Perfect,<00:00:28.660><c> Brother</c><00:00:28.839><c> Dave.</c>

00:00:41.500 --> 00:00:44.060

00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:45.299
Good<00:00:44.479><c> morning.</c>

00:00:45.859 --> 00:00:47.320
Did<00:00:46.420><c> you</c><00:00:46.640><c> sleep</c><00:00:46.880><c> well?</c>

00:00:47.780 --> 00:00:48.380
Yes.

00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:50.960
You<00:00:48.859><c> are</c><00:00:49.159><c> tired.</c><00:00:49.600><c> You</c><00:00:49.719><c> know</c><00:00:49.840><c> how</c><00:00:50.119><c> I</c><00:00:50.259><c> know</c><00:00:50.380><c> you're</c><00:00:50.560><c> tired?</c>

00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:53.759
You're<00:00:51.619><c> taking</c><00:00:51.840><c> longer</c><00:00:52.159><c> to</c><00:00:52.340><c> get</c><00:00:52.439><c> into</c><00:00:52.659><c> the</c><00:00:52.859><c> classes.</c>

00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:58.460
So<00:00:55.399><c> it</c><00:00:55.479><c> means</c><00:00:55.700><c> you're</c><00:00:55.880><c> a</c><00:00:55.939><c> little</c><00:00:56.119><c> bit</c><00:00:56.439><c> more</c><00:00:56.679><c> easily</c><00:00:57.060><c> distracted</c><00:00:57.740><c> and</c><00:00:58.060><c> so</c><00:00:58.240><c> on.</c>

00:00:58.619 --> 00:01:02.719
And<00:00:58.799><c> this</c><00:00:58.960><c> is</c><00:00:59.259><c> past</c><00:00:59.479><c> the</c><00:00:59.780><c> halfway</c><00:01:00.000><c> point</c><00:01:00.259><c> for</c><00:01:00.399><c> the</c><00:01:00.539><c> Bible</c><00:01:00.759><c> school</c><00:01:00.979><c> anyway,</c><00:01:01.320><c> so</c><00:01:01.539><c> people</c><00:01:01.840><c> do</c><00:01:02.159><c> begin</c><00:01:02.380><c> to</c><00:01:02.539><c> get</c><00:01:02.640><c> a</c>

00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:04.200
little<00:01:02.880><c> tired</c><00:01:03.200><c> now.</c>

00:01:05.459 --> 00:01:12.920
Yesterday,<00:01:05.980><c> we</c><00:01:06.500><c> missed</c><00:01:07.060><c> the</c><00:01:07.400><c> opportunity</c><00:01:07.920><c> to</c><00:01:08.200><c> talk</c><00:01:08.480><c> about</c><00:01:08.920><c> Abraham</c><00:01:09.620><c> and</c><00:01:10.079><c> Rahab,</c><00:01:10.700><c> and</c><00:01:10.859><c> it's</c><00:01:11.260><c> not</c><00:01:11.500><c> very</c><00:01:11.760><c> much</c><00:01:12.019><c> that</c><00:01:12.659><c> I</c>

00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:13.540
have<00:01:13.180><c> to</c><00:01:13.359><c> say.</c>

00:01:13.780 --> 00:01:14.760
It'll<00:01:14.140><c> be</c><00:01:14.379><c> simple.</c>

00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:18.299
The<00:01:15.519><c> passage</c><00:01:16.140><c> that</c><00:01:16.780><c> we're</c><00:01:16.959><c> going</c><00:01:17.200><c> to</c><00:01:17.400><c> look</c><00:01:17.579><c> at</c><00:01:17.719><c> for</c><00:01:17.959><c> a</c><00:01:18.120><c> second</c>

00:01:18.299 --> 00:01:23.620
or<00:01:18.540><c> two</c><00:01:18.939><c> is</c><00:01:19.700><c> from</c><00:01:20.079><c> verse</c><00:01:20.359><c> 14</c><00:01:21.079><c> through</c><00:01:21.859><c> to</c><00:01:22.079><c> the</c><00:01:22.359><c> end.</c>

00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.260
We<00:01:24.280><c> looked</c><00:01:24.459><c> at</c><00:01:24.659><c> the</c><00:01:24.840><c> fact</c><00:01:25.060><c> that</c><00:01:25.439><c> we</c><00:01:25.620><c> are</c><00:01:25.840><c> to</c><00:01:25.980><c> be</c><00:01:26.239><c> judged</c><00:01:26.680><c> by</c><00:01:26.959><c> the</c>

00:01:27.260 --> 00:01:28.439
law<00:01:27.659><c> of</c><00:01:28.079><c> liberty.</c>

00:01:28.579 --> 00:01:29.640
Now,<00:01:28.700><c> let's</c><00:01:28.840><c> go</c><00:01:28.980><c> back</c><00:01:29.140><c> to</c><00:01:29.280><c> that</c><00:01:29.400><c> again.</c>

00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.340
The<00:01:29.859><c> law</c><00:01:30.099><c> of</c><00:01:30.239><c> liberty</c><00:01:30.560><c> phrase</c><00:01:30.920><c> back</c><00:01:31.200><c> in</c><00:01:31.379><c> Galatians</c><00:01:31.760><c> chapter</c><00:01:32.099><c> five.</c>

00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:35.420
Remember<00:01:34.079><c> what</c><00:01:34.280><c> it</c><00:01:34.560><c> said.</c>

00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:42.500
It<00:01:36.079><c> said</c><00:01:36.480><c> that</c><00:01:36.939><c> with</c><00:01:37.379><c> freedom,</c><00:01:40.819><c> Christ</c><00:01:41.260><c> freed</c><00:01:41.540><c> us,</c><00:01:42.400><c> brought</c>

00:01:42.500 --> 00:01:43.439
us<00:01:42.739><c> to</c><00:01:43.019><c> freedom.</c>

00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:47.180
With<00:01:44.159><c> freedom</c><00:01:44.620><c> did</c><00:01:45.079><c> Christ</c><00:01:45.400><c> set</c><00:01:45.640><c> us</c><00:01:45.840><c> free,</c><00:01:46.579><c> verse</c><00:01:46.780><c> one.</c>

00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:52.480
Then<00:01:47.680><c> verse</c><00:01:47.980><c> three,</c><00:01:48.739><c> for</c><00:01:48.879><c> ye</c><00:01:49.120><c> brethren</c><00:01:49.439><c> were</c><00:01:49.739><c> called</c><00:01:49.939><c> for</c><00:01:50.299><c> freedom,</c><00:01:51.140><c> only</c><00:01:51.799><c> use</c>

00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.980
not<00:01:52.760><c> your</c><00:01:53.120><c> freedom</c><00:01:53.620><c> for</c><00:01:54.780><c> an</c><00:01:55.060><c> occasion</c><00:01:55.400><c> to</c><00:01:55.659><c> the</c><00:01:56.019><c> flesh,</c>

00:01:57.140 --> 00:02:02.519
but<00:01:57.439><c> through</c><00:01:58.120><c> love</c><00:01:59.120><c> be</c><00:02:00.099><c> slaves</c><00:02:01.239><c> one</c><00:02:01.939><c> to</c><00:02:02.200><c> another.</c>

00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.120
For<00:02:03.000><c> the</c><00:02:03.200><c> whole</c><00:02:03.379><c> law</c><00:02:03.640><c> is</c><00:02:03.879><c> fulfilled</c><00:02:04.180><c> in</c><00:02:04.519><c> one</c><00:02:05.060><c> saying,</c><00:02:05.379><c> one</c><00:02:05.579><c> expression.</c>

00:02:06.500 --> 00:02:09.800
Even<00:02:06.739><c> this,</c><00:02:07.519><c> thou</c><00:02:07.680><c> shalt</c><00:02:07.980><c> love</c><00:02:08.479><c> thy</c><00:02:08.759><c> neighbor</c><00:02:09.099><c> as</c><00:02:09.379><c> thyself.</c>

00:02:09.860 --> 00:02:12.060
That's<00:02:10.259><c> exactly</c><00:02:10.680><c> what</c><00:02:10.879><c> James</c><00:02:11.139><c> was</c><00:02:11.460><c> just</c><00:02:11.740><c> saying.</c>

00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:18.400
But<00:02:13.199><c> if</c><00:02:14.400><c> ye</c><00:02:14.699><c> bite</c><00:02:15.080><c> and</c><00:02:15.439><c> devour</c><00:02:15.900><c> one</c><00:02:16.180><c> another,</c><00:02:17.819><c> that's</c><00:02:18.039><c> if</c><00:02:18.120><c> you</c>

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:22.139
tear<00:02:18.659><c> each</c><00:02:18.939><c> other</c><00:02:19.099><c> up</c><00:02:19.319><c> like</c><00:02:19.680><c> wild</c><00:02:20.020><c> animals,</c><00:02:20.699><c> like</c><00:02:21.000><c> dogs,</c>

00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:29.060
take<00:02:23.139><c> heed</c><00:02:23.680><c> that</c><00:02:24.460><c> ye</c><00:02:24.639><c> be</c><00:02:24.819><c> not</c><00:02:25.180><c> destroyed</c><00:02:26.219><c> one</c><00:02:27.419><c> of</c><00:02:28.139><c> another.</c>

00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:37.180
So<00:02:32.919><c> the</c><00:02:33.120><c> opposite</c><00:02:33.580><c> then</c><00:02:34.039><c> of</c><00:02:34.800><c> loving</c><00:02:35.240><c> each</c><00:02:35.759><c> other</c><00:02:36.180><c> as</c><00:02:36.639><c> slaves</c>

00:02:37.180 --> 00:02:42.240
is<00:02:38.400><c> ecclesial</c><00:02:38.900><c> strife</c><00:02:39.780><c> and</c><00:02:40.719><c> contention,</c>

00:02:51.419 --> 00:02:56.500
When<00:02:51.639><c> we</c><00:02:51.819><c> have</c><00:02:52.060><c> that,</c><00:02:54.039><c> then</c><00:02:54.039><c> the</c><00:02:54.280><c> heart,</c><00:02:54.879><c> the</c><00:02:55.199><c> soul,</c><00:02:55.759><c> the</c><00:02:55.840><c> center</c><00:02:56.199><c> of</c>

our<00:02:56.699><c> ecclesia</c><00:02:57.080><c> is</c><00:02:57.780><c> rotten.</c>

00:02:59.039 --> 00:03:02.460
It's<00:02:59.520><c> not</c><00:02:59.780><c> filled</c><00:03:00.240><c> with</c><00:03:00.699><c> godly</c><00:03:01.139><c> principles,</c><00:03:01.659><c> with</c><00:03:01.939><c> the</c><00:03:02.180><c> word</c>

of<00:03:02.759><c> God.</c>

00:03:05.460 --> 00:03:07.199
That's<00:03:05.659><c> what</c><00:03:05.759><c> it's</c><00:03:05.979><c> saying,</c><00:03:06.280><c> isn't</c><00:03:06.439><c> it?</c>

do<00:12:09.740><c> not</c><00:12:09.919><c> be</c><00:12:10.159><c> so</c><00:12:10.519><c> foolhardy</c><00:12:11.100><c> as</c><00:12:11.220><c> to</c><00:12:11.600><c> idealize</c><00:12:12.059><c> them.</c>

00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:16.279

00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:18.019
it's<00:12:16.559><c> pathetic</c><00:12:16.919><c> sometimes.</c>

00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:21.980
Oh,<00:12:18.840><c> you're</c><00:12:19.240><c> Jewish?</c><00:12:21.100><c> Oh.</c>

godless<00:12:38.440><c> people.</c>

00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:43.960
One<00:12:40.840><c> of</c><00:12:40.980><c> their</c><00:12:41.159><c> prime</c><00:12:41.419><c> ministers</c><00:12:42.019><c> was</c><00:12:42.600><c> being</c><00:12:42.919><c> interviewed,</c>

00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:54.399
So<00:12:52.019><c> when</c><00:12:52.240><c> you</c><00:12:52.440><c> have</c><00:12:52.600><c> this</c><00:12:52.840><c> sort</c><00:12:52.980><c> of</c><00:12:53.240><c> hazy</c><00:12:53.639><c> little</c><00:12:53.960><c> notion</c><00:12:54.200><c> in</c>

00:12:56.860 --> 00:12:59.879

00:13:00.220 --> 00:13:03.919
until<00:13:00.740><c> something</c><00:13:01.139><c> else</c><00:13:01.460><c> occurs,</c><00:13:02.519><c> right?</c>

00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:07.139
For<00:13:05.200><c> us,</c><00:13:05.799><c> for</c><00:13:06.019><c> our</c><00:13:06.259><c> sake,</c>

00:13:07.379 --> 00:13:12.720

00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:15.559
you<00:13:13.879><c> know,</c><00:13:14.279><c> very</c><00:13:14.539><c> resilient</c><00:13:15.019><c> people,</c>

00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:17.279
but<00:13:15.899><c> they're</c><00:13:16.240><c> all</c><00:13:16.519><c> those</c><00:13:16.740><c> other</c><00:13:17.000><c> things.</c>

00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:18.740
Don't<00:13:17.919><c> idealize</c><00:13:18.559><c> them.</c>

00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:22.039
Still<00:13:19.360><c> don't</c><00:13:20.100><c> disrespect</c><00:13:20.740><c> them</c>

00:13:22.419 --> 00:13:23.899

00:13:24.019 --> 00:13:26.059
because<00:13:24.320><c> they</c><00:13:24.600><c> are</c><00:13:24.779><c> God's</c><00:13:25.259><c> chosen</c><00:13:25.440><c> people,</c>

00:13:26.340 --> 00:13:30.279

00:13:30.460 --> 00:13:32.860
But<00:13:30.620><c> they'd</c><00:13:30.980><c> just</c><00:13:31.200><c> as</c><00:13:31.399><c> soon</c><00:13:31.919><c> spit</c><00:13:32.519><c> on</c><00:13:32.720><c> you</c>

00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:39.320

00:13:52.120 --> 00:13:53.740
That's<00:13:52.399><c> one</c><00:13:52.519><c> of</c><00:13:52.600><c> the</c><00:13:52.659><c> reasons</c><00:13:52.899><c> why</c><00:13:53.080><c> I</c><00:13:53.200><c> have</c><00:13:53.399><c> no,</c>

00:14:02.360 --> 00:14:03.980
It<00:14:02.360><c> would</c><00:14:02.539><c> break</c><00:14:02.740><c> my</c><00:14:03.000><c> heart.</c>

00:14:05.320 --> 00:14:08.159

We<00:14:49.019><c> do</c><00:14:49.179><c> a</c><00:14:49.340><c> stupid</c><00:14:49.639><c> thing</c><00:14:50.259><c> in</c><00:14:50.519><c> the</c><00:14:50.659><c> Brotherhood.</c>

00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.720
We<00:14:52.799><c> put</c><00:14:53.179><c> brethren</c><00:14:53.600><c> on</c><00:14:54.120><c> pedestals</c><00:14:55.080><c> and</c><00:14:55.500><c> keep</c><00:14:55.899><c> them</c><00:14:56.120><c> on</c><00:14:56.360><c> pedestals,</c>

00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.399
and<00:14:57.440><c> delight</c><00:14:57.799><c> in</c><00:14:58.019><c> throwing</c><00:14:58.279><c> them</c><00:14:58.460><c> under</c><00:14:58.820><c> pedestals</c>

00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:02.440
when<00:14:59.759><c> they</c><00:15:00.240><c> demonstrate</c><00:15:00.759><c> themselves</c><00:15:01.220><c> to</c><00:15:01.419><c> be</c><00:15:01.659><c> human,</c>

00:15:02.740 --> 00:15:04.700
flawed<00:15:03.000><c> and</c><00:15:03.279><c> failing</c><00:15:03.600><c> creatures.</c>

00:15:06.659 --> 00:15:09.740
We<00:15:07.059><c> think,</c><00:15:07.299><c> oh,</c><00:15:08.179><c> such</c><00:15:08.360><c> and</c><00:15:08.559><c> such</c><00:15:08.720><c> is</c><00:15:08.980><c> speaking</c><00:15:09.220><c> at</c><00:15:09.440><c> this</c><00:15:09.559><c> and</c>

00:15:09.740 --> 00:15:10.419
that<00:15:10.139><c> place.</c>

00:15:10.600 --> 00:15:12.279
Oh,<00:15:10.720><c> he's</c><00:15:10.879><c> my</c><00:15:11.059><c> favorite</c><00:15:11.480><c> speaker.</c>

00:15:13.700 --> 00:15:17.000
It's<00:15:14.259><c> foolish.</c><00:15:15.019><c> It</c><00:15:15.200><c> really</c><00:15:15.500><c> is,</c><00:15:16.500><c> you</c><00:15:16.500><c> know.</c>

00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:19.220
You<00:15:17.639><c> know</c><00:15:17.700><c> what</c><00:15:17.759><c> the</c><00:15:17.919><c> best</c><00:15:18.139><c> thing</c><00:15:18.340><c> is?</c>

00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:23.019
When<00:15:20.740><c> you</c><00:15:20.860><c> can</c><00:15:21.120><c> remember</c><00:15:21.580><c> something</c><00:15:22.080><c> that</c><00:15:22.340><c> somebody</c><00:15:22.659><c> pointed</c>

00:15:23.019 --> 00:15:24.639
out<00:15:23.299><c> to</c><00:15:23.500><c> you</c><00:15:23.860><c> in</c><00:15:24.279><c> Scripture,</c>

00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:28.139
and<00:15:24.799><c> you</c><00:15:24.940><c> have</c><00:15:25.340><c> no</c><00:15:25.820><c> idea</c><00:15:26.480><c> who</c><00:15:27.019><c> said</c><00:15:27.159><c> it.</c>

00:15:29.100 --> 00:15:31.200
That's<00:15:29.399><c> when</c><00:15:29.539><c> we</c><00:15:29.720><c> have</c><00:15:29.899><c> done</c><00:15:30.080><c> our</c><00:15:30.379><c> job.</c>

00:15:31.419 --> 00:15:34.340
And<00:15:31.620><c> don't</c><00:15:31.820><c> tell</c><00:15:32.019><c> us</c><00:15:32.200><c> when</c><00:15:32.299><c> we</c><00:15:32.480><c> get</c><00:15:32.600><c> off</c><00:15:32.759><c> the</c><00:15:32.960><c> platform</c><00:15:33.220><c> how</c><00:15:33.460><c> wonderful</c><00:15:33.919><c> it</c><00:15:34.179><c> was,</c>

00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:35.899
and<00:15:34.899><c> you</c><00:15:35.059><c> think</c><00:15:35.259><c> we're</c><00:15:35.519><c> such</c><00:15:35.700><c> wonderful.</c>

00:15:35.940 --> 00:15:38.580
Don't<00:15:36.340><c> tell</c><00:15:36.620><c> us</c><00:15:36.779><c> that.</c><00:15:36.860><c> It's</c><00:15:37.019><c> not</c><00:15:37.200><c> good</c><00:15:37.399><c> for</c><00:15:37.580><c> us.</c>

00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:42.480
We're<00:15:39.320><c> made</c><00:15:39.519><c> of</c><00:15:39.720><c> flesh</c><00:15:39.940><c> and</c><00:15:40.200><c> blood,</c><00:15:40.419><c> and</c><00:15:40.580><c> it's</c><00:15:40.960><c> bad</c><00:15:41.240><c> for</c><00:15:41.480><c> us.</c>

00:15:43.019 --> 00:15:43.799
And<00:15:43.080><c> it's</c><00:15:43.480><c> bad</c><00:15:43.600><c> enough.</c>

00:15:44.100 --> 00:15:46.200
Robert<00:15:44.480><c> Roberts</c><00:15:44.799><c> said</c><00:15:45.019><c> once,</c><00:15:45.299><c> you</c><00:15:45.419><c> know,</c>

00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:49.100
he<00:15:46.899><c> got</c><00:15:47.139><c> down</c><00:15:47.320><c> from</c><00:15:47.519><c> the</c><00:15:47.720><c> platform</c><00:15:48.080><c> after</c><00:15:48.360><c> giving</c><00:15:48.620><c> a</c><00:15:48.879><c> talk,</c>

00:15:49.480 --> 00:15:50.419
and<00:15:49.659><c> somebody</c><00:15:49.980><c> said,</c>

00:15:50.779 --> 00:15:52.559
Brother<00:15:51.139><c> Roberts,</c><00:15:51.559><c> that</c><00:15:51.820><c> was</c><00:15:52.039><c> so</c><00:15:52.480><c> good.</c>

00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:53.820
And<00:15:52.559><c> somebody</c><00:15:52.639><c> said,</c><00:15:52.980><c> yes,</c><00:15:53.100><c> I</c><00:15:53.259><c> already</c><00:15:53.559><c> know</c><00:15:53.679><c> that.</c>

00:15:53.940 --> 00:15:56.059
The<00:15:54.039><c> devil</c><00:15:54.220><c> already</c><00:15:54.600><c> told</c><00:15:54.820><c> me.</c>

00:16:01.980 --> 00:16:03.000
Right<00:16:02.500><c> then.</c>

00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:07.279
So<00:16:04.059><c> we</c><00:16:04.960><c> are</c><00:16:05.539><c> flawed</c><00:16:05.840><c> and</c><00:16:06.419><c> failing.</c>

00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:10.000
We<00:16:08.019><c> have</c><00:16:08.179><c> to</c><00:16:08.360><c> struggle</c><00:16:08.700><c> through</c><00:16:08.960><c> marriage</c><00:16:09.379><c> problems</c>

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.100
and<00:16:10.259><c> problems</c><00:16:10.620><c> with</c><00:16:10.860><c> our</c><00:16:11.179><c> kids,</c>

00:16:12.139 --> 00:16:13.940
just<00:16:12.480><c> like</c><00:16:12.740><c> you</c><00:16:13.000><c> do.</c>

00:16:14.179 --> 00:16:15.860
And<00:16:14.360><c> you</c><00:16:14.480><c> know,</c><00:16:14.759><c> in</c><00:16:14.940><c> a</c><00:16:15.080><c> way,</c>

00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:19.620
this<00:16:16.440><c> idolization</c><00:16:18.179><c> of</c><00:16:18.539><c> speakers,</c>

00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:22.940
where<00:16:20.120><c> they</c><00:16:20.379><c> become</c><00:16:20.700><c> almost</c><00:16:20.980><c> like</c><00:16:21.419><c> pop</c><00:16:21.759><c> stars,</c>

00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:24.799
foolish<00:16:23.340><c> as</c><00:16:23.559><c> it</c><00:16:23.820><c> seems,</c>

00:16:25.059 --> 00:16:26.500
and<00:16:25.220><c> particularly</c><00:16:25.720><c> in</c><00:16:25.899><c> North</c><00:16:26.139><c> America,</c>

00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.620
because<00:16:26.840><c> we</c><00:16:27.039><c> are</c><00:16:27.179><c> people</c><00:16:27.480><c> that</c><00:16:28.299><c> adore</c><00:16:28.740><c> entertainment</c><00:16:29.519><c> and</c><00:16:29.840><c> entertainers.</c>

00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:35.580
That<00:16:32.820><c> is</c><00:16:33.159><c> a</c><00:16:33.519><c> distancing</c><00:16:34.039><c> that</c><00:16:34.320><c> we</c><00:16:34.519><c> do</c><00:16:34.740><c> from</c><00:16:35.039><c> ourselves.</c>

00:16:36.039 --> 00:16:38.340
You<00:16:36.360><c> are</c><00:16:36.600><c> the</c><00:16:36.840><c> brother</c><00:16:37.059><c> up</c><00:16:37.419><c> there</c><00:16:37.559><c> on</c><00:16:37.700><c> the</c><00:16:37.940><c> platform</c>

00:16:38.340 --> 00:16:40.399

00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:43.940
and<00:16:42.500><c> you're</c><00:16:42.799><c> such</c><00:16:42.960><c> a</c><00:16:43.200><c> wonderful</c><00:16:43.580><c> brother,</c>

00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:46.159

00:16:46.159 --> 00:16:47.779
but<00:16:46.320><c> you</c><00:16:46.460><c> know,</c><00:16:46.559><c> I'm</c><00:16:46.740><c> never</c><00:16:46.919><c> even</c><00:16:47.179><c> going</c><00:16:47.279><c> to</c><00:16:47.399><c> have</c><00:16:47.500><c> to</c><00:16:47.620><c> worry</c>

00:16:47.779 --> 00:16:48.299
about<00:16:48.019><c> trying</c>

00:16:48.299 --> 00:16:50.299
because<00:16:48.519><c> I'm</c><00:16:48.700><c> not</c><00:16:48.879><c> like</c><00:16:49.100><c> you.</c>

00:16:51.639 --> 00:16:54.059
But<00:16:51.940><c> you</c><00:16:52.179><c> are</c><00:16:52.360><c> just</c><00:16:52.580><c> like</c><00:16:52.759><c> me,</c>

00:16:54.980 --> 00:16:56.259

00:16:59.500 --> 00:17:02.159
We<00:16:59.919><c> make</c><00:17:00.460><c> mistakes</c><00:17:01.100><c> and</c><00:17:01.360><c> have</c><00:17:01.620><c> problems,</c>

00:17:05.359 --> 00:17:06.559
and<00:17:05.559><c> happy</c><00:17:05.819><c> within</c><00:17:06.000><c> ourselves.</c>

00:17:06.619 --> 00:17:07.019
It<00:17:06.819><c> does.</c>

00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:09.200
It<00:17:07.180><c> has</c><00:17:07.279><c> a</c><00:17:07.380><c> wonderful</c><00:17:07.799><c> happiness</c><00:17:08.319><c> and</c><00:17:08.500><c> the</c><00:17:08.680><c> peace</c><00:17:08.819><c> and</c><00:17:08.960><c> the</c><00:17:09.079><c> joy,</c>

00:17:09.680 --> 00:17:11.319
but<00:17:09.680><c> it</c><00:17:10.180><c> doesn't</c><00:17:10.539><c> leave</c><00:17:10.740><c> us</c><00:17:10.980><c> comfortable</c>

00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:13.519
with<00:17:11.519><c> ourselves</c><00:17:11.880><c> one</c><00:17:12.160><c> little</c><00:17:12.519><c> bit.</c>

00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:15.799
All<00:17:15.079><c> right</c><00:17:15.279><c> then.</c>

00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:19.960
So<00:17:16.380><c> don't</c><00:17:17.099><c> put</c><00:17:17.599><c> teachers</c><00:17:18.019><c> on</c><00:17:18.640><c> pedestals.</c>

00:17:20.200 --> 00:17:21.779

00:17:23.619 --> 00:17:26.700
It<00:17:24.019><c> contributed</c><00:17:24.579><c> to</c><00:17:25.059><c> the</c><00:17:25.460><c> destructive</c><00:17:26.019><c> strife</c>

Okay.

00:17:41.740 --> 00:17:44.140

All<00:18:07.619><c> that's</c><00:18:08.680><c> true,</c>

00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:11.599

00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:16.500
What<00:18:13.279><c> if</c><00:18:13.660><c> nobody</c><00:18:14.279><c> was</c><00:18:14.740><c> willing</c><00:18:15.119><c> to</c><00:18:15.519><c> teach?</c>

00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:18.400

00:18:24.619 --> 00:18:27.059
What<00:18:24.960><c> if</c><00:18:25.019><c> there</c><00:18:25.180><c> was</c><00:18:25.339><c> nobody</c><00:18:25.599><c> to</c><00:18:25.819><c> give</c><00:18:25.940><c> any</c><00:18:26.480><c> study</c><00:18:26.759><c> days</c>

00:18:29.859 --> 00:18:32.079
What<00:18:30.059><c> would</c><00:18:30.220><c> that</c><00:18:30.480><c> do</c><00:18:30.720><c> to</c><00:18:30.900><c> our</c><00:18:31.099><c> community?</c>

00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:36.359
These<00:18:33.720><c> are</c><00:18:33.980><c> times</c><00:18:34.240><c> where</c><00:18:34.440><c> we</c><00:18:34.640><c> are</c><00:18:35.019><c> united</c><00:18:35.539><c> together</c>

00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:39.200
and<00:18:37.079><c> have</c><00:18:37.240><c> the</c><00:18:37.440><c> chance</c><00:18:37.579><c> to</c><00:18:37.779><c> have</c><00:18:38.039><c> fellowship</c><00:18:38.400><c> with</c><00:18:38.640><c> each</c><00:18:38.859><c> other</c>

00:18:39.200 --> 00:18:40.680
and<00:18:39.599><c> exchange</c><00:18:40.119><c> thoughts,</c>

00:18:41.140 --> 00:18:42.559
listen<00:18:41.380><c> to</c><00:18:41.559><c> somebody</c><00:18:41.859><c> else's</c><00:18:42.400><c> thoughts,</c>

00:18:42.619 --> 00:18:45.240
but<00:18:42.740><c> listen</c><00:18:42.960><c> to</c><00:18:43.140><c> the</c><00:18:43.400><c> Word</c><00:18:43.759><c> of</c><00:18:44.220><c> God.</c>

00:18:46.279 --> 00:18:48.759
That's<00:18:46.680><c> what</c><00:18:46.779><c> teachers</c><00:18:47.119><c> can</c><00:18:47.380><c> do</c><00:18:47.500><c> for</c><00:18:47.700><c> us.</c>

00:18:49.420 --> 00:18:51.519
But<00:18:49.839><c> it</c><00:18:50.220><c> is</c><00:18:50.779><c> possible,</c>

00:18:51.940 --> 00:18:54.779
because<00:18:52.500><c> we</c><00:18:52.759><c> are</c><00:18:52.940><c> so</c><00:18:53.279><c> full</c><00:18:53.500><c> of</c><00:18:53.779><c> pride,</c>

00:18:55.180 --> 00:19:00.299
for<00:18:55.319><c> us</c><00:18:55.559><c> to</c><00:18:55.799><c> get</c><00:18:56.019><c> on</c><00:18:56.880><c> the</c><00:18:58.839><c> wheel</c><00:18:59.500><c> of</c>

00:19:00.299 --> 00:19:02.799
unlimited<00:19:01.319><c> speaking</c><00:19:01.819><c> appointments</c><00:19:02.319><c> everywhere,</c>

00:19:02.839 --> 00:19:04.740
and<00:19:02.940><c> that's</c><00:19:03.200><c> a</c><00:19:03.279><c> danger,</c><00:19:03.700><c> and</c><00:19:03.839><c> we</c><00:19:03.880><c> have</c><00:19:04.019><c> to</c><00:19:04.140><c> learn</c><00:19:04.259><c> to</c><00:19:04.500><c> say,</c>

00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:06.480
well,<00:19:05.359><c> no,</c><00:19:05.539><c> I</c><00:19:05.619><c> can't</c><00:19:05.920><c> do</c><00:19:06.119><c> everything.</c>

00:19:06.480 --> 00:19:09.920
So<00:19:07.259><c> every</c><00:19:07.539><c> family</c><00:19:07.799><c> has</c><00:19:08.039><c> its</c><00:19:08.359><c> system,</c><00:19:08.880><c> its</c><00:19:09.160><c> limit,</c>

00:19:09.940 --> 00:19:12.160
its<00:19:10.380><c> parameters</c><00:19:10.920><c> of</c><00:19:11.160><c> how</c><00:19:11.380><c> much</c><00:19:11.559><c> is</c><00:19:11.799><c> enough</c>

00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:14.279
and<00:19:12.539><c> how</c><00:19:12.720><c> much</c><00:19:12.900><c> is</c><00:19:13.059><c> too</c><00:19:13.240><c> much.</c>

00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:18.259
The<00:19:16.579><c> paradox</c><00:19:16.940><c> is,</c><00:19:17.200><c> the</c><00:19:17.400><c> irony</c><00:19:17.700><c> is,</c>

00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:21.220

00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:26.299
that<00:19:24.819><c> have</c><00:19:24.940><c> been</c><00:19:25.220><c> telling</c><00:19:25.380><c> them</c><00:19:25.599><c> these</c><00:19:25.799><c> kinds</c><00:19:26.039><c> of</c><00:19:26.160><c> things</c>

00:19:26.299 --> 00:19:31.339

00:19:32.019 --> 00:19:34.799
these<00:19:32.500><c> are</c><00:19:33.019><c> young</c><00:19:33.279><c> men</c><00:19:33.480><c> that</c><00:19:33.640><c> are</c><00:19:33.799><c> becoming</c><00:19:34.200><c> workaholics</c>

by<00:20:03.119><c> an</c><00:20:03.380><c> older</c><00:20:03.660><c> brother</c><00:20:03.960><c> in</c><00:20:04.119><c> the</c><00:20:04.279><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:20:06.099 --> 00:20:08.180
You<00:20:06.579><c> can</c><00:20:06.880><c> tolerate</c><00:20:07.200><c> that</c><00:20:07.460><c> and</c><00:20:07.619><c> understand</c><00:20:07.940><c> that.</c>

00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:09.720
It's<00:20:08.519><c> a</c><00:20:08.519><c> silly</c><00:20:08.660><c> irony.</c>

00:20:10.579 --> 00:20:11.920
Oh,<00:20:10.859><c> you</c><00:20:11.019><c> have</c><00:20:11.220><c> to</c><00:20:11.319><c> do</c><00:20:11.440><c> that</c><00:20:11.599><c> for</c><00:20:11.779><c> work.</c>

00:20:12.059 --> 00:20:13.779
It<00:20:12.059><c> can't</c><00:20:12.319><c> be</c><00:20:12.500><c> helped,</c><00:20:12.779><c> you</c><00:20:13.039><c> see.</c>

00:20:14.099 --> 00:20:17.059
I've<00:20:14.519><c> seen</c><00:20:14.759><c> it.</c><00:20:15.000><c> I've</c><00:20:15.460><c> been</c><00:20:15.900><c> there.</c>

00:20:17.819 --> 00:20:20.079
And<00:20:18.079><c> yet,</c><00:20:19.380><c> there'll</c><00:20:19.440><c> be</c><00:20:19.599><c> a</c><00:20:19.720><c> second</c><00:20:19.880><c> look</c>

00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:22.059
if<00:20:20.200><c> you</c><00:20:20.339><c> have</c><00:20:20.480><c> to</c><00:20:20.599><c> do</c><00:20:20.700><c> any</c><00:20:20.920><c> kind</c><00:20:21.099><c> of</c><00:20:21.319><c> traveling.</c>

00:20:23.019 --> 00:20:25.619
Now,<00:20:23.500><c> there's,</c><00:20:24.700><c> please</c><00:20:24.700><c> understand,</c>

00:20:25.819 --> 00:20:27.700
I'm<00:20:25.940><c> not</c><00:20:26.160><c> advocating</c><00:20:26.859><c> brethren</c>

00:20:27.700 --> 00:20:29.480
abandoning<00:20:28.519><c> their</c><00:20:28.720><c> families</c><00:20:29.019><c> to</c><00:20:29.319><c> travel.</c>

00:20:29.579 --> 00:20:31.059
That's<00:20:30.059><c> wrong.</c>

00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:35.799
I've<00:20:32.039><c> done</c><00:20:32.180><c> it</c><00:20:32.380><c> too</c><00:20:32.619><c> often</c><00:20:32.980><c> and</c><00:20:33.160><c> I've</c><00:20:33.480><c> learned</c><00:20:33.619><c> I</c><00:20:33.940><c> cannot</c><00:20:34.279><c> do</c><00:20:34.700><c> that.</c>

00:20:36.160 --> 00:20:39.740
But<00:20:36.359><c> at</c><00:20:36.579><c> the</c><00:20:36.700><c> same</c><00:20:36.900><c> time,</c><00:20:37.400><c> don't</c><00:20:37.900><c> be</c><00:20:38.640><c> lazy.</c>

00:20:40.859 --> 00:20:43.599
Don't<00:20:41.119><c> be</c><00:20:41.559><c> idle</c><00:20:42.119><c> in</c><00:20:42.359><c> the</c><00:20:42.619><c> truth.</c>

00:20:44.019 --> 00:20:46.500
Use<00:20:44.440><c> whatever</c><00:20:44.920><c> God</c><00:20:45.359><c> has</c><00:20:45.720><c> given</c><00:20:45.960><c> you</c>

00:20:46.500 --> 00:20:48.680
for<00:20:47.059><c> the</c><00:20:47.440><c> brotherhood,</c><00:20:47.859><c> for</c><00:20:48.099><c> your</c><00:20:48.339><c> family.</c>

00:20:48.900 --> 00:20:51.420
And<00:20:49.119><c> don't</c><00:20:49.299><c> think</c><00:20:49.460><c> of</c><00:20:49.579><c> your</c><00:20:49.759><c> family</c><00:20:50.019><c> as</c><00:20:50.460><c> the</c><00:20:50.759><c> Ecclesia</c><00:20:51.039><c> first</c>

00:20:51.420 --> 00:20:52.900
and<00:20:51.579><c> then</c><00:20:51.880><c> there's</c><00:20:52.119><c> the</c><00:20:52.220><c> rest</c><00:20:52.359><c> of</c><00:20:52.519><c> the</c><00:20:52.619><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:55.480
Your<00:20:53.339><c> family</c><00:20:53.660><c> is</c><00:20:53.940><c> part</c><00:20:54.160><c> of</c><00:20:54.339><c> the</c><00:20:54.480><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:20:55.940 --> 00:20:57.880
That's<00:20:56.380><c> what</c><00:20:56.500><c> it</c><00:20:56.779><c> is.</c>

00:20:58.440 --> 00:20:59.660
And<00:20:58.680><c> that's</c><00:20:58.859><c> what</c><00:20:58.960><c> we</c><00:20:59.140><c> have</c><00:20:59.259><c> to</c><00:20:59.440><c> learn.</c>

00:20:59.660 --> 00:21:00.900
And<00:20:59.960><c> brethren,</c>

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:04.740
the<00:21:03.680><c> brotherhood</c><00:21:04.039><c> needs</c><00:21:04.299><c> people</c>

00:21:04.740 --> 00:21:07.579
that<00:21:04.960><c> are</c><00:21:05.140><c> going</c><00:21:05.559><c> to</c><00:21:06.559><c> do</c><00:21:06.680><c> what</c><00:21:06.859><c> they</c><00:21:07.140><c> can</c>

00:21:07.579 --> 00:21:10.400
to<00:21:08.339><c> strengthen</c><00:21:08.660><c> it</c><00:21:08.839><c> in</c><00:21:08.980><c> these</c><00:21:09.160><c> last</c><00:21:09.380><c> days,</c>

00:21:11.099 --> 00:21:12.599

00:21:12.980 --> 00:21:15.140
You're<00:21:13.259><c> in</c><00:21:13.339><c> your</c><00:21:14.259><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:21:15.519 --> 00:21:17.519
You<00:21:15.700><c> need</c><00:21:15.900><c> six</c><00:21:16.140><c> weeks</c><00:21:16.420><c> notice</c><00:21:16.660><c> to</c><00:21:16.839><c> give</c><00:21:16.920><c> a</c><00:21:17.119><c> Bible</c><00:21:17.319><c> class?</c>

00:21:17.579 --> 00:21:19.079
Forget<00:21:17.839><c> that</c><00:21:18.140><c> nonsense.</c>

00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:21.380
If<00:21:19.500><c> you're</c><00:21:19.799><c> asked</c><00:21:19.859><c> to</c><00:21:20.019><c> do</c><00:21:20.079><c> it,</c><00:21:20.480><c> do</c><00:21:20.660><c> it</c><00:21:20.839><c> in</c><00:21:20.980><c> your</c><00:21:21.099><c> meeting.</c>

00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:23.819
Get<00:21:21.960><c> your</c><00:21:22.240><c> books</c><00:21:22.500><c> out</c><00:21:22.920><c> and</c><00:21:23.400><c> read.</c>

00:21:24.319 --> 00:21:26.259
Learn<00:21:24.799><c> to</c><00:21:25.220><c> read.</c>

00:21:26.819 --> 00:21:28.559
Don't<00:21:27.259><c> we</c><00:21:27.420><c> know</c><00:21:27.519><c> how</c><00:21:27.740><c> to</c><00:21:27.960><c> read</c><00:21:28.200><c> anymore?</c>

00:21:28.559 --> 00:21:30.640
We<00:21:28.819><c> don't</c><00:21:28.960><c> know</c><00:21:29.079><c> how</c><00:21:29.259><c> to</c><00:21:29.420><c> read.</c>

00:21:33.900 --> 00:21:35.880
And<00:21:34.059><c> back</c><00:21:34.400><c> in</c><00:21:34.539><c> Toronto,</c><00:21:34.980><c> we</c><00:21:35.140><c> have</c><00:21:35.299><c> the</c><00:21:35.519><c> newspapers,</c>

00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:37.160
the<00:21:36.180><c> Globe</c><00:21:36.319><c> and</c><00:21:36.480><c> Mail.</c>

00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:40.380
Thick,<00:21:38.299><c> some</c><00:21:38.500><c> in</c><00:21:38.680><c>-depth</c><00:21:39.359><c> detailed</c><00:21:39.839><c> commentary</c>

00:21:40.380 --> 00:21:41.880

00:21:42.279 --> 00:21:44.400
And<00:21:42.440><c> then,</c><00:21:42.880><c> well,</c><00:21:43.279><c> there's</c><00:21:43.519><c> the</c><00:21:43.680><c> digested</c><00:21:44.220><c> version</c>

00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:45.480

00:21:45.500 --> 00:21:47.119
It's<00:21:45.700><c> about</c><00:21:45.880><c> this</c><00:21:46.140><c> big.</c>

00:21:47.700 --> 00:21:49.660
So<00:21:48.039><c> you</c><00:21:48.180><c> can</c><00:21:48.359><c> get</c><00:21:48.539><c> your</c><00:21:48.759><c> bite</c><00:21:49.079><c>-sized</c><00:21:49.400><c> chunk,</c>

00:21:49.660 --> 00:21:51.539
which<00:21:49.819><c> is</c><00:21:50.019><c> about</c><00:21:50.259><c> that</c><00:21:50.539><c> much.</c>

00:21:52.339 --> 00:21:53.799
And<00:21:52.599><c> that's</c><00:21:53.079><c> supposed</c><00:21:53.279><c> to</c><00:21:53.480><c> give</c><00:21:53.579><c> you</c>

00:21:56.880 --> 00:21:59.339
But<00:21:57.359><c> that's</c><00:21:57.579><c> what</c><00:21:57.700><c> people</c><00:21:57.980><c> want</c><00:21:58.279><c> today.</c>

00:21:59.880 --> 00:22:02.180
It's<00:22:00.039><c> what</c><00:22:00.180><c> we</c><00:22:00.380><c> want</c><00:22:00.599><c> today,</c><00:22:01.000><c> too,</c><00:22:01.099><c> you</c><00:22:01.240><c> know.</c>

00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:06.440
So<00:22:03.400><c> many</c><00:22:03.779><c> wonderful,</c><00:22:04.779><c> wonderful,</c><00:22:05.779><c> glorious</c><00:22:06.119><c> books</c>

00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:10.400
That's<00:26:09.160><c> what</c><00:26:09.299><c> it</c><00:26:09.519><c> means.</c>

00:26:11.019 --> 00:26:14.720
Idle<00:26:11.279><c> words</c><00:26:11.519><c> are</c><00:26:11.720><c> words</c><00:26:12.259><c> not</c><00:26:12.880><c> intended</c><00:26:13.359><c> to</c><00:26:13.700><c> help.</c>

00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:18.940
So<00:26:15.660><c> gossip</c><00:26:16.039><c> would</c><00:26:16.259><c> be</c><00:26:16.539><c> included</c><00:26:16.779><c> in</c><00:26:16.940><c> that</c><00:26:17.200><c> category,</c><00:26:17.680><c> wouldn't</c><00:26:17.779><c> it?</c>

00:26:40.119 --> 00:26:41.519

00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:44.140

00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:42.960
I<00:27:41.700><c> don't</c><00:27:41.940><c> care.</c>

00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:46.920
And<00:27:44.839><c> when</c><00:27:45.019><c> we</c><00:27:45.240><c> become</c><00:27:45.579><c> like</c><00:27:45.960><c> that,</c>

00:27:47.259 --> 00:27:50.859
when<00:27:47.539><c> we</c><00:27:47.759><c> are</c><00:27:48.000><c> teachers</c><00:27:48.599><c> who</c><00:27:49.420><c> promote</c><00:27:49.960><c> strife</c>

then<00:27:54.599><c> we</c><00:27:55.440><c> ought</c><00:27:55.640><c> not</c><00:27:55.839><c> to</c><00:27:56.039><c> be</c><00:27:56.119><c> on</c><00:27:56.339><c> the</c><00:27:56.480><c> platform</c><00:27:56.799><c> at</c><00:27:57.259><c> all,</c><00:27:59.480><c> ever,</c>

00:28:02.339 --> 00:28:05.319
So<00:28:02.539><c> he</c><00:28:02.740><c> says,</c><00:28:03.319><c> talking</c><00:28:03.839><c> about</c><00:28:04.119><c> these</c><00:28:04.380><c> teachers,</c>

00:28:05.480 --> 00:28:07.799
yes,<00:28:05.640><c> it</c><00:28:05.920><c> applies</c><00:28:06.140><c> in</c><00:28:06.440><c> a</c><00:28:06.599><c> general</c><00:28:06.839><c> way</c><00:28:07.079><c> to</c><00:28:07.279><c> all</c><00:28:07.559><c> of</c><00:28:07.700><c> us</c>

00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:09.480
on<00:28:07.980><c> how</c><00:28:08.099><c> much</c><00:28:08.220><c> we</c><00:28:08.480><c> talk</c><00:28:08.680><c> too</c><00:28:08.940><c> much,</c>

00:28:09.700 --> 00:28:14.480
but<00:28:10.539><c> it</c><00:28:11.059><c> applies</c><00:28:11.400><c> particularly</c><00:28:12.299><c> to</c><00:28:12.720><c> people</c><00:28:13.059><c> that</c><00:28:13.259><c> are</c><00:28:13.539><c> teaching.</c>

00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:18.200

00:28:18.660 --> 00:28:23.259
The<00:28:18.799><c> tongue</c><00:28:18.980><c> is</c><00:28:19.160><c> a</c><00:28:19.440><c> fire,</c><00:28:21.359><c> a</c><00:28:21.539><c> world</c><00:28:22.059><c> of</c><00:28:22.480><c> injustice,</c>

00:28:23.339 --> 00:28:25.720
so<00:28:23.900><c> is</c><00:28:24.339><c> the</c><00:28:24.559><c> tongue</c><00:28:24.759><c> among</c><00:28:25.039><c> our</c><00:28:25.299><c> members.</c>

00:28:26.079 --> 00:28:28.019
It<00:28:26.420><c> defiles</c><00:28:26.859><c> the</c><00:28:27.220><c> whole</c><00:28:27.579><c> body.</c>

00:28:28.500 --> 00:28:30.279
But,<00:28:28.740><c> you</c><00:28:28.779><c> know,</c><00:28:29.160><c> our</c><00:28:29.279><c> tongues,</c>

00:28:32.440 --> 00:28:35.559
life<00:28:32.880><c> and</c><00:28:33.160><c> death</c><00:28:33.380><c> are</c><00:28:33.539><c> in</c><00:28:33.680><c> the</c><00:28:33.940><c> power</c><00:28:34.180><c> of</c><00:28:34.440><c> the</c><00:28:34.640><c> tongue.</c>

00:28:35.980 --> 00:28:41.759
Through<00:28:36.319><c> our</c><00:28:36.940><c> tongues,</c><00:28:37.599><c> we</c><00:28:38.519><c> can</c><00:28:38.799><c> exhort</c><00:28:39.240><c> and</c><00:28:39.680><c> sustain</c><00:28:40.339><c> each</c><00:28:40.799><c> other.</c>

00:28:42.359 --> 00:28:45.740
Put<00:28:42.500><c> your</c><00:28:42.680><c> arm</c><00:28:42.819><c> around</c><00:28:43.099><c> somebody</c><00:28:43.440><c> and</c><00:28:43.880><c> give</c><00:28:44.140><c> them</c><00:28:44.460><c> words</c><00:28:44.880><c> of</c><00:28:45.319><c> comfort.</c>

00:28:46.099 --> 00:28:49.039
The<00:28:46.480><c> tongue</c><00:28:46.680><c> is</c><00:28:46.880><c> just</c><00:28:47.059><c> basically</c><00:28:47.359><c> put</c><00:28:47.559><c> in</c><00:28:47.720><c> place</c><00:28:47.880><c> of</c><00:28:48.039><c> the</c><00:28:48.200><c> mind,</c><00:28:48.500><c> isn't</c><00:28:48.640><c> it?</c>

00:28:49.480 --> 00:28:50.759
It's<00:28:49.660><c> just</c><00:28:49.799><c> the</c><00:28:49.960><c> tool</c><00:28:50.059><c> of</c><00:28:50.220><c> the</c><00:28:50.400><c> mind.</c>

00:28:50.759 --> 00:28:55.059
So<00:28:51.460><c> all</c><00:28:51.839><c> of</c><00:28:52.000><c> this</c><00:28:52.400><c> is</c><00:28:52.700><c> not</c><00:28:52.940><c> just</c><00:28:53.180><c> the</c><00:28:53.880><c> tongue,</c><00:28:54.460><c> really.</c>

00:28:55.099 --> 00:28:56.900
It's<00:28:55.579><c> our</c><00:28:55.859><c> minds.</c>

00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:00.240
And<00:28:58.279><c> wherewithal</c><00:28:58.740><c> shall</c><00:28:58.900><c> a</c><00:28:59.039><c> young</c><00:28:59.220><c> man</c><00:28:59.460><c> cleanse</c><00:28:59.759><c> his</c><00:29:00.019><c> way,</c>

00:29:12.259 --> 00:29:13.359
And<00:29:12.460><c> it's</c><00:29:12.660><c> the</c><00:29:12.720><c> word</c><00:29:12.859><c> of</c><00:29:13.079><c> God.</c>

00:29:13.740 --> 00:29:15.859
It's<00:29:14.279><c> immersion</c><00:29:14.660><c> in</c><00:29:15.240><c> its</c><00:29:15.579><c> pages.</c>

00:29:16.119 --> 00:29:19.019
That's<00:29:16.559><c> why</c><00:29:16.700><c> you</c><00:29:16.859><c> have</c><00:29:17.059><c> to</c><00:29:17.240><c> study</c><00:29:17.440><c> young</c><00:29:17.680><c> man,</c><00:29:17.980><c> young</c><00:29:18.160><c> brother,</c>

00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:36.230
But<00:29:32.619><c> we</c><00:29:32.880><c> have</c><00:29:33.059><c> so</c><00:29:33.339><c> many</c><00:29:33.539><c> wonderful</c><00:29:33.940><c> words</c><00:29:34.599><c> of</c><00:29:35.460><c> comfort</c>

that<00:33:38.339><c> are</c><00:33:38.700><c> not</c><00:33:39.019><c> part</c><00:33:39.440><c> of</c><00:33:39.720><c> our</c><00:33:40.200><c> statement</c><00:33:40.720><c> of</c><00:33:41.339><c> faith.</c>

00:33:43.279 --> 00:33:44.779
Now<00:33:43.420><c> some</c><00:33:43.559><c> of</c><00:33:43.680><c> them</c><00:33:43.900><c> are</c><00:33:44.220><c> important,</c>

00:33:44.819 --> 00:33:48.819
but<00:33:44.960><c> they</c><00:33:45.160><c> are</c><00:33:45.420><c> not</c><00:33:45.920><c> absolutely</c><00:33:46.579><c> essential</c><00:33:47.299><c> first</c><00:33:47.720><c> principles.</c>

00:33:49.059 --> 00:33:49.940
And<00:33:49.259><c> we</c><00:33:49.420><c> need</c><00:33:49.599><c> to</c><00:33:49.799><c> know,</c>

00:33:50.059 --> 00:33:51.920
but<00:33:50.240><c> we</c><00:33:50.440><c> need</c><00:33:50.619><c> to</c><00:33:50.759><c> be</c><00:33:50.880><c> able</c><00:33:51.059><c> to</c><00:33:51.400><c> discuss,</c>

00:33:52.420 --> 00:33:55.599
not<00:33:52.579><c> to</c><00:33:52.740><c> be</c><00:33:53.059><c> critical</c><00:33:53.559><c> and</c><00:33:54.539><c> breaking</c><00:33:54.839><c> each</c><00:33:55.119><c> other</c><00:33:55.279><c> down</c>

00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:59.740
and<00:33:56.200><c> slapping</c><00:33:57.279><c> at</c><00:33:57.500><c> each</c><00:33:57.740><c> other</c><00:33:57.960><c> behind</c><00:33:58.279><c> each</c><00:33:58.500><c> other's</c><00:33:58.900><c> backs.</c>

00:33:59.839 --> 00:34:00.880
That's<00:34:00.319><c> not</c><00:34:00.599><c> right.</c>

00:34:01.099 --> 00:34:03.740
These<00:34:01.299><c> things</c><00:34:01.500><c> are</c><00:34:01.720><c> not</c><00:34:02.279><c> so</c><00:34:02.559><c> to</c><00:34:02.799><c> be.</c>

00:34:03.759 --> 00:34:04.599
And<00:34:03.819><c> we're</c><00:34:04.000><c> all</c><00:34:04.160><c> guilty,</c>

00:34:04.779 --> 00:34:06.220
but<00:34:04.960><c> we</c><00:34:05.099><c> must</c><00:34:05.240><c> stop</c><00:34:05.559><c> doing</c><00:34:05.859><c> it.</c>

00:34:06.319 --> 00:34:07.779
And<00:34:06.500><c> we</c><00:34:06.700><c> can</c><00:34:06.960><c> stop</c><00:34:07.240><c> doing</c><00:34:07.519><c> it.</c>

00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:09.059
Just<00:34:08.159><c> stop.</c>

00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:12.039
It's<00:34:09.920><c> not</c><00:34:10.000><c> something</c><00:34:10.159><c> you</c><00:34:10.380><c> wean</c><00:34:10.719><c> yourself</c><00:34:11.119><c> off.</c>

00:34:12.219 --> 00:34:13.320
You<00:34:12.400><c> just</c><00:34:12.639><c> stop</c><00:34:12.900><c> doing</c><00:34:13.139><c> it.</c>

00:34:13.460 --> 00:34:15.679
I'm<00:34:13.920><c> not</c><00:34:14.199><c> going</c><00:34:14.400><c> to</c><00:34:14.539><c> do</c><00:34:14.579><c> that</c><00:34:14.780><c> anymore.</c>

00:34:16.460 --> 00:34:17.920
Not<00:34:16.679><c> going</c><00:34:16.860><c> to</c><00:34:16.960><c> do</c><00:34:17.099><c> that.</c>

00:34:18.420 --> 00:34:21.800
So<00:34:18.900><c> it</c><00:34:19.380><c> says</c><00:34:19.920><c> as</c><00:34:20.940><c> he</c><00:34:21.099><c> goes</c><00:34:21.280><c> down,</c>

verse<00:34:22.179><c> 13,</c>

00:34:22.599 --> 00:34:25.099
Well,<00:34:22.980><c> look,</c><00:34:23.639><c> you</c><00:34:23.800><c> have</c><00:34:23.980><c> these</c><00:34:24.239><c> people</c><00:34:24.460><c> on</c><00:34:24.599><c> the</c><00:34:24.800><c> platform</c>

00:34:25.099 --> 00:34:27.159

00:34:27.659 --> 00:34:30.460
They<00:34:27.920><c> go</c><00:34:28.199><c> through</c><00:34:28.340><c> and</c><00:34:28.500><c> they</c><00:34:28.739><c> leave</c><00:34:29.079><c> a</c><00:34:29.579><c> path</c><00:34:29.820><c> of</c><00:34:30.099><c> destruction</c>

00:34:30.460 --> 00:34:32.139

00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:34.699
And<00:34:33.300><c> they're</c><00:34:33.559><c> considered</c><00:34:33.800><c> to</c><00:34:33.980><c> be</c><00:34:34.179><c> wise,</c>

00:34:35.159 --> 00:34:38.579
just<00:34:35.340><c> like</c><00:34:35.679><c> the</c><00:34:36.099><c> Pharisaical</c><00:34:37.119><c> teachers</c><00:34:37.860><c> were</c><00:34:38.139><c> considered</c><00:34:38.420><c> to</c>

00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:43.719
that<00:34:42.599><c> they</c><00:34:42.840><c> could</c><00:34:43.079><c> not</c><00:34:43.420><c> bear</c>

00:34:43.719 --> 00:34:46.820
and<00:34:44.260><c> wouldn't</c><00:34:44.860><c> lift</c><00:34:45.079><c> a</c><00:34:45.340><c> finger</c><00:34:45.519><c> to</c><00:34:45.780><c> help</c><00:34:45.940><c> them</c><00:34:46.139><c> with</c><00:34:46.239><c> the</c><00:34:46.380><c> burdens.</c>

00:34:57.780 --> 00:35:00.619
Who<00:34:58.019><c> is</c><00:34:58.239><c> the</c><00:34:58.519><c> wise</c><00:34:58.940><c> man</c><00:34:59.219><c> among</c><00:34:59.480><c> you?</c>

00:35:22.500 --> 00:35:28.400
You<00:35:22.719><c> see</c><00:35:22.840><c> how</c><00:35:23.019><c> you</c><00:35:23.300><c> spot</c><00:35:24.900><c> the</c><00:35:26.079><c> kind</c><00:35:26.320><c> of</c><00:35:26.539><c> teaching</c><00:35:26.719><c> that</c><00:35:26.960><c> you</c><00:35:27.059><c> want</c><00:35:27.260><c> to</c><00:35:27.480><c> have?</c>

00:35:29.699 --> 00:35:32.599
It's<00:35:30.519><c> complemented</c><00:35:30.980><c> by</c><00:35:31.199><c> a</c><00:35:31.519><c> lifestyle</c>

That<00:35:39.780><c> meekness</c><00:35:40.159><c> is</c><00:35:40.380><c> quietness</c><00:35:40.780><c> of</c><00:35:41.059><c> spirit,</c><00:35:41.380><c> isn't</c><00:35:41.519><c> it?</c>

00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:43.920
It's<00:35:42.679><c> humility.</c>

00:35:45.099 --> 00:35:47.840
It's<00:35:45.579><c> smallness</c><00:35:46.099><c> of</c><00:35:46.380><c> self</c><00:35:46.639><c>-perception.</c>

00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:09.599
Oh,<00:36:04.800><c> it</c><00:36:04.920><c> praises</c><00:36:05.280><c> aggressiveness,</c><00:36:07.039><c> firmness,</c><00:36:08.599><c> hardness,</c>

00:40:35.659 --> 00:40:38.679

00:40:43.599 --> 00:40:45.519

00:40:45.900 --> 00:40:50.099

You<00:42:53.739><c> have</c><00:42:53.920><c> to</c><00:42:54.039><c> do</c><00:42:54.139><c> that</c><00:42:54.300><c> all</c><00:42:54.400><c> the</c><00:42:54.460><c> time.</c><00:42:54.539><c> We</c><00:42:54.699><c> have</c><00:42:54.880><c> to</c><00:42:55.019><c> do</c><00:42:55.139><c> it</c>

00:42:58.280 --> 00:43:03.900
It's<00:42:58.699><c> pure</c><00:42:59.119><c> and</c><00:43:00.619><c> peaceable,</c><00:43:02.739><c> willing</c><00:43:02.940><c> to</c><00:43:03.179><c> make</c><00:43:03.460><c> peace.</c>

00:43:04.199 --> 00:43:06.199
Now,<00:43:04.440><c> don't</c><00:43:04.719><c> think</c><00:43:04.940><c> that</c><00:43:05.079><c> that</c><00:43:05.219><c> means</c><00:43:05.420><c> peace</c><00:43:05.659><c> at</c><00:43:05.800><c> all</c><00:43:06.000><c> costs</c>

Absolutely<00:43:09.519><c> not.</c>

00:43:10.780 --> 00:43:16.960

00:43:25.500 --> 00:43:27.139
That's<00:43:25.760><c> not</c><00:43:26.119><c> wise,</c><00:43:26.659><c> is</c><00:43:26.760><c> it?</c>

00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:29.900
It's<00:43:27.599><c> not</c><00:43:27.880><c> the</c><00:43:28.239><c> wisdom</c><00:43:28.519><c> that</c><00:43:28.739><c> comes</c><00:43:28.920><c> from</c><00:43:29.159><c> God</c><00:43:29.380><c> from</c><00:43:29.579><c> above,</c>

00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:50.599
The<00:43:45.659><c> Word</c><00:43:45.840><c> of</c><00:43:46.079><c> God</c><00:43:47.599><c> transforms</c><00:43:48.519><c> us</c><00:43:49.099><c> slowly</c><00:43:49.480><c> and</c><00:43:49.820><c> painfully,</c>

00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:55.139
so<00:43:51.099><c> that</c><00:43:51.460><c> we</c><00:43:51.599><c> are</c><00:43:51.880><c> disposed</c><00:43:52.780><c> to</c><00:43:53.199><c> making</c><00:43:53.699><c> peace.</c>

00:43:55.539 --> 00:43:57.639
Peaceable,<00:43:56.860><c> gentle.</c>

00:43:58.119 --> 00:44:02.920
That<00:43:58.420><c> is</c><00:43:58.780><c> a</c><00:43:58.960><c> state</c><00:43:59.199><c> of</c><00:43:59.699><c> forbearance,</c><00:44:01.260><c> even</c><00:44:01.760><c> under</c><00:44:02.460><c> trial.</c>

00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:07.820
It<00:44:03.260><c> is</c><00:44:03.480><c> the</c><00:44:03.719><c> opposite</c><00:44:04.300><c> of</c><00:44:04.860><c> self</c><00:44:05.420><c>-seeking</c><00:44:06.019><c> contentiousness.</c>

00:44:12.880 --> 00:44:16.719
It's<00:44:13.280><c> easy</c><00:44:13.980><c> to</c><00:44:14.960><c> be</c><00:44:15.480><c> entreated.</c>

00:44:17.260 --> 00:44:19.679
That<00:44:17.480><c> means</c><00:44:17.780><c> willing</c><00:44:18.280><c> to</c><00:44:18.619><c> yield.</c>

00:44:20.199 --> 00:44:22.599
It<00:44:20.340><c> means</c><00:44:20.579><c> the</c><00:44:20.980><c> opposite</c><00:44:21.400><c> of</c><00:44:22.019><c> obstinate.</c>

00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:26.300

00:44:26.699 --> 00:44:30.900
That<00:44:26.820><c> the</c><00:44:26.960><c> Word</c><00:44:27.159><c> of</c><00:44:27.380><c> God</c><00:44:27.599><c> is</c><00:44:27.960><c> an</c><00:44:28.179><c> antidote</c><00:44:28.539><c> to</c><00:44:29.119><c> stubbornness.</c>

00:44:32.139 --> 00:44:36.320
And<00:44:32.699><c> we</c><00:44:32.940><c> need</c><00:44:33.179><c> that</c><00:44:33.480><c> antidote</c><00:44:33.900><c> like</c><00:44:34.159><c> anything</c><00:44:34.480><c> in</c><00:44:34.699><c> this</c><00:44:35.280><c> continent.</c>

00:44:56.219 --> 00:45:01.539
Now<00:44:56.820><c> it's</c><00:44:57.159><c> wrong</c><00:44:57.780><c> to</c><00:44:58.980><c> be</c><00:44:59.519><c> disputatious</c><00:45:00.340><c> and</c><00:45:00.719><c> contentious</c>

00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:49.900
If<00:45:48.139><c> daddy</c><00:45:48.400><c> makes</c><00:45:48.679><c> all</c><00:45:48.920><c> the</c><00:45:49.119><c> decisions</c><00:45:49.380><c> all</c><00:45:49.619><c> the</c><00:45:49.760><c> time</c>

we<00:46:09.519><c> are</c><00:46:09.800><c> serving,</c><00:46:11.239><c> whose</c><00:46:11.380><c> input</c><00:46:11.719><c> we</c><00:46:12.079><c> really</c><00:46:12.619><c> want</c><00:46:12.900><c> to</c><00:46:13.139><c> have</c>

00:46:18.739 --> 00:46:22.440
So<00:46:18.920><c> he</c><00:46:19.059><c> says,</c><00:46:20.320><c> he</c><00:46:20.579><c> says,</c><00:46:20.920><c> where</c><00:46:21.079><c> there's</c><00:46:21.539><c> envying</c><00:46:21.820><c> and</c><00:46:22.079><c> strife,</c>

00:46:29.780 --> 00:46:32.280
