00:05:07.699 --> 00:05:11.300

00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.600

00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.639
Maybe<00:05:19.439><c> if</c><00:05:19.600><c> we</c><00:05:19.680><c> get</c><00:05:19.819><c> to</c><00:05:20.060><c> work,</c><00:05:20.319><c> we'll</c><00:05:20.459><c> feel</c><00:05:20.639><c> happy.</c><00:05:20.980><c> And</c><00:05:21.100><c> I</c><00:05:21.259><c> believe</c><00:05:21.420><c> this</c>

00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:22.819
is<00:05:21.980><c> fundamentally</c><00:05:22.439><c> true.</c>

00:05:22.860 --> 00:05:25.600

00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.519
So<00:05:27.980><c> that's</c><00:05:28.259><c> what</c><00:05:28.360><c> we</c><00:05:28.500><c> set</c><00:05:28.639><c> out</c><00:05:28.800><c> to</c><00:05:28.939><c> do.</c><00:05:29.240><c> And</c><00:05:29.259><c> then</c><00:05:30.300><c> somebody</c>

00:05:31.639 --> 00:05:33.480
There's<00:05:31.740><c> three</c><00:05:32.000><c> people</c><00:05:32.259><c> in</c><00:05:32.379><c> this</c><00:05:32.560><c> meeting.</c><00:05:32.939><c> Somebody</c><00:05:33.199><c> raised</c>

00:20:39.150 --> 00:20:42.630
If<00:20:39.269><c> you</c><00:20:39.450><c> take</c><00:20:39.710><c> the</c><00:20:39.970><c> U</c><00:20:40.130><c> and</c><00:20:40.349><c> replace</c><00:20:40.710><c> it</c><00:20:40.910><c> with</c><00:20:41.069><c> an</c><00:20:41.289><c> A,</c><00:20:42.250><c> this</c><00:20:42.430><c> is</c>

00:20:55.630 --> 00:20:57.190

00:20:58.230 --> 00:21:01.509
Now<00:20:58.430><c> some</c><00:20:58.589><c> people</c><00:20:58.910><c> can</c><00:20:59.150><c> kind</c><00:20:59.250><c> of</c><00:20:59.470><c> understand</c><00:20:59.849><c> that</c><00:21:00.170><c> and</c><00:21:00.509><c> go</c><00:21:00.750><c> around</c><00:21:01.049><c> it</c>

00:21:02.509 --> 00:21:04.650

00:21:04.950 --> 00:21:08.470
They<00:21:05.089><c> don't</c><00:21:06.230><c> think</c><00:21:06.509><c> something</c><00:21:06.869><c> as</c><00:21:07.190><c> trivial</c><00:21:07.450><c> as</c><00:21:07.670><c> four</c><00:21:07.910><c> letters</c>

But<00:21:11.450><c> they</c><00:21:11.750><c> do.</c>

00:21:13.069 --> 00:21:19.130
So<00:21:13.549><c> the</c><00:21:13.710><c> question</c><00:21:14.210><c> is,</c><00:21:14.789><c> how</c><00:21:15.009><c> reasonable</c><00:21:15.490><c> is</c><00:21:15.730><c> it</c><00:21:15.950><c> to</c><00:21:16.250><c> expect</c><00:21:16.609><c> people</c><00:21:17.190><c> to</c>

00:21:23.410 --> 00:21:25.809
Now<00:21:23.630><c> change</c><00:21:23.849><c> that</c><00:21:24.049><c> happened</c><00:21:24.329><c> in</c><00:21:24.450><c> Israel</c><00:21:24.829><c> and</c><00:21:25.009><c> people</c><00:21:25.369><c> had</c><00:21:25.609><c> a</c>

00:21:28.890 --> 00:21:30.150
The<00:21:29.009><c> law</c><00:21:29.109><c> was</c><00:21:29.269><c> everything</c><00:21:29.509><c> they</c><00:21:29.690><c> ever</c><00:21:29.890><c> believed.</c>

00:21:30.430 --> 00:21:32.549
When<00:21:30.529><c> it</c><00:21:30.630><c> was</c><00:21:30.789><c> abolished,</c><00:21:31.269><c> what</c><00:21:31.450><c> do</c><00:21:31.609><c> you</c><00:21:31.750><c> mean?</c>

00:21:34.069 --> 00:21:36.130

00:21:36.230 --> 00:21:39.289

00:21:39.990 --> 00:21:42.049
Don't<00:21:40.730><c> tell</c><00:21:40.930><c> me</c><00:21:41.109><c> it's</c><00:21:41.329><c> abolished.</c>

00:21:42.390 --> 00:21:44.130
This<00:21:42.569><c> is</c><00:21:42.769><c> the</c><00:21:42.849><c> way</c><00:21:43.009><c> it</c><00:21:43.029><c> works</c><00:21:43.250><c> in</c><00:21:43.490><c> human</c><00:21:43.650><c> perception.</c>

00:22:56.130 --> 00:22:58.109
Yes,<00:22:56.430><c> that's</c><00:22:56.970><c> almost</c><00:22:57.349><c> half.</c>

00:22:58.289 --> 00:22:59.130
Very<00:22:58.609><c> good.</c>

00:22:59.390 --> 00:23:01.250

00:23:07.069 --> 00:23:09.690
We<00:23:07.250><c> printed</c><00:23:07.470><c> them</c><00:23:07.690><c> all</c><00:23:07.849><c> out</c><00:23:08.049><c> and</c><00:23:08.170><c> read</c><00:23:08.230><c> them</c><00:23:08.369><c> for</c><00:23:08.549><c> a</c><00:23:08.630><c> Sunday</c><00:23:08.809><c> school</c><00:23:09.069><c> class</c><00:23:09.369><c> over</c><00:23:09.670><c> a</c>

00:23:26.349 --> 00:23:26.930
I<00:23:26.349><c> think</c><00:23:26.529><c> it</c><00:23:26.750><c> is.</c>

00:23:26.930 --> 00:23:32.910

00:23:41.349 --> 00:23:44.710
Half<00:23:41.589><c> of</c><00:23:41.789><c> it</c><00:23:42.109><c> is</c><00:23:42.549><c> interested</c><00:23:43.049><c> in</c><00:23:43.329><c> fellowship</c><00:23:43.670><c> and</c><00:23:43.950><c> can't</c><00:23:44.289><c> understand</c><00:23:44.509><c> why</c>

Ninety<00:25:10.269><c> seven</c><00:25:10.410><c> percent.</c><00:25:12.069><c> So</c><00:25:12.349><c> here's</c><00:25:12.549><c> the</c><00:25:12.750><c> point</c><00:25:12.930><c> of</c><00:25:13.029><c> all</c><00:25:13.150><c> this.</c>

00:25:13.470 --> 00:25:16.250
One<00:25:13.509><c> body</c><00:25:14.069><c> makes</c><00:25:14.430><c> the</c><00:25:14.710><c> kind</c><00:25:14.869><c> of</c><00:25:15.109><c> testimony</c><00:25:15.529><c> about</c><00:25:15.809><c> Christ</c><00:25:16.089><c> to</c>

00:25:16.250 --> 00:25:20.750
the<00:25:16.430><c> world</c><00:25:16.690><c> that</c><00:25:16.930><c> enabled</c><00:25:17.210><c> the</c><00:25:17.490><c> gospel</c><00:25:17.849><c> to</c><00:25:18.150><c> grow</c><00:25:18.509><c> at</c><00:25:18.930><c> its</c><00:25:19.190><c> maximum</c><00:25:19.849><c> with</c>

00:25:20.750 --> 00:25:22.609
its<00:25:21.049><c> maximum</c><00:25:21.569><c> intent.</c>

00:25:23.109 --> 00:25:25.369
To<00:25:23.289><c> the</c><00:25:23.529><c> extent</c><00:25:23.710><c> that</c><00:25:23.910><c> there</c><00:25:24.069><c> is</c><00:25:24.170><c> a</c><00:25:24.390><c> division</c><00:25:24.630><c> among</c><00:25:24.910><c> us,</c><00:25:25.210><c> this</c>

00:25:25.369 --> 00:25:26.329
testimony<00:25:25.750><c> is</c><00:25:26.009><c> weakened.</c>

00:25:26.450 --> 00:25:28.470
So<00:25:26.609><c> that's</c><00:25:26.970><c> another</c><00:25:27.170><c> one</c><00:25:27.309><c> of</c><00:25:27.410><c> the</c><00:25:27.529><c> reasons</c><00:25:27.750><c> aside</c><00:25:28.130><c> from</c><00:25:28.329><c> the</c>

00:25:32.589 --> 00:25:35.470
I<00:25:32.789><c> think</c><00:25:32.970><c> this</c><00:25:33.410><c> reason</c><00:25:33.750><c> overrides</c><00:25:34.250><c> everything.</c><00:25:34.670><c> That's</c><00:25:35.109><c> important.</c>

00:25:35.470 --> 00:25:39.730
But<00:25:35.630><c> this</c><00:25:35.829><c> is</c><00:25:36.069><c> more</c><00:25:36.250><c> important</c><00:25:36.809><c> that</c><00:25:37.609><c> our</c><00:25:37.930><c> testimony,</c><00:25:38.269><c> our</c><00:25:38.569><c> work</c><00:25:38.690><c> with</c><00:25:38.950><c> Christ's</c><00:25:39.410><c> gospel</c><00:25:39.569><c> is</c>

00:25:39.730 --> 00:25:41.630
where<00:25:39.869><c> he</c><00:25:40.049><c> wants</c><00:25:40.269><c> us</c><00:25:40.450><c> to</c><00:25:40.670><c> focus</c><00:25:40.950><c> our</c><00:25:41.210><c> energy.</c>

00:25:41.869 --> 00:25:47.869
And<00:25:42.069><c> if</c><00:25:42.190><c> we</c><00:25:42.289><c> are</c><00:25:42.430><c> distracted</c><00:25:42.950><c> in</c><00:25:43.230><c> that</c><00:25:43.569><c> and</c><00:25:43.849><c> our</c><00:25:44.009><c> energy</c><00:25:44.230><c> is</c><00:25:44.490><c> focused</c><00:25:44.849><c> elsewhere</c><00:25:45.329><c> for</c><00:25:46.650><c> the</c><00:25:46.829><c> same</c><00:25:47.009><c> extent,</c><00:25:47.349><c> his</c><00:25:47.549><c> work</c><00:25:47.710><c> is</c>

not<00:25:48.029><c> getting</c><00:25:48.269><c> done.</c>

00:25:48.589 --> 00:25:53.369
We're<00:25:48.789><c> all</c><00:25:48.970><c> about</c><00:25:49.109><c> his</c><00:25:49.329><c> work,</c><00:25:49.490><c> aren't</c><00:25:49.650><c> we?</c><00:25:52.690><c> He</c><00:25:52.970><c> said</c><00:25:53.049><c> go</c><00:25:53.250><c> and</c>

00:25:54.430 --> 00:25:57.089
Is<00:25:54.589><c> that</c><00:25:54.690><c> what</c><00:25:54.849><c> we're</c><00:25:54.869><c> doing?</c><00:25:56.089><c> We're</c><00:25:56.390><c> trying</c><00:25:56.630><c> with</c><00:25:56.829><c> all</c><00:25:56.990><c> our</c>

00:25:59.230 --> 00:26:04.130
We<00:25:59.549><c> want</c><00:25:59.730><c> to</c><00:26:00.009><c> remove</c><00:26:00.170><c> everything</c><00:26:00.710><c> that</c><00:26:00.930><c> inhibits</c><00:26:01.349><c> that</c><00:26:02.130><c> as</c><00:26:03.170><c> individuals</c><00:26:03.609><c> and</c><00:26:03.930><c> as</c>

00:26:04.130 --> 00:26:05.470
a<00:26:04.210><c> community,</c><00:26:04.509><c> as</c><00:26:04.670><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:26:04.990><c> in</c><00:26:05.150><c> a</c><00:26:05.250><c> community.</c>

00:26:05.549 --> 00:26:08.109
So<00:26:05.690><c> let's</c><00:26:05.750><c> look</c><00:26:05.910><c> at</c><00:26:06.009><c> the</c><00:26:06.130><c> Ecclesiastes,</c><00:26:06.509><c> the</c><00:26:06.589><c> house</c><00:26:06.730><c> of</c><00:26:06.990><c> God.</c>

00:26:08.470 --> 00:26:11.230
Jesus<00:26:08.670><c> said</c><00:26:08.829><c> in</c><00:26:08.970><c> John</c><00:26:09.210><c> 14,</c><00:26:09.589><c> my</c><00:26:09.789><c> father's</c><00:26:10.150><c> house</c><00:26:10.390><c> are</c><00:26:10.569><c> many</c><00:26:10.829><c> venues.</c>

00:26:11.589 --> 00:26:16.210
That<00:26:11.730><c> means</c><00:26:12.029><c> some</c><00:26:12.329><c> versions</c><00:26:12.569><c> say</c><00:26:12.829><c> rooms,</c><00:26:13.569><c> some</c><00:26:13.730><c> say</c><00:26:13.970><c> mansions,</c><00:26:14.630><c> mansions,</c><00:26:15.430><c> not</c><00:26:15.630><c> not</c><00:26:15.869><c> applicable.</c>

00:26:16.210 --> 00:26:19.329
That's<00:26:16.670><c> more</c><00:26:16.869><c> of</c><00:26:17.049><c> a</c><00:26:17.190><c> churchy,</c><00:26:18.210><c> Christiany</c><00:26:18.690><c> kind</c><00:26:18.829><c> of</c><00:26:19.049><c> thing.</c>

00:26:19.630 --> 00:26:21.869
It's<00:26:20.089><c> really</c><00:26:20.349><c> many</c><00:26:20.750><c> venues.</c>

00:26:22.009 --> 00:26:26.650

00:31:52.630 --> 00:31:56.589
because<00:31:53.250><c> we</c><00:31:53.670><c> wanted</c><00:31:54.049><c> a</c><00:31:54.769><c> record</c><00:31:55.089><c> of</c><00:31:55.549><c> consistency.</c>
