All<00:01:02.399><c> right,</c><00:01:02.560><c> we're</c><00:01:02.920><c> talking</c><00:01:03.240><c> about</c><00:01:03.439><c> the</c><00:01:03.600><c> Book</c><00:01:03.759><c> of</c><00:01:04.019><c> Proverbs.</c>

00:01:05.620 --> 00:01:09.140
Yesterday<00:01:06.000><c> we</c><00:01:06.140><c> were</c><00:01:06.319><c> looking</c><00:01:06.560><c> at</c><00:01:06.780><c> the</c><00:01:07.040><c> structure</c><00:01:07.400><c> of</c><00:01:07.659><c> the</c><00:01:07.780><c> Book</c><00:01:07.959><c> of</c><00:01:08.200><c> Proverbs.</c>

00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:13.599
We<00:01:10.099><c> were</c><00:01:10.299><c> also</c><00:01:10.579><c> looking</c><00:01:10.920><c> at</c><00:01:11.859><c> some</c><00:01:12.299><c> of</c><00:01:12.439><c> the</c><00:01:12.700><c> important</c><00:01:13.099><c> themes</c>

00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.019
that<00:01:13.939><c> run</c><00:01:14.159><c> through</c><00:01:14.400><c> the</c><00:01:14.540><c> Book</c><00:01:14.719><c> of</c><00:01:15.000><c> Proverbs.</c>

00:01:16.620 --> 00:01:20.459
And<00:01:17.140><c> yesterday</c><00:01:17.620><c> we</c><00:01:18.620><c> took</c><00:01:18.920><c> a</c><00:01:19.099><c> look</c><00:01:19.340><c> at</c><00:01:19.599><c> what</c><00:01:19.760><c> could</c><00:01:19.980><c> be</c><00:01:20.239><c> called</c>

00:01:20.459 --> 00:01:23.019
the<00:01:20.719><c> two</c><00:01:20.939><c> voices</c><00:01:21.519><c> in</c><00:01:22.019><c> Proverbs,</c>

00:01:23.939 --> 00:01:26.620
represented<00:01:24.459><c> figuratively</c><00:01:24.980><c> by</c><00:01:25.359><c> two</c><00:01:25.640><c> women.</c>

00:01:27.620 --> 00:01:31.180
In<00:01:27.900><c> Proverbs</c><00:01:28.480><c> chapter</c><00:01:28.879><c> 7,</c><00:01:29.840><c> we</c><00:01:30.079><c> have</c><00:01:30.219><c> a</c><00:01:30.359><c> description</c><00:01:30.760><c> of</c><00:01:30.920><c> these</c>

00:01:31.180 --> 00:01:32.260
two<00:01:31.400><c> women.</c>

00:01:32.540 --> 00:01:35.180
One<00:01:32.719><c> we</c><00:01:32.859><c> could</c><00:01:33.099><c> call</c><00:01:33.319><c> the</c><00:01:33.480><c> woman</c><00:01:33.659><c> of</c><00:01:33.920><c> wisdom,</c><00:01:34.819><c> and</c><00:01:34.980><c> the</c><00:01:35.079><c> other</c>

00:01:35.180 --> 00:01:37.099
we<00:01:35.280><c> could</c><00:01:35.480><c> call</c><00:01:35.659><c> the</c><00:01:35.819><c> woman</c><00:01:36.000><c> of</c><00:01:36.299><c> folly.</c>

00:01:37.400 --> 00:01:40.140
We<00:01:37.640><c> tried</c><00:01:37.840><c> to</c><00:01:38.060><c> stress</c><00:01:38.260><c> yesterday</c><00:01:38.700><c> that</c><00:01:38.879><c> these</c><00:01:39.099><c> are</c><00:01:39.359><c> simply</c>

00:01:40.140 --> 00:01:42.280
figurative<00:01:41.060><c> expressions,</c>

00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.939
and<00:01:42.920><c> that</c><00:01:43.000><c> the</c><00:01:43.239><c> woman</c><00:01:43.540><c> always</c><00:01:44.079><c> represents</c><00:01:44.640><c> the</c><00:01:44.959><c> ecclesia.</c>

00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:48.900
The<00:01:46.319><c> woman</c><00:01:46.480><c> is</c><00:01:46.680><c> a</c><00:01:46.879><c> figure</c><00:01:47.140><c> that</c><00:01:47.459><c> represents</c><00:01:47.939><c> the</c><00:01:48.400><c> community</c>

00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:51.260
of<00:01:49.640><c> followers</c><00:01:50.019><c> and</c><00:01:50.340><c> believers.</c>

00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:54.299
So<00:01:51.819><c> they're</c><00:01:52.040><c> always</c><00:01:52.519><c> represented,</c><00:01:53.060><c> both</c><00:01:53.379><c> male</c><00:01:53.560><c> and</c><00:01:53.760><c> female,</c>

00:01:54.500 --> 00:01:55.959
in<00:01:54.700><c> a</c><00:01:54.780><c> woman</c><00:01:55.060><c> figure.</c>

00:01:56.200 --> 00:02:01.060
Christ<00:01:56.540><c> is</c><00:01:56.780><c> represented</c><00:01:57.219><c> as</c><00:01:57.599><c> our</c><00:01:57.840><c> groom,</c><00:01:58.959><c> the</c><00:01:59.120><c> one</c><00:01:59.359><c> to</c><00:01:59.620><c> whom</c><00:01:59.739><c> we</c><00:01:59.980><c> are</c><00:02:00.200><c> to</c><00:02:00.500><c> share</c><00:02:00.739><c> a</c>

00:02:02.859 --> 00:02:05.900
if<00:02:02.980><c> we</c><00:02:03.099><c> are</c><00:02:03.200><c> part</c><00:02:03.420><c> of</c><00:02:03.560><c> his</c><00:02:04.120><c> bride</c><00:02:04.579><c> and</c><00:02:04.719><c> his</c><00:02:04.959><c> community.</c>

00:02:06.299 --> 00:02:09.199
So<00:02:06.579><c> though</c><00:02:06.780><c> we</c><00:02:07.060><c> talk</c><00:02:07.260><c> about</c><00:02:07.739><c> Miss</c><00:02:08.020><c> Wisdom</c><00:02:08.400><c> and</c><00:02:08.560><c> Miss</c><00:02:08.840><c> Folly,</c>

00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:13.000
we're<00:02:09.800><c> really</c><00:02:10.099><c> talking</c><00:02:10.479><c> about</c><00:02:11.419><c> symbols</c><00:02:11.919><c> and</c><00:02:12.240><c> scripture</c><00:02:12.639><c> for</c>

00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.699
a<00:02:13.180><c> group</c><00:02:13.300><c> of</c><00:02:13.599><c> people,</c><00:02:14.039><c> male</c><00:02:14.300><c> and</c><00:02:14.639><c> female.</c>

00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:18.599
In<00:02:16.539><c> Proverbs</c><00:02:16.879><c> 7,</c><00:02:17.280><c> we</c><00:02:17.419><c> saw</c><00:02:17.620><c> where</c><00:02:17.759><c> those</c><00:02:18.000><c> two</c><00:02:18.199><c> women</c><00:02:18.360><c> are</c>

00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:19.979
brought<00:02:18.759><c> together.</c>

00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.240
I'd<00:02:21.840><c> like</c><00:02:21.840><c> today</c><00:02:22.219><c> to</c><00:02:22.719><c> look</c><00:02:23.039><c> at</c><00:02:23.280><c> another</c><00:02:23.639><c> theme</c><00:02:23.979><c> running</c>

00:02:24.240 --> 00:02:25.060
through<00:02:24.599><c> Proverbs</c>

00:02:25.060 --> 00:02:28.080
that's<00:02:25.319><c> very</c><00:02:25.580><c> important</c><00:02:26.039><c> for</c><00:02:26.300><c> young</c><00:02:26.539><c> people,</c><00:02:27.360><c> equally</c><00:02:27.740><c> as</c>

00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:29.080

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.719
Well,<00:02:33.639><c> the</c><00:02:33.759><c> page</c><00:02:34.060><c> obviously</c><00:02:34.520><c> gives</c><00:02:34.719><c> it</c><00:02:34.919><c> away.</c><00:02:35.800><c> It's</c><00:02:36.039><c> the</c><00:02:36.219><c> theme</c><00:02:36.460><c> of</c>

self<00:02:37.000><c>-control.</c>

00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:42.800
Before<00:02:40.520><c> we</c><00:02:40.680><c> look</c><00:02:40.879><c> at</c><00:02:41.159><c> Proverbs</c><00:02:41.520><c> and</c><00:02:41.699><c> how</c><00:02:42.000><c> Proverbs</c><00:02:42.340><c> deals</c>

00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:44.120

00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:48.000

Good<00:13:40.399><c> strategies.</c>

00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:46.659

00:13:50.620 --> 00:13:52.899
That's<00:13:51.039><c> a</c><00:13:51.200><c> fair</c><00:13:51.340><c> strategy.</c><00:13:52.019><c> Good.</c>

00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:58.620
That's<00:13:57.000><c> a</c><00:13:57.100><c> fair</c><00:13:57.220><c> strategy</c><00:13:57.679><c> too.</c>

00:16:51.580 --> 00:16:57.299
Being<00:16:51.879><c> born</c><00:16:52.139><c> again,</c><00:16:54.259><c> not</c><00:16:54.460><c> of</c><00:16:54.720><c> corruptible</c><00:16:55.279><c> seed,</c><00:16:55.559><c> but</c><00:16:55.720><c> of</c><00:16:55.940><c> incorruptible.</c>

00:17:05.859 --> 00:17:07.799
Forgiving<00:17:06.339><c> I'm</c><00:17:06.819><c> sure</c><00:17:06.980><c> is</c><00:17:07.140><c> an</c><00:17:07.319><c> implication.</c>

00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:08.920
It's<00:17:07.980><c> part</c><00:17:08.160><c> of</c><00:17:08.299><c> that</c><00:17:08.559><c> package.</c>

00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:11.740
But<00:17:08.980><c> be</c><00:17:09.539><c> a</c><00:17:09.640><c> little</c><00:17:09.720><c> more</c><00:17:09.940><c> general</c><00:17:10.240><c> than</c><00:17:10.420><c> that</c><00:17:10.579><c> first</c><00:17:10.799><c> of</c><00:17:10.980><c> all.</c>

00:17:11.980 --> 00:17:13.559
Try<00:17:12.059><c> to</c><00:17:12.319><c> interpret</c><00:17:12.660><c> what</c><00:17:12.920><c> Peter</c><00:17:13.140><c> is</c><00:17:13.400><c> saying.</c>

00:17:14.799 --> 00:17:15.440
Yes.

00:17:16.940 --> 00:17:18.640
Alright,<00:17:17.339><c> it's</c><00:17:17.519><c> talking</c><00:17:17.779><c> about</c><00:17:18.099><c> change.</c>

00:17:18.900 --> 00:17:20.440
That's<00:17:19.359><c> clear</c><00:17:19.579><c> enough.</c>

00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:23.619
It's<00:17:20.740><c> talking</c><00:17:20.960><c> about</c><00:17:21.240><c> change</c><00:17:21.599><c> because</c><00:17:21.779><c> it</c><00:17:21.980><c> says</c><00:17:22.160><c> being</c><00:17:22.420><c> born</c><00:17:22.700><c> again.</c>

00:17:24.160 --> 00:17:27.000
That's<00:17:24.500><c> an</c><00:17:24.720><c> expression</c><00:17:25.099><c> that</c><00:17:25.420><c> clearly</c><00:17:25.680><c> means</c><00:17:26.059><c> to</c><00:17:26.299><c> have</c><00:17:26.420><c> a</c><00:17:26.660><c> change.</c>

00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:28.799
You're<00:17:27.839><c> supposed</c><00:17:28.019><c> to</c><00:17:28.180><c> be</c><00:17:28.319><c> born</c><00:17:28.500><c> again.</c>

00:17:28.940 --> 00:17:30.180
I'm<00:17:29.279><c> supposed</c><00:17:29.480><c> to</c><00:17:29.599><c> be</c><00:17:29.759><c> born</c><00:17:29.880><c> again.</c>

00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:32.500
That<00:17:30.940><c> speaks</c><00:17:31.220><c> of</c><00:17:31.539><c> change.</c>

00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:34.740

00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:37.200

00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:40.900
According<00:17:37.940><c> to</c><00:17:38.279><c> Peter,</c><00:17:38.660><c> what's</c><00:17:38.900><c> the</c><00:17:39.099><c> agency</c><00:17:39.559><c> of</c><00:17:39.740><c> this</c><00:17:40.000><c> change?</c>

Right<00:17:51.839><c> on.</c>

00:17:52.640 --> 00:17:54.880
We'll<00:17:52.759><c> look</c><00:17:52.920><c> at</c><00:17:53.000><c> that</c><00:17:53.259><c> passage</c><00:17:53.599><c> in</c><00:17:53.759><c> just</c><00:17:53.980><c> a</c><00:17:54.160><c> moment.</c>

00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:45.440
All<00:24:44.740><c> of</c><00:24:44.940><c> a</c><00:24:44.940><c> sudden,</c><00:24:45.140><c> you</c><00:24:45.220><c> know,</c>

00:24:46.740 --> 00:24:47.740

you<00:24:52.140><c> know,</c><00:24:52.299><c> the</c><00:24:52.380><c> word</c><00:24:52.539><c> of</c><00:24:52.720><c> God</c><00:24:52.819><c> does</c><00:24:53.019><c> nothing</c><00:24:53.279><c> for</c><00:24:53.539><c> me.</c>

00:24:54.420 --> 00:24:56.420

00:24:59.140 --> 00:25:01.720
But<00:24:59.259><c> it</c><00:24:59.460><c> doesn't</c><00:24:59.779><c> do</c><00:25:00.000><c> anything</c><00:25:00.339><c> for</c><00:25:00.720><c> me.</c>

00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:02.640
Right.

00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:04.259
It<00:25:02.960><c> doesn't</c><00:25:03.240><c> do</c><00:25:03.460><c> anything</c><00:25:03.779><c> for</c><00:25:04.119><c> you.</c>

Dead<00:25:04.500><c> on.</c>

Really<00:25:07.640><c> cooperate,</c><00:25:08.079><c> I</c><00:25:08.380><c> mean.</c>

00:25:09.619 --> 00:25:11.220

That's<00:25:13.440><c> the</c><00:25:13.700><c> power.</c>

00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:16.799
You're<00:25:15.279><c> simply</c><00:25:15.619><c> the</c><00:25:15.859><c> one</c><00:25:16.059><c> who</c><00:25:16.279><c> receives.</c>

00:25:16.799 --> 00:25:19.160

00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:21.380
Are<00:25:19.359><c> you</c><00:25:19.539><c> doing</c><00:25:19.759><c> your</c><00:25:20.140><c> best</c><00:25:20.359><c> with</c><00:25:20.599><c> God's</c><00:25:21.140><c> help</c>

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:27.460
Look,<00:25:25.200><c> the</c><00:25:25.380><c> Bible's</c><00:25:25.900><c> not</c><00:25:26.160><c> simply</c><00:25:26.579><c> saying</c><00:25:27.000><c> to</c><00:25:27.299><c> you</c>

Are<00:25:38.839><c> you</c><00:25:39.019><c> weak?</c><00:25:39.920><c> I</c><00:25:40.240><c> am.</c>

00:25:41.019 --> 00:25:42.619
Do<00:25:41.160><c> you</c><00:25:41.200><c> have</c><00:25:41.460><c> problems</c><00:25:41.759><c> with</c><00:25:42.019><c> self</c><00:25:42.220><c>-control?</c>

Thank<00:26:19.160><c> you.</c>

00:26:20.859 --> 00:26:22.380

00:26:43.019 --> 00:26:44.720
You<00:26:43.500><c> must</c><00:26:43.720><c> have</c><00:26:43.880><c> a</c><00:26:43.940><c> guilty</c><00:26:44.180><c> conscience.</c>

00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:46.240
You<00:26:45.079><c> didn't</c><00:26:45.220><c> even</c><00:26:45.420><c> yawn.</c>

00:26:46.759 --> 00:26:48.180
I<00:26:46.880><c> was</c><00:26:46.980><c> looking</c><00:26:47.119><c> at</c><00:26:47.220><c> somebody</c><00:26:47.460><c> else</c><00:26:47.660><c> down</c><00:26:47.859><c> below</c><00:26:48.059><c> here.</c>

00:26:48.180 --> 00:26:48.799
That's<00:26:48.440><c> great.</c>

00:26:49.180 --> 00:26:50.859
Look<00:26:49.279><c> at</c><00:26:49.400><c> that</c><00:26:49.500><c> last</c><00:26:49.779><c> phrase.</c>

00:26:54.099 --> 00:26:55.240
But<00:26:54.160><c> as</c><00:26:54.440><c> it</c><00:26:54.559><c> is</c><00:26:54.759><c> in</c><00:26:55.039><c> truth,</c>

00:27:32.779 --> 00:27:33.980

00:27:52.019 --> 00:27:54.079
powerfully,<00:27:53.519><c> it</c><00:27:53.720><c> means</c>

with<00:27:54.440><c> dynamism,</c>

00:27:55.980 --> 00:27:57.920

00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:01.599
Now<00:28:00.059><c> here's</c><00:28:00.279><c> the</c><00:28:00.519><c> qualifier.</c>

00:28:02.059 --> 00:28:03.940
In<00:28:02.619><c> you</c><00:28:02.779><c> that</c><00:28:03.079><c> believe.</c>

00:28:04.500 --> 00:28:06.319
How<00:28:05.099><c> do</c><00:28:05.279><c> you</c><00:28:05.319><c> believe?</c>

00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:08.119
You<00:28:07.140><c> take</c><00:28:07.460><c> time</c>

00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:10.160
if<00:28:08.500><c> you</c><00:28:08.619><c> want</c><00:28:08.759><c> to</c><00:28:08.940><c> cultivate</c><00:28:09.359><c> faith.</c>

00:28:10.259 --> 00:28:11.720
You<00:28:10.819><c> take</c><00:28:10.900><c> time</c><00:28:11.200><c> to</c><00:28:11.400><c> listen</c>

00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:13.019

00:28:13.660 --> 00:28:15.420
You<00:28:13.859><c> pray</c><00:28:14.099><c> about</c><00:28:14.359><c> it.</c>

00:28:15.660 --> 00:28:17.519
You<00:28:15.900><c> put</c><00:28:16.339><c> yourself</c><00:28:16.839><c> in</c><00:28:17.220><c> company</c>

00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:19.279
that's<00:28:17.799><c> going</c><00:28:17.960><c> to</c><00:28:18.180><c> help</c><00:28:18.400><c> you.</c>

00:28:20.400 --> 00:28:21.599
You<00:28:20.740><c> stay</c><00:28:21.279><c> with</c>

00:28:21.599 --> 00:28:23.460
people<00:28:22.140><c> as</c><00:28:22.440><c> much</c><00:28:22.680><c> as</c><00:28:22.960><c> possible</c>

00:28:23.460 --> 00:28:26.160
who<00:28:23.839><c> are</c><00:28:24.000><c> going</c><00:28:24.099><c> to</c><00:28:24.180><c> be</c><00:28:24.359><c> a</c><00:28:24.480><c> source</c><00:28:24.740><c> of</c><00:28:25.059><c> encouragement.</c>

00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:27.539
Faith

00:28:27.539 --> 00:28:29.019
takes<00:28:28.000><c> time.</c>

00:28:29.480 --> 00:28:31.180
You<00:28:29.700><c> don't</c><00:28:29.859><c> wake</c><00:28:30.099><c> up</c><00:28:30.319><c> some</c><00:28:30.480><c> morning</c><00:28:30.720><c> and</c><00:28:30.940><c> say,</c>

00:28:31.180 --> 00:28:33.200
ah,<00:28:31.599><c> now</c><00:28:31.859><c> I've</c><00:28:32.039><c> got</c><00:28:32.180><c> it.</c><00:28:32.559><c> I've</c><00:28:32.759><c> got</c><00:28:32.940><c> faith.</c>

00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:35.019
I<00:28:33.380><c> can</c><00:28:33.640><c> feel</c><00:28:33.779><c> it</c><00:28:33.900><c> within</c><00:28:34.000><c> my</c><00:28:34.240><c> bones.</c>

00:28:35.160 --> 00:28:37.119
That's<00:28:35.420><c> not</c><00:28:35.599><c> how</c><00:28:35.799><c> faith</c><00:28:36.019><c> works.</c>

00:28:37.539 --> 00:28:39.000
Faith<00:28:37.799><c> grows.</c>

00:28:39.220 --> 00:28:41.099
Faith<00:28:39.500><c> takes</c><00:28:39.900><c> time.</c>

00:28:41.420 --> 00:28:43.759
But<00:28:41.519><c> it</c><00:28:41.640><c> takes</c><00:28:41.940><c> persistence</c><00:28:42.480><c> on</c><00:28:42.720><c> your</c><00:28:43.000><c> part.</c>

00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:45.500
That's<00:28:44.259><c> part</c><00:28:44.460><c> of</c><00:28:44.619><c> the</c><00:28:44.779><c> letting.</c>

00:28:46.119 --> 00:28:47.299
Abraham<00:28:46.519><c> is</c><00:28:46.720><c> a</c><00:28:46.980><c> classic</c>

00:28:49.579 --> 00:28:50.960
whole<00:28:49.839><c> existence</c><00:28:50.319><c> in</c><00:28:50.579><c> Genesis.</c>

00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:53.339
The<00:28:51.660><c> man</c><00:28:51.900><c> grows</c><00:28:52.279><c> in</c><00:28:52.579><c> faith.</c>

00:28:53.380 --> 00:28:55.200
When<00:28:53.539><c> Abraham</c><00:28:53.960><c> offered</c><00:28:54.440><c> Isaac,</c><00:28:54.940><c> it</c><00:28:55.059><c> was</c>

00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:57.420
at<00:28:55.380><c> the</c><00:28:55.480><c> end</c><00:28:55.599><c> of</c><00:28:55.720><c> his</c><00:28:55.900><c> life,</c><00:28:56.140><c> the</c><00:28:56.299><c> great</c><00:28:56.559><c> test</c><00:28:56.819><c> of</c><00:28:56.980><c> his</c><00:28:57.180><c> faith.</c>

00:28:57.900 --> 00:28:59.319
When<00:28:58.119><c> Samson</c><00:28:58.579><c> shook</c><00:28:58.839><c> the</c><00:28:59.099><c> pillars</c>

00:28:59.319 --> 00:29:00.900
and<00:28:59.500><c> brought</c><00:28:59.779><c> down</c><00:29:00.059><c> the</c><00:29:00.180><c> whole</c><00:29:00.480><c> palace,</c>

00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:03.240
that<00:29:01.500><c> was</c><00:29:01.660><c> at</c><00:29:01.839><c> the</c><00:29:01.880><c> end</c><00:29:02.039><c> of</c><00:29:02.140><c> his</c><00:29:02.299><c> life.</c>

00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:04.740
These<00:29:03.660><c> men</c><00:29:03.900><c> grew</c><00:29:04.160><c> in</c><00:29:04.440><c> faith.</c>

00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:07.279
But<00:29:05.339><c> they</c><00:29:05.420><c> made</c><00:29:05.599><c> mistakes</c><00:29:06.019><c> along</c><00:29:06.299><c> the</c><00:29:06.440><c> way.</c>

00:29:07.859 --> 00:29:09.240
So<00:29:08.160><c> the</c><00:29:08.400><c> word</c><00:29:08.619><c> of</c><00:29:08.900><c> God</c>

00:29:09.240 --> 00:29:11.619
is<00:29:09.700><c> a</c><00:29:09.960><c> source</c><00:29:10.279><c> of</c><00:29:10.579><c> dynamic</c><00:29:11.079><c> power</c>

00:29:11.619 --> 00:29:13.980
to<00:29:11.980><c> help</c><00:29:12.160><c> you</c><00:29:12.500><c> overcome</c><00:29:12.880><c> yourself.</c>

00:29:14.220 --> 00:29:15.319
It<00:29:14.339><c> is</c><00:29:14.559><c> the</c><00:29:14.839><c> agency</c>

00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:17.420
for<00:29:15.740><c> change.</c><00:29:16.859><c> It's</c><00:29:17.099><c> the</c>

00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:21.000
inside<00:29:20.220><c> yourself</c>

00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:23.460
that<00:29:21.740><c> you</c><00:29:22.039><c> need</c><00:29:22.500><c> to</c><00:29:23.059><c> give</c><00:29:23.200><c> you</c>

00:29:25.960 --> 00:29:27.500
Let's<00:29:26.099><c> go</c><00:29:26.240><c> back</c><00:29:26.400><c> to</c><00:29:26.579><c> Proverbs.</c>

00:29:27.500 --> 00:29:31.420
Chapter<00:29:28.799><c> 16</c><00:29:29.359><c> of</c><00:29:29.700><c> Proverbs.</c>

00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:34.099
That's<00:29:32.640><c> a</c><00:29:32.779><c> digression,</c><00:29:33.279><c> but</c><00:29:33.440><c> it's</c><00:29:33.579><c> an</c><00:29:33.819><c> important</c>

00:29:34.099 --> 00:29:35.279
digression.

00:29:37.660 --> 00:29:39.359
Some<00:29:37.859><c> other</c><00:29:38.160><c> applications</c>

00:29:41.740 --> 00:29:43.960

00:36:01.340 --> 00:36:02.639
Decided<00:36:01.800><c> also</c><00:36:02.219><c> that</c><00:36:02.340><c> they</c><00:36:02.460><c> would</c>

00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:04.400
take<00:36:02.820><c> the</c><00:36:03.019><c> keys</c><00:36:03.199><c> and</c><00:36:03.400><c> drive</c><00:36:03.699><c> the</c>

00:36:06.260 --> 00:36:08.440
In<00:36:06.460><c> a</c><00:36:06.659><c> half</c><00:36:06.840><c> inebriated</c><00:36:07.519><c> state.</c>

00:36:08.940 --> 00:36:10.860
And<00:36:09.179><c> who</c><00:36:09.300><c> in</c><00:36:09.400><c> the</c><00:36:09.599><c> process</c>

00:36:13.340 --> 00:36:14.739
If<00:36:13.519><c> they</c><00:36:13.719><c> came</c><00:36:13.980><c> in</c><00:36:14.260><c> here</c>

00:36:14.739 --> 00:36:16.619
I'm<00:36:15.599><c> sure</c><00:36:15.840><c> they</c><00:36:16.000><c> would</c><00:36:16.179><c> agree.</c>

00:36:16.820 --> 00:36:18.360
They<00:36:17.179><c> wish</c><00:36:17.519><c> they</c><00:36:17.719><c> had</c><00:36:17.980><c> said</c>

00:36:18.360 --> 00:36:19.619
no.

00:36:20.139 --> 00:36:21.900
That's<00:36:20.380><c> what</c><00:36:20.559><c> Proverbs</c><00:36:20.940><c> is</c><00:36:21.159><c> saying.</c>

00:36:22.320 --> 00:36:23.820
If<00:36:22.559><c> sinners</c><00:36:22.820><c> entice</c><00:36:23.480><c> thee</c>

00:36:23.820 --> 00:36:25.579

00:36:25.579 --> 00:36:28.000
and<00:36:25.840><c> then</c><00:36:26.099><c> think</c><00:36:26.340><c> you'll</c><00:36:26.539><c> say</c><00:36:26.800><c> no.</c>

00:36:28.059 --> 00:36:29.420
Proverbs<00:36:28.699><c> is</c><00:36:28.800><c> saying</c>

00:36:29.420 --> 00:36:31.500
don't<00:36:30.079><c> go</c><00:36:30.460><c> period.</c>

00:36:32.659 --> 00:36:34.059
You<00:36:32.960><c> can</c><00:36:33.260><c> say</c><00:36:33.579><c> no.</c>

00:36:34.320 --> 00:36:36.440
Two<00:36:34.639><c> words.</c><00:36:35.500><c> No.</c>

00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:37.940
Don't<00:36:37.320><c> be</c><00:36:37.539><c> afraid</c><00:36:37.780><c> of</c>

00:36:37.940 --> 00:36:39.300
those<00:36:38.099><c> two</c><00:36:38.320><c> words.</c>

00:36:39.659 --> 00:36:41.079
God's<00:36:40.119><c> counsel</c><00:36:40.440><c> is</c>

00:36:41.079 --> 00:36:43.820
self<00:36:41.480><c> control</c><00:36:42.059><c> begins</c><00:36:42.619><c> with</c><00:36:42.920><c> those</c><00:36:43.280><c> two</c><00:36:43.519><c> words</c>

00:36:43.820 --> 00:36:45.380
or<00:36:44.159><c> those</c><00:36:44.380><c> two</c><00:36:44.559><c> letters.</c>

00:36:46.099 --> 00:36:47.019
No.

00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:49.920
Most<00:36:49.039><c> of</c><00:36:49.219><c> us</c><00:36:49.519><c> have</c><00:36:49.760><c> a</c>

00:36:49.920 --> 00:36:51.599
tendency<00:36:50.260><c> in</c><00:36:50.440><c> ourselves</c><00:36:50.980><c> to</c>

00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:53.519
perhaps<00:36:52.039><c> rationalize.</c>

00:36:53.619 --> 00:36:55.340
We<00:36:53.780><c> have</c><00:36:53.980><c> a</c><00:36:54.139><c> tendency</c><00:36:54.420><c> to</c><00:36:54.639><c> say</c><00:36:54.780><c> to</c><00:36:54.940><c> ourselves</c>

00:36:55.340 --> 00:36:58.239
I'll<00:36:55.699><c> go</c><00:36:56.019><c> and</c><00:36:56.199><c> then</c><00:36:56.300><c> I'll</c><00:36:56.460><c> keep</c><00:36:56.719><c> self</c><00:36:57.019><c> control.</c>

00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:00.139
Young<00:36:59.619><c> people</c>

00:37:00.139 --> 00:37:01.599

00:37:14.320 --> 00:37:15.860
It's<00:37:14.679><c> no</c><00:37:14.880><c> mystery.</c>

00:37:15.920 --> 00:37:17.780
It's<00:37:16.639><c> the</c><00:37:16.780><c> word</c><00:37:16.880><c> of</c><00:37:17.139><c> God</c>

00:37:17.780 --> 00:37:19.619
