00:14:44.379 --> 00:14:48.320
It<00:14:44.440><c> was</c><00:14:44.720><c> just</c><00:14:45.279><c> strife</c><00:14:45.679><c> between</c><00:14:46.059><c> herdsmen</c><00:14:47.059><c> over</c><00:14:47.600><c> an</c><00:14:47.899><c> amount</c><00:14:48.059><c> of</c>

00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:31.700
Lot<00:17:28.839><c> lifted</c><00:17:29.480><c> up</c><00:17:30.039><c> his</c><00:17:30.359><c> eyes.</c>

00:17:31.779 --> 00:17:34.619

00:25:41.059 --> 00:25:43.880

00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:56.859
a<00:25:54.079><c> dweller</c><00:25:54.680><c> in</c><00:25:55.299><c> Sodom.</c>

00:25:59.579 --> 00:26:02.480
There<00:25:59.819><c> was</c><00:26:00.039><c> a</c><00:26:00.259><c> difference</c><00:26:00.700><c> in</c><00:26:01.019><c> their</c><00:26:01.319><c> decision</c><00:26:01.599><c> making.</c>

00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:06.380
For<00:26:03.539><c> Lot,</c><00:26:03.839><c> it</c><00:26:04.019><c> all</c><00:26:04.319><c> started</c><00:26:04.539><c> with</c><00:26:04.799><c> simply</c><00:26:05.220><c> pitching</c><00:26:05.480><c> his</c><00:26:05.839><c> tent</c>

And<00:26:08.880><c> yet</c><00:26:08.960><c> it</c><00:26:09.180><c> seems</c><00:26:09.559><c> almost</c><00:26:10.160><c> inevitable</c><00:26:10.759><c> as</c><00:26:11.779><c> to</c><00:26:11.900><c> what</c><00:26:11.980><c> would</c>

the<00:26:27.119><c> doubt.</c>

00:26:28.880 --> 00:26:31.700

00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:57.779
What<00:27:55.359><c> about</c><00:27:55.460><c> the</c><00:27:55.640><c> mindset</c><00:27:55.900><c> that</c><00:27:56.160><c> says,</c><00:27:56.380><c> yes,</c><00:27:56.579><c> I</c><00:27:56.640><c> know</c><00:27:56.799><c> that</c><00:27:57.039><c> movie</c><00:27:57.279><c> is</c>

00:27:58.700 --> 00:28:00.960
but<00:27:58.880><c> I'm</c><00:27:59.059><c> old</c><00:27:59.200><c> enough</c><00:27:59.359><c> to</c><00:27:59.480><c> know</c><00:27:59.539><c> what's</c><00:27:59.759><c> right</c><00:27:59.880><c> and</c><00:28:00.019><c> wrong.</c>

00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:05.660
Young<00:28:03.339><c> people,</c><00:28:03.640><c> it</c><00:28:03.640><c> may</c><00:28:03.819><c> start</c><00:28:04.220><c> innocently</c><00:28:04.740><c> enough.</c>

00:28:05.960 --> 00:28:09.559
A<00:28:06.359><c> decision</c><00:28:06.680><c> we</c><00:28:06.940><c> make,</c><00:28:07.160><c> a</c><00:28:07.299><c> choice</c><00:28:07.480><c> to</c><00:28:07.660><c> do</c><00:28:07.779><c> something</c><00:28:08.099><c> seemingly</c><00:28:08.579><c> small.</c>

00:28:09.980 --> 00:28:13.700
But<00:28:10.119><c> if</c><00:28:10.240><c> we</c><00:28:10.420><c> give</c><00:28:10.619><c> the</c><00:28:10.980><c> flesh</c><00:28:11.299><c> the</c><00:28:11.640><c> benefit</c><00:28:12.000><c> of</c><00:28:12.180><c> the</c><00:28:12.319><c> doubt,</c><00:28:13.519><c> it</c>

00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:18.079
And<00:28:16.220><c> it</c><00:28:16.359><c> becomes</c><00:28:16.579><c> critical</c><00:28:16.960><c> in</c><00:28:17.099><c> our</c><00:28:17.259><c> own</c><00:28:17.440><c> lives</c><00:28:17.619><c> to</c><00:28:17.839><c> consider</c>

00:28:18.079 --> 00:28:21.039
the<00:28:18.339><c> environment</c><00:28:18.799><c> that</c><00:28:18.980><c> we</c><00:28:19.160><c> choose</c><00:28:19.339><c> to</c><00:28:19.519><c> put</c><00:28:19.640><c> ourselves</c><00:28:20.019><c> in.</c>

00:28:21.759 --> 00:28:25.420
We<00:28:21.940><c> have</c><00:28:22.079><c> to</c><00:28:22.200><c> understand</c><00:28:22.480><c> that</c><00:28:22.619><c> there</c><00:28:22.759><c> are</c><00:28:22.960><c> other</c><00:28:23.180><c> factors</c><00:28:23.619><c> that</c><00:28:24.140><c> may</c><00:28:24.339><c> determine</c><00:28:24.759><c> where</c><00:28:24.980><c> we</c><00:28:25.220><c> live</c>

00:28:25.420 --> 00:28:27.799
or<00:28:25.559><c> where</c><00:28:25.700><c> we</c><00:28:25.819><c> go</c><00:28:25.900><c> to</c><00:28:26.140><c> school</c><00:28:26.420><c> or</c><00:28:26.559><c> where</c><00:28:26.759><c> we</c><00:28:26.940><c> work.</c>

00:28:27.819 --> 00:28:31.000
But<00:28:28.019><c> it's</c><00:28:28.259><c> so</c><00:28:28.539><c> important</c><00:28:28.900><c> that</c><00:28:29.039><c> we</c><00:28:29.240><c> try</c><00:28:29.440><c> as</c><00:28:29.759><c> hard</c><00:28:30.099><c> as</c><00:28:30.380><c> we</c><00:28:30.599><c> can</c>

our<00:28:34.759><c> development</c><00:28:35.180><c> before</c><00:28:35.500><c> God.</c>

00:28:37.779 --> 00:28:40.400
Back<00:28:38.059><c> home,</c><00:28:38.259><c> we</c><00:28:38.359><c> just</c><00:28:38.579><c> went</c><00:28:38.720><c> through</c><00:28:39.180><c> the</c><00:28:39.500><c> process</c><00:28:39.859><c> of</c><00:28:40.099><c> moving</c>

David's<00:35:28.460><c> first</c><00:35:28.760><c> thought</c><00:35:29.079><c> before</c><00:35:29.480><c> he</c><00:35:29.780><c> acted</c><00:35:30.099><c> was</c><00:35:30.460><c> to</c><00:35:30.960><c> go</c><00:35:31.099><c> to</c><00:35:31.260><c> God.</c>

00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:36.139
It's<00:35:33.059><c> a</c><00:35:33.219><c> valuable</c><00:35:33.539><c> lesson</c><00:35:33.880><c> as</c><00:35:34.059><c> we</c><00:35:34.199><c> start</c><00:35:34.400><c> to</c><00:35:34.639><c> see</c><00:35:34.719><c> these</c><00:35:34.980><c> events</c><00:35:35.280><c> unfold</c><00:35:35.820><c> in</c>

00:35:36.139 --> 00:35:37.280
Lot's<00:35:36.380><c> life.</c>

00:35:37.760 --> 00:35:42.599
You<00:35:37.920><c> can</c><00:35:38.280><c> still</c><00:35:38.460><c> be</c><00:35:38.719><c> righteous,</c><00:35:40.300><c> yet</c><00:35:40.500><c> fail</c><00:35:40.980><c> to</c><00:35:41.280><c> make</c><00:35:41.440><c> the</c><00:35:41.659><c> best</c><00:35:41.900><c> decision,</c>

00:35:43.059 --> 00:35:45.719
because<00:35:43.380><c> the</c><00:35:43.659><c> process</c><00:35:44.059><c> wasn't</c><00:35:44.380><c> done</c><00:35:44.659><c> properly.</c>

00:35:47.079 --> 00:35:50.719
Certainly<00:35:47.559><c> Lot</c><00:35:47.840><c> would</c><00:35:48.039><c> come</c><00:35:48.360><c> to</c><00:35:48.579><c> regret</c><00:35:49.059><c> this</c><00:35:49.760><c> decision.</c>

00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:53.960
I<00:35:51.420><c> think</c><00:35:51.539><c> there</c><00:35:51.679><c> can</c><00:35:51.820><c> be</c><00:35:51.940><c> no</c><00:35:52.179><c> doubt</c><00:35:52.500><c> about</c><00:35:52.820><c> that.</c>

00:35:54.260 --> 00:35:56.760
This<00:35:54.460><c> would</c><00:35:54.619><c> be</c><00:35:54.739><c> one</c><00:35:54.960><c> decision</c><00:35:55.380><c> that</c><00:35:55.539><c> he</c><00:35:55.659><c> would</c><00:35:55.880><c> regret.</c>

00:35:57.719 --> 00:36:00.099
And<00:35:57.820><c> young</c><00:35:57.960><c> people,</c><00:35:58.159><c> we</c><00:35:58.320><c> have</c><00:35:58.500><c> the</c><00:35:58.699><c> opportunity</c><00:35:59.199><c> as</c><00:35:59.420><c> we</c><00:35:59.739><c> study</c>

00:36:00.099 --> 00:36:01.539
the<00:36:00.800><c> character</c><00:36:01.139><c> of</c><00:36:01.420><c> Lot,</c>

00:36:01.559 --> 00:36:06.780
as<00:36:01.679><c> we</c><00:36:01.900><c> study</c><00:36:02.099><c> these</c><00:36:02.460><c> chapters,</c><00:36:03.099><c> to</c><00:36:03.139><c> work</c><00:36:03.400><c> on</c><00:36:03.619><c> our</c><00:36:03.860><c> own</c><00:36:04.280><c> spiritual</c><00:36:04.960><c> decision</c><00:36:05.420><c>-making</c><00:36:05.719><c> process.</c>

00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:09.639
Just<00:36:07.699><c> think</c><00:36:07.940><c> through</c><00:36:08.119><c> in</c><00:36:08.219><c> your</c><00:36:08.380><c> own</c><00:36:08.619><c> minds</c><00:36:08.900><c> to</c><00:36:09.139><c> a</c><00:36:09.340><c> decision</c>

00:36:09.639 --> 00:36:12.800
you<00:36:10.000><c> made</c><00:36:10.440><c> that</c><00:36:11.280><c> you</c><00:36:11.480><c> now</c><00:36:11.739><c> regret.</c>

00:36:14.019 --> 00:36:18.219
Oftentimes<00:36:14.539><c> it's</c><00:36:14.900><c> because</c><00:36:15.139><c> we</c><00:36:15.260><c> didn't</c><00:36:15.420><c> have</c><00:36:15.579><c> a</c><00:36:15.820><c> proper</c><00:36:16.219><c> process</c><00:36:16.800><c> in</c><00:36:17.139><c> place.</c>

00:36:19.559 --> 00:36:22.219
By<00:36:19.739><c> way</c><00:36:19.920><c> of</c><00:36:20.119><c> example,</c><00:36:20.480><c> one</c><00:36:20.619><c> of</c><00:36:20.719><c> the</c><00:36:20.860><c> biggest</c><00:36:21.079><c> regrets</c><00:36:21.679><c> growing</c>

00:36:22.219 --> 00:36:25.960
up<00:36:22.960><c> was</c><00:36:23.579><c> a</c><00:36:23.840><c> direct</c><00:36:24.039><c> result</c><00:36:24.599><c> of</c><00:36:25.320><c> myself</c>

00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:30.840
not<00:36:26.199><c> having</c><00:36:26.400><c> a</c><00:36:26.679><c> proper</c><00:36:27.099><c> plan</c><00:36:27.480><c> in</c><00:36:27.800><c> place</c><00:36:28.239><c> to</c><00:36:28.820><c> really</c><00:36:29.099><c> think</c><00:36:29.340><c> through</c><00:36:29.579><c> it,</c>

00:36:31.059 --> 00:36:33.039
to<00:36:31.380><c> make</c><00:36:31.559><c> smarter</c><00:36:31.920><c> decisions.</c>

00:36:34.420 --> 00:36:36.360
I<00:36:34.639><c> remember</c><00:36:34.820><c> once</c><00:36:35.059><c> it</c><00:36:35.119><c> was</c><00:36:35.320><c> a</c><00:36:35.500><c> Saturday.</c>

00:36:36.860 --> 00:36:40.300
My<00:36:37.079><c> cousin</c><00:36:37.340><c> was</c><00:36:37.599><c> over,</c><00:36:38.719><c> and</c><00:36:39.039><c> my</c><00:36:39.280><c> younger</c><00:36:39.519><c> brother</c><00:36:39.719><c> Mark</c><00:36:40.000><c> and</c><00:36:40.199><c> I</c>

00:36:40.300 --> 00:36:41.800
went<00:36:40.420><c> out</c><00:36:40.579><c> with</c><00:36:40.739><c> my</c><00:36:40.940><c> cousin.</c>

00:36:42.000 --> 00:36:44.559
And<00:36:42.440><c> it</c><00:36:42.559><c> was</c><00:36:42.760><c> wintertime,</c><00:36:43.239><c> so</c><00:36:43.400><c> we</c><00:36:43.480><c> were</c><00:36:43.579><c> outside</c><00:36:44.039><c> for</c><00:36:44.239><c> most</c><00:36:44.400><c> of</c>

00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:45.760
the<00:36:44.679><c> day.</c>

00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:48.539
And<00:36:46.300><c> across</c><00:36:46.579><c> from</c><00:36:46.739><c> our</c><00:36:46.920><c> house</c><00:36:47.219><c> there</c><00:36:47.440><c> was</c><00:36:47.679><c> a</c><00:36:47.880><c> forest,</c><00:36:48.280><c> and</c><00:36:48.420><c> on</c>

00:36:48.539 --> 00:36:51.400
the<00:36:48.659><c> other</c><00:36:48.860><c> side</c><00:36:48.980><c> of</c><00:36:49.059><c> that</c><00:36:49.260><c> forest</c><00:36:49.619><c> was</c><00:36:50.039><c> a</c><00:36:50.300><c> major</c><00:36:50.519><c> road.</c>

00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:54.639
So<00:36:52.280><c> we</c><00:36:52.360><c> go</c><00:36:52.460><c> up</c><00:36:52.599><c> to</c><00:36:52.699><c> the</c><00:36:52.900><c> forest,</c><00:36:53.300><c> we</c><00:36:53.659><c> make</c><00:36:53.920><c> snowballs,</c>

00:36:55.119 --> 00:36:57.579
and<00:36:55.539><c> we</c><00:36:55.800><c> start</c><00:36:55.980><c> throwing</c><00:36:56.360><c> the</c><00:36:56.619><c> snowballs</c><00:36:56.880><c> at</c><00:36:57.039><c> the</c><00:36:57.199><c> cars</c><00:36:57.420><c> that</c>

00:36:57.579 --> 00:36:58.880
are<00:36:57.679><c> passing</c><00:36:57.980><c> by.</c>

00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:03.940
Well,<00:36:59.960><c> we</c><00:37:00.059><c> hit</c><00:37:00.179><c> a</c><00:37:00.420><c> truck,</c><00:37:01.760><c> and</c><00:37:02.039><c> we</c><00:37:02.159><c> hit</c><00:37:02.239><c> him</c><00:37:02.420><c> hard,</c><00:37:02.719><c> and</c><00:37:02.900><c> unbeknownst</c><00:37:03.380><c> to</c><00:37:03.519><c> us,</c>

00:37:03.940 --> 00:37:05.480
he<00:37:04.139><c> was</c><00:37:04.380><c> pretty</c><00:37:04.599><c> angry.</c>

00:37:05.639 --> 00:37:09.460
So<00:37:05.940><c> we</c><00:37:06.059><c> turned</c><00:37:06.320><c> around,</c><00:37:07.519><c> and</c><00:37:07.800><c> he</c><00:37:07.980><c> pulled</c><00:37:08.119><c> into</c><00:37:08.340><c> our</c><00:37:08.599><c> survey.</c>

00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:13.119
He<00:37:10.000><c> ran</c><00:37:10.199><c> up</c><00:37:10.360><c> the</c><00:37:10.500><c> hill</c><00:37:10.639><c> into</c><00:37:10.860><c> the</c><00:37:11.039><c> woods,</c><00:37:12.139><c> and</c><00:37:12.260><c> he</c><00:37:12.420><c> starts</c><00:37:12.579><c> screaming</c><00:37:12.920><c> at</c>

00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:15.219
us<00:37:13.219><c> as</c><00:37:13.340><c> he's</c><00:37:13.480><c> running</c><00:37:13.719><c> towards</c><00:37:14.059><c> us.</c>

00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:18.139
Well,<00:37:16.219><c> we</c><00:37:16.300><c> hear</c><00:37:16.420><c> him</c><00:37:16.659><c> coming,</c><00:37:16.880><c> and</c><00:37:17.000><c> the</c><00:37:17.179><c> first</c><00:37:17.400><c> reaction</c><00:37:17.900><c> is</c>

00:37:18.139 --> 00:37:19.639
just<00:37:18.420><c> to</c><00:37:18.659><c> run.</c>

00:37:20.219 --> 00:37:22.519
So<00:37:20.500><c> my</c><00:37:20.679><c> cousin</c><00:37:20.960><c> and</c><00:37:21.159><c> I</c><00:37:21.320><c> take</c><00:37:21.519><c> off.</c>

00:37:23.420 --> 00:37:26.659
My<00:37:23.639><c> brother's</c><00:37:24.179><c> five</c><00:37:24.440><c> years</c><00:37:24.699><c> younger,</c><00:37:25.659><c> and</c><00:37:25.960><c> this</c><00:37:26.079><c> was</c><00:37:26.260><c> a</c><00:37:26.320><c> number</c><00:37:26.500><c> of</c>

00:37:26.659 --> 00:37:27.860
years<00:37:26.880><c> ago.</c>

00:37:27.960 --> 00:37:30.380
So<00:37:28.280><c> he's</c><00:37:28.440><c> much</c><00:37:28.719><c> slower,</c><00:37:28.980><c> and</c><00:37:29.099><c> he</c><00:37:29.159><c> gets</c><00:37:29.360><c> caught.</c>

00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:33.900
And<00:37:31.219><c> this</c><00:37:31.400><c> man,</c><00:37:31.820><c> being</c><00:37:31.920><c> very</c><00:37:32.300><c> angry,</c><00:37:32.699><c> takes</c><00:37:32.940><c> my</c><00:37:33.219><c> brother,</c><00:37:33.619><c> puts</c><00:37:33.739><c> him</c>

00:37:39.599 --> 00:37:42.880
That<00:37:39.820><c> experience</c><00:37:40.340><c> affected</c><00:37:40.679><c> my</c><00:37:40.960><c> brother</c><00:37:41.219><c> for</c><00:37:41.539><c> many</c><00:37:41.760><c> years,</c><00:37:42.619><c> and</c><00:37:42.840><c> I</c>

didn't<00:37:43.059><c> really</c><00:37:43.280><c> realize</c><00:37:43.639><c> it.</c>

00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:47.099
I<00:37:45.440><c> didn't</c><00:37:45.679><c> know</c><00:37:46.039><c> how</c><00:37:46.199><c> it</c><00:37:46.320><c> was</c><00:37:46.360><c> going</c><00:37:46.480><c> to</c><00:37:46.639><c> affect</c><00:37:46.800><c> him,</c><00:37:47.000><c> because</c>

00:37:47.099 --> 00:37:48.719
