Now<00:06:12.540><c> some</c><00:06:12.779><c> of</c><00:06:13.000><c> us</c><00:06:13.199><c> think</c><00:06:13.519><c> in</c><00:06:13.699><c> terms</c><00:06:14.160><c> of</c><00:06:14.759><c> visual</c><00:06:15.259><c> images.</c>

00:06:16.500 --> 00:06:20.920
Those<00:06:17.019><c> are</c><00:06:17.279><c> the</c><00:06:17.500><c> artists</c><00:06:18.000><c> amongst</c><00:06:18.519><c> us,</c><00:06:18.939><c> the</c><00:06:19.220><c> creative</c><00:06:19.699><c> people.</c>

00:06:21.040 --> 00:06:25.240
They<00:06:21.139><c> go</c><00:06:21.379><c> out</c><00:06:21.639><c> on</c><00:06:21.800><c> a</c><00:06:21.860><c> beautiful</c><00:06:22.439><c> sunlit</c><00:06:22.920><c> night,</c><00:06:24.259><c> on</c><00:06:24.360><c> a</c><00:06:24.439><c> sunlit</c><00:06:24.839><c> day.</c>

00:06:25.500 --> 00:06:28.579
And<00:06:25.620><c> they</c><00:06:25.819><c> see</c><00:06:26.120><c> the</c><00:06:26.399><c> beauty</c><00:06:26.740><c> in</c><00:06:26.959><c> the</c><00:06:27.199><c> clouds</c><00:06:27.660><c> and</c><00:06:27.839><c> the</c><00:06:28.040><c> sky.</c>

00:06:28.879 --> 00:06:31.279
And<00:06:29.139><c> they're</c><00:06:29.319><c> full</c><00:06:29.579><c> of</c><00:06:29.860><c> rapture</c><00:06:30.319><c> and</c><00:06:30.500><c> full</c><00:06:30.620><c> of</c><00:06:30.819><c> emotion.</c>

00:06:31.699 --> 00:06:35.939
And<00:06:31.899><c> they</c><00:06:32.180><c> perceive</c><00:06:32.600><c> the</c><00:06:32.819><c> things</c><00:06:33.079><c> in</c><00:06:34.000><c> spatial</c><00:06:34.480><c> terms.</c>

00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:40.420
There<00:06:37.060><c> are</c><00:06:37.199><c> others</c><00:06:37.800><c> who</c><00:06:38.720><c> see</c><00:06:38.879><c> it</c><00:06:39.120><c> in</c><00:06:39.379><c> word.</c>

00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.319
They<00:06:40.819><c> get</c><00:06:41.100><c> down</c><00:06:41.399><c> in</c><00:06:41.620><c> the</c><00:06:41.759><c> study,</c><00:06:42.160><c> they</c><00:06:42.300><c> open</c><00:06:42.540><c> the</c><00:06:42.779><c> books</c><00:06:43.060><c> and</c>

00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:44.360
they<00:06:43.519><c> read</c><00:06:43.720><c> the</c><00:06:43.980><c> words.</c>

00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:48.480
And<00:06:44.699><c> they</c><00:06:44.839><c> penetrate</c><00:06:45.399><c> using</c><00:06:46.300><c> a</c><00:06:46.639><c> concordance</c><00:06:47.300><c> and</c><00:06:47.579><c> an</c><00:06:47.680><c> encyclopedia.</c>

00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:54.279
And<00:06:48.759><c> they</c><00:06:49.300><c> pursue</c><00:06:49.759><c> the</c><00:06:50.040><c> language,</c><00:06:50.819><c> the</c><00:06:50.959><c> little</c><00:06:51.240><c> building</c><00:06:51.800><c> bricks</c><00:06:52.399><c> of</c><00:06:53.720><c> knowledge.</c>

00:06:54.540 --> 00:06:57.079
And<00:06:54.720><c> they</c><00:06:54.980><c> think</c><00:06:55.220><c> by</c><00:06:55.439><c> means</c><00:06:55.660><c> of</c><00:06:55.980><c> words.</c>

00:06:58.819 --> 00:07:01.800
A<00:06:59.019><c> mechanistic,</c><00:07:00.500><c> linear</c><00:07:00.959><c> approach.</c>

00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:07.040
Brick<00:07:02.819><c> by</c><00:07:03.060><c> brick,</c><00:07:04.060><c> word</c><00:07:04.300><c> by</c><00:07:04.639><c> word,</c><00:07:05.279><c> idea</c><00:07:05.600><c> by</c><00:07:05.939><c> idea.</c>

00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:10.399
And<00:07:07.220><c> that's</c><00:07:07.720><c> broadly</c><00:07:08.160><c> two</c><00:07:08.660><c> kinds</c><00:07:09.160><c> of</c><00:07:09.540><c> thinking.</c>

00:07:10.420 --> 00:07:12.100
Now<00:07:10.540><c> that</c><00:07:10.620><c> goes</c><00:07:10.899><c> on</c><00:07:11.300><c> within</c><00:07:11.500><c> the</c><00:07:11.720><c> brain.</c>

00:07:12.100 --> 00:07:18.399
And<00:07:13.019><c> then</c><00:07:13.220><c> we</c><00:07:13.459><c> come</c><00:07:13.759><c> to</c><00:07:14.240><c> think</c><00:07:14.800><c> those</c><00:07:15.459><c> ideas</c><00:07:16.439><c> into</c><00:07:17.120><c> words.</c>

00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:22.360
And<00:07:19.139><c> there</c><00:07:19.279><c> is</c><00:07:19.680><c> a</c><00:07:19.959><c> process</c><00:07:20.379><c> which</c><00:07:20.639><c> goes</c><00:07:20.980><c> on</c><00:07:21.420><c> in</c><00:07:21.720><c> our</c><00:07:21.920><c> minds</c>

00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:27.139
which<00:07:23.000><c> collects</c><00:07:23.560><c> our</c><00:07:23.939><c> thoughts</c><00:07:24.420><c> into</c><00:07:25.240><c> words</c><00:07:26.000><c> and</c><00:07:26.500><c> sentences.</c>

00:07:27.620 --> 00:07:30.379
Now<00:07:27.699><c> the</c><00:07:27.779><c> trouble</c><00:07:28.019><c> is</c><00:07:28.319><c> that</c><00:07:28.540><c> very</c><00:07:28.839><c> often</c><00:07:29.160><c> we</c><00:07:29.360><c> don't</c><00:07:29.860><c> get</c><00:07:30.180><c> to</c>

00:07:30.379 --> 00:07:31.180
that<00:07:30.579><c> stage.</c>

00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:33.660
We<00:07:31.800><c> don't</c><00:07:32.060><c> put</c><00:07:32.279><c> our</c><00:07:32.620><c> mind</c><00:07:32.939><c> in</c><00:07:33.220><c> gear.</c>

00:07:33.779 --> 00:07:36.459
And<00:07:34.100><c> we</c><00:07:34.379><c> speak</c><00:07:34.959><c> too</c><00:07:35.819><c> flippantly.</c>

00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:38.180
We<00:07:37.019><c> speak</c><00:07:37.399><c> too</c><00:07:37.779><c> quickly.</c>

00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:41.600
We're<00:07:38.879><c> not</c><00:07:39.220><c> in</c><00:07:39.620><c> control</c><00:07:40.160><c> of</c><00:07:40.399><c> our</c><00:07:40.660><c> thoughts.</c>

00:07:42.100 --> 00:07:45.639
That's<00:07:42.699><c> where</c><00:07:42.860><c> danger</c><00:07:43.519><c> is</c><00:07:44.339><c> staring</c><00:07:44.660><c> us</c><00:07:44.899><c> in</c><00:07:45.100><c> the</c><00:07:45.199><c> face.</c>

00:07:45.939 --> 00:07:48.319
And<00:07:46.139><c> that's</c><00:07:46.519><c> when</c><00:07:46.759><c> ecclesial</c><00:07:47.259><c> crises</c><00:07:47.740><c> occur.</c>

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.660
Because<00:07:48.860><c> people</c><00:07:49.180><c> have</c><00:07:49.439><c> not</c><00:07:49.560><c> put</c><00:07:49.839><c> their</c><00:07:50.339><c> mind</c><00:07:50.879><c> into</c><00:07:51.199><c> gear.</c>

00:07:51.920 --> 00:07:55.240
And<00:07:52.019><c> they're</c><00:07:52.279><c> expressing</c><00:07:52.660><c> their</c><00:07:53.060><c> words</c><00:07:53.579><c> without</c><00:07:54.060><c> having</c><00:07:54.579><c> thought</c><00:07:54.939><c> out</c>

00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:56.120
the<00:07:55.540><c> sentences.</c>

00:07:56.500 --> 00:07:58.480
And<00:07:56.839><c> where</c><00:07:57.060><c> the</c><00:07:57.300><c> sentences</c><00:07:57.699><c> take</c><00:07:58.160><c> them.</c>

00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.939
And<00:07:58.879><c> where</c><00:07:59.000><c> the</c><00:07:59.240><c> sentences</c><00:07:59.800><c> lead</c><00:08:00.259><c> in</c><00:08:00.459><c> their</c><00:08:00.699><c> lives</c><00:08:01.019><c> to</c><00:08:01.220><c> an</c><00:08:01.399><c> expression</c><00:08:01.699><c> of</c>

00:08:01.939 --> 00:08:02.500
their<00:08:02.079><c> belief.</c>

00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:06.139
So<00:08:03.160><c> we</c><00:08:03.379><c> need</c><00:08:03.759><c> to</c><00:08:04.120><c> think</c><00:08:04.480><c> through</c><00:08:04.879><c> that</c><00:08:05.139><c> which</c><00:08:05.300><c> we're</c><00:08:05.540><c> going</c><00:08:05.620><c> to</c><00:08:05.899><c> speak.</c>

00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:09.420
I'm<00:08:06.680><c> sure</c><00:08:06.860><c> all</c><00:08:07.120><c> of</c><00:08:07.220><c> you</c><00:08:07.399><c> have</c><00:08:07.399><c> been</c><00:08:07.680><c> in</c><00:08:07.839><c> meetings,</c><00:08:08.879><c> in</c><00:08:09.199><c> a</c>

00:08:09.420 --> 00:08:10.180
committee<00:08:09.660><c> meeting.</c>

00:08:10.180 --> 00:08:11.939
And<00:08:10.740><c> there's</c><00:08:10.980><c> one</c><00:08:11.199><c> member</c><00:08:11.420><c> of</c><00:08:11.560><c> the</c><00:08:11.759><c> committee.</c>

00:08:12.060 --> 00:08:14.000
It<00:08:12.079><c> might</c><00:08:12.279><c> be</c><00:08:12.439><c> an</c><00:08:12.620><c> arranging</c><00:08:12.959><c> committee.</c>

00:08:14.060 --> 00:08:16.819
And<00:08:14.259><c> one</c><00:08:14.439><c> brother</c><00:08:14.759><c> very</c><00:08:15.360><c> rarely</c><00:08:15.600><c> speaks.</c>

00:08:18.759 --> 00:08:24.860
And<00:08:19.399><c> at</c><00:08:20.040><c> the</c><00:08:20.139><c> end</c><00:08:20.360><c> of</c><00:08:20.560><c> half</c><00:08:20.699><c> an</c><00:08:20.939><c> hour's</c><00:08:21.759><c> heated</c><00:08:22.279><c> or</c><00:08:23.040><c> difficult</c><00:08:23.680><c> discussion</c>

00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:29.100
he<00:08:25.439><c> clears</c><00:08:25.740><c> his</c><00:08:26.100><c> throat</c><00:08:26.399><c> and</c><00:08:26.680><c> he</c><00:08:26.860><c> says</c><00:08:27.100><c> to</c><00:08:27.860><c> our</c><00:08:28.259><c> brethren</c>

00:08:29.459 --> 00:08:35.159
I<00:08:30.100><c> think</c><00:08:30.399><c> we</c><00:08:31.100><c> possibly</c><00:08:31.519><c> ought</c><00:08:31.720><c> to</c><00:08:31.879><c> do</c><00:08:32.059><c> this</c><00:08:33.279><c> on</c><00:08:33.779><c> the</c><00:08:34.039><c> silence.</c>

00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:37.840
Because<00:08:36.019><c> he's</c><00:08:36.299><c> obviously</c><00:08:36.820><c> right.</c>

00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:43.080
Now<00:08:40.360><c> that's</c><00:08:41.279><c> because</c><00:08:41.519><c> his</c><00:08:41.899><c> thoughts</c><00:08:42.299><c> about</c><00:08:42.620><c> what</c><00:08:42.779><c> he's</c><00:08:42.879><c> going</c>

00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:43.799
to<00:08:43.340><c> say</c>

00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:48.840
we<00:08:44.539><c> need</c><00:08:44.820><c> more</c><00:08:45.279><c> thoughts</c><00:08:45.860><c> and</c><00:08:46.440><c> less</c><00:08:46.879><c> verbiage.</c>

00:08:50.860 --> 00:08:53.399
Now<00:08:51.059><c> having</c><00:08:51.620><c> given</c><00:08:52.220><c> you</c><00:08:52.419><c> that</c><00:08:52.720><c> notion</c>

00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:58.360
when<00:08:53.980><c> we</c><00:08:54.259><c> come</c><00:08:54.500><c> then</c><00:08:54.740><c> to</c><00:08:55.059><c> words,</c><00:08:56.200><c> the</c><00:08:56.419><c> ideas</c><00:08:57.080><c> being</c><00:08:57.779><c> conveyed</c>

00:08:58.360 --> 00:08:59.340

00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:54.900
It's<00:18:53.180><c> to</c><00:18:53.359><c> us</c><00:18:53.539><c> who</c><00:18:53.700><c> are</c><00:18:53.819><c> the</c><00:18:53.980><c> children</c><00:18:54.200><c> of</c><00:18:54.480><c> God.</c>

00:19:05.579 --> 00:19:07.200
In<00:19:05.640><c> fact,</c><00:19:05.900><c> I</c><00:19:06.000><c> think</c><00:19:06.220><c> there's</c><00:19:06.440><c> only</c><00:19:06.759><c> one</c>

00:19:07.500 --> 00:19:08.779

00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:14.480
And<00:19:12.099><c> it</c><00:19:12.279><c> talks</c><00:19:12.640><c> about</c><00:19:13.539><c> preparing</c>

00:19:22.380 --> 00:19:24.359
It<00:19:23.019><c> requires</c><00:19:23.480><c> much</c><00:19:23.799><c> effort,</c>

00:19:24.700 --> 00:19:26.559
much<00:19:25.019><c> concentration,</c>

00:19:30.099 --> 00:19:31.579
But<00:19:30.299><c> when</c><00:19:30.500><c> you've</c><00:19:30.759><c> found</c><00:19:31.079><c> it,</c>

00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:34.920
it's<00:19:32.480><c> joy,</c><00:19:33.240><c> it's</c><00:19:33.420><c> riches</c><00:19:33.680><c> indeed.</c>

00:19:36.019 --> 00:19:39.660
And<00:19:36.279><c> if</c><00:19:36.420><c> you</c><00:19:36.619><c> find</c><00:19:37.200><c> the</c><00:19:37.759><c> treasure</c><00:19:38.039><c> in</c><00:19:38.240><c> the</c><00:19:38.359><c> Word</c><00:19:38.519><c> of</c><00:19:38.819><c> God,</c>

00:19:39.920 --> 00:19:42.420
then<00:19:40.420><c> you</c><00:19:40.960><c> understand</c><00:19:41.400><c> the</c><00:19:41.660><c> fear</c><00:19:41.799><c> of</c><00:19:41.980><c> the</c><00:19:42.119><c> Lord</c>

00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:45.259
and<00:19:42.640><c> you</c><00:19:42.799><c> find</c><00:19:42.980><c> the</c><00:19:43.200><c> knowledge</c><00:19:43.740><c> of</c><00:19:44.359><c> God.</c>

00:19:45.700 --> 00:19:47.440
Now<00:19:45.880><c> the</c><00:19:45.900><c> book</c><00:19:46.099><c> of</c><00:19:46.359><c> Proverbs</c><00:19:46.700><c> describes</c>

00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:49.039
this<00:19:47.700><c> power</c><00:19:48.079><c> of</c><00:19:48.259><c> God's</c><00:19:48.720><c> words</c>

00:19:49.039 --> 00:19:51.700
as<00:19:49.480><c> the</c><00:19:49.839><c> wisdom</c><00:19:50.299><c> of</c><00:19:50.700><c> God.</c>

00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:54.240
Now<00:19:52.279><c> the</c><00:19:52.599><c> notion</c><00:19:53.079><c> the</c><00:19:53.420><c> wisdom</c><00:19:53.759><c> of</c><00:19:54.059><c> God</c>

00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.119
is<00:19:54.440><c> an</c><00:19:54.720><c> abstract</c><00:19:55.259><c> idea</c>

00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:59.740

00:20:00.099 --> 00:20:01.299
Now<00:20:00.259><c> again,</c><00:20:00.500><c> like</c><00:20:00.740><c> yesterday,</c>

00:20:03.220 --> 00:20:05.240

00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:07.900
take<00:20:05.779><c> hold</c><00:20:06.160><c> of</c><00:20:06.359><c> this</c><00:20:06.539><c> notion</c><00:20:06.799><c> in</c><00:20:06.960><c> the</c><00:20:06.980><c> book</c><00:20:07.160><c> of</c><00:20:07.420><c> Proverbs</c>

00:20:07.900 --> 00:20:10.140
and<00:20:08.440><c> take</c><00:20:08.720><c> it</c><00:20:08.960><c> beyond,</c><00:20:09.339><c> I</c><00:20:09.619><c> believe,</c>

00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:12.440
its<00:20:10.640><c> spiritual</c><00:20:11.079><c> significance.</c>

00:20:12.460 --> 00:20:14.900
And<00:20:12.759><c> because</c><00:20:13.039><c> it</c><00:20:13.359><c> sounds</c><00:20:13.839><c> as</c><00:20:14.119><c> if</c>

00:20:14.900 --> 00:20:16.700
Christ<00:20:15.319><c> was</c><00:20:15.640><c> existent</c><00:20:15.980><c> at</c><00:20:16.119><c> the</c><00:20:16.299><c> creation,</c>

00:20:18.099 --> 00:20:20.680
When,<00:20:18.859><c> of</c><00:20:18.920><c> course,</c><00:20:19.779><c> he</c><00:20:19.920><c> was</c><00:20:20.160><c> born</c>

00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:22.660

00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:32.440
And<00:20:30.519><c> I</c><00:20:30.539><c> want</c><00:20:30.680><c> for</c><00:20:30.779><c> a</c><00:20:30.920><c> moment</c><00:20:31.119><c> or</c><00:20:31.279><c> two</c><00:20:31.380><c> just</c><00:20:31.720><c> to</c><00:20:31.940><c> pursue</c><00:20:32.200><c> this</c>

because<00:20:32.960><c> this</c><00:20:33.359><c> is</c><00:20:33.519><c> a</c><00:20:33.740><c> difficult</c><00:20:34.200><c> area</c>

00:20:41.920 --> 00:20:44.799

00:20:44.980 --> 00:20:46.460
And<00:20:45.640><c> at</c><00:20:45.839><c> the</c><00:20:46.039><c> surface,</c>

00:20:46.460 --> 00:20:48.839

00:20:49.259 --> 00:20:51.660
Let's<00:20:49.700><c> go</c><00:20:49.859><c> in</c><00:20:50.000><c> at</c><00:20:50.160><c> verse</c><00:20:50.319><c> 22.</c>

00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:56.220
And<00:20:53.299><c> it's</c><00:20:53.839><c> Jesus</c><00:20:54.480><c> who</c><00:20:54.859><c> is</c><00:20:55.119><c> speaking.</c>

00:20:56.460 --> 00:20:58.440
And<00:20:56.559><c> as</c><00:20:56.799><c> I</c><00:20:57.019><c> said</c><00:20:57.200><c> yesterday,</c>

00:21:10.319 --> 00:21:14.039
in<00:21:10.819><c> anticipation</c><00:21:11.779><c> of</c><00:21:12.480><c> he</c><00:21:12.740><c> who</c><00:21:12.900><c> would</c><00:21:13.240><c> come</c>
