00:24:29.789 --> 00:24:31.670
it<00:24:30.269><c> is</c><00:24:30.450><c> leading</c><00:24:30.789><c> towards</c><00:24:31.210><c> the</c><00:24:31.369><c> Lord</c><00:24:31.529><c> God</c>

00:24:39.990 --> 00:24:41.769
But<00:24:40.109><c> you</c><00:24:40.269><c> know</c><00:24:40.349><c> there</c><00:24:40.509><c> are</c><00:24:40.890><c> other</c><00:24:41.210><c> principles</c>

00:24:47.789 --> 00:24:50.269
Things<00:24:48.009><c> that</c><00:24:48.170><c> we</c><00:24:48.309><c> need</c><00:24:48.490><c> to</c><00:24:48.769><c> take</c><00:24:49.049><c> into</c><00:24:49.589><c> account</c>

00:24:50.269 --> 00:24:51.829
when<00:24:50.869><c> we're</c><00:24:51.490><c> talking</c>

For<00:24:53.990><c> example,</c><00:24:54.269><c> I'll</c><00:24:54.430><c> mention</c><00:24:54.670><c> a</c><00:24:54.910><c> few.</c>

00:24:56.890 --> 00:24:57.869
There<00:24:57.049><c> is</c><00:24:57.269><c> that</c><00:24:57.490><c> passage</c><00:24:57.710><c> in</c>

man<00:25:01.009><c> anything.</c>

00:25:02.869 --> 00:25:03.950
There<00:25:03.049><c> are</c><00:25:03.170><c> those</c><00:25:03.369><c> verses</c><00:25:03.589><c> that</c><00:25:03.750><c> we</c><00:25:03.869><c> were</c>

00:25:03.950 --> 00:25:06.130
looking<00:25:04.109><c> at</c><00:25:04.250><c> yesterday</c><00:25:04.730><c> in</c><00:25:05.250><c> 1</c><00:25:05.490><c> Thessalonians</c>

00:25:06.130 --> 00:25:08.069
2,<00:25:06.410><c> 3</c><00:25:06.789><c> and</c><00:25:06.990><c> 4</c><00:25:07.470><c> that</c><00:25:07.890><c> made</c>

00:25:08.069 --> 00:25:10.349
it<00:25:08.349><c> quite</c><00:25:08.529><c> clear</c><00:25:08.789><c> that</c><00:25:08.930><c> we</c><00:25:09.049><c> needed</c><00:25:09.250><c> to</c><00:25:09.470><c> work</c><00:25:09.809><c> hard</c>

00:25:10.349 --> 00:25:12.470
and<00:25:10.789><c> not</c><00:25:10.970><c> to</c><00:25:11.109><c> be</c><00:25:11.289><c> a</c><00:25:11.430><c> burden</c><00:25:11.670><c> to</c><00:25:11.950><c> anybody</c>

00:25:12.470 --> 00:25:14.170
and<00:25:13.069><c> if</c><00:25:13.289><c> a</c><00:25:13.390><c> person</c><00:25:13.609><c> didn't</c><00:25:13.910><c> do</c>

00:25:14.170 --> 00:25:16.130
that,<00:25:15.210><c> they</c><00:25:15.230><c> were</c><00:25:15.569><c> and</c><00:25:15.910><c> provide</c>

00:25:16.130 --> 00:25:18.089
for<00:25:16.349><c> their</c><00:25:16.630><c> own</c><00:25:16.970><c> or</c><00:25:17.690><c> wouldn't</c>

00:25:18.089 --> 00:25:19.730
provide<00:25:18.450><c> for</c><00:25:18.670><c> their</c><00:25:18.849><c> own</c><00:25:18.970><c> when</c><00:25:19.069><c> they</c><00:25:19.250><c> could</c><00:25:19.390><c> have</c><00:25:19.509><c> done</c>

00:25:19.730 --> 00:25:22.089
then<00:25:20.109><c> they</c><00:25:20.269><c> were</c><00:25:20.430><c> worse</c><00:25:20.670><c> than</c><00:25:20.849><c> an</c><00:25:20.990><c> unbeliever.</c>

00:25:22.349 --> 00:25:23.670
So<00:25:22.470><c> that's</c><00:25:22.730><c> another</c><00:25:22.910><c> set</c><00:25:23.069><c> of</c><00:25:23.269><c> principles.</c>

00:25:23.950 --> 00:25:26.089
The<00:25:24.130><c> obligation</c><00:25:24.650><c> to</c><00:25:24.950><c> provide</c><00:25:25.390><c> for</c>

00:25:26.089 --> 00:25:27.250
our<00:25:26.390><c> own.</c>

00:25:28.190 --> 00:25:30.170
And<00:25:28.549><c> I'm</c><00:25:28.750><c> looking</c><00:25:28.930><c> at</c><00:25:29.069><c> it</c><00:25:29.190><c> now</c><00:25:29.329><c> you</c><00:25:29.549><c> see</c><00:25:29.670><c> from</c><00:25:29.849><c> the</c><00:25:30.009><c> point</c>

00:25:30.170 --> 00:25:32.109
of<00:25:30.289><c> view</c><00:25:30.470><c> of</c><00:25:30.549><c> somebody</c><00:25:30.769><c> who</c><00:25:30.990><c> has</c><00:25:31.089><c> fallen</c><00:25:31.230><c> on</c><00:25:31.430><c> hard</c><00:25:31.710><c> times.</c>

00:25:32.109 --> 00:25:34.609
There's<00:25:32.849><c> also</c><00:25:33.190><c> the</c><00:25:33.410><c> obligation</c><00:25:33.890><c> to</c>

00:25:34.609 --> 00:25:36.369
be<00:25:34.910><c> properly</c><00:25:35.369><c> accountable</c><00:25:36.130><c> for</c>

00:25:36.369 --> 00:25:38.349
the<00:25:36.549><c> things</c><00:25:36.730><c> that</c><00:25:36.910><c> we</c><00:25:37.130><c> have</c><00:25:37.390><c> and</c><00:25:37.930><c> diligent</c>

00:25:38.349 --> 00:25:40.529
in<00:25:38.609><c> the</c><00:25:38.730><c> way</c><00:25:38.910><c> that</c><00:25:39.109><c> we</c><00:25:39.269><c> handle</c><00:25:39.750><c> our</c><00:25:40.210><c> money.</c>

00:25:40.710 --> 00:25:42.390
If<00:25:40.809><c> you</c><00:25:40.809><c> want</c><00:25:40.869><c> to</c><00:25:41.069><c> make</c><00:25:41.230><c> a</c><00:25:41.430><c> reference,</c><00:25:42.089><c> have</c><00:25:42.190><c> a</c><00:25:42.250><c> look</c>

00:25:42.390 --> 00:25:44.190

and<00:25:44.670><c> the</c><00:25:44.809><c> first</c>

00:25:46.569 --> 00:25:48.490
well<00:25:47.170><c> 10</c><00:25:47.369><c> verses</c><00:25:47.950><c> or</c>

00:25:48.490 --> 00:25:50.670
so<00:25:49.029><c> is</c><00:25:49.490><c> where</c><00:25:49.869><c> Joash</c>

00:25:50.829 --> 00:25:52.109
says<00:25:51.430><c> to</c><00:25:51.670><c> the</c><00:25:51.829><c> priests</c>

00:25:52.109 --> 00:25:55.049
we<00:25:52.369><c> need</c><00:25:52.690><c> to</c><00:25:52.869><c> repair</c><00:25:53.509><c> the</c><00:25:53.950><c> temple.</c>

00:25:55.710 --> 00:25:56.289
Now<00:25:56.029><c> get</c>

00:25:56.289 --> 00:25:58.230
some<00:25:56.589><c> collections</c><00:25:56.990><c> going</c><00:25:57.369><c> and</c><00:25:57.750><c> then</c><00:25:57.970><c> repair</c>

00:25:58.230 --> 00:26:00.269
it<00:25:58.549><c> but</c><00:25:58.650><c> it</c><00:25:58.750><c> was</c><00:25:58.950><c> handled</c><00:25:59.210><c> very</c><00:25:59.549><c> very</c><00:25:59.809><c> sloppily</c>

00:26:00.269 --> 00:26:02.430
and<00:26:00.710><c> so</c><00:26:00.950><c> Joash</c><00:26:01.410><c> set</c><00:26:01.710><c> up</c><00:26:01.950><c> a</c><00:26:02.190><c> different</c>

00:36:43.389 --> 00:36:45.210
as<00:36:43.630><c> well</c><00:36:44.050><c> and</c><00:36:44.309><c> that's</c>

00:36:45.210 --> 00:36:46.590
equally<00:36:45.690><c> influential</c>

00:36:46.590 --> 00:36:49.130
in<00:36:47.230><c> creating</c><00:36:48.349><c> dependency</c>

00:36:51.630 --> 00:36:53.030

00:36:55.050 --> 00:36:56.710
So<00:36:55.190><c> we</c><00:36:55.369><c> think</c><00:36:55.590><c> of</c><00:36:55.789><c> those,</c><00:36:56.010><c> we</c><00:36:56.050><c> think</c><00:36:56.230><c> of</c><00:36:56.429><c> alcohol</c>

00:36:56.710 --> 00:36:58.789

00:39:29.730 --> 00:39:31.670
It's<00:39:30.050><c> that</c><00:39:30.230><c> well</c><00:39:30.449><c> known</c><00:39:30.610><c> passage</c><00:39:30.989><c> in</c><00:39:31.170><c> the</c><00:39:31.349><c> baptism</c>

00:40:18.449 --> 00:40:19.630
All<00:40:18.650><c> right</c><00:40:18.750><c> well</c><00:40:18.949><c> we'll</c><00:40:19.349><c> just</c><00:40:19.489><c> think</c>

00:40:19.630 --> 00:40:21.349
about<00:40:19.829><c> that</c><00:40:20.130><c> in</c><00:40:20.130><c> a</c><00:40:20.210><c> very</c><00:40:20.349><c> little</c><00:40:20.550><c> bit.</c><00:40:20.690><c> I</c><00:40:20.849><c> won't</c><00:40:20.949><c> be</c><00:40:21.050><c> able</c><00:40:21.190><c> to</c>

00:40:23.650 --> 00:40:24.510
time.

00:40:25.329 --> 00:40:28.489
I<00:40:25.530><c> think</c><00:40:25.670><c> the</c><00:40:25.849><c> first</c><00:40:25.989><c> thing</c><00:40:26.130><c> to</c><00:40:26.289><c> say</c><00:40:26.429><c> that</c><00:40:26.909><c> in</c><00:40:27.130><c> Scripture</c>

00:40:33.949 --> 00:40:35.389
We<00:40:34.349><c> know</c><00:40:34.590><c> that.</c><00:40:34.949><c> They</c><00:40:34.949><c> could</c><00:40:35.110><c> actually</c>

00:40:35.389 --> 00:40:37.650
buy<00:40:36.030><c> it</c><00:40:36.590><c> although</c><00:40:36.949><c> there's</c><00:40:37.230><c> a</c><00:40:37.409><c> reference</c>

00:40:48.369 --> 00:40:49.750
You<00:40:48.550><c> remember</c><00:40:48.769><c> in</c><00:40:48.929><c> Matthew</c>

00:40:49.750 --> 00:40:51.690
11<00:40:50.769><c> it</c><00:40:51.409><c> says</c>

00:40:51.690 --> 00:40:53.650
John<00:40:52.090><c> Baptist</c><00:40:52.489><c> came</c><00:40:52.809><c> and</c><00:40:52.929><c> he</c><00:40:53.010><c> was</c><00:40:53.230><c> miserable</c>

00:40:53.650 --> 00:40:55.610
the<00:40:54.070><c> Lord</c><00:40:54.289><c> Jesus</c><00:40:54.650><c> comes</c><00:40:54.929><c> and</c><00:40:55.050><c> he's</c><00:40:55.230><c> a</c><00:40:55.409><c> wine</c>

00:40:59.789 --> 00:41:01.989
The<00:40:59.949><c> Lord</c><00:41:00.110><c> turned</c><00:41:00.750><c> water</c><00:41:01.710><c> into</c>

00:41:22.789 --> 00:41:23.750
It's<00:41:23.250><c> what</c>
