So<00:05:11.199><c> I</c><00:05:11.360><c> recommend</c><00:05:11.740><c> them</c><00:05:11.959><c> to</c><00:05:12.160><c> you.</c>

00:05:12.959 --> 00:05:16.139
We're<00:05:13.160><c> going</c><00:05:13.160><c> to</c><00:05:13.259><c> look</c><00:05:13.399><c> now</c><00:05:13.699><c> in</c><00:05:15.079><c> Second</c><00:05:15.420><c> Corinthians</c><00:05:15.759><c> chapter</c>

00:05:16.139 --> 00:05:17.980
two<00:05:16.540><c> again,</c>

00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.439
and<00:05:18.839><c> verse</c><00:05:19.100><c> five</c><00:05:19.740><c> through</c><00:05:20.180><c> 11.</c>

00:05:26.939 --> 00:05:32.560
One<00:05:27.540><c> of</c><00:05:27.740><c> Paul's</c><00:05:28.240><c> great</c><00:05:28.519><c> worries</c><00:05:28.959><c> was</c><00:05:30.160><c> this</c><00:05:30.560><c> continuing</c><00:05:31.240><c> problem</c><00:05:31.920><c> of</c>

00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:33.759
sexual<00:05:32.980><c> immorality.</c>

00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.920
And<00:05:34.139><c> this</c><00:05:34.279><c> was</c><00:05:34.540><c> particularly</c><00:05:35.240><c> a</c><00:05:35.540><c> problem,</c><00:05:35.740><c> as</c><00:05:35.899><c> we've</c><00:05:36.220><c> discussed</c><00:05:36.519><c> well</c><00:05:36.779><c> in</c><00:05:37.079><c> Corinth.</c>

00:05:38.459 --> 00:05:42.139
And<00:05:38.620><c> this</c><00:05:38.720><c> is</c><00:05:39.079><c> at</c><00:05:39.220><c> least</c><00:05:39.540><c> the</c><00:05:39.720><c> third</c><00:05:40.019><c> time</c><00:05:40.399><c> he</c><00:05:40.540><c> writes</c><00:05:40.879><c> about</c>

00:05:42.139 --> 00:05:43.180
the<00:05:42.740><c> issue,</c>

00:05:43.259 --> 00:05:46.319
and<00:05:43.579><c> finally</c><00:05:43.959><c> it</c><00:05:44.199><c> seems</c><00:05:44.459><c> that</c><00:05:44.639><c> they</c><00:05:44.839><c> are</c><00:05:45.000><c> getting</c><00:05:45.180><c> the</c><00:05:45.480><c> point.</c>

00:05:46.579 --> 00:05:48.660
Remember<00:05:47.019><c> we</c><00:05:47.160><c> talked</c><00:05:47.399><c> about</c><00:05:47.540><c> this</c><00:05:47.740><c> morning,</c><00:05:48.040><c> the</c><00:05:48.199><c> specific</c>

00:05:48.660 --> 00:05:50.100
problem<00:05:49.139><c> seemed</c><00:05:49.399><c> to</c><00:05:49.600><c> be</c>

00:05:50.100 --> 00:05:54.699
that<00:05:50.819><c> a</c><00:05:51.100><c> man</c><00:05:51.379><c> had</c><00:05:51.660><c> taken</c><00:05:51.879><c> his</c><00:05:52.120><c> father's</c><00:05:52.639><c> wife,</c><00:05:53.379><c> presumably</c><00:05:54.019><c> a</c>

00:05:54.699 --> 00:05:55.399
younger<00:05:55.000><c> wife,</c>

00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:57.600
a<00:05:55.660><c> second</c><00:05:55.920><c> wife</c><00:05:56.240><c> or</c><00:05:56.420><c> something,</c><00:05:56.779><c> although</c><00:05:56.879><c> we</c><00:05:57.000><c> don't</c><00:05:57.279><c> know.</c>

00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.579
And<00:05:58.160><c> the</c><00:05:58.339><c> problem</c><00:05:58.620><c> was</c><00:05:58.920><c> nobody</c><00:05:59.259><c> seemed</c><00:05:59.560><c> to</c><00:05:59.699><c> be</c><00:05:59.959><c> troubled</c><00:06:00.300><c> by</c>

00:06:00.579 --> 00:06:02.139
this<00:06:00.839><c> terrible</c><00:06:01.220><c> event.</c>

00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:05.319
So<00:06:02.519><c> I'd</c><00:06:02.660><c> like</c><00:06:02.680><c> us</c><00:06:02.879><c> to</c><00:06:03.019><c> try</c><00:06:03.160><c> and</c><00:06:04.100><c> put</c><00:06:04.379><c> the</c><00:06:04.600><c> pieces</c><00:06:04.839><c> together</c>

00:06:05.319 --> 00:06:08.000
so<00:06:05.540><c> then</c><00:06:05.680><c> we</c><00:06:05.800><c> can</c><00:06:05.959><c> make</c><00:06:06.199><c> some</c><00:06:06.439><c> sense</c><00:06:06.800><c> out</c><00:06:07.040><c> of</c><00:06:07.199><c> his</c><00:06:07.360><c> comments</c><00:06:07.740><c> in</c>

00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:09.199
Second<00:06:08.199><c> Corinthians.</c>

00:06:09.540 --> 00:06:12.399
Again,<00:06:09.879><c> you</c><00:06:10.079><c> remember</c><00:06:10.399><c> in</c><00:06:11.040><c> First</c><00:06:11.579><c> Corinthians</c><00:06:12.060><c> chapter</c>

00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:13.399
five,<00:06:12.819><c> verse</c><00:06:13.060><c> nine,</c>

00:06:13.420 --> 00:06:16.019
I<00:06:13.620><c> remember</c><00:06:13.779><c> we</c><00:06:14.220><c> started</c><00:06:14.420><c> out</c><00:06:14.699><c> and</c><00:06:14.860><c> said</c><00:06:14.959><c> there</c><00:06:15.079><c> was</c><00:06:15.259><c> a</c><00:06:15.420><c> first</c><00:06:15.660><c> letter.</c>

00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:19.060
And<00:06:16.699><c> what</c><00:06:16.779><c> was</c><00:06:16.959><c> the</c><00:06:17.079><c> subject?</c><00:06:18.540><c> Fornication.</c>

00:06:19.420 --> 00:06:23.160
All<00:06:19.620><c> right?</c><00:06:19.920><c> It</c><00:06:20.160><c> was,</c><00:06:20.800><c> I</c><00:06:20.800><c> wrote</c><00:06:21.079><c> to</c><00:06:21.319><c> you</c><00:06:21.620><c> not</c><00:06:21.899><c> to</c><00:06:22.100><c> company</c><00:06:22.360><c> with</c><00:06:22.620><c> fornicators.</c>

00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:26.220
So<00:06:23.319><c> that</c><00:06:23.439><c> was</c><00:06:23.680><c> the</c><00:06:23.839><c> first</c><00:06:24.060><c> time</c><00:06:24.300><c> you</c><00:06:24.439><c> dealt</c><00:06:24.639><c> with</c><00:06:24.839><c> it.</c>

00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.459
And<00:06:26.860><c> the</c><00:06:27.079><c> implication</c><00:06:27.519><c> was</c><00:06:27.819><c> and</c><00:06:27.959><c> you</c><00:06:28.100><c> didn't</c><00:06:28.439><c> listen.</c>

00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:32.079
There's<00:06:30.180><c> no</c><00:06:30.399><c> record</c><00:06:30.660><c> of</c><00:06:30.779><c> this</c><00:06:31.019><c> matter</c><00:06:31.300><c> or</c><00:06:31.459><c> what</c><00:06:31.660><c> else</c><00:06:31.879><c> the</c>

00:06:33.180 --> 00:06:34.860
but<00:06:33.360><c> it</c><00:06:33.480><c> was</c><00:06:33.660><c> just</c><00:06:33.879><c> lost.</c>

00:06:36.620 --> 00:06:40.040
And<00:06:36.959><c> then</c><00:06:37.439><c> you</c><00:06:38.540><c> remember</c><00:06:38.899><c> in</c><00:06:39.279><c> First</c><00:06:39.540><c> Corinthians,</c>

00:06:40.180 --> 00:06:41.480

00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:45.339

00:06:56.379 --> 00:06:59.100

00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:10.579
Although<00:08:08.680><c> I</c><00:08:08.819><c> do</c><00:08:09.000><c> not</c><00:08:09.199><c> regret</c><00:08:09.439><c> it,</c><00:08:09.560><c> though</c><00:08:09.740><c> I</c><00:08:09.800><c> did</c><00:08:10.040><c> regret</c><00:08:10.300><c> it,</c>

00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.259
Even<00:08:15.959><c> though</c><00:08:16.439><c> I</c><00:08:16.620><c> wrote</c><00:08:16.860><c> to</c><00:08:17.100><c> you,</c>

00:08:21.019 --> 00:08:22.699
but<00:08:21.160><c> rather</c><00:08:21.560><c> that</c><00:08:21.899><c> before</c><00:08:22.319><c> God,</c>

00:08:23.040 --> 00:08:25.939

00:08:28.899 --> 00:08:31.860
giving<00:08:29.120><c> them</c><00:08:29.459><c> the</c><00:08:29.639><c> opportunity</c><00:08:30.199><c> to</c><00:08:30.519><c> right</c><00:08:30.819><c> a</c><00:08:31.100><c> wrong</c><00:08:31.319><c> and</c><00:08:31.720><c> show</c>

00:08:31.860 --> 00:08:32.940
their<00:08:32.059><c> devotion.</c>

00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:35.460
So<00:08:34.259><c> we've</c><00:08:34.460><c> got</c><00:08:34.539><c> a</c><00:08:34.679><c> very</c><00:08:34.940><c> severe</c><00:08:35.139><c> letter.</c>

00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.440
It's<00:08:35.799><c> been</c><00:08:36.000><c> suggested</c><00:08:36.419><c> that</c><00:08:36.620><c> it</c><00:08:36.740><c> was</c><00:08:36.740><c> some</c><00:08:37.039><c> other</c><00:08:37.440><c> severe</c><00:08:38.120><c> letter,</c>

00:08:39.659 --> 00:08:43.659
Another<00:08:40.440><c> severe</c><00:08:41.000><c> letter,</c><00:08:41.299><c> which</c><00:08:41.460><c> is</c><00:08:41.659><c> also</c><00:08:41.899><c> being</c><00:08:42.220><c> lost,</c><00:08:43.480><c> was</c>

sent<00:08:44.240><c> to</c><00:08:44.679><c> Corinth.</c>

00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:51.360
I<00:08:45.539><c> would</c><00:08:45.820><c> like</c><00:08:46.139><c> to</c><00:08:47.139><c> suggest</c><00:08:47.919><c> to</c><00:08:48.179><c> you</c><00:08:48.700><c> that</c><00:08:49.840><c> 1</c><00:08:50.120><c> Corinthians</c><00:08:50.700><c> was</c>

00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.019

00:08:55.580 --> 00:08:58.779
And<00:08:55.700><c> I'd</c><00:08:55.919><c> say</c><00:08:56.100><c> specifically</c><00:08:56.779><c> the</c><00:08:57.399><c> severe</c><00:08:57.860><c> part</c><00:08:58.299><c> of</c><00:08:58.580><c> that,</c>

00:08:58.820 --> 00:09:01.379
and<00:08:58.940><c> maybe</c><00:08:59.200><c> it</c><00:08:59.399><c> came</c><00:08:59.559><c> in</c><00:08:59.720><c> two</c><00:08:59.940><c> volumes,</c><00:09:00.340><c> although</c><00:09:00.440><c> I</c><00:09:00.519><c> don't</c><00:09:00.720><c> believe</c><00:09:00.960><c> it</c><00:09:01.200><c> did,</c>

00:09:01.860 --> 00:09:05.879
but<00:09:02.139><c> specifically</c><00:09:03.019><c> 1</c><00:09:03.620><c> Corinthians</c><00:09:04.120><c> chapter</c><00:09:04.440><c> one,</c><00:09:04.879><c> verse</c><00:09:05.200><c> six,</c>

00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:10.059
reads<00:09:06.600><c> like</c><00:09:07.179><c> a</c><00:09:07.480><c> specific</c><00:09:08.000><c> issue</c><00:09:08.440><c> and</c><00:09:08.679><c> it</c><00:09:09.059><c> closes</c><00:09:09.399><c> with</c><00:09:09.799><c> a</c>

00:09:10.059 --> 00:09:10.799
summary<00:09:10.360><c> appeal,</c>

00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:13.220
and<00:09:11.320><c> then</c><00:09:11.440><c> he</c><00:09:11.580><c> goes</c><00:09:11.720><c> on</c><00:09:11.899><c> with</c><00:09:12.039><c> new</c><00:09:12.240><c> material.</c>

00:09:13.419 --> 00:09:15.539
So<00:09:13.759><c> the</c><00:09:14.019><c> question</c><00:09:14.360><c> is,</c><00:09:14.740><c> is</c><00:09:14.860><c> 1</c><00:09:15.120><c> Corinthians,</c>

very<00:09:22.840><c> severe?</c>

00:09:26.620 --> 00:09:28.480
Let's<00:09:26.940><c> just</c><00:09:27.120><c> run</c><00:09:27.279><c> through</c><00:09:27.460><c> them</c><00:09:27.620><c> briefly.</c>

00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:31.100
We<00:09:28.679><c> see</c><00:09:28.899><c> in</c><00:09:29.059><c> chapter</c><00:09:29.399><c> one,</c><00:09:29.799><c> verse</c><00:09:30.039><c> 11</c><00:09:30.379><c> and</c><00:09:30.559><c> 12,</c>

00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:34.620

00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:40.100
Hey,<00:09:38.120><c> brethren,</c><00:09:38.820><c> do</c><00:09:38.980><c> you</c><00:09:39.240><c> realize</c><00:09:39.580><c> what</c><00:09:39.759><c> you're</c><00:09:39.940><c> doing?</c>

00:09:40.179 --> 00:09:43.840
You're<00:09:40.460><c> fighting</c><00:09:40.740><c> with</c><00:09:41.039><c> one</c><00:09:41.220><c> another</c><00:09:41.519><c> is</c><00:09:41.759><c> the</c><00:09:41.879><c> idea</c><00:09:42.179><c> behind</c><00:09:42.679><c> it.</c>

00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:45.159
Chapter<00:09:44.240><c> three,</c><00:09:44.519><c> how</c><00:09:44.679><c> would</c><00:09:44.759><c> you</c><00:09:44.860><c> like</c><00:09:44.980><c> this?</c>

00:09:45.299 --> 00:09:48.039
And<00:09:45.399><c> think</c><00:09:45.539><c> about</c><00:09:45.779><c> this,</c><00:09:45.980><c> if</c><00:09:46.159><c> these</c><00:09:46.419><c> words</c><00:09:46.659><c> were</c><00:09:46.899><c> said</c><00:09:47.080><c> to</c><00:09:47.419><c> our</c><00:09:47.679><c> Ecclesia,</c>

00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:52.820

00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:57.539
you<00:09:53.639><c> are</c><00:09:54.059><c> so</c><00:09:54.620><c> worldly</c><00:09:55.200><c> or</c><00:09:55.720><c> carnal</c><00:09:56.059><c> in</c><00:09:56.639><c> chapter</c><00:09:57.059><c> three,</c>

00:09:57.600 --> 00:09:59.860
verse<00:09:57.919><c> one</c><00:09:58.220><c> through</c><00:09:58.399><c> three</c><00:09:58.679><c> there,</c><00:09:59.340><c> all</c><00:09:59.659><c> right?</c>

00:10:00.299 --> 00:10:02.519
And<00:10:00.559><c> then</c><00:10:00.899><c> you're</c><00:10:01.240><c> like</c><00:10:01.440><c> mere</c><00:10:01.639><c> infants</c><00:10:02.059><c> in</c><00:10:02.320><c> Christ.</c>

00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:04.100
You're<00:10:02.779><c> like</c><00:10:03.019><c> babies,</c><00:10:03.820><c> brethren.</c>

00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:05.019

It<00:19:17.859><c> goes</c><00:19:18.720><c> against</c><00:19:19.539><c> that</c><00:19:19.740><c> which</c><00:19:20.000><c> flows</c><00:19:20.240><c> from</c><00:19:20.460><c> the</c><00:19:20.640><c> natural</c><00:19:20.839><c> emotion.</c>

00:19:21.380 --> 00:19:23.240
But<00:19:21.440><c> what</c><00:19:21.599><c> it</c><00:19:21.819><c> does,</c><00:19:22.279><c> true</c><00:19:22.359><c> mature</c><00:19:22.759><c> love,</c>

00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:26.859

00:19:29.740 --> 00:19:33.000
And<00:19:29.839><c> it</c><00:19:31.359><c> challenges</c><00:19:31.680><c> us</c><00:19:31.940><c> to</c><00:19:32.119><c> make</c><00:19:32.279><c> the</c><00:19:32.599><c> choice</c>

00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.019

00:19:36.500 --> 00:19:38.440
whether<00:19:36.640><c> it's</c><00:19:36.960><c> our</c><00:19:37.119><c> brethren</c><00:19:37.759><c> and</c><00:19:38.000><c> sisters,</c>

00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:45.019
True<00:19:41.420><c> love</c><00:19:42.039><c> is</c><00:19:43.000><c> that</c><00:19:43.380><c> love</c><00:19:43.660><c> that</c><00:19:43.900><c> makes</c><00:19:44.240><c> the</c><00:19:44.559><c> choice</c>

00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:49.660
And<00:19:47.599><c> that's</c><00:19:47.819><c> why</c><00:19:47.920><c> I</c><00:19:47.920><c> believe</c><00:19:48.359><c> love</c><00:19:48.740><c> is</c><00:19:48.940><c> always</c><00:19:49.180><c> greater</c><00:19:49.480><c> than</c>

00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:52.299
Because<00:19:51.160><c> love</c><00:19:51.420><c> is</c><00:19:51.660><c> outward</c><00:19:51.900><c>-looking.</c>

00:19:52.619 --> 00:19:55.079
Faith<00:19:52.819><c> and</c><00:19:53.000><c> hope</c><00:19:53.160><c> is</c><00:19:53.279><c> something</c><00:19:53.500><c> which</c><00:19:53.640><c> we</c><00:19:53.799><c> have</c><00:19:53.940><c> for</c><00:19:54.160><c> ourselves.</c>

00:19:55.259 --> 00:19:58.720
And<00:19:55.259><c> so</c><00:19:56.339><c> I</c><00:19:56.619><c> think</c><00:19:56.779><c> as</c><00:19:56.940><c> we</c><00:19:57.099><c> think</c><00:19:57.259><c> then</c><00:19:57.400><c> about</c><00:19:57.680><c> 2</c><00:19:57.960><c> Corinthians,</c>

00:19:58.940 --> 00:20:01.160
I<00:19:58.940><c> think</c><00:19:59.200><c> you</c><00:19:59.880><c> parents</c><00:20:00.319><c> can</c><00:20:00.559><c> relate</c><00:20:00.859><c> to</c><00:20:01.039><c> this.</c>

00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:04.740
Have<00:20:01.279><c> you</c><00:20:01.400><c> ever</c><00:20:01.519><c> heard</c><00:20:02.640><c> yourself</c><00:20:03.000><c> making</c><00:20:03.380><c> that</c><00:20:03.619><c> silly</c><00:20:03.819><c> statement,</c>

00:20:05.059 --> 00:20:07.920
it<00:20:05.259><c> hurts</c><00:20:05.559><c> me</c><00:20:05.779><c> more</c><00:20:06.019><c> than</c><00:20:06.119><c> it</c><00:20:06.259><c> hurts</c><00:20:06.539><c> you?</c>

00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:12.740
Well,<00:20:09.819><c> sorry,</c><00:20:10.220><c> you've</c><00:20:10.619><c> been</c><00:20:10.839><c> there,</c>

00:20:16.259 --> 00:20:23.160
But<00:20:16.819><c> you</c><00:20:17.380><c> can</c><00:20:17.759><c> see</c><00:20:18.380><c> that</c><00:20:19.519><c> this</c><00:20:19.859><c> was</c><00:20:20.480><c> hurting</c><00:20:20.819><c> Paul</c><00:20:21.480><c> terribly</c>

00:20:28.880 --> 00:20:30.200

00:30:09.539 --> 00:30:12.160
I<00:30:09.660><c> mean,</c><00:30:09.779><c> we</c><00:30:11.000><c> should</c><00:30:11.259><c> do</c><00:30:11.660><c> other</c><00:30:11.900><c> things.</c>

and<00:30:14.319><c> basically</c><00:30:15.319><c> the</c><00:30:15.440><c> idea</c><00:30:15.759><c> was</c><00:30:15.980><c> that</c><00:30:16.140><c> everything</c><00:30:16.319><c> was</c><00:30:16.900><c> going</c>

00:30:19.740 --> 00:30:23.660
What's<00:30:20.200><c> interesting</c><00:30:20.579><c> here</c><00:30:21.180><c> is</c><00:30:21.740><c> that</c><00:30:21.920><c> there</c><00:30:22.099><c> is</c><00:30:23.039><c> a</c><00:30:23.359><c> scriptural,</c>

00:30:23.660 --> 00:30:26.099

00:30:26.460 --> 00:30:29.700
but<00:30:26.940><c> I'm</c><00:30:27.160><c> just</c><00:30:27.359><c> saying</c><00:30:27.539><c> for</c><00:30:27.779><c> trying</c><00:30:27.940><c> to</c><00:30:28.119><c> get</c><00:30:28.259><c> scriptural</c><00:30:28.759><c> guidance.</c>

00:30:30.180 --> 00:30:34.559

but<00:30:57.079><c> I</c><00:30:57.420><c> can</c><00:30:57.660><c> see</c><00:30:57.759><c> this</c><00:30:57.940><c> is</c><00:30:58.099><c> the</c><00:30:58.200><c> best</c><00:30:58.380><c> way.</c>

00:30:59.019 --> 00:31:01.940
But<00:30:59.279><c> in</c><00:30:59.440><c> either</c><00:30:59.720><c> case,</c><00:31:00.079><c> it's</c><00:31:00.259><c> still</c><00:31:00.500><c> a</c><00:31:00.640><c> majority</c><00:31:01.039><c> rule</c><00:31:01.299><c> situation,</c>

00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.180
which<00:31:02.220><c> again</c><00:31:02.519><c> is</c><00:31:03.140><c> okay.</c>

00:31:05.220 --> 00:31:08.720
So<00:31:05.720><c> they</c><00:31:06.220><c> were</c><00:31:06.579><c> carried</c><00:31:06.779><c> out</c><00:31:07.019><c> in</c><00:31:07.140><c> the</c><00:31:07.299><c> support</c><00:31:07.500><c> of</c><00:31:07.640><c> the</c><00:31:07.740><c> majority.</c>

00:31:09.440 --> 00:31:15.099
Again,<00:31:10.079><c> I</c><00:31:10.079><c> think</c><00:31:10.319><c> it's</c><00:31:10.640><c> interesting</c><00:31:11.119><c> that</c><00:31:13.059><c> even</c><00:31:13.619><c> the</c><00:31:13.880><c> term</c><00:31:14.339><c> used,</c>

00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:17.880
when<00:31:15.640><c> he</c><00:31:15.779><c> talks</c><00:31:16.039><c> about,</c><00:31:16.380><c> we</c><00:31:16.519><c> looked</c><00:31:16.720><c> at</c><00:31:16.839><c> it</c><00:31:16.960><c> earlier</c><00:31:17.200><c> today,</c>

00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:20.619
at<00:31:18.240><c> the</c><00:31:18.299><c> end</c><00:31:18.660><c> of</c><00:31:18.880><c> 2</c><00:31:19.039><c> Corinthians</c><00:31:19.440><c> 8</c><00:31:19.700><c> verse</c><00:31:19.980><c> 18,</c>

00:31:20.920 --> 00:31:24.400
we're<00:31:21.079><c> talking</c><00:31:21.319><c> about</c><00:31:22.279><c> when</c><00:31:23.160><c> there's</c><00:31:23.440><c> now</c><00:31:23.700><c> a</c><00:31:23.900><c> collection</c><00:31:24.099><c> going</c><00:31:24.299><c> to</c>

00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:25.180
be<00:31:24.579><c> taken</c><00:31:24.779><c> up,</c>

00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:28.599
and<00:31:25.579><c> he's</c><00:31:25.880><c> saying,</c><00:31:26.220><c> I'm</c><00:31:26.420><c> sending</c><00:31:26.700><c> Titus</c><00:31:27.039><c> and</c><00:31:27.259><c> another</c><00:31:27.619><c> brother</c><00:31:28.079><c> with</c><00:31:28.380><c> him</c>

00:31:28.599 --> 00:31:30.420
to<00:31:28.779><c> take</c><00:31:28.980><c> up</c><00:31:29.180><c> a</c><00:31:29.420><c> collection</c><00:31:29.759><c> from</c><00:31:30.099><c> you,</c>

00:31:30.579 --> 00:31:32.380
please<00:31:30.880><c> make</c><00:31:31.099><c> sure</c><00:31:31.279><c> you're</c><00:31:31.440><c> ready</c><00:31:31.700><c> for</c><00:31:31.940><c> him.</c>

00:31:32.380 --> 00:31:34.140
And<00:31:32.839><c> so</c><00:31:33.039><c> he</c><00:31:33.119><c> says</c><00:31:33.359><c> in</c><00:31:33.500><c> 8</c><00:31:33.660><c> verse</c><00:31:33.859><c> 18,</c>

00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:36.299
we<00:31:34.259><c> are</c><00:31:34.480><c> sending</c><00:31:34.680><c> along</c><00:31:34.960><c> with</c><00:31:35.140><c> him</c><00:31:35.299><c> the</c><00:31:35.400><c> brother</c><00:31:35.700><c> who</c><00:31:35.799><c> is</c><00:31:36.099><c> praised</c>

00:31:36.299 --> 00:31:38.200
of<00:31:36.500><c> all</c><00:31:36.680><c> the</c><00:31:36.799><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:31:37.119><c> for</c><00:31:37.299><c> his</c><00:31:37.500><c> service</c><00:31:37.680><c> to</c><00:31:37.819><c> the</c><00:31:37.940><c> Gospel,</c>

00:31:38.500 --> 00:31:40.900
what<00:31:38.660><c> is</c><00:31:38.920><c> more,</c><00:31:39.500><c> he</c><00:31:39.539><c> was</c><00:31:39.920><c> chosen.</c>

00:31:40.980 --> 00:31:43.039
Now<00:31:41.059><c> if</c><00:31:41.180><c> you</c><00:31:41.259><c> look</c><00:31:41.420><c> at</c><00:31:41.539><c> that</c><00:31:41.720><c> word</c><00:31:41.920><c> chosen,</c>

00:31:43.140 --> 00:31:45.019
it's<00:31:43.220><c> a</c><00:31:43.660><c> political</c><00:31:44.079><c> term,</c>

00:31:45.720 --> 00:31:47.980
and<00:31:46.119><c> it's</c><00:31:46.519><c> the</c><00:31:46.660><c> word,</c><00:31:46.900><c> you</c><00:31:47.019><c> can</c><00:31:47.200><c> see</c><00:31:47.299><c> it</c><00:31:47.440><c> down</c><00:31:47.559><c> the</c><00:31:47.740><c> bottom,</c>

00:31:48.339 --> 00:31:50.220
the<00:31:48.400><c> word</c><00:31:48.619><c> comes</c><00:31:48.819><c> from</c><00:31:49.000><c> the</c><00:31:49.200><c> hand,</c><00:31:49.720><c> alright?</c>

00:31:50.440 --> 00:31:52.779
And<00:31:50.539><c> it</c><00:31:50.720><c> means</c><00:31:50.859><c> somebody</c><00:31:51.240><c> who</c><00:31:51.680><c> has</c><00:31:51.839><c> been</c><00:31:52.079><c> voted</c><00:31:52.359><c> for.</c>

00:31:53.240 --> 00:31:55.140
And<00:31:53.319><c> it's</c><00:31:53.579><c> the</c><00:31:53.700><c> word</c><00:31:53.839><c> that</c><00:31:53.960><c> was</c><00:31:54.140><c> used</c><00:31:54.339><c> in</c><00:31:54.559><c> Greek</c><00:31:54.720><c> government</c>

00:31:55.140 --> 00:31:57.539
when<00:31:55.339><c> they</c><00:31:55.660><c> cast</c><00:31:55.920><c> a</c><00:31:56.160><c> vote</c><00:31:56.299><c> in</c><00:31:56.480><c> the</c><00:31:56.619><c> democratic</c><00:31:57.019><c> system</c>

00:31:57.539 --> 00:31:59.359
for<00:31:58.000><c> those</c><00:31:58.259><c> who</c><00:31:58.380><c> they</c><00:31:58.599><c> wanted</c><00:31:58.759><c> to</c><00:31:59.019><c> work</c><00:31:59.200><c> with.</c>

00:31:59.640 --> 00:32:01.240
And<00:31:59.779><c> so</c><00:31:59.980><c> again,</c><00:32:00.339><c> it's</c><00:32:00.539><c> the</c><00:32:00.680><c> idea</c><00:32:00.960><c> again,</c>

00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:03.259
and<00:32:01.319><c> it</c><00:32:01.380><c> seems</c><00:32:01.619><c> like</c><00:32:01.839><c> the</c><00:32:01.960><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:32:02.359><c> voted</c><00:32:02.779><c> on</c><00:32:03.019><c> who</c>

00:32:03.259 --> 00:32:04.720
should<00:32:03.539><c> accompany,</c>

00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:09.000
in<00:32:05.559><c> this</c><00:32:05.819><c> case,</c><00:32:07.240><c> brethren</c><00:32:07.440><c> to</c><00:32:07.660><c> go</c><00:32:07.799><c> and</c><00:32:07.940><c> do</c><00:32:08.160><c> follow</c><00:32:08.400><c>-up</c><00:32:08.559><c> work.</c>

00:32:09.380 --> 00:32:11.140
And<00:32:09.380><c> so</c><00:32:09.539><c> we</c><00:32:09.640><c> do</c><00:32:09.960><c> see,</c><00:32:10.160><c> sorry,</c><00:32:10.440><c> just</c><00:32:10.640><c> a</c><00:32:10.720><c> little</c><00:32:10.900><c> aside,</c>

00:32:11.180 --> 00:32:16.079
but<00:32:11.319><c> I</c><00:32:11.480><c> found</c><00:32:11.619><c> that</c><00:32:11.839><c> helpful</c><00:32:12.180><c> to</c><00:32:12.420><c> me</c><00:32:13.099><c> that</c><00:32:14.319><c> they</c><00:32:14.740><c> would</c><00:32:14.920><c> do</c><00:32:15.180><c> that.</c>

00:32:16.500 --> 00:32:21.680
And<00:32:16.640><c> so</c><00:32:17.079><c> I've</c><00:32:17.759><c> been</c><00:32:17.900><c> having</c><00:32:18.099><c> classes</c><00:32:18.480><c> with</c><00:32:18.839><c> a</c><00:32:19.079><c> young</c><00:32:20.019><c> man</c><00:32:20.420><c> who</c><00:32:20.940><c> says,</c>

00:32:22.200 --> 00:32:23.579
I<00:32:22.460><c> wish</c><00:32:22.640><c> I</c><00:32:22.779><c> could</c><00:32:22.859><c> quote</c><00:32:23.019><c> him</c><00:32:23.259><c> correctly,</c>

00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:25.000
but<00:32:23.940><c> he</c><00:32:24.079><c> says</c><00:32:24.200><c> something</c><00:32:24.500><c> like,</c>

00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:29.480
for<00:32:25.640><c> a</c><00:32:25.940><c> group</c><00:32:26.119><c> who</c><00:32:26.299><c> don't</c><00:32:27.440><c> vote,</c><00:32:28.000><c> you</c><00:32:28.180><c> sure</c><00:32:28.339><c> vote</c><00:32:28.559><c> a</c><00:32:28.720><c> lot.</c>

00:32:31.059 --> 00:32:34.039
And<00:32:31.460><c> it</c><00:32:31.859><c> was</c><00:32:32.059><c> interesting</c><00:32:32.539><c> because</c><00:32:32.880><c> he's</c><00:32:33.140><c> been</c><00:32:33.500><c> with</c><00:32:33.700><c> us</c><00:32:33.799><c> for</c>

00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:35.079
quite<00:32:34.240><c> some</c><00:32:34.500><c> years</c><00:32:34.799><c> now</c>

00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:36.819
and<00:32:35.200><c> he</c><00:32:35.319><c> comes</c><00:32:35.519><c> to</c><00:32:35.759><c> all</c><00:32:35.920><c> our</c><00:32:36.059><c> meetings</c><00:32:36.380><c> and</c><00:32:36.579><c> everything,</c>

00:32:37.039 --> 00:32:38.480
and<00:32:37.299><c> I</c><00:32:37.579><c> thought</c><00:32:37.700><c> that</c><00:32:37.859><c> was</c><00:32:38.000><c> really</c><00:32:38.319><c> true,</c>

00:32:38.500 --> 00:32:41.319
and<00:32:38.660><c> it</c><00:32:38.799><c> kind</c><00:32:38.900><c> of</c><00:32:39.359><c> struck</c><00:32:39.599><c> me,</c><00:32:39.819><c> well</c><00:32:39.940><c> maybe</c><00:32:40.200><c> we're</c><00:32:40.460><c> off</c><00:32:41.160><c> the</c>

00:32:41.319 --> 00:32:41.779
beam<00:32:41.519><c> here,</c>

00:32:41.799 --> 00:32:42.880
maybe<00:32:42.059><c> there</c><00:32:42.220><c> is</c><00:32:42.380><c> a</c><00:32:42.480><c> better</c><00:32:42.619><c> way.</c>

00:32:43.220 --> 00:32:45.099
So<00:32:43.519><c> finally</c><00:32:43.819><c> in</c><00:32:44.079><c> following</c><00:32:44.279><c> through</c><00:32:44.579><c> this</c><00:32:44.819><c> thought,</c>

00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:48.140
maybe<00:32:45.380><c> I</c><00:32:45.460><c> can</c><00:32:45.660><c> just</c><00:32:45.900><c> share,</c><00:32:46.099><c> whoops</c><00:32:46.319><c> if</c><00:32:46.480><c> I</c><00:32:46.539><c> can</c><00:32:46.700><c> find</c><00:32:46.839><c> it</c><00:32:47.000><c> here,</c>

00:32:48.519 --> 00:32:50.420
share<00:32:48.759><c> this</c><00:32:49.019><c> with</c><00:32:49.240><c> you.</c>

00:32:51.579 --> 00:32:52.960
If<00:32:51.700><c> you'd</c><00:32:51.920><c> like</c><00:32:51.940><c> to</c><00:32:52.099><c> maybe</c><00:32:52.259><c> just</c><00:32:52.539><c> flip</c><00:32:52.720><c> back,</c>

00:32:53.140 --> 00:32:54.160
keep<00:32:53.140><c> your</c><00:32:53.339><c> finger</c><00:32:53.519><c> in</c><00:32:53.680><c> second</c><00:32:53.859><c> Corinthians,</c>

00:32:54.240 --> 00:32:55.460
I<00:32:54.359><c> don't</c><00:32:54.460><c> want</c><00:32:54.579><c> to</c><00:32:54.680><c> spend</c><00:32:54.819><c> too</c><00:32:55.059><c> long</c><00:32:55.200><c> on</c><00:32:55.359><c> this,</c>

00:32:55.460 --> 00:32:57.359
but<00:32:55.599><c> again,</c><00:32:56.000><c> just</c><00:32:56.180><c> to</c><00:32:56.319><c> finish</c><00:32:56.559><c> our</c><00:32:56.779><c> thought</c><00:32:56.980><c> here</c><00:32:57.200><c> about</c>

00:32:57.359 --> 00:32:59.859
making<00:32:57.779><c> first</c><00:32:58.240><c> century</c><00:32:58.660><c> decisions,</c>

00:33:00.099 --> 00:33:04.960
in<00:33:00.119><c> Acts</c><00:33:00.460><c> chapter</c><00:33:00.819><c> 1,</c><00:33:01.680><c> you</c><00:33:01.680><c> know</c><00:33:02.059><c> that</c><00:33:02.220><c> they</c><00:33:02.380><c> had</c><00:33:02.640><c> to</c><00:33:02.880><c> choose</c><00:33:03.839><c> somebody</c>

00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:08.500
to<00:33:05.299><c> follow</c><00:33:05.599><c> on</c><00:33:05.839><c> from</c><00:33:06.099><c> Judas</c><00:33:06.400><c> who</c><00:33:06.619><c> committed</c><00:33:06.980><c> suicide,</c><00:33:07.519><c> right?</c>

00:33:08.779 --> 00:33:11.240
And<00:33:08.900><c> the</c><00:33:09.039><c> problem</c><00:33:09.279><c> was</c><00:33:09.500><c> again,</c><00:33:09.960><c> the</c><00:33:10.380><c> part</c><00:33:10.559><c> that</c><00:33:10.700><c> I</c><00:33:10.940><c> remembered</c>

00:33:11.240 --> 00:33:12.299
was<00:33:11.480><c> they</c><00:33:11.720><c> casted</c><00:33:12.259><c> Lot,</c>

00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:13.420
and<00:33:12.559><c> Matthias</c><00:33:12.940><c> was</c><00:33:13.180><c> chosen.</c>

00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:19.240
So<00:33:13.640><c> obviously</c><00:33:14.160><c> Lot's</c><00:33:18.220><c> is</c><00:33:18.279><c> the</c><00:33:18.359><c> right</c><00:33:18.519><c> way</c><00:33:18.720><c> to</c><00:33:18.920><c> go,</c>

00:33:19.660 --> 00:33:21.079
because<00:33:19.740><c> that's</c><00:33:20.000><c> what</c><00:33:20.180><c> the</c><00:33:20.339><c> first</c><00:33:20.500><c> century</c><00:33:20.819><c> did.</c>

00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:23.339
But<00:33:21.759><c> when</c><00:33:22.019><c> we</c><00:33:22.140><c> look</c><00:33:22.259><c> a</c><00:33:22.339><c> little</c><00:33:22.539><c> bit</c><00:33:22.640><c> more</c><00:33:22.900><c> carefully,</c>

00:33:23.339 --> 00:33:25.240
look<00:33:23.859><c> at</c><00:33:24.039><c> the</c><00:33:24.180><c> process.</c>

00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:28.180
First<00:33:25.400><c> of</c><00:33:25.599><c> all,</c><00:33:26.079><c> there</c><00:33:26.079><c> had</c><00:33:26.240><c> to</c><00:33:26.339><c> be</c><00:33:26.480><c> somebody</c><00:33:26.799><c> who</c><00:33:26.940><c> was</c><00:33:27.240><c> qualified</c><00:33:27.799><c> for</c>

00:33:28.180 --> 00:33:28.740
the<00:33:28.380><c> position.</c>

00:33:29.099 --> 00:33:30.339
Again,<00:33:29.559><c> as</c><00:33:29.660><c> brethren</c><00:33:29.859><c> and</c><00:33:30.019><c> sisters</c><00:33:30.140><c> says,</c>

00:33:30.500 --> 00:33:33.660
we<00:33:30.500><c> do</c><00:33:30.740><c> have</c><00:33:30.940><c> to</c><00:33:31.140><c> choose</c><00:33:31.680><c> for</c><00:33:32.680><c> ecclesial</c><00:33:33.160><c> surface,</c>

00:33:33.779 --> 00:33:35.880
I<00:33:33.900><c> think</c><00:33:34.000><c> it's</c><00:33:34.180><c> a</c><00:33:34.359><c> good</c><00:33:34.799><c> principle</c><00:33:35.220><c> involved</c><00:33:35.680><c> here.</c>

00:33:36.140 --> 00:33:38.680
He<00:33:36.220><c> had</c><00:33:36.400><c> to</c><00:33:36.559><c> be</c><00:33:36.839><c> in</c><00:33:36.940><c> verse</c><00:33:37.119><c> 21</c><00:33:37.440><c> all</c><00:33:37.779><c> the</c><00:33:37.920><c> time</c><00:33:38.079><c> the</c><00:33:38.180><c> Lord</c><00:33:38.400><c> ministers,</c>

00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:39.619
he<00:33:38.859><c> had</c><00:33:39.019><c> to</c><00:33:39.180><c> be</c><00:33:39.359><c> there.</c>

00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:41.940
In<00:33:40.000><c> verse</c><00:33:40.220><c> 22,</c><00:33:41.119><c> we're</c><00:33:41.339><c> told</c><00:33:41.460><c> specifically,</c>

00:33:41.940 --> 00:33:44.339
that<00:33:42.079><c> means</c><00:33:42.259><c> from</c><00:33:42.619><c> John</c><00:33:43.000><c> until,</c><00:33:43.819><c> alright,</c>

00:33:44.619 --> 00:33:46.140

00:33:46.240 --> 00:33:48.720
I<00:33:46.380><c> mean</c><00:33:46.500><c> it</c><00:33:46.519><c> was</c><00:33:46.680><c> a</c><00:33:47.299><c> very</c><00:33:47.599><c> specific</c><00:33:48.200><c> criteria.</c>

00:33:49.079 --> 00:33:51.619
This<00:33:49.319><c> person</c><00:33:49.680><c> had</c><00:33:49.880><c> to</c><00:33:50.039><c> have</c><00:33:50.099><c> been</c><00:33:50.319><c> involved</c><00:33:50.779><c> soup</c><00:33:51.160><c> to</c><00:33:51.380><c> nuts,</c>

00:33:51.619 --> 00:33:54.299
or<00:33:52.240><c> whatever</c><00:33:52.500><c> you</c><00:33:52.759><c> say,</c><00:33:53.079><c> soup</c><00:33:53.220><c> to</c><00:33:53.400><c> dessert.</c>

00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:59.559
And<00:33:55.119><c> then</c><00:33:56.099><c> out</c><00:33:57.940><c> of</c><00:33:58.140><c> that,</c><00:33:58.559><c> there</c><00:33:58.619><c> were</c><00:33:58.740><c> two</c><00:33:58.920><c> left,</c>

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:01.539
and<00:34:00.200><c> they</c><00:34:00.380><c> made</c><00:34:00.839><c> an</c><00:34:01.200><c> appointment.</c>

00:34:01.720 --> 00:34:03.559
And<00:34:01.880><c> again,</c><00:34:02.200><c> appointed</c><00:34:02.539><c> positions</c><00:34:03.039><c> are</c><00:34:03.299><c> what?</c>

00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:06.420
A<00:34:04.160><c> decision</c><00:34:04.500><c> made</c><00:34:04.720><c> by</c><00:34:04.920><c> the</c><00:34:05.079><c> community,</c><00:34:05.500><c> alright?</c>

00:34:06.799 --> 00:34:08.000
But<00:34:07.039><c> they</c><00:34:07.200><c> were</c><00:34:07.460><c> stuck</c><00:34:07.700><c> now.</c>

00:34:08.139 --> 00:34:12.360
This<00:34:08.400><c> is</c><00:34:08.639><c> where</c><00:34:08.820><c> they</c><00:34:09.199><c> finally</c><00:34:09.880><c> ended</c><00:34:10.360><c> up</c><00:34:10.880><c> with</c><00:34:11.219><c> an</c><00:34:11.460><c> impasse.</c>

00:34:12.579 --> 00:34:15.460
And<00:34:12.739><c> so</c><00:34:12.840><c> at</c><00:34:13.159><c> that</c><00:34:13.519><c> point,</c><00:34:14.340><c> then,</c>

00:34:15.559 --> 00:34:18.800
and<00:34:15.820><c> this</c><00:34:15.980><c> is</c><00:34:16.159><c> the</c><00:34:16.300><c> part</c><00:34:16.460><c> where</c><00:34:16.639><c> I</c><00:34:16.840><c> believe</c><00:34:17.119><c> now</c><00:34:17.519><c> we</c><00:34:17.940><c> can</c><00:34:18.559><c> throw</c>

00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:27.940
is<00:34:24.179><c> now</c><00:34:24.440><c> the</c><00:34:24.699><c> point</c><00:34:24.900><c> is</c><00:34:25.059><c> they</c><00:34:25.380><c> put</c><00:34:25.679><c> those</c><00:34:26.039><c> ecclesial</c><00:34:26.579><c> decisions</c><00:34:27.159><c> to</c><00:34:27.579><c> prayer,</c>

00:34:30.059 --> 00:34:32.719

00:34:33.219 --> 00:34:36.139
And<00:34:33.320><c> I</c><00:34:33.360><c> think</c><00:34:33.519><c> as</c><00:34:33.780><c> a</c><00:34:33.880><c> very</c><00:34:34.260><c> lovely</c><00:34:34.800><c> lesson</c><00:34:35.119><c> is</c><00:34:35.239><c> how</c><00:34:35.420><c> we</c><00:34:35.599><c> could</c><00:34:35.780><c> maybe,</c>

00:34:41.019 --> 00:34:43.699
And<00:34:41.260><c> then</c><00:34:41.420><c> they</c><00:34:41.920><c> say</c><00:34:42.019><c> they</c><00:34:42.239><c> cast</c><00:34:42.440><c> the</c><00:34:42.599><c> lots</c><00:34:42.699><c> and</c><00:34:42.860><c> Matthias</c><00:34:43.199><c> was</c><00:34:43.420><c> accepted.</c>

I<00:34:43.880><c> hope</c><00:34:43.960><c> that's</c><00:34:44.280><c> helpful.</c>

00:34:44.780 --> 00:34:47.159
Sorry,<00:34:45.199><c> I</c><00:34:45.300><c> don't</c><00:34:45.380><c> want</c><00:34:45.559><c> to</c><00:34:46.400><c> sidetrack</c><00:34:46.800><c> too</c><00:34:47.039><c> much,</c>

The<00:35:10.519><c> other</c><00:35:10.900><c> part</c><00:35:11.480><c> is</c><00:35:12.239><c> the</c><00:35:12.920><c> challenge</c><00:35:13.280><c> for</c><00:35:13.619><c> us</c>

00:35:35.059 --> 00:35:36.699
And<00:35:35.239><c> the</c><00:35:35.440><c> Ecclesia</c><00:35:35.780><c> decides</c><00:35:36.159><c> like</c><00:35:36.400><c> they</c><00:35:36.579><c> did,</c>

the<00:35:36.880><c> majority</c><00:35:37.260><c> here</c><00:35:37.599><c> decided</c><00:35:37.940><c> to</c><00:35:38.139><c> deal</c><00:35:38.420><c> with</c><00:35:38.659><c> the</c><00:35:38.900><c> problem</c>

00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:41.159
with<00:35:39.880><c> this</c><00:35:40.280><c> brother.</c>

00:35:41.780 --> 00:35:43.500
And<00:35:42.059><c> you</c><00:35:42.159><c> know</c><00:35:42.360><c> how</c><00:35:42.679><c> damaging</c><00:35:43.019><c> it</c><00:35:43.219><c> is</c>

00:35:43.500 --> 00:35:46.219
when<00:35:43.719><c> somebody</c><00:35:44.159><c> who</c><00:35:44.460><c> felt</c><00:35:44.659><c> the</c><00:35:44.840><c> other</c><00:35:45.000><c> way</c><00:35:45.179><c> then</c><00:35:45.380><c> continues</c>

00:35:46.219 --> 00:35:47.139
to<00:35:46.760><c> stir</c>

00:35:47.139 --> 00:35:49.400
under<00:35:47.699><c> the</c><00:35:48.000><c> scene</c><00:35:48.159><c> and</c><00:35:48.400><c> try</c><00:35:48.599><c> and</c><00:35:48.820><c> draw</c><00:35:49.039><c> her</c><00:35:49.199><c> away</c>

00:35:49.400 --> 00:35:51.920
and<00:35:49.599><c> drag</c><00:35:49.900><c> down</c><00:35:50.139><c> the</c><00:35:50.320><c> Ecclesia,</c><00:35:50.719><c> it</c><00:35:50.840><c> brings</c><00:35:51.079><c> them</c><00:35:51.260><c> to</c><00:35:51.440><c> their</c><00:35:51.619><c> knees.</c>

00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:53.960
And<00:35:52.360><c> I've</c><00:35:52.619><c> heard</c><00:35:52.800><c> brother</c><00:35:53.039><c> and</c><00:35:53.199><c> say,</c>

00:35:54.039 --> 00:35:55.340
well,<00:35:54.099><c> I'm</c><00:35:54.400><c> never</c><00:35:54.579><c> going</c><00:35:54.739><c> to</c><00:35:54.840><c> agree</c><00:35:55.000><c> with</c><00:35:55.179><c> that</c>

00:35:55.340 --> 00:35:57.159
because<00:35:55.519><c> it's</c><00:35:55.739><c> the</c><00:35:55.920><c> principle</c><00:35:56.159><c> of</c><00:35:56.400><c> the</c><00:35:56.480><c> thing.</c>

00:35:57.559 --> 00:36:00.119
And<00:35:57.559><c> I</c><00:35:57.840><c> think</c><00:35:57.940><c> it</c><00:35:58.000><c> was</c><00:35:58.119><c> brother</c><00:35:58.300><c> Harry</c><00:35:58.619><c> Tennant</c><00:35:58.880><c> who</c><00:35:59.139><c> said,</c>

00:36:00.400 --> 00:36:03.860
beware<00:36:00.840><c> when</c><00:36:01.280><c> you</c><00:36:01.480><c> are</c><00:36:01.699><c> standing</c><00:36:02.099><c> on</c><00:36:02.500><c> your</c><00:36:02.800><c> principle.</c>

00:36:04.420 --> 00:36:06.900
You<00:36:04.579><c> may</c><00:36:04.880><c> just</c><00:36:05.079><c> be</c><00:36:05.360><c> standing</c><00:36:05.579><c> on</c><00:36:05.760><c> your</c><00:36:06.000><c> pride.</c>

00:36:07.019 --> 00:36:08.780
And<00:36:07.300><c> I</c><00:36:07.500><c> think</c><00:36:07.619><c> that</c><00:36:07.780><c> is</c><00:36:08.019><c> so</c><00:36:08.300><c> often</c><00:36:08.460><c> the</c><00:36:08.659><c> case.</c>

00:36:08.860 --> 00:36:10.019
What<00:36:08.980><c> is</c><00:36:09.139><c> the</c><00:36:09.360><c> real</c><00:36:09.639><c> principle?</c>

00:36:10.139 --> 00:36:11.360
Is<00:36:10.219><c> it</c><00:36:10.400><c> submission?</c>

00:36:11.380 --> 00:36:14.360
Because<00:36:11.860><c> God</c><00:36:12.199><c> can</c><00:36:12.480><c> work</c><00:36:12.639><c> miracles</c><00:36:13.039><c> when</c><00:36:13.239><c> we</c><00:36:13.440><c> work</c><00:36:13.699><c> with</c><00:36:14.039><c> Him</c>

00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:15.860
and<00:36:14.679><c> work</c><00:36:15.000><c> for</c><00:36:15.159><c> the</c><00:36:15.280><c> good</c><00:36:15.360><c> of</c><00:36:15.500><c> the</c><00:36:15.619><c> body.</c>

00:36:16.300 --> 00:36:17.980
So,<00:36:16.719><c> back</c><00:36:16.920><c> to</c><00:36:17.059><c> the</c><00:36:17.139><c> reinstatement</c><00:36:17.559><c> of</c><00:36:17.699><c> the</c><00:36:17.820><c> Shinnah,</c>

00:36:18.019 --> 00:36:20.360
back<00:36:18.199><c> in</c><00:36:18.400><c> 2</c><00:36:18.579><c> Corinthians</c><00:36:18.940><c> chapter</c><00:36:19.260><c> 6.</c>

00:36:28.820 --> 00:36:31.579
We<00:36:28.820><c> have</c><00:36:29.099><c> these</c><00:36:29.320><c> horrible</c><00:36:29.679><c> choices</c><00:36:30.079><c> that</c><00:36:30.280><c> have</c><00:36:30.320><c> got</c><00:36:30.400><c> to</c><00:36:30.519><c> be</c><00:36:30.679><c> made.</c>

00:36:31.780 --> 00:36:35.679
The<00:36:31.900><c> word</c><00:36:32.119><c> punishment</c><00:36:32.659><c> is</c><00:36:33.179><c> the</c><00:36:33.340><c> idea</c><00:36:33.519><c> of</c><00:36:33.739><c> removal</c><00:36:33.980><c> of</c><00:36:34.199><c> citizens'</c><00:36:34.699><c> rights,</c>

00:36:36.059 --> 00:36:37.880
the<00:36:36.500><c> punishment</c><00:36:36.880><c> of</c><00:36:37.079><c> many.</c>

00:36:38.019 --> 00:36:40.079
And<00:36:38.360><c> again,</c><00:36:38.679><c> we</c><00:36:39.079><c> know</c><00:36:39.400><c> about</c><00:36:39.840><c> that.</c>

00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:41.519
He<00:36:40.199><c> repented</c><00:36:40.699><c> and</c><00:36:40.840><c> came</c><00:36:41.139><c> back.</c>

00:36:41.760 --> 00:36:43.659
Then<00:36:41.780><c> in</c><00:36:42.039><c> verse</c><00:36:42.219><c> 8,</c><00:36:43.119><c> now</c><00:36:43.119><c> he</c><00:36:43.300><c> says,</c>

00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:46.699
the<00:36:44.179><c> challenge</c><00:36:44.619><c> is</c><00:36:44.840><c> now,</c><00:36:45.099><c> as</c><00:36:45.199><c> it</c><00:36:45.340><c> says</c><00:36:45.460><c> in</c><00:36:45.619><c> verse</c><00:36:45.860><c> 8,</c>

00:36:46.900 --> 00:36:50.159
to<00:36:47.139><c> confirm</c><00:36:47.940><c> your</c><00:36:48.400><c> love</c><00:36:48.800><c> to</c><00:36:49.139><c> the</c><00:36:49.380><c> repentant</c><00:36:49.900><c> sinner.</c>

00:36:50.480 --> 00:36:51.679
And<00:36:50.539><c> again,</c><00:36:50.800><c> how</c><00:36:51.039><c> hard</c><00:36:51.300><c> that</c><00:36:51.519><c> is.</c>

00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:56.400
When<00:36:51.840><c> somebody</c><00:36:52.159><c> has</c><00:36:52.480><c> hurt</c><00:36:52.599><c> us</c><00:36:52.920><c> grievously</c><00:36:53.960><c> to</c><00:36:55.280><c> confirm</c><00:36:55.820><c> our</c><00:36:56.159><c> love.</c>

00:36:56.500 --> 00:36:59.980
When<00:36:56.619><c> we</c><00:36:56.820><c> see</c><00:36:56.960><c> that</c><00:36:57.300><c> first</c><00:36:57.599><c> little</c><00:36:58.000><c> inkling</c><00:36:58.500><c> of</c><00:36:58.699><c> a</c><00:36:58.980><c> change</c>

00:37:02.739 --> 00:37:03.579
And<00:37:02.840><c> how</c><00:37:02.960><c> do</c><00:37:03.059><c> you</c><00:37:03.079><c> do</c><00:37:03.260><c> that?</c>

00:37:03.719 --> 00:37:04.500
Do<00:37:03.880><c> you</c><00:37:03.980><c> write</c><00:37:04.199><c> them?</c>

00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:05.579
Do<00:37:04.739><c> you</c><00:37:04.880><c> embrace</c><00:37:05.219><c> them?</c>

00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:07.699
Do<00:37:06.139><c> you</c><00:37:06.320><c> just</c><00:37:06.480><c> go</c><00:37:06.599><c> up</c><00:37:06.780><c> and</c><00:37:06.960><c> shake</c><00:37:07.119><c> hands</c><00:37:07.400><c> again?</c>

It's<00:37:09.860><c> been</c><00:37:10.099><c> suggested</c><00:37:10.699><c> that</c><00:37:11.400><c> it</c><00:37:11.659><c> actually,</c>

00:37:27.699 --> 00:37:30.320
And<00:37:27.900><c> so,</c><00:37:28.539><c> they</c><00:37:28.880><c> finally</c><00:37:29.360><c> let</c><00:37:29.599><c> Him</c><00:37:29.780><c> back.</c>

in<00:37:43.719><c> dealing</c><00:37:44.059><c> with</c><00:37:44.539><c> ecclesial</c><00:37:45.079><c> problems,</c>

between<00:37:46.820><c> thinking</c><00:37:47.500><c> and</c><00:37:48.440><c> feeling.</c>

00:37:50.940 --> 00:37:52.880
The<00:37:51.420><c> worldliness</c><00:37:51.940><c> of</c><00:37:52.119><c> the</c><00:37:52.300><c> last</c><00:37:52.619><c> days</c>

00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:54.860
pushes<00:37:53.239><c> in</c><00:37:53.539><c> so</c><00:37:53.860><c> hard</c><00:37:54.099><c> amongst</c><00:37:54.480><c> us,</c>

00:37:54.940 --> 00:37:57.380
I<00:37:55.079><c> think</c><00:37:55.280><c> these</c><00:37:55.619><c> principles</c><00:37:56.059><c> that</c><00:37:56.340><c> Paul</c><00:37:56.480><c> gives</c><00:37:56.760><c> us</c>

00:37:57.380 --> 00:38:01.599
can<00:37:58.059><c> help</c><00:37:58.380><c> us</c><00:37:58.659><c> tremendously</c><00:37:59.480><c> in</c><00:37:59.940><c> building</c><00:38:00.360><c> up</c><00:38:00.699><c> the</c><00:38:00.900><c> body,</c>

00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:04.000
because<00:38:02.119><c> the</c><00:38:02.440><c> body</c><00:38:02.760><c> often</c><00:38:03.119><c> is</c><00:38:03.219><c> not</c><00:38:03.440><c> the</c><00:38:03.719><c> act,</c>

00:38:04.099 --> 00:38:06.420
it's<00:38:04.320><c> our</c><00:38:04.559><c> response</c><00:38:05.179><c> to</c><00:38:05.440><c> that</c><00:38:05.699><c> thing</c><00:38:05.960><c> that</c><00:38:06.260><c> happened,</c>

00:38:06.440 --> 00:38:07.780
which<00:38:06.599><c> is</c><00:38:06.840><c> really</c><00:38:07.260><c> important,</c>

00:38:07.780 --> 00:38:09.440
and<00:38:07.940><c> that's</c><00:38:08.079><c> what's</c><00:38:08.300><c> important</c><00:38:08.639><c> here,</c><00:38:08.960><c> isn't</c><00:38:09.099><c> it?</c>

00:38:09.539 --> 00:38:12.079
It's<00:38:09.820><c> their</c><00:38:10.079><c> response</c><00:38:10.900><c> to</c><00:38:11.400><c> that</c><00:38:11.719><c> sin</c>

00:38:12.079 --> 00:38:14.480
that<00:38:12.880><c> really</c><00:38:13.539><c> was</c><00:38:13.940><c> important,</c>

00:38:14.699 --> 00:38:18.659
that<00:38:14.760><c> finally</c><00:38:15.340><c> allowed</c><00:38:15.659><c> that</c><00:38:15.940><c> body</c><00:38:16.219><c> to</c><00:38:16.500><c> be</c><00:38:17.039><c> built</c><00:38:18.159><c> up</c><00:38:18.420><c> again.</c>

00:38:19.000 --> 00:38:20.280
So,<00:38:19.239><c> Paul's</c><00:38:19.659><c> approach</c><00:38:19.900><c> here,</c><00:38:20.079><c> I</c><00:38:20.079><c> think,</c>

00:38:20.420 --> 00:38:23.380
teaches<00:38:20.639><c> us</c><00:38:20.920><c> the</c><00:38:21.139><c> balance</c><00:38:21.800><c> of</c><00:38:22.900><c> discipline.</c>

00:38:23.880 --> 00:38:25.659
It's<00:38:24.440><c> so</c><00:38:24.599><c> easy</c><00:38:24.739><c> to</c><00:38:24.920><c> be</c><00:38:25.280><c> cynical,</c>

00:38:25.659 --> 00:38:28.000
and,<00:38:25.760><c> you</c><00:38:25.880><c> know,</c><00:38:26.320><c> please</c><00:38:26.659><c> never</c><00:38:27.000><c> be</c><00:38:27.199><c> known</c><00:38:27.440><c> as</c><00:38:27.860><c> a,</c>

00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:28.800
what<00:38:28.159><c> is</c><00:38:28.340><c> that</c><00:38:28.519><c> other</c><00:38:28.639><c> word?</c>

00:38:29.260 --> 00:38:30.420

00:38:32.719 --> 00:38:35.159
I<00:38:32.880><c> think</c><00:38:32.980><c> that's</c><00:38:33.139><c> just</c><00:38:33.380><c> the</c><00:38:33.500><c> most</c><00:38:33.900><c> terrible,</c>

00:38:35.739 --> 00:38:37.559
terrible<00:38:36.139><c> condemnation</c><00:38:36.539><c> that</c><00:38:36.659><c> we</c><00:38:36.760><c> can</c><00:38:36.900><c> make</c><00:38:37.039><c> of</c><00:38:37.199><c> ourselves,</c>

00:38:38.019 --> 00:38:40.000

00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:41.800
Love<00:38:40.639><c> believes</c><00:38:41.119><c> all</c><00:38:41.460><c> things,</c>

00:38:42.219 --> 00:38:43.900

00:38:43.940 --> 00:38:44.639
How<00:38:44.099><c> can</c><00:38:44.199><c> we</c><00:38:44.340><c> often,</c>

00:38:44.860 --> 00:38:47.440

00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:50.960
when<00:38:47.980><c> the</c><00:38:48.360><c> spirit</c><00:38:48.559><c> of</c><00:38:48.920><c> true,</c><00:38:50.039><c> superabundant</c><00:38:50.719><c> love</c>

And<00:39:03.179><c> so,</c><00:39:05.380><c> finally</c><00:39:05.739><c> then,</c>

00:39:08.019 --> 00:39:11.260
how<00:39:08.239><c> did</c><00:39:08.480><c> Paul</c><00:39:08.960><c> keep</c><00:39:10.239><c> that</c><00:39:10.739><c> perspective?</c>

Anyway,<00:41:23.239><c> there's</c><00:41:23.420><c> a</c><00:41:23.559><c> word.</c>

00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:26.920
What<00:41:24.920><c> happens</c><00:41:25.380><c> is</c><00:41:25.840><c> that</c><00:41:26.039><c> we</c><00:41:26.179><c> all</c><00:41:26.420><c> have</c>

00:41:29.039 --> 00:41:31.460
We<00:41:29.099><c> have</c><00:41:29.539><c> pressures</c><00:41:29.940><c> of</c><00:41:30.179><c> life,</c><00:41:30.559><c> doesn't</c><00:41:30.719><c> it?</c>

00:41:31.920 --> 00:41:34.980
But<00:41:32.219><c> what</c><00:41:32.679><c> I</c><00:41:32.880><c> believe</c><00:41:33.420><c> the</c><00:41:33.760><c> Apostle</c><00:41:34.179><c> Paul</c><00:41:34.480><c> shows</c><00:41:34.780><c> us</c>

00:41:34.980 --> 00:41:37.980
is<00:41:35.239><c> that</c><00:41:35.500><c> when</c><00:41:35.719><c> we</c><00:41:35.960><c> realize</c><00:41:36.300><c> that</c><00:41:36.559><c> God</c><00:41:36.920><c> is</c><00:41:37.179><c> on</c><00:41:37.440><c> our</c><00:41:37.780><c> side</c>

00:41:40.300 --> 00:41:43.059
it<00:41:40.440><c> helps</c><00:41:40.800><c> us</c><00:41:41.059><c> to</c><00:41:41.239><c> now</c><00:41:41.619><c> put</c><00:41:41.900><c> that</c><00:41:42.260><c> negative</c><00:41:42.619><c> experience</c>

That<00:41:47.360><c> these</c><00:41:47.659><c> things</c><00:41:47.880><c> are</c><00:41:48.099><c> for</c><00:41:48.219><c> our</c><00:41:48.420><c> good.</c>

00:41:48.920 --> 00:41:51.400
And<00:41:49.019><c> what</c><00:41:49.539><c> science</c><00:41:49.920><c> has</c><00:41:50.079><c> now</c><00:41:50.239><c> said</c><00:41:50.400><c> is</c><00:41:50.619><c> cognitive</c><00:41:51.079><c> treatment,</c>

00:41:57.940 --> 00:41:59.739
is<00:41:58.099><c> the</c><00:41:58.440><c> best</c><00:41:58.719><c> way</c><00:41:59.139><c> to</c><00:41:59.440><c> treat</c><00:41:59.599><c> it.</c>

00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:01.179
Yes,<00:42:00.019><c> they</c><00:42:00.179><c> may</c><00:42:00.340><c> put</c><00:42:00.500><c> them</c><00:42:00.659><c> on</c><00:42:00.860><c> Prozac</c>

00:42:02.960 --> 00:42:04.980
but<00:42:03.099><c> after</c><00:42:03.440><c> that</c><00:42:03.719><c> it's</c><00:42:04.019><c> not</c><00:42:04.179><c> going</c><00:42:04.300><c> to</c><00:42:04.380><c> do</c><00:42:04.480><c> any</c><00:42:04.679><c> good.</c>

00:42:05.179 --> 00:42:06.320
You're<00:42:05.500><c> going</c><00:42:05.559><c> to</c><00:42:05.679><c> become</c><00:42:05.860><c> addicted.</c>

00:42:06.780 --> 00:42:09.099
But<00:42:07.039><c> what</c><00:42:07.440><c> works</c><00:42:07.780><c> is</c><00:42:07.980><c> to</c><00:42:08.219><c> learn</c><00:42:08.420><c> when</c><00:42:08.760><c> we</c><00:42:08.960><c> have</c>

00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:24.860
Now<00:42:23.260><c> let's</c><00:42:23.440><c> have</c><00:42:23.639><c> a</c><00:42:23.699><c> look</c><00:42:23.840><c> at</c><00:42:24.039><c> what</c><00:42:24.440><c> Paul</c><00:42:24.659><c> does,</c>

00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:26.780
because<00:42:25.000><c> he</c><00:42:25.179><c> has</c><00:42:25.360><c> the</c><00:42:25.500><c> most</c><00:42:25.780><c> incredible</c><00:42:26.400><c> reason</c>

00:42:26.780 --> 00:42:28.059
to<00:42:26.900><c> be</c><00:42:27.079><c> depressed.</c>

00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:30.860
He<00:42:28.739><c> is</c><00:42:29.099><c> troubled,</c><00:42:29.480><c> and</c><00:42:29.679><c> that</c><00:42:29.860><c> word</c><00:42:30.019><c> there,</c>

00:42:30.980 --> 00:42:32.300
that's<00:42:31.380><c> the</c><00:42:31.480><c> Corinthian's</c><00:42:32.079><c> word.</c>

00:42:32.599 --> 00:42:35.780
And<00:42:32.780><c> it</c><00:42:32.840><c> has</c><00:42:33.039><c> the</c><00:42:33.199><c> idea</c><00:42:33.440><c> of</c><00:42:33.619><c> being</c><00:42:34.039><c> squished,</c><00:42:35.059><c> pressured.</c>

00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:40.639
And<00:42:36.739><c> so</c><00:42:37.039><c> that's</c><00:42:38.000><c> the</c><00:42:38.960><c> literal</c><00:42:39.840><c> language</c><00:42:40.119><c> to</c><00:42:40.380><c> crowd</c>

00:42:40.639 --> 00:42:44.159
or<00:42:40.880><c> to</c><00:42:41.179><c> afflict,</c><00:42:42.099><c> and</c><00:42:42.239><c> it's</c><00:42:42.480><c> to</c><00:42:42.860><c> press</c><00:42:43.260><c> down</c><00:42:43.659><c> on</c><00:42:43.920><c> something.</c>

00:42:44.500 --> 00:42:46.619
And<00:42:44.719><c> we've</c><00:42:44.880><c> all</c><00:42:45.019><c> felt</c><00:42:45.159><c> like</c><00:42:45.400><c> that,</c><00:42:45.599><c> haven't</c><00:42:45.699><c> we?</c>

00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:48.699
Because<00:42:47.519><c> we</c><00:42:47.719><c> are</c><00:42:48.059><c> pressed</c><00:42:48.340><c> in.</c>

00:42:49.099 --> 00:42:50.960
That<00:42:49.420><c> is</c><00:42:49.760><c> the</c><00:42:50.039><c> fact.</c>

00:42:51.800 --> 00:42:53.380
But<00:42:51.940><c> look</c><00:42:52.079><c> at</c><00:42:52.139><c> the</c><00:42:52.280><c> perspective.</c>

00:42:53.760 --> 00:42:56.840
But<00:42:54.039><c> we</c><00:42:54.300><c> are</c><00:42:55.039><c> not</c><00:42:55.579><c> distressed.</c>

00:42:57.679 --> 00:43:00.539
And<00:42:57.900><c> that</c><00:42:58.119><c> word,</c><00:42:58.940><c> steno</c><00:42:59.440><c> corio,</c>

00:43:00.659 --> 00:43:04.079
is<00:43:00.860><c> the</c><00:43:01.019><c> idea</c><00:43:01.599><c> of</c><00:43:02.519><c> a</c><00:43:03.079><c> narrow</c><00:43:03.500><c> place,</c>

00:43:04.079 --> 00:43:05.940
where<00:43:04.260><c> you've</c><00:43:04.480><c> got</c><00:43:04.599><c> like</c><00:43:04.820><c> two</c><00:43:05.079><c> walls</c><00:43:05.400><c> of</c><00:43:05.559><c> a</c><00:43:05.780><c> cliff</c>

00:43:05.940 --> 00:43:07.960
that<00:43:06.039><c> are</c><00:43:06.219><c> coming</c><00:43:06.380><c> together</c><00:43:06.719><c> like</c><00:43:06.940><c> a</c><00:43:06.960><c> little</c><00:43:07.460><c> canyon,</c>

00:43:08.420 --> 00:43:10.219
and<00:43:08.420><c> it</c><00:43:08.579><c> gets</c><00:43:08.880><c> narrow</c><00:43:09.260><c> and</c><00:43:09.519><c> narrow</c><00:43:09.659><c> until</c><00:43:09.820><c> you</c><00:43:09.920><c> can't</c>

00:43:10.219 --> 00:43:11.719
get<00:43:10.380><c> out</c><00:43:10.480><c> the</c><00:43:10.599><c> other</c><00:43:10.760><c> end,</c><00:43:10.980><c> you're</c><00:43:11.199><c> jammed</c><00:43:11.360><c> in</c><00:43:11.539><c> there.</c>

00:43:12.039 --> 00:43:13.840
That's<00:43:12.460><c> the</c><00:43:12.599><c> idea</c><00:43:13.059><c> to</c><00:43:13.420><c> the</c><00:43:13.659><c> Greeks,</c>

00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:15.739
that's<00:43:14.159><c> what</c><00:43:14.260><c> that</c><00:43:14.480><c> word</c><00:43:14.659><c> spoke</c><00:43:14.940><c> about.</c>

00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:18.559
And<00:43:15.940><c> he</c><00:43:16.099><c> says,</c><00:43:16.559><c> yes,</c><00:43:17.539><c> the</c><00:43:17.559><c> sides</c><00:43:18.119><c> are</c><00:43:18.400><c> close,</c>

00:43:18.619 --> 00:43:21.659
we're<00:43:18.820><c> pressed</c><00:43:19.099><c> in,</c><00:43:20.300><c> but</c><00:43:20.480><c> we're</c><00:43:20.679><c> not</c><00:43:21.039><c> jammed</c><00:43:21.480><c> in.</c>

00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:23.420
We're<00:43:22.179><c> not</c><00:43:22.559><c> crushed,</c><00:43:23.039><c> all</c><00:43:23.199><c> right?</c>

00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:24.260
Isn't<00:43:23.719><c> that</c><00:43:23.840><c> beautiful?</c>

00:43:24.559 --> 00:43:27.820
So<00:43:24.840><c> we</c><00:43:25.099><c> are</c><00:43:25.559><c> pressed</c><00:43:25.860><c> in,</c><00:43:26.760><c> Chris</c><00:43:26.980><c> Barrett,</c><00:43:27.280><c> free</c><00:43:27.400><c> translation,</c>

00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:29.440
but<00:43:28.199><c> we</c><00:43:28.420><c> are</c><00:43:28.619><c> not</c><00:43:28.880><c> hemmed</c><00:43:29.099><c> in,</c>

00:43:29.800 --> 00:43:32.099
because<00:43:30.119><c> God</c><00:43:30.420><c> can</c><00:43:30.659><c> lift</c><00:43:30.820><c> us</c><00:43:30.980><c> out</c><00:43:31.159><c> of</c><00:43:31.260><c> the</c><00:43:31.440><c> canyons,</c><00:43:31.800><c> can't</c><00:43:32.019><c> he?</c>

00:43:32.099 --> 00:43:34.119
Yea,<00:43:32.739><c> though</c><00:43:32.820><c> I</c><00:43:32.940><c> walk</c><00:43:33.099><c> through</c><00:43:33.300><c> the</c><00:43:33.460><c> valley</c><00:43:33.659><c> of</c><00:43:33.820><c> the</c><00:43:33.940><c> shadow</c>

00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:34.659
of<00:43:34.360><c> death.</c>

00:43:34.840 --> 00:43:36.039
Trapped!<00:43:35.400><c> No,</c><00:43:35.559><c> not</c><00:43:35.780><c> trapped.</c>

00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:38.780
I'll<00:43:36.739><c> fear</c><00:43:36.880><c> no</c><00:43:37.059><c> evil,</c><00:43:37.480><c> because</c><00:43:37.900><c> thou</c><00:43:38.199><c> art</c><00:43:38.440><c> with</c><00:43:38.639><c> me,</c>

00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:40.519
thy<00:43:38.960><c> ride</c><00:43:39.179><c> and</c><00:43:39.280><c> thy</c><00:43:39.460><c> staff,</c><00:43:39.599><c> they</c><00:43:39.739><c> come</c><00:43:39.920><c> for</c><00:43:40.000><c> me,</c><00:43:40.119><c> right?</c>

00:43:40.880 --> 00:43:42.880
So<00:43:41.019><c> you</c><00:43:41.179><c> see,</c><00:43:41.639><c> that's</c><00:43:42.039><c> the</c><00:43:42.179><c> reality,</c><00:43:42.500><c> trouble.</c>

00:43:43.340 --> 00:43:47.380
But<00:43:43.460><c> the</c><00:43:43.760><c> perspective</c><00:43:44.440><c> is,</c><00:43:46.119><c> we're</c><00:43:46.340><c> not</c><00:43:46.579><c> trapped.</c>

00:43:47.699 --> 00:43:48.679
And<00:43:47.860><c> then</c><00:43:47.940><c> he</c><00:43:48.019><c> goes</c><00:43:48.219><c> on.</c>

00:43:48.980 --> 00:43:52.000
And<00:43:49.119><c> he</c><00:43:49.239><c> says,</c><00:43:49.920><c> we</c><00:43:50.039><c> are</c><00:43:50.679><c> perplexed.</c>

00:43:52.340 --> 00:43:54.039
And<00:43:52.519><c> that</c><00:43:52.639><c> is</c><00:43:52.900><c> the</c><00:43:52.980><c> word</c><00:43:53.219><c> that</c><00:43:53.440><c> is,</c><00:43:53.760><c> you</c><00:43:53.800><c> know,</c>

00:43:54.500 --> 00:43:56.000
where<00:43:54.739><c> else</c><00:43:54.940><c> does</c><00:43:55.039><c> that</c><00:43:55.219><c> word</c><00:43:55.360><c> come</c><00:43:55.579><c> from?</c>

00:43:56.280 --> 00:43:57.500
For<00:43:56.380><c> five</c><00:43:56.599><c> points.</c>

00:43:58.500 --> 00:43:59.880
Luke<00:43:58.940><c> 21,</c>

00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:07.760
and<00:44:00.460><c> it's</c><00:44:00.599><c> the</c><00:44:00.679><c> idea</c><00:44:01.039><c> of</c><00:44:01.340><c> distress</c><00:44:01.719><c> of</c><00:44:02.000><c> nations</c><00:44:02.320><c> with</c><00:44:02.599><c> perplexes.</c>

00:44:08.059 --> 00:44:09.440
The<00:44:08.199><c> sign</c><00:44:08.420><c> of</c><00:44:08.619><c> the</c><00:44:08.719><c> last</c><00:44:08.920><c> days,</c><00:44:09.440><c> right?</c>

00:44:09.820 --> 00:44:10.900
The<00:44:09.960><c> Olivet</c><00:44:10.280><c> Prophecy.</c>

00:44:11.400 --> 00:44:13.880
And<00:44:11.480><c> it</c><00:44:11.559><c> has</c><00:44:11.739><c> the</c><00:44:11.860><c> idea</c><00:44:12.159><c> of</c><00:44:12.599><c> distress</c><00:44:12.960><c> of</c><00:44:13.139><c> nations</c><00:44:13.320><c> with</c><00:44:13.639><c> no</c>

00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:14.380
way<00:44:14.119><c> out.</c>

00:44:14.579 --> 00:44:16.599
Again,<00:44:14.940><c> a</c><00:44:15.039><c> sign</c><00:44:15.280><c> of</c><00:44:15.440><c> what's</c><00:44:15.739><c> happening</c><00:44:15.920><c> in</c><00:44:16.039><c> the</c><00:44:16.179><c> world</c><00:44:16.300><c> today,</c>

00:44:16.599 --> 00:44:17.559
all<00:44:16.780><c> right?</c>

00:44:17.599 --> 00:44:18.639
We<00:44:17.800><c> have</c><00:44:17.980><c> no</c><00:44:18.159><c> way</c><00:44:18.360><c> out.</c>

00:44:18.840 --> 00:44:20.320
We're<00:44:19.059><c> utterly</c><00:44:19.500><c> at</c><00:44:20.000><c> a</c><00:44:20.179><c> loss.</c>

00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:23.280
It<00:44:20.519><c> means</c><00:44:20.800><c> without,</c><00:44:22.000><c> and</c><00:44:22.039><c> it</c><00:44:22.260><c> means</c><00:44:22.460><c> without</c><00:44:22.920><c> a</c><00:44:23.119><c> way.</c>

00:44:23.579 --> 00:44:25.400
There's<00:44:23.820><c> no</c><00:44:24.059><c> way</c><00:44:24.199><c> out</c><00:44:24.320><c> of</c><00:44:24.440><c> this</c><00:44:24.619><c> mess.</c>

00:44:25.619 --> 00:44:27.219
So<00:44:25.960><c> we're</c><00:44:26.219><c> at</c><00:44:26.340><c> our</c><00:44:26.480><c> wits</c><00:44:26.699><c> end,</c>

00:44:27.219 --> 00:44:29.960
but<00:44:27.980><c> we</c><00:44:28.840><c> don't</c><00:44:29.500><c> despair.</c>

00:44:30.380 --> 00:44:33.320
We<00:44:30.559><c> are</c><00:44:31.159><c> never</c><00:44:31.599><c> at</c><00:44:31.980><c> our</c><00:44:32.139><c> hopes</c><00:44:32.340><c> end.</c>

00:44:33.539 --> 00:44:37.340
You<00:44:33.639><c> see,</c><00:44:34.119><c> the</c><00:44:34.280><c> fact</c><00:44:34.519><c> is</c><00:44:35.360><c> that</c><00:44:36.239><c> there's</c><00:44:36.579><c> no</c><00:44:36.719><c> way</c><00:44:36.920><c> out.</c>

00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:39.840
But<00:44:37.880><c> the</c><00:44:38.079><c> reality</c><00:44:38.460><c> is</c><00:44:38.679><c> there</c><00:44:38.800><c> is</c><00:44:39.000><c> a</c><00:44:39.119><c> way.</c>

00:44:40.059 --> 00:44:42.579
It's<00:44:40.360><c> the</c><00:44:40.559><c> way</c><00:44:40.780><c> we</c><00:44:41.039><c> choose</c><00:44:41.219><c> to</c><00:44:41.480><c> look</c><00:44:41.699><c> at</c><00:44:41.880><c> those</c><00:44:42.199><c> things</c>

00:44:42.579 --> 00:44:47.960
that<00:44:43.000><c> either</c><00:44:43.260><c> makes</c><00:44:43.539><c> us</c><00:44:43.760><c> victorious</c><00:44:44.579><c> or</c><00:44:45.980><c> crushed</c><00:44:46.460><c> and</c><00:44:47.119><c> lost.</c>

00:44:48.039 --> 00:44:49.199
And<00:44:48.239><c> then</c><00:44:48.340><c> he</c><00:44:48.420><c> goes</c><00:44:48.639><c> on.</c>

00:44:49.480 --> 00:44:53.300
And<00:44:49.559><c> he</c><00:44:49.719><c> says,</c><00:44:52.159><c> persecuted.</c>

00:44:53.900 --> 00:44:56.519
And<00:44:54.099><c> again,</c><00:44:54.440><c> it's</c><00:44:54.639><c> literally</c><00:44:54.880><c> the</c><00:44:55.079><c> idea</c><00:44:55.219><c> to</c><00:44:55.440><c> persecute.</c>

00:44:58.460 --> 00:45:01.079
Or<00:44:58.940><c> more</c><00:44:59.420><c> literally,</c><00:45:00.239><c> actually</c><00:45:00.340><c> means</c><00:45:00.599><c> chased.</c>

00:45:01.579 --> 00:45:04.280
We're<00:45:01.739><c> being</c><00:45:02.079><c> chased,</c><00:45:02.480><c> and</c><00:45:02.659><c> you</c><00:45:02.760><c> can</c><00:45:03.039><c> see</c><00:45:03.179><c> that</c><00:45:03.519><c> literally</c><00:45:04.019><c> happen.</c>

00:45:04.380 --> 00:45:06.280
They<00:45:04.539><c> chase</c><00:45:04.699><c> them</c><00:45:04.840><c> out</c><00:45:04.980><c> of</c><00:45:05.079><c> the</c><00:45:05.199><c> city</c><00:45:05.340><c> and</c><00:45:05.579><c> stone</c><00:45:05.780><c> them,</c><00:45:06.000><c> as</c><00:45:06.039><c> we</c>

00:45:06.280 --> 00:45:07.360
said<00:45:06.400><c> in</c><00:45:06.559><c> Lystra.</c>

00:45:07.380 --> 00:45:07.940
All<00:45:07.539><c> right?</c>

00:45:08.239 --> 00:45:09.139
So<00:45:08.400><c> we're</c><00:45:08.539><c> being</c><00:45:08.880><c> chased.</c>

00:45:09.239 --> 00:45:10.800
That's<00:45:09.400><c> why</c><00:45:09.460><c> I</c><00:45:09.539><c> say,</c><00:45:09.739><c> compare</c><00:45:09.920><c> the</c><00:45:10.099><c> word</c><00:45:10.239><c> deoko.</c>

00:45:10.960 --> 00:45:13.599
It's<00:45:11.059><c> the</c><00:45:11.159><c> same</c><00:45:11.260><c> as</c><00:45:11.460><c> deacon,</c><00:45:11.719><c> which</c><00:45:11.880><c> means</c><00:45:12.099><c> literally</c><00:45:12.539><c> somebody</c><00:45:13.000><c> who</c><00:45:13.360><c> runs,</c>

00:45:13.619 --> 00:45:15.800
a<00:45:13.800><c> gopher,</c><00:45:14.239><c> somebody</c><00:45:14.460><c> who</c><00:45:14.699><c> runs</c><00:45:14.860><c> to</c><00:45:15.099><c> help.</c>

00:45:15.980 --> 00:45:18.380
But<00:45:15.980><c> anyway,</c><00:45:16.380><c> so</c><00:45:16.699><c> we</c><00:45:16.980><c> are</c><00:45:17.320><c> chased.</c>

00:45:18.719 --> 00:45:19.980
We're<00:45:18.960><c> persecuted</c><00:45:19.340><c> by</c><00:45:19.659><c> men.</c>

00:45:20.420 --> 00:45:22.960
But<00:45:20.840><c> never</c><00:45:21.599><c> abandoned</c><00:45:22.380><c> by</c><00:45:22.699><c> God.</c>

00:45:23.099 --> 00:45:24.619
We<00:45:23.340><c> are</c><00:45:23.659><c> not</c><00:45:24.099><c> abandoned.</c>

00:45:24.619 --> 00:45:25.960
Isn't<00:45:25.119><c> that</c><00:45:25.260><c> beautiful</c><00:45:25.599><c> again?</c>

00:45:26.320 --> 00:45:28.360
That's<00:45:26.699><c> the</c><00:45:26.920><c> reality,</c><00:45:27.320><c> isn't</c><00:45:27.559><c> it?</c>

00:45:28.760 --> 00:45:32.500
The<00:45:29.000><c> fact</c><00:45:29.260><c> is</c><00:45:29.599><c> that</c><00:45:30.019><c> we're</c><00:45:30.480><c> being</c><00:45:30.739><c> chased</c><00:45:31.019><c> and</c><00:45:31.139><c> we</c><00:45:31.239><c> can't</c><00:45:31.380><c> get</c><00:45:31.579><c> out.</c>

00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:35.659
The<00:45:33.059><c> perspective</c><00:45:33.559><c> is,</c><00:45:34.099><c> we're</c><00:45:34.280><c> never</c><00:45:34.579><c> abandoned.</c>

00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:37.400
God<00:45:36.059><c> will</c><00:45:36.300><c> lift</c><00:45:36.460><c> us</c><00:45:36.659><c> out</c><00:45:36.840><c> of</c><00:45:36.960><c> it.</c>

00:45:37.880 --> 00:45:40.039
We<00:45:38.039><c> are</c><00:45:38.719><c> cast</c><00:45:39.300><c> down.</c>

00:45:40.179 --> 00:45:43.159
And<00:45:40.219><c> you'll</c><00:45:40.460><c> notice</c><00:45:40.659><c> that</c><00:45:40.940><c> word,</c><00:45:41.380><c> katha,</c><00:45:42.000><c> meaning</c><00:45:42.239><c> like</c><00:45:42.940><c> an</c>

00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:43.760
emphasis<00:45:43.480><c> too.</c>

00:45:43.880 --> 00:45:45.159
And<00:45:44.039><c> bala</c><00:45:44.219><c> means</c><00:45:44.420><c> to</c><00:45:44.940><c> throw.</c>

00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:48.019
It's<00:45:45.440><c> the</c><00:45:45.539><c> same</c><00:45:45.659><c> word</c><00:45:45.860><c> where</c><00:45:46.199><c> the</c><00:45:46.260><c> devil</c><00:45:46.519><c> or</c><00:45:46.699><c> devil</c><00:45:46.940><c> comes</c><00:45:47.260><c> from.</c>

00:45:48.079 --> 00:45:50.800
And<00:45:48.579><c> it</c><00:45:48.719><c> says,</c><00:45:49.139><c> we're</c><00:45:49.400><c> thrown</c><00:45:49.559><c> down.</c>

00:45:51.219 --> 00:45:54.679
But,<00:45:52.340><c> and</c><00:45:52.639><c> again,</c><00:45:52.980><c> I</c><00:45:53.019><c> hope</c><00:45:53.139><c> you'll</c><00:45:53.579><c> apologize</c><00:45:53.940><c> for</c><00:45:54.179><c> my</c><00:45:54.440><c> Chris</c>

00:45:54.679 --> 00:45:55.800
Barrett<00:45:54.860><c> free</c><00:45:55.079><c> translation</c><00:45:55.539><c> here.</c>

00:45:56.000 --> 00:46:00.340
We<00:45:56.199><c> are</c><00:45:56.719><c> knocked</c><00:45:57.019><c> down,</c><00:45:58.340><c> but</c><00:45:58.500><c> we</c><00:45:58.639><c> are</c><00:45:58.880><c> never</c><00:45:59.099><c> knocked</c><00:45:59.360><c> out.</c>

00:46:00.579 --> 00:46:03.039
And<00:46:00.800><c> again,</c><00:46:00.960><c> it's</c><00:46:01.139><c> the</c><00:46:01.239><c> idea</c><00:46:01.400><c> of</c><00:46:01.619><c> a</c><00:46:01.699><c> soldier</c><00:46:02.000><c> in</c><00:46:02.239><c> battle,</c><00:46:02.619><c> isn't</c><00:46:02.719><c> it?</c>

00:46:03.380 --> 00:46:07.019
You<00:46:03.559><c> can</c><00:46:03.739><c> be</c><00:46:03.940><c> knocked</c><00:46:04.159><c> down,</c><00:46:05.179><c> but</c><00:46:05.380><c> never</c><00:46:05.699><c> knocked</c><00:46:06.079><c> out.</c>

00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:09.960
Fact,<00:46:07.760><c> yes,</c><00:46:08.000><c> we</c><00:46:08.139><c> do</c><00:46:08.340><c> get</c><00:46:08.639><c> cast</c><00:46:08.860><c> down</c><00:46:09.019><c> from</c><00:46:09.239><c> time</c><00:46:09.400><c> to</c><00:46:09.539><c> time.</c>

00:46:10.340 --> 00:46:12.800
And<00:46:10.539><c> it's</c><00:46:10.719><c> when</c><00:46:10.840><c> we're</c><00:46:10.960><c> on</c><00:46:11.139><c> the</c><00:46:11.440><c> floor,</c>

00:46:14.000 --> 00:46:15.739
there's<00:46:14.119><c> a</c><00:46:14.300><c> time</c><00:46:14.460><c> when</c><00:46:14.639><c> that</c><00:46:14.960><c> flag</c><00:46:15.219><c> is</c><00:46:15.519><c> required,</c>

00:46:15.820 --> 00:46:17.440
that<00:46:16.019><c> little</c><00:46:16.320><c> warning</c><00:46:16.639><c> buzzer</c><00:46:16.920><c> in</c><00:46:17.059><c> our</c><00:46:17.239><c> minds,</c>

00:46:20.940 --> 00:46:24.380
Strengthen<00:46:21.360><c> me</c><00:46:21.500><c> when</c><00:46:21.659><c> I</c><00:46:21.940><c> understand</c><00:46:22.420><c> what</c><00:46:22.619><c> it</c><00:46:22.800><c> is</c><00:46:22.960><c> and</c><00:46:23.119><c> get</c><00:46:23.340><c> back</c><00:46:23.639><c> up</c><00:46:23.860><c> again</c>

00:46:26.400 --> 00:46:30.400
Because<00:46:26.719><c> we</c><00:46:26.980><c> are,</c><00:46:27.519><c> as</c><00:46:27.739><c> we've</c><00:46:28.039><c> read,</c><00:46:28.980><c> this</c><00:46:29.260><c> glory</c><00:46:29.619><c> is</c><00:46:30.000><c> in</c><00:46:30.199><c> earth</c>

00:46:31.880 --> 00:46:36.599
And<00:46:32.039><c> so,</c><00:46:33.719><c> that</c><00:46:34.099><c> cracked</c><00:46:34.360><c> and</c><00:46:34.679><c> chipped</c><00:46:35.000><c> pot</c><00:46:35.420><c> that</c><00:46:35.599><c> we</c><00:46:35.739><c> go</c><00:46:35.960><c> through</c><00:46:36.159><c> life</c><00:46:36.420><c> with,</c>

00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:44.539
But<00:46:40.900><c> it</c><00:46:41.079><c> may</c><00:46:41.219><c> never</c><00:46:41.579><c> break,</c><00:46:43.019><c> because</c><00:46:43.420><c> God</c><00:46:43.780><c> has</c><00:46:43.960><c> got</c><00:46:44.099><c> a</c><00:46:44.239><c> purpose</c>

00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:51.920
And<00:46:47.199><c> so,</c><00:46:47.719><c> our</c><00:46:47.719><c> beliefs</c><00:46:48.039><c> and</c><00:46:48.219><c> attitudes</c><00:46:48.920><c> play</c><00:46:49.880><c> such</c><00:46:50.139><c> an</c><00:46:50.440><c> enormous</c><00:46:50.920><c> role</c>
