:15:40.860><c> I</c><00:15:40.940><c> know</c><00:15:41.080><c> a</c><00:15:41.179><c> lot</c><00:15:41.360><c> of</c><00:15:41.519><c> brethren</c><00:15:41.720><c> like</c><00:15:42.019><c> that,</c>

00:15:42.220 --> 00:15:44.659
and<00:15:42.340><c> probably</c><00:15:42.679><c> you</c><00:15:42.899><c> do,</c><00:15:43.360><c> too.</c>

00:15:45.700 --> 00:15:48.940
But<00:15:45.840><c> yet</c><00:15:46.179><c> the</c><00:15:46.559><c> sister</c><00:15:46.980><c> has</c><00:15:47.740><c> that</c><00:15:48.080><c> great</c><00:15:48.299><c> capacity</c>

00:15:48.940 --> 00:15:52.899
to<00:15:49.360><c> evince</c><00:15:49.659><c> from</c><00:15:49.899><c> the</c><00:15:50.080><c> man</c><00:15:50.559><c> his</c><00:15:51.200><c> emotional</c><00:15:51.720><c> response.</c>

00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:56.299
It<00:15:54.179><c> can</c><00:15:54.480><c> soften</c><00:15:54.740><c> a</c><00:15:54.940><c> man's</c><00:15:55.360><c> temperament,</c>

00:15:56.799 --> 00:15:58.539
bring<00:15:56.960><c> him</c><00:15:57.059><c> back</c><00:15:57.299><c> to</c><00:15:57.580><c> earth,</c>

00:15:58.860 --> 00:16:01.200
bring<00:15:59.000><c> him</c><00:15:59.139><c> to</c><00:15:59.279><c> consider</c><00:15:59.639><c> the</c><00:15:59.940><c> warm</c><00:16:00.519><c> environment</c>

00:16:01.200 --> 00:16:02.940
of<00:16:01.460><c> affection</c><00:16:01.860><c> and</c><00:16:02.100><c> love</c><00:16:02.360><c> and</c><00:16:02.600><c> care,</c>

00:16:02.940 --> 00:16:06.220
which<00:16:03.360><c> often</c><00:16:03.679><c> the</c><00:16:03.879><c> man</c><00:16:04.039><c> on</c><00:16:04.179><c> his</c><00:16:04.440><c> own</c><00:16:04.860><c> forgets</c><00:16:05.460><c> about.</c>

00:16:06.659 --> 00:16:09.639
He's<00:16:06.919><c> too</c><00:16:07.220><c> preoccupied</c><00:16:08.000><c> with</c><00:16:08.139><c> his</c><00:16:08.360><c> rational</c><00:16:08.879><c> objective</c>

00:16:09.639 --> 00:16:11.980
to<00:16:10.500><c> think</c><00:16:10.720><c> about</c><00:16:11.000><c> the</c><00:16:11.179><c> sensitive</c><00:16:11.559><c> feelings</c>

00:16:14.940 --> 00:16:16.360
As<00:16:15.059><c> Brother</c><00:16:15.299><c> Thomas</c><00:16:15.580><c> once</c><00:16:15.879><c> said,</c>

00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:19.679
that<00:16:16.860><c> man</c><00:16:17.100><c> on</c><00:16:17.279><c> his</c><00:16:17.539><c> own</c><00:16:18.240><c> is</c><00:16:18.960><c> cold</c>

00:16:19.679 --> 00:16:22.159
and<00:16:20.340><c> as</c><00:16:20.539><c> frigid</c><00:16:20.820><c> as</c><00:16:20.960><c> the</c><00:16:21.120><c> poles,</c>

00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:24.879
unless<00:16:23.200><c> his</c><00:16:23.759><c> environment</c><00:16:24.139><c> is</c><00:16:24.379><c> humiliated</c>

00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:26.620
by<00:16:25.080><c> the</c><00:16:25.240><c> warmth</c><00:16:25.399><c> of</c><00:16:25.580><c> a</c><00:16:25.659><c> woman.</c>

00:16:27.539 --> 00:16:29.100
And<00:16:27.740><c> I</c><00:16:27.840><c> think</c><00:16:27.940><c> God</c><00:16:28.179><c> intended</c><00:16:28.580><c> that.</c>

00:16:29.100 --> 00:16:32.919
And<00:16:29.820><c> for</c><00:16:30.080><c> that</c><00:16:30.320><c> reason,</c><00:16:31.100><c> Eve</c><00:16:31.179><c> was</c><00:16:31.600><c> deceived.</c>

00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:34.779
Adam<00:16:33.559><c> was</c><00:16:33.820><c> not.</c>

00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:36.539
Remember<00:16:35.159><c> that</c><00:16:35.360><c> was</c><00:16:35.500><c> the</c><00:16:35.659><c> very</c><00:16:35.879><c> point</c><00:16:36.080><c> Paul</c><00:16:36.379><c> made</c>

00:16:36.539 --> 00:16:37.940
when<00:16:36.679><c> he</c><00:16:36.799><c> wrote</c><00:16:36.960><c> to</c><00:16:37.200><c> Timothy.</c>

00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:39.940
He<00:16:38.159><c> said</c><00:16:38.299><c> the</c><00:16:38.440><c> sister</c><00:16:38.700><c> ought</c><00:16:38.899><c> not</c><00:16:39.139><c> to</c><00:16:39.340><c> teach</c><00:16:39.460><c> him</c><00:16:39.600><c> the</c><00:16:39.720><c> Ecclesiastical</c>

because<00:16:40.379><c> Eve</c><00:16:40.919><c> was</c><00:16:41.279><c> deceived.</c>

00:16:43.019 --> 00:16:44.379
Adam,<00:16:43.500><c> with</c><00:16:43.600><c> being</c><00:16:43.740><c> in</c><00:16:43.860><c> the</c><00:16:44.019><c> transgression,</c>

00:16:44.419 --> 00:16:45.299
he<00:16:44.580><c> wasn't</c><00:16:44.899><c> deceived.</c>

00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:47.720
Adam<00:16:45.860><c> made</c><00:16:46.100><c> a</c><00:16:46.419><c> clear,</c><00:16:46.820><c> conscious</c><00:16:47.200><c> decision,</c>

00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.200
and<00:16:50.679><c> he</c><00:16:50.820><c> chose</c><00:16:51.080><c> his</c><00:16:51.320><c> wife.</c>

00:16:52.980 --> 00:16:54.639
He<00:16:53.179><c> loved</c><00:16:53.480><c> her,</c><00:16:53.759><c> surely</c><00:16:53.940><c> he</c><00:16:54.120><c> loved</c><00:16:54.320><c> her,</c>

00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:30.579
And<00:17:28.759><c> now</c><00:17:29.000><c> we</c><00:17:29.119><c> go</c><00:17:29.259><c> out</c><00:17:29.480><c> and</c><00:17:29.619><c> find</c><00:17:29.779><c> that</c><00:17:29.900><c> we've</c><00:17:30.019><c> got</c><00:17:30.099><c> women</c><00:17:30.339><c> priests</c>

00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:39.579
and<00:17:37.519><c> history</c><00:17:37.779><c> has</c><00:17:38.059><c> never</c><00:17:38.339><c> proved</c><00:17:38.660><c> that.</c>

00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:42.319

00:17:42.480 --> 00:17:44.880
She<00:17:42.619><c> went</c><00:17:42.759><c> back</c><00:17:42.940><c> and</c><00:17:43.039><c> had</c><00:17:43.140><c> a</c><00:17:43.279><c> baby</c><00:17:43.460><c> and</c><00:17:43.579><c> kept</c><00:17:43.720><c> things</c><00:17:43.940><c> at</c><00:17:44.160><c> home.</c>

00:17:46.500 --> 00:17:49.240
So<00:17:46.799><c> really,</c><00:17:47.480><c> the</c><00:17:47.619><c> best</c><00:17:48.240><c> position</c><00:17:48.720><c> to</c><00:17:48.960><c> adopt</c>

00:17:58.480 --> 00:18:00.819

And<00:18:01.519><c> the</c><00:18:01.740><c> brethren</c><00:18:02.019><c> should</c><00:18:02.380><c> not</c><00:18:02.740><c> have</c><00:18:02.960><c> permitted</c><00:18:03.319><c> that</c><00:18:03.599><c> to</c><00:18:03.779><c> happen.</c>

00:18:05.259 --> 00:18:07.539
If<00:18:05.460><c> they</c><00:18:05.700><c> were</c><00:18:05.859><c> doing</c><00:18:06.099><c> their</c><00:18:06.500><c> job,</c>

Again,<00:18:10.319><c> we</c><00:18:10.359><c> might</c><00:18:10.539><c> say</c><00:18:10.740><c> if</c><00:18:10.980><c> Bayrac</c><00:18:11.220><c> did</c><00:18:11.400><c> his</c><00:18:11.660><c> job,</c>

But<00:19:11.039><c> there</c><00:19:11.180><c> was</c><00:19:11.359><c> a</c><00:19:11.519><c> lack</c><00:19:11.720><c> of</c><00:19:11.940><c> brotherly</c><00:19:12.279><c> direction</c><00:19:12.579><c> in</c><00:19:12.740><c> the</c><00:19:12.859><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:19:13.180 --> 00:19:14.740
That's<00:19:13.380><c> what</c><00:19:13.460><c> does</c><00:19:13.660><c> come</c><00:19:13.859><c> out.</c>

00:19:15.619 --> 00:19:16.700
So<00:19:15.819><c> now</c><00:19:16.059><c> he</c><00:19:16.259><c> exhorts</c><00:19:16.539><c> them,</c>

00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:19.839
I<00:19:16.960><c> entreat</c><00:19:17.519><c> thee</c><00:19:17.720><c> also,</c><00:19:18.539><c> true</c><00:19:19.119><c> yoke</c><00:19:19.559><c> fellow,</c>

00:19:19.839 --> 00:19:23.660

00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:25.640

00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:27.220
with<00:19:26.160><c> others</c><00:19:26.339><c> of</c><00:19:26.519><c> my</c><00:19:26.680><c> fellow</c><00:19:26.900><c> laborers,</c>

00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:28.220
whose<00:19:27.339><c> names</c><00:19:27.539><c> are</c><00:19:27.660><c> in</c><00:19:27.720><c> the</c><00:19:27.799><c> Book</c><00:19:27.900><c> of</c><00:19:28.079><c> Life.</c>

00:19:28.240 --> 00:19:29.339
He's<00:19:28.400><c> got</c><00:19:28.519><c> no</c><00:19:28.720><c> doubt</c><00:19:28.839><c> that</c><00:19:29.000><c> they're</c><00:19:29.160><c> there.</c>

00:19:29.539 --> 00:19:30.519
What<00:19:29.740><c> is</c><00:19:29.900><c> he</c><00:19:30.099><c> saying</c><00:19:30.299><c> then?</c>

00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:32.940
I<00:19:31.019><c> entreat</c><00:19:31.259><c> thee</c><00:19:31.420><c> also,</c><00:19:31.799><c> true</c><00:19:32.000><c> yoke</c><00:19:32.259><c> fellow,</c>

00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:35.759
help<00:19:33.240><c> those</c><00:19:33.680><c> women</c><00:19:34.019><c> which</c><00:19:34.440><c> labored</c><00:19:34.779><c> with</c><00:19:35.039><c> me</c><00:19:35.200><c> in</c><00:19:35.299><c> the</c><00:19:35.460><c> Gospel.</c>

00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:37.279
They<00:19:35.980><c> were</c><00:19:36.240><c> not</c><00:19:36.599><c> helping</c><00:19:36.980><c> them.</c>

00:19:37.420 --> 00:19:38.839
Why<00:19:37.799><c> weren't</c><00:19:38.019><c> they</c><00:19:38.299><c> helping</c><00:19:38.619><c> them?</c>

00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:41.420
The<00:19:39.140><c> brethren</c><00:19:39.359><c> were</c><00:19:39.599><c> falling</c><00:19:39.900><c> down</c><00:19:40.200><c> in</c><00:19:40.319><c> their</c><00:19:40.480><c> duties.</c>

00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:45.220
Not<00:19:43.180><c> enough</c><00:19:43.440><c> care</c><00:19:43.700><c> was</c><00:19:43.880><c> being</c><00:19:44.160><c> given.</c>

00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:47.859
Therefore,<00:19:46.779><c> the</c><00:19:46.940><c> Ecclesia</c><00:19:47.240><c> was</c><00:19:47.460><c> suffering</c>

00:19:47.859 --> 00:19:50.200
some<00:19:48.079><c> degree</c><00:19:48.380><c> of</c><00:19:48.559><c> disunity</c><00:19:48.920><c> on</c><00:19:49.079><c> this</c><00:19:49.279><c> account.</c>

00:19:51.259 --> 00:19:52.579
But<00:19:51.380><c> he</c><00:19:51.519><c> says,</c>

00:19:52.619 --> 00:19:56.299
Rejoice<00:19:52.900><c> in</c><00:19:52.980><c> the</c><00:19:53.119><c> Lord's</c><00:19:53.400><c> ways</c><00:19:53.640><c> and</c><00:19:53.940><c> again</c><00:19:54.279><c> I</c><00:19:54.599><c> say</c><00:19:54.900><c> rejoice.</c>

00:19:57.019 --> 00:19:58.539
Comes<00:19:57.299><c> back</c><00:19:57.539><c> to</c><00:19:57.700><c> his</c><00:19:57.900><c> central</c><00:19:58.240><c> theme.</c>

00:19:58.900 --> 00:20:00.480
Whatever<00:19:59.160><c> problems</c><00:19:59.619><c> are</c><00:19:59.920><c> there,</c>

00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:02.660
fix<00:20:01.160><c> them</c><00:20:01.420><c> up.</c>

00:20:02.859 --> 00:20:03.779
Deal<00:20:03.220><c> with</c><00:20:03.440><c> the</c><00:20:03.660><c> issue.</c>

00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.400
Don't<00:20:04.119><c> let</c><00:20:04.259><c> it</c><00:20:04.579><c> fester</c><00:20:04.940><c> away</c><00:20:05.279><c> until</c><00:20:05.500><c> it</c><00:20:05.720><c> divides</c><00:20:06.039><c> the</c><00:20:06.240><c> whole</c>

Ecclesia<00:20:06.700><c> up</c>

00:20:06.980 --> 00:20:08.700

00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:11.819
Deal<00:20:09.480><c> with</c><00:20:09.740><c> the</c><00:20:10.019><c> problems</c><00:20:10.279><c> in</c><00:20:10.480><c> the</c><00:20:10.599><c> godly</c><00:20:10.880><c> way.</c>

00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:13.859
Paul's<00:20:12.519><c> doing</c><00:20:12.599><c> it</c><00:20:12.759><c> here</c><00:20:12.880><c> by</c><00:20:13.059><c> letter.</c>

00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:15.960
These<00:20:14.259><c> two</c><00:20:14.500><c> sisters</c><00:20:14.799><c> had</c><00:20:14.940><c> to</c><00:20:15.059><c> get</c><00:20:15.160><c> their</c><00:20:15.359><c> mind</c><00:20:15.519><c> together</c><00:20:15.819><c> on</c>

00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:16.980
the<00:20:16.140><c> truth.</c>

00:20:17.339 --> 00:20:20.680
They<00:20:17.799><c> had</c><00:20:18.099><c> to</c><00:20:18.500><c> become</c><00:20:19.180><c> true</c><00:20:19.700><c> sisters</c><00:20:20.059><c> in</c><00:20:20.319><c> Christ.</c>

00:20:21.059 --> 00:20:22.660
The<00:20:21.180><c> brethren</c><00:20:21.440><c> had</c><00:20:21.640><c> to</c><00:20:21.839><c> get</c><00:20:22.000><c> in</c><00:20:22.200><c> there</c><00:20:22.359><c> more</c>

00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:29.220
And<00:20:27.660><c> if</c><00:20:27.779><c> they</c><00:20:27.900><c> were</c><00:20:28.039><c> helping</c><00:20:28.359><c> the</c><00:20:28.599><c> sisters</c><00:20:28.900><c> more,</c>

00:20:29.339 --> 00:20:31.160
perhaps<00:20:29.619><c> the</c><00:20:29.839><c> sisters</c><00:20:30.059><c> didn't</c><00:20:30.259><c> have</c><00:20:30.460><c> to</c><00:20:30.539><c> help</c><00:20:30.720><c> themselves</c>

00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:32.460

00:20:32.819 --> 00:20:34.559
And<00:20:33.039><c> taking</c><00:20:33.299><c> commands.</c>

00:20:34.859 --> 00:20:37.420
The<00:20:35.059><c> brethren</c><00:20:35.220><c> were</c><00:20:35.380><c> not</c><00:20:35.500><c> in</c><00:20:35.619><c> the</c><00:20:35.779><c> front</c><00:20:35.940><c> line</c><00:20:36.059><c> as</c><00:20:36.140><c> they</c><00:20:36.279><c> should</c><00:20:36.460><c> have</c><00:20:36.599><c> been.</c>

00:20:38.359 --> 00:20:40.299
And<00:20:38.559><c> now</c><00:20:38.720><c> he</c><00:20:38.859><c> brings</c><00:20:39.140><c> us</c><00:20:39.380><c> to</c><00:20:39.680><c> a</c><00:20:39.859><c> lesson</c><00:20:40.099><c> here</c>

00:20:40.299 --> 00:20:41.980
which<00:20:40.460><c> is</c><00:20:40.640><c> very</c><00:20:40.880><c> important</c><00:20:41.279><c> in</c><00:20:41.480><c> verse</c><00:20:41.680><c> 5.</c>

00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:45.299
Let<00:20:42.259><c> your</c><00:20:42.619><c> moderation,</c><00:20:43.400><c> your</c><00:20:43.720><c> gentleness</c><00:20:44.279><c> be</c><00:20:44.680><c> known</c><00:20:44.960><c> unto</c>

00:20:45.299 --> 00:20:46.119
all<00:20:45.759><c> men</c>

00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:49.380
for<00:20:46.599><c> the</c><00:20:46.880><c> LORD</c><00:20:47.380><c> is</c><00:20:48.000><c> very</c><00:20:48.420><c> near.</c>

00:20:50.259 --> 00:20:53.299
Let<00:20:50.460><c> your</c><00:20:50.799><c> gentleness</c><00:20:51.539><c> be</c><00:20:52.099><c> known.</c>

00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:55.920
That's<00:20:53.759><c> not</c><00:20:53.960><c> often</c><00:20:54.200><c> what</c><00:20:54.420><c> we</c><00:20:55.059><c> exhort</c><00:20:55.380><c> from,</c><00:20:55.920><c> is</c><00:20:55.920><c> it,</c>

00:20:57.519 --> 00:21:00.259
We<00:20:57.759><c> don't</c><00:20:58.000><c> hear</c><00:20:58.200><c> a</c><00:20:58.240><c> lot</c><00:20:58.480><c> of</c><00:20:58.720><c> exhortation</c><00:20:59.319><c> on</c><00:20:59.559><c> being</c><00:20:59.859><c> gentle,</c>

00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:01.460
do<00:21:00.559><c> we?</c>

00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:03.299
Gentleness.

00:21:03.859 --> 00:21:06.660
Gentleness<00:21:04.279><c> here</c><00:21:04.819><c> approximates</c><00:21:05.660><c> the</c><00:21:06.200><c> expression</c>

00:21:06.660 --> 00:21:08.440
that<00:21:06.819><c> we</c><00:21:07.000><c> have</c><00:21:07.119><c> in</c><00:21:07.259><c> the</c><00:21:07.420><c> Hebrew</c><00:21:07.720><c> Chesed</c>

00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:13.119
which<00:21:09.000><c> is</c><00:21:09.200><c> the</c><00:21:09.359><c> word</c><00:21:09.519><c> everywhere</c><00:21:10.039><c> translated</c><00:21:10.640><c> as</c><00:21:11.259><c> loving</c><00:21:11.740><c> kindness.</c>

00:21:13.480 --> 00:21:18.380
Not<00:21:14.200><c> just</c><00:21:14.559><c> kindness,</c><00:21:16.299><c> but</c><00:21:16.519><c> loving</c><00:21:16.960><c> kindness.</c>

00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:20.980
And<00:21:19.480><c> that's</c><00:21:19.799><c> a</c><00:21:19.819><c> very</c><00:21:20.160><c> powerful</c><00:21:20.519><c> term</c>

00:21:20.980 --> 00:21:23.240
because<00:21:21.380><c> that's</c><00:21:21.700><c> the</c><00:21:21.819><c> quality</c><00:21:22.099><c> of</c><00:21:22.299><c> God.</c>

00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:25.339
Loving<00:21:24.200><c> kindness.</c>

00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:18.920
So<00:24:17.119><c> really,</c><00:24:17.359><c> it's</c><00:24:17.579><c> very</c><00:24:17.980><c> true,</c><00:24:18.279><c> as</c><00:24:18.380><c> it</c><00:24:18.460><c> says</c><00:24:18.680><c> here,</c>

00:26:16.279 --> 00:26:17.380
but<00:26:16.460><c> not</c><00:26:16.660><c> according</c><00:26:16.940><c> to</c><00:26:17.180><c> God.</c>

00:26:17.380 --> 00:26:19.720
Paul<00:26:17.980><c> had</c><00:26:18.299><c> gone</c><00:26:18.599><c> into</c><00:26:18.900><c> a</c><00:26:19.140><c> hole</c><00:26:19.319><c> in</c><00:26:19.539><c> Rome</c>

00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:21.059
where<00:26:19.940><c> God</c><00:26:20.160><c> had</c><00:26:20.339><c> wanted</c><00:26:20.500><c> him</c><00:26:20.759><c> there,</c>

00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:24.799
and<00:26:21.619><c> a</c><00:26:21.839><c> tremendously</c><00:26:22.400><c> active</c><00:26:22.880><c> ecclesia</c><00:26:23.319><c> came</c><00:26:23.539><c> out</c><00:26:23.720><c> of</c><00:26:23.839><c> that.</c>

00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:28.460
And<00:26:26.200><c> Paul's</c><00:26:26.500><c> example</c><00:26:26.859><c> was</c><00:26:27.200><c> a</c><00:26:27.380><c> towering</c><00:26:27.839><c> piece</c><00:26:28.039><c> of</c><00:26:28.319><c> strength</c>

00:26:28.460 --> 00:26:30.420
that<00:26:28.619><c> we're</c><00:26:28.819><c> still</c><00:26:29.039><c> learning</c><00:26:29.299><c> from.</c>

00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:34.119
Years<00:26:31.619><c> and</c><00:26:31.859><c> years</c><00:26:32.440><c> of</c><00:26:32.859><c> accumulated</c><00:26:33.480><c> teaching</c>

00:26:34.119 --> 00:26:36.940
and<00:26:34.779><c> an</c><00:26:35.059><c> excitation</c><00:26:35.619><c> comes</c><00:26:35.920><c> out</c><00:26:36.200><c> of</c><00:26:36.359><c> Philippians.</c>

00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:39.339
Paul's<00:26:37.960><c> in</c><00:26:38.140><c> prison</c><00:26:38.400><c> writing</c><00:26:38.819><c> it.</c>

00:26:39.779 --> 00:26:41.220
The<00:26:40.039><c> truth</c><00:26:40.180><c> hasn't</c><00:26:40.519><c> stopped</c><00:26:40.779><c> working.</c>

00:26:41.700 --> 00:26:43.420
It's<00:26:42.000><c> just</c><00:26:42.299><c> stopped</c><00:26:42.500><c> on</c><00:26:42.660><c> a</c><00:26:42.779><c> new</c><00:26:42.960><c> plateau</c>

00:26:43.420 --> 00:26:46.119
until<00:26:44.279><c> it</c><00:26:44.539><c> rises</c><00:26:44.779><c> to</c><00:26:45.000><c> a</c><00:26:45.099><c> new</c><00:26:45.240><c> dimension.</c>

00:26:47.140 --> 00:26:48.740
And<00:26:47.579><c> sometimes,</c><00:26:48.240><c> brethren</c><00:26:48.359><c> and</c><00:26:48.539><c> sisters,</c>

00:26:48.859 --> 00:26:49.900
our<00:26:49.000><c> ecclesia</c><00:26:49.299><c> seems</c><00:26:49.539><c> to</c><00:26:49.700><c> do</c><00:26:49.759><c> that.</c>

00:26:49.980 --> 00:26:51.359
It<00:26:49.980><c> goes</c><00:26:50.180><c> into</c><00:26:50.359><c> a</c><00:26:50.519><c> plateau</c><00:26:50.839><c> stage.</c>

00:26:51.839 --> 00:26:52.900
We<00:26:52.000><c> feel</c><00:26:52.140><c> there's</c><00:26:52.299><c> no</c><00:26:52.539><c> progress.</c>

00:26:53.079 --> 00:26:53.900
The<00:26:53.180><c> numbers</c><00:26:53.420><c> are</c><00:26:53.700><c> dwindling.</c>

00:26:53.940 --> 00:26:56.059
We<00:26:54.019><c> haven't</c><00:26:54.200><c> got</c><00:26:54.359><c> young</c><00:26:54.599><c> energetic</c><00:26:54.960><c> families</c><00:26:55.339><c> coming</c><00:26:55.660><c> up.</c>

00:26:56.279 --> 00:26:57.640
Well,<00:26:56.519><c> okay,</c><00:26:56.880><c> that's</c><00:26:57.299><c> a</c><00:26:57.400><c> plateau,</c>

00:26:57.720 --> 00:26:59.720
but<00:26:57.839><c> often</c><00:26:58.079><c> you'll</c><00:26:58.400><c> find</c><00:26:58.559><c> a</c><00:26:58.720><c> few</c><00:26:58.839><c> years</c><00:26:59.019><c> down</c><00:26:59.259><c> the</c><00:26:59.500><c> track</c>

00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:01.599
that<00:27:00.220><c> ecclesia</c><00:27:00.700><c> now</c><00:27:00.980><c> turned</c><00:27:01.220><c> around</c>

00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:03.279
and<00:27:01.960><c> a</c><00:27:02.059><c> lot</c><00:27:02.200><c> of</c><00:27:02.339><c> young</c><00:27:02.480><c> people</c><00:27:02.779><c> had</c><00:27:03.000><c> joined</c><00:27:03.160><c> it.</c>

00:27:03.279 --> 00:27:04.460
It's<00:27:03.480><c> now</c><00:27:03.740><c> splitting</c><00:27:03.960><c> at</c><00:27:04.140><c> the</c><00:27:04.319><c> seams.</c>

00:27:04.500 --> 00:27:05.920
They<00:27:04.619><c> need</c><00:27:04.779><c> a</c><00:27:04.920><c> bigger</c><00:27:05.079><c> hall.</c>

00:27:06.119 --> 00:27:07.779
Well,<00:27:06.259><c> these</c><00:27:06.400><c> things</c><00:27:06.619><c> happen.</c>

00:27:08.240 --> 00:27:11.039
But<00:27:08.460><c> basically,</c><00:27:09.579><c> we</c><00:27:09.700><c> must</c><00:27:10.019><c> trust</c><00:27:10.359><c> in</c><00:27:10.539><c> the</c><00:27:10.700><c> Lord</c>

00:27:11.039 --> 00:27:13.279
and<00:27:11.619><c> work</c><00:27:11.960><c> on</c><00:27:12.259><c> with</c><00:27:12.519><c> good</c><00:27:12.740><c> objectives</c>

00:27:13.279 --> 00:27:15.299
and<00:27:13.660><c> noble</c><00:27:13.900><c> insights</c><00:27:14.380><c> into</c><00:27:14.559><c> the</c><00:27:14.740><c> work</c><00:27:14.880><c> of</c><00:27:15.099><c> God</c>

00:27:15.299 --> 00:27:17.220
and<00:27:15.779><c> trust</c><00:27:15.940><c> that</c><00:27:16.059><c> he</c><00:27:16.140><c> will</c><00:27:16.440><c> strengthen</c><00:27:16.859><c> us,</c>

00:27:17.279 --> 00:27:18.660
which<00:27:17.460><c> he</c><00:27:17.680><c> does.</c>

00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:21.180
The<00:27:19.140><c> work</c><00:27:19.299><c> doesn't</c><00:27:19.640><c> stop</c><00:27:19.960><c> because</c><00:27:20.259><c> we</c><00:27:20.460><c> don't</c><00:27:20.759><c> seem</c>

00:27:21.180 --> 00:27:23.559
to<00:27:21.359><c> be</c><00:27:21.500><c> doing</c><00:27:21.619><c> a</c><00:27:21.799><c> lot</c><00:27:21.859><c> of</c><00:27:22.099><c> progressive</c><00:27:22.839><c> work</c>

00:27:23.559 --> 00:27:25.400
that<00:27:23.839><c> we</c><00:27:24.039><c> can</c><00:27:24.319><c> statistically</c><00:27:24.819><c> write</c><00:27:25.240><c> out</c>

00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:28.200
as<00:27:25.640><c> our</c><00:27:25.859><c> achievements</c><00:27:26.200><c> in</c><00:27:26.400><c> the</c><00:27:26.480><c> last</c><00:27:26.680><c> 12</c><00:27:26.920><c> months.</c>

00:27:29.299 --> 00:27:31.319
Work<00:27:29.579><c> takes</c><00:27:29.900><c> place</c><00:27:30.140><c> sometimes</c><00:27:30.740><c> quietly</c>

00:27:31.319 --> 00:27:33.160
and<00:27:31.599><c> humbly</c><00:27:31.880><c> in</c><00:27:32.079><c> a</c><00:27:32.240><c> corner</c>

a<00:27:36.019><c> new</c><00:27:36.259><c> wave</c><00:27:36.640><c> of</c><00:27:36.859><c> being</c><00:27:37.480><c> spread,</c>

00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:41.119
is<00:27:40.720><c> being</c><00:27:40.980><c> bred,</c>

00:27:41.180 --> 00:27:43.420
and<00:27:41.240><c> it'll</c><00:27:41.500><c> break</c><00:27:41.880><c> out</c><00:27:42.119><c> and</c><00:27:42.420><c> rise</c><00:27:42.720><c> to</c><00:27:43.000><c> greater</c><00:27:43.160><c> heights</c>

00:27:43.420 --> 00:27:45.420
than<00:27:43.519><c> we</c><00:27:43.700><c> ever</c><00:27:43.859><c> thought</c><00:27:44.039><c> possible,</c>

00:27:45.660 --> 00:27:48.559
just<00:27:45.839><c> like</c><00:27:45.980><c> the</c><00:27:46.180><c> little</c><00:27:46.700><c> grub</c><00:27:46.960><c> that</c><00:27:47.140><c> goes</c><00:27:47.359><c> into</c><00:27:47.559><c> the</c><00:27:47.740><c> chrysalis,</c>

00:27:48.859 --> 00:27:50.099
hides<00:27:49.180><c> itself</c><00:27:49.599><c> for</c><00:27:49.839><c> a</c><00:27:49.920><c> while,</c>

00:27:50.240 --> 00:27:51.680
and<00:27:50.400><c> then</c><00:27:50.660><c> comes</c><00:27:50.839><c> out</c><00:27:51.119><c> and</c><00:27:51.420><c> flies</c>

00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:53.900
in<00:27:51.880><c> the</c><00:27:52.000><c> heights</c><00:27:52.160><c> of</c><00:27:52.420><c> heavens</c><00:27:52.579><c> as</c><00:27:52.759><c> a</c><00:27:52.839><c> new</c><00:27:53.019><c> creature.</c>

00:27:54.420 --> 00:27:55.799
That<00:27:54.680><c> happens</c><00:27:55.039><c> from</c><00:27:55.299><c> time</c><00:27:55.460><c> to</c><00:27:55.619><c> time</c>

00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:58.059
in<00:27:55.960><c> our</c><00:27:56.359><c> experience</c><00:27:56.880><c> in</c><00:27:57.039><c> the</c><00:27:57.220><c> truth.</c>

00:27:58.200 --> 00:28:01.339
So<00:27:58.319><c> let's</c><00:27:58.559><c> not</c><00:27:58.720><c> reject</c><00:27:59.319><c> the</c><00:27:59.559><c> day</c><00:27:59.720><c> of</c><00:28:00.019><c> small</c><00:28:00.299><c> things.</c>

00:28:01.799 --> 00:28:03.640
Let's<00:28:02.160><c> value</c><00:28:02.660><c> the</c><00:28:03.319><c> greater</c>

00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:05.660

Now,<00:28:09.559><c> he</c><00:28:09.759><c> turns</c><00:28:09.980><c> our</c><00:28:10.200><c> attention</c><00:28:10.599><c> now</c>

00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:15.819
By<00:28:14.920><c> spiritual</c><00:28:15.359><c> stasis,</c>

00:28:15.920 --> 00:28:18.400

And<00:28:27.640><c> he</c><00:28:27.799><c> shows</c><00:28:28.000><c> us</c><00:28:28.240><c> now</c><00:28:28.440><c> the</c><00:28:28.759><c> grounds</c>

00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:33.599

00:28:33.940 --> 00:28:37.359
It<00:28:34.240><c> needs</c><00:28:34.599><c> a</c><00:28:35.000><c> right</c><00:28:35.240><c> foundation</c><00:28:36.000><c> to</c><00:28:36.259><c> keep</c><00:28:36.359><c> it</c><00:28:36.579><c> going.</c>

00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:38.819
And<00:28:37.599><c> now</c><00:28:37.740><c> he</c><00:28:37.819><c> gives</c><00:28:38.019><c> it</c><00:28:38.240><c> to</c><00:28:38.359><c> us</c>

00:28:38.819 --> 00:28:42.880
in<00:28:39.039><c> what</c><00:28:39.180><c> he</c><00:28:39.400><c> calls</c><00:28:39.980><c> the</c><00:28:40.539><c> peace</c><00:28:41.460><c> of</c><00:28:41.819><c> God.</c>

00:28:44.539 --> 00:28:47.539
Now,<00:28:44.920><c> in</c><00:28:45.140><c> effect,</c><00:28:45.400><c> when</c><00:28:45.500><c> you</c><00:28:45.599><c> look</c><00:28:45.740><c> at</c><00:28:45.859><c> the</c><00:28:46.019><c> cause</c><00:28:46.200><c> of</c><00:28:46.460><c> anxiety,</c>

00:28:48.140 --> 00:28:49.779
the<00:28:48.259><c> cause</c><00:28:48.460><c> of</c><00:28:48.700><c> anxiety</c><00:28:48.980><c> is</c>

00:28:49.779 --> 00:28:52.579
that<00:28:50.460><c> we</c><00:28:50.640><c> believe</c><00:28:51.140><c> we</c><00:28:51.319><c> are</c><00:28:51.460><c> out</c><00:28:51.680><c> of</c><00:28:52.000><c> control,</c>

00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:54.319
we<00:28:53.180><c> have</c><00:28:53.359><c> a</c><00:28:53.680><c> responsibility,</c>

00:28:54.420 --> 00:28:56.960
but<00:28:54.559><c> we</c><00:28:54.740><c> don't</c><00:28:54.940><c> have</c><00:28:55.160><c> the</c><00:28:55.400><c> power</c><00:28:55.559><c> to</c><00:28:55.740><c> fulfill</c><00:28:56.000><c> it.</c>

00:28:57.859 --> 00:28:59.619
That's<00:28:58.180><c> what</c><00:28:58.380><c> causes</c><00:28:58.599><c> anxiety.</c>

00:29:00.259 --> 00:29:02.319
You<00:29:00.420><c> can</c><00:29:00.599><c> often</c><00:29:00.819><c> find</c><00:29:01.059><c> a</c><00:29:01.279><c> person,</c><00:29:01.539><c> a</c><00:29:01.680><c> young</c><00:29:01.900><c> man,</c>

00:29:02.619 --> 00:29:05.019

00:29:05.019 --> 00:29:05.880
will<00:29:05.180><c> have</c><00:29:05.279><c> this</c><00:29:05.480><c> problem.</c>

00:29:06.339 --> 00:29:08.059
He's<00:29:06.759><c> given</c><00:29:06.980><c> a</c><00:29:07.119><c> lot</c><00:29:07.240><c> of</c><00:29:07.500><c> responsibility.</c>

00:29:08.059 --> 00:29:10.839
I<00:29:08.500><c> want</c><00:29:08.859><c> that</c><00:29:09.259><c> sales</c><00:29:09.539><c> record</c><00:29:09.920><c> up</c><00:29:10.140><c> by</c><00:29:10.380><c> next</c><00:29:10.660><c> year</c>

00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:12.720
or<00:29:11.019><c> your</c><00:29:11.240><c> head's</c><00:29:11.420><c> on</c><00:29:11.640><c> the</c><00:29:11.779><c> line.</c>

00:29:13.480 --> 00:29:15.240
And<00:29:13.839><c> then</c><00:29:14.200><c> he</c><00:29:14.480><c> gets</c><00:29:14.680><c> into</c><00:29:14.880><c> the</c><00:29:15.059><c> job.</c>

00:29:15.339 --> 00:29:16.059
He<00:29:15.339><c> says,</c><00:29:15.500><c> sure,</c><00:29:15.759><c> we'll</c><00:29:15.839><c> do</c><00:29:15.960><c> that.</c>

00:29:16.059 --> 00:29:16.859
We'll<00:29:16.220><c> fix</c><00:29:16.380><c> that</c><00:29:16.579><c> problem.</c>

00:29:17.039 --> 00:29:18.180
He's<00:29:17.299><c> got</c><00:29:17.420><c> a</c><00:29:17.579><c> responsibility</c>

00:29:18.180 --> 00:29:20.259
to<00:29:18.319><c> get</c><00:29:18.460><c> the</c><00:29:18.720><c> sales</c><00:29:18.960><c> record</c><00:29:19.240><c> up</c><00:29:19.400><c> by</c><00:29:19.599><c> next</c><00:29:19.880><c> year.</c>

00:29:20.579 --> 00:29:21.960
It's<00:29:20.740><c> got</c><00:29:20.799><c> to</c><00:29:20.900><c> be</c><00:29:21.079><c> doubled.</c>

00:29:22.500 --> 00:29:23.480
And<00:29:22.680><c> then</c><00:29:22.799><c> he</c><00:29:22.920><c> goes</c><00:29:23.140><c> back</c><00:29:23.279><c> and</c><00:29:23.359><c> says,</c>

00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:24.759
right,<00:29:23.799><c> now</c><00:29:23.920><c> I</c><00:29:23.940><c> want</c><00:29:24.119><c> some</c><00:29:24.279><c> more</c><00:29:24.519><c> salesmen.</c>

00:29:24.880 --> 00:29:26.200
Oh,<00:29:24.940><c> sorry,</c><00:29:25.059><c> we've</c><00:29:25.180><c> got</c><00:29:25.259><c> no</c><00:29:25.380><c> money</c><00:29:25.539><c> for</c><00:29:25.680><c> more</c><00:29:25.900><c> salesmen.</c>

00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:27.019
Well,<00:29:26.500><c> I've</c><00:29:26.579><c> got</c><00:29:26.619><c> to</c><00:29:26.700><c> have</c><00:29:26.819><c> somebody.</c>

00:29:27.079 --> 00:29:28.900
Well,<00:29:27.200><c> you</c><00:29:27.259><c> just</c><00:29:27.440><c> have</c><00:29:27.519><c> to</c><00:29:27.599><c> work</c><00:29:27.759><c> harder</c><00:29:27.900><c> yourself.</c>

00:29:30.259 --> 00:29:33.380
Typical<00:29:30.619><c> situation</c><00:29:30.980><c> in</c><00:29:31.440><c> business</c><00:29:32.099><c> institutions.</c>

00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:35.819
No<00:29:33.799><c> money,</c><00:29:34.259><c> but</c><00:29:34.420><c> there's</c><00:29:34.619><c> the</c><00:29:34.880><c> objective.</c>

00:29:36.299 --> 00:29:37.819
So<00:29:36.539><c> here's</c><00:29:36.839><c> a</c><00:29:37.000><c> young</c><00:29:37.140><c> executive</c><00:29:37.579><c> who</c><00:29:37.660><c> says,</c>

00:29:37.819 --> 00:29:38.619
I<00:29:37.980><c> must</c><00:29:38.200><c> achieve,</c>

00:29:38.859 --> 00:29:40.980
but<00:29:38.859><c> I</c><00:29:39.220><c> haven't</c><00:29:39.480><c> got</c><00:29:39.720><c> the</c><00:29:39.880><c> power</c><00:29:40.220><c> to</c><00:29:40.460><c> achieve</c><00:29:40.740><c> it,</c>

00:29:40.980 --> 00:29:43.619
but<00:29:41.140><c> I've</c><00:29:41.259><c> got</c><00:29:41.359><c> the</c><00:29:41.640><c> responsibility</c><00:29:42.220><c> to</c><00:29:42.420><c> achieve</c><00:29:42.680><c> it.</c>

00:29:43.799 --> 00:29:46.180
That's<00:29:44.140><c> a</c><00:29:44.240><c> typical</c><00:29:44.480><c> anxiety</c><00:29:44.960><c> attack</c><00:29:45.279><c> syndrome.</c>

00:29:46.700 --> 00:29:47.859
We<00:29:46.819><c> find</c><00:29:47.019><c> in</c><00:29:47.160><c> our</c><00:29:47.319><c> lives</c><00:29:47.519><c> in</c><00:29:47.640><c> the</c><00:29:47.759><c> truth.</c>

00:29:47.900 --> 00:29:49.019
And<00:29:47.980><c> you</c><00:29:48.059><c> know</c><00:29:48.140><c> one</c><00:29:48.259><c> way</c><00:29:48.380><c> we</c><00:29:48.519><c> find</c><00:29:48.759><c> it</c><00:29:48.940><c> too</c>

00:29:49.019 --> 00:29:50.579
is<00:29:49.160><c> that</c><00:29:49.440><c> we</c><00:29:49.720><c> feel</c><00:29:49.960><c> responsible</c>

00:29:50.579 --> 00:29:51.640
for<00:29:50.799><c> other</c><00:29:51.019><c> people</c><00:29:51.240><c> in</c><00:29:51.380><c> the</c><00:29:51.480><c> meeting.</c>

00:29:51.819 --> 00:29:54.180
It's<00:29:52.140><c> good</c><00:29:52.380><c> to</c><00:29:52.700><c> feel</c><00:29:52.859><c> responsible,</c>

00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:56.759
but<00:29:54.819><c> it's</c><00:29:55.019><c> not</c><00:29:55.240><c> good</c><00:29:55.480><c> to</c><00:29:55.759><c> feel</c><00:29:56.019><c> over</c><00:29:56.359><c>-consumed</c>

00:29:56.759 --> 00:29:57.779
with<00:29:57.019><c> governing</c><00:29:57.319><c> the</c><00:29:57.519><c> lives</c>

00:29:57.779 --> 00:29:59.559
of<00:29:57.980><c> other</c><00:29:58.140><c> brethren</c><00:29:58.400><c> and</c><00:29:58.660><c> sisters.</c>

00:30:00.660 --> 00:30:03.619
We<00:30:01.119><c> think</c><00:30:01.579><c> they</c><00:30:02.579><c> should</c><00:30:02.920><c> be</c><00:30:03.140><c> doing</c><00:30:03.299><c> this.</c>

00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:04.900
They<00:30:03.819><c> should</c><00:30:04.019><c> be</c><00:30:04.240><c> doing</c><00:30:04.380><c> that.</c>

00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:06.299
They<00:30:05.380><c> should</c><00:30:05.559><c> be</c><00:30:05.720><c> doing</c><00:30:05.920><c> different</c><00:30:06.180><c> things.</c>

00:30:06.299 --> 00:30:07.819
We<00:30:06.420><c> want</c><00:30:06.599><c> to</c><00:30:06.759><c> organize</c><00:30:07.299><c> everybody</c>

00:30:07.819 --> 00:30:10.180
and<00:30:07.980><c> tell</c><00:30:08.160><c> everybody</c><00:30:08.559><c> what</c><00:30:08.779><c> to</c><00:30:08.940><c> do.</c>

00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:12.119
And<00:30:11.099><c> all</c><00:30:11.200><c> of</c><00:30:11.359><c> a</c><00:30:11.420><c> sudden</c><00:30:11.539><c> we</c><00:30:11.680><c> find</c><00:30:11.880><c> people</c>

00:30:12.119 --> 00:30:14.619
don't<00:30:12.279><c> want</c><00:30:12.420><c> to</c><00:30:12.539><c> do</c><00:30:12.619><c> what</c><00:30:12.740><c> we</c><00:30:13.160><c> want</c><00:30:13.339><c> them</c><00:30:13.500><c> to</c><00:30:13.640><c> do.</c>

00:30:16.259 --> 00:30:18.200
Maybe<00:30:16.559><c> we</c><00:30:16.720><c> don't</c><00:30:16.819><c> pay</c><00:30:17.019><c> them</c><00:30:17.140><c> enough</c><00:30:17.279><c> money.</c>

00:30:19.039 --> 00:30:19.960
But<00:30:19.180><c> of</c><00:30:19.359><c> course</c><00:30:19.500><c> in</c><00:30:19.660><c> the</c><00:30:19.819><c> truth,</c>

00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:21.180
it's<00:30:20.140><c> all</c><00:30:20.359><c> voluntary,</c><00:30:20.940><c> isn't</c><00:30:21.039><c> it?</c>

00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:23.079
And<00:30:21.359><c> we</c><00:30:21.400><c> can</c><00:30:21.559><c> get</c><00:30:21.759><c> reactions</c><00:30:22.200><c> and</c><00:30:22.500><c> counter</c><00:30:22.700><c> reactions</c>

00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:25.799
very<00:30:23.440><c> easily</c><00:30:23.700><c> by</c><00:30:24.079><c> going</c><00:30:24.400><c> about</c><00:30:24.720><c> the</c><00:30:24.880><c> things</c><00:30:25.039><c> the</c><00:30:25.279><c> wrong</c><00:30:25.460><c> way</c>

00:30:43.599 --> 00:30:46.519
Well,<00:30:44.359><c> they've</c><00:30:44.539><c> got</c><00:30:44.640><c> their</c><00:30:44.819><c> own</c><00:30:45.000><c> salvation</c><00:30:45.359><c> to</c><00:30:45.559><c> work</c><00:30:45.779><c> out.</c>

00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:48.359
We<00:30:46.980><c> should</c><00:30:47.180><c> all</c><00:30:47.400><c> try</c><00:30:47.660><c> and</c><00:30:47.799><c> work</c><00:30:47.960><c> centrally</c>

but<00:30:49.559><c> we</c><00:30:49.779><c> should</c><00:30:49.940><c> not</c><00:30:50.140><c> try</c><00:30:50.359><c> and</c><00:30:50.779><c> organize</c><00:30:51.200><c> the</c><00:30:51.539><c> lives,</c>

00:30:53.940 --> 00:30:55.519
That's<00:30:54.240><c> not</c><00:30:54.400><c> our</c><00:30:54.640><c> task.</c>

00:30:55.660 --> 00:30:57.099
Some<00:30:55.900><c> brethren</c><00:30:56.119><c> get</c><00:30:56.279><c> a</c><00:30:56.299><c> little</c><00:30:56.440><c> bit</c><00:30:56.559><c> off</c><00:30:56.799><c> course,</c>

00:30:59.740 --> 00:31:02.519
We<00:30:59.940><c> must</c><00:31:00.220><c> all</c><00:31:00.500><c> have</c><00:31:00.720><c> a</c><00:31:01.000><c> voluntary,</c><00:31:01.859><c> willful,</c>

00:31:45.220 --> 00:31:46.700
God<00:31:45.359><c> doesn't</c><00:31:45.559><c> want</c><00:31:45.759><c> that.</c>

willingly,<00:31:50.680><c> voluntarily,</c>

00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:54.079

00:31:54.279 --> 00:31:56.980
And<00:31:54.500><c> that's</c><00:31:54.700><c> the</c><00:31:54.819><c> reason</c><00:31:55.099><c> why</c><00:31:55.400><c> Paul</c><00:31:55.700><c> is</c><00:31:56.079><c> reminding</c><00:31:56.680><c> us,</c>

00:31:59.319 --> 00:32:02.440
Why,<00:31:59.980><c> we</c><00:32:00.160><c> can't</c><00:32:00.579><c> control</c><00:32:01.140><c> other</c><00:32:01.460><c> brethren</c><00:32:01.619><c> and</c><00:32:01.819><c> sisters'</c><00:32:02.420><c> lives.</c>

00:32:02.500 --> 00:32:04.579
It's<00:32:02.680><c> not</c><00:32:02.880><c> for</c><00:32:02.980><c> us</c><00:32:03.200><c> to</c><00:32:03.380><c> do</c><00:32:03.559><c> so.</c>

00:32:05.220 --> 00:32:07.519
And<00:32:05.359><c> often</c><00:32:05.579><c> brethren</c><00:32:06.119><c> get</c><00:32:06.559><c> anxiety</c><00:32:07.160><c> attacks</c>

00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:08.980
because<00:32:07.900><c> they</c><00:32:08.059><c> have</c><00:32:08.200><c> a</c><00:32:08.380><c> responsibility.</c>

00:32:09.339 --> 00:32:11.680
They<00:32:09.539><c> take</c><00:32:09.980><c> a</c><00:32:10.180><c> great</c><00:32:10.400><c> responsibility</c><00:32:11.039><c> upon</c><00:32:11.240><c> themselves</c>

00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:17.579
and<00:32:15.720><c> they</c><00:32:15.940><c> go</c><00:32:16.079><c> into</c><00:32:16.240><c> anxiety</c><00:32:16.660><c> attacks.</c>

00:32:18.559 --> 00:32:19.779
Anxiety<00:32:18.880><c> attacks</c><00:32:19.119><c> are</c><00:32:19.279><c> really</c><00:32:19.539><c> common.</c>

00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:21.059
Maybe<00:32:20.059><c> you've</c><00:32:20.299><c> had</c><00:32:20.440><c> some</c><00:32:20.660><c> yourself.</c>

00:32:21.339 --> 00:32:23.220
You<00:32:21.500><c> get</c><00:32:21.619><c> these</c><00:32:21.839><c> panic</c><00:32:22.200><c> attacks.</c>

00:32:23.400 --> 00:32:24.660
You<00:32:23.500><c> get</c><00:32:23.579><c> the</c><00:32:23.759><c> hyperventilation.</c>

00:32:25.019 --> 00:32:25.960
You<00:32:25.200><c> start</c><00:32:25.440><c> to</c><00:32:25.700><c> shake.</c>

00:32:26.119 --> 00:32:27.960
That's<00:32:26.579><c> a</c><00:32:26.680><c> typical</c><00:32:27.000><c> anxiety</c><00:32:27.619><c> attack.</c>

00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:30.380
And<00:32:28.319><c> we</c><00:32:28.599><c> get</c><00:32:28.740><c> it</c><00:32:28.900><c> because</c><00:32:29.180><c> we</c><00:32:29.440><c> build</c><00:32:29.660><c> up</c><00:32:29.880><c> and</c><00:32:29.980><c> up</c><00:32:30.140><c> and</c><00:32:30.220><c> up</c>

00:32:35.180 --> 00:32:37.500
And<00:32:35.319><c> we</c><00:32:35.440><c> get</c><00:32:35.539><c> a</c><00:32:35.680><c> reaction</c><00:32:36.119><c> to</c><00:32:36.380><c> it.</c>

00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:40.259
We're<00:32:39.240><c> overanxious.</c>

00:32:41.019 --> 00:32:42.420
Rest<00:32:41.279><c> in</c><00:32:41.460><c> the</c><00:32:41.579><c> Lord.</c>

00:32:47.380 --> 00:32:49.500
Now<00:32:47.579><c> the</c><00:32:47.720><c> peace</c><00:32:47.980><c> of</c><00:32:48.259><c> God</c><00:32:48.519><c> really</c><00:32:48.859><c> means</c>

00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:56.339
we<00:32:54.019><c> can</c><00:32:54.319><c> relax</c><00:32:54.880><c> in</c><00:32:55.119><c> the</c><00:32:55.299><c> Lord,</c>

00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:02.279
but<00:32:59.200><c> saying</c><00:32:59.759><c> the</c><00:33:00.359><c> outcome</c><00:33:00.859><c> does</c><00:33:01.160><c> not</c><00:33:01.420><c> concern</c><00:33:01.859><c> me.</c>

00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:04.200
God's<00:33:03.220><c> in</c><00:33:03.440><c> charge</c><00:33:03.640><c> of</c><00:33:03.779><c> the</c><00:33:03.920><c> outcome.</c>

00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:05.980
I<00:33:04.359><c> leave</c><00:33:04.519><c> it</c><00:33:04.640><c> in</c><00:33:04.740><c> His</c><00:33:05.000><c> hands.</c>

00:33:06.779 --> 00:33:09.599
Now<00:33:07.000><c> that's</c><00:33:07.319><c> the</c><00:33:07.460><c> capacity</c><00:33:07.960><c> we</c><00:33:08.279><c> need</c><00:33:08.519><c> to</c><00:33:08.740><c> develop.</c>

00:33:09.940 --> 00:33:12.019
The<00:33:10.180><c> outcome</c><00:33:10.660><c> is</c><00:33:10.819><c> in</c><00:33:10.980><c> the</c><00:33:11.140><c> hands</c><00:33:11.400><c> of</c><00:33:11.680><c> Yahweh.</c>

00:33:12.299 --> 00:33:14.380
Let<00:33:12.500><c> us</c><00:33:12.900><c> labor</c><00:33:13.220><c> on</c><00:33:13.420><c> to</c><00:33:13.579><c> the</c><00:33:13.700><c> best</c><00:33:13.900><c> of</c><00:33:14.059><c> the</c><00:33:14.200><c> wisdom</c>

and<00:33:14.640><c> insight</c><00:33:14.859><c> we</c><00:33:15.240><c> have,</c>

00:33:15.660 --> 00:33:17.920
seeking<00:33:15.980><c> His</c><00:33:16.279><c> guidance</c><00:33:16.619><c> and</c><00:33:16.839><c> His</c><00:33:17.099><c> care</c><00:33:17.220><c> and</c><00:33:17.339><c> His</c><00:33:17.599><c> direction</c>

00:33:19.500 --> 00:33:20.400
Get<00:33:19.720><c> on</c><00:33:19.920><c> with</c><00:33:20.079><c> it.</c>

00:33:20.779 --> 00:33:22.099
Do<00:33:21.000><c> the</c><00:33:21.220><c> work.</c>

00:33:22.519 --> 00:33:25.259
The<00:33:22.700><c> Lord</c><00:33:23.000><c> will</c><00:33:23.319><c> fault</c><00:33:23.480><c> it</c><00:33:23.700><c> out</c><00:33:23.880><c> as</c><00:33:24.119><c> He</c><00:33:24.339><c> wants</c><00:33:24.599><c> it</c><00:33:24.799><c> to</c><00:33:24.960><c> go.</c>

00:33:25.259 --> 00:33:27.579
Trust<00:33:26.200><c> in</c><00:33:26.500><c> that.</c>

00:33:27.660 --> 00:33:29.559
After<00:33:28.000><c> all,</c><00:33:28.279><c> it's</c><00:33:28.299><c> not</c><00:33:28.539><c> the</c><00:33:28.799><c> achievements</c><00:33:29.099><c> we</c><00:33:29.400><c> make</c>

00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:31.279
with<00:33:29.779><c> our</c><00:33:29.960><c> own</c><00:33:30.160><c> hands.</c>

00:33:31.859 --> 00:33:36.019
It's<00:33:32.039><c> what</c><00:33:32.240><c> He</c><00:33:32.460><c> does</c><00:33:32.819><c> in</c><00:33:33.119><c> us</c><00:33:33.920><c> that</c><00:33:34.559><c> achieves</c><00:33:34.859><c> His</c><00:33:35.059><c> victories,</c>

00:33:36.079 --> 00:33:37.740

00:33:38.660 --> 00:33:40.099
Therefore<00:33:38.920><c> the</c><00:33:39.140><c> peace</c><00:33:39.359><c> of</c><00:33:39.619><c> God</c>

00:33:40.099 --> 00:33:43.980

00:33:46.059 --> 00:33:47.599
I'm<00:33:46.319><c> upon</c><00:33:46.599><c> earth.</c>

00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:49.819

00:33:57.900 --> 00:33:59.660
There's<00:33:58.200><c> the</c><00:33:58.400><c> peace</c><00:33:58.579><c> of</c><00:33:58.819><c> God.</c>

Wonderful<00:34:00.380><c> peace.</c>

00:34:01.880 --> 00:34:04.920

But,<00:39:23.059><c> you</c><00:39:23.119><c> know,</c><00:39:24.260><c> oftentimes</c><00:39:24.719><c> we</c><00:39:24.940><c> mightn't</c><00:39:25.360><c> have</c>

00:40:50.099 --> 00:40:53.219
So<00:40:50.500><c> he</c><00:40:50.719><c> talks</c><00:40:51.099><c> to</c><00:40:51.320><c> us</c><00:40:51.480><c> about</c><00:40:51.760><c> the</c><00:40:51.980><c> peace</c><00:40:52.179><c> of</c><00:40:52.400><c> God</c>

00:40:58.059 --> 00:40:59.559
In<00:40:58.219><c> verse</c><00:40:58.480><c> 11,</c>

00:41:06.360 --> 00:41:08.980
Oh,<00:41:07.619><c> boy,</c><00:41:07.719><c> isn't</c><00:41:07.820><c> that</c><00:41:08.099><c> important?</c>

00:41:10.619 --> 00:41:12.800
I<00:41:10.800><c> just</c><00:41:11.139><c> want</c><00:41:11.340><c> to</c><00:41:11.519><c> learn</c><00:41:11.699><c> this.</c>

00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:18.659
And<00:41:17.239><c> though</c><00:41:17.460><c> Paul</c><00:41:17.739><c> said</c><00:41:17.960><c> himself,</c><00:41:18.599><c> look,</c>

00:41:18.840 --> 00:41:20.900
I'm<00:41:19.039><c> in</c><00:41:19.139><c> the</c><00:41:19.280><c> twigster</c><00:41:19.679><c> straight</c><00:41:19.980><c> here</c><00:41:20.260><c> in</c><00:41:20.480><c> chapter</c><00:41:20.739><c> 1.</c>

00:41:20.980 --> 00:41:22.840
He<00:41:21.019><c> said,</c><00:41:21.159><c> I</c><00:41:21.280><c> have</c><00:41:21.719><c> a</c><00:41:21.940><c> desire</c><00:41:22.139><c> to</c><00:41:22.300><c> be</c><00:41:22.400><c> with</c><00:41:22.599><c> Christ,</c>

00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:24.119
but<00:41:23.039><c> it's</c><00:41:23.199><c> better</c><00:41:23.380><c> if</c><00:41:23.519><c> I'm</c><00:41:23.659><c> in</c><00:41:23.780><c> the</c><00:41:23.940><c> flesh.</c>

00:41:24.320 --> 00:41:26.719
I<00:41:24.460><c> can</c><00:41:24.679><c> continue</c><00:41:24.940><c> to</c><00:41:25.159><c> serve</c><00:41:25.280><c> you</c><00:41:25.480><c> all</c><00:41:25.599><c> once</c><00:41:25.820><c> then.</c>

00:41:40.840 --> 00:41:43.659

00:41:43.659 --> 00:41:46.400
because<00:41:43.900><c> the</c><00:41:44.219><c> next</c><00:41:44.559><c> moment</c><00:41:44.920><c> is</c><00:41:45.380><c> Christ</c><00:41:45.699><c> is</c><00:41:46.059><c> here,</c>
