00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.960
So<00:02:05.120><c> Hosea</c><00:02:06.560><c> isn't</c><00:02:06.760><c> the</c><00:02:07.000><c> only</c><00:02:07.180><c> one</c><00:02:07.340><c> that</c><00:02:07.560><c> kind</c><00:02:07.719><c> of</c><00:02:07.819><c> had</c><00:02:07.939><c> to</c><00:02:08.039><c> do</c><00:02:08.159><c> these</c><00:02:08.379><c> things</c><00:02:08.599><c> in</c><00:02:08.819><c> life.</c>

00:02:09.099 --> 00:02:11.919
We<00:02:09.099><c> know,</c><00:02:09.740><c> for</c><00:02:09.939><c> example,</c><00:02:10.419><c> like</c><00:02:10.560><c> Hezekiah</c><00:02:10.979><c> was</c><00:02:11.180><c> also</c><00:02:11.500><c> like</c><00:02:11.719><c> an</c>

00:02:11.919 --> 00:02:12.500
object<00:02:12.159><c> lesson.</c>

00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.199
And<00:02:12.719><c> many</c><00:02:12.900><c> times</c><00:02:13.159><c> in</c><00:02:13.340><c> his</c><00:02:13.539><c> preaching,</c><00:02:14.219><c> he</c><00:02:14.439><c> was</c><00:02:14.659><c> told</c><00:02:14.819><c> to</c><00:02:15.020><c> do</c>

00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:16.439
certain<00:02:15.479><c> things,</c><00:02:15.840><c> certain</c><00:02:16.039><c> ways.</c>

00:02:16.939 --> 00:02:18.819
And<00:02:17.080><c> people</c><00:02:17.280><c> would</c><00:02:17.460><c> ask</c><00:02:17.620><c> him,</c><00:02:17.740><c> what</c><00:02:17.840><c> are</c><00:02:17.939><c> you</c><00:02:18.120><c> doing?</c><00:02:18.439><c> Why</c><00:02:18.680><c> are</c>

00:02:18.819 --> 00:02:19.719
you<00:02:18.939><c> doing</c><00:02:19.080><c> it</c><00:02:19.259><c> this</c><00:02:19.479><c> way?</c>

00:02:19.819 --> 00:02:22.639
And<00:02:20.219><c> he's</c><00:02:20.439><c> trying</c><00:02:20.520><c> to</c><00:02:20.680><c> teach</c><00:02:20.819><c> them</c><00:02:21.000><c> a</c><00:02:21.159><c> lesson</c><00:02:21.360><c> in</c><00:02:21.539><c> the</c><00:02:21.699><c> captivity</c><00:02:22.120><c> as</c><00:02:22.419><c> well.</c>

00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:26.979
So<00:02:23.020><c> it's</c><00:02:23.780><c> not</c><00:02:23.939><c> unusual</c><00:02:24.500><c> for</c><00:02:24.740><c> people</c><00:02:24.960><c> to</c><00:02:25.159><c> be</c><00:02:25.379><c> used</c><00:02:25.659><c> in</c><00:02:25.860><c> this</c><00:02:26.120><c> manner,</c><00:02:26.740><c> not</c>

00:02:26.979 --> 00:02:29.580
that<00:02:27.199><c> Hosea</c><00:02:27.599><c> was</c><00:02:27.819><c> a</c><00:02:27.979><c> bad</c><00:02:28.159><c> person,</c><00:02:28.479><c> but</c><00:02:28.639><c> he</c><00:02:28.759><c> was</c><00:02:28.939><c> asked</c><00:02:29.080><c> by</c><00:02:29.379><c> God</c>

00:02:29.580 --> 00:02:30.639
to<00:02:29.759><c> do</c><00:02:29.919><c> these</c><00:02:30.199><c> things,</c>

00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.759
to<00:02:31.039><c> show</c><00:02:31.300><c> this</c><00:02:31.520><c> lesson</c><00:02:31.780><c> to</c><00:02:32.000><c> the</c><00:02:32.139><c> children</c><00:02:32.419><c> of</c><00:02:32.620><c> Israel</c><00:02:33.080><c> so</c><00:02:33.580><c> they</c>

00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:35.520
would<00:02:33.960><c> change</c><00:02:34.340><c> in</c><00:02:34.500><c> their</c><00:02:34.639><c> ways.</c>

00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:39.580
Because<00:02:36.520><c> over</c><00:02:36.960><c> the</c><00:02:37.180><c> course</c><00:02:37.400><c> of</c><00:02:37.719><c> time,</c><00:02:38.460><c> it's</c><00:02:38.800><c> so</c><00:02:38.979><c> easy</c><00:02:39.199><c> to</c><00:02:39.419><c> get</c>

00:02:39.580 --> 00:02:42.400
involved<00:02:40.039><c> in</c><00:02:40.219><c> the</c><00:02:40.360><c> things</c><00:02:40.520><c> of</c><00:02:40.699><c> the</c><00:02:40.900><c> world</c><00:02:41.259><c> and</c><00:02:41.719><c> to</c><00:02:41.960><c> fall</c><00:02:42.139><c> away</c>

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.439
a<00:02:42.620><c> bit</c><00:02:42.780><c> and</c><00:02:43.000><c> to</c><00:02:43.240><c> start</c><00:02:43.460><c> squeezing</c><00:02:43.840><c> things</c><00:02:44.120><c> in.</c>

00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:46.259
And<00:02:44.580><c> that's</c><00:02:44.800><c> what</c><00:02:44.939><c> the</c><00:02:45.180><c> children</c><00:02:45.460><c> of</c><00:02:45.659><c> Israel</c><00:02:45.800><c> have</c><00:02:45.919><c> done</c><00:02:46.080><c> in</c>

00:02:46.259 --> 00:02:50.319
their<00:02:46.439><c> lives</c><00:02:46.919><c> through</c><00:02:47.719><c> this</c><00:02:47.979><c> time</c><00:02:48.520><c> and</c><00:02:48.800><c> period</c><00:02:49.159><c> and</c><00:02:49.879><c> how</c><00:02:50.159><c> they</c>

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.479
got<00:02:50.439><c> involved</c><00:02:50.819><c> in</c><00:02:50.979><c> things</c><00:02:51.120><c> they</c><00:02:51.319><c> shouldn't</c><00:02:51.620><c> have.</c>

00:02:54.219 --> 00:02:58.639
So<00:02:54.659><c> it's</c><00:02:55.099><c> also</c><00:02:55.439><c> used,</c><00:02:56.219><c> as</c><00:02:56.379><c> with</c><00:02:56.580><c> the</c><00:02:57.060><c> apostles</c><00:02:57.460><c> in</c><00:02:57.680><c> the</c><00:02:57.819><c> New</c><00:02:57.979><c> Testament,</c><00:02:58.520><c> as</c>

00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:00.099
far<00:02:58.759><c> as</c><00:02:58.879><c> an</c><00:02:59.020><c> object</c><00:02:59.400><c> lesson</c><00:02:59.759><c> goes,</c>

00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.439
is<00:03:00.560><c> they're</c><00:03:00.879><c> teaching</c><00:03:01.180><c> us</c><00:03:01.539><c> through</c><00:03:01.740><c> their</c><00:03:02.039><c> lives,</c><00:03:03.180><c> they're</c>

00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:06.819
witnessing<00:03:03.879><c> what</c><00:03:04.580><c> they've</c><00:03:04.919><c> been</c><00:03:05.080><c> through,</c><00:03:05.259><c> how</c><00:03:05.479><c> they</c><00:03:05.759><c> reacted</c><00:03:06.080><c> to</c><00:03:06.300><c> Jesus.</c>

00:03:07.259 --> 00:03:10.759
So<00:03:07.419><c> it's</c><00:03:07.599><c> something</c><00:03:07.759><c> that</c><00:03:08.080><c> we</c><00:03:08.319><c> all</c><00:03:08.599><c> look</c><00:03:08.819><c> at.</c><00:03:09.659><c> If</c><00:03:09.659><c> you</c><00:03:09.800><c> read</c><00:03:09.919><c> the</c><00:03:10.060><c> description,</c><00:03:10.379><c> look</c><00:03:10.620><c> at</c>

00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:14.300
You<00:03:11.699><c> see</c><00:03:11.900><c> this</c><00:03:12.120><c> through</c><00:03:12.280><c> many</c><00:03:12.520><c> people</c><00:03:12.879><c> and</c><00:03:13.620><c> the</c><00:03:13.759><c> many</c><00:03:13.939><c> lessons</c>

I<00:03:32.659><c> mean,</c><00:03:32.939><c> it's</c><00:03:33.599><c> pretty</c><00:03:33.879><c> basic</c><00:03:34.240><c> what</c><00:03:34.360><c> God</c><00:03:34.639><c> asks</c><00:03:34.979><c> us</c><00:03:35.280><c> to</c><00:03:35.479><c> do</c><00:03:35.699><c> in</c>

00:06:37.500 --> 00:06:40.839
It<00:06:37.500><c> must</c><00:06:37.759><c> have</c><00:06:38.420><c> been</c><00:06:38.420><c> really</c><00:06:39.079><c> a</c><00:06:39.379><c> great</c><00:06:39.540><c> feeling</c><00:06:39.879><c> within</c><00:06:40.180><c> them</c>

00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:43.680

00:06:46.860 --> 00:06:49.480
Just<00:06:47.480><c> imagine</c><00:06:47.879><c> if</c><00:06:48.019><c> you</c><00:06:48.220><c> were</c><00:06:48.379><c> there</c><00:06:48.519><c> at</c><00:06:48.699><c> that</c><00:06:48.899><c> time</c><00:06:49.100><c> how</c><00:06:49.259><c> you</c>

wander<00:06:54.779><c> around,</c>

00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.519
and<00:06:55.379><c> now</c><00:06:55.639><c> you've</c><00:06:55.839><c> been</c><00:06:55.980><c> given</c><00:06:56.139><c> a</c><00:06:56.360><c> mission</c><00:06:56.759><c> and</c><00:06:57.199><c> you</c><00:06:57.300><c> have</c><00:06:57.319><c> this</c>

00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:59.540
wonderful<00:06:57.939><c> opportunity</c><00:06:58.600><c> to</c><00:06:58.839><c> serve</c><00:06:59.060><c> God</c>

00:07:02.100 --> 00:07:03.959
building<00:07:02.439><c> this</c><00:07:02.660><c> special</c><00:07:03.019><c> thing.</c>

00:07:04.500 --> 00:07:07.620
Now<00:07:04.899><c> we</c><00:07:05.180><c> come</c><00:07:05.300><c> to</c><00:07:05.560><c> Joshua,</c><00:07:06.399><c> and</c><00:07:06.540><c> they're</c><00:07:06.720><c> about</c><00:07:07.040><c> to</c><00:07:07.519><c> fill</c>

00:07:07.620 --> 00:07:08.300
another<00:07:08.000><c> promise,</c>

00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:10.579
so<00:07:08.480><c> God</c><00:07:08.660><c> told</c><00:07:08.920><c> them,</c><00:07:09.319><c> you</c><00:07:09.319><c> can</c><00:07:09.459><c> come</c><00:07:09.579><c> into</c><00:07:09.720><c> the</c><00:07:09.980><c> promised</c><00:07:10.279><c> land</c>

00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:12.120
if<00:07:10.759><c> you</c><00:07:10.839><c> do</c><00:07:10.959><c> what</c><00:07:11.079><c> I</c><00:07:11.279><c> tell</c><00:07:11.319><c> you</c><00:07:11.439><c> to</c><00:07:11.639><c> do.</c>

00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:14.220
And<00:07:12.420><c> through</c><00:07:12.579><c> Joshua</c><00:07:13.019><c> we</c><00:07:13.240><c> know</c><00:07:13.319><c> they</c><00:07:13.519><c> crossed</c><00:07:13.860><c> over.</c>

00:07:14.220 --> 00:07:18.540
So<00:07:15.060><c> Shiloh</c><00:07:15.399><c> was</c><00:07:15.620><c> a</c><00:07:15.759><c> place</c><00:07:16.040><c> that</c><00:07:16.639><c> Joshua</c><00:07:16.920><c> had</c><00:07:17.220><c> selected</c><00:07:17.819><c> to</c><00:07:18.399><c> set</c>

00:07:19.660 --> 00:07:21.939
and<00:07:19.980><c> the</c><00:07:20.139><c> congregation</c><00:07:20.500><c> for</c><00:07:20.759><c> the</c><00:07:20.959><c> children</c><00:07:21.240><c> of</c><00:07:21.420><c> Israel</c><00:07:21.680><c> there.</c>

00:07:22.300 --> 00:07:24.819
That's<00:07:22.699><c> where</c><00:07:22.819><c> the</c><00:07:22.959><c> worship</c><00:07:23.259><c> service</c><00:07:23.579><c> to</c><00:07:23.759><c> God</c><00:07:23.939><c> was</c><00:07:24.120><c> to</c><00:07:24.300><c> take</c><00:07:24.500><c> place.</c>

00:07:25.079 --> 00:07:28.259
That's<00:07:25.360><c> where</c><00:07:25.459><c> they</c><00:07:25.620><c> were</c><00:07:25.720><c> to</c><00:07:25.879><c> come</c><00:07:26.040><c> together</c><00:07:26.480><c> to</c><00:07:26.720><c> offer</c><00:07:26.819><c> their</c><00:07:27.100><c> sacrifices,</c><00:07:28.060><c> to</c>

00:07:28.259 --> 00:07:30.060
remember<00:07:28.639><c> God,</c><00:07:29.060><c> and</c><00:07:29.180><c> to</c><00:07:29.279><c> be</c><00:07:29.540><c> uplifted,</c>

00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.360
as<00:07:30.199><c> we</c><00:07:30.379><c> do</c><00:07:30.519><c> each</c><00:07:30.759><c> week</c><00:07:30.899><c> as</c><00:07:31.040><c> we</c><00:07:31.160><c> go</c><00:07:31.300><c> to</c><00:07:31.399><c> the</c><00:07:31.439><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:07:31.779><c> each</c><00:07:32.040><c> week,</c>

00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.699
to<00:07:32.759><c> remember</c><00:07:33.040><c> our</c><00:07:33.180><c> Lord</c><00:07:33.360><c> and</c><00:07:33.540><c> Savior</c><00:07:33.779><c> were</c><00:07:34.040><c> uplifted</c><00:07:34.459><c> by</c>

00:07:34.699 --> 00:07:35.300
these<00:07:35.000><c> things.</c>

00:07:35.699 --> 00:07:38.139
They<00:07:35.860><c> were</c><00:07:36.040><c> supposed</c><00:07:36.319><c> to</c><00:07:36.439><c> be</c><00:07:36.579><c> doing</c><00:07:36.779><c> that</c><00:07:37.060><c> in</c><00:07:37.300><c> Shiloh.</c>

00:07:38.220 --> 00:07:41.579
So<00:07:38.420><c> that's</c><00:07:38.660><c> why</c><00:07:38.980><c> Ephraim</c><00:07:39.519><c> becomes</c><00:07:39.980><c> an</c><00:07:40.259><c> important</c><00:07:40.579><c> part</c><00:07:41.060><c> for</c>

00:07:41.579 --> 00:07:42.639
what's<00:07:41.860><c> going</c><00:07:42.019><c> on</c><00:07:42.259><c> here.</c>

00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:46.519
But<00:07:43.420><c> unfortunately,</c><00:07:44.180><c> we</c><00:07:44.540><c> know</c><00:07:44.879><c> in</c><00:07:45.160><c> the</c><00:07:45.259><c> process</c><00:07:45.639><c> of</c><00:07:45.899><c> time,</c>

00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:48.560
things<00:07:47.240><c> change.</c>

00:07:48.819 --> 00:07:58.139
In<00:07:49.279><c> 1</c><00:07:49.500><c> Samuel</c><00:07:49.959><c> 1,</c><00:07:54.740><c> verses</c><00:07:55.060><c> 1</c><00:07:55.379><c> to</c><00:07:55.500><c> 3,</c><00:07:56.600><c> we</c><00:07:56.699><c> read,</c>

00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:02.100
And<00:07:59.040><c> there</c><00:07:59.120><c> was</c><00:07:59.259><c> a</c><00:07:59.379><c> certain</c><00:07:59.600><c> man,</c><00:08:00.060><c> a</c><00:08:00.060><c> Ramathian</c><00:08:01.519><c> Zophram,</c>

Mount<00:08:02.600><c> Ephraim.</c>

00:08:03.579 --> 00:08:06.000

00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:25.579
Remember<00:19:24.480><c> what</c><00:19:24.619><c> I</c><00:19:24.819><c> did</c><00:19:24.940><c> in</c><00:19:25.240><c> Shiloh?</c>

00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:28.460
Well,<00:19:25.900><c> that's</c><00:19:26.299><c> about</c><00:19:26.519><c> to</c><00:19:26.759><c> happen</c><00:19:27.000><c> to</c><00:19:27.259><c> Jerusalem</c><00:19:27.740><c> as</c><00:19:28.119><c> well.</c>

00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:41.480
So<00:19:35.180><c> in</c><00:19:35.259><c> Jeremiah</c><00:19:35.680><c> 26,</c><00:19:39.240><c> starting</c><00:19:39.440><c> at</c><00:19:39.680><c> verse</c><00:19:39.880><c> 4,</c>

00:20:15.180 --> 00:20:17.339

00:20:17.339 --> 00:20:18.039

00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:20.339

00:20:20.339 --> 00:20:21.200

00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:25.599
I<00:20:21.740><c> had</c><00:20:21.920><c> enough.</c><00:20:23.059><c> This</c><00:20:23.279><c> place</c><00:20:23.559><c> is</c><00:20:23.759><c> going</c><00:20:23.880><c> to</c><00:20:24.059><c> be</c><00:20:24.240><c> destroyed,</c><00:20:24.980><c> just</c><00:20:25.259><c> like</c><00:20:25.440><c> I</c>

00:20:27.079 --> 00:20:29.200
So<00:20:27.279><c> the</c><00:20:27.480><c> point</c><00:20:27.660><c> that</c><00:20:27.819><c> comes</c><00:20:28.019><c> with</c><00:20:28.319><c> all</c><00:20:28.579><c> this</c><00:20:28.819><c> is,</c><00:20:29.019><c> you</c><00:20:29.119><c> know,</c>

00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:30.160
we've<00:20:29.420><c> got</c><00:20:29.480><c> to</c><00:20:29.579><c> think</c><00:20:29.720><c> about,</c>

00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:32.839
how<00:20:30.700><c> does</c><00:20:30.900><c> all</c><00:20:31.140><c> this</c><00:20:31.380><c> relate</c><00:20:31.660><c> to</c><00:20:31.900><c> us?</c>

00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:35.160
What<00:20:33.200><c> has</c><00:20:33.319><c> all</c><00:20:33.519><c> this</c><00:20:33.720><c> got</c><00:20:33.859><c> to</c><00:20:34.000><c> do</c><00:20:34.079><c> with</c><00:20:34.299><c> us</c><00:20:34.539><c> as</c><00:20:34.680><c> we</c><00:20:34.839><c> look</c><00:20:35.000><c> at</c>

00:20:35.160 --> 00:20:35.599
these<00:20:35.380><c> things,</c>

00:20:35.660 --> 00:20:38.759
the<00:20:35.880><c> sins</c><00:20:36.019><c> of</c><00:20:36.220><c> the</c><00:20:36.420><c> people,</c><00:20:36.720><c> the</c><00:20:36.819><c> way</c><00:20:36.940><c> they</c><00:20:37.319><c> turned,</c><00:20:37.960><c> constantly</c><00:20:38.380><c> turned</c>

00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:39.960
back<00:20:39.059><c> away</c><00:20:39.319><c> from</c><00:20:39.559><c> God,</c>

00:20:40.259 --> 00:20:42.259
constantly<00:20:40.700><c> wanted</c><00:20:40.960><c> to</c><00:20:41.119><c> do</c><00:20:41.279><c> things</c><00:20:41.519><c> their</c><00:20:41.740><c> own</c><00:20:42.019><c> way,</c>

00:20:42.299 --> 00:20:44.619
and<00:20:42.420><c> there</c><00:20:42.519><c> are</c><00:20:42.519><c> plenty</c><00:20:42.779><c> of</c><00:20:43.039><c> examples</c><00:20:43.519><c> of</c><00:20:44.059><c> how</c><00:20:44.220><c> they</c><00:20:44.460><c> should</c>

00:20:44.619 --> 00:20:46.359
have<00:20:44.740><c> been</c><00:20:44.880><c> acting</c><00:20:45.160><c> and</c><00:20:45.440><c> behaving.</c>

00:20:46.539 --> 00:20:53.940
So<00:20:47.019><c> we</c><00:20:47.380><c> have,</c><00:20:50.960><c> I</c><00:20:52.460><c> can't</c><00:20:52.680><c> even</c><00:20:52.799><c> read</c><00:20:52.839><c> my</c><00:20:53.019><c> own</c><00:20:53.200><c> writing.</c>

00:20:54.720 --> 00:20:57.279
So<00:20:55.200><c> we</c><00:20:55.359><c> all</c><00:20:55.500><c> have</c><00:20:55.660><c> a</c><00:20:56.220><c> choice.</c>

00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:01.519
And<00:20:58.299><c> basically,</c><00:20:58.759><c> we</c><00:20:59.059><c> made</c><00:20:59.319><c> that</c><00:20:59.680><c> choice</c><00:21:00.160><c> at</c><00:21:00.420><c> our</c><00:21:00.599><c> baptism.</c>

00:21:01.980 --> 00:21:04.700
At<00:21:02.180><c> our</c><00:21:02.339><c> baptism,</c><00:21:02.759><c> we</c><00:21:02.980><c> said</c><00:21:03.099><c> we</c><00:21:03.259><c> wanted</c><00:21:03.460><c> to</c><00:21:03.680><c> serve</c><00:21:03.839><c> God.</c>

00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:06.359
We<00:21:04.960><c> wanted</c><00:21:05.180><c> to</c><00:21:05.420><c> follow</c><00:21:05.640><c> his</c><00:21:05.900><c> ways.</c>

00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:10.200
This<00:21:07.039><c> is</c><00:21:07.259><c> what</c><00:21:07.380><c> we</c><00:21:07.680><c> desire,</c><00:21:08.259><c> to</c><00:21:08.380><c> live</c><00:21:08.500><c> a</c><00:21:08.740><c> spiritual</c><00:21:09.180><c> life,</c><00:21:09.640><c> life</c><00:21:09.920><c> of</c>

00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:10.900
serving<00:21:10.440><c> God,</c>

00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:14.099
and<00:21:11.460><c> give</c><00:21:11.579><c> up</c><00:21:11.759><c> the</c><00:21:12.000><c> worldly</c><00:21:12.240><c> life</c><00:21:12.700><c> people</c><00:21:13.119><c> strove</c><00:21:13.599><c> for</c><00:21:13.839><c> all</c>

00:21:14.099 --> 00:21:14.619
around<00:21:14.400><c> us.</c>

00:21:14.619 --> 00:21:18.819
I<00:21:14.759><c> mean,</c><00:21:15.460><c> we</c><00:21:16.180><c> look</c><00:21:16.500><c> at</c><00:21:16.960><c> what's</c><00:21:17.400><c> going</c><00:21:17.599><c> on</c><00:21:17.779><c> around</c><00:21:18.079><c> us</c><00:21:18.400><c> each</c><00:21:18.660><c> and</c>

00:21:18.819 --> 00:21:19.160
every<00:21:19.019><c> day.</c>

00:21:19.220 --> 00:21:21.279
We<00:21:19.359><c> see</c><00:21:19.599><c> the</c><00:21:19.880><c> chaos</c><00:21:20.259><c> going</c><00:21:20.559><c> on</c><00:21:20.759><c> in</c><00:21:20.900><c> the</c><00:21:21.059><c> world.</c>

00:21:21.599 --> 00:21:25.319
We<00:21:21.759><c> see</c><00:21:21.900><c> the</c><00:21:22.200><c> corruption</c><00:21:22.660><c> in</c><00:21:23.740><c> the</c><00:21:24.220><c> world,</c><00:21:24.460><c> the</c><00:21:24.720><c> politics,</c><00:21:25.200><c> the</c>

00:21:27.180 --> 00:21:29.039
I<00:21:27.200><c> mean,</c><00:21:27.359><c> there's</c><00:21:27.500><c> so</c><00:21:27.720><c> much</c><00:21:27.880><c> that's</c><00:21:28.119><c> taking</c><00:21:28.319><c> over</c><00:21:28.539><c> the</c><00:21:28.700><c> whole</c>

00:21:31.619 --> 00:21:35.859
It's<00:21:32.039><c> easy</c><00:21:32.339><c> for</c><00:21:32.539><c> us</c><00:21:32.859><c> to</c><00:21:33.740><c> wane</c><00:21:33.920><c> a</c><00:21:34.079><c> bit,</c><00:21:34.880><c> because</c><00:21:35.160><c> emotionally</c>

All<00:21:48.279><c> these</c><00:21:48.480><c> things</c><00:21:48.640><c> can</c><00:21:48.799><c> be</c><00:21:48.960><c> a</c><00:21:49.019><c> little</c><00:21:49.200><c> overwhelming</c><00:21:49.779><c> to</c><00:21:50.079><c> us.</c>

00:21:51.240 --> 00:21:52.140
But<00:21:51.380><c> what</c><00:21:51.440><c> do</c><00:21:51.599><c> we</c><00:21:51.740><c> do?</c>

00:21:52.619 --> 00:21:54.500
How<00:21:52.839><c> do</c><00:21:53.019><c> we</c><00:21:53.119><c> handle</c><00:21:53.460><c> all</c><00:21:53.720><c> this?</c>

00:21:54.680 --> 00:21:57.000
We<00:21:54.839><c> have</c><00:21:55.059><c> to</c><00:21:55.220><c> remember</c><00:21:55.599><c> God's</c><00:21:56.079><c> words</c><00:21:56.359><c> to</c><00:21:56.579><c> us.</c>

00:21:57.259 --> 00:22:00.099
We<00:21:57.420><c> have</c><00:21:57.640><c> a</c><00:21:57.839><c> hope</c><00:21:58.220><c> that</c><00:21:58.759><c> the</c><00:21:58.980><c> world</c><00:21:59.220><c> does</c><00:21:59.559><c> not</c><00:21:59.839><c> have,</c>

00:22:00.119 --> 00:22:02.380
because<00:22:00.319><c> we</c><00:22:00.480><c> have</c><00:22:00.599><c> an</c><00:22:00.799><c> understanding</c><00:22:01.220><c> of</c><00:22:01.440><c> the</c><00:22:01.579><c> Word</c><00:22:01.680><c> of</c><00:22:02.000><c> God.</c>

00:22:02.700 --> 00:22:06.339
And<00:22:03.019><c> we</c><00:22:03.200><c> realize</c><00:22:03.579><c> that</c><00:22:03.839><c> in</c><00:22:04.000><c> these</c><00:22:04.319><c> times,</c><00:22:05.799><c> things</c><00:22:06.000><c> are</c><00:22:06.220><c> going</c>

00:22:07.400 --> 00:22:09.180

00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:04.960

00:25:46.220 --> 00:25:48.700
Sometimes<00:25:46.740><c> we're</c><00:25:47.420><c> going</c><00:25:47.539><c> through</c><00:25:47.720><c> things</c><00:25:48.019><c> to</c><00:25:48.339><c> kind</c><00:25:48.539><c> of</c><00:25:48.619><c> get</c>

00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:51.619
Sometimes<00:25:50.799><c> it's</c><00:25:50.980><c> not</c><00:25:51.160><c> even</c><00:25:51.359><c> us.</c>

00:25:51.619 --> 00:25:54.119
Sometimes<00:25:52.099><c> we're</c><00:25:52.380><c> being</c><00:25:52.619><c> used</c><00:25:52.960><c> as</c><00:25:53.180><c> an</c><00:25:53.380><c> example,</c><00:25:53.680><c> an</c><00:25:53.920><c> object</c>

lesson<00:25:54.400><c> for</c><00:25:54.619><c> somebody</c><00:25:54.980><c> else.</c>

00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:57.640
It's<00:25:55.759><c> going</c><00:25:55.839><c> to</c><00:25:55.960><c> go</c><00:25:56.099><c> through</c><00:25:56.259><c> things</c><00:25:56.480><c> and</c><00:25:56.619><c> you're</c><00:25:56.859><c> the</c><00:25:57.079><c> strong</c><00:25:57.319><c> one</c>

00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:00.500

00:26:01.900 --> 00:26:04.779
So<00:26:02.059><c> there's</c><00:26:02.160><c> many</c><00:26:02.400><c> different</c><00:26:02.680><c> ways</c><00:26:03.160><c> that</c><00:26:03.400><c> God</c><00:26:03.619><c> got</c><00:26:03.839><c> into</c><00:26:04.119><c> our</c><00:26:04.400><c> lives</c>

00:26:04.779 --> 00:26:07.180
and<00:26:05.200><c> we</c><00:26:05.279><c> have</c><00:26:05.380><c> to</c><00:26:05.460><c> accept</c><00:26:05.940><c> whatever</c><00:26:06.240><c> comes</c><00:26:06.579><c> our</c><00:26:06.839><c> way.</c>

00:26:12.819 --> 00:26:15.299
You<00:26:12.920><c> know,</c><00:26:12.980><c> there's</c><00:26:13.160><c> always</c><00:26:13.420><c> something</c><00:26:13.740><c> that</c><00:26:14.720><c> comes</c><00:26:14.960><c> up</c><00:26:15.140><c> in</c>

our<00:26:15.500><c> lives</c>

00:26:15.700 --> 00:26:18.140
that<00:26:15.920><c> could</c><00:26:16.539><c> pull</c><00:26:16.779><c> us</c><00:26:17.019><c> a</c><00:26:17.119><c> bit</c><00:26:17.240><c> one</c><00:26:17.440><c> way</c><00:26:17.640><c> or</c><00:26:17.819><c> another</c>

00:26:20.980 --> 00:26:23.900
I<00:26:21.220><c> mean,</c><00:26:21.539><c> we</c><00:26:21.660><c> have</c><00:26:21.859><c> a</c><00:26:21.980><c> history</c><00:26:22.339><c> before</c><00:26:22.740><c> us</c><00:26:22.900><c> that</c><00:26:23.019><c> we</c><00:26:23.160><c> read</c><00:26:23.339><c> the</c><00:26:23.579><c> readings.</c>

00:26:24.240 --> 00:26:25.940

00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:30.180
They<00:26:28.839><c> did</c><00:26:28.960><c> good</c><00:26:29.339><c> and</c><00:26:29.460><c> then</c><00:26:29.619><c> they</c><00:26:29.680><c> went</c><00:26:29.819><c> bad.</c>

00:26:30.480 --> 00:26:32.980
And<00:26:30.660><c> then</c><00:26:30.779><c> we</c><00:26:30.900><c> can't</c><00:26:31.220><c> imitate</c><00:26:31.539><c> that</c><00:26:31.839><c> in</c><00:26:32.019><c> our</c><00:26:32.240><c> lives</c><00:26:32.519><c> each</c><00:26:32.839><c> day</c>

00:26:41.579 --> 00:26:43.880
because<00:26:42.019><c> there's</c><00:26:42.240><c> so</c><00:26:42.480><c> many</c><00:26:42.680><c> things</c><00:26:42.900><c> that</c><00:26:43.059><c> will</c><00:26:43.220><c> pull</c><00:26:43.359><c> us</c><00:26:43.619><c> back</c>

because<00:26:49.960><c> it</c><00:26:50.440><c> doesn't</c><00:26:50.700><c> matter</c><00:26:50.920><c> what</c><00:26:51.119><c> happens</c><00:26:51.480><c> from</c><00:26:51.759><c> here.</c>

00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:54.519
If<00:26:52.740><c> I</c><00:26:52.920><c> fall</c><00:26:53.160><c> asleep</c><00:26:53.400><c> tomorrow,</c>
