00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.339
So<00:07:46.639><c> it</c><00:07:46.699><c> doesn't</c><00:07:47.040><c> stem</c><00:07:47.420><c> from</c><00:07:47.959><c> whatever</c><00:07:48.319><c> circumstances</c><00:07:49.060><c> happen</c>

00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.660
Or<00:07:55.680><c> because</c><00:07:55.879><c> we</c><00:07:56.259><c> are</c><00:07:56.699><c> having</c><00:07:56.939><c> some</c><00:07:57.540><c> trial</c><00:07:57.860><c> within</c><00:07:58.100><c> the</c><00:07:58.339><c> family.</c>

00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:12.600
It's<00:08:05.439><c> that</c><00:08:06.180><c> refuge</c><00:08:06.720><c> to</c><00:08:06.939><c> which</c><00:08:07.100><c> we</c><00:08:07.480><c> go</c><00:08:08.019><c> that</c><00:08:09.220><c> all</c><00:08:10.040><c> is</c><00:08:11.019><c> well</c><00:08:11.540><c> because</c><00:08:12.240><c> we</c>

And<00:15:31.159><c> he</c><00:15:31.580><c> opened</c><00:15:31.899><c> his</c><00:15:32.179><c> mouth</c><00:15:33.059><c> and</c><00:15:35.019><c> taught</c><00:15:35.340><c> them</c><00:15:36.100><c> saying.</c>

00:15:38.820 --> 00:15:40.539
Well<00:15:38.919><c> there's</c><00:15:39.039><c> no</c><00:15:39.159><c> other</c><00:15:39.299><c> way</c><00:15:39.379><c> you</c><00:15:39.539><c> can</c><00:15:39.779><c> teach,</c><00:15:40.240><c> is</c><00:15:40.240><c> there?</c>

00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:43.139
Except<00:15:41.059><c> by</c><00:15:41.460><c> opening</c><00:15:41.740><c> your</c><00:15:42.000><c> mouth.</c>

00:15:45.179 --> 00:15:47.639
If<00:15:45.700><c> you</c><00:15:45.799><c> want</c><00:15:45.919><c> to</c><00:15:46.200><c> speak</c><00:15:46.379><c> you</c><00:15:46.480><c> have</c><00:15:46.659><c> to</c><00:15:46.820><c> open</c><00:15:46.980><c> your</c><00:15:47.120><c> mouth.</c>

00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:50.000
And<00:15:48.399><c> why</c><00:15:48.559><c> does</c><00:15:48.659><c> it</c><00:15:48.779><c> say</c><00:15:48.980><c> that?</c>

00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:52.799
It's<00:15:50.919><c> not</c><00:15:51.200><c> saying</c><00:15:51.480><c> that.</c>

00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:55.820
That's<00:15:53.580><c> to</c><00:15:53.720><c> read</c><00:15:53.840><c> the</c><00:15:54.039><c> scripture</c><00:15:54.279><c> at</c><00:15:54.399><c> the</c><00:15:54.580><c> wrong</c><00:15:54.759><c> level.</c>

00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:58.840
The<00:15:56.879><c> Lord</c><00:15:57.019><c> doesn't</c><00:15:57.320><c> say</c><00:15:57.639><c> trite</c><00:15:58.080><c> things</c><00:15:58.419><c> like</c><00:15:58.740><c> that.</c>

00:15:58.860 --> 00:16:01.179
There's<00:15:59.000><c> no</c><00:15:59.320><c> padding</c><00:15:59.700><c> in</c><00:16:00.000><c> scripture.</c>

00:16:03.259 --> 00:16:06.480
What<00:16:03.379><c> he's</c><00:16:03.720><c> telling</c><00:16:03.860><c> us</c><00:16:04.159><c> is</c><00:16:04.299><c> and</c><00:16:04.399><c> you'll</c><00:16:04.679><c> find</c><00:16:04.779><c> it</c><00:16:05.019><c> in</c><00:16:05.220><c> Acts</c><00:16:05.460><c> chapter</c><00:16:05.759><c> 2</c>

00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:08.559
in<00:16:07.059><c> the</c><00:16:07.259><c> same</c><00:16:07.440><c> way.</c>

00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:14.399
This<00:16:08.960><c> opening</c><00:16:09.340><c> of</c><00:16:09.559><c> the</c><00:16:09.820><c> mouth</c><00:16:10.539><c> was</c><00:16:11.500><c> to</c><00:16:11.720><c> allow</c><00:16:12.019><c> God</c><00:16:12.600><c> to</c><00:16:13.279><c> speak.</c>

00:16:15.139 --> 00:16:18.259
These<00:16:15.700><c> were</c><00:16:15.980><c> inspired</c><00:16:16.799><c> words.</c>

00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:21.580
The<00:16:18.600><c> words</c><00:16:18.899><c> I</c><00:16:19.200><c> give</c><00:16:19.340><c> you</c><00:16:19.440><c> are</c><00:16:19.600><c> the</c><00:16:19.700><c> words</c><00:16:19.879><c> of</c><00:16:20.080><c> my</c><00:16:20.340><c> Father.</c>

00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:24.679
He<00:16:22.559><c> opened</c><00:16:23.120><c> his</c><00:16:23.419><c> mouth.</c>

00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:30.419
And<00:16:25.559><c> what</c><00:16:25.759><c> came</c><00:16:26.080><c> forth</c><00:16:26.639><c> was</c><00:16:27.500><c> not</c><00:16:27.740><c> the</c><00:16:27.840><c> word</c><00:16:28.019><c> of</c><00:16:28.279><c> Christ</c><00:16:28.700><c> but</c><00:16:28.919><c> the</c><00:16:29.019><c> word</c><00:16:29.179><c> of</c><00:16:29.440><c> God.</c>

00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:32.200
It<00:16:30.580><c> was</c><00:16:30.740><c> an</c><00:16:30.980><c> inspired</c><00:16:31.519><c> utterance.</c>

00:16:32.620 --> 00:16:34.639
This<00:16:32.820><c> is</c><00:16:32.940><c> what</c><00:16:33.220><c> God</c><00:16:33.620><c> wanted</c><00:16:33.960><c> to</c><00:16:34.279><c> say.</c>

00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:38.620
And<00:16:35.120><c> He</c><00:16:35.220><c> was</c><00:16:35.500><c> saying</c><00:16:35.740><c> it</c><00:16:36.279><c> through</c><00:16:36.620><c> His</c><00:16:37.080><c> beloved</c><00:16:37.539><c> Son.</c>

00:16:38.980 --> 00:16:40.519
So<00:16:39.259><c> we</c><00:16:39.379><c> have</c><00:16:39.559><c> inspiration</c><00:16:40.139><c> here.</c>

00:16:40.679 --> 00:16:42.919
And<00:16:40.940><c> that's</c><00:16:41.159><c> why</c><00:16:41.320><c> we</c><00:16:41.440><c> have</c><00:16:41.620><c> the</c><00:16:41.779><c> links</c><00:16:41.940><c> with</c><00:16:42.159><c> the</c><00:16:42.299><c> Old</c><00:16:42.480><c> Testament.</c>

00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:46.600
It's<00:16:43.559><c> the</c><00:16:43.720><c> same</c><00:16:43.919><c> God</c><00:16:44.159><c> who</c><00:16:45.200><c> gave</c><00:16:45.399><c> those</c><00:16:45.799><c> verses</c><00:16:46.100><c> we</c><00:16:46.320><c> had</c><00:16:46.480><c> read</c>

00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:47.500
in<00:16:46.779><c> the</c><00:16:46.919><c> Old</c><00:16:47.080><c> Testament</c>

00:16:47.500 --> 00:16:50.580
who<00:16:47.879><c> now</c><00:16:48.220><c> speaks</c><00:16:48.500><c> through</c><00:16:48.779><c> Christ</c><00:16:49.399><c> by</c><00:16:49.820><c> His</c><00:16:50.080><c> Spirit</c>

00:16:50.580 --> 00:16:56.059
which<00:16:51.379><c> came</c><00:16:51.639><c> on</c><00:16:51.940><c> Christ</c><00:16:52.659><c> in</c><00:16:54.259><c> unmeasurable</c><00:16:55.120><c> abundance.</c>

00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:59.759
You<00:16:56.759><c> remember</c><00:16:57.179><c> at</c><00:16:57.580><c> the</c><00:16:57.740><c> time</c><00:16:57.960><c> of</c><00:16:58.159><c> His</c><00:16:58.659><c> baptism.</c>

00:17:00.539 --> 00:17:03.539
What<00:17:01.059><c> do</c><00:17:01.220><c> you</c><00:17:01.360><c> think</c><00:17:01.519><c> of</c><00:17:01.659><c> that</c><00:17:01.879><c> word</c><00:17:02.139><c> poor</c><00:17:02.500><c> then?</c>

00:17:04.859 --> 00:17:06.279
We've<00:17:05.220><c> had</c><00:17:05.319><c> a</c><00:17:05.359><c> look</c><00:17:05.460><c> at</c><00:17:05.579><c> the</c><00:17:05.700><c> word</c><00:17:05.900><c> blessed</c>

00:17:06.279 --> 00:17:09.299
but<00:17:06.460><c> what</c><00:17:06.759><c> do</c><00:17:06.880><c> you</c><00:17:07.000><c> think</c><00:17:07.140><c> about</c><00:17:07.480><c> the</c><00:17:07.740><c> word</c><00:17:08.259><c> poor?</c>

00:17:09.900 --> 00:17:11.319
What's<00:17:10.279><c> it</c><00:17:10.440><c> mean?</c>

00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:19.400
Because<00:17:14.359><c> if</c><00:17:14.859><c> it's</c><00:17:15.380><c> in</c><00:17:15.660><c> the</c><00:17:15.940><c> ordinary</c><00:17:16.619><c> welfare</c><00:17:17.299><c> sense</c><00:17:17.859><c> of</c><00:17:18.299><c> poor</c>

00:18:54.599 --> 00:18:57.819
That's<00:18:55.019><c> the</c><00:18:55.539><c> basic</c><00:18:56.059><c> meaning</c><00:18:56.400><c> of</c><00:18:56.640><c> the</c><00:18:56.819><c> word.</c>

00:19:06.099 --> 00:19:10.200
And<00:19:06.380><c> consequently</c><00:19:06.799><c> it</c><00:19:07.099><c> means</c><00:19:07.980><c> afflicted</c>

00:22:22.940 --> 00:22:25.559
It's<00:22:23.380><c> a</c><00:22:23.619><c> very</c><00:22:23.940><c> beautiful</c><00:22:24.380><c> thing.</c>

00:22:47.579 --> 00:22:51.640
It's<00:22:47.819><c> a</c><00:22:47.880><c> pity</c><00:22:48.039><c> you</c><00:22:48.180><c> weren't</c><00:22:48.359><c> at</c><00:22:48.519><c> the</c><00:22:48.640><c> wedding</c><00:22:48.900><c> on</c><00:22:50.380><c> Saturday</c>

00:22:58.220 --> 00:23:01.160
There<00:22:58.559><c> were</c><00:22:58.799><c> all</c><00:22:59.160><c> kinds</c><00:22:59.460><c> of</c><00:22:59.680><c> spiritual</c><00:23:00.079><c> thoughts</c><00:23:00.460><c> at</c><00:23:00.640><c> that</c><00:23:00.839><c> wedding.</c>

00:23:01.160 --> 00:23:04.140
It<00:23:02.279><c> was</c><00:23:02.559><c> a</c><00:23:02.640><c> fraternal</c><00:23:03.019><c> gathering</c><00:23:03.359><c> really.</c>

00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:06.380
What<00:23:05.119><c> I</c><00:23:05.319><c> think</c><00:23:05.519><c> of</c><00:23:05.740><c> American</c><00:23:06.079><c> weddings</c>

00:23:06.380 --> 00:23:08.660

00:23:08.660 --> 00:23:11.299
that<00:23:09.559><c> everybody</c><00:23:10.119><c> is</c><00:23:10.599><c> overdressed</c>

00:23:11.299 --> 00:23:13.220
and<00:23:11.500><c> it's</c><00:23:11.859><c> all</c><00:23:12.480><c> overdone</c>

00:23:13.220 --> 00:23:15.500
and<00:23:13.700><c> Christ</c><00:23:14.180><c> is</c><00:23:14.420><c> on</c><00:23:14.640><c> the</c><00:23:15.000><c> back</c><00:23:15.319><c> row.</c>

00:23:15.539 --> 00:23:17.039
That's<00:23:15.799><c> what</c><00:23:15.799><c> I</c><00:23:15.920><c> think</c><00:23:16.039><c> about</c><00:23:16.259><c> American</c><00:23:16.660><c> weddings</c>

00:23:17.039 --> 00:23:19.259
because<00:23:17.500><c> there</c><00:23:17.839><c> is</c><00:23:18.079><c> so</c><00:23:18.400><c> much</c><00:23:18.720><c> frippery.</c>

00:23:19.660 --> 00:23:21.720
Really<00:23:19.900><c> it's</c><00:23:20.380><c> unbelievable.</c>

00:23:22.619 --> 00:23:24.259
And<00:23:23.299><c> that</c><00:23:23.539><c> shouldn't</c><00:23:23.900><c> be.</c>

00:23:24.299 --> 00:23:26.480
It<00:23:24.460><c> should</c><00:23:24.640><c> be</c><00:23:25.019><c> of</c><00:23:25.160><c> a</c><00:23:25.299><c> more</c><00:23:25.640><c> modest</c><00:23:26.140><c> kind</c>

00:23:26.819 --> 00:23:28.519
of<00:23:27.380><c> tremendous</c><00:23:28.039><c> happiness</c>

00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:30.619
but<00:23:29.200><c> far</c><00:23:29.500><c> more</c><00:23:29.940><c> modest</c><00:23:30.220><c> in</c><00:23:30.440><c> behavior.</c>

00:23:30.619 --> 00:23:31.700
That's<00:23:30.980><c> my</c><00:23:31.160><c> own</c><00:23:31.400><c> view.</c>

00:23:32.140 --> 00:23:33.460
You<00:23:32.160><c> may</c><00:23:32.339><c> think</c><00:23:32.500><c> I'm</c><00:23:32.839><c> eccentric.</c>

00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:36.500
Well,<00:23:34.420><c> that's</c><00:23:35.019><c> where</c><00:23:35.220><c> I</c><00:23:35.380><c> am</c><00:23:35.559><c> eccentric.</c>

But<00:23:37.140><c> this</c><00:23:38.339><c> was</c><00:23:38.740><c> such</c><00:23:39.460><c> a</c><00:23:39.839><c> wonderful</c><00:23:40.680><c> spiritual</c><00:23:41.519><c> gathering.</c>

00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:02.980
You<00:24:01.579><c> remember</c><00:24:01.779><c> the</c><00:24:02.019><c> expression?</c>

His<00:25:32.880><c> ear</c><00:25:33.180><c> was</c><00:25:33.539><c> marked</c><00:25:34.059><c> as</c><00:25:34.539><c> by</c><00:25:34.759><c> the</c><00:25:35.019><c> All</c>

00:25:58.480 --> 00:26:01.740

00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:46.400
It<00:26:44.440><c> works</c><00:26:44.940><c> if</c><00:26:45.160><c> we</c><00:26:45.339><c> listen.</c>

00:26:50.420 --> 00:26:52.980
So<00:26:50.559><c> that</c><00:26:50.660><c> when</c><00:26:50.980><c> He</c><00:26:51.220><c> was</c><00:26:51.579><c> stripped</c><00:26:51.880><c> to</c><00:26:52.259><c> be</c><00:26:52.480><c> beaten</c>

His<00:27:41.960><c> greatest</c><00:27:42.660><c> affliction</c>

00:27:43.779 --> 00:27:47.900
was<00:27:44.559><c> the</c><00:27:44.819><c> affliction</c><00:27:45.259><c> that</c><00:27:45.539><c> came</c><00:27:45.799><c> by</c><00:27:46.059><c> the</c><00:27:46.240><c> Word</c><00:27:46.420><c> of</c><00:27:46.640><c> God.</c>

00:27:48.940 --> 00:27:51.200
Not<00:27:49.160><c> by</c><00:27:49.400><c> those</c><00:27:49.619><c> who</c><00:27:50.359><c> beat</c><00:27:50.599><c> Him</c>

00:27:51.200 --> 00:27:54.140
but<00:27:51.779><c> by</c><00:27:52.059><c> the</c><00:27:52.240><c> Word</c><00:27:52.400><c> of</c><00:27:52.579><c> God</c><00:27:52.839><c> working</c><00:27:53.140><c> on</c><00:27:53.319><c> His</c><00:27:53.519><c> mind.</c>

00:27:54.500 --> 00:27:58.779
So<00:27:54.839><c> there's</c><00:27:55.380><c> the</c><00:27:55.779><c> Old</c><00:27:56.059><c> Testament</c><00:27:56.619><c> idea</c><00:27:57.220><c> of</c><00:27:57.700><c> the</c><00:27:57.920><c> Word.</c>

00:27:59.160 --> 00:27:59.920
Now<00:27:59.359><c> interestingly</c><00:27:59.660><c> enough</c>

00:27:59.920 --> 00:28:03.220
the<00:28:00.099><c> New</c><00:28:00.299><c> Testament</c><00:28:00.640><c> idea</c><00:28:01.180><c> carries</c><00:28:01.660><c> it</c><00:28:02.119><c> further.</c>

00:28:04.640 --> 00:28:05.900
We<00:28:04.880><c> haven't</c><00:28:05.039><c> got</c><00:28:05.180><c> to</c><00:28:05.299><c> lose</c><00:28:05.500><c> the</c><00:28:05.720><c> other</c>

00:28:05.900 --> 00:28:09.339
but<00:28:06.119><c> the</c><00:28:06.319><c> idea</c><00:28:06.579><c> of</c><00:28:07.519><c> being</c><00:28:08.039><c> poor</c><00:28:08.500><c> in</c><00:28:08.680><c> the</c><00:28:08.759><c> New</c><00:28:08.960><c> Testament</c>

00:28:09.339 --> 00:28:12.460
is<00:28:09.940><c> somewhat</c><00:28:10.380><c> different</c><00:28:10.880><c> from</c><00:28:11.119><c> that.</c>

00:28:13.859 --> 00:28:22.319
It<00:28:14.099><c> suggests</c><00:28:15.160><c> crouching</c><00:28:16.299><c> as</c><00:28:16.539><c> a</c><00:28:16.680><c> beggar,</c><00:28:18.900><c> asking,</c><00:28:21.420><c> needing.</c>

00:28:22.579 --> 00:28:24.640
That's<00:28:23.220><c> what</c><00:28:23.400><c> it's</c><00:28:23.700><c> like.</c>

00:28:26.859 --> 00:28:30.700
So<00:28:27.480><c> the</c><00:28:28.480><c> loneliness</c><00:28:28.859><c> of</c><00:28:29.140><c> the</c><00:28:29.319><c> Old</c><00:28:29.640><c> Testament</c><00:28:30.140><c> then</c>

00:28:30.700 --> 00:28:33.619
is<00:28:31.339><c> now</c><00:28:31.660><c> carried</c><00:28:31.920><c> through</c><00:28:32.279><c> into</c><00:28:32.539><c> the</c><00:28:32.779><c> New.</c>

00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:37.099
But<00:28:34.579><c> here</c><00:28:35.200><c> a</c><00:28:35.759><c> figure</c><00:28:35.880><c> we</c><00:28:36.059><c> could</c><00:28:36.200><c> understand</c><00:28:36.539><c> very</c><00:28:36.859><c> well</c>

00:28:37.099 --> 00:28:38.819
and<00:28:37.259><c> there</c><00:28:37.380><c> were</c><00:28:37.920><c> hundreds</c><00:28:38.259><c> of</c><00:28:38.519><c> them</c>

00:28:38.819 --> 00:28:41.579
in<00:28:39.640><c> all</c><00:28:40.119><c> these</c><00:28:40.420><c> Middle</c><00:28:40.680><c> Eastern</c><00:28:40.940><c> countries.</c>

00:28:41.740 --> 00:28:43.559
They're<00:28:41.940><c> still</c><00:28:42.180><c> around.</c>

00:28:44.180 --> 00:28:46.039
And<00:28:44.599><c> all</c><00:28:44.740><c> the</c><00:28:44.920><c> countries</c><00:28:45.140><c> of</c><00:28:45.299><c> the</c><00:28:45.440><c> Near</c><00:28:45.660><c> East</c>

00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:48.759
they're<00:28:46.420><c> still</c><00:28:46.660><c> around</c><00:28:47.119><c> the</c><00:28:47.519><c> crouching</c><00:28:48.099><c> beggar.</c>

00:28:49.099 --> 00:28:50.859
Well<00:28:49.279><c> that's</c><00:28:49.819><c> the</c><00:28:49.960><c> nature.</c>

00:28:51.460 --> 00:28:52.500
That's<00:28:51.779><c> what</c><00:28:51.900><c> we</c><00:28:52.180><c> are.</c>

00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:56.059
It<00:28:52.960><c> really</c><00:28:53.259><c> means</c><00:28:53.799><c> that</c><00:28:54.240><c> we</c><00:28:54.480><c> are</c><00:28:54.880><c> falling.</c>

00:28:56.779 --> 00:28:58.359
That's<00:28:57.000><c> what</c><00:28:57.059><c> it</c><00:28:57.240><c> means.</c>

00:28:59.920 --> 00:29:02.700
If<00:29:00.680><c> you</c><00:29:00.819><c> want</c><00:29:00.920><c> to</c><00:29:01.019><c> think</c><00:29:01.119><c> of</c><00:29:01.240><c> the</c><00:29:01.319><c> idea</c><00:29:01.539><c> of</c><00:29:02.160><c> failing</c>

00:29:02.700 --> 00:29:05.339
that's<00:29:03.619><c> what</c><00:29:03.819><c> it</c><00:29:04.059><c> means.</c>

00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:10.259
So<00:29:06.619><c> that's</c><00:29:06.900><c> what</c><00:29:06.980><c> we</c><00:29:07.240><c> are</c><00:29:07.900><c> by</c><00:29:08.940><c> nature.</c>

00:29:11.019 --> 00:29:14.259
It's<00:29:11.180><c> what</c><00:29:11.299><c> we</c><00:29:11.559><c> are</c><00:29:11.740><c> by</c><00:29:12.720><c> character.</c>

00:29:17.839 --> 00:29:21.640
And<00:29:18.279><c> we</c><00:29:18.660><c> are</c><00:29:18.880><c> expected</c><00:29:19.480><c> now</c><00:29:19.940><c> in</c><00:29:20.299><c> recognising</c><00:29:20.980><c> that</c>

00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:24.000
to<00:29:22.420><c> come</c><00:29:22.619><c> for</c><00:29:22.880><c> help.</c>

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:28.319
Blessed<00:29:24.720><c> are</c><00:29:24.960><c> the</c><00:29:25.160><c> poor,</c><00:29:25.480><c> happy</c><00:29:25.920><c> are</c><00:29:26.680><c> the</c><00:29:26.880><c> poor</c><00:29:27.019><c> in</c><00:29:27.279><c> spirit.</c>

00:29:29.640 --> 00:29:32.279
And<00:29:29.740><c> it's</c><00:29:30.019><c> in</c><00:29:30.420><c> spirit.</c><00:29:30.839><c> Do</c><00:29:30.980><c> you</c><00:29:31.019><c> notice</c><00:29:31.319><c> that?</c>

00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:34.640
So<00:29:33.259><c> it</c><00:29:33.359><c> is</c><00:29:33.579><c> not</c><00:29:33.759><c> natural</c><00:29:34.160><c> poverty</c>

00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:36.400
but<00:29:34.799><c> that</c><00:29:34.940><c> doesn't</c><00:29:35.140><c> let</c><00:29:35.259><c> us</c><00:29:35.519><c> out</c><00:29:35.839><c> and</c><00:29:36.240><c> say</c>

00:29:36.400 --> 00:29:40.480
therefore<00:29:36.680><c> we</c><00:29:36.779><c> can</c><00:29:36.960><c> go</c><00:29:37.140><c> and</c><00:29:38.500><c> live</c><00:29:38.900><c> in</c><00:29:39.039><c> this</c><00:29:39.299><c> materialistic</c><00:29:39.960><c> world</c>

00:29:40.480 --> 00:29:42.559
and<00:29:40.700><c> take</c><00:29:40.940><c> all</c><00:29:41.119><c> that's</c><00:29:41.539><c> material.</c>

00:29:43.200 --> 00:29:45.259
The<00:29:43.519><c> material</c><00:29:44.000><c> affects</c><00:29:44.440><c> the</c><00:29:44.779><c> spiritual.</c>

00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:47.279
It<00:29:45.819><c> does</c><00:29:46.019><c> it</c><00:29:46.339><c> every</c><00:29:46.799><c> day.</c>

00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:50.319
And<00:29:47.900><c> our</c><00:29:48.079><c> world</c><00:29:48.279><c> is</c><00:29:48.559><c> bombarding</c><00:29:49.359><c> us</c><00:29:49.680><c> constantly</c>

00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:53.440
by<00:29:50.980><c> telling</c><00:29:51.240><c> us</c><00:29:51.619><c> that</c><00:29:51.839><c> we</c><00:29:52.140><c> need</c><00:29:52.539><c> the</c><00:29:52.880><c> material.</c>

00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:57.160
Get<00:29:53.819><c> this,</c><00:29:54.319><c> get</c><00:29:54.660><c> that,</c><00:29:55.259><c> buy</c><00:29:55.460><c> this,</c><00:29:56.119><c> buy</c><00:29:56.319><c> that.</c>

00:29:57.259 --> 00:29:58.680
That's<00:29:57.740><c> old,</c><00:29:57.980><c> this</c><00:29:58.220><c> is</c><00:29:58.440><c> new.</c>

00:29:58.779 --> 00:30:00.259
Take<00:29:59.099><c> this,</c><00:29:59.559><c> take</c><00:29:59.859><c> this.</c>

00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:01.180
This<00:30:00.519><c> is</c><00:30:00.680><c> the</c><00:30:00.920><c> best.</c>

00:30:01.380 --> 00:30:02.680
This<00:30:01.480><c> is</c><00:30:01.579><c> what</c><00:30:01.660><c> you</c><00:30:01.900><c> do</c><00:30:01.980><c> for</c><00:30:02.180><c> your</c><00:30:02.420><c> children.</c>

00:30:02.759 --> 00:30:04.779
Give<00:30:02.920><c> them</c><00:30:03.079><c> the</c><00:30:03.339><c> best,</c><00:30:03.859><c> give</c><00:30:04.019><c> them</c><00:30:04.160><c> the</c><00:30:04.380><c> best.</c>

00:30:05.180 --> 00:30:07.460
Now<00:30:05.380><c> the</c><00:30:05.460><c> Word</c><00:30:05.619><c> of</c><00:30:05.799><c> God</c><00:30:06.000><c> is</c><00:30:07.059><c> telling</c><00:30:07.240><c> us</c>

00:30:07.460 --> 00:30:08.880
that<00:30:07.599><c> that's</c><00:30:07.900><c> the</c><00:30:08.000><c> way</c><00:30:08.180><c> of</c><00:30:08.460><c> danger.</c>

00:30:08.920 --> 00:30:10.059
That's<00:30:09.259><c> the</c><00:30:09.539><c> external.</c>

00:30:10.319 --> 00:30:12.140
That's<00:30:10.680><c> the</c><00:30:10.759><c> way</c><00:30:10.900><c> to</c><00:30:11.200><c> death.</c>

00:30:12.940 --> 00:30:14.299
The<00:30:13.200><c> best</c><00:30:13.460><c> for</c><00:30:13.680><c> our</c><00:30:13.960><c> children</c>

00:30:14.299 --> 00:30:16.859
and<00:30:14.460><c> may</c><00:30:14.640><c> I</c><00:30:14.779><c> say</c><00:30:14.900><c> to</c><00:30:15.079><c> every</c><00:30:15.539><c> parent</c><00:30:15.900><c> here</c>

00:30:17.039 --> 00:30:21.420
the<00:30:17.640><c> best</c><00:30:18.119><c> thing</c><00:30:18.440><c> you</c><00:30:18.599><c> will</c><00:30:18.940><c> ever</c><00:30:19.299><c> do</c><00:30:19.680><c> for</c><00:30:19.940><c> your</c><00:30:20.279><c> child</c>

00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:28.480
is<00:30:22.359><c> to</c><00:30:22.720><c> lead</c><00:30:23.500><c> by</c><00:30:25.900><c> instruction</c><00:30:26.759><c> and</c><00:30:27.299><c> by</c><00:30:27.660><c> example</c>

00:30:28.480 --> 00:30:31.680
your<00:30:29.400><c> child</c><00:30:30.039><c> to</c><00:30:30.380><c> the</c><00:30:30.660><c> truth.</c>

00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:33.660
That's<00:30:32.519><c> the</c><00:30:32.819><c> greatest</c><00:30:33.180><c> thing.</c>

00:30:33.880 --> 00:30:37.740
It<00:30:34.079><c> should</c><00:30:34.200><c> be</c><00:30:34.400><c> the</c><00:30:34.700><c> only</c><00:30:35.059><c> thing</c><00:30:35.319><c> that</c><00:30:35.579><c> every</c><00:30:35.940><c> mother</c><00:30:36.200><c> has</c><00:30:36.480><c> in</c><00:30:36.720><c> mind.</c>

00:30:39.079 --> 00:30:41.519

that<00:33:00.539><c> you've</c><00:33:00.740><c> got</c><00:33:00.980><c> it.</c>

00:33:02.460 --> 00:33:04.660
You've<00:33:02.559><c> got</c><00:33:02.720><c> the</c><00:33:03.000><c> blessedness</c><00:33:03.460><c> of</c><00:33:03.640><c> which</c><00:33:03.779><c> the</c><00:33:03.960><c> Scripture</c><00:33:04.200><c> is</c><00:33:04.480><c> speaking.</c>

00:33:04.740 --> 00:33:06.359
You<00:33:04.900><c> know</c><00:33:05.079><c> what</c><00:33:05.259><c> it</c><00:33:05.480><c> is.</c>

00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:09.019
There<00:33:06.859><c> is</c><00:33:07.240><c> nothing</c><00:33:07.500><c> like</c><00:33:07.900><c> it.</c>

00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:10.819
Absolutely<00:33:09.640><c> nothing</c><00:33:10.079><c> like</c><00:33:10.440><c> it.</c>

00:33:11.299 --> 00:33:14.240
That's<00:33:11.660><c> the</c><00:33:11.839><c> wonder</c><00:33:12.220><c> of</c><00:33:12.779><c> what</c><00:33:12.980><c> God</c><00:33:13.240><c> is</c><00:33:13.480><c> giving</c><00:33:13.599><c> us</c>

00:33:14.240 --> 00:33:16.579
in<00:33:14.720><c> His</c><00:33:15.119><c> Word</c><00:33:15.339><c> of</c><00:33:15.619><c> Truth</c><00:33:15.799><c> and</c><00:33:15.960><c> in</c><00:33:16.079><c> the</c><00:33:16.220><c> example</c>

00:33:16.579 --> 00:33:18.619
of<00:33:16.759><c> the</c><00:33:16.839><c> Lord</c><00:33:17.039><c> Jesus</c><00:33:17.400><c> Christ.</c>

00:33:19.579 --> 00:33:21.339
And<00:33:19.700><c> you</c><00:33:19.799><c> say,</c><00:33:20.019><c> well,</c><00:33:20.259><c> Brother</c><00:33:20.380><c> Harry,</c><00:33:20.539><c> I</c><00:33:20.880><c> know.</c>

00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:23.200
And<00:33:21.940><c> you've</c><00:33:22.200><c> told</c><00:33:22.279><c> us</c><00:33:22.440><c> this</c><00:33:22.640><c> before.</c>

00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:25.839
I<00:33:23.619><c> suppose</c><00:33:23.799><c> I</c><00:33:24.000><c> have</c><00:33:24.160><c> at</c><00:33:24.359><c> some</c><00:33:24.599><c> time</c><00:33:24.759><c> or</c><00:33:25.000><c> another.</c>

00:33:26.140 --> 00:33:28.299
And<00:33:26.480><c> I</c><00:33:26.640><c> can</c><00:33:26.819><c> understand</c><00:33:27.200><c> you</c><00:33:27.440><c> doing</c><00:33:27.660><c> it,</c><00:33:27.839><c> Brother</c><00:33:28.059><c> Harry,</c>

00:33:28.299 --> 00:33:30.299
and<00:33:28.440><c> the</c><00:33:28.500><c> trouble</c><00:33:28.700><c> is</c><00:33:29.180><c> that</c><00:33:29.519><c> I</c><00:33:29.599><c> feel</c><00:33:29.799><c> sometimes</c>

00:33:30.299 --> 00:33:32.440
that<00:33:30.579><c> you</c><00:33:30.740><c> can</c><00:33:30.920><c> do</c><00:33:31.099><c> it</c><00:33:31.299><c> and</c><00:33:31.400><c> I</c><00:33:31.619><c> can't.</c>

00:33:32.619 --> 00:33:34.500
Well,<00:33:32.740><c> that's</c><00:33:32.859><c> not</c><00:33:33.160><c> true.</c>

00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:38.180
That's<00:33:35.559><c> saying</c><00:33:35.859><c> that</c><00:33:36.660><c> in</c><00:33:37.279><c> a</c><00:33:37.420><c> kind</c><00:33:37.559><c> of</c><00:33:37.740><c> way</c>

00:33:38.180 --> 00:33:41.480
that<00:33:38.539><c> we're</c><00:33:39.480><c> different</c><00:33:39.920><c> and</c><00:33:40.019><c> we're</c><00:33:40.200><c> not</c><00:33:40.380><c> different.</c>

00:33:42.740 --> 00:33:46.980
All<00:33:43.299><c> have</c><00:33:43.859><c> sinned</c><00:33:45.359><c> and</c><00:33:45.759><c> fallen</c><00:33:46.180><c> short</c>

00:33:46.980 --> 00:33:49.059
of<00:33:48.039><c> the</c><00:33:48.240><c> glory</c><00:33:48.460><c> of</c><00:33:48.720><c> God.</c>

00:33:49.539 --> 00:33:51.079
And<00:33:49.700><c> there's</c><00:33:49.839><c> nobody</c><00:33:50.079><c> that</c><00:33:50.319><c> hasn't</c><00:33:50.500><c> done</c><00:33:50.740><c> that.</c>

00:33:51.500 --> 00:33:53.299
There's<00:33:51.660><c> no</c><00:33:51.880><c> better</c><00:33:52.180><c> person</c><00:33:52.599><c> around.</c>

00:33:53.339 --> 00:33:54.500
There's<00:33:53.700><c> nobody</c><00:33:54.000><c> at</c><00:33:54.319><c> all.</c>

00:33:54.519 --> 00:33:56.119
He's<00:33:54.799><c> there</c><00:33:55.279><c> with</c><00:33:55.539><c> the</c><00:33:55.759><c> Father,</c>

00:33:56.119 --> 00:33:58.660
the<00:33:56.579><c> better</c><00:33:56.900><c> person,</c><00:33:57.420><c> the</c><00:33:57.640><c> perfect</c><00:33:58.140><c> one,</c>

00:33:58.740 --> 00:34:00.900
and<00:33:59.019><c> He's</c><00:33:59.200><c> our</c><00:33:59.440><c> mediator.</c>

00:34:01.099 --> 00:34:03.339
And<00:34:01.380><c> sympathetically</c><00:34:02.039><c> looking</c><00:34:02.420><c> down</c>

00:34:03.339 --> 00:34:06.759
to<00:34:04.099><c> assist</c><00:34:04.839><c> as</c><00:34:05.140><c> we</c><00:34:05.359><c> go</c><00:34:05.559><c> in</c><00:34:05.859><c> prayer.</c>

00:34:06.980 --> 00:34:09.840
Now,<00:34:07.880><c> you</c><00:34:08.139><c> can</c><00:34:08.480><c> do</c><00:34:08.719><c> it.</c>

00:34:10.000 --> 00:34:13.820
You<00:34:10.559><c> can</c><00:34:11.380><c> do</c><00:34:11.920><c> it</c><00:34:12.780><c> for</c><00:34:13.099><c> this</c><00:34:13.340><c> reason.</c>

00:34:14.179 --> 00:34:15.699
If<00:34:14.360><c> we</c><00:34:14.500><c> say</c><00:34:14.639><c> we</c><00:34:14.840><c> can't</c><00:34:15.219><c> do</c><00:34:15.420><c> it,</c>

00:34:15.739 --> 00:34:21.079
we're<00:34:16.039><c> saying</c><00:34:16.539><c> that</c><00:34:18.639><c> His</c><00:34:18.960><c> life</c><00:34:19.199><c> and</c><00:34:19.360><c> death</c><00:34:19.519><c> were</c><00:34:19.639><c> not</c><00:34:19.840><c> enough.</c>

00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:26.239
That<00:34:24.079><c> He</c><00:34:24.139><c> ought</c><00:34:24.300><c> to</c><00:34:24.380><c> have</c><00:34:24.480><c> been</c><00:34:24.579><c> whipped</c><00:34:24.739><c> a</c><00:34:24.880><c> bit</c><00:34:25.000><c> more.</c>

00:34:27.280 --> 00:34:28.659
Is<00:34:27.400><c> that</c><00:34:27.519><c> what</c><00:34:27.599><c> we're</c><00:34:27.760><c> saying?</c>

00:34:30.699 --> 00:34:32.000
If<00:34:30.860><c> He'd</c><00:34:31.000><c> had</c><00:34:31.059><c> a</c><00:34:31.179><c> few</c><00:34:31.340><c> more</c><00:34:31.619><c> of</c><00:34:31.820><c> those,</c>

00:34:32.039 --> 00:34:34.159
then<00:34:32.320><c> it</c><00:34:32.460><c> might</c><00:34:32.679><c> have</c><00:34:32.800><c> helped</c><00:34:32.980><c> me.</c>

00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:35.940
Is<00:34:34.559><c> that</c><00:34:34.719><c> what</c><00:34:34.820><c> we're</c><00:34:35.019><c> saying?</c>

00:34:36.340 --> 00:34:38.460
This<00:34:36.500><c> is</c><00:34:36.679><c> the</c><00:34:36.800><c> perfect</c><00:34:37.199><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:40.019
He<00:34:38.820><c> can</c><00:34:39.039><c> save</c><00:34:39.239><c> to</c><00:34:39.400><c> the</c><00:34:39.579><c> uttermost</c>

00:34:40.019 --> 00:34:42.320
those<00:34:40.260><c> that</c><00:34:40.460><c> come</c><00:34:40.579><c> unto</c><00:34:40.760><c> God</c><00:34:41.059><c> by</c><00:34:41.380><c> Him.</c>

00:34:42.500 --> 00:34:44.500
There<00:34:42.679><c> is</c><00:34:43.000><c> no</c><00:34:43.360><c> way</c><00:34:43.659><c> in</c><00:34:43.780><c> which</c><00:34:44.019><c> somebody</c>

00:34:47.340 --> 00:34:49.780
desiring<00:34:47.800><c> to</c><00:34:48.119><c> serve,</c><00:34:48.820><c> will</c><00:34:48.960><c> be</c><00:34:49.139><c> turned</c><00:34:49.380><c> away.</c>

No<00:34:50.320><c> way</c><00:34:50.679><c> at</c><00:34:50.960><c> all.</c>

00:34:52.539 --> 00:34:54.659
And<00:34:52.599><c> what</c><00:34:52.719><c> we</c><00:34:52.960><c> have</c><00:34:53.199><c> been</c><00:34:53.559><c> is</c><00:34:53.800><c> what</c><00:34:53.960><c> we</c><00:34:54.179><c> have</c><00:34:54.360><c> been.</c>

00:34:54.739 --> 00:34:57.300
It's<00:34:54.800><c> what</c><00:34:54.920><c> we</c><00:34:55.199><c> can</c><00:34:55.480><c> be</c><00:34:55.940><c> that</c><00:34:56.239><c> matters.</c>

00:34:57.340 --> 00:34:58.480
And<00:34:57.420><c> the</c><00:34:57.619><c> poor</c><00:34:57.739><c> in</c><00:34:58.019><c> spirit</c>

00:34:58.480 --> 00:35:01.260

00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:05.099
Lord,<00:35:03.659><c> have</c><00:35:03.840><c> mercy</c><00:35:04.159><c> upon</c><00:35:04.480><c> me</c>

00:35:05.099 --> 00:35:07.500
and<00:35:05.420><c> I</c><00:35:05.599><c> will</c><00:35:05.840><c> pay</c><00:35:06.139><c> thee</c><00:35:06.440><c> all,</c>

00:35:08.559 --> 00:35:10.539
We<00:35:08.739><c> can't</c><00:35:09.159><c> pay</c><00:35:09.480><c> all.</c>

00:35:11.460 --> 00:35:13.639
There's<00:35:11.579><c> no</c><00:35:11.940><c> way</c><00:35:12.179><c> in</c><00:35:12.179><c> which</c><00:35:12.340><c> we</c><00:35:12.440><c> can</c><00:35:12.639><c> do</c><00:35:12.920><c> that,</c><00:35:13.079><c> is</c><00:35:13.300><c> there?</c>

00:35:14.019 --> 00:35:16.539
Our<00:35:14.360><c> debt,</c><00:35:14.760><c> the</c><00:35:15.019><c> debt</c><00:35:15.199><c> that's</c><00:35:15.340><c> been</c><00:35:15.619><c> run</c><00:35:15.860><c> up,</c>

What<00:35:39.679><c> we</c><00:35:39.840><c> want</c><00:35:40.000><c> to</c><00:35:40.239><c> do,</c>

00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:42.559
my<00:35:41.579><c> dear</c><00:35:41.900><c> brethren</c><00:35:42.179><c> and</c><00:35:42.400><c> sisters,</c>

00:35:42.579 --> 00:35:44.820
is<00:35:42.860><c> to</c><00:35:43.039><c> go</c><00:35:43.239><c> home</c><00:35:43.440><c> at</c><00:35:43.599><c> the</c><00:35:43.739><c> end</c><00:35:43.880><c> of</c><00:35:44.039><c> the</c><00:35:44.139><c> week</c><00:35:44.380><c> saying,</c>

00:35:45.179 --> 00:35:47.139
not<00:35:45.260><c> only</c><00:35:45.539><c> has</c><00:35:45.719><c> it</c><00:35:45.900><c> been</c><00:35:46.179><c> good</c><00:35:46.420><c> to</c><00:35:46.639><c> be</c><00:35:46.840><c> here,</c>

00:35:47.139 --> 00:35:49.639
it's<00:35:47.659><c> going</c><00:35:47.780><c> to</c><00:35:47.900><c> be</c><00:35:48.119><c> good</c><00:35:48.440><c> to</c><00:35:48.699><c> live</c><00:35:48.900><c> the</c><00:35:49.059><c> next</c><00:35:49.300><c> week.</c>

00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:51.039
That's<00:35:50.000><c> the</c><00:35:50.159><c> point.</c>

00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:52.860
And<00:35:51.480><c> it</c><00:35:51.679><c> can</c><00:35:51.900><c> work</c><00:35:52.159><c> for</c><00:35:52.420><c> you</c>

00:35:52.860 --> 00:35:56.139
because<00:35:53.320><c> these</c><00:35:53.579><c> are</c><00:35:53.739><c> not</c><00:35:53.960><c> things</c><00:35:54.260><c> that</c><00:35:54.559><c> are</c><00:35:54.960><c> impossible.</c>

00:35:57.059 --> 00:36:00.019
I<00:35:57.179><c> waited</c><00:35:57.539><c> patiently</c><00:35:58.039><c> for</c><00:35:58.280><c> the</c><00:35:58.460><c> Lord</c>

00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:04.579
and<00:36:01.940><c> He</c><00:36:02.260><c> inclined</c><00:36:02.940><c> unto</c><00:36:03.199><c> me</c>

00:36:04.800 --> 00:36:06.380
and<00:36:05.380><c> heard</c><00:36:05.579><c> my</c><00:36:05.880><c> cry.</c>

00:36:06.639 --> 00:36:10.519
Now<00:36:06.880><c> just</c><00:36:07.460><c> let</c><00:36:07.860><c> the</c><00:36:08.099><c> words</c><00:36:08.300><c> come</c><00:36:08.579><c> off</c><00:36:08.820><c> the</c><00:36:09.119><c> page.</c>

00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:19.059
I<00:36:14.340><c> waited</c><00:36:15.000><c> patiently</c><00:36:16.800><c> for</c><00:36:17.800><c> the</c><00:36:18.000><c> Lord.</c>

00:36:20.239 --> 00:36:24.000
It's<00:36:20.400><c> a</c><00:36:20.500><c> kind</c><00:36:20.699><c> of,</c><00:36:21.340><c> in</c><00:36:21.679><c> waiting</c><00:36:22.199><c> I</c><00:36:22.820><c> waited.</c>

00:36:24.820 --> 00:36:27.679
In<00:36:24.980><c> fact,</c><00:36:25.139><c> this</c><00:36:25.340><c> lies</c><00:36:25.519><c> behind</c><00:36:25.980><c> the</c><00:36:26.139><c> word</c><00:36:26.340><c> patient,</c><00:36:26.940><c> doesn't</c><00:36:27.099><c> it?</c>

00:36:28.179 --> 00:36:31.699
The<00:36:28.320><c> word</c><00:36:28.460><c> patient</c><00:36:28.800><c> is</c><00:36:29.480><c> not</c><00:36:29.719><c> against</c><00:36:30.139><c> the</c><00:36:30.360><c> word</c><00:36:30.599><c> impatient.</c>

00:36:32.820 --> 00:36:36.440
It's<00:36:32.980><c> not</c><00:36:33.239><c> that</c><00:36:33.539><c> that</c><00:36:33.739><c> its</c><00:36:34.440><c> basic</c><00:36:34.880><c> meaning</c><00:36:35.199><c> is</c><00:36:35.440><c> it.</c>

00:36:36.940 --> 00:36:41.219
We<00:36:37.579><c> all</c><00:36:37.840><c> know</c><00:36:38.019><c> that</c><00:36:38.179><c> its</c><00:36:38.320><c> basic</c><00:36:38.679><c> meaning</c><00:36:39.000><c> is</c><00:36:39.599><c> endurance.</c>

00:36:41.519 --> 00:36:44.039
That's<00:36:41.800><c> the</c><00:36:41.920><c> basic</c><00:36:42.199><c> meaning</c><00:36:42.440><c> of</c><00:36:42.639><c> the</c><00:36:42.719><c> word</c><00:36:42.900><c> patience,</c>

00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:45.780
of<00:36:44.500><c> lasting.</c>

00:36:46.500 --> 00:36:48.460
He<00:36:47.139><c> endured</c><00:36:47.780><c> the</c><00:36:48.119><c> things.</c>

00:36:48.699 --> 00:36:50.380
Hebrews<00:36:48.880><c> 12</c><00:36:49.280><c> is</c><00:36:49.480><c> that</c><00:36:49.659><c> very</c><00:36:49.960><c> word,</c>

00:36:50.699 --> 00:36:52.320
is<00:36:50.820><c> the</c><00:36:51.039><c> verb</c><00:36:51.340><c> for</c><00:36:51.559><c> being</c><00:36:51.860><c> patient.</c>

00:36:52.420 --> 00:36:54.340
So<00:36:52.880><c> we</c><00:36:53.360><c> understand</c><00:36:53.840><c> well</c>

00:36:54.340 --> 00:36:57.400
as<00:36:54.599><c> Brother</c><00:36:55.719><c> Chuck</c><00:36:56.099><c> has</c><00:36:56.260><c> been</c><00:36:56.480><c> developing</c><00:36:56.840><c> for</c><00:36:57.239><c> us</c>

00:36:57.400 --> 00:37:03.199
in<00:36:57.579><c> that</c><00:36:59.059><c> fine</c><00:36:59.480><c> opening</c><00:36:59.880><c> of</c><00:37:00.179><c> the</c><00:37:00.480><c> letter</c><00:37:00.760><c> from</c><00:37:02.059><c> James</c><00:37:02.599><c> to</c><00:37:02.880><c> us.</c>

00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:05.980
But<00:37:03.420><c> look</c><00:37:03.619><c> what</c><00:37:03.760><c> happens</c><00:37:04.199><c> if</c><00:37:04.360><c> we</c><00:37:04.619><c> wait.</c>

00:37:07.119 --> 00:37:09.280
He<00:37:07.119><c> brought</c><00:37:07.380><c> me</c><00:37:07.619><c> up</c><00:37:07.820><c> also</c>

00:37:09.760 --> 00:37:12.199
out<00:37:10.280><c> of</c><00:37:10.420><c> an</c><00:37:10.699><c> horrible</c><00:37:11.099><c> pit,</c>

00:37:13.300 --> 00:37:15.739
out<00:37:13.519><c> of</c><00:37:13.679><c> the</c><00:37:14.079><c> miry</c><00:37:14.559><c> clay</c>

00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:19.239
and<00:37:17.119><c> set</c><00:37:17.300><c> my</c><00:37:17.559><c> feet</c><00:37:17.760><c> upon</c><00:37:17.960><c> a</c><00:37:18.159><c> rock</c>

00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:23.079
and<00:37:20.239><c> established</c><00:37:20.639><c> my</c><00:37:20.960><c> goings.</c>

00:37:23.500 --> 00:37:25.659
Now<00:37:23.820><c> we're</c><00:37:23.940><c> all</c><00:37:24.159><c> aware</c><00:37:24.340><c> of</c><00:37:24.820><c> horrible</c><00:37:25.260><c> pits</c>

00:37:25.659 --> 00:37:26.679
and<00:37:25.820><c> if</c><00:37:25.940><c> you're</c><00:37:26.199><c> in</c><00:37:26.420><c> one,</c>

00:37:26.920 --> 00:37:28.519
there<00:37:27.139><c> are</c><00:37:27.260><c> some</c><00:37:27.420><c> who</c><00:37:27.559><c> come</c><00:37:27.719><c> to</c><00:37:27.900><c> Bible</c><00:37:28.119><c> school</c>

00:37:28.519 --> 00:37:30.980
who<00:37:28.860><c> really</c><00:37:29.239><c> are</c><00:37:29.440><c> in</c><00:37:29.559><c> a</c><00:37:29.780><c> horrible</c><00:37:30.059><c> pit,</c>

00:37:31.260 --> 00:37:32.820
sometimes<00:37:31.739><c> a</c><00:37:32.019><c> behavioral</c><00:37:32.440><c> one,</c>

00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:35.260
that's<00:37:33.260><c> something</c><00:37:33.460><c> wrong</c><00:37:33.699><c> in</c><00:37:33.920><c> our</c><00:37:34.139><c> lives.</c>

00:37:37.679 --> 00:37:39.679
This<00:37:37.920><c> is</c><00:37:38.059><c> how</c><00:37:38.179><c> it</c><00:37:38.239><c> can</c><00:37:38.400><c> be</c><00:37:38.539><c> put</c><00:37:38.699><c> right.</c>

00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:41.599
And<00:37:40.199><c> I'm</c><00:37:40.260><c> not</c><00:37:40.440><c> talking</c><00:37:40.699><c> now</c><00:37:40.980><c> about</c>

00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:44.059
just<00:37:42.119><c> little</c><00:37:42.360><c> things</c><00:37:42.559><c> in</c><00:37:42.780><c> our</c><00:37:43.000><c> lives.</c>

00:37:44.739 --> 00:37:46.659
Our<00:37:45.219><c> society,</c><00:37:45.900><c> brethren</c><00:37:46.059><c> and</c><00:37:46.360><c> sisters,</c>

00:37:46.940 --> 00:37:50.079
produces<00:37:47.400><c> the</c><00:37:48.000><c> worst</c><00:37:48.659><c> of</c><00:37:49.500><c> sins.</c>

00:37:50.099 --> 00:37:51.780
We<00:37:50.420><c> know</c><00:37:50.739><c> that.</c>

00:37:52.139 --> 00:37:54.199
Now<00:37:52.400><c> if</c><00:37:52.480><c> you've</c><00:37:53.059><c> fallen</c><00:37:53.320><c> into</c><00:37:53.539><c> one</c><00:37:53.739><c> of</c><00:37:53.940><c> those,</c>

00:37:54.260 --> 00:37:56.000
then<00:37:54.440><c> there</c><00:37:54.619><c> is</c><00:37:54.780><c> a</c><00:37:54.880><c> way</c><00:37:55.039><c> out.</c>

00:37:56.280 --> 00:37:57.960
That's<00:37:56.559><c> what</c><00:37:56.699><c> God</c><00:37:56.880><c> is</c><00:37:57.119><c> saying</c><00:37:57.280><c> to</c><00:37:57.480><c> us</c><00:37:57.699><c> here.</c>

00:37:58.059 --> 00:37:59.059
It<00:37:58.300><c> applied</c><00:37:58.519><c> to</c><00:37:58.719><c> Jesus.</c>

00:37:59.059 --> 00:38:01.539
He<00:37:59.199><c> went</c><00:37:59.380><c> into</c><00:37:59.559><c> the</c><00:37:59.739><c> horrible</c><00:38:00.059><c> pit</c><00:38:00.440><c> and</c><00:38:00.860><c> He</c><00:38:01.059><c> came</c><00:38:01.260><c> out.</c>

00:38:01.539 --> 00:38:03.559
That<00:38:01.699><c> was</c><00:38:01.840><c> His</c><00:38:02.019><c> death</c><00:38:02.239><c> and</c><00:38:02.440><c> resurrection.</c>

00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:06.659
But<00:38:03.760><c> for</c><00:38:03.900><c> us,</c><00:38:04.260><c> we</c><00:38:04.420><c> can</c><00:38:04.579><c> be</c><00:38:04.780><c> delivered</c><00:38:04.920><c> from</c><00:38:05.159><c> our</c><00:38:05.420><c> sins.</c>

00:38:07.059 --> 00:38:09.699
Now<00:38:07.239><c> if</c><00:38:07.260><c> you're</c><00:38:07.460><c> really</c><00:38:07.840><c> down</c><00:38:08.320><c> into</c><00:38:08.559><c> a</c><00:38:08.840><c> horrible</c><00:38:09.239><c> pit,</c>

00:38:10.099 --> 00:38:11.699
this<00:38:10.280><c> is</c><00:38:10.460><c> the</c><00:38:10.579><c> way</c><00:38:10.739><c> out.</c>

00:38:11.820 --> 00:38:13.880
And<00:38:11.980><c> in</c><00:38:12.079><c> our</c><00:38:12.239><c> generation</c><00:38:12.639><c> we've</c><00:38:12.840><c> got</c><00:38:12.940><c> to</c><00:38:13.179><c> spell</c><00:38:13.340><c> them</c><00:38:13.539><c> out.</c>

00:38:14.059 --> 00:38:15.019
It<00:38:14.179><c> may</c><00:38:14.380><c> be</c><00:38:14.599><c> drugs.</c>

00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:17.320
Now<00:38:15.420><c> if</c><00:38:15.539><c> that's</c><00:38:15.780><c> what</c><00:38:15.920><c> you've</c><00:38:16.139><c> got</c><00:38:16.300><c> into,</c>

00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:19.679
or<00:38:18.400><c> if</c><00:38:18.480><c> it's</c><00:38:18.599><c> got</c><00:38:18.760><c> into</c><00:38:18.940><c> your</c><00:38:19.179><c> family,</c>

00:38:19.840 --> 00:38:22.900
then<00:38:20.039><c> identify</c><00:38:20.760><c> it</c><00:38:21.039><c> and</c><00:38:21.219><c> learn</c><00:38:21.519><c> the</c><00:38:21.679><c> way</c><00:38:21.860><c> out.</c>

00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:24.880
It's<00:38:23.019><c> not</c><00:38:23.079><c> just</c><00:38:23.239><c> ignoring</c><00:38:23.739><c> things</c><00:38:24.000><c> when</c><00:38:24.139><c> they</c><00:38:24.360><c> arise.</c>

00:38:24.940 --> 00:38:27.059
It<00:38:25.119><c> may</c><00:38:25.239><c> be</c><00:38:25.440><c> moral</c><00:38:25.739><c> behavior.</c>

00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:30.960
All<00:38:28.760><c> the</c><00:38:29.059><c> kinds</c><00:38:29.340><c> of</c><00:38:29.579><c> moral</c><00:38:29.800><c> behavior.</c>

00:38:31.380 --> 00:38:31.980
Right?

00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:33.300
And<00:38:32.519><c> they</c><00:38:32.659><c> all</c><00:38:32.800><c> exist.</c>

00:38:33.559 --> 00:38:36.099
Fornication,<00:38:34.340><c> adultery,</c><00:38:35.300><c> homosexuality.</c>

00:38:36.280 --> 00:38:39.940
They're<00:38:36.500><c> in</c><00:38:36.739><c> our</c><00:38:37.000><c> society</c><00:38:37.559><c> and</c><00:38:37.920><c> they</c><00:38:38.199><c> affect</c><00:38:38.519><c> our</c><00:38:38.780><c> community.</c>

00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:44.340
And<00:38:41.119><c> this</c><00:38:41.559><c> is</c><00:38:41.719><c> not</c><00:38:41.840><c> to</c><00:38:42.019><c> identify</c><00:38:42.599><c> people</c><00:38:42.960><c> and</c><00:38:43.340><c> to</c><00:38:43.599><c> decry</c><00:38:43.900><c> people.</c>

00:38:44.659 --> 00:38:49.059
What<00:38:44.840><c> this</c><00:38:45.039><c> is</c><00:38:45.260><c> about</c><00:38:45.500><c> is</c><00:38:46.119><c> such</c><00:38:46.719><c> people</c><00:38:47.619><c> can</c><00:38:47.980><c> be</c><00:38:48.420><c> saved.</c>

00:38:49.340 --> 00:38:50.780
That's<00:38:49.739><c> the</c><00:38:49.920><c> point.</c>

00:38:52.119 --> 00:38:55.099
God<00:38:52.320><c> didn't</c><00:38:52.639><c> send</c><00:38:52.880><c> Jesus</c><00:38:53.300><c> to</c><00:38:53.519><c> get</c><00:38:53.659><c> rid</c><00:38:53.840><c> of</c><00:38:54.019><c> us.</c>

00:38:55.619 --> 00:38:58.260
We<00:38:56.139><c> had</c><00:38:56.239><c> already</c><00:38:56.619><c> got</c><00:38:56.880><c> rid</c><00:38:57.139><c> of,</c><00:38:57.380><c> before</c><00:38:57.659><c> He</c><00:38:57.880><c> came.</c>

00:38:58.380 --> 00:39:00.980
We<00:38:58.480><c> were</c><00:38:58.699><c> dead</c><00:38:58.940><c> in</c><00:38:59.199><c> trespasses</c><00:38:59.559><c> and</c><00:38:59.860><c> sins.</c>

00:39:01.139 --> 00:39:03.579
He<00:39:01.460><c> sent</c><00:39:01.659><c> Him</c><00:39:01.780><c> to</c><00:39:02.000><c> deliver</c><00:39:02.239><c> us</c><00:39:02.500><c> from</c><00:39:02.699><c> our</c><00:39:02.960><c> sins</c>

00:39:03.579 --> 00:39:06.599
and<00:39:04.480><c> to</c><00:39:04.639><c> give</c><00:39:04.699><c> us</c><00:39:04.900><c> the</c><00:39:05.059><c> hope</c><00:39:05.199><c> of</c><00:39:05.360><c> the</c><00:39:05.500><c> Gospel.</c>

00:39:06.820 --> 00:39:09.579
And<00:39:07.059><c> He</c><00:39:07.159><c> can</c><00:39:07.420><c> do</c><00:39:07.679><c> it,</c><00:39:07.920><c> but</c><00:39:08.039><c> we've</c><00:39:08.239><c> got</c><00:39:08.340><c> to</c><00:39:08.599><c> receive</c><00:39:08.980><c> it.</c>

00:39:09.659 --> 00:39:11.800
And<00:39:09.820><c> we've</c><00:39:10.019><c> got</c><00:39:10.360><c> humbly</c><00:39:10.860><c> to</c><00:39:11.139><c> receive</c><00:39:11.420><c> it.</c>

00:39:12.019 --> 00:39:13.840
God<00:39:12.280><c> doesn't</c><00:39:12.599><c> deliver</c><00:39:12.880><c> us</c><00:39:13.079><c> from</c><00:39:13.280><c> those</c><00:39:13.579><c> sins</c>

00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:16.619
if<00:39:14.659><c> we</c><00:39:14.940><c> don't</c><00:39:15.260><c> want</c><00:39:15.519><c> to</c><00:39:15.679><c> be</c><00:39:15.900><c> delivered</c><00:39:16.199><c> from</c><00:39:16.460><c> them.</c>

00:39:16.619 --> 00:39:17.900
That's<00:39:16.880><c> the</c><00:39:17.039><c> point.</c>

00:39:17.940 --> 00:39:20.760
We've<00:39:18.340><c> got</c><00:39:18.679><c> to</c><00:39:19.119><c> lay</c><00:39:19.340><c> them</c><00:39:19.579><c> before</c><00:39:19.960><c> the</c><00:39:20.239><c> Lord</c>

00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:24.539
in<00:39:21.820><c> total</c><00:39:22.360><c> confession</c><00:39:23.260><c> before</c><00:39:24.139><c> Him.</c>

00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:27.440
You<00:39:25.219><c> may</c><00:39:25.460><c> need</c><00:39:25.679><c> help</c><00:39:26.219><c> from</c><00:39:26.619><c> another</c><00:39:26.840><c> brother</c>

00:39:27.440 --> 00:39:30.320
or<00:39:28.260><c> if</c><00:39:28.380><c> you're</c><00:39:28.619><c> a</c><00:39:28.719><c> sister</c><00:39:28.900><c> from</c><00:39:29.099><c> a</c><00:39:29.280><c> sister,</c>

00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:34.079
just<00:39:30.699><c> have</c><00:39:30.920><c> a</c><00:39:31.280><c> careful</c><00:39:31.619><c> word</c><00:39:31.980><c> and</c><00:39:32.199><c> just</c><00:39:32.500><c> pour</c><00:39:32.619><c> out</c><00:39:32.800><c> your</c><00:39:33.059><c> heart.</c>

00:39:34.539 --> 00:39:35.639
And<00:39:34.780><c> when</c><00:39:34.880><c> you've</c><00:39:35.079><c> done</c><00:39:35.300><c> that,</c>

00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:38.320
you<00:39:35.820><c> will</c><00:39:36.000><c> discover</c><00:39:36.400><c> what</c><00:39:36.619><c> this</c><00:39:36.920><c> blessedness</c><00:39:37.380><c> is.</c>

00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:40.719
There<00:39:38.980><c> is</c><00:39:39.320><c> nothing</c><00:39:39.639><c> like</c><00:39:40.059><c> it.</c>

00:39:40.900 --> 00:39:42.440
Nothing<00:39:41.239><c> at</c><00:39:41.539><c> all.</c>

00:39:43.300 --> 00:39:45.619
You<00:39:43.480><c> know</c><00:39:43.599><c> what</c><00:39:43.719><c> the</c><00:39:43.900><c> horrible</c><00:39:44.199><c> pit</c><00:39:44.400><c> is</c><00:39:44.639><c> like?</c>

00:39:45.739 --> 00:39:46.760
And<00:39:45.920><c> the</c><00:39:46.099><c> miry</c><00:39:46.480><c> clay.</c>

00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:47.579
Look<00:39:47.000><c> what</c><00:39:47.179><c> happens.</c>

00:39:47.579 --> 00:39:50.760
And<00:39:47.940><c> He</c><00:39:48.239><c> set</c><00:39:48.559><c> my</c><00:39:48.980><c> feet</c><00:39:49.139><c> upon</c><00:39:49.380><c> a</c><00:39:49.679><c> rock</c>

00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:53.719
and<00:39:52.239><c> established</c><00:39:52.840><c> my</c><00:39:53.239><c> goings.</c>

00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:57.280
Now<00:39:53.920><c> that's</c><00:39:54.500><c> the</c><00:39:55.059><c> way</c><00:39:55.559><c> that</c><00:39:56.159><c> comes</c><00:39:56.539><c> to</c><00:39:56.920><c> those</c>

00:39:57.280 --> 00:40:00.000
who<00:39:57.900><c> follow</c><00:39:58.360><c> the</c><00:39:58.659><c> poor</c><00:39:58.780><c> in</c><00:39:59.079><c> spirit.</c>

00:40:00.739 --> 00:40:02.519
Now<00:40:00.880><c> it's</c><00:40:01.019><c> a</c><00:40:01.199><c> marvellous</c><00:40:01.579><c> thing,</c><00:40:01.940><c> brothers</c><00:40:02.059><c> and</c><00:40:02.219><c> sisters.</c>

00:40:02.559 --> 00:40:03.880
This<00:40:02.780><c> is</c><00:40:02.960><c> a</c><00:40:03.059><c> wonderful</c><00:40:03.480><c> psalm</c>

00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:06.539
and<00:40:04.039><c> it</c><00:40:04.219><c> leaps</c><00:40:05.119><c> right</c><00:40:05.500><c> over</c><00:40:05.800><c> into</c><00:40:05.980><c> the</c><00:40:06.159><c> Apocalypse.</c>

00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:09.219
Here's<00:40:06.800><c> the</c><00:40:06.980><c> new</c><00:40:07.159><c> song</c><00:40:07.679><c> in</c><00:40:08.400><c> our</c><00:40:08.619><c> mouth</c>

00:40:09.219 --> 00:40:12.440
that<00:40:10.179><c> the</c><00:40:10.320><c> Lord</c><00:40:10.599><c> puts</c><00:40:10.920><c> there</c><00:40:11.239><c> for</c><00:40:11.420><c> us.</c>

00:40:12.980 --> 00:40:16.179
So<00:40:13.579><c> if</c><00:40:14.179><c> you</c><00:40:14.320><c> want</c><00:40:14.420><c> to</c><00:40:14.559><c> find</c><00:40:14.739><c> the</c><00:40:14.880><c> way</c><00:40:15.000><c> out</c><00:40:15.239><c> from</c><00:40:15.400><c> where</c><00:40:15.500><c> you</c><00:40:15.739><c> are,</c>

00:40:16.179 --> 00:40:18.380
if<00:40:16.380><c> it's</c><00:40:16.760><c> some</c><00:40:17.219><c> trap</c><00:40:17.599><c> in</c><00:40:17.780><c> which</c><00:40:17.940><c> you</c><00:40:18.159><c> are,</c>

00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:20.380
there<00:40:18.699><c> is</c><00:40:19.019><c> a</c><00:40:19.059><c> way</c><00:40:19.260><c> to</c><00:40:19.579><c> break</c><00:40:19.800><c> it.</c>

00:40:20.380 --> 00:40:24.019
And<00:40:20.619><c> the</c><00:40:20.880><c> power</c><00:40:21.139><c> lies</c><00:40:21.780><c> in</c><00:40:23.159><c> the</c><00:40:23.320><c> Word</c><00:40:23.440><c> of</c><00:40:23.679><c> God,</c>

00:40:24.199 --> 00:40:26.199
in<00:40:24.320><c> the</c><00:40:24.519><c> Lord</c><00:40:24.679><c> Jesus</c><00:40:25.059><c> Christ,</c>

00:40:26.400 --> 00:40:28.679
in<00:40:26.739><c> faith</c><00:40:27.099><c> and</c><00:40:27.400><c> in</c><00:40:27.739><c> prayer.</c>

00:40:29.260 --> 00:40:32.719
And<00:40:29.659><c> brethren</c><00:40:29.880><c> and</c><00:40:30.159><c> sisters</c><00:40:30.559><c> are</c><00:40:31.019><c> here</c><00:40:31.360><c> to</c><00:40:31.760><c> hold</c><00:40:31.980><c> our</c><00:40:32.219><c> hands.</c>

00:40:32.840 --> 00:40:34.800
That's<00:40:33.219><c> what</c><00:40:33.519><c> companionship</c><00:40:34.159><c> is</c><00:40:34.360><c> about.</c>

00:40:35.300 --> 00:40:36.739
So<00:40:35.559><c> don't</c><00:40:35.820><c> neglect</c><00:40:36.219><c> it.</c>

00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:38.320
Just<00:40:37.340><c> take</c><00:40:37.599><c> hold</c><00:40:37.780><c> of</c><00:40:37.940><c> it.</c>

00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:40.199
And<00:40:38.719><c> remember</c><00:40:39.079><c> that</c><00:40:39.380><c> this</c><00:40:39.579><c> is</c><00:40:39.780><c> the</c><00:40:39.920><c> reason</c>

00:40:40.199 --> 00:40:42.280

Don't<00:40:47.159><c> neglect</c><00:40:47.559><c> it.</c>

00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:12.239

00:41:35.219 --> 00:41:38.440
Isn't<00:41:35.599><c> it</c><00:41:35.880><c> interesting</c><00:41:36.400><c> that</c><00:41:36.960><c> blessed</c><00:41:37.280><c> are</c><00:41:37.500><c> the</c><00:41:37.719><c> poor</c><00:41:37.880><c> in</c><00:41:38.159><c> spirit,</c>

00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:43.840
Or<00:41:42.599><c> as</c><00:41:42.820><c> Matthew</c><00:41:43.079><c> always</c><00:41:43.420><c> states</c><00:41:43.659><c> it,</c>

the<00:41:43.940><c> Kingdom</c><00:41:44.179><c> of</c><00:41:44.340><c> Heaven</c>

00:41:44.579 --> 00:41:46.260
because<00:41:44.900><c> that's</c><00:41:45.300><c> where</c><00:41:45.380><c> its</c><00:41:45.699><c> origin</c><00:41:46.019><c> is.</c>

00:41:46.260 --> 00:41:47.219
It<00:41:46.380><c> comes</c><00:41:46.619><c> from</c><00:41:46.860><c> God.</c>

00:41:47.420 --> 00:41:49.159
That's<00:41:47.719><c> where</c><00:41:47.860><c> the</c><00:41:48.000><c> New</c><00:41:48.159><c> Jerusalem</c><00:41:48.699><c> comes</c>

00:41:51.400 --> 00:41:53.780
It<00:41:51.599><c> comes</c><00:41:51.860><c> down</c><00:41:52.219><c> out</c><00:41:52.539><c> of</c><00:41:52.719><c> God</c><00:41:52.980><c> from</c><00:41:53.320><c> Heaven.</c>

00:41:54.219 --> 00:41:57.980
It's<00:41:54.380><c> all</c><00:41:54.659><c> being</c><00:41:54.940><c> constructed</c><00:41:55.760><c> of</c><00:41:56.179><c> God</c><00:41:56.480><c> and</c><00:41:56.659><c> by</c><00:41:56.800><c> His</c><00:41:57.119><c> work.</c>

00:41:58.460 --> 00:42:00.059

00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:32.400
And<00:42:30.800><c> I</c><00:42:30.920><c> think</c><00:42:31.019><c> that's</c><00:42:31.300><c> the</c><00:42:31.440><c> emphasis.</c>

00:42:33.480 --> 00:42:37.820
The<00:42:34.000><c> emphasis</c><00:42:34.000><c> is</c><00:42:35.579><c> not</c><00:42:35.739><c> on</c><00:42:36.059><c> present</c><00:42:36.539><c> possession,</c>
