Brethren<00:21:14.039><c> and</c><00:21:14.299><c> sisters,</c><00:21:14.579><c> this</c><00:21:14.859><c> is</c><00:21:15.200><c> sad,</c><00:21:15.799><c> isn't</c><00:21:15.980><c> it?</c>

00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:20.000
It<00:21:17.480><c> is</c><00:21:17.740><c> tragic</c><00:21:18.220><c> that</c><00:21:18.420><c> this</c><00:21:18.599><c> should</c><00:21:18.839><c> be</c><00:21:19.099><c> so</c><00:21:19.279><c> in</c><00:21:19.579><c> our</c><00:21:19.680><c> midst.</c>

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:26.079
Today,<00:21:20.539><c> we</c><00:21:22.460><c> need</c><00:21:22.880><c> to</c><00:21:23.059><c> be</c><00:21:23.420><c> feeding</c><00:21:23.799><c> the</c><00:21:24.240><c> flock</c><00:21:24.480><c> of</c><00:21:24.880><c> God.</c>

00:21:27.819 --> 00:21:29.299
We<00:21:27.920><c> need,</c><00:21:28.259><c> as</c><00:21:28.519><c> the</c><00:21:28.839><c> Ecclesia,</c>

00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:33.019
even<00:21:29.799><c> in</c><00:21:30.119><c> Paul's</c><00:21:30.619><c> day,</c><00:21:31.160><c> needed</c><00:21:31.779><c> fathers.</c>

00:21:33.680 --> 00:21:36.259
It<00:21:33.839><c> was</c><00:21:34.099><c> a</c><00:21:34.259><c> shortage</c><00:21:34.579><c> even</c><00:21:34.980><c> then.</c>

00:21:37.000 --> 00:21:39.920
Though<00:21:37.140><c> you</c><00:21:37.279><c> have</c><00:21:37.480><c> 10</c><00:21:37.839><c>,000</c><00:21:38.319><c> instructors</c><00:21:38.980><c> in</c><00:21:39.319><c> Christ,</c>

00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:44.400
Paul<00:21:40.480><c> said,</c><00:21:41.759><c> yet</c><00:21:42.019><c> have</c><00:21:42.279><c> ye</c><00:21:42.460><c> not</c><00:21:42.660><c> many</c><00:21:43.119><c> fathers.</c>

00:21:45.779 --> 00:21:49.160
It<00:21:46.380><c> is</c><00:21:46.619><c> true</c><00:21:46.819><c> today</c><00:21:47.299><c> as</c><00:21:47.500><c> it</c><00:21:47.700><c> was</c><00:21:47.880><c> then.</c>

00:21:50.039 --> 00:21:51.779
There<00:21:50.119><c> are</c><00:21:50.240><c> many</c><00:21:50.440><c> who</c><00:21:50.619><c> will</c><00:21:50.880><c> say,</c>

00:21:52.059 --> 00:21:53.279
let<00:21:52.380><c> me</c><00:21:52.519><c> show</c><00:21:52.700><c> you</c><00:21:52.880><c> this.</c>

00:21:53.720 --> 00:21:55.539
I<00:21:54.000><c> have</c><00:21:54.220><c> a</c><00:21:54.339><c> marvellous</c><00:21:54.759><c> gem</c><00:21:55.140><c> of</c><00:21:55.380><c> Scripture.</c>

00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:56.680
Let<00:21:55.880><c> me</c><00:21:56.059><c> teach</c><00:21:56.319><c> you</c><00:21:56.480><c> this.</c>

00:21:56.900 --> 00:21:59.119
I'll<00:21:57.319><c> tell</c><00:21:57.500><c> you</c><00:21:57.700><c> about</c><00:21:57.960><c> that.</c>

00:21:59.920 --> 00:22:04.779
There<00:22:00.119><c> are</c><00:22:00.339><c> many</c><00:22:00.799><c> fewer</c><00:22:01.519><c> fathers</c><00:22:02.339><c> who</c><00:22:03.779><c> care,</c>

00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:11.339
who,<00:22:08.319><c> as</c><00:22:08.720><c> Paul</c><00:22:09.119><c> said</c><00:22:09.539><c> of</c><00:22:10.079><c> his</c><00:22:10.480><c> fellow</c><00:22:10.900><c> worker,</c>

00:22:11.339 --> 00:22:15.359
will<00:22:12.039><c> naturally</c><00:22:12.920><c> care</c><00:22:13.519><c> for</c><00:22:13.859><c> your</c><00:22:14.240><c> estate.</c>

00:22:16.299 --> 00:22:19.039
How<00:22:17.259><c> many</c><00:22:17.539><c> do</c><00:22:17.740><c> you</c><00:22:17.940><c> know,</c><00:22:18.220><c> brethren</c><00:22:18.440><c> and</c><00:22:18.740><c> sisters,</c>

00:22:23.819 --> 00:22:24.779
Problems.

00:22:25.059 --> 00:22:27.980
Intimate,<00:22:26.220><c> personal</c><00:22:26.720><c> problems.</c>

00:22:29.119 --> 00:22:32.859
Problems<00:22:29.660><c> of</c><00:22:30.440><c> interpretation</c><00:22:31.359><c> and</c><00:22:31.839><c> Scripture,</c>

00:22:33.039 --> 00:22:37.180
where<00:22:33.160><c> you</c><00:22:33.500><c> know</c><00:22:33.779><c> that</c><00:22:33.980><c> you</c><00:22:34.140><c> would</c><00:22:34.619><c> obtain</c><00:22:35.099><c> a</c><00:22:35.460><c> Scriptural</c><00:22:36.039><c> answer.</c>

00:22:38.859 --> 00:22:41.859
We're<00:22:39.440><c> short</c><00:22:39.680><c> on</c><00:22:40.039><c> fathers,</c><00:22:40.759><c> aren't</c><00:22:40.779><c> we?</c>

00:22:43.460 --> 00:22:46.119
We<00:22:43.660><c> should</c><00:22:43.880><c> be,</c><00:22:44.099><c> as</c><00:22:44.279><c> Peter</c><00:22:44.619><c> exhorts</c><00:22:45.180><c> us,</c>

00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:48.440
to<00:22:46.960><c> feed</c><00:22:47.259><c> the</c><00:22:47.539><c> flock</c><00:22:47.720><c> of</c><00:22:48.059><c> God,</c>

00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:50.900
taking<00:22:49.240><c> the</c><00:22:49.579><c> oversight</c><00:22:50.099><c> willingly,</c>

00:22:51.240 --> 00:22:53.319
not<00:22:51.539><c> of</c><00:22:51.900><c> constraint.</c>

00:22:54.259 --> 00:22:55.440
Yet,<00:22:54.619><c> brethren</c><00:22:54.859><c> and</c><00:22:55.119><c> sisters,</c>

00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:58.240
in<00:22:55.819><c> the</c><00:22:56.500><c> fairly</c><00:22:56.720><c> large</c><00:22:57.140><c> number</c><00:22:57.559><c> of</c><00:22:57.819><c> Ecclesias</c>

00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:00.400
that<00:22:58.400><c> I</c><00:22:58.599><c> am</c><00:22:58.779><c> privileged</c><00:22:59.240><c> to</c><00:22:59.519><c> visit,</c>

00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:02.480
I<00:23:01.099><c> often</c><00:23:01.359><c> find</c><00:23:01.619><c> a</c><00:23:01.880><c> recording</c><00:23:02.200><c> brother</c>

00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:03.859

00:23:03.859 --> 00:23:05.940
because<00:23:04.119><c> there</c><00:23:04.259><c> was</c><00:23:04.440><c> no</c><00:23:04.579><c> one</c><00:23:04.740><c> else.</c>

00:23:06.680 --> 00:23:09.039
That's<00:23:07.319><c> sad,</c><00:23:07.759><c> isn't</c><00:23:07.940><c> it?</c>

00:23:09.200 --> 00:23:11.019
Well,<00:23:09.559><c> no</c><00:23:09.700><c> one</c><00:23:09.859><c> wanted</c><00:23:10.160><c> the</c><00:23:10.400><c> job,</c><00:23:10.559><c> he</c><00:23:10.799><c> said,</c>

00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:13.799
so<00:23:11.480><c> I</c><00:23:11.900><c> had</c><00:23:12.119><c> to</c><00:23:12.380><c> take</c><00:23:12.539><c> it</c><00:23:12.759><c> on.</c>

00:23:16.019 --> 00:23:18.059
That<00:23:16.220><c> is</c><00:23:16.539><c> tragic,</c><00:23:17.240><c> brethren</c><00:23:17.400><c> and</c><00:23:17.660><c> sisters,</c>

00:23:18.140 --> 00:23:20.539
that<00:23:18.500><c> no</c><00:23:18.839><c> one</c><00:23:19.079><c> wants</c><00:23:19.440><c> the</c><00:23:19.900><c> privilege</c>

00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:27.059

00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:36.880

00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:42.960
This,<00:23:39.619><c> brethren</c><00:23:39.619><c> and</c><00:23:39.920><c> sisters,</c><00:23:40.400><c> we</c><00:23:40.799><c> desperately</c><00:23:41.619><c> need.</c>

00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:47.000
And<00:23:45.160><c> we</c><00:23:45.339><c> are</c><00:23:45.680><c> here</c>

00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:50.579
that<00:23:47.880><c> we</c><00:23:48.099><c> might</c><00:23:48.400><c> receive</c><00:23:49.180><c> the</c><00:23:49.519><c> law,</c>

00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:02.720

00:34:02.980 --> 00:34:05.880
what<00:34:03.539><c> the</c><00:34:03.880><c> promised</c><00:34:04.140><c> land</c><00:34:04.599><c> meant,</c>

00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:15.940
As<00:34:14.179><c> we</c><00:34:14.340><c> said</c><00:34:14.519><c> yesterday,</c><00:34:15.079><c> it</c><00:34:15.139><c> was</c><00:34:15.320><c> no</c><00:34:15.559><c> picnic,</c>
