00:02:41.740 --> 00:02:46.860
I<00:02:41.900><c> don't</c><00:02:42.759><c> believe</c><00:02:43.219><c> that</c><00:02:43.599><c> Southern</c><00:02:43.800><c> California</c><00:02:44.719><c> had</c><00:02:45.159><c> it</c><00:02:45.319><c> as</c><00:02:45.620><c> hard,</c><00:02:45.919><c> probably,</c><00:02:46.580><c> as</c>

00:05:47.420 --> 00:05:49.959

00:06:00.139 --> 00:06:03.300
Now,<00:06:00.399><c> remember,</c><00:06:01.120><c> that</c><00:06:01.319><c> was</c><00:06:01.560><c> based</c><00:06:01.860><c> on</c><00:06:02.139><c> 132</c><00:06:02.920><c> members.</c>

00:06:03.740 --> 00:06:07.879

00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:24.879

00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:31.759
That's<00:06:29.139><c> significantly</c><00:06:29.959><c> different</c><00:06:30.600><c> than</c><00:06:31.079><c> what</c><00:06:31.279><c> we</c><00:06:31.579><c> see</c>

So<00:07:52.819><c> it</c><00:07:52.959><c> was</c><00:07:53.199><c> a</c><00:07:53.379><c> $900</c><00:07:53.959><c> fee</c><00:07:54.540><c> to</c><00:07:55.079><c> be</c><00:07:55.300><c> able</c><00:07:55.500><c> to</c><00:07:55.680><c> go</c><00:07:55.839><c> on</c><00:07:56.019><c> for</c><00:07:56.259><c> 30</c><00:07:56.540><c> minutes.</c>

00:07:57.899 --> 00:08:03.540

00:08:03.980 --> 00:08:05.540
Now,<00:08:04.180><c> this</c><00:08:04.379><c> is</c><00:08:04.540><c> the</c><00:08:04.639><c> one</c><00:08:04.740><c> that</c><00:08:04.920><c> kind</c><00:08:05.019><c> of</c><00:08:05.199><c> shocked</c><00:08:05.360><c> me.</c>

00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:09.660
We<00:08:05.759><c> talked</c><00:08:05.980><c> about</c><00:08:06.240><c> the</c><00:08:06.540><c> LA</c><00:08:06.720><c> Ecclesia</c><00:08:07.060><c> having</c><00:08:07.360><c> 132</c><00:08:07.980><c> members</c><00:08:08.600><c> in</c>

00:08:11.500 --> 00:08:16.480
How<00:08:11.939><c> many</c><00:08:12.240><c> people</c><00:08:12.660><c> came</c><00:08:13.279><c> to</c><00:08:14.100><c> the</c><00:08:14.300><c> Bible</c><00:08:14.560><c> class</c><00:08:15.000><c> in</c><00:08:15.199><c> the</c><00:08:15.319><c> midweek?</c>

00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:18.620
Eighteen.

00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:20.860
Thirteen<00:08:19.879><c> percent.</c>

00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:25.639
Obviously,<00:08:23.420><c> I</c><00:08:23.439><c> wasn't</c><00:08:23.660><c> around</c><00:08:23.939><c> to</c><00:08:24.079><c> be</c><00:08:24.199><c> able</c><00:08:24.379><c> to</c><00:08:24.480><c> know</c><00:08:24.579><c> the</c><00:08:24.699><c> reasons.</c>

00:08:25.759 --> 00:08:29.199

00:08:29.339 --> 00:08:29.980

00:08:30.300 --> 00:08:34.620
Certainly,<00:08:31.160><c> in</c><00:08:31.980><c> 1926,</c><00:08:33.259><c> just</c><00:08:33.460><c> hopping</c><00:08:33.679><c> in</c><00:08:33.860><c> your</c><00:08:34.100><c> car</c>

00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:40.840
But<00:08:38.259><c> I</c><00:08:38.360><c> wanted</c><00:08:38.580><c> to</c><00:08:38.820><c> draw</c><00:08:38.899><c> your</c><00:08:39.120><c> attention</c><00:08:39.500><c> to</c><00:08:39.879><c> that,</c><00:08:40.220><c> you</c><00:08:40.480><c> know,</c>

00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:44.960
if<00:08:41.460><c> we</c><00:08:41.679><c> get</c><00:08:41.960><c> this</c><00:08:42.200><c> idea</c><00:08:42.779><c> that</c><00:08:43.120><c> in</c><00:08:43.279><c> the</c><00:08:43.480><c> old</c><00:08:43.700><c> days,</c><00:08:44.899><c> everybody</c>

00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:48.340

00:08:48.539 --> 00:08:50.500
That<00:08:49.019><c> wasn't</c><00:08:49.399><c> the</c><00:08:49.620><c> case.</c>

00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.559
Now,<00:08:50.940><c> look</c><00:08:51.059><c> at</c><00:08:51.179><c> the</c><00:08:51.399><c> schedule</c><00:08:51.679><c> they</c><00:08:51.940><c> had</c><00:08:52.240><c> for</c><00:08:52.700><c> a</c><00:08:52.860><c> Bible</c><00:08:53.059><c> class.</c>

00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:55.879

00:09:08.059 --> 00:09:11.139

Especially<00:09:11.940><c> for</c><00:09:12.139><c> 18</c><00:09:12.440><c> people.</c>

00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:22.919

00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:41.000

00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:44.320
So<00:09:41.600><c> they</c><00:09:41.820><c> decided</c><00:09:42.179><c> at</c><00:09:42.360><c> that</c><00:09:42.620><c> point</c><00:09:42.779><c> to</c><00:09:43.039><c> form</c><00:09:43.240><c> a</c><00:09:43.419><c> Bible</c><00:09:43.700><c> class</c>

00:09:52.440 --> 00:09:54.220
So<00:09:52.860><c> that's</c><00:09:53.399><c> another</c><00:09:53.620><c> interesting</c><00:09:54.000><c> thing.</c>

00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:57.200

00:10:07.460 --> 00:10:08.299

00:10:08.299 --> 00:10:13.919

Where's<00:10:15.879><c> David?</c>

00:12:58.980 --> 00:13:02.600
Now,<00:12:59.360><c> that</c><00:12:59.679><c> was</c><00:12:59.879><c> the</c><00:13:00.039><c> first</c><00:13:00.220><c> one</c><00:13:00.399><c> and</c><00:13:00.460><c> it</c><00:13:00.639><c> was</c><00:13:00.899><c> microscopic</c><00:13:01.860><c> writing</c><00:13:02.360><c> on</c>

00:13:56.740 --> 00:13:58.159
And<00:13:57.179><c> how</c><00:13:57.340><c> would</c><00:13:57.500><c> we</c><00:13:57.639><c> do</c><00:13:57.840><c> that?</c>

00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.440
Would<00:13:58.600><c> we</c><00:13:58.899><c> go</c><00:13:59.080><c> in</c><00:13:59.240><c> a</c><00:13:59.360><c> room</c><00:13:59.519><c> and</c><00:13:59.779><c> come</c><00:13:59.940><c> out</c><00:14:00.120><c> with</c><00:14:00.279><c> an</c><00:14:00.480><c> edict</c><00:14:00.879><c> or</c>

00:14:03.419 --> 00:14:06.299
This<00:14:03.860><c> may</c><00:14:04.080><c> seem</c><00:14:04.259><c> like</c><00:14:04.460><c> a</c><00:14:04.659><c> small</c><00:14:04.820><c> thing</c><00:14:05.039><c> to</c><00:14:05.279><c> us,</c><00:14:05.519><c> but</c><00:14:05.740><c> it</c><00:14:05.919><c> was</c><00:14:06.179><c> a</c>

And<00:14:08.000><c> they</c><00:14:08.440><c> made</c><00:14:08.679><c> a</c><00:14:08.980><c> recommendation.</c>

00:14:09.519 --> 00:14:13.399
They<00:14:09.799><c> look</c><00:14:10.080><c> on</c><00:14:10.320><c> disfavor</c><00:14:11.120><c> about</c><00:14:11.580><c> the</c><00:14:11.820><c> use</c><00:14:12.120><c> of</c><00:14:12.460><c> tobacco.</c>

00:14:13.580 --> 00:14:17.480
Now,<00:14:14.919><c> I</c><00:14:15.259><c> used</c><00:14:15.419><c> to</c><00:14:15.620><c> think</c><00:14:15.879><c> when</c><00:14:16.220><c> I</c><00:14:16.320><c> would</c><00:14:16.519><c> hear</c><00:14:16.700><c> about</c><00:14:17.200><c> my</c>

when<00:14:22.279><c> she</c><00:14:22.440><c> was</c><00:14:22.639><c> a</c><00:14:22.759><c> young</c><00:14:22.919><c> girl,</c>

00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:27.600
I<00:14:24.379><c> used</c><00:14:24.580><c> to</c><00:14:24.740><c> think,</c><00:14:25.279><c> well,</c><00:14:26.080><c> what's</c><00:14:26.379><c> the</c><00:14:26.519><c> big</c><00:14:26.720><c> deal?</c>

But<00:14:28.200><c> it</c><00:14:29.379><c> had</c><00:14:29.980><c> certainly</c><00:14:30.960><c> a</c><00:14:31.299><c> very</c><00:14:31.919><c> different</c><00:14:32.720><c> kind</c><00:14:33.100><c> of</c><00:14:33.320><c> connotation.</c>

00:14:34.179 --> 00:14:37.019
And<00:14:34.500><c> it</c><00:14:34.620><c> was</c><00:14:34.860><c> part</c><00:14:35.240><c> of</c><00:14:35.519><c> a</c><00:14:35.840><c> movement</c><00:14:36.200><c> that</c><00:14:36.340><c> was</c><00:14:36.519><c> going</c><00:14:36.740><c> on</c><00:14:36.879><c> at</c>

that<00:14:37.240><c> time.</c>

00:14:37.559 --> 00:14:39.759
So<00:14:38.019><c> do</c><00:14:38.240><c> Christadelphians</c><00:14:38.840><c> need</c><00:14:39.039><c> to</c><00:14:39.320><c> respond?</c>

00:14:39.899 --> 00:14:41.720
Well,<00:14:40.620><c> absolutely.</c>

00:14:41.860 --> 00:14:47.639

00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:42.920
And<00:25:41.000><c> so,</c><00:25:41.599><c> you</c><00:25:41.779><c> know,</c><00:25:42.079><c> here's</c><00:25:42.440><c> the</c><00:25:42.700><c> point.</c>

00:25:43.119 --> 00:25:47.099
Every<00:25:43.480><c> generation</c><00:25:44.099><c> has</c><00:25:44.519><c> to</c><00:25:44.779><c> decide</c><00:25:45.339><c> based</c><00:25:46.079><c> on</c><00:25:46.240><c> what's</c><00:25:46.579><c> in</c><00:25:46.720><c> front</c><00:25:46.839><c> of</c><00:25:46.960><c> them,</c>

00:25:47.099 --> 00:25:50.079
where<00:25:47.359><c> the</c><00:25:47.700><c> line</c><00:25:47.880><c> is</c><00:25:48.400><c> on</c><00:25:48.839><c> the</c><00:25:49.059><c> moral</c><00:25:49.299><c> issues</c><00:25:49.559><c> of</c><00:25:49.740><c> the</c><00:25:49.900><c> day.</c>

00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:54.640
We<00:25:50.539><c> take</c><00:25:50.839><c> biblical</c><00:25:51.240><c> principles</c><00:25:51.799><c> and</c><00:25:52.339><c> we</c><00:25:52.720><c> apply</c><00:25:53.059><c> them</c><00:25:53.579><c> to</c><00:25:54.220><c> what</c>

00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:57.220
it<00:25:54.859><c> is</c><00:25:55.140><c> that's</c><00:25:55.480><c> going</c><00:25:55.680><c> on</c><00:25:56.140><c> in</c><00:25:56.460><c> our</c><00:25:56.680><c> generation.</c>

00:25:57.579 --> 00:26:00.680
Now,<00:25:57.799><c> some</c><00:25:58.000><c> have</c><00:25:58.259><c> said</c><00:25:58.539><c> that</c><00:25:58.900><c> every</c><00:25:59.180><c> generation</c><00:25:59.859><c> slips</c>

00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:04.559
progressively<00:26:01.599><c> from</c><00:26:02.180><c> the</c><00:26:02.460><c> past</c><00:26:02.660><c> generation</c><00:26:03.279><c> on</c><00:26:03.839><c> moral</c><00:26:04.119><c> issues.</c>

00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:08.059
And<00:26:05.000><c> frankly,</c><00:26:05.400><c> if</c><00:26:05.519><c> you</c><00:26:05.740><c> look</c><00:26:05.960><c> at</c><00:26:06.299><c> this</c><00:26:06.480><c> last</c><00:26:06.980><c> 100</c><00:26:07.480><c> years,</c>

00:26:08.500 --> 00:26:13.039
you<00:26:08.619><c> would</c><00:26:08.819><c> have</c><00:26:08.980><c> to</c><00:26:09.200><c> say</c><00:26:09.420><c> that</c><00:26:10.000><c> we</c><00:26:10.180><c> are</c><00:26:10.619><c> far,</c><00:26:11.059><c> far</c><00:26:11.500><c> more</c><00:26:11.819><c> silent</c><00:26:12.339><c> on</c>

00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:14.039
moral<00:26:13.440><c> issues</c>

00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:17.160
and<00:26:14.539><c> the</c><00:26:14.759><c> things</c><00:26:14.900><c> that</c><00:26:15.059><c> are</c><00:26:15.240><c> facing</c><00:26:15.579><c> our</c><00:26:15.880><c> young</c><00:26:16.099><c> people</c><00:26:16.599><c> and</c>

00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:20.140
our<00:26:17.400><c> ecclesias</c><00:26:17.980><c> than</c><00:26:18.400><c> they</c><00:26:18.660><c> were</c><00:26:18.779><c> at</c><00:26:18.980><c> that</c><00:26:19.200><c> time.</c>

00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:23.319
So<00:26:20.559><c> the</c><00:26:20.660><c> question</c><00:26:20.940><c> is,</c><00:26:21.220><c> have</c><00:26:21.299><c> we</c><00:26:21.559><c> taken</c><00:26:21.759><c> this</c><00:26:22.019><c> role</c><00:26:22.220><c> seriously?</c>

00:26:24.119 --> 00:26:27.900
What<00:26:24.299><c> are</c><00:26:24.480><c> the</c><00:26:24.720><c> consequences</c><00:26:25.440><c> for</c><00:26:25.980><c> non</c><00:26:26.680><c>-vigilance?</c>

00:26:28.900 --> 00:26:31.059
But<00:26:29.220><c> what</c><00:26:29.599><c> is</c><00:26:29.759><c> the</c><00:26:29.920><c> answer</c><00:26:30.140><c> for</c><00:26:30.380><c> today's</c><00:26:30.779><c> problems?</c>

00:26:31.059 --> 00:26:33.799
It's<00:26:31.440><c> not</c><00:26:31.720><c> likely</c><00:26:32.059><c> going</c><00:26:32.240><c> to</c><00:26:32.400><c> be</c><00:26:32.819><c> that</c><00:26:33.240><c> we're</c><00:26:33.480><c> going</c><00:26:33.579><c> to</c>

00:26:33.799 --> 00:26:34.839
effectively<00:26:34.220><c> address</c>

00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:37.640
by<00:26:35.579><c> doing</c><00:26:36.079><c> some</c><00:26:36.460><c> of</c><00:26:36.599><c> the</c><00:26:36.700><c> things</c><00:26:36.839><c> that</c><00:26:37.019><c> they</c><00:26:37.200><c> did,</c>

00:26:37.900 --> 00:26:42.019
which<00:26:38.079><c> were</c><00:26:38.480><c> rigid</c><00:26:38.960><c> formal</c><00:26:39.880><c> ecclesial</c><00:26:40.680><c> rules</c><00:26:41.160><c> and</c><00:26:41.519><c> policies,</c>

00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:44.019
where<00:26:42.599><c> you</c><00:26:42.819><c> not</c><00:26:43.019><c> only</c><00:26:43.240><c> have</c><00:26:43.400><c> to</c><00:26:43.559><c> stop</c><00:26:43.720><c> smoking,</c>

00:26:44.059 --> 00:26:47.299
but<00:26:44.220><c> you</c><00:26:44.460><c> kind</c><00:26:44.579><c> of</c><00:26:44.740><c> come</c><00:26:44.920><c> back</c><00:26:45.480><c> and</c><00:26:45.779><c> you</c><00:26:46.000><c> have</c><00:26:46.240><c> to</c><00:26:46.480><c> give</c><00:26:46.619><c> me</c>

00:26:47.299 --> 00:26:50.180
some<00:26:47.579><c> kind</c><00:26:47.779><c> of</c><00:26:48.000><c> proof</c><00:26:48.160><c> that</c><00:26:48.339><c> you're</c><00:26:48.579><c> actually</c><00:26:48.880><c> going</c><00:26:49.079><c> to</c><00:26:49.299><c> stop.</c>

00:26:51.440 --> 00:26:53.660
That's<00:26:51.920><c> probably</c><00:26:52.259><c> not</c><00:26:52.579><c> going</c><00:26:52.779><c> to</c><00:26:52.880><c> be</c><00:26:53.000><c> the</c><00:26:53.079><c> way</c><00:26:53.180><c> it's</c><00:26:53.440><c> happened.</c>

00:26:54.140 --> 00:26:57.119
But<00:26:54.359><c> what</c><00:26:54.680><c> may</c><00:26:54.900><c> be</c><00:26:55.180><c> important</c><00:26:55.539><c> is</c><00:26:55.859><c> to</c><00:26:56.099><c> make</c><00:26:56.319><c> sure</c><00:26:56.519><c> that</c><00:26:56.819><c> our</c>

00:26:57.119 --> 00:26:57.900
youth<00:26:57.299><c> today</c>

00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:05.400
but<00:27:02.079><c> because</c><00:27:02.539><c> they</c><00:27:02.799><c> see</c><00:27:03.059><c> the</c><00:27:03.380><c> truth</c><00:27:03.759><c> as</c><00:27:04.140><c> being</c><00:27:04.460><c> far</c><00:27:04.880><c> superior</c>

00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:07.839

00:27:08.259 --> 00:27:13.380
And<00:27:08.539><c> that's</c><00:27:08.819><c> why</c><00:27:09.119><c> in</c><00:27:09.339><c> our</c><00:27:09.539><c> ecclesias,</c><00:27:10.440><c> we</c><00:27:10.619><c> have</c><00:27:10.839><c> to</c><00:27:11.079><c> engage</c><00:27:11.480><c> our</c><00:27:11.799><c> youth</c><00:27:12.119><c> early</c><00:27:12.900><c> on</c>

00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:19.960
I<00:27:16.039><c> remember</c><00:27:16.740><c> not</c><00:27:18.519><c> that</c><00:27:18.680><c> I</c><00:27:18.779><c> was</c><00:27:18.940><c> any</c><00:27:19.180><c> smarter</c><00:27:19.460><c> than</c><00:27:19.640><c> anybody</c>

where<00:27:48.400><c> you</c><00:27:48.720><c> do</c><00:27:48.920><c> draw</c><00:27:49.220><c> the</c><00:27:49.460><c> line</c><00:27:49.799><c> through</c><00:27:50.180><c> your</c><00:27:50.400><c> own</c><00:27:50.599><c> actions</c>

00:27:51.019 --> 00:27:52.019
and<00:27:51.539><c> choices.</c>

00:27:52.180 --> 00:27:55.220
And<00:27:52.480><c> be</c><00:27:52.720><c> careful</c><00:27:53.019><c> to</c><00:27:53.279><c> take</c><00:27:53.440><c> a</c><00:27:53.680><c> stand</c><00:27:54.019><c> when</c><00:27:54.500><c> it's</c><00:27:54.759><c> required</c>

00:27:55.220 --> 00:28:00.259
and<00:27:55.559><c> know</c><00:27:56.000><c> when</c><00:27:57.000><c> there</c><00:27:57.279><c> is</c><00:27:57.559><c> personal</c><00:27:58.460><c> liberty</c><00:27:58.799><c> that</c><00:27:59.059><c> governs</c><00:27:59.519><c> something.</c>

00:28:00.380 --> 00:28:02.339
So<00:28:00.599><c> my</c><00:28:00.779><c> last</c><00:28:01.039><c> slide</c><00:28:01.200><c> is</c><00:28:01.380><c> really</c><00:28:01.539><c> this.</c>

00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:04.779
Actually,<00:28:04.019><c> I</c><00:28:04.119><c> have</c><00:28:04.240><c> two</c><00:28:04.480><c> slides.</c>

00:28:05.220 --> 00:28:09.799
We<00:28:05.380><c> are</c><00:28:05.680><c> privileged</c><00:28:06.279><c> to</c><00:28:06.759><c> have</c><00:28:07.140><c> inherited</c><00:28:07.720><c> the</c><00:28:08.440><c> thinking</c><00:28:08.819><c> and</c>

00:28:09.799 --> 00:28:10.819
in<00:28:10.019><c> many</c><00:28:10.279><c> ways,</c>

00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:14.160
the<00:28:11.279><c> good</c><00:28:11.579><c> work</c><00:28:11.819><c> that</c><00:28:11.980><c> was</c><00:28:12.180><c> done</c><00:28:12.440><c> in</c><00:28:12.740><c> our</c><00:28:12.980><c> ecclesias</c><00:28:13.519><c> many,</c>

00:28:14.240 --> 00:28:15.039
many<00:28:14.400><c> years</c><00:28:14.700><c> ago</c>

00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:17.480
to<00:28:15.500><c> learn</c><00:28:15.759><c> from</c><00:28:16.019><c> our</c><00:28:16.220><c> ecclesial</c><00:28:16.579><c> mothers</c><00:28:16.880><c> and</c><00:28:17.099><c> fathers.</c>

00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:21.880
And<00:28:18.119><c> we</c><00:28:18.380><c> need</c><00:28:18.619><c> to</c><00:28:18.920><c> learn</c><00:28:19.059><c> from</c><00:28:19.299><c> the</c><00:28:19.579><c> lessons</c><00:28:19.980><c> that</c><00:28:20.799><c> they</c><00:28:21.160><c> went</c><00:28:21.420><c> through</c>

00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:24.720
and<00:28:22.279><c> say</c><00:28:22.460><c> what</c><00:28:22.799><c> worked</c><00:28:23.099><c> and</c><00:28:23.259><c> what</c><00:28:23.539><c> didn't</c><00:28:23.779><c> work.</c>

00:28:24.799 --> 00:28:30.240
Also<00:28:25.359><c> to</c><00:28:25.619><c> answer</c><00:28:25.980><c> for</c><00:28:26.259><c> ourselves</c><00:28:26.880><c> what</c><00:28:28.220><c> our</c><00:28:28.859><c> stands</c><00:28:29.140><c> today</c><00:28:29.500><c> should</c><00:28:29.720><c> be</c>

00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:33.460
with<00:28:30.859><c> moral</c><00:28:31.319><c> issues</c><00:28:31.720><c> and</c><00:28:31.940><c> perhaps</c><00:28:32.279><c> on</c><00:28:32.500><c> doctrinal</c><00:28:32.920><c> issues.</c>

00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:36.480
And<00:28:33.980><c> then</c><00:28:34.140><c> acknowledge</c><00:28:34.559><c> that</c><00:28:34.880><c> we</c><00:28:35.099><c> are</c><00:28:35.279><c> not</c><00:28:35.539><c> trying</c><00:28:35.819><c> to</c><00:28:36.180><c> hold</c>

00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:38.099
on<00:28:36.759><c> to</c><00:28:36.900><c> the</c><00:28:37.160><c> truth.</c>

00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:40.599
Like<00:28:38.400><c> we're</c><00:28:38.599><c> just</c><00:28:38.940><c> trying</c><00:28:39.099><c> to</c><00:28:39.440><c> hold</c><00:28:39.640><c> on</c><00:28:39.900><c> and</c><00:28:40.019><c> it's</c><00:28:40.279><c> going</c><00:28:40.380><c> to</c>

00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:41.200
slip<00:28:40.759><c> away.</c>

00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:45.579
But<00:28:41.779><c> rather</c><00:28:42.140><c> to</c><00:28:42.759><c> grow</c><00:28:43.140><c> it</c><00:28:43.440><c> and</c><00:28:43.619><c> to</c><00:28:43.819><c> have</c><00:28:43.960><c> it</c><00:28:44.319><c> flourish</c><00:28:44.700><c> in</c><00:28:45.299><c> our</c>

00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:52.539
So<00:28:48.799><c> if</c><00:28:49.359><c> the</c><00:28:49.559><c> Lord</c><00:28:49.720><c> remains</c><00:28:50.200><c> away,</c><00:28:50.660><c> if</c><00:28:51.000><c> 40</c><00:28:51.279><c> years</c><00:28:51.619><c> were</c><00:28:51.799><c> to</c><00:28:51.940><c> go</c><00:28:52.140><c> by</c>

School<00:28:55.900><c> speaker,</c>

00:28:56.779 --> 00:28:59.000
pretty<00:28:57.039><c> much</c><00:28:57.339><c> guarantee</c><00:28:57.640><c> it</c><00:28:57.759><c> won't</c><00:28:57.980><c> be</c><00:28:58.299><c> one</c><00:28:58.480><c> of</c><00:28:58.599><c> the</c><00:28:58.819><c> three</c>

00:29:00.839 --> 00:29:02.859
And<00:29:01.079><c> they</c><00:29:01.200><c> were</c><00:29:01.359><c> to</c><00:29:01.519><c> walk</c><00:29:01.660><c> in</c><00:29:01.960><c> and</c><00:29:02.119><c> they</c><00:29:02.240><c> were</c><00:29:02.380><c> to</c><00:29:02.599><c> say,</c>

00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:06.900
and<00:29:03.279><c> they</c><00:29:03.420><c> were</c><00:29:03.559><c> to</c><00:29:03.740><c> look</c><00:29:03.980><c> back</c><00:29:04.299><c> and</c><00:29:04.500><c> do</c><00:29:04.660><c> this</c><00:29:04.960><c> talk</c><00:29:05.380><c> about</c><00:29:06.400><c> what</c><00:29:06.660><c> was</c>

00:29:06.900 --> 00:29:09.880
going<00:29:07.180><c> on</c><00:29:07.740><c> in</c><00:29:08.480><c> 2016.</c>

00:29:10.559 --> 00:29:13.460
What<00:29:10.700><c> do</c><00:29:10.839><c> you</c><00:29:10.839><c> suppose</c><00:29:11.259><c> they</c><00:29:11.460><c> would</c><00:29:11.720><c> say</c><00:29:12.079><c> is</c><00:29:12.420><c> the</c><00:29:12.640><c> way</c><00:29:12.839><c> that</c><00:29:13.180><c> we</c>

00:29:15.740 --> 00:29:19.500
And<00:29:16.119><c> furthermore,</c><00:29:17.180><c> what</c><00:29:17.339><c> would</c><00:29:17.500><c> be</c><00:29:17.660><c> the</c><00:29:17.900><c> impact</c><00:29:18.279><c> you</c><00:29:18.579><c> feel</c><00:29:18.900><c> of</c>

00:29:26.440 --> 00:29:28.759
And<00:29:26.619><c> so</c><00:29:26.720><c> the</c><00:29:26.859><c> real</c><00:29:27.000><c> question</c><00:29:27.380><c> to</c><00:29:27.500><c> us</c><00:29:27.599><c> is</c><00:29:27.799><c> this.</c>

00:29:28.900 --> 00:29:31.779
How<00:29:29.099><c> would</c><00:29:29.279><c> we</c><00:29:29.519><c> like</c><00:29:29.900><c> to</c><00:29:30.220><c> rewrite</c><00:29:30.539><c> this</c><00:29:30.920><c> story</c><00:29:31.160><c> ourselves?</c>

00:29:32.259 --> 00:29:35.039
How<00:29:32.420><c> would</c><00:29:32.619><c> we</c><00:29:32.859><c> like</c><00:29:33.200><c> the</c><00:29:33.460><c> next</c><00:29:33.740><c> 40</c><00:29:33.980><c> years</c><00:29:34.240><c> if</c><00:29:34.420><c> the</c><00:29:34.599><c> Lord</c><00:29:34.779><c> were</c>

00:29:37.700 --> 00:29:39.880
That's<00:29:38.000><c> the</c><00:29:38.119><c> challenge</c><00:29:38.380><c> I'll</c><00:29:38.599><c> give</c><00:29:38.740><c> to</c><00:29:39.119><c> everyone</c><00:29:39.440><c> in</c><00:29:39.640><c> your</c>

00:29:45.440 --> 00:29:48.660
We<00:29:45.680><c> need</c><00:29:45.859><c> to</c><00:29:46.220><c> think</c><00:29:46.440><c> through</c><00:29:46.839><c> these</c><00:29:47.140><c> challenges</c><00:29:47.660><c> and</c><00:29:48.240><c> how</c><00:29:48.420><c> we</c>

00:29:48.660 --> 00:29:50.000
