00:21:33.539 --> 00:21:36.119

00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:46.819
I'm<00:21:44.140><c> sure</c><00:21:44.259><c> this</c><00:21:44.420><c> can</c><00:21:44.599><c> be</c><00:21:44.779><c> carried</c><00:21:44.940><c> overboard</c><00:21:45.480><c> to</c><00:21:46.500><c> the</c><00:21:46.660><c> point</c>

00:22:11.359 --> 00:22:15.220
And<00:22:11.579><c> there</c><00:22:11.700><c> may</c><00:22:11.900><c> even</c><00:22:12.140><c> be</c><00:22:12.440><c> occasions</c><00:22:12.900><c> when</c><00:22:13.380><c> it</c><00:22:13.740><c> would</c><00:22:13.900><c> be</c><00:22:14.220><c> improper</c><00:22:14.720><c> to</c>

00:22:19.519 --> 00:22:22.940

let<00:22:30.180><c> God</c><00:22:30.519><c> himself</c><00:22:31.119><c> draw</c><00:22:31.759><c> them</c>

00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:39.880
Perhaps<00:22:36.420><c> he's</c><00:22:36.740><c> saying</c><00:22:36.880><c> that,</c><00:22:37.740><c> and</c><00:22:39.119><c> perhaps</c><00:22:39.380><c> there's</c><00:22:39.599><c> really</c>

00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:42.019

00:22:49.460 --> 00:22:51.440
easily<00:22:49.940><c> misused.</c>

00:22:52.339 --> 00:22:56.740
It<00:22:52.500><c> can</c><00:22:52.700><c> be</c><00:22:53.140><c> used</c><00:22:53.579><c> as</c><00:22:54.240><c> an</c><00:22:54.619><c> excuse</c><00:22:55.059><c> for</c><00:22:55.480><c> our</c><00:22:55.799><c> own</c><00:22:56.119><c> cowardice.</c>

00:22:57.180 --> 00:22:59.740

00:23:01.299 --> 00:23:03.220

I<00:27:43.039><c> think</c><00:27:43.119><c> he</c><00:27:43.259><c> was</c><00:27:43.400><c> talking</c><00:27:43.680><c> about</c><00:27:44.119><c> the</c><00:27:44.460><c> spiritual</c><00:27:44.980><c> needs</c><00:27:45.380><c> that</c>

we<00:27:45.799><c> have</c><00:27:46.019><c> too.</c>

00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:49.279
God<00:27:46.980><c> will</c><00:27:47.279><c> provide</c><00:27:47.660><c> for</c><00:27:47.920><c> you</c><00:27:48.299><c> in</c><00:27:48.619><c> that</c><00:27:48.839><c> regard.</c>

00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:52.460
You<00:27:49.880><c> lack</c><00:27:50.119><c> knowledge,</c><00:27:51.259><c> God</c><00:27:51.579><c> will</c><00:27:51.839><c> give</c><00:27:51.960><c> it</c><00:27:52.180><c> to</c><00:27:52.299><c> you.</c>

00:27:52.519 --> 00:27:54.059
I<00:27:52.619><c> mean,</c><00:27:52.660><c> he</c><00:27:52.740><c> won't</c><00:27:52.900><c> give</c><00:27:53.059><c> it</c><00:27:53.180><c> to</c><00:27:53.240><c> you</c><00:27:53.339><c> on</c><00:27:53.440><c> a</c><00:27:53.619><c> silver</c><00:27:53.819><c> platter</c>

where<00:27:54.220><c> you</c><00:27:54.319><c> don't</c><00:27:54.440><c> have</c><00:27:54.599><c> to</c><00:27:54.759><c> think</c><00:27:54.920><c> for</c><00:27:55.119><c> yourselves.</c>

00:27:55.579 --> 00:27:59.380
But<00:27:56.000><c> if</c><00:27:56.220><c> you</c><00:27:56.420><c> apply</c><00:27:56.779><c> yourself</c><00:27:57.299><c> to</c><00:27:57.460><c> the</c><00:27:57.660><c> scripture</c><00:27:57.940><c> and</c><00:27:58.980><c> if</c><00:27:59.160><c> you</c>

00:28:05.220 --> 00:28:05.799
go<00:28:05.460><c> through.</c>

00:28:06.019 --> 00:28:08.960
And<00:28:06.279><c> you</c><00:28:06.440><c> will</c><00:28:06.720><c> know,</c><00:28:07.180><c> you</c><00:28:07.359><c> will</c><00:28:07.599><c> eventually</c><00:28:07.940><c> learn</c><00:28:08.359><c> how</c><00:28:08.779><c> you</c>

00:28:08.960 --> 00:28:09.299
should<00:28:09.160><c> act.</c>

00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:10.660
There<00:28:09.440><c> may</c><00:28:09.619><c> be</c><00:28:09.779><c> many</c><00:28:10.019><c> false</c><00:28:10.319><c> starts.</c>

00:28:10.740 --> 00:28:13.039
There<00:28:10.819><c> may</c><00:28:11.019><c> be</c><00:28:11.180><c> many</c><00:28:11.700><c> wrong</c><00:28:12.000><c> turns</c><00:28:12.339><c> along</c><00:28:12.640><c> the</c><00:28:12.799><c> way.</c>

00:28:13.220 --> 00:28:16.420
But<00:28:13.420><c> God</c><00:28:13.700><c> will</c><00:28:13.980><c> give</c><00:28:14.119><c> you</c><00:28:14.299><c> what</c><00:28:14.440><c> is</c><00:28:14.700><c> necessary</c><00:28:15.180><c> if</c><00:28:15.619><c> you</c><00:28:15.819><c> go</c><00:28:15.960><c> to</c><00:28:16.160><c> him.</c>

00:28:16.660 --> 00:28:19.779
So<00:28:16.839><c> I</c><00:28:16.980><c> think,</c><00:28:17.660><c> give</c><00:28:17.720><c> us</c><00:28:17.900><c> this</c><00:28:18.099><c> day</c><00:28:18.240><c> our</c><00:28:18.460><c> daily</c><00:28:18.700><c> bread</c><00:28:18.960><c> is</c><00:28:19.160><c> talking</c><00:28:19.420><c> about</c>

00:28:19.779 --> 00:28:22.500
spiritual<00:28:20.359><c> needs</c><00:28:20.720><c> as</c><00:28:21.240><c> well</c><00:28:21.619><c> as</c><00:28:21.920><c> physical</c><00:28:22.259><c> needs.</c>

00:28:22.500 --> 00:28:25.819
And<00:28:22.799><c> Jesus</c><00:28:22.960><c> returns</c><00:28:23.480><c> to</c><00:28:23.680><c> that</c><00:28:23.960><c> theme</c><00:28:24.279><c> here</c><00:28:24.839><c> in</c><00:28:25.200><c> verses</c><00:28:25.480><c> seven</c>

00:28:25.819 --> 00:28:26.359
and<00:28:26.000><c> eight.</c>

00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:29.240
And<00:28:26.900><c> then</c><00:28:27.059><c> he</c><00:28:27.140><c> says</c><00:28:27.400><c> in</c><00:28:27.539><c> verses</c><00:28:27.839><c> nine</c><00:28:28.259><c> and</c><00:28:28.400><c> ten</c><00:28:28.720><c> and</c><00:28:28.900><c> eleven,</c>

00:28:29.579 --> 00:28:30.579
why<00:28:29.819><c> is</c><00:28:30.059><c> this</c><00:28:30.279><c> so?</c>

00:28:30.759 --> 00:28:33.220
How<00:28:30.960><c> do</c><00:28:31.140><c> we</c><00:28:31.220><c> know</c><00:28:31.359><c> we</c><00:28:31.539><c> can</c><00:28:31.819><c> trust</c><00:28:32.079><c> in</c><00:28:32.400><c> God?</c>

00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:36.559
Because<00:28:34.000><c> God</c><00:28:34.519><c> is</c><00:28:35.079><c> our</c><00:28:35.539><c> Father.</c>

00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:43.400
What<00:28:37.559><c> man,</c><00:28:37.900><c> he</c><00:28:38.099><c> says,</c><00:28:38.400><c> is</c><00:28:38.720><c> there</c><00:28:38.900><c> of</c><00:28:39.079><c> you,</c><00:28:39.720><c> whom</c><00:28:39.799><c> if</c><00:28:40.079><c> his</c><00:28:40.440><c> son</c><00:28:40.880><c> asked</c><00:28:41.480><c> bread,</c><00:28:42.359><c> will</c><00:28:42.480><c> he</c><00:28:42.640><c> give</c><00:28:42.759><c> him</c><00:28:42.920><c> a</c><00:28:43.160><c> stone?</c>

00:28:43.680 --> 00:28:45.940
If<00:28:43.819><c> he</c><00:28:44.019><c> asked</c><00:28:44.220><c> a</c><00:28:44.460><c> fish,</c><00:28:44.859><c> will</c><00:28:44.900><c> he</c><00:28:45.160><c> give</c><00:28:45.319><c> him</c><00:28:45.460><c> a</c><00:28:45.660><c> serpent?</c>

00:28:45.940 --> 00:28:50.099
If<00:28:46.680><c> you</c><00:28:47.079><c> then,</c><00:28:47.779><c> being</c><00:28:47.779><c> evil,</c><00:28:48.880><c> if</c><00:28:49.019><c> you</c><00:28:49.240><c> then</c><00:28:49.440><c> being</c><00:28:49.680><c> something</c>

00:28:53.799 --> 00:28:55.799
to<00:28:53.920><c> give</c><00:28:54.039><c> good</c><00:28:54.299><c> gifts</c><00:28:54.579><c> unto</c><00:28:54.880><c> your</c><00:28:55.299><c> children,</c>

00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:59.099
how<00:28:56.400><c> much</c><00:28:56.700><c> more</c><00:28:56.920><c> shall</c><00:28:57.099><c> your</c><00:28:57.400><c> Father,</c><00:28:58.039><c> which</c><00:28:58.299><c> is</c><00:28:58.519><c> in</c><00:28:58.759><c> heaven,</c>

00:28:59.460 --> 00:29:02.059

00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:04.579
So<00:29:02.720><c> he's</c><00:29:02.940><c> saying,</c><00:29:03.519><c> look</c><00:29:03.819><c> at</c><00:29:04.000><c> the</c><00:29:04.160><c> analogy.</c>

00:29:04.920 --> 00:29:07.720
The<00:29:05.180><c> parent</c><00:29:05.460><c> for</c><00:29:05.660><c> the</c><00:29:05.859><c> child,</c><00:29:06.480><c> any</c><00:29:06.799><c> reasonable</c><00:29:07.279><c> parent</c><00:29:07.559><c> will</c>

00:29:10.380 --> 00:29:13.839
And<00:29:11.140><c> if</c><00:29:11.359><c> you're</c><00:29:11.720><c> able</c><00:29:11.920><c> to</c><00:29:12.119><c> do</c><00:29:12.279><c> that,</c><00:29:12.980><c> weak</c><00:29:13.059><c> as</c><00:29:13.299><c> you</c><00:29:13.500><c> are</c><00:29:13.640><c> with</c>

00:29:19.180 --> 00:29:22.380
then<00:29:19.420><c> surely</c><00:29:19.700><c> you</c><00:29:19.880><c> can</c><00:29:20.099><c> recognize</c><00:29:20.680><c> that</c><00:29:21.000><c> your</c><00:29:21.200><c> Father</c><00:29:21.440><c> in</c><00:29:21.680><c> heaven</c><00:29:21.839><c> will</c><00:29:22.059><c> give</c><00:29:22.180><c> you</c>

00:29:24.720 --> 00:29:27.519

Just<00:29:30.180><c> as</c><00:29:30.339><c> we</c><00:29:30.500><c> can't</c><00:29:30.759><c> always</c><00:29:31.079><c> give</c><00:29:31.220><c> our</c><00:29:31.500><c> children</c><00:29:31.839><c> all</c><00:29:32.299><c> the</c>

00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:43.779
So<00:29:39.480><c> God</c><00:29:40.019><c> will</c><00:29:40.500><c> act</c><00:29:40.759><c> in</c><00:29:40.940><c> the</c><00:29:41.079><c> same</c><00:29:41.359><c> way</c><00:29:41.740><c> and</c><00:29:42.079><c> more</c><00:29:42.359><c> perfectly</c><00:29:42.859><c> toward</c><00:29:43.400><c> us</c>

00:29:43.779 --> 00:29:44.740
who<00:29:43.920><c> are</c><00:29:44.059><c> his</c><00:29:44.259><c> children,</c>

00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:48.579
giving<00:29:45.140><c> us</c><00:29:45.359><c> what</c><00:29:45.500><c> we</c><00:29:45.720><c> need,</c><00:29:46.339><c> not</c><00:29:46.519><c> necessarily</c><00:29:47.059><c> everything</c><00:29:47.400><c> we</c><00:29:47.740><c> want,</c>

00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:53.460
but<00:29:48.740><c> what</c><00:29:48.940><c> we</c><00:29:49.160><c> need</c><00:29:49.380><c> to</c><00:29:49.700><c> sustain</c><00:29:50.000><c> us</c><00:29:50.660><c> physically</c><00:29:51.140><c> and</c><00:29:52.019><c> spiritually</c><00:29:52.619><c> in</c><00:29:53.140><c> our</c>

00:29:58.759 --> 00:30:05.000
Then<00:29:59.140><c> in</c><00:29:59.400><c> verse</c><00:29:59.759><c> 12,</c><00:30:02.160><c> Jesus</c><00:30:02.500><c> gives</c><00:30:02.779><c> something</c><00:30:03.279><c> of</c><00:30:03.799><c> a</c><00:30:04.279><c> summary</c><00:30:04.500><c> verse,</c>

00:30:05.000 --> 00:30:07.900
it<00:30:05.140><c> seems</c><00:30:05.380><c> to</c><00:30:05.559><c> me,</c><00:30:05.720><c> for</c><00:30:05.900><c> a</c><00:30:06.079><c> lot</c><00:30:06.200><c> of</c><00:30:06.279><c> what</c><00:30:06.420><c> he</c><00:30:06.680><c> said</c><00:30:07.099><c> in</c><00:30:07.519><c> chapters</c>

00:30:07.900 --> 00:30:10.259

00:30:10.339 --> 00:30:14.640
Therefore,<00:30:10.779><c> he</c><00:30:10.980><c> says,</c><00:30:11.720><c> all</c><00:30:11.859><c> things</c><00:30:12.200><c> whatsoever</c><00:30:12.680><c> ye</c><00:30:13.039><c> would</c><00:30:13.339><c> that</c><00:30:13.779><c> men</c><00:30:14.099><c> should</c><00:30:14.359><c> do</c>

00:30:15.779 --> 00:30:22.240
do<00:30:15.980><c> ye</c><00:30:16.259><c> even</c><00:30:16.799><c> so</c><00:30:17.119><c> to</c><00:30:17.400><c> them,</c><00:30:19.000><c> for</c><00:30:19.259><c> this</c><00:30:19.700><c> is</c><00:30:20.019><c> the</c><00:30:20.220><c> law</c><00:30:20.660><c> and</c><00:30:21.059><c> the</c><00:30:21.380><c> prophets.</c>

00:30:25.799 --> 00:30:29.220
What<00:30:26.440><c> he's</c><00:30:26.720><c> saying</c><00:30:26.960><c> is</c><00:30:27.279><c> this</c><00:30:27.579><c> is</c><00:30:28.000><c> the</c><00:30:28.339><c> whole</c><00:30:28.779><c> law.</c>

00:30:29.599 --> 00:30:32.660
Everything<00:30:30.039><c> that</c><00:30:30.299><c> I've</c><00:30:30.519><c> been</c><00:30:30.779><c> saying</c><00:30:30.960><c> to</c><00:30:31.200><c> you</c><00:30:31.440><c> is</c><00:30:31.799><c> comprehended</c><00:30:32.339><c> in</c><00:30:32.500><c> this</c>

00:30:32.660 --> 00:30:33.779
rather<00:30:32.920><c> simple</c><00:30:33.299><c> statement.</c>

00:30:33.779 --> 00:30:38.880
Do<00:30:34.420><c> unto</c><00:30:34.740><c> others</c><00:30:35.319><c> as</c><00:30:35.680><c> you</c><00:30:35.880><c> would</c><00:30:36.119><c> have</c><00:30:36.339><c> them</c><00:30:36.619><c> do</c><00:30:37.140><c> unto</c><00:30:37.740><c> you.</c>

00:30:39.259 --> 00:30:42.500
He<00:30:39.380><c> puts</c><00:30:39.579><c> it</c><00:30:39.759><c> in</c><00:30:39.940><c> a</c><00:30:40.000><c> slightly</c><00:30:40.240><c> different</c><00:30:40.599><c> way</c><00:30:40.859><c> in</c><00:30:41.000><c> Matthew</c><00:30:41.339><c> chapter</c><00:30:41.759><c> 22</c>

00:30:42.500 --> 00:30:44.180
when<00:30:42.920><c> he</c><00:30:43.140><c> says,</c>

00:30:44.700 --> 00:30:47.380
