00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:49.139

00:08:49.200 --> 00:08:50.639
It's<00:08:49.440><c> not</c><00:08:49.580><c> an</c><00:08:49.759><c> option.</c>

00:08:51.419 --> 00:08:55.500
You<00:08:51.519><c> know,</c><00:08:51.580><c> one</c><00:08:51.700><c> of</c><00:08:51.799><c> the</c><00:08:51.940><c> most</c><00:08:52.340><c> commonly</c><00:08:53.240><c> referred</c><00:08:54.139><c> to</c><00:08:54.639><c> passages</c><00:08:55.080><c> that</c>

the<00:09:03.580><c> Word</c><00:09:03.759><c> of</c><00:09:03.919><c> God.</c>

00:09:05.259 --> 00:09:08.980
And<00:09:05.480><c> we</c><00:09:05.779><c> sort</c><00:09:05.919><c> of</c><00:09:06.100><c> almost</c><00:09:06.379><c> refer</c><00:09:06.840><c> to</c><00:09:07.019><c> that</c><00:09:07.200><c> as</c><00:09:07.519><c> a</c><00:09:07.919><c> definition.</c>

00:09:09.559 --> 00:09:13.639
Faith<00:09:09.799><c> comes</c><00:09:10.120><c> by</c><00:09:10.460><c> hearing,</c><00:09:11.759><c> hearing</c><00:09:11.980><c> by</c><00:09:12.220><c> the</c><00:09:12.399><c> Word</c><00:09:12.559><c> of</c><00:09:12.820><c> God.</c>

00:09:14.000 --> 00:09:16.080
What's<00:09:14.279><c> that</c><00:09:14.480><c> really</c><00:09:14.779><c> talking</c><00:09:15.139><c> about?</c>

00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:20.460
Well,<00:09:17.320><c> that</c><00:09:17.600><c> verse</c><00:09:17.860><c> is</c><00:09:18.120><c> actually</c><00:09:18.399><c> talking</c><00:09:18.740><c> about</c><00:09:19.340><c> preaching.</c>

00:09:21.980 --> 00:09:25.539
Because<00:09:22.419><c> right</c><00:09:22.860><c> before</c><00:09:23.519><c> that,</c><00:09:24.259><c> let</c><00:09:24.419><c> me</c><00:09:24.559><c> read</c><00:09:24.860><c> to</c><00:09:25.019><c> you</c><00:09:25.100><c> what</c><00:09:25.240><c> it</c>

00:09:25.539 --> 00:09:27.700
says,<00:09:25.799><c> it</c><00:09:25.980><c> says,</c><00:09:26.700><c> how</c><00:09:27.100><c> shall</c><00:09:27.379><c> they</c>

00:09:27.700 --> 00:09:31.919
believe<00:09:28.080><c> in</c><00:09:28.480><c> him</c><00:09:28.840><c> of</c><00:09:29.340><c> whom</c><00:09:29.620><c> they</c><00:09:30.019><c> have</c><00:09:30.360><c> not</c><00:09:30.919><c> heard?</c>

00:09:32.899 --> 00:09:35.360
How<00:09:33.080><c> shall</c><00:09:33.279><c> they</c><00:09:33.559><c> hear</c><00:09:33.940><c> without</c><00:09:34.299><c> a</c><00:09:34.580><c> preacher?</c>

00:09:35.620 --> 00:09:42.019
How<00:09:35.919><c> beautiful</c><00:09:36.580><c> are</c><00:09:37.120><c> the</c><00:09:37.320><c> feet</c><00:09:37.440><c> of</c><00:09:37.679><c> them</c><00:09:38.039><c> that</c><00:09:39.139><c> preach</c><00:09:39.539><c> the</c><00:09:40.019><c> gospel</c><00:09:40.460><c> of</c><00:09:40.879><c> peace?</c>

00:09:42.539 --> 00:09:45.860
Then<00:09:43.039><c> it</c><00:09:43.279><c> says,</c><00:09:43.720><c> faith</c><00:09:44.080><c> comes</c><00:09:44.360><c> by</c><00:09:44.679><c> hearing</c><00:09:44.940><c> and</c><00:09:45.360><c> hearing</c><00:09:45.600><c> by</c>

the<00:09:46.039><c> Word</c><00:09:46.179><c> of</c><00:09:46.419><c> God.</c>

00:09:47.580 --> 00:09:52.919
So<00:09:47.879><c> our</c><00:09:48.139><c> obligation</c><00:09:48.759><c> is</c><00:09:49.200><c> to</c><00:09:49.559><c> help</c><00:09:49.960><c> people</c><00:09:50.700><c> hear</c><00:09:51.440><c> the</c><00:09:52.240><c> Word</c><00:09:52.440><c> of</c><00:09:52.700><c> God.</c>

00:09:52.919 --> 00:09:57.600
That's<00:09:53.940><c> what</c><00:09:54.320><c> generates</c><00:09:55.080><c> the</c><00:09:55.960><c> faithful</c><00:09:56.320><c> response.</c>

00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:00.000
And<00:09:58.279><c> we</c><00:09:58.440><c> need</c><00:09:58.759><c> that</c><00:09:59.080><c> resilience,</c><00:09:59.679><c> don't</c><00:09:59.879><c> we?</c>

00:10:00.019 --> 00:10:05.000
That<00:10:00.299><c> courage</c><00:10:00.840><c> of</c><00:10:01.220><c> Moses</c><00:10:01.679><c> to</c><00:10:02.080><c> persevere,</c><00:10:03.340><c> not</c><00:10:03.759><c> to</c><00:10:04.200><c> just</c><00:10:04.580><c> leave</c>

00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.100
our<00:10:05.360><c> light</c><00:10:05.919><c> under</c><00:10:07.000><c> a</c><00:10:07.179><c> bushel,</c><00:10:08.720><c> let</c><00:10:08.940><c> it</c>

00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:12.080
go<00:10:09.320><c> out,</c><00:10:10.059><c> but</c><00:10:10.259><c> to</c><00:10:10.639><c> continue</c><00:10:10.940><c> to</c><00:10:11.279><c> shine.</c>

00:10:12.539 --> 00:10:15.539
And<00:10:12.799><c> sometimes</c><00:10:13.220><c> the</c><00:10:13.480><c> opposition</c><00:10:13.899><c> can</c><00:10:14.320><c> be</c><00:10:14.519><c> a</c><00:10:14.620><c> little</c><00:10:15.139><c> hard,</c>

00:10:15.679 --> 00:10:16.879
can't<00:10:15.940><c> it?</c>

00:10:17.000 --> 00:10:22.200
It's<00:10:17.299><c> not</c><00:10:17.460><c> always</c><00:10:17.820><c> welcomed,</c><00:10:19.340><c> shining</c><00:10:19.600><c> the</c><00:10:19.879><c> light,</c><00:10:20.820><c> is</c><00:10:20.940><c> it?</c>

00:10:22.460 --> 00:10:24.259
But<00:10:22.860><c> that's</c><00:10:23.179><c> a</c><00:10:23.299><c> logical</c><00:10:23.659><c> thing.</c>

00:10:24.620 --> 00:10:26.500
Jesus<00:10:24.980><c> told</c><00:10:25.340><c> us</c><00:10:25.779><c> to</c><00:10:26.000><c> expect</c><00:10:26.379><c> that.</c>

00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:29.059
He<00:10:26.679><c> said</c><00:10:26.980><c> people</c><00:10:27.279><c> are</c><00:10:27.440><c> not</c><00:10:27.580><c> going</c><00:10:27.740><c> to</c><00:10:27.899><c> like</c><00:10:28.120><c> it.</c>

00:10:29.220 --> 00:10:32.460
He<00:10:29.399><c> actually</c><00:10:29.740><c> said,</c><00:10:30.279><c> men</c><00:10:30.799><c> love</c><00:10:31.240><c> darkness.</c>

00:10:33.860 --> 00:10:35.399
Why<00:10:34.200><c> is</c><00:10:34.480><c> that?</c>

00:10:36.139 --> 00:10:42.299
Why<00:10:36.340><c> is</c><00:10:36.639><c> it</c><00:10:37.179><c> that</c><00:10:38.000><c> most</c><00:10:38.360><c> crime</c><00:10:38.799><c> is</c><00:10:39.159><c> committed</c><00:10:39.960><c> under</c><00:10:40.779><c> cover</c><00:10:40.960><c> of</c><00:10:41.200><c> darkness?</c>

00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.139
It's<00:10:44.279><c> because</c><00:10:44.860><c> nobody</c><00:10:45.340><c> likes</c><00:10:45.860><c> to</c><00:10:46.259><c> feel</c><00:10:46.720><c> exposed.</c>

00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:51.120
Nobody<00:10:48.840><c> likes</c><00:10:49.379><c> to</c><00:10:49.820><c> feel</c><00:10:50.460><c> guilty.</c>

00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:55.500
Nobody<00:10:51.679><c> likes</c><00:10:52.159><c> to</c><00:10:52.419><c> have</c><00:10:52.539><c> someone</c><00:10:53.100><c> shine</c><00:10:53.779><c> a</c><00:10:54.019><c> light</c><00:10:54.360><c> on</c><00:10:55.220><c> their</c>

00:10:55.500 --> 00:10:56.919
evil<00:10:55.940><c> deed.</c>

00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:02.519
And<00:10:57.720><c> also,</c><00:10:58.360><c> if</c><00:10:58.919><c> everything</c><00:10:59.419><c> was</c><00:10:59.879><c> just</c><00:11:00.820><c> pitch</c><00:11:01.200><c> black,</c><00:11:02.340><c> there</c>

00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:04.500
would<00:11:02.759><c> be</c><00:11:03.000><c> no</c><00:11:03.460><c> relativity.</c>

00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:07.440
Light<00:11:05.340><c> is</c><00:11:05.559><c> what</c><00:11:05.759><c> gives</c><00:11:06.100><c> the</c><00:11:06.480><c> relativity.</c>

00:11:08.500 --> 00:11:11.200
And<00:11:08.820><c> that's</c><00:11:09.100><c> the</c><00:11:09.279><c> imagery</c><00:11:09.519><c> that</c><00:11:09.879><c> Jesus</c><00:11:10.379><c> gave,</c><00:11:10.879><c> wasn't</c><00:11:11.080><c> it?</c>

00:11:11.320 --> 00:11:15.500
He<00:11:12.039><c> used</c><00:11:12.480><c> all</c><00:11:12.700><c> that</c><00:11:12.860><c> imagery</c><00:11:13.299><c> when</c><00:11:14.120><c> he</c><00:11:14.399><c> spoke</c><00:11:14.700><c> to</c><00:11:14.879><c> the</c><00:11:15.100><c> disciples.</c>

00:11:15.500 --> 00:11:19.379
Because<00:11:15.600><c> he</c><00:11:15.840><c> said,</c><00:11:17.299><c> if</c><00:11:17.299><c> you</c><00:11:17.559><c> were</c><00:11:17.720><c> of</c><00:11:17.879><c> the</c><00:11:18.159><c> world,</c><00:11:18.879><c> the</c><00:11:19.000><c> world</c>

00:11:19.379 --> 00:11:21.220

00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:25.919

00:11:29.820 --> 00:11:35.679
If<00:11:30.039><c> I</c><00:11:30.379><c> had</c><00:11:30.600><c> not</c><00:11:30.759><c> come</c><00:11:31.000><c> and</c><00:11:31.299><c> spoken</c><00:11:31.700><c> unto</c><00:11:32.000><c> them,</c><00:11:32.860><c> they</c><00:11:33.159><c> had</c><00:11:33.460><c> not</c><00:11:33.779><c> sinned.</c>

There's<00:11:44.519><c> the</c><00:11:44.779><c> relativity,</c><00:11:45.360><c> he's</c><00:11:45.799><c> saying.</c>

00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.220
But<00:11:46.919><c> now</c><00:11:47.299><c> they</c><00:11:47.539><c> have</c><00:11:47.799><c> no</c><00:11:48.340><c> cloak</c><00:11:48.679><c> for</c><00:11:49.179><c> their</c><00:11:49.419><c> sin.</c>

00:11:50.279 --> 00:11:51.320
It's<00:11:50.779><c> exposed.</c>

00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:52.779
It's<00:11:51.679><c> not</c><00:11:51.919><c> covered.</c>

00:11:53.240 --> 00:11:56.200
If<00:11:53.379><c> I</c><00:11:53.580><c> had</c><00:11:53.759><c> not</c><00:11:53.919><c> done</c><00:11:54.100><c> among</c><00:11:54.399><c> them</c><00:11:54.559><c> the</c><00:11:54.759><c> works</c><00:11:55.019><c> which</c><00:11:55.539><c> none</c><00:11:55.720><c> other</c><00:11:55.960><c> man</c>

00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:59.659
did,<00:11:57.000><c> they</c><00:11:57.340><c> had</c><00:11:57.720><c> not</c><00:11:58.139><c> sinned.</c>

00:11:59.740 --> 00:12:03.539
But<00:11:59.940><c> now</c><00:12:00.220><c> they</c><00:12:00.340><c> have</c><00:12:00.519><c> both</c><00:12:00.860><c> seen</c><00:12:01.100><c> and</c><00:12:01.379><c> hated</c><00:12:01.639><c> me</c><00:12:02.259><c> and</c><00:12:02.940><c> my</c><00:12:03.259><c> father.</c>

00:12:03.659 --> 00:12:06.639
So<00:12:03.860><c> the</c><00:12:04.039><c> point</c><00:12:04.200><c> is,</c><00:12:04.419><c> people</c><00:12:04.620><c> don't</c><00:12:04.860><c> want</c><00:12:05.139><c> to</c><00:12:05.460><c> feel</c><00:12:06.100><c> guilty.</c>

00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:09.279
People<00:12:06.980><c> don't</c><00:12:07.159><c> want</c><00:12:07.340><c> to</c><00:12:07.620><c> feel</c><00:12:08.340><c> exposed.</c>

00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:15.100
And<00:12:09.879><c> sometimes</c><00:12:10.580><c> when</c><00:12:10.820><c> we</c><00:12:11.139><c> talk</c><00:12:11.340><c> about</c><00:12:11.659><c> the</c><00:12:11.980><c> moral</c><00:12:12.759><c> principles,</c><00:12:13.720><c> the</c><00:12:14.000><c> ethical</c><00:12:14.419><c> values</c>

00:12:15.100 --> 00:12:18.360
of<00:12:16.279><c> God,</c><00:12:16.940><c> of</c><00:12:17.200><c> the</c><00:12:17.419><c> Bible,</c>

00:12:18.899 --> 00:12:23.240
it<00:12:19.120><c> can</c><00:12:19.320><c> make</c><00:12:19.659><c> people</c><00:12:20.059><c> feel</c><00:12:20.399><c> bad</c><00:12:20.899><c> and</c><00:12:21.120><c> they</c><00:12:21.340><c> don't</c><00:12:21.600><c> like</c><00:12:21.919><c> it.</c>

00:12:23.500 --> 00:12:26.860
They<00:12:23.639><c> would</c><00:12:23.919><c> rather</c><00:12:24.379><c> things</c><00:12:25.220><c> stay</c><00:12:25.919><c> as</c><00:12:26.620><c> they</c><00:12:26.779><c> were.</c>

00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:27.980
Think<00:12:27.120><c> of</c><00:12:27.279><c> John</c><00:12:27.460><c> the</c><00:12:27.639><c> Baptist.</c>

00:12:28.100 --> 00:12:31.700
That's<00:12:28.460><c> probably</c><00:12:28.740><c> one</c><00:12:28.980><c> of</c><00:12:29.059><c> the</c><00:12:29.340><c> starkest</c><00:12:30.659><c> examples,</c><00:12:31.279><c> isn't</c><00:12:31.460><c> it?</c>

00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:33.220
What<00:12:32.159><c> courage.</c>

00:12:33.820 --> 00:12:37.320
He<00:12:34.059><c> just</c><00:12:34.279><c> says,</c><00:12:35.019><c> Herod,</c><00:12:36.059><c> it's</c><00:12:36.279><c> not</c><00:12:36.460><c> right.</c>

00:12:37.580 --> 00:12:38.980
It's<00:12:37.960><c> not</c><00:12:38.100><c> right.</c>

00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:43.860
What<00:12:40.100><c> reaction</c><00:12:40.620><c> did</c><00:12:40.980><c> John</c><00:12:41.200><c> the</c><00:12:41.340><c> Baptist</c><00:12:41.700><c> get</c><00:12:42.200><c> in</c><00:12:43.059><c> that</c><00:12:43.379><c> case</c>

00:12:43.860 --> 00:12:45.580
from<00:12:44.639><c> Herodias?</c>

00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:48.679
You<00:12:45.860><c> know,</c><00:12:46.240><c> is</c><00:12:46.340><c> it,</c><00:12:47.460><c> oh</c><00:12:47.580><c> yeah,</c><00:12:47.799><c> whatever?</c>

00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:53.700
No,<00:12:50.440><c> sadly,</c><00:12:51.840><c> he</c><00:12:51.940><c> lost</c><00:12:52.220><c> his</c><00:12:52.559><c> head.</c>

00:12:54.919 --> 00:12:58.960
Because<00:12:55.279><c> people</c><00:12:55.519><c> don't</c><00:12:55.980><c> like</c><00:12:56.799><c> ever</c><00:12:57.519><c> to</c><00:12:58.039><c> feel</c><00:12:58.419><c> what</c><00:12:58.700><c> they're</c>

00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.159
doing<00:12:59.379><c> is</c><00:13:00.259><c> wrong.</c>

00:13:02.179 --> 00:13:06.360
Do<00:13:02.820><c> we</c><00:13:03.039><c> have</c><00:13:03.200><c> the</c><00:13:03.460><c> courage</c><00:13:03.940><c> to</c><00:13:04.399><c> say</c><00:13:04.539><c> what</c><00:13:04.779><c> we</c><00:13:05.059><c> believe</c><00:13:05.559><c> against</c>

00:13:06.360 --> 00:13:07.659
that<00:13:06.720><c> backdrop?</c>

00:13:09.259 --> 00:13:14.440
Moses,<00:13:09.259><c> to</c><00:13:09.600><c> the</c><00:13:09.639><c> most</c><00:13:10.000><c> powerful</c><00:13:10.600><c> man</c><00:13:11.059><c> in</c><00:13:11.279><c> the</c><00:13:11.440><c> world,</c><00:13:11.940><c> thus</c><00:13:12.159><c> saith</c><00:13:12.500><c> the</c><00:13:12.720><c> Lord,</c><00:13:14.019><c> let</c><00:13:14.139><c> my</c>

00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:15.740
people<00:13:14.720><c> go.</c>

00:13:15.860 --> 00:13:17.500
Who<00:13:16.340><c> is</c><00:13:16.580><c> the</c><00:13:16.740><c> Lord?</c>

00:13:17.820 --> 00:13:24.200
But<00:13:17.960><c> he</c><00:13:18.120><c> kept</c><00:13:18.360><c> at</c><00:13:18.580><c> it</c><00:13:19.200><c> right</c><00:13:19.600><c> through</c><00:13:19.820><c> that</c><00:13:20.059><c> period</c><00:13:20.519><c> until</c><00:13:21.120><c> finally</c><00:13:21.679><c> they</c><00:13:22.679><c> were</c><00:13:22.980><c> let</c><00:13:23.240><c> go.</c>

00:13:24.460 --> 00:13:32.899
Hebrews<00:13:24.840><c> 11</c><00:13:25.820><c> verse</c><00:13:27.240><c> 27</c><00:13:27.919><c> says,</c><00:13:28.740><c> By</c><00:13:28.740><c> faith</c><00:13:29.539><c> Moses</c><00:13:30.320><c> forsook</c><00:13:31.159><c> Egypt,</c><00:13:32.500><c> not</c>

00:13:32.899 --> 00:13:34.820
fearing<00:13:33.279><c> the</c><00:13:33.480><c> wrath</c><00:13:33.659><c> of</c><00:13:33.879><c> the</c><00:13:34.019><c> king,</c>

00:13:35.220 --> 00:13:40.399
for<00:13:35.440><c> he</c><00:13:35.740><c> endured</c><00:13:36.320><c> as</c><00:13:37.259><c> seeing</c><00:13:37.580><c> him</c><00:13:38.279><c> who</c><00:13:38.840><c> is</c><00:13:39.299><c> invisible.</c>

00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:45.879
Now,<00:13:41.580><c> as</c><00:13:41.960><c> I</c><00:13:42.200><c> said,</c><00:13:43.419><c> that's</c><00:13:43.799><c> not</c><00:13:44.159><c> when</c><00:13:44.299><c> he</c><00:13:44.500><c> fled</c><00:13:44.700><c> to</c><00:13:44.980><c> Midian</c><00:13:45.220><c> because</c><00:13:45.580><c> it</c>

00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:49.399
says<00:13:46.039><c> quite</c><00:13:46.379><c> clearly</c><00:13:46.799><c> that</c><00:13:47.200><c> he</c><00:13:47.659><c> feared</c><00:13:48.039><c> for</c><00:13:48.580><c> his</c><00:13:48.860><c> life</c><00:13:49.179><c> at</c>

00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:49.940
that<00:13:49.600><c> time.</c>

00:13:49.940 --> 00:13:54.879
I<00:13:50.940><c> personally</c><00:13:51.419><c> believe</c><00:13:51.779><c> that's</c><00:13:52.159><c> referring</c><00:13:52.559><c> to</c><00:13:52.879><c> when</c><00:13:53.120><c> he</c><00:13:53.440><c> forsook</c><00:13:54.480><c> the</c>

royal<00:13:55.220><c> palace</c><00:13:55.580><c> and</c><00:13:55.799><c> went</c><00:13:56.000><c> out</c><00:13:56.220><c> to</c><00:13:56.360><c> his</c><00:13:56.539><c> brethren.</c>

00:13:58.059 --> 00:14:01.919
Alternatively,<00:13:58.759><c> it's</c><00:13:58.960><c> also</c><00:13:59.279><c> referring</c><00:13:59.740><c> to</c><00:14:00.379><c> here</c><00:14:00.940><c> at</c><00:14:01.360><c> the</c><00:14:01.679><c> end</c>

00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:06.919
of<00:14:02.139><c> the</c><00:14:02.279><c> Ten</c><00:14:02.519><c> Plagues</c><00:14:03.320><c> when</c><00:14:03.899><c> he</c><00:14:04.179><c> says,</c><00:14:05.919><c> we're</c><00:14:06.100><c> out.</c>

00:14:07.980 --> 00:14:09.179
We're<00:14:08.419><c> going.</c>

00:14:09.460 --> 00:14:11.600
We're<00:14:09.899><c> going</c><00:14:10.159><c> into</c><00:14:10.419><c> that</c><00:14:10.659><c> wilderness.</c>

00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:14.500
I'm<00:14:12.279><c> going</c><00:14:12.399><c> to</c><00:14:12.620><c> take</c><00:14:12.860><c> the</c><00:14:13.059><c> hand</c><00:14:13.220><c> of</c><00:14:13.399><c> that</c><00:14:13.620><c> angel.</c>

00:14:14.710 --> 00:14:18.340
He<00:14:15.059><c> said,</c><00:14:16.059><c> certainly</c><00:14:16.120><c> I</c><00:14:16.340><c> am</c><00:14:16.460><c> with</c><00:14:16.720><c> you,</c><00:14:17.620><c> and</c><00:14:17.860><c> I'm</c><00:14:18.019><c> going</c><00:14:18.120><c> to</c>

00:14:18.340 --> 00:14:21.080
take<00:14:18.500><c> that</c><00:14:18.820><c> hand</c><00:14:19.299><c> and</c><00:14:20.039><c> resolutely.</c>

00:14:21.259 --> 00:14:27.600
We<00:14:21.259><c> are</c><00:14:21.620><c> going</c><00:14:22.100><c> out</c><00:14:22.759><c> into</c><00:14:23.220><c> the</c><00:14:23.419><c> wilderness</c><00:14:23.820><c> in</c><00:14:25.019><c> faith,</c><00:14:25.620><c> believing</c><00:14:26.419><c> that</c>

00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:30.240
God<00:14:27.919><c> and</c><00:14:28.080><c> the</c><00:14:28.259><c> angel</c><00:14:28.559><c> would</c><00:14:28.799><c> be</c><00:14:29.100><c> with</c><00:14:29.399><c> them.</c>

00:14:30.659 --> 00:14:33.820
Despite<00:14:31.360><c> what</c><00:14:31.759><c> opposition</c><00:14:32.320><c> might</c><00:14:32.879><c> come,</c><00:14:33.080><c> which</c><00:14:33.279><c> we</c><00:14:33.440><c> know</c><00:14:33.620><c> did</c>

00:14:33.820 --> 00:14:38.899
come<00:14:34.340><c> a</c><00:14:35.960><c> lot</c><00:14:36.139><c> of</c><00:14:36.320><c> opposition</c><00:14:36.820><c> reminds</c><00:14:37.539><c> me</c><00:14:37.879><c> of</c><00:14:38.460><c> Jesus.</c>

00:14:38.899 --> 00:14:45.720

00:21:30.259 --> 00:21:32.539

00:21:32.640 --> 00:21:37.519
He<00:21:32.880><c> became</c><00:21:33.279><c> great,</c><00:21:33.880><c> because</c><00:21:34.019><c> he</c><00:21:34.259><c> had</c><00:21:34.539><c> to</c><00:21:34.920><c> rely</c><00:21:35.400><c> on</c><00:21:36.599><c> God.</c>

You'll<00:22:34.440><c> be</c><00:22:34.640><c> brought</c><00:22:34.799><c> before</c><00:22:35.200><c> governors</c><00:22:35.559><c> and</c><00:22:35.859><c> kings.</c>

00:22:36.960 --> 00:22:41.160
You'll<00:22:37.220><c> even</c><00:22:37.440><c> be</c><00:22:37.720><c> hated</c><00:22:38.180><c> of</c><00:22:39.279><c> all</c><00:22:39.500><c> men</c><00:22:39.700><c> for</c><00:22:39.920><c> my</c><00:22:40.240><c> sake.</c>

00:23:24.259 --> 00:23:27.380
We've<00:23:24.420><c> not</c><00:23:25.180><c> lost</c><00:23:25.640><c> our</c><00:23:25.960><c> life</c><00:23:26.279><c> for</c><00:23:26.500><c> what</c><00:23:26.720><c> we</c><00:23:26.980><c> believe</c><00:23:27.180><c> in.</c>

Through<00:23:54.880><c> much</c><00:23:55.160><c> tribulation</c><00:23:55.900><c> we'll</c><00:23:56.240><c> enter</c><00:23:56.460><c> the</c><00:23:56.680><c> kingdom</c><00:23:56.880><c> of</c><00:23:57.099><c> God.</c>

00:23:57.259 --> 00:23:59.440
But<00:23:57.359><c> we've</c><00:23:57.559><c> got</c><00:23:57.640><c> to</c><00:23:57.859><c> believe</c><00:23:58.180><c> that,</c>

00:23:59.500 --> 00:24:01.539

We<00:24:01.819><c> will</c><00:24:02.140><c> capitulate,</c><00:24:02.779><c> we'll</c><00:24:03.059><c> cave.</c>

00:24:04.900 --> 00:24:06.900
How<00:24:05.240><c> deep</c><00:24:05.539><c> is</c><00:24:05.779><c> our</c><00:24:06.000><c> faith?</c>

00:24:07.819 --> 00:24:13.299
I<00:24:08.539><c> think</c><00:24:08.720><c> it's</c><00:24:08.880><c> in</c><00:24:09.119><c> Corinthians</c><00:24:09.700><c> where</c><00:24:12.259><c> it</c><00:24:12.500><c> says,</c>

00:24:20.160 --> 00:24:22.759
I'm<00:24:20.440><c> sure</c><00:24:20.680><c> it</c><00:24:21.480><c> means</c><00:24:22.000><c> men</c><00:24:22.299><c> and</c><00:24:22.599><c> women.</c>

00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.059
There's<00:24:23.079><c> a</c><00:24:23.180><c> lot</c><00:24:23.259><c> of</c><00:24:23.400><c> very</c><00:24:23.700><c> strong</c><00:24:24.319><c> women</c><00:24:24.819><c> as</c><00:24:25.099><c> well.</c>

00:24:26.480 --> 00:24:30.519
Quit<00:24:26.660><c> yourself</c><00:24:27.519><c> like</c><00:24:28.140><c> a</c><00:24:28.660><c> man.</c><00:24:28.940><c> Be</c><00:24:29.380><c> strong.</c>

00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:35.700
And<00:24:32.119><c> actually</c><00:24:32.480><c> the</c><00:24:32.700><c> word</c><00:24:33.019><c> stand</c><00:24:33.680><c> is</c><00:24:34.059><c> often</c><00:24:34.519><c> used</c>

00:24:35.700 --> 00:24:40.980
to<00:24:36.880><c> refer</c><00:24:37.279><c> to</c><00:24:37.519><c> that</c><00:24:37.960><c> strength</c><00:24:38.500><c> of</c><00:24:38.920><c> courage</c><00:24:39.480><c> under</c><00:24:40.000><c> pressure.</c>

00:24:41.500 --> 00:24:43.839
That's<00:24:41.700><c> why</c><00:24:41.859><c> Moses</c><00:24:42.240><c> said,</c><00:24:43.299><c> stand</c><00:24:43.299><c> still.</c>

00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:48.640
Don't<00:24:44.480><c> run</c><00:24:44.819><c> around</c><00:24:45.660><c> creating</c><00:24:46.519><c> more</c><00:24:46.940><c> drama</c><00:24:47.339><c> for</c><00:24:47.640><c> everyone.</c>

00:24:49.359 --> 00:24:50.700
Stand<00:24:49.680><c> still.</c>

00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:55.140
Listen<00:24:50.960><c> to</c><00:24:51.539><c> Ephesians,</c><00:24:52.079><c> how</c><00:24:52.319><c> many</c><00:24:52.579><c> times</c><00:24:53.000><c> we</c><00:24:53.359><c> see</c><00:24:53.680><c> stand.</c>

00:24:55.160 --> 00:24:56.640
Just<00:24:55.599><c> stand.</c>

00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:01.779
I'm<00:24:57.779><c> going</c><00:24:57.839><c> to</c><00:24:57.940><c> read</c><00:24:58.180><c> to</c><00:24:58.480><c> you</c><00:24:59.559><c> the</c><00:24:59.960><c> words</c><00:25:00.140><c> of</c><00:25:00.339><c> Ephesians</c><00:25:00.819><c> 6</c><00:25:01.180><c> verse</c><00:25:01.480><c> 10.</c>

00:25:01.779 --> 00:25:05.599
My<00:25:02.160><c> brethren,</c><00:25:02.720><c> be</c><00:25:03.019><c> strong</c><00:25:03.319><c> in</c><00:25:03.480><c> the</c><00:25:03.640><c> Lord</c><00:25:04.039><c> and</c><00:25:04.900><c> in</c><00:25:05.079><c> the</c><00:25:05.339><c> power</c>

00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:07.039
of<00:25:05.779><c> His</c><00:25:06.039><c> might.</c>

00:25:07.299 --> 00:25:10.480
Put<00:25:07.480><c> on</c><00:25:07.700><c> the</c><00:25:07.920><c> whole</c><00:25:08.200><c> armour</c><00:25:08.400><c> of</c><00:25:08.619><c> God</c><00:25:08.839><c> that</c><00:25:09.059><c> had</c><00:25:09.299><c> no</c><00:25:09.579><c> armour,</c>

00:25:11.740 --> 00:25:14.380
that<00:25:11.940><c> you</c><00:25:12.180><c> may</c><00:25:12.359><c> be</c><00:25:12.579><c> able</c><00:25:12.759><c> to</c><00:25:13.240><c> stand.</c>

00:25:15.099 --> 00:25:18.900
And<00:25:15.279><c> then</c><00:25:15.480><c> moving</c><00:25:15.720><c> along</c><00:25:16.059><c> that</c><00:25:16.319><c> you</c><00:25:16.640><c> may</c><00:25:16.819><c> be</c><00:25:17.099><c> able</c><00:25:17.279><c> to</c><00:25:17.579><c> withstand</c><00:25:18.180><c> in</c><00:25:18.680><c> the</c>

00:25:18.900 --> 00:25:19.559
evil<00:25:19.119><c> day,</c>

00:25:19.859 --> 00:25:22.779
and<00:25:20.220><c> having</c><00:25:20.500><c> done</c><00:25:20.759><c> all</c><00:25:21.079><c> to</c><00:25:21.579><c> stand.</c>

00:25:23.380 --> 00:25:27.079
Stand<00:25:23.940><c> therefore,</c><00:25:24.599><c> praying</c><00:25:24.960><c> always,</c><00:25:25.660><c> four</c><00:25:25.960><c> times.</c>

00:25:27.700 --> 00:25:31.259
Brethren<00:25:28.480><c> and</c><00:25:28.799><c> sisters,</c><00:25:29.440><c> we</c><00:25:29.619><c> won't</c><00:25:30.240><c> win.</c>

00:25:33.059 --> 00:25:34.599
It's<00:25:33.220><c> not</c><00:25:33.420><c> a</c><00:25:33.619><c> race.</c>

00:25:34.779 --> 00:25:39.279
We<00:25:34.920><c> won't</c><00:25:35.900><c> run</c><00:25:36.279><c> into</c><00:25:36.579><c> the</c><00:25:36.779><c> kingdom</c><00:25:37.079><c> feeling</c><00:25:37.460><c> like</c><00:25:37.819><c> we've</c><00:25:38.319><c> won.</c>

00:25:41.299 --> 00:25:45.380
It's<00:25:41.700><c> all</c><00:25:41.980><c> just,</c><00:25:43.200><c> will</c><00:25:43.420><c> we</c><00:25:43.779><c> still</c><00:25:44.039><c> be</c><00:25:44.480><c> standing?</c>

00:25:46.660 --> 00:25:49.039
Will<00:25:46.839><c> we</c><00:25:47.059><c> be</c><00:25:47.480><c> standing</c><00:25:47.880><c> in</c><00:25:48.359><c> the</c><00:25:48.599><c> trenches,</c>

00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:53.779
or<00:25:49.640><c> will</c><00:25:49.779><c> we</c><00:25:50.259><c> have</c><00:25:50.259><c> deserted</c><00:25:51.319><c> and</c><00:25:52.319><c> run</c><00:25:52.539><c> back</c><00:25:52.839><c> to</c><00:25:53.039><c> Egypt?</c>

00:25:54.480 --> 00:25:56.099
Remember<00:25:55.200><c> the</c><00:25:55.380><c> words</c><00:25:55.599><c> of</c><00:25:55.779><c> Jesus,</c>

00:25:56.500 --> 00:26:03.160
no<00:25:56.559><c> man</c><00:25:57.160><c> who's</c><00:25:57.700><c> put</c><00:25:58.119><c> his</c><00:25:58.559><c> hand</c><00:25:58.900><c> to</c><00:25:59.059><c> the</c><00:25:59.259><c> plough</c><00:25:59.980><c> and</c><00:26:00.500><c> turns</c><00:26:00.940><c> back</c><00:26:01.740><c> is</c>

00:26:03.160 --> 00:26:03.819
fit<00:26:03.279><c> for</c><00:26:03.500><c> the</c><00:26:03.640><c> kingdom.</c>

00:26:04.019 --> 00:26:06.640
It's<00:26:04.200><c> not</c><00:26:04.480><c> perhaps</c><00:26:04.880><c> sometimes</c><00:26:05.380><c> in</c><00:26:05.599><c> our</c><00:26:05.779><c> lives,</c><00:26:06.099><c> brethren</c><00:26:06.259><c> and</c><00:26:06.500><c> sisters,</c>

00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:08.220
about<00:26:07.019><c> even</c><00:26:07.359><c> moving</c><00:26:07.740><c> forward.</c>

00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:10.019
Life's<00:26:09.059><c> tough.</c>

00:26:10.339 --> 00:26:12.019
It's<00:26:11.059><c> hard.</c>

00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:17.279
Sometimes<00:26:12.759><c> we're</c><00:26:13.119><c> not</c><00:26:13.640><c> moving</c><00:26:14.039><c> forward,</c><00:26:14.599><c> but</c><00:26:14.779><c> are</c><00:26:15.220><c> we</c><00:26:15.920><c> standing?</c>

00:26:18.779 --> 00:26:19.940
Still<00:26:19.420><c> standing.</c>

00:26:19.940 --> 00:26:23.700
Will<00:26:20.339><c> we</c><00:26:20.559><c> be</c><00:26:21.000><c> still</c><00:26:21.440><c> standing</c><00:26:21.900><c> when</c><00:26:22.160><c> our</c><00:26:22.400><c> Lord</c><00:26:22.660><c> returns?</c>

00:26:23.779 --> 00:26:25.519
That's<00:26:24.319><c> the</c><00:26:24.500><c> challenge.</c>

00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:33.099
Let's<00:26:27.440><c> lock</c><00:26:27.700><c> arms,</c><00:26:28.119><c> as</c><00:26:28.299><c> it</c><00:26:28.500><c> were,</c><00:26:29.279><c> in</c><00:26:29.579><c> the</c><00:26:29.839><c> trenches</c><00:26:30.259><c> and</c><00:26:31.599><c> stay</c><00:26:32.039><c> standing.</c>

00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:37.480
They<00:26:34.680><c> said,</c><00:26:35.420><c> we</c><00:26:35.880><c> should</c><00:26:36.160><c> be</c><00:26:36.680><c> back</c><00:26:36.980><c> in</c><00:26:37.240><c> Egypt.</c>

00:26:37.619 --> 00:26:40.599
It<00:26:37.740><c> would</c><00:26:37.819><c> have</c><00:26:37.920><c> been</c><00:26:38.019><c> so</c><00:26:38.299><c> much</c><00:26:38.500><c> better</c><00:26:38.740><c> back</c><00:26:39.000><c> there,</c><00:26:39.900><c> turning</c><00:26:40.140><c> back.</c>

00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:43.960
Moses<00:26:41.380><c> said,</c><00:26:42.359><c> let's</c><00:26:42.859><c> stand</c><00:26:43.039><c> still.</c>

00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:45.700
Our<00:26:44.359><c> God</c><00:26:44.559><c> will</c><00:26:44.759><c> deliver</c><00:26:45.019><c> us.</c>

00:26:45.700 --> 00:26:50.000
And<00:26:46.140><c> he</c><00:26:46.339><c> did,</c><00:26:47.859><c> remarkably,</c><00:26:48.380><c> and</c><00:26:48.519><c> we</c><00:26:48.660><c> know</c><00:26:48.859><c> that</c><00:26:49.119><c> story.</c>

00:26:51.119 --> 00:26:54.660
But<00:26:51.259><c> look</c><00:26:51.880><c> at</c><00:26:52.559><c> the</c><00:26:52.779><c> next</c><00:26:53.119><c> pressure</c><00:26:53.480><c> on</c><00:26:53.819><c> Moses.</c>

00:26:54.859 --> 00:26:57.759
Amazing<00:26:55.220><c> deliverance</c><00:26:56.160><c> through</c><00:26:56.559><c> the</c><00:26:56.720><c> Red</c><00:26:57.019><c> Sea.</c>

00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:01.539
Come<00:26:58.359><c> across</c><00:26:58.740><c> to</c><00:26:59.160><c> chapter</c><00:26:59.500><c> 15,</c><00:27:00.180><c> verse</c><00:27:00.359><c> 22.</c>

00:27:02.660 --> 00:27:06.819
Just<00:27:02.980><c> around</c><00:27:03.319><c> the</c><00:27:03.539><c> corner,</c><00:27:04.839><c> bang,</c><00:27:05.359><c> the</c><00:27:05.579><c> next</c><00:27:05.839><c> challenge.</c>

00:27:07.460 --> 00:27:08.700
Look<00:27:07.660><c> at</c><00:27:07.819><c> the</c><00:27:08.000><c> words</c><00:27:08.220><c> there.</c>

00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:13.859
So,<00:27:09.859><c> Moses</c><00:27:10.200><c> brought</c><00:27:10.740><c> them</c><00:27:11.039><c> through</c><00:27:11.299><c> the</c><00:27:11.579><c> trivial</c><00:27:11.900><c> event</c><00:27:12.240><c> of</c><00:27:12.440><c> just</c><00:27:12.740><c> walking</c><00:27:13.039><c> through</c><00:27:13.339><c> a</c><00:27:13.539><c> sea,</c>

00:27:13.859 --> 00:27:16.579
and<00:27:14.759><c> they</c><00:27:14.900><c> went</c><00:27:15.079><c> out</c><00:27:15.319><c> into</c><00:27:15.519><c> the</c><00:27:15.640><c> wilderness</c><00:27:15.980><c> of</c><00:27:16.319><c> Shur.</c>

00:27:16.680 --> 00:27:20.920
They<00:27:16.799><c> were</c><00:27:17.000><c> there</c><00:27:17.339><c> three</c><00:27:17.720><c> days,</c><00:27:18.319><c> found</c><00:27:18.660><c> no</c><00:27:18.940><c> water,</c><00:27:20.119><c> came</c><00:27:20.460><c> to</c><00:27:20.759><c> Marah.</c>

00:27:21.140 --> 00:27:23.539
They<00:27:21.359><c> couldn't</c><00:27:21.619><c> drink</c><00:27:21.839><c> the</c><00:27:22.019><c> water,</c><00:27:22.279><c> for</c><00:27:22.420><c> it's</c><00:27:22.680><c> bitter.</c>

00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:27.720
Therefore,<00:27:24.299><c> the</c><00:27:24.380><c> name</c><00:27:24.559><c> of</c><00:27:24.640><c> it</c><00:27:24.799><c> was</c><00:27:25.019><c> called</c><00:27:25.279><c> Marah,</c><00:27:25.839><c> and</c><00:27:25.960><c> they</c>

00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:30.740

Don't<00:34:42.340><c> murmur</c><00:34:42.760><c> against</c><00:34:43.059><c> me.</c>

00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:46.280
It's<00:34:44.440><c> never</c><00:34:44.719><c> been</c><00:34:45.039><c> about</c><00:34:45.300><c> me.</c>

00:34:50.219 --> 00:34:53.659
If<00:34:51.019><c> you</c><00:34:51.340><c> murmur</c><00:34:51.659><c> against</c><00:34:52.019><c> me,</c><00:34:52.380><c> I'm</c><00:34:52.679><c> simply</c><00:34:53.019><c> God's</c><00:34:53.460><c> instrument.</c>

00:35:05.659 --> 00:35:07.900
It's<00:35:05.880><c> pretty</c><00:35:06.079><c> easy</c><00:35:06.360><c> to</c><00:35:06.579><c> be</c><00:35:06.800><c> humble</c><00:35:07.119><c> when</c><00:35:07.380><c> someone</c><00:35:07.619><c> comes,</c>

00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:25.380
You're<00:35:24.360><c> murmuring</c><00:35:24.739><c> against</c><00:35:25.139><c> God.</c>

00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:02.599
Why<00:37:00.599><c> sittest</c><00:37:01.000><c> thou</c><00:37:01.219><c> thyself</c><00:37:01.920><c> alone,</c>

And<00:37:08.099><c> Moses</c><00:37:08.460><c> said</c><00:37:08.699><c> unto</c><00:37:08.920><c> his</c><00:37:09.139><c> father</c><00:37:09.480><c>-in</c><00:37:09.679><c>-law,</c>

00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:12.880
Well,<00:37:10.079><c> because</c><00:37:10.480><c> the</c><00:37:10.699><c> people</c><00:37:10.900><c> come</c><00:37:11.199><c> unto</c><00:37:11.400><c> me</c><00:37:11.619><c> to</c><00:37:11.820><c> inquire</c><00:37:12.260><c> of</c><00:37:12.400><c> God.</c>

00:37:13.360 --> 00:37:15.579

00:37:35.739 --> 00:37:38.780
He<00:37:36.380><c> is</c><00:37:37.000><c> a</c><00:37:37.420><c> remarkable</c><00:37:38.119><c> man,</c>

00:37:46.980 --> 00:37:48.639
But<00:37:47.139><c> he</c><00:37:47.179><c> wasn't</c><00:37:47.480><c> perfect.</c>

00:37:50.239 --> 00:37:53.059
One<00:37:50.460><c> of</c><00:37:50.539><c> the</c><00:37:50.719><c> little</c><00:37:50.960><c> propensities</c><00:37:51.619><c> that</c><00:37:52.639><c> he</c><00:37:52.800><c> had,</c>

00:37:53.059 --> 00:37:54.360
and<00:37:53.159><c> we've</c><00:37:53.340><c> already</c><00:37:53.659><c> seen</c><00:37:53.980><c> this,</c>

00:37:54.539 --> 00:37:59.820
was<00:37:54.659><c> a</c><00:37:54.739><c> bit</c><00:37:54.840><c> of</c><00:37:55.099><c> a</c><00:37:55.219><c> tendency</c><00:37:55.760><c> to</c><00:37:56.559><c> take</c><00:37:57.079><c> matters</c><00:37:57.539><c> into</c><00:37:58.079><c> his</c><00:37:58.420><c> own</c><00:37:58.800><c> hands.</c>

00:38:00.079 --> 00:38:02.119
We<00:38:00.320><c> saw</c><00:38:00.579><c> that</c><00:38:00.860><c> in</c><00:38:01.059><c> the</c><00:38:01.280><c> sands</c><00:38:01.519><c> of</c><00:38:01.760><c> Egypt.</c>

00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:05.320
We<00:38:02.800><c> saw</c><00:38:03.119><c> that</c><00:38:03.599><c> intervening</c><00:38:04.179><c> with</c><00:38:04.420><c> the</c><00:38:04.619><c> shepherds.</c>

00:38:05.480 --> 00:38:07.659
We<00:38:05.699><c> will</c><00:38:05.880><c> see</c><00:38:06.019><c> that</c><00:38:06.420><c> on</c><00:38:06.639><c> a</c><00:38:06.780><c> number</c><00:38:07.059><c> of</c><00:38:07.320><c> occasions,</c>

00:38:07.699 --> 00:38:11.099
and<00:38:08.059><c> here</c><00:38:08.400><c> we</c><00:38:08.659><c> see</c><00:38:08.880><c> it,</c><00:38:09.739><c> quite</c><00:38:10.079><c> stark.</c>

00:38:11.579 --> 00:38:16.940
One<00:38:11.800><c> of</c><00:38:11.900><c> his</c><00:38:12.179><c> challenges</c><00:38:12.900><c> was</c><00:38:13.659><c> a</c><00:38:14.000><c> failure</c><00:38:14.440><c> to</c><00:38:14.960><c> genuinely</c><00:38:15.599><c> empower</c>

and<00:38:17.539><c> trust</c><00:38:18.380><c> others,</c>

00:38:19.940 --> 00:38:24.820
and<00:38:20.360><c> to</c><00:38:20.719><c> then</c><00:38:21.380><c> delegate</c><00:38:22.079><c> genuinely</c><00:38:22.920><c> to</c><00:38:23.760><c> them.</c>

00:38:25.739 --> 00:38:30.039
He<00:38:26.420><c> was</c><00:38:26.619><c> a</c><00:38:26.760><c> man</c><00:38:27.099><c> who</c><00:38:27.440><c> sought</c><00:38:27.739><c> to</c><00:38:28.039><c> control</c><00:38:28.619><c> outcomes</c><00:38:29.340><c> by</c><00:38:29.679><c> his</c>

00:38:32.619 --> 00:38:36.179
and<00:38:32.619><c> it</c><00:38:32.920><c> manifests</c><00:38:33.300><c> itself</c><00:38:33.900><c> here</c><00:38:34.659><c> quite</c><00:38:35.400><c> profoundly</c>

00:38:36.179 --> 00:38:39.820
in<00:38:37.139><c> what</c><00:38:37.519><c> Jethro</c><00:38:38.380><c> observes.</c>

00:38:40.260 --> 00:38:43.599
Jethro's<00:38:40.820><c> verdict,</c><00:38:41.199><c> look</c><00:38:41.460><c> at</c><00:38:41.559><c> it</c><00:38:41.699><c> again</c><00:38:41.920><c> in</c><00:38:42.139><c> verse</c><00:38:42.340><c> 17.</c>

00:38:43.780 --> 00:38:47.320
The<00:38:43.780><c> thing</c><00:38:44.260><c> that</c><00:38:44.500><c> thou</c><00:38:44.760><c> doest</c><00:38:45.280><c> is</c><00:38:45.679><c> not</c><00:38:46.199><c> good.</c>

00:38:47.699 --> 00:38:50.679
Thou<00:38:47.900><c> wilt</c><00:38:48.300><c> surely</c><00:38:48.900><c> wear</c><00:38:49.199><c> away,</c><00:38:49.940><c> and</c><00:38:50.219><c> look</c><00:38:50.360><c> at</c><00:38:50.480><c> this,</c>

00:38:53.739 --> 00:38:56.639
for<00:38:54.219><c> this</c><00:38:54.500><c> thing</c><00:38:54.599><c> is</c><00:38:54.860><c> too</c><00:38:55.219><c> heavy</c><00:38:55.559><c> for</c><00:38:55.840><c> thee.</c>

00:38:56.739 --> 00:39:01.340
Thou<00:38:56.920><c> art</c><00:38:57.179><c> not</c><00:38:57.480><c> able</c><00:38:57.719><c> to</c><00:38:58.000><c> perform</c><00:38:58.260><c> it</c><00:38:58.840><c> thyself</c><00:39:00.099><c> alone.</c>

00:39:02.980 --> 00:39:05.699
Okay,<00:39:03.440><c> the</c><00:39:03.599><c> point</c><00:39:04.159><c> Jethro</c><00:39:04.599><c> is</c><00:39:04.820><c> making</c><00:39:05.199><c> is,</c>

Moses,<00:39:06.239><c> this</c><00:39:06.639><c> is</c><00:39:07.320><c> unsustainable.</c>

00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:11.960
The<00:39:09.860><c> matters</c><00:39:10.179><c> that</c><00:39:10.420><c> you're</c><00:39:10.639><c> having</c><00:39:10.920><c> to</c><00:39:11.260><c> deal</c><00:39:11.579><c> with</c>

00:39:18.260 --> 00:39:21.019

00:39:24.920 --> 00:39:27.159
We<00:39:24.980><c> know</c><00:39:25.280><c> Moses</c><00:39:25.960><c> was</c><00:39:26.219><c> a</c><00:39:26.340><c> remarkable</c><00:39:26.920><c> man.</c>

00:39:27.300 --> 00:39:29.739
At<00:39:27.300><c> the</c><00:39:27.420><c> end</c><00:39:27.539><c> of</c><00:39:27.679><c> his</c><00:39:27.880><c> life,</c><00:39:28.099><c> he</c><00:39:28.179><c> was</c><00:39:28.420><c> full</c><00:39:28.739><c> of</c><00:39:29.039><c> vitality</c><00:39:29.539><c> from</c>

00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:38.900
You<00:39:35.739><c> have</c><00:39:36.119><c> to</c><00:39:37.199><c> empower</c><00:39:37.760><c> and</c><00:39:38.139><c> trust</c><00:39:38.599><c> others.</c>

00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:41.800

00:39:41.900 --> 00:39:45.380
You<00:39:42.019><c> need</c><00:39:42.320><c> to</c><00:39:42.679><c> bring</c><00:39:43.260><c> others</c><00:39:43.980><c> through.</c>

00:39:47.980 --> 00:39:53.119
This<00:39:48.579><c> is</c><00:39:48.840><c> not</c><00:39:49.139><c> good</c><00:39:49.360><c> for</c><00:39:49.559><c> you,</c><00:39:50.579><c> and</c><00:39:50.880><c> it's</c><00:39:51.079><c> not</c><00:39:51.380><c> good</c><00:39:51.599><c> for</c><00:39:51.800><c> the</c><00:39:52.000><c> people.</c>

00:40:02.019 --> 00:40:04.300

00:40:04.559 --> 00:40:05.920
What<00:40:04.760><c> he's</c><00:40:05.139><c> saying</c><00:40:05.320><c> is,</c><00:40:05.900><c> Moses,</c>

00:40:05.940 --> 00:40:10.139

00:40:10.219 --> 00:40:15.000
You<00:40:10.360><c> are</c><00:40:10.619><c> building</c><00:40:11.139><c> an</c><00:40:11.800><c> emotional</c><00:40:12.719><c> reliance</c><00:40:13.579><c> upon</c><00:40:14.119><c> you.</c>

00:40:15.000 --> 00:40:18.400
You're<00:40:15.519><c> not</c><00:40:15.699><c> building</c><00:40:16.039><c> in</c><00:40:16.219><c> them</c><00:40:16.480><c> a</c><00:40:16.559><c> sense</c><00:40:16.920><c> of</c><00:40:17.199><c> resilience,</c>

00:40:21.699 --> 00:40:24.059
You're<00:40:21.960><c> not</c><00:40:22.260><c> developing</c><00:40:22.860><c> leaders,</c>

your<00:40:31.079><c> succession</c><00:40:31.719><c> planning</c><00:40:32.199><c> is</c><00:40:33.000><c> really</c><00:40:33.480><c> bad.</c>

00:40:35.940 --> 00:40:39.320
If<00:40:36.539><c> you</c><00:40:37.460><c> implode</c><00:40:38.139><c> here,</c>

00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:41.840
who<00:40:39.760><c> is</c><00:40:40.019><c> going</c><00:40:40.119><c> to</c><00:40:40.300><c> step</c><00:40:40.480><c> into</c><00:40:40.739><c> the</c><00:40:40.940><c> vacuum?</c>

00:40:42.300 --> 00:40:44.380
You're<00:40:42.860><c> actually</c><00:40:43.440><c> risking</c><00:40:43.880><c> the</c><00:40:44.159><c> people.</c>

00:40:44.380 --> 00:40:47.000
It's<00:40:44.619><c> a</c><00:40:44.719><c> precarious</c><00:40:45.519><c> situation,</c><00:40:46.900><c> Moses.</c>

00:40:47.500 --> 00:40:49.579
It's<00:40:48.000><c> not</c><00:40:48.460><c> wise.</c>

00:40:53.639 --> 00:40:56.460
And<00:40:53.800><c> then</c><00:40:54.019><c> he</c><00:40:54.159><c> gives</c><00:40:54.420><c> some</c><00:40:54.760><c> great</c><00:40:55.039><c> advice,</c><00:40:55.659><c> verse</c><00:40:55.940><c> 21.</c>

Because<00:46:30.400><c> our</c><00:46:30.699><c> young</c><00:46:30.900><c> people</c><00:46:31.400><c> are</c><00:46:32.260><c> talented,</c><00:46:33.880><c> extremely</c><00:46:34.460><c> talented.</c>

00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:43.559
In<00:46:36.920><c> fact,</c><00:46:38.780><c> if</c><00:46:39.000><c> we</c><00:46:39.400><c> don't</c><00:46:39.860><c> harness</c><00:46:40.559><c> our</c><00:46:42.179><c> young</c><00:46:42.480><c> today,</c>

00:46:48.380 --> 00:46:52.300

they<00:46:52.800><c> have</c><00:46:52.980><c> some</c><00:46:53.300><c> weird</c><00:46:53.539><c> ideas</c><00:46:54.019><c> sometimes,</c><00:46:54.639><c> some</c><00:46:54.980><c> zany</c><00:46:55.340><c> ideas.</c>

00:46:57.039 --> 00:46:59.880
Do<00:46:57.159><c> we</c><00:46:57.340><c> just</c><00:46:57.719><c> dismiss</c><00:46:58.239><c> them,</c><00:46:59.260><c> or</c><00:46:59.480><c> do</c><00:46:59.579><c> we</c><00:46:59.699><c> say,</c>

00:47:03.320 --> 00:47:06.539
but<00:47:03.320><c> maybe</c><00:47:03.780><c> we</c><00:47:03.960><c> could</c><00:47:04.260><c> just</c><00:47:04.780><c> shape</c><00:47:04.980><c> that</c><00:47:05.159><c> a</c><00:47:05.239><c> little</c><00:47:05.440><c> bit</c><00:47:05.760><c> like</c><00:47:06.019><c> this.</c>

00:47:07.000 --> 00:47:10.159
How<00:47:07.199><c> about</c><00:47:07.300><c> if</c><00:47:07.420><c> we</c><00:47:07.880><c> went</c><00:47:08.260><c> forward</c><00:47:08.619><c> on</c><00:47:08.940><c> this</c><00:47:09.199><c> basis?</c>

00:47:14.539 --> 00:47:17.019
But<00:47:14.679><c> if</c><00:47:14.820><c> it's</c><00:47:15.139><c> always,</c><00:47:15.559><c> no,</c><00:47:15.719><c> that's</c><00:47:16.019><c> ridiculous.</c>

Can't<00:47:18.199><c> do</c><00:47:18.699><c> that.</c>

00:47:20.019 --> 00:47:27.619

00:47:34.119 --> 00:47:39.860
We<00:47:34.360><c> all</c><00:47:34.639><c> learn,</c><00:47:35.679><c> we</c><00:47:35.860><c> all</c><00:47:36.099><c> grow,</c><00:47:37.360><c> and</c><00:47:37.460><c> we</c><00:47:37.619><c> all</c><00:47:37.800><c> develop</c><00:47:38.219><c> with</c><00:47:38.519><c> time.</c>

00:47:40.820 --> 00:47:46.719
Moses<00:47:41.539><c> needed</c><00:47:42.260><c> to</c><00:47:42.599><c> learn</c><00:47:42.980><c> to</c><00:47:43.420><c> empower</c><00:47:43.980><c> and</c><00:47:44.900><c> trust</c><00:47:45.340><c> and</c><00:47:45.860><c> delegate</c><00:47:46.260><c> to</c><00:47:46.539><c> others</c>

When<00:50:03.980><c> he</c><00:50:04.159><c> talks</c><00:50:04.460><c> about</c><00:50:04.820><c> this,</c><00:50:05.079><c> he</c><00:50:05.280><c> reminisces</c><00:50:05.699><c> on</c><00:50:05.900><c> it</c><00:50:06.019><c> in</c><00:50:06.219><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:50:06.719><c> 1,</c>

00:50:07.739 --> 00:50:11.940
and<00:50:08.280><c> in</c><00:50:08.460><c> verse</c><00:50:08.739><c> 9,</c><00:50:09.400><c> he</c><00:50:09.619><c> humbly</c><00:50:10.599><c> fronts</c><00:50:11.059><c> the</c><00:50:11.340><c> people,</c><00:50:11.699><c> and</c><00:50:11.800><c> he</c>

00:50:11.940 --> 00:50:13.920
says<00:50:12.159><c> to</c><00:50:12.340><c> them,</c><00:50:12.619><c> he</c><00:50:12.679><c> confesses.</c>

00:50:14.139 --> 00:50:17.599
He<00:50:14.280><c> says,</c><00:50:14.659><c> I</c><00:50:14.659><c> am</c><00:50:14.900><c> not</c><00:50:15.119><c> able</c><00:50:15.440><c> to</c><00:50:15.719><c> bear</c><00:50:15.960><c> you</c><00:50:16.179><c> myself</c><00:50:16.599><c> alone.</c>

00:50:18.539 --> 00:50:20.739
He<00:50:19.019><c> recognized</c><00:50:19.500><c> it.</c>

00:50:21.139 --> 00:50:23.980
But<00:50:21.340><c> then</c><00:50:21.519><c> in</c><00:50:21.699><c> verse</c><00:50:21.920><c> 17</c><00:50:22.559><c> of</c><00:50:22.760><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:50:23.219><c> 1,</c><00:50:23.579><c> he</c><00:50:23.699><c> says,</c>

00:50:24.400 --> 00:50:27.699
you<00:50:24.619><c> shall</c><00:50:25.019><c> not</c><00:50:25.679><c> respect</c><00:50:26.500><c> persons</c><00:50:27.079><c> in</c><00:50:27.400><c> judgment.</c>

00:50:27.800 --> 00:50:29.139
So<00:50:28.000><c> he</c><00:50:28.260><c> taught</c><00:50:28.420><c> them</c><00:50:28.599><c> how</c><00:50:28.800><c> to</c><00:50:29.000><c> judge.</c>

00:50:29.179 --> 00:50:32.639
He<00:50:29.300><c> says,</c><00:50:29.559><c> when</c><00:50:29.719><c> you</c><00:50:29.960><c> judge,</c><00:50:31.320><c> don't</c><00:50:31.639><c> respect</c><00:50:32.099><c> persons,</c>

00:50:32.639 --> 00:50:38.699
but<00:50:33.260><c> you</c><00:50:34.280><c> shall</c><00:50:34.539><c> hear</c><00:50:34.880><c> the</c><00:50:35.360><c> small</c><00:50:35.960><c> as</c><00:50:37.019><c> well</c><00:50:37.239><c> as</c><00:50:37.440><c> the</c><00:50:37.719><c> great.</c>

00:50:39.179 --> 00:50:42.519
You<00:50:39.360><c> shall</c><00:50:39.599><c> not</c><00:50:39.800><c> be</c><00:50:40.039><c> afraid</c><00:50:40.840><c> of</c><00:50:41.179><c> the</c><00:50:41.420><c> face</c><00:50:41.880><c> of</c><00:50:42.179><c> man.</c>

00:50:42.579 --> 00:50:44.400
An<00:50:42.760><c> odd</c><00:50:42.940><c> expression,</c><00:50:43.480><c> but</c><00:50:43.559><c> we'll</c><00:50:43.719><c> come</c><00:50:43.960><c> back</c><00:50:44.159><c> to</c><00:50:44.280><c> that.</c>

00:50:44.519 --> 00:50:48.159
You<00:50:44.539><c> shall</c><00:50:44.760><c> not</c><00:50:44.900><c> be</c><00:50:45.039><c> afraid</c><00:50:45.539><c> of</c><00:50:45.719><c> the</c><00:50:45.840><c> face</c><00:50:46.119><c> of</c><00:50:46.360><c> man,</c><00:50:47.679><c> for</c><00:50:47.880><c> the</c>

00:50:48.159 --> 00:50:50.360
judgment<00:50:48.559><c> is</c><00:50:49.460><c> God's.</c>

00:50:50.380 --> 00:50:53.940
Now,<00:50:50.599><c> there's</c><00:50:50.820><c> no</c><00:50:51.059><c> record</c><00:50:51.559><c> of</c><00:50:51.719><c> Moses</c><00:50:52.000><c> being</c><00:50:52.280><c> told</c><00:50:52.579><c> that</c><00:50:52.780><c> by</c><00:50:53.059><c> Jethro</c><00:50:53.460><c> or</c><00:50:53.699><c> God.</c>

00:50:54.019 --> 00:50:55.179
That's<00:50:54.500><c> his</c><00:50:54.800><c> tip.</c>

00:50:55.659 --> 00:50:58.440
That's<00:50:56.179><c> how</c><00:50:56.460><c> Moses</c><00:50:57.039><c> judged.</c>

00:51:00.179 --> 00:51:03.760
Let's<00:51:00.920><c> just</c><00:51:01.219><c> unpack</c><00:51:01.699><c> some</c><00:51:01.900><c> of</c><00:51:02.019><c> those</c><00:51:02.199><c> words</c><00:51:02.440><c> if</c><00:51:02.619><c> you're</c><00:51:02.820><c> looking</c><00:51:03.099><c> at</c><00:51:03.599><c> it</c>

00:51:03.760 --> 00:51:06.539
there<00:51:04.059><c> in</c><00:51:04.760><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:51:05.380><c> 1,</c>

00:51:07.199 --> 00:51:10.420
because<00:51:07.800><c> they're</c><00:51:08.019><c> very,</c><00:51:08.340><c> very</c><00:51:08.659><c> interesting</c><00:51:09.079><c> words.</c>

00:51:11.940 --> 00:51:18.769
Where<00:51:12.119><c> it</c><00:51:12.360><c> says</c><00:51:12.599><c> there</c><00:51:14.079><c> the</c><00:51:15.199><c> word</c><00:51:15.579><c> respect,</c><00:51:17.900><c> okay?</c>

00:51:19.199 --> 00:51:21.940
You<00:51:19.559><c> shall</c><00:51:19.840><c> not</c><00:51:20.239><c> respect</c><00:51:20.880><c> persons</c><00:51:21.400><c> in</c><00:51:21.659><c> judgment.</c>

00:51:21.940 --> 00:51:27.900
The<00:51:22.119><c> word</c><00:51:22.420><c> respect</c><00:51:23.000><c> actually</c><00:51:23.679><c> means</c><00:51:24.380><c> to</c><00:51:25.019><c> recognize,</c><00:51:26.659><c> to</c><00:51:26.920><c> know,</c>

00:51:28.059 --> 00:51:30.400
or<00:51:28.260><c> to</c><00:51:28.420><c> be</c><00:51:28.699><c> acquainted</c><00:51:29.119><c> with</c><00:51:29.400><c> somebody.</c>

00:51:30.880 --> 00:51:36.219
That's<00:51:31.039><c> what</c><00:51:31.239><c> the</c><00:51:31.420><c> word</c><00:51:31.559><c> respect</c><00:51:32.079><c> means</c><00:51:32.400><c> there</c><00:51:32.679><c> in</c><00:51:32.780><c> Deuteronomy</c><00:51:33.159><c> 1,</c><00:51:35.119><c> okay?</c>

00:51:36.400 --> 00:51:40.980
Similarly,<00:51:37.340><c> the</c><00:51:37.519><c> word</c><00:51:38.000><c> persons</c><00:51:38.639><c> is</c><00:51:39.119><c> literally</c><00:51:39.559><c> the</c><00:51:39.800><c> word</c><00:51:40.440><c> faces.</c>

00:51:41.179 --> 00:51:44.219
It's<00:51:41.440><c> actually</c><00:51:41.800><c> the</c><00:51:42.079><c> exact</c><00:51:42.380><c> same</c><00:51:42.719><c> word</c><00:51:43.099><c> rendered</c><00:51:43.559><c> face,</c>

00:51:44.440 --> 00:51:51.400
as<00:51:44.579><c> in</c><00:51:45.039><c> you</c><00:51:45.480><c> shall</c><00:51:45.739><c> not</c><00:51:46.059><c> be</c><00:51:46.300><c> afraid</c><00:51:46.860><c> of</c><00:51:47.559><c> the</c><00:51:47.820><c> face</c><00:51:48.559><c> of</c><00:51:49.420><c> man,</c><00:51:50.880><c> okay?</c>

00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:54.699
And<00:51:51.920><c> then</c><00:51:52.139><c> the</c><00:51:52.280><c> last</c><00:51:52.539><c> one</c><00:51:52.699><c> is</c><00:51:52.900><c> the</c><00:51:53.059><c> word</c><00:51:53.340><c> afraid</c><00:51:53.820><c> is</c><00:51:54.179><c> really</c><00:51:54.460><c> an</c>

00:51:54.699 --> 00:51:55.340
odd<00:51:54.880><c> expression.</c>

00:51:55.539 --> 00:52:00.619
It<00:51:55.539><c> means</c><00:51:55.880><c> to</c><00:51:56.400><c> sojourn,</c><00:51:57.840><c> dwell,</c><00:51:59.039><c> or</c><00:51:59.260><c> abide</c><00:51:59.659><c> with.</c>

00:52:01.519 --> 00:52:06.159
So<00:52:01.780><c> very</c><00:52:02.199><c> interesting,</c><00:52:02.760><c> and</c><00:52:02.940><c> a</c><00:52:03.019><c> lot</c><00:52:03.079><c> of</c><00:52:03.179><c> that's</c><00:52:03.500><c> lost</c><00:52:04.159><c> in</c><00:52:04.800><c> the</c><00:52:05.079><c> translation.</c>

00:52:06.420 --> 00:52:07.760
So<00:52:06.579><c> let's</c><00:52:06.739><c> just</c><00:52:07.079><c> unpack</c><00:52:07.480><c> that.</c>

00:52:07.780 --> 00:52:12.500
He<00:52:08.019><c> said</c><00:52:08.159><c> respect</c><00:52:08.980><c> people</c><00:52:09.920><c> you</c><00:52:10.440><c> recognize</c><00:52:11.179><c> or</c><00:52:11.619><c> acquainted</c><00:52:12.119><c> with.</c>

00:52:12.500 --> 00:52:18.699
It's<00:52:13.639><c> basically</c><00:52:14.300><c> saying</c><00:52:14.920><c> when</c><00:52:15.460><c> you</c><00:52:15.940><c> judge,</c><00:52:17.000><c> be</c><00:52:17.519><c> blind.</c>

00:52:21.360 --> 00:52:22.659
That's<00:52:21.940><c> a</c><00:52:22.000><c> bit</c><00:52:22.119><c> odd,</c><00:52:22.559><c> David.</c>

00:52:22.840 --> 00:52:27.960
Well,<00:52:23.900><c> now</c><00:52:24.300><c> in,</c><00:52:24.739><c> for</c><00:52:24.980><c> example,</c><00:52:25.340><c> my</c><00:52:25.599><c> profession,</c><00:52:27.340><c> when</c><00:52:27.519><c> we</c><00:52:27.719><c> get</c>

00:52:35.960 --> 00:52:42.059
It<00:52:36.420><c> has</c><00:52:36.840><c> to</c><00:52:37.079><c> be</c><00:52:37.420><c> blind</c><00:52:37.940><c> to</c><00:52:38.679><c> strip</c><00:52:39.219><c> out</c><00:52:40.320><c> any</c><00:52:40.940><c> form</c><00:52:41.239><c> of</c><00:52:41.619><c> prejudice</c>

00:52:42.059 --> 00:52:43.840
or<00:52:42.619><c> discrimination.</c>

00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:49.579
What<00:52:45.760><c> Moses</c><00:52:46.119><c> is</c><00:52:46.440><c> saying</c><00:52:46.659><c> is</c><00:52:47.000><c> when</c><00:52:47.260><c> you</c><00:52:47.659><c> judge,</c><00:52:48.820><c> be</c><00:52:49.159><c> blind.</c>

00:52:49.760 --> 00:52:52.360
Don't<00:52:50.219><c> say,</c><00:52:50.699><c> oh,</c><00:52:51.159><c> I</c><00:52:51.400><c> recognize.</c>

00:52:52.500 --> 00:52:54.440
So<00:52:52.619><c> Moses</c><00:52:52.920><c> got</c><00:52:53.119><c> them</c><00:52:53.280><c> lining</c><00:52:53.500><c> up,</c><00:52:53.760><c> all</c><00:52:53.840><c> the</c><00:52:54.000><c> other</c><00:52:54.179><c> judges.</c>

00:52:54.800 --> 00:52:56.460
Oh,<00:52:55.219><c> it's</c><00:52:55.500><c> Greg</c><00:52:55.760><c> Horan,</c><00:52:56.159><c> right.</c>

00:52:56.920 --> 00:52:59.639
Very<00:52:57.280><c> favorable</c><00:52:57.679><c> to</c><00:52:57.900><c> Greg,</c><00:52:58.260><c> I</c><00:52:58.480><c> recognize</c><00:52:58.860><c> him.</c>

00:53:01.380 --> 00:53:02.820
He's<00:53:01.639><c> saying</c><00:53:01.760><c> don't</c><00:53:02.059><c> be</c><00:53:02.280><c> like</c><00:53:02.539><c> that.</c>

00:53:02.820 --> 00:53:06.199

00:53:18.199 --> 00:53:22.280

00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:45.119
Done.

00:53:45.440 --> 00:53:49.719
Oh,<00:53:45.760><c> but</c><00:53:46.139><c> this</c><00:53:46.960><c> is</c><00:53:47.300><c> a</c><00:53:47.460><c> very</c><00:53:47.800><c> esteemed</c><00:53:48.239><c> brother</c><00:53:48.579><c> here.</c>

00:53:50.019 --> 00:53:52.519

quick,<00:54:04.320><c> done.</c>

00:54:05.460 --> 00:54:06.599
That's<00:54:05.679><c> what</c><00:54:05.840><c> Moses</c><00:54:06.179><c> is</c><00:54:06.460><c> saying.</c>

00:54:06.659 --> 00:54:08.980

It's<00:54:09.300><c> not</c><00:54:09.480><c> about</c><00:54:09.760><c> that.</c>

00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:12.199
You<00:54:10.199><c> cannot</c><00:54:10.659><c> be</c><00:54:11.619><c> partial.</c>

00:54:12.400 --> 00:54:16.139
Don't<00:54:12.639><c> be</c><00:54:12.900><c> a</c><00:54:13.139><c> respecter</c><00:54:14.739><c> of</c><00:54:15.079><c> persons,</c>

Give<00:54:19.940><c> all</c><00:54:20.420><c> of</c><00:54:20.579><c> them</c><00:54:21.119><c> the</c><00:54:21.599><c> same</c><00:54:22.340><c> time</c><00:54:22.960><c> of</c><00:54:23.400><c> day.</c>

00:54:25.039 --> 00:54:26.500
What<00:54:25.179><c> a</c><00:54:25.440><c> great</c><00:54:25.619><c> man</c><00:54:25.980><c> Moses</c><00:54:26.300><c> was.</c>

00:54:26.579 --> 00:54:29.800
That's<00:54:26.920><c> his</c><00:54:27.280><c> counsel</c><00:54:27.860><c> to</c><00:54:28.380><c> these</c><00:54:28.639><c> new</c><00:54:28.900><c> judges.</c>

00:54:30.260 --> 00:54:31.380
That's<00:54:30.559><c> how</c><00:54:30.760><c> we</c><00:54:30.920><c> want</c><00:54:31.059><c> to</c><00:54:31.219><c> judge.</c>

00:54:31.619 --> 00:54:34.360
And<00:54:31.699><c> again,</c><00:54:31.920><c> I</c><00:54:32.119><c> said</c><00:54:32.340><c> that</c><00:54:33.079><c> some</c><00:54:33.400><c> of</c><00:54:33.500><c> the</c><00:54:33.619><c> most</c><00:54:33.820><c> confronting</c>

Remember<00:54:36.239><c> I</c><00:54:36.440><c> talked</c><00:54:36.659><c> about</c><00:54:37.320><c> one</c><00:54:37.739><c> of</c><00:54:37.820><c> those</c><00:54:38.059><c> other</c><00:54:38.400><c> quotes</c>

00:54:40.019 --> 00:54:45.300
What<00:54:40.199><c> about</c><00:54:40.440><c> that</c><00:54:40.719><c> other</c><00:54:40.900><c> one</c><00:54:41.539><c> that</c><00:54:42.119><c> James</c><00:54:42.480><c> says</c><00:54:42.940><c> around</c><00:54:43.760><c> partiality</c><00:54:44.900><c> and</c>

00:54:46.280 --> 00:54:49.340
Do<00:54:46.460><c> you</c><00:54:46.619><c> sometimes</c><00:54:47.119><c> feel</c><00:54:47.440><c> a</c><00:54:47.519><c> bit</c><00:54:47.619><c> awkward</c><00:54:48.099><c> when</c><00:54:48.780><c> you</c><00:54:49.000><c> read</c><00:54:49.179><c> it</c>

My<00:54:53.860><c> brethren,</c><00:54:54.340><c> have</c><00:54:54.639><c> not</c><00:54:54.960><c> the</c><00:54:55.159><c> faith</c><00:54:55.380><c> of</c><00:54:55.579><c> our</c><00:54:55.719><c> Lord</c><00:54:55.940><c> Jesus</c><00:54:56.440><c> Christ,</c>

00:55:23.139 --> 00:55:26.860
And<00:55:23.320><c> then</c><00:55:23.500><c> you</c><00:55:23.599><c> say</c><00:55:23.719><c> to</c><00:55:23.920><c> the</c><00:55:24.139><c> poor,</c><00:55:24.699><c> oh,</c><00:55:24.820><c> stand</c><00:55:25.320><c> up</c><00:55:25.539><c> there,</c><00:55:26.519><c> up</c>

00:55:31.159 --> 00:55:32.920
There's<00:55:31.420><c> a</c><00:55:31.480><c> great</c><00:55:31.639><c> spot</c><00:55:31.860><c> for</c><00:55:32.119><c> you.</c>

00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:38.460
Are<00:55:34.360><c> you</c><00:55:34.559><c> not</c><00:55:34.760><c> then</c><00:55:35.159><c> partial</c><00:55:35.619><c> in</c><00:55:35.860><c> yourselves</c><00:55:36.440><c> and</c><00:55:37.179><c> become</c><00:55:37.579><c> judges</c><00:55:38.159><c> of</c>

00:55:47.320 --> 00:55:49.019
