00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:23.670
They<00:21:20.579><c> didn't</c><00:21:20.579><c> copy</c><00:21:20.579><c> down</c><00:21:20.859><c> their</c><00:21:21.039><c> Bible</c><00:21:21.460><c> and</c><00:21:22.240><c> they</c><00:21:22.420><c> didn't</c><00:21:22.680><c> read</c><00:21:22.940><c> it.</c>

00:24:04.039 --> 00:24:06.279
So<00:24:04.200><c> if</c><00:24:04.259><c> you</c><00:24:04.380><c> have</c><00:24:04.500><c> a</c><00:24:04.640><c> beautiful</c><00:24:04.920><c> voice</c><00:24:05.339><c> and</c><00:24:05.519><c> you</c><00:24:05.660><c> can</c><00:24:05.900><c> sing,</c>

00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:11.099
Be<00:24:10.079><c> thankful.</c>

00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:15.160
There's<00:24:11.960><c> a</c><00:24:12.099><c> difference</c><00:24:12.240><c> between</c><00:24:12.519><c> being</c><00:24:12.920><c> thankful</c><00:24:13.480><c> and</c><00:24:14.359><c> being</c><00:24:14.759><c> proud.</c>

00:24:15.259 --> 00:24:17.319
I've<00:24:15.480><c> had</c><00:24:15.599><c> people</c><00:24:15.819><c> say,</c><00:24:16.140><c> I</c><00:24:16.259><c> guess</c><00:24:16.440><c> you're</c><00:24:16.660><c> proud</c><00:24:16.839><c> of</c><00:24:16.960><c> your</c><00:24:17.160><c> kids.</c>

00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:19.039
I<00:24:17.500><c> said,</c><00:24:17.680><c> no,</c><00:24:17.940><c> I'm</c><00:24:18.079><c> not.</c>

00:24:20.380 --> 00:24:23.000
I<00:24:20.539><c> said,</c><00:24:20.700><c> I'm</c><00:24:20.839><c> very</c><00:24:21.359><c> thankful</c><00:24:21.779><c> for</c><00:24:22.099><c> them.</c>

00:24:24.700 --> 00:24:27.200
Our<00:24:25.140><c> little</c><00:24:25.359><c> company</c><00:24:25.559><c> was</c><00:24:25.740><c> being</c><00:24:26.059><c> sued</c><00:24:26.440><c> once.</c>

00:24:27.319 --> 00:24:30.720
We<00:24:27.500><c> don't</c><00:24:27.779><c> do</c><00:24:28.079><c> lawsuits,</c><00:24:28.460><c> but</c><00:24:28.799><c> sometimes</c><00:24:29.200><c> you</c><00:24:29.400><c> get</c><00:24:29.640><c> sued.</c>

00:24:31.779 --> 00:24:33.980

00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:37.460
I<00:24:34.759><c> was</c><00:24:34.900><c> the</c><00:24:35.119><c> president</c><00:24:35.279><c> at</c><00:24:35.539><c> the</c><00:24:35.579><c> time,</c><00:24:35.759><c> so</c><00:24:35.920><c> they</c><00:24:36.500><c> gave</c><00:24:36.660><c> me</c><00:24:36.839><c> a</c><00:24:36.960><c> deposition.</c>

00:24:37.460 --> 00:24:40.640
I<00:24:37.539><c> had</c><00:24:37.700><c> to</c><00:24:37.799><c> go</c><00:24:37.859><c> in</c><00:24:37.980><c> before</c><00:24:38.180><c> a</c><00:24:38.400><c> courtroom</c><00:24:38.660><c> and</c><00:24:39.299><c> give</c><00:24:39.380><c> this</c><00:24:39.559><c> deposition</c><00:24:40.099><c> and</c>

00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:42.920
talk<00:24:40.880><c> about</c><00:24:41.140><c> my</c><00:24:41.799><c> staff.</c>

00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:44.220
So<00:24:43.119><c> they</c><00:24:43.279><c> were</c><00:24:43.400><c> trying</c><00:24:43.579><c> to</c><00:24:43.700><c> swear</c><00:24:43.839><c> me</c><00:24:44.059><c> in.</c>

00:24:44.259 --> 00:24:45.819
Of<00:24:44.279><c> course,</c><00:24:44.380><c> I</c><00:24:44.460><c> wouldn't</c><00:24:44.619><c> do</c><00:24:44.880><c> that.</c>

00:24:46.380 --> 00:24:47.839
So<00:24:46.579><c> then</c><00:24:46.779><c> they're</c><00:24:47.039><c> asking</c><00:24:47.140><c> me</c><00:24:47.299><c> about</c><00:24:47.440><c> my</c><00:24:47.680><c> staff,</c>

00:24:47.900 --> 00:24:49.640
and<00:24:47.920><c> I'm</c><00:24:48.119><c> telling</c><00:24:48.259><c> them</c><00:24:48.400><c> about</c><00:24:48.599><c> what</c><00:24:48.740><c> wonderful</c><00:24:49.099><c> people</c><00:24:49.420><c> that</c>

work<00:24:49.779><c> for</c><00:24:50.019><c> us.</c>

00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:53.660
The<00:24:51.200><c> attorneys</c><00:24:51.400><c> are</c><00:24:51.660><c> interrogating</c><00:24:52.059><c> me,</c><00:24:52.579><c> and</c><00:24:52.599><c> I'm</c><00:24:53.119><c> really</c><00:24:53.380><c> laying</c><00:24:53.519><c> it</c>

00:24:53.660 --> 00:24:54.039
all<00:24:53.859><c> thick</c>

00:24:54.039 --> 00:24:56.759
because<00:24:54.460><c> I</c><00:24:55.160><c> want</c><00:24:55.279><c> them</c><00:24:55.420><c> to</c><00:24:55.519><c> know</c><00:24:55.619><c> how</c><00:24:55.880><c> good</c><00:24:56.000><c> these</c><00:24:56.259><c> people</c><00:24:56.519><c> are</c>

00:24:56.759 --> 00:24:58.880
that<00:24:56.880><c> they're</c><00:24:57.059><c> accusing</c><00:24:57.339><c> of</c><00:24:57.500><c> doing</c><00:24:57.700><c> something</c><00:24:57.920><c> wrong.</c>

00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:00.980
He<00:24:59.420><c> said,</c><00:24:59.440><c> I</c><00:24:59.519><c> guess</c><00:24:59.680><c> you're</c><00:24:59.900><c> proud</c><00:25:00.119><c> of</c><00:25:00.240><c> your</c><00:25:00.460><c> staff,</c><00:25:00.759><c> aren't</c><00:25:00.819><c> you?</c>

00:25:00.980 --> 00:25:01.859
I<00:25:01.140><c> said,</c><00:25:01.339><c> no,</c><00:25:01.680><c> I'm</c><00:25:01.680><c> not.</c>

00:25:01.900 --> 00:25:03.059
The<00:25:02.019><c> Bible's</c><00:25:02.460><c> condemned</c><00:25:02.700><c> it.</c>

00:25:03.059 --> 00:25:05.000
Oh,<00:25:03.819><c> he</c><00:25:03.940><c> said,</c><00:25:04.500><c> oh.</c>

00:25:06.019 --> 00:25:08.480
I<00:25:06.579><c> said,</c><00:25:06.720><c> I'm</c><00:25:06.799><c> only</c><00:25:07.059><c> thankful</c><00:25:07.460><c> for</c><00:25:07.779><c> them.</c>

00:25:09.940 --> 00:25:12.980
But<00:25:10.240><c> you</c><00:25:10.380><c> see,</c><00:25:10.579><c> the</c><00:25:10.859><c> world</c><00:25:11.079><c> doesn't</c><00:25:11.480><c> think</c><00:25:11.920><c> right,</c>

00:25:13.359 --> 00:25:17.720
and<00:25:13.559><c> if</c><00:25:13.779><c> you</c><00:25:14.000><c> don't</c><00:25:14.559><c> follow</c><00:25:14.960><c> the</c><00:25:15.259><c> Bible,</c><00:25:16.579><c> you</c><00:25:16.880><c> won't</c><00:25:17.140><c> either.</c>

00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:23.099
Because<00:25:18.460><c> pride</c><00:25:18.680><c> is</c><00:25:18.920><c> an</c><00:25:19.079><c> easy</c><00:25:19.500><c> thing</c><00:25:20.099><c> to</c><00:25:20.500><c> have,</c><00:25:22.240><c> and</c><00:25:22.839><c> we</c><00:25:22.960><c> have</c>

00:25:23.099 --> 00:25:23.779
to<00:25:23.359><c> fight</c><00:25:23.599><c> it.</c>

00:25:23.799 --> 00:25:26.880
And<00:25:23.960><c> if</c><00:25:24.079><c> any</c><00:25:24.240><c> of</c><00:25:24.319><c> you</c><00:25:24.420><c> say,</c><00:25:24.579><c> I'm</c><00:25:24.920><c> not</c><00:25:25.180><c> proud</c><00:25:25.500><c> at</c><00:25:25.799><c> all,</c><00:25:26.640><c> you'll</c>

00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:28.640
tell<00:25:27.039><c> other</c><00:25:27.240><c> lies</c><00:25:27.539><c> too.</c>

00:25:29.940 --> 00:25:34.299
So<00:25:30.539><c> we</c><00:25:31.140><c> mustn't</c><00:25:31.579><c> ever</c><00:25:32.319><c> get</c><00:25:32.839><c> the</c><00:25:33.079><c> big</c><00:25:33.279><c> head</c><00:25:33.460><c> about</c><00:25:33.819><c> anything</c>

00:25:34.299 --> 00:25:35.779
that<00:25:34.539><c> God</c><00:25:34.799><c> has</c><00:25:35.099><c> given</c><00:25:35.259><c> us.</c>

00:25:36.220 --> 00:25:40.079
Just<00:25:36.460><c> go</c><00:25:36.680><c> out</c><00:25:36.940><c> and</c><00:25:37.200><c> use</c><00:25:37.359><c> it</c><00:25:37.779><c> for</c><00:25:38.240><c> His</c><00:25:38.680><c> glory</c><00:25:38.980><c> and</c><00:25:39.259><c> honor.</c>

00:25:41.539 --> 00:25:46.400
And<00:25:42.039><c> so</c><00:25:42.700><c> I</c><00:25:44.180><c> have</c><00:25:44.299><c> some</c><00:25:44.579><c> favorite</c><00:25:44.839><c> Bible</c><00:25:45.160><c> verses.</c>

00:25:47.140 --> 00:25:51.759
I<00:25:47.380><c> guess</c><00:25:47.680><c> all</c><00:25:47.980><c> of</c><00:25:48.099><c> us</c><00:25:48.259><c> do,</c><00:25:48.720><c> and</c><00:25:49.359><c> I</c><00:25:49.720><c> think</c><00:25:49.940><c> we</c><00:25:50.140><c> should</c><00:25:50.339><c> memorize</c><00:25:50.799><c> them.</c>

00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:54.420
And<00:25:52.359><c> you've</c><00:25:52.579><c> been</c><00:25:52.740><c> given</c><00:25:52.880><c> some</c><00:25:53.160><c> of</c><00:25:53.299><c> them</c><00:25:53.480><c> already</c><00:25:53.839><c> this</c><00:25:54.140><c> week,</c>

00:25:54.420 --> 00:25:59.380
and<00:25:54.619><c> I</c><00:25:54.759><c> hope</c><00:25:54.980><c> that</c><00:25:55.259><c> you</c><00:25:55.460><c> will</c><00:25:55.799><c> maybe</c><00:25:56.720><c> commit</c><00:25:57.940><c> some</c><00:25:58.180><c> of</c><00:25:58.319><c> them</c><00:25:58.460><c> to</c><00:25:58.599><c> memory.</c>

00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:00.960
This<00:26:00.039><c> is</c><00:26:00.259><c> not</c><00:26:00.420><c> a</c><00:26:00.660><c> test.</c>

00:26:01.240 --> 00:26:05.240
You<00:26:01.420><c> had</c><00:26:01.559><c> a</c><00:26:01.799><c> test</c><00:26:02.000><c> last</c><00:26:02.400><c> night,</c><00:26:03.200><c> but</c><00:26:03.420><c> only</c><00:26:03.619><c> you</c><00:26:03.819><c> know</c><00:26:03.980><c> the</c><00:26:04.279><c> score.</c>

00:26:06.180 --> 00:26:11.319
But<00:26:06.660><c> I</c><00:26:07.140><c> just</c><00:26:07.519><c> believe</c><00:26:08.059><c> that</c><00:26:08.660><c> all</c><00:26:08.880><c> of</c><00:26:09.039><c> us,</c><00:26:10.019><c> and</c><00:26:10.240><c> I've</c><00:26:10.440><c> had</c><00:26:10.539><c> people</c><00:26:10.799><c> tell</c><00:26:11.019><c> me,</c>

00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:15.960

and<00:28:52.180><c> we're</c><00:28:52.380><c> gonna</c><00:28:52.420><c> talk</c><00:28:52.599><c> about</c><00:28:52.779><c> a</c><00:28:52.940><c> little</c><00:28:53.099><c> boy</c><00:28:53.460><c> named,</c>

00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:58.339
his<00:28:55.480><c> name</c><00:28:55.700><c> is</c><00:28:55.880><c> Josiah,</c><00:28:56.319><c> but</c><00:28:56.480><c> he</c><00:28:56.579><c> was</c><00:28:56.740><c> only</c><00:28:56.980><c> eight</c><00:28:57.200><c> years</c><00:28:57.500><c> old.</c>

00:28:58.480 --> 00:29:00.319
So<00:28:58.700><c> I</c><00:28:58.819><c> just</c><00:28:59.039><c> had</c><00:28:59.200><c> the</c><00:28:59.400><c> teenagers</c><00:28:59.799><c> this</c><00:29:00.099><c> morning,</c>

00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.339
and<00:29:00.559><c> there</c><00:29:01.079><c> were</c><00:29:01.200><c> no</c><00:29:01.380><c> eight</c><00:29:01.619><c>-year</c><00:29:01.799><c>-old</c><00:29:02.099><c> people</c><00:29:02.460><c> in</c><00:29:02.759><c> our</c><00:29:03.039><c> class</c>

00:29:03.339 --> 00:29:05.799
because<00:29:03.539><c> they</c><00:29:03.700><c> were</c><00:29:03.920><c> too</c><00:29:04.400><c> young</c><00:29:04.819><c> to</c><00:29:05.519><c> be</c><00:29:05.660><c> in.</c>

00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:09.319
I<00:29:06.079><c> have</c><00:29:06.240><c> the</c><00:29:06.640><c> bigger</c><00:29:06.880><c> kids,</c><00:29:08.079><c> the</c><00:29:08.240><c> teenagers.</c>

00:29:10.500 --> 00:29:12.960
So<00:29:10.779><c> Josiah</c><00:29:11.119><c> was</c><00:29:11.319><c> only</c><00:29:11.559><c> eight</c><00:29:11.740><c> years</c><00:29:12.059><c> old</c><00:29:12.200><c> when</c><00:29:12.359><c> he</c><00:29:12.480><c> became</c><00:29:12.799><c> king.</c>

00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:15.059
Imagine<00:29:13.400><c> some</c><00:29:14.339><c> eight</c><00:29:14.519><c>-year</c><00:29:14.720><c>-olds</c><00:29:14.859><c> here.</c>

00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:16.220
You<00:29:15.200><c> ought</c><00:29:15.319><c> to</c><00:29:15.400><c> pick</c><00:29:15.559><c> out</c><00:29:15.660><c> an</c><00:29:15.759><c> eight</c><00:29:15.859><c>-year</c><00:29:15.980><c>-old</c><00:29:16.039><c> and</c><00:29:16.140><c> say,</c>

00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:19.839
you<00:29:16.339><c> know,</c><00:29:17.240><c> Josiah</c><00:29:17.539><c> was</c><00:29:17.740><c> a</c><00:29:17.900><c> king</c><00:29:18.019><c> when</c><00:29:18.140><c> he</c><00:29:18.279><c> was</c><00:29:18.460><c> your</c><00:29:18.680><c> age.</c>

00:29:20.480 --> 00:29:22.079
And<00:29:20.720><c> he</c><00:29:20.839><c> reigned</c><00:29:20.940><c> 31</c><00:29:21.380><c> years</c><00:29:21.680><c> in</c><00:29:21.859><c> Jerusalem.</c>

00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:24.059
How<00:29:22.339><c> old</c><00:29:22.440><c> was</c><00:29:22.640><c> he</c><00:29:22.740><c> when</c><00:29:22.880><c> he</c><00:29:23.140><c> died?</c>

00:29:26.579 --> 00:29:26.980
39.

00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:27.880
How'd<00:29:27.380><c> you</c><00:29:27.500><c> know</c><00:29:27.619><c> that?</c>

00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:29.880
He<00:29:28.220><c> added</c><00:29:28.359><c> 31</c><00:29:28.900><c> and</c><00:29:29.259><c> eight</c><00:29:29.420><c> together.</c>

00:29:30.339 --> 00:29:31.759
That's<00:29:30.559><c> what</c><00:29:30.700><c> it</c><00:29:30.880><c> adds</c><00:29:30.980><c> up</c><00:29:31.279><c> to,</c>

00:29:32.099 --> 00:29:33.920
because<00:29:32.359><c> he</c><00:29:32.660><c> stopped</c><00:29:32.779><c> being</c><00:29:33.039><c> king</c><00:29:33.240><c> when</c><00:29:33.400><c> he</c><00:29:33.579><c> died.</c>

00:29:34.160 --> 00:29:36.079
He<00:29:34.420><c> was</c><00:29:34.660><c> king</c><00:29:34.799><c> to</c><00:29:34.980><c> his</c><00:29:35.220><c> death.</c>

00:29:36.160 --> 00:29:39.599
If<00:29:36.519><c> he</c><00:29:36.880><c> became</c><00:29:37.299><c> king</c><00:29:37.819><c> at</c><00:29:38.000><c> eight</c><00:29:38.279><c> and</c><00:29:38.539><c> died</c><00:29:38.680><c> at</c><00:29:38.880><c> 31,</c>

00:29:39.839 --> 00:29:42.079
and<00:29:39.839><c> lived</c><00:29:40.440><c> 31</c><00:29:40.880><c> years,</c><00:29:41.259><c> he</c><00:29:41.400><c> died</c><00:29:41.579><c> at</c><00:29:41.740><c> 39.</c>

00:29:42.220 --> 00:29:43.400
Now,<00:29:42.359><c> he</c><00:29:42.400><c> was</c><00:29:42.579><c> a</c><00:29:42.720><c> young</c><00:29:42.839><c> man</c><00:29:43.059><c> when</c><00:29:43.200><c> he</c><00:29:43.319><c> died,</c>

00:29:43.559 --> 00:29:47.460
and<00:29:43.680><c> he</c><00:29:43.819><c> was</c><00:29:43.940><c> one</c><00:29:44.099><c> of</c><00:29:44.160><c> the</c><00:29:44.359><c> best</c><00:29:44.579><c> kings</c><00:29:44.880><c> that</c><00:29:46.099><c> Judah</c><00:29:46.299><c> had</c><00:29:46.480><c> ever</c><00:29:46.779><c> had.</c>

00:29:48.420 --> 00:29:51.319
And<00:29:48.539><c> we're</c><00:29:48.660><c> told</c><00:29:48.819><c> in</c><00:29:48.940><c> verse</c><00:29:49.200><c> two</c><00:29:49.799><c> of</c><00:29:50.140><c> chapter</c><00:29:50.519><c> 22,</c>

00:29:51.779 --> 00:29:53.519
he<00:29:51.859><c> did</c><00:29:52.059><c> that</c><00:29:52.200><c> when</c><00:29:52.339><c> he</c><00:29:52.420><c> was</c><00:29:52.559><c> right</c><00:29:52.779><c> in</c><00:29:52.920><c> the</c><00:29:53.059><c> sight</c><00:29:53.160><c> of</c><00:29:53.299><c> the</c><00:29:53.380><c> Lord</c>

00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:55.160
and<00:29:53.700><c> walked</c><00:29:53.960><c> in</c><00:29:54.119><c> the</c><00:29:54.240><c> ways</c><00:29:54.359><c> of</c><00:29:54.519><c> his</c><00:29:54.680><c> father</c><00:29:54.880><c> David.</c>

00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:57.779
He<00:29:55.359><c> did</c><00:29:55.539><c> not</c><00:29:55.740><c> turn</c><00:29:55.819><c> from</c><00:29:56.019><c> the</c><00:29:56.140><c> right</c><00:29:56.359><c> side</c><00:29:56.859><c> to</c><00:29:57.400><c> the</c><00:29:57.559><c> left.</c>

00:29:58.079 --> 00:30:00.180
Now,<00:29:58.240><c> that's</c><00:29:58.460><c> what</c><00:29:58.519><c> he</c><00:29:58.660><c> said</c><00:29:58.740><c> about</c><00:29:58.940><c> two</c><00:29:59.140><c> kings,</c>

00:30:01.400 --> 00:30:03.160
Hezekiah<00:30:01.759><c> and</c><00:30:02.119><c> Josiah.</c>

00:30:04.059 --> 00:30:07.720
So<00:30:04.460><c> now,</c><00:30:05.039><c> 2</c><00:30:05.119><c> Chronicles</c><00:30:05.839><c> chapter</c><00:30:06.519><c> 34</c>

00:30:13.279 --> 00:30:14.640
It's<00:30:13.480><c> like</c><00:30:13.680><c> the</c><00:30:14.140><c> gospels,</c>

00:30:14.759 --> 00:30:15.940

00:30:16.220 --> 00:30:17.619
Sometimes<00:30:16.500><c> you</c><00:30:16.599><c> get</c><00:30:16.740><c> a</c><00:30:16.799><c> little</c><00:30:16.960><c> bit</c><00:30:17.119><c> more</c><00:30:17.319><c> than</c><00:30:17.460><c> one,</c>

00:30:17.779 --> 00:30:18.440
and<00:30:17.779><c> you</c><00:30:17.819><c> compare</c><00:30:18.079><c> it</c><00:30:18.220><c> with</c><00:30:18.240><c> the</c><00:30:18.339><c> other.</c>

00:30:18.660 --> 00:30:20.579
Put<00:30:18.779><c> them</c><00:30:18.859><c> together,</c><00:30:19.140><c> you</c><00:30:19.220><c> get</c><00:30:19.380><c> the</c><00:30:19.519><c> whole</c><00:30:19.720><c> picture.</c>

00:30:20.880 --> 00:30:23.240
So<00:30:21.059><c> in</c><00:30:21.220><c> 2</c><00:30:21.460><c> Chronicles</c><00:30:21.880><c> 34</c><00:30:22.359><c> and</c><00:30:22.539><c> 3,</c>

00:30:23.539 --> 00:30:24.900
again,<00:30:23.819><c> talking</c><00:30:24.079><c> about</c><00:30:24.359><c> Josiah,</c>

00:30:24.980 --> 00:30:26.559
it<00:30:25.000><c> says</c><00:30:25.099><c> in</c><00:30:25.299><c> the</c><00:30:25.460><c> eighth</c><00:30:25.700><c> year</c><00:30:25.880><c> of</c><00:30:26.000><c> his</c><00:30:26.279><c> reign,</c>

00:30:26.660 --> 00:30:28.140
how<00:30:26.859><c> old</c><00:30:26.980><c> was</c><00:30:27.140><c> he</c><00:30:27.339><c> then?</c>

00:30:29.819 --> 00:30:30.720
16.

00:30:31.059 --> 00:30:32.660
You're<00:30:31.460><c> good</c><00:30:31.559><c> at</c><00:30:31.799><c> math.</c>

00:30:32.740 --> 00:30:34.619
Eight<00:30:33.140><c> and</c><00:30:33.339><c> eight</c><00:30:33.460><c> are</c><00:30:33.599><c> 16.</c>

00:30:34.680 --> 00:30:37.799
So<00:30:34.779><c> I</c><00:30:35.539><c> had</c><00:30:35.700><c> all</c><00:30:36.180><c> the</c><00:30:36.359><c> 16</c><00:30:36.640><c>-year</c><00:30:36.799><c>-olds</c><00:30:36.880><c> in</c><00:30:36.960><c> my</c><00:30:37.240><c> class</c><00:30:37.400><c> stand</c><00:30:37.579><c> up</c>

00:30:37.799 --> 00:30:38.119
this<00:30:37.980><c> morning.</c>

00:30:38.180 --> 00:30:40.559
I<00:30:38.259><c> don't</c><00:30:38.460><c> suppose</c><00:30:38.619><c> there's</c><00:30:38.759><c> any</c><00:30:38.980><c> 16</c><00:30:39.200><c>-year</c><00:30:39.299><c>-olds</c><00:30:39.380><c> in</c><00:30:39.539><c> this</c><00:30:39.720><c> class.</c>

00:30:40.599 --> 00:30:42.720
You're<00:30:40.759><c> supposed</c><00:30:40.839><c> to</c><00:30:40.839><c> be</c><00:30:41.039><c> down</c><00:30:41.220><c> there</c><00:30:41.400><c> if</c><00:30:41.460><c> you're</c><00:30:41.619><c> 16.</c>

00:30:43.259 --> 00:30:45.000
So<00:30:43.660><c> he's</c><00:30:44.059><c> 16</c><00:30:44.440><c> years</c><00:30:44.759><c> old.</c>

00:30:45.079 --> 00:30:49.339
He<00:30:45.279><c> begins</c><00:30:45.599><c> to</c><00:30:45.880><c> seek</c><00:30:46.059><c> the</c><00:30:46.660><c> God</c><00:30:46.839><c> of</c><00:30:47.000><c> his</c><00:30:47.200><c> father</c><00:30:47.539><c> in</c><00:30:48.500><c> the</c><00:30:48.660><c> 12th</c><00:30:49.019><c> year.</c>

00:30:49.680 --> 00:30:51.140
Now,<00:30:49.880><c> how</c><00:30:50.039><c> old</c><00:30:50.180><c> is</c><00:30:50.380><c> he?</c>

Well,<00:30:57.880><c> really?</c>

00:30:58.960 --> 00:31:01.220
I'm<00:30:59.200><c> surprised</c><00:30:59.500><c> there's</c><00:30:59.619><c> not</c><00:30:59.759><c> a</c><00:30:59.940><c> 20</c><00:31:00.079><c>-year</c><00:31:00.180><c>-old</c><00:31:00.259><c> in</c><00:31:00.440><c> here.</c>

00:31:03.019 --> 00:31:04.039
Oh,<00:31:03.220><c> there</c><00:31:03.460><c> they</c><00:31:03.740><c> are.</c>

00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:04.640

00:31:07.500 --> 00:31:09.539
We're<00:31:07.599><c> talking</c><00:31:07.720><c> about</c><00:31:07.900><c> a</c><00:31:08.039><c> fellow</c><00:31:08.220><c> who's</c><00:31:08.559><c> 20,</c><00:31:08.960><c> your</c><00:31:09.180><c> age,</c>

00:31:19.819 --> 00:31:22.720
And<00:31:20.220><c> in</c><00:31:20.619><c> the</c><00:31:20.799><c> 12th</c><00:31:21.200><c> year,</c><00:31:21.420><c> if</c><00:31:21.500><c> he's</c><00:31:21.660><c> 20</c><00:31:21.839><c> years</c><00:31:22.079><c> old,</c>

00:31:30.859 --> 00:31:33.099
They<00:31:31.160><c> shouldn't</c><00:31:31.480><c> have</c><00:31:31.759><c> had</c><00:31:31.900><c> these</c><00:31:32.200><c> things.</c>

00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:34.980
Here's<00:31:33.579><c> a</c><00:31:33.740><c> 20</c><00:31:33.940><c>-year</c><00:31:34.200><c>-old</c><00:31:34.319><c> boy</c><00:31:34.740><c> saying,</c>

00:31:37.140 --> 00:31:39.019
Can<00:31:37.339><c> you</c><00:31:37.519><c> imagine</c><00:31:37.759><c> the</c><00:31:37.980><c> people</c><00:31:38.180><c> who</c><00:31:38.400><c> made</c><00:31:38.559><c> those</c><00:31:38.839><c> things?</c>

00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:40.980
Some<00:31:39.500><c> of</c><00:31:39.640><c> them</c><00:31:39.640><c> were</c><00:31:39.759><c> great</c><00:31:40.039><c> carvers.</c>

00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:44.180
They<00:31:41.380><c> had</c><00:31:41.640><c> great</c><00:31:41.960><c> skills</c><00:31:42.359><c> to</c><00:31:42.579><c> make</c><00:31:42.980><c> graven</c><00:31:43.220><c> images.</c>

00:31:45.220 --> 00:31:46.920
In<00:31:45.299><c> fact,</c><00:31:45.619><c> Demetrius</c><00:31:46.079><c> was</c><00:31:46.359><c> really</c><00:31:46.619><c> upset</c>

00:31:46.920 --> 00:31:48.660
because<00:31:47.259><c> Paul</c><00:31:47.539><c> was</c><00:31:47.759><c> putting</c><00:31:47.940><c> him</c><00:31:48.099><c> out</c><00:31:48.259><c> of</c><00:31:48.380><c> business.</c>

00:31:49.059 --> 00:31:52.799
They<00:31:49.500><c> made</c><00:31:49.640><c> all</c><00:31:49.799><c> these</c><00:31:50.119><c> shrines</c><00:31:50.559><c> to</c><00:31:50.819><c> Diana,</c><00:31:51.319><c> goddess</c><00:31:51.420><c> of</c><00:31:51.640><c> the</c><00:31:51.779><c> Ephesians.</c>

00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:54.200
You<00:31:53.160><c> touch</c><00:31:53.359><c> a</c><00:31:53.500><c> person's</c><00:31:53.880><c> pocketbook,</c>

00:31:54.259 --> 00:31:56.339
it's<00:31:54.339><c> the</c><00:31:54.420><c> most</c><00:31:54.640><c> tender</c><00:31:54.799><c> place</c><00:31:55.039><c> you</c><00:31:55.140><c> can</c><00:31:55.259><c> hit</c><00:31:55.339><c> them.</c>

00:31:57.380 --> 00:32:01.359
And<00:31:57.980><c> so</c><00:31:58.400><c> he's</c><00:31:59.079><c> destroying</c><00:31:59.519><c> all</c><00:32:00.160><c> these</c><00:32:00.640><c> things</c>

00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:07.359
that<00:32:02.359><c> they</c><00:32:03.259><c> worshiped</c><00:32:04.380><c> because</c><00:32:04.680><c> they</c><00:32:05.119><c> were</c><00:32:05.440><c> wrong</c><00:32:05.819><c> to</c><00:32:06.119><c> worship</c><00:32:06.440><c> them.</c>

00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:09.880
Now,<00:32:08.099><c> you</c><00:32:08.220><c> don't</c><00:32:08.380><c> have</c><00:32:08.500><c> any</c><00:32:08.740><c> graven</c><00:32:08.940><c> images</c><00:32:09.299><c> in</c><00:32:09.519><c> your</c><00:32:09.680><c> house.</c>

00:32:09.920 --> 00:32:11.599
I'm<00:32:10.160><c> sure</c><00:32:10.480><c> of</c><00:32:10.619><c> that.</c>

00:32:13.099 --> 00:32:15.519
But<00:32:13.440><c> do</c><00:32:13.579><c> you</c><00:32:13.599><c> have</c><00:32:13.720><c> anything</c><00:32:13.900><c> in</c><00:32:14.000><c> your</c><00:32:14.180><c> house</c><00:32:14.339><c> you</c><00:32:14.480><c> worship?</c>

00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:20.339
Is<00:32:17.660><c> there</c><00:32:17.759><c> anything</c><00:32:18.059><c> in</c><00:32:18.220><c> your</c><00:32:18.420><c> house</c><00:32:18.640><c> that's</c><00:32:19.079><c> so</c><00:32:19.460><c> important?</c>

00:32:20.519 --> 00:32:23.779
We<00:32:21.079><c> had</c><00:32:21.279><c> a</c><00:32:21.500><c> brother</c><00:32:22.359><c> out</c><00:32:22.779><c> our</c><00:32:22.940><c> way</c><00:32:23.039><c> many</c><00:32:23.240><c> years</c><00:32:23.480><c> ago</c>

00:32:23.779 --> 00:32:26.119
who<00:32:24.319><c> went</c><00:32:25.140><c> away.</c>

00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:29.380
I<00:32:27.599><c> don't</c><00:32:27.700><c> know</c><00:32:27.759><c> if</c><00:32:27.880><c> it</c><00:32:27.880><c> was</c><00:32:28.140><c> on</c><00:32:28.380><c> a</c><00:32:28.380><c> trip</c><00:32:28.420><c> or</c><00:32:28.500><c> just</c><00:32:28.759><c> out</c><00:32:28.940><c> to</c><00:32:29.039><c> the</c><00:32:29.240><c> store,</c>

Of<00:32:40.920><c> course,</c><00:32:41.099><c> when</c><00:32:41.319><c> they</c><00:32:41.660><c> arrived,</c><00:32:42.299><c> that</c><00:32:42.559><c> stopped</c><00:32:42.900><c> them</c><00:32:43.079><c> from</c>

00:33:15.460 --> 00:33:18.480
If<00:33:15.720><c> you</c><00:33:15.900><c> catch</c><00:33:16.180><c> a</c><00:33:16.660><c> thief</c><00:33:17.019><c> in</c><00:33:17.200><c> the</c><00:33:17.279><c> middle</c><00:33:17.460><c> of</c><00:33:17.660><c> robbing</c><00:33:17.920><c> you</c><00:33:18.140><c> or</c><00:33:18.240><c> something,</c>

00:33:18.480 --> 00:33:21.480

00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:23.900
and<00:33:21.619><c> that's</c><00:33:21.960><c> bound</c><00:33:22.059><c> up</c><00:33:22.200><c> in</c><00:33:22.380><c> Christ</c><00:33:22.779><c> and</c><00:33:23.039><c> God.</c>

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:28.500
So<00:33:25.440><c> he's</c><00:33:25.920><c> now</c><00:33:26.079><c> 20</c><00:33:26.299><c> years</c><00:33:26.619><c> old</c><00:33:26.779><c> and</c><00:33:26.940><c> 2</c><00:33:27.119><c> Chronicles</c><00:33:27.579><c> 34</c><00:33:28.119><c> says,</c>

00:33:28.740 --> 00:33:32.279
they<00:33:28.740><c> broke</c><00:33:28.960><c> down</c><00:33:29.200><c> the</c><00:33:29.359><c> altars</c><00:33:29.599><c> of</c><00:33:29.819><c> Baal</c><00:33:30.019><c> in</c><00:33:30.640><c> his</c><00:33:31.240><c> presence.</c>

00:33:32.460 --> 00:33:33.380
Now,<00:33:32.660><c> here's</c><00:33:32.960><c> the</c><00:33:33.160><c> king.</c>

00:33:33.660 --> 00:33:35.619
He's<00:33:33.900><c> not</c><00:33:34.039><c> sitting</c><00:33:34.160><c> up</c><00:33:34.359><c> on</c><00:33:34.500><c> a</c><00:33:34.660><c> fancy</c><00:33:34.859><c> throne</c><00:33:35.079><c> just</c><00:33:35.380><c> twiddling</c>

his<00:33:35.859><c> thumbs.</c>

00:33:36.359 --> 00:33:38.779
He's<00:33:36.700><c> out</c><00:33:36.900><c> there</c><00:33:37.000><c> on</c><00:33:37.119><c> the</c><00:33:37.339><c> job</c><00:33:37.579><c> site</c><00:33:37.859><c> making</c><00:33:38.240><c> sure</c><00:33:38.480><c> to</c><00:33:38.680><c> tear</c>

00:33:38.779 --> 00:33:39.200
that<00:33:39.039><c> down,</c>

00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:41.500

00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:45.619
He<00:33:42.099><c> was</c><00:33:42.299><c> a</c><00:33:42.559><c> 20</c><00:33:42.720><c>-year</c><00:33:43.079><c>-old</c><00:33:44.259><c> young</c><00:33:44.859><c> man</c>

00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:48.180
bent<00:33:46.440><c> on</c><00:33:46.799><c> serving</c><00:33:47.059><c> God</c><00:33:47.400><c> and</c><00:33:47.640><c> doing</c><00:33:47.759><c> what's</c><00:33:48.059><c> right.</c>

00:33:48.339 --> 00:33:49.740
And<00:33:48.480><c> boy,</c><00:33:48.660><c> did</c><00:33:48.779><c> he</c><00:33:48.920><c> upset</c><00:33:49.180><c> a</c><00:33:49.339><c> lot</c><00:33:49.440><c> of</c><00:33:49.599><c> people.</c>

00:33:49.779 --> 00:33:52.220
You<00:33:49.940><c> can</c><00:33:50.119><c> just</c><00:33:50.299><c> know</c><00:33:50.440><c> how</c><00:33:50.619><c> many</c><00:33:50.759><c> people</c><00:33:50.960><c> that's</c><00:33:51.279><c> upset</c>

00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:55.839
because<00:33:53.240><c> he</c><00:33:53.519><c> was</c><00:33:53.720><c> putting</c><00:33:53.920><c> God</c><00:33:54.240><c> first</c><00:33:54.599><c> in</c><00:33:54.779><c> his</c><00:33:55.019><c> life.</c>

00:33:57.180 --> 00:33:58.759
Now,<00:33:57.359><c> you</c><00:33:57.500><c> remember</c><00:33:57.700><c> back</c><00:33:58.000><c> in</c><00:33:58.220><c> the</c><00:33:58.420><c> judges</c>

00:33:58.759 --> 00:34:03.599
when<00:33:59.180><c> Gideon</c><00:34:00.079><c> broke</c><00:34:00.460><c> down</c><00:34:01.000><c> the</c><00:34:01.220><c> Baal's</c><00:34:02.460><c> altars.</c>

00:34:03.779 --> 00:34:05.420
When<00:34:04.039><c> they</c><00:34:04.259><c> found</c><00:34:04.400><c> out</c><00:34:04.519><c> it</c><00:34:04.599><c> was</c><00:34:04.720><c> Gideon,</c><00:34:04.960><c> they</c><00:34:05.039><c> were</c><00:34:05.180><c> going</c><00:34:05.259><c> to</c>

00:34:05.420 --> 00:34:05.660
kill<00:34:05.539><c> him</c>

00:34:05.660 --> 00:34:06.960
and<00:34:05.740><c> his</c><00:34:05.920><c> father</c><00:34:06.059><c> had</c><00:34:06.200><c> to</c><00:34:06.319><c> come</c><00:34:06.420><c> to</c><00:34:06.559><c> his</c><00:34:06.660><c> rescue</c>

00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:09.039
and<00:34:07.220><c> save</c><00:34:07.799><c> him</c><00:34:08.000><c> from</c><00:34:08.179><c> that</c><00:34:08.340><c> famine.</c>

00:34:09.179 --> 00:34:13.780
So<00:34:09.380><c> now</c><00:34:09.539><c> we</c><00:34:09.800><c> have</c><00:34:10.860><c> instances</c><00:34:11.380><c> in</c><00:34:11.639><c> the</c><00:34:11.800><c> Bible</c><00:34:12.079><c> of</c><00:34:12.360><c> where...</c>

00:34:13.920 --> 00:34:17.039
Hezekiah,<00:34:15.059><c> when</c><00:34:15.360><c> he</c><00:34:15.500><c> was</c><00:34:15.699><c> a</c><00:34:15.820><c> young</c><00:34:15.980><c> man,</c><00:34:16.139><c> he</c><00:34:16.239><c> was</c><00:34:16.400><c> 25.</c>

00:34:17.219 --> 00:34:19.000
I<00:34:17.460><c> suppose</c><00:34:17.619><c> there's</c><00:34:17.800><c> some</c><00:34:18.000><c> 25</c><00:34:18.340><c>-year</c><00:34:18.480><c>-olds</c><00:34:18.539><c> in</c><00:34:18.699><c> here</c><00:34:18.840><c> too.</c>

00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:19.860
We've<00:34:19.239><c> got</c><00:34:19.340><c> 20s.</c>

00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:21.480
Somebody<00:34:20.219><c> should</c><00:34:20.400><c> be</c><00:34:20.539><c> 25.</c>

00:34:21.940 --> 00:34:26.820
But<00:34:22.420><c> there's</c><00:34:22.900><c> this</c><00:34:23.500><c> brass</c><00:34:23.980><c> serpent</c><00:34:24.460><c> which</c><00:34:24.960><c> God</c><00:34:25.599><c> told</c><00:34:26.219><c> Moses</c>

00:34:26.820 --> 00:34:28.000
to<00:34:27.179><c> make.</c>

00:34:28.119 --> 00:34:30.960
So<00:34:28.280><c> this</c><00:34:28.639><c> was</c><00:34:28.820><c> one</c><00:34:29.079><c> serpent</c><00:34:29.420><c> that</c><00:34:29.619><c> was</c><00:34:29.860><c> okay</c><00:34:30.179><c> to</c><00:34:30.460><c> make</c>

00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:32.860
and<00:34:31.780><c> they</c><00:34:31.900><c> put</c><00:34:32.000><c> up</c><00:34:32.119><c> on</c><00:34:32.260><c> a</c><00:34:32.480><c> pole</c>

00:34:32.860 --> 00:34:35.500
and<00:34:33.500><c> all</c><00:34:33.679><c> the</c><00:34:33.860><c> real</c><00:34:34.059><c> serpents</c><00:34:34.360><c> were</c><00:34:34.519><c> running</c><00:34:34.699><c> around</c><00:34:34.980><c> the</c><00:34:35.199><c> ground</c>

00:34:35.500 --> 00:34:36.980
biting<00:34:35.900><c> people</c><00:34:36.199><c> and</c><00:34:36.280><c> they</c><00:34:36.400><c> were</c><00:34:36.579><c> dying.</c>

00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.300
And<00:34:37.619><c> he</c><00:34:37.659><c> said,</c><00:34:37.739><c> just</c><00:34:37.980><c> look</c><00:34:38.300><c> up</c><00:34:38.539><c> at</c><00:34:38.659><c> that</c><00:34:39.179><c> serpent</c><00:34:39.460><c> on</c><00:34:39.679><c> the</c><00:34:39.920><c> pole</c>

00:34:40.300 --> 00:34:42.179
and<00:34:40.900><c> you</c><00:34:41.059><c> won't</c><00:34:41.179><c> die.</c>

00:34:42.420 --> 00:34:45.239
So<00:34:42.880><c> that</c><00:34:43.039><c> was</c><00:34:43.300><c> really</c><00:34:43.579><c> a</c><00:34:43.900><c> special</c><00:34:44.239><c> serpent.</c>

00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:47.820
So<00:34:45.719><c> the</c><00:34:45.900><c> children</c><00:34:46.039><c> of</c><00:34:46.199><c> Israel</c><00:34:46.300><c> said,</c><00:34:46.639><c> wow,</c>

00:34:47.860 --> 00:34:48.780
look<00:34:48.000><c> what</c><00:34:48.099><c> this</c><00:34:48.360><c> did</c><00:34:48.559><c> for</c><00:34:48.699><c> us.</c>

00:34:48.800 --> 00:34:49.989
We'll<00:34:49.019><c> keep</c><00:34:49.260><c> it.</c>

00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:51.059
So<00:34:50.679><c> what</c><00:34:50.900><c> happened?</c>

00:34:51.179 --> 00:34:55.420
They<00:34:51.360><c> started,</c><00:34:51.599><c> they</c><00:34:51.940><c> began</c><00:34:52.139><c> to</c><00:34:52.539><c> worship</c><00:34:52.920><c> it</c><00:34:53.699><c> instead</c><00:34:54.219><c> of</c><00:34:54.480><c> God.</c>

00:34:55.800 --> 00:34:56.820
And<00:34:55.920><c> Hezekiah</c><00:34:56.280><c> comes</c><00:34:56.480><c> to</c><00:34:56.659><c> the</c><00:34:56.739><c> horn.</c>

00:34:56.820 --> 00:34:59.719
He<00:34:56.960><c> says,</c><00:34:57.980><c> take</c><00:34:58.099><c> it</c><00:34:58.239><c> up,</c><00:34:58.719><c> grind</c><00:34:58.739><c> it</c><00:34:58.860><c> up</c><00:34:58.980><c> and</c><00:34:59.099><c> throw</c><00:34:59.300><c> it</c><00:34:59.440><c> away.</c>

00:34:59.960 --> 00:35:01.119
You<00:35:00.159><c> can't</c><00:35:00.420><c> do</c><00:35:00.659><c> that.</c>

00:35:01.380 --> 00:35:04.380
Now<00:35:01.519><c> who's</c><00:35:01.960><c> standing,</c><00:35:02.059><c> he</c><00:35:02.340><c> says,</c><00:35:02.780><c> piece</c><00:35:02.900><c> of</c><00:35:03.219><c> brass.</c>

00:35:06.579 --> 00:35:10.980
The<00:35:07.039><c> point</c><00:35:07.239><c> is,</c><00:35:09.099><c> what's</c><00:35:09.599><c> in</c><00:35:09.719><c> your</c><00:35:09.980><c> life?</c>

00:35:11.679 --> 00:35:18.480
In<00:35:12.260><c> your</c><00:35:12.519><c> garage,</c><00:35:14.900><c> in</c><00:35:14.960><c> your</c><00:35:15.219><c> home,</c><00:35:17.400><c> at</c><00:35:17.500><c> your</c><00:35:17.639><c> place</c><00:35:17.840><c> of</c><00:35:18.099><c> worship,</c>

00:35:18.780 --> 00:35:22.559
at<00:35:18.900><c> a</c><00:35:19.000><c> place</c><00:35:19.099><c> of</c><00:35:19.380><c> work,</c><00:35:21.300><c> that's</c><00:35:21.539><c> your</c><00:35:21.719><c> God.</c>

00:35:24.639 --> 00:35:29.199
People<00:35:25.219><c> do</c><00:35:25.699><c> have</c><00:35:25.980><c> gods</c><00:35:26.420><c> other</c><00:35:26.840><c> than</c><00:35:27.739><c> the</c><00:35:28.059><c> God</c><00:35:28.179><c> of</c><00:35:28.380><c> heaven.</c>

00:35:29.719 --> 00:35:35.880

they<00:36:09.139><c> are</c>

00:36:09.980 --> 00:36:12.159
because<00:36:10.380><c> they</c><00:36:10.539><c> let</c><00:36:10.619><c> them</c><00:36:10.820><c> come</c><00:36:10.960><c> between</c><00:36:11.380><c> them.</c>

00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:15.840
Nothing<00:36:13.300><c> must</c><00:36:13.619><c> come</c><00:36:14.159><c> between</c><00:36:14.539><c> us</c><00:36:14.780><c> and</c><00:36:14.860><c> God.</c>

00:36:16.340 --> 00:36:20.880
Not<00:36:16.619><c> a</c><00:36:16.780><c> person,</c><00:36:18.659><c> not</c><00:36:18.880><c> a</c><00:36:19.059><c> thing,</c><00:36:19.519><c> not</c><00:36:19.739><c> a</c><00:36:20.039><c> career,</c>

00:36:25.099 --> 00:36:29.519
But<00:36:25.500><c> things</c><00:36:25.960><c> do</c><00:36:26.199><c> come</c><00:36:26.460><c> between</c><00:36:26.760><c> us</c><00:36:27.840><c> if</c><00:36:28.199><c> we're</c><00:36:28.340><c> not</c><00:36:28.519><c> careful.</c>

00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:37.320
And<00:36:30.599><c> so</c><00:36:31.219><c> we</c><00:36:32.460><c> must</c><00:36:32.820><c> be</c><00:36:33.380><c> careful</c><00:36:33.900><c> to</c><00:36:34.719><c> put</c><00:36:35.059><c> God</c><00:36:35.559><c> totally</c><00:36:36.059><c> first</c><00:36:36.880><c> in</c>

00:36:37.320 --> 00:36:38.599
our<00:36:37.579><c> life</c>

00:36:38.989 --> 00:36:41.190
and<00:36:39.360><c> He</c><00:36:39.500><c> won't</c><00:36:39.719><c> take</c><00:36:40.000><c> second</c><00:36:40.320><c> fiddle.</c>

00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:43.780
He<00:36:42.119><c> cannot</c><00:36:42.360><c> be</c><00:36:42.539><c> your</c><00:36:42.739><c> copilot.</c>

00:36:44.599 --> 00:36:47.440
He<00:36:44.840><c> has</c><00:36:45.159><c> to</c><00:36:45.480><c> be</c><00:36:45.780><c> first</c><00:36:46.159><c> in</c><00:36:46.360><c> your</c><00:36:46.599><c> life.</c>

00:36:49.500 --> 00:36:53.440
Now<00:36:50.059><c> Josiah</c><00:36:50.619><c> decides</c><00:36:51.280><c> he's</c><00:36:51.760><c> going</c><00:36:51.880><c> to</c><00:36:52.019><c> cleanse</c><00:36:52.219><c> the</c><00:36:52.500><c> temple.</c>

00:36:55.320 --> 00:36:57.500
Very<00:36:55.599><c> good</c><00:36:55.800><c> idea</c><00:36:56.119><c> because</c><00:36:56.519><c> his</c><00:36:57.059><c> parents</c>

00:36:57.500 --> 00:37:00.719
and<00:36:58.300><c> grandparents</c><00:36:58.659><c> had</c><00:36:58.900><c> let</c><00:36:59.019><c> it</c><00:36:59.260><c> fall</c><00:36:59.420><c> into</c><00:36:59.679><c> disarray.</c>

00:37:01.420 --> 00:37:03.659
He<00:37:01.639><c> hires</c><00:37:01.920><c> workers</c><00:37:02.260><c> to</c><00:37:02.460><c> go</c><00:37:02.559><c> in</c><00:37:02.699><c> there</c><00:37:02.860><c> and</c><00:37:03.099><c> clean</c><00:37:03.199><c> it</c><00:37:03.440><c> out</c>

00:37:03.659 --> 00:37:07.340
and<00:37:03.860><c> they're</c><00:37:04.019><c> in</c><00:37:04.840><c> the</c><00:37:04.940><c> house</c><00:37:05.239><c> of</c><00:37:05.460><c> God</c><00:37:05.880><c> cleaning</c><00:37:06.440><c> out</c><00:37:06.719><c> the</c><00:37:06.960><c> rubble,</c>

00:37:07.400 --> 00:37:09.119

00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:10.519
Ha!

00:37:11.019 --> 00:37:13.519
And<00:37:11.159><c> they</c><00:37:12.099><c> reach</c><00:37:12.639><c> down</c><00:37:12.860><c> on</c><00:37:12.960><c> some</c><00:37:13.119><c> shelf</c><00:37:13.340><c> somewhere</c>

00:37:13.519 --> 00:37:16.340
and<00:37:13.679><c> they</c><00:37:13.800><c> take</c><00:37:13.860><c> out</c><00:37:14.320><c> a</c><00:37:14.719><c> book</c><00:37:14.920><c> covered</c><00:37:15.199><c> with</c><00:37:15.440><c> dust.</c>

00:37:16.920 --> 00:37:18.239
What's<00:37:17.440><c> that?</c>

00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:21.239
It<00:37:19.400><c> was</c><00:37:19.960><c> the</c><00:37:20.079><c> first</c><00:37:20.280><c> five</c><00:37:20.519><c> books</c><00:37:20.739><c> of</c><00:37:20.920><c> Moses.</c>

00:37:23.980 --> 00:37:26.659
Do<00:37:24.199><c> you</c><00:37:24.360><c> realize</c><00:37:24.619><c> that</c><00:37:24.920><c> God's</c><00:37:25.400><c> book</c><00:37:25.579><c> was</c><00:37:25.860><c> lost</c><00:37:26.159><c> in</c><00:37:26.380><c> the</c><00:37:26.500><c> house</c>

of<00:37:26.940><c> God</c>

00:37:27.300 --> 00:37:29.920

00:37:30.920 --> 00:37:37.659
And<00:37:31.440><c> they</c><00:37:31.739><c> found</c><00:37:32.179><c> it</c><00:37:33.400><c> and</c><00:37:33.820><c> they</c><00:37:34.099><c> brought</c><00:37:34.239><c> it</c><00:37:35.059><c> to</c><00:37:35.300><c> King</c><00:37:36.199><c> Josiah.</c>

And<00:37:39.019><c> they</c><00:37:39.699><c> said,</c>

00:37:54.719 --> 00:37:56.400

00:38:25.619 --> 00:38:27.420
It's<00:38:25.860><c> a</c><00:38:26.019><c> life</c><00:38:26.159><c> to</c><00:38:26.420><c> be</c><00:38:26.579><c> lived.</c>

00:38:27.579 --> 00:38:30.059
So<00:38:27.820><c> we</c><00:38:27.960><c> take</c><00:38:28.139><c> these</c><00:38:28.420><c> words</c><00:38:28.760><c> and</c><00:38:29.039><c> we</c><00:38:29.280><c> learn</c><00:38:29.500><c> them</c>

00:38:30.059 --> 00:38:32.159
and<00:38:30.539><c> then</c><00:38:30.719><c> we</c><00:38:30.900><c> go</c><00:38:31.079><c> out</c><00:38:31.300><c> and</c><00:38:31.659><c> use</c><00:38:31.940><c> them.</c>

00:38:32.519 --> 00:38:34.760
We<00:38:32.960><c> have</c><00:38:33.219><c> to</c><00:38:33.400><c> put</c><00:38:33.500><c> it</c><00:38:33.699><c> into</c><00:38:33.920><c> action</c><00:38:34.219><c> in</c><00:38:34.420><c> our</c><00:38:34.579><c> life.</c>

00:38:34.780 --> 00:38:36.599
And<00:38:34.980><c> that's</c><00:38:35.320><c> exactly</c><00:38:35.699><c> what</c><00:38:35.940><c> Josiah</c><00:38:36.340><c> did.</c>

00:38:36.619 --> 00:38:39.519
In<00:38:37.400><c> fact,</c><00:38:37.900><c> brothers</c><00:38:38.199><c> and</c><00:38:38.380><c> sisters,</c><00:38:38.599><c> you're</c><00:38:38.820><c> going</c><00:38:38.940><c> to</c><00:38:39.000><c> do</c><00:38:39.139><c> it,</c>

00:38:39.559 --> 00:38:42.940
I<00:38:39.860><c> hope,</c><00:38:41.139><c> today</c><00:38:41.619><c> also.</c>

00:38:43.699 --> 00:38:48.670
You're<00:38:43.900><c> going</c><00:38:43.980><c> to</c><00:38:44.059><c> do</c><00:38:44.179><c> what</c><00:38:44.519><c> Josiah</c><00:38:45.119><c> asked</c><00:38:45.679><c> his</c><00:38:47.000><c> followers</c><00:38:47.500><c> to</c><00:38:47.880><c> do.</c>

00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:53.340
Because<00:38:49.280><c> they</c><00:38:49.519><c> read</c><00:38:49.780><c> this</c><00:38:50.119><c> book</c><00:38:50.400><c> and</c><00:38:50.739><c> he</c><00:38:52.079><c> ran</c><00:38:52.760><c> his</c><00:38:53.099><c> clothes.</c>

00:38:53.420 --> 00:38:56.280
He<00:38:53.679><c> realized</c><00:38:53.940><c> how</c><00:38:54.579><c> sinful</c><00:38:54.860><c> they'd</c><00:38:55.280><c> been.</c>

00:38:56.420 --> 00:38:59.019
He<00:38:56.619><c> said,</c><00:38:57.760><c> go</c><00:38:57.860><c> inquire</c><00:38:58.260><c> the</c><00:38:58.420><c> Lord</c><00:38:58.599><c> for</c><00:38:58.800><c> me.</c>

00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:01.980
This<00:38:59.260><c> is</c><00:38:59.519><c> 2</c><00:38:59.679><c> Chronicles</c><00:39:00.260><c> 34,</c><00:39:00.820><c> 21.</c>

00:39:02.239 --> 00:39:03.019
He's<00:39:02.500><c> read</c><00:39:02.699><c> this.</c>

00:39:03.219 --> 00:39:05.679
He<00:39:03.219><c> knows,</c><00:39:03.800><c> oh,</c><00:39:04.219><c> we've</c><00:39:04.599><c> been</c><00:39:04.719><c> doing</c><00:39:04.920><c> everything</c><00:39:05.260><c> wrong.</c>

00:39:05.679 --> 00:39:09.599
Go<00:39:06.320><c> inquire</c><00:39:06.739><c> the</c><00:39:06.900><c> Lord</c><00:39:07.019><c> for</c><00:39:07.219><c> me</c><00:39:07.599><c> and</c><00:39:07.980><c> for</c><00:39:08.159><c> those</c><00:39:08.380><c> left</c><00:39:08.599><c> in</c><00:39:08.780><c> Israel</c><00:39:09.099><c> and</c><00:39:09.360><c> Judah</c>

00:39:09.599 --> 00:39:12.039
concerning<00:39:10.000><c> the</c><00:39:10.199><c> words</c><00:39:10.400><c> of</c><00:39:10.559><c> the</c><00:39:10.699><c> book</c><00:39:10.820><c> that</c><00:39:10.980><c> is</c><00:39:11.199><c> found.</c>

00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:16.139
For<00:39:12.179><c> great</c><00:39:12.539><c> is</c><00:39:12.800><c> the</c><00:39:12.960><c> wrath</c><00:39:13.179><c> of</c><00:39:13.400><c> God</c><00:39:13.880><c> who</c><00:39:14.480><c> has</c><00:39:15.440><c> been</c><00:39:15.780><c> poured</c><00:39:15.900><c> out</c>

00:39:16.139 --> 00:39:16.980
upon<00:39:16.340><c> our</c><00:39:16.639><c> fathers.</c>

00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:19.380
They<00:39:17.440><c> have</c><00:39:17.699><c> not</c><00:39:17.960><c> kept</c><00:39:18.179><c> the</c><00:39:18.300><c> word</c><00:39:18.380><c> of</c><00:39:18.519><c> the</c><00:39:18.659><c> Lord</c>

00:39:19.599 --> 00:39:22.380
in<00:39:20.039><c> doing</c><00:39:20.199><c> all</c><00:39:20.480><c> that</c><00:39:20.639><c> is</c><00:39:20.780><c> written</c><00:39:21.000><c> in</c><00:39:21.239><c> this</c><00:39:21.480><c> book.</c>

00:39:23.579 --> 00:39:25.940
So<00:39:23.960><c> he</c><00:39:24.099><c> was</c><00:39:24.440><c> convicted</c><00:39:24.780><c> in</c><00:39:24.980><c> his</c><00:39:25.219><c> heart.</c>

00:39:27.019 --> 00:39:29.800
And<00:39:27.300><c> we</c><00:39:27.380><c> know</c><00:39:27.519><c> that</c><00:39:27.719><c> his</c><00:39:28.239><c> own</c><00:39:28.760><c> son,</c>

00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:32.119
when<00:39:30.420><c> Jeremiah</c><00:39:30.820><c> went</c><00:39:31.019><c> to</c><00:39:31.159><c> him</c><00:39:31.320><c> with</c><00:39:31.519><c> the</c><00:39:31.599><c> word</c><00:39:31.699><c> of</c><00:39:31.920><c> God,</c>

00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:34.599
he<00:39:32.559><c> took</c><00:39:32.699><c> a</c><00:39:32.940><c> penknife</c><00:39:33.320><c> and</c><00:39:33.519><c> cut</c><00:39:33.639><c> off</c><00:39:33.820><c> the</c><00:39:34.000><c> pages</c><00:39:34.239><c> and</c><00:39:34.460><c> threw</c><00:39:34.559><c> it</c>

00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:35.719
in<00:39:34.719><c> the</c><00:39:34.880><c> fire.</c>

00:39:36.699 --> 00:39:41.079
Some<00:39:37.139><c> people</c><00:39:37.579><c> hear</c><00:39:38.139><c> the</c><00:39:38.300><c> word</c><00:39:38.420><c> of</c><00:39:38.559><c> God,</c><00:39:39.960><c> they</c><00:39:40.139><c> repent.</c>

00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:43.260
They<00:39:41.699><c> beg</c><00:39:41.940><c> God</c><00:39:42.179><c> for</c><00:39:42.460><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:39:43.539 --> 00:39:46.440
They<00:39:43.800><c> seek</c><00:39:44.079><c> God</c><00:39:44.460><c> and</c><00:39:44.739><c> God</c><00:39:44.960><c> will</c><00:39:45.119><c> be</c><00:39:45.340><c> for</c><00:39:45.420><c> them</c><00:39:46.000><c> and</c><00:39:46.239><c> he'll</c>

00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:47.079
bless<00:39:46.659><c> them.</c>

00:39:47.500 --> 00:39:48.980
Others<00:39:47.699><c> hear</c><00:39:47.820><c> the</c><00:39:47.980><c> word</c><00:39:48.079><c> of</c><00:39:48.159><c> God</c><00:39:48.320><c> says,</c><00:39:48.460><c> I</c><00:39:48.500><c> don't</c><00:39:48.659><c> have</c><00:39:48.780><c> time</c>

00:39:48.980 --> 00:39:50.039
for<00:39:49.199><c> that.</c>

00:39:51.059 --> 00:39:52.340
I've<00:39:51.320><c> got</c><00:39:51.420><c> a</c><00:39:51.659><c> career.</c>

00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:53.460
I've<00:39:52.599><c> got</c><00:39:52.719><c> things</c><00:39:52.960><c> to</c><00:39:53.179><c> do.</c>

00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:54.619
I've<00:39:54.099><c> got</c><00:39:54.159><c> my</c><00:39:54.360><c> sports.</c>

00:39:54.679 --> 00:39:55.340
I've<00:39:54.800><c> got</c><00:39:54.860><c> my</c><00:39:55.059><c> family.</c>

00:39:55.440 --> 00:39:57.000
I've<00:39:55.500><c> got</c><00:39:55.559><c> whatever</c><00:39:55.800><c> it</c><00:39:56.019><c> is.</c>

00:39:57.280 --> 00:39:59.380
And<00:39:57.480><c> they</c><00:39:57.679><c> turn</c><00:39:57.840><c> away</c><00:39:58.119><c> from</c><00:39:58.340><c> God.</c>

00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:02.179
And<00:40:00.579><c> so</c><00:40:00.679><c> that's</c><00:40:00.920><c> a</c><00:40:01.059><c> great</c><00:40:01.199><c> tragedy.</c>

00:40:03.199 --> 00:40:04.739
And<00:40:03.320><c> Josiah</c><00:40:03.619><c> was</c><00:40:03.800><c> a</c><00:40:03.960><c> man</c><00:40:04.059><c> of</c><00:40:04.239><c> action.</c>

00:40:04.739 --> 00:40:09.099
And<00:40:05.340><c> he</c><00:40:05.500><c> realized</c><00:40:06.000><c> that</c><00:40:06.179><c> they</c><00:40:06.380><c> needed</c><00:40:06.579><c> to</c><00:40:06.800><c> do</c><00:40:06.920><c> something</c><00:40:07.139><c> about</c><00:40:07.460><c> it.</c>

00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:12.039
So<00:40:09.579><c> the</c><00:40:09.780><c> king</c><00:40:09.980><c> sent</c><00:40:10.239><c> and</c><00:40:10.420><c> gathered</c><00:40:10.559><c> all</c><00:40:10.820><c> the</c><00:40:10.980><c> elders</c><00:40:11.199><c> of</c><00:40:11.380><c> Israel</c><00:40:11.639><c> and</c><00:40:11.840><c> Judah</c>

00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:14.099
and<00:40:12.159><c> the</c><00:40:12.300><c> king</c><00:40:12.440><c> went</c><00:40:12.599><c> to</c><00:40:12.760><c> the</c><00:40:12.900><c> house</c><00:40:13.059><c> of</c><00:40:13.280><c> God.</c>

00:40:14.460 --> 00:40:17.280
And<00:40:14.639><c> he</c><00:40:14.840><c> read</c><00:40:14.920><c> them,</c><00:40:15.320><c> read</c><00:40:15.679><c> in</c><00:40:15.880><c> the</c><00:40:15.980><c> hearing</c><00:40:16.280><c> all</c><00:40:17.000><c> the</c><00:40:17.139><c> words</c>

00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:23.539
I've<00:40:21.960><c> got</c><00:40:22.139><c> something</c><00:40:22.380><c> here,</c><00:40:22.719><c> brothers</c><00:40:22.880><c> and</c><00:40:23.039><c> sisters,</c><00:40:23.219><c> I</c><00:40:23.380><c> want</c>

00:40:24.940 --> 00:40:27.360
That's<00:40:25.340><c> what's</c><00:40:25.699><c> really</c><00:40:26.219><c> happening</c><00:40:26.420><c> this</c><00:40:26.699><c> week,</c><00:40:26.920><c> isn't</c><00:40:27.039><c> it?</c>

00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:30.760
You've<00:40:27.840><c> imported</c><00:40:28.079><c> three</c><00:40:28.440><c> speakers,</c><00:40:29.739><c> one</c><00:40:29.960><c> from</c><00:40:30.159><c> Australia,</c>

when<00:40:42.519><c> you</c><00:40:42.719><c> came.</c>

00:40:43.119 --> 00:40:44.619
That's<00:40:43.500><c> our</c><00:40:43.679><c> goal.</c>

00:40:45.420 --> 00:40:51.659

00:40:53.500 --> 00:40:54.820
And<00:40:53.699><c> we</c><00:40:53.780><c> might</c><00:40:53.940><c> as</c><00:40:54.079><c> well</c><00:40:54.199><c> have</c><00:40:54.360><c> stayed</c><00:40:54.480><c> home.</c>

00:40:54.980 --> 00:40:57.320
Matt<00:40:55.199><c> should</c><00:40:55.480><c> be</c><00:40:55.800><c> back</c><00:40:55.940><c> home</c><00:40:56.139><c> with</c><00:40:56.340><c> those</c><00:40:56.639><c> six</c><00:40:56.880><c> little</c><00:40:57.099><c> kids</c>

00:41:04.730 --> 00:41:06.190

00:41:06.329 --> 00:41:10.429
And<00:41:06.510><c> if</c><00:41:06.690><c> you</c><00:41:07.070><c> don't</c><00:41:07.449><c> get</c><00:41:08.389><c> moved</c><00:41:08.630><c> by</c><00:41:08.829><c> what</c><00:41:08.989><c> we've</c><00:41:09.250><c> done</c><00:41:09.409><c> this</c><00:41:09.670><c> week,</c>

00:41:10.769 --> 00:41:13.610
since<00:41:10.849><c> you're</c><00:41:11.170><c> going</c><00:41:11.230><c> to</c><00:41:11.329><c> do</c><00:41:11.469><c> better</c><00:41:11.829><c> than</c><00:41:11.929><c> you've</c><00:41:12.190><c> ever</c><00:41:12.409><c> done</c><00:41:12.530><c> before,</c>

00:41:13.710 --> 00:41:17.849
we<00:41:13.789><c> can</c><00:41:13.949><c> stay</c><00:41:14.230><c> home</c><00:41:14.769><c> and</c><00:41:15.510><c> just</c><00:41:15.690><c> let</c><00:41:15.789><c> you</c><00:41:15.929><c> go</c><00:41:16.070><c> on</c><00:41:16.269><c> doing</c><00:41:16.369><c> what</c><00:41:16.530><c> you</c><00:41:16.690><c> want</c><00:41:16.809><c> to</c><00:41:16.949><c> do.</c>

00:41:18.949 --> 00:41:23.130
So<00:41:19.369><c> this</c><00:41:19.590><c> is</c><00:41:20.050><c> very</c><00:41:20.369><c> important,</c><00:41:21.969><c> what</c><00:41:22.289><c> we're</c><00:41:22.510><c> talking</c><00:41:22.769><c> about,</c>

00:41:23.230 --> 00:41:24.829
if<00:41:23.429><c> God</c><00:41:23.690><c> be</c><00:41:23.969><c> for</c><00:41:24.070><c> you.</c>

00:41:25.750 --> 00:41:28.110
But<00:41:26.110><c> you</c><00:41:26.349><c> see,</c><00:41:26.929><c> Josiah</c><00:41:27.210><c> didn't</c><00:41:27.409><c> just</c><00:41:27.670><c> read</c><00:41:27.809><c> the</c><00:41:27.969><c> Bible,</c>

00:41:28.170 --> 00:41:30.070
he<00:41:28.230><c> said,</c><00:41:28.349><c> well,</c><00:41:28.469><c> I'm</c><00:41:28.809><c> sure</c><00:41:28.969><c> glad</c><00:41:29.150><c> of</c><00:41:29.289><c> that,</c><00:41:29.429><c> I'm</c><00:41:29.769><c> going</c><00:41:29.869><c> to</c><00:41:29.949><c> do</c>

00:41:30.070 --> 00:41:31.110
better<00:41:30.289><c> now.</c>

00:41:31.170 --> 00:41:33.269
No,<00:41:31.429><c> he</c><00:41:31.590><c> put</c><00:41:31.730><c> it</c><00:41:31.889><c> into</c><00:41:32.110><c> practice</c><00:41:32.489><c> in</c><00:41:32.630><c> his</c><00:41:32.829><c> life.</c>

00:41:33.670 --> 00:41:35.989
And<00:41:33.750><c> then</c><00:41:33.869><c> he</c><00:41:33.949><c> asked</c><00:41:34.250><c> his</c><00:41:34.789><c> congregation</c><00:41:35.309><c> to</c><00:41:35.530><c> do</c><00:41:35.610><c> that,</c><00:41:35.929><c> too.</c>

00:41:36.190 --> 00:41:38.010
So<00:41:36.349><c> the</c><00:41:36.590><c> writers</c><00:41:36.610><c> went</c><00:41:36.869><c> through</c><00:41:37.070><c> all</c><00:41:37.269><c> Israel</c><00:41:37.570><c> and</c><00:41:37.690><c> Judah</c><00:41:37.809><c> with</c>

00:41:38.010 --> 00:41:39.710
the<00:41:38.130><c> letters</c><00:41:38.289><c> to</c><00:41:38.469><c> the</c><00:41:38.650><c> king.</c>

00:41:40.949 --> 00:41:43.429
And<00:41:41.309><c> they</c><00:41:41.469><c> asked</c><00:41:41.650><c> him</c><00:41:41.750><c> to</c><00:41:41.909><c> return</c><00:41:42.230><c> to</c><00:41:42.389><c> the</c><00:41:42.570><c> Lord.</c>

00:41:44.170 --> 00:41:46.269
He'll<00:41:44.489><c> have</c><00:41:44.650><c> compassion</c><00:41:45.110><c> on</c><00:41:45.309><c> us.</c>

00:41:47.190 --> 00:41:49.469
And<00:41:47.369><c> some</c><00:41:47.530><c> of</c><00:41:47.650><c> the</c><00:41:47.769><c> people</c><00:41:47.949><c> laughed</c><00:41:48.250><c> him</c><00:41:48.489><c> to</c><00:41:48.670><c> scorn.</c>

00:41:50.389 --> 00:41:52.030
Oh,<00:41:50.750><c> don't</c><00:41:51.110><c> be</c><00:41:51.349><c> such</c><00:41:51.530><c> a</c><00:41:51.670><c> funny</c><00:41:51.849><c> daddy.</c>

00:41:52.090 --> 00:41:54.489
We've<00:41:52.349><c> got</c><00:41:52.409><c> a</c><00:41:52.550><c> life</c><00:41:52.690><c> today,</c><00:41:52.849><c> we're</c><00:41:53.010><c> not</c><00:41:53.110><c> going</c><00:41:53.230><c> to</c><00:41:53.309><c> be</c><00:41:53.469><c> bothered</c><00:41:53.610><c> with</c><00:41:53.809><c> that.</c>

00:41:54.769 --> 00:41:58.969
See,<00:41:55.829><c> we're</c><00:41:56.190><c> all</c><00:41:56.489><c> three</c><00:41:56.710><c> brethren</c><00:41:57.030><c> and</c><00:41:57.989><c> everyone</c><00:41:58.269><c> else</c><00:41:58.489><c> involved</c><00:41:58.809><c> in</c>

00:41:58.969 --> 00:41:59.309
the<00:41:59.130><c> school,</c>

00:41:59.469 --> 00:42:04.530
all<00:41:59.829><c> dedicated</c><00:42:00.349><c> to</c><00:42:00.849><c> trying</c><00:42:01.329><c> to</c><00:42:01.650><c> help</c><00:42:01.929><c> all</c><00:42:02.449><c> of</c><00:42:02.650><c> us</c><00:42:03.070><c> together</c><00:42:03.949><c> to</c>

00:42:05.829 --> 00:42:07.570
It's<00:42:05.969><c> not</c><00:42:06.050><c> a</c><00:42:06.110><c> do</c><00:42:06.230><c>-it</c><00:42:06.289><c>-yourself</c><00:42:06.730><c> kid.</c>

00:42:08.610 --> 00:42:13.269
So<00:42:08.989><c> Josiah,</c><00:42:09.809><c> we're</c><00:42:09.989><c> told</c><00:42:10.190><c> in</c><00:42:10.389><c> 2</c><00:42:10.610><c> Chronicles</c><00:42:11.050><c> 34,</c><00:42:11.550><c> 33,</c><00:42:12.150><c> 31,</c><00:42:12.809><c> 32,</c>

00:42:13.630 --> 00:42:16.210

I'm<00:42:18.010><c> going</c><00:42:18.090><c> to</c><00:42:18.210><c> make</c><00:42:18.349><c> a</c><00:42:18.590><c> covenant</c><00:42:18.789><c> with</c><00:42:19.070><c> the</c><00:42:19.210><c> Lord.</c>

00:42:20.190 --> 00:42:24.289
I'm<00:42:20.690><c> going</c><00:42:20.769><c> to</c><00:42:20.869><c> make</c><00:42:20.989><c> a</c><00:42:21.309><c> commitment</c><00:42:21.570><c> to</c><00:42:21.909><c> God</c><00:42:22.489><c> starting</c><00:42:23.210><c> today.</c>

00:42:31.369 --> 00:42:32.690
He<00:42:31.650><c> said,</c><00:42:31.769><c> I</c><00:42:31.849><c> want</c><00:42:32.010><c> you</c><00:42:32.170><c> to</c><00:42:32.389><c> stand</c><00:42:32.530><c> to</c><00:42:32.650><c> this.</c>

00:42:32.730 --> 00:42:34.789
I'm<00:42:32.909><c> not</c><00:42:32.989><c> going</c><00:42:33.090><c> to</c><00:42:33.110><c> ask</c><00:42:33.250><c> you</c><00:42:33.369><c> to</c><00:42:33.530><c> stand</c><00:42:33.710><c> up</c><00:42:33.889><c> now.</c>

00:42:35.409 --> 00:42:38.610
But<00:42:35.789><c> he's</c><00:42:36.070><c> asking</c><00:42:36.309><c> you</c><00:42:36.510><c> to</c><00:42:36.710><c> stand</c><00:42:37.349><c> to</c><00:42:37.889><c> making</c><00:42:38.070><c> this</c><00:42:38.289><c> promise.</c>

00:42:49.690 --> 00:42:53.550

Of<00:49:26.730><c> course,</c><00:49:27.349><c> he's</c><00:49:27.590><c> baptized</c><00:49:28.010><c> now</c><00:49:28.190><c> and</c><00:49:28.289><c> a</c><00:49:28.409><c> very</c><00:49:28.630><c> fine</c><00:49:28.809><c> brother</c>

living<00:49:29.289><c> in</c><00:49:29.550><c> Scotland.</c>

00:49:30.909 --> 00:49:34.130
But<00:49:31.070><c> if</c><00:49:31.510><c> you've</c><00:49:31.730><c> been</c><00:49:31.829><c> before,</c><00:49:32.789><c> you're</c><00:49:32.969><c> welcome</c><00:49:33.130><c> to</c><00:49:33.309><c> come</c><00:49:33.409><c> again.</c>

Nobody,<00:49:35.230><c> it's</c><00:49:35.710><c> completely</c><00:49:36.010><c> voluntary</c><00:49:36.570><c> for</c><00:49:36.929><c> everybody.</c>

00:49:38.050 --> 00:49:40.449
I<00:49:38.110><c> mean,</c><00:49:38.230><c> no</c><00:49:38.469><c> young</c><00:49:38.650><c> person</c><00:49:39.050><c> is</c><00:49:39.670><c> required</c><00:49:40.110><c> to</c><00:49:40.329><c> go.</c>

00:49:40.590 --> 00:49:42.849
It's<00:49:40.769><c> only</c><00:49:40.969><c> if</c><00:49:41.230><c> you</c><00:49:41.570><c> want</c><00:49:41.809><c> to.</c>

00:49:43.570 --> 00:49:47.969
But<00:49:43.750><c> I</c><00:49:43.809><c> can</c><00:49:44.050><c> tell</c><00:49:44.190><c> you,</c><00:49:44.289><c> if</c><00:49:44.409><c> you're</c><00:49:44.590><c> not</c><00:49:44.750><c> baptized,</c><00:49:46.250><c> I</c><00:49:46.510><c> want</c><00:49:46.730><c> you</c><00:49:46.929><c> to</c><00:49:47.150><c> come.</c>

00:49:51.429 --> 00:49:53.429

00:49:53.550 --> 00:49:54.530
I<00:49:53.750><c> should</c><00:49:53.909><c> have</c><00:49:54.070><c> shut</c><00:49:54.349><c> up.</c>

00:49:54.769 --> 00:49:57.909

and<00:49:58.090><c> 42</c><00:49:58.389><c> seconds.</c>

00:49:58.750 --> 00:49:59.889
So<00:49:58.989><c> I'll</c><00:49:59.150><c> quit.</c>

00:50:00.750 --> 00:50:03.210
