The<00:34:48.179><c> Ecclesia</c><00:34:48.400><c> should</c><00:34:48.539><c> be</c><00:34:48.699><c> a</c><00:34:48.840><c> place</c><00:34:48.960><c> to</c><00:34:49.300><c> heal</c><00:34:49.500><c> those</c><00:34:49.760><c> and</c><00:34:50.239><c> make</c>

00:34:59.699 --> 00:35:03.280
He's<00:35:00.039><c> wise</c><00:35:00.400><c> because</c><00:35:00.699><c> when</c><00:35:00.980><c> Christ</c><00:35:01.360><c> came,</c><00:35:02.500><c> he</c><00:35:02.679><c> found</c><00:35:03.019><c> him</c>

00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:12.300
And<00:35:08.159><c> so</c><00:35:08.440><c> he</c><00:35:08.539><c> would</c><00:35:08.719><c> receive</c><00:35:09.079><c> that</c><00:35:09.360><c> reward</c><00:35:09.739><c> by</c><00:35:10.059><c> grace,</c><00:35:11.500><c> made</c><00:35:11.699><c> blameless</c><00:35:12.139><c> in</c>

00:35:12.300 --> 00:35:13.699
the<00:35:12.380><c> day</c><00:35:12.500><c> of</c><00:35:12.639><c> our</c><00:35:12.760><c> Lord</c><00:35:12.980><c> Jesus</c><00:35:13.320><c> Christ,</c>

00:35:13.739 --> 00:35:16.079
because<00:35:13.920><c> of</c><00:35:14.139><c> the</c><00:35:14.260><c> determined</c><00:35:14.519><c> efforts</c><00:35:14.900><c> to</c><00:35:15.159><c> overcome</c><00:35:15.480><c> the</c><00:35:15.760><c> flesh</c><00:35:15.940><c> and</c>

00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:17.019
to<00:35:16.340><c> strengthen</c><00:35:16.599><c> others.</c>

00:35:17.019 --> 00:35:19.699
But<00:35:18.260><c> verse</c><00:35:18.559><c> 45,</c>

00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:53.960
Now<00:35:51.320><c> that</c><00:35:51.800><c> word</c><00:35:52.280><c> for</c><00:35:52.920><c> beat,</c>

00:35:54.840 --> 00:35:57.159
in<00:35:54.900><c> my</c><00:35:55.440><c> short</c><00:35:55.659><c> experience</c><00:35:56.199><c> as</c><00:35:56.380><c> a</c><00:35:56.460><c> young</c><00:35:56.599><c> brother,</c><00:35:56.920><c> I</c><00:35:56.920><c> haven't</c>

00:35:57.159 --> 00:35:58.820
actually<00:35:57.780><c> seen</c>

00:35:58.820 --> 00:36:02.559
fisticuffs<00:35:59.599><c> of</c><00:36:00.239><c> brethren</c><00:36:00.559><c> beating</c><00:36:00.980><c> each</c><00:36:01.260><c> other</c><00:36:01.440><c> up.</c>

00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:07.079
And<00:36:04.920><c> that's</c><00:36:05.159><c> not,</c><00:36:05.579><c> I</c><00:36:05.599><c> don't</c><00:36:05.860><c> think</c><00:36:06.099><c> I've</c><00:36:06.360><c> ever</c><00:36:06.539><c> even</c><00:36:06.739><c> heard</c><00:36:06.840><c> of</c><00:36:06.980><c> that.</c>

00:36:07.079 --> 00:36:09.699
So<00:36:07.219><c> that's</c><00:36:07.360><c> great</c><00:36:07.619><c> that</c><00:36:07.739><c> we're</c><00:36:07.960><c> not</c><00:36:08.500><c> physically</c><00:36:09.260><c> doing</c><00:36:09.519><c> that</c>

00:36:09.699 --> 00:36:11.320
to<00:36:09.820><c> one</c><00:36:09.960><c> another.</c><00:36:10.219><c> But</c><00:36:10.320><c> it's</c><00:36:10.480><c> really</c><00:36:10.760><c> interesting</c><00:36:11.079><c> when</c><00:36:11.260><c> we</c>

00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:11.920
look<00:36:11.559><c> at</c>

00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:15.820
sayers<00:36:12.280><c> and</c><00:36:12.579><c> vines,</c><00:36:12.980><c> brothers</c><00:36:13.119><c> and</c><00:36:13.340><c> sisters,</c><00:36:14.179><c> for</c><00:36:14.920><c> definitions</c><00:36:15.400><c> of</c><00:36:15.599><c> that</c>

00:36:15.820 --> 00:36:17.300
word<00:36:15.940><c> and</c><00:36:16.079><c> how</c><00:36:16.260><c> else</c><00:36:16.400><c> it</c><00:36:16.519><c> is</c><00:36:16.659><c> used</c><00:36:16.820><c> in</c><00:36:17.079><c> scripture.</c>

00:36:17.500 --> 00:36:20.460
It<00:36:17.500><c> can</c><00:36:17.820><c> mean</c><00:36:18.000><c> to</c><00:36:18.260><c> physically</c><00:36:18.659><c> strike</c><00:36:19.219><c> or</c><00:36:19.780><c> smite,</c>

00:36:20.900 --> 00:36:24.500
but<00:36:21.099><c> it</c><00:36:21.300><c> also</c><00:36:21.659><c> has</c><00:36:22.159><c> a</c><00:36:22.800><c> figurative</c><00:36:23.260><c> or</c><00:36:23.559><c> metaphoric</c><00:36:24.199><c> sense</c><00:36:24.360><c> in</c>

00:36:24.500 --> 00:36:26.860
which<00:36:24.659><c> it</c><00:36:24.820><c> can</c><00:36:25.039><c> be</c><00:36:25.260><c> to</c><00:36:25.619><c> wound</c><00:36:26.079><c> or</c>

00:36:26.860 --> 00:36:30.820
disquiet<00:36:27.579><c> one's</c><00:36:28.079><c> conscience.</c><00:36:29.659><c> So</c><00:36:29.800><c> that's</c><00:36:30.119><c> interesting</c><00:36:30.539><c> now.</c>

00:36:30.840 --> 00:36:34.760
Similar<00:36:31.159><c> to</c><00:36:31.380><c> the</c><00:36:31.480><c> idea</c><00:36:31.860><c> of</c><00:36:32.099><c> bringing</c><00:36:32.340><c> the</c><00:36:32.639><c> quails</c><00:36:32.980><c> in</c><00:36:33.539><c> and</c><00:36:34.059><c> spreading</c><00:36:34.360><c> them</c><00:36:34.599><c> out</c>

00:36:34.760 --> 00:36:36.239
so<00:36:34.880><c> it's</c><00:36:35.019><c> difficult</c><00:36:35.440><c> to</c><00:36:35.599><c> get</c><00:36:35.719><c> the</c><00:36:35.940><c> word,</c>

00:36:36.239 --> 00:36:40.699
perhaps<00:36:36.960><c> there's</c><00:36:37.360><c> choices</c><00:36:37.739><c> that</c><00:36:37.980><c> we</c><00:36:38.179><c> make,</c><00:36:38.559><c> brothers</c><00:36:38.659><c> and</c><00:36:38.900><c> sisters.</c><00:36:39.159><c> There's</c><00:36:39.400><c> little</c><00:36:39.679><c> golden</c><00:36:40.079><c> idols</c><00:36:40.380><c> of</c>

various<00:36:40.920><c> sizes</c>

00:36:41.360 --> 00:36:45.079

faithful<00:36:46.960><c> servants</c><00:36:47.280><c> with</c><00:36:47.559><c> us.</c><00:36:48.500><c> And</c><00:36:48.679><c> we</c><00:36:48.780><c> may</c><00:36:48.960><c> think</c><00:36:49.139><c> we</c><00:36:49.300><c> are</c><00:36:49.519><c> strong</c><00:36:49.760><c> enough</c><00:36:50.019><c> to</c>

00:36:50.260 --> 00:36:51.300
deal<00:36:50.539><c> with</c><00:36:50.739><c> this</c><00:36:50.960><c> thing,</c>

00:36:51.739 --> 00:36:54.900
and<00:36:51.980><c> others</c><00:36:52.199><c> think,</c><00:36:52.539><c> well,</c><00:36:53.599><c> their</c><00:36:53.760><c> conscience</c><00:36:54.159><c> was</c><00:36:54.519><c> strong</c>

00:36:54.900 --> 00:36:56.639
to<00:36:55.119><c> avoid</c><00:36:55.380><c> that</c><00:36:55.639><c> temptation,</c><00:36:56.119><c> but</c>

00:36:56.639 --> 00:36:58.739
their<00:36:57.059><c> conscience</c><00:36:57.420><c> has</c><00:36:57.619><c> now</c><00:36:57.840><c> been</c><00:36:58.079><c> wounded,</c><00:36:58.360><c> and</c><00:36:58.500><c> it</c><00:36:58.579><c> makes</c>

00:36:58.739 --> 00:37:01.460
it<00:36:59.019><c> harder</c><00:36:59.239><c> for</c><00:36:59.400><c> them</c><00:36:59.539><c> to</c><00:36:59.820><c> avoid</c><00:37:00.000><c> it,</c><00:37:00.539><c> and</c><00:37:00.780><c> they</c><00:37:00.940><c> may</c><00:37:01.099><c> be</c><00:37:01.280><c> drawn</c>

00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:06.300
