00:00:12.380 --> 00:00:15.539
a<00:00:12.500><c> brief</c><00:00:12.800><c> overview</c><00:00:13.640><c> of</c><00:00:13.960><c> an</c><00:00:14.220><c> entire</c><00:00:14.560><c> section</c><00:00:15.000><c> and</c><00:00:15.160><c> the</c><00:00:15.359><c> points</c>

00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:19.219
So,<00:00:17.640><c> first</c><00:00:17.899><c> of</c><00:00:18.039><c> all,</c><00:00:18.100><c> I</c><00:00:18.239><c> could</c><00:00:18.379><c> direct</c><00:00:18.559><c> your</c><00:00:18.739><c> attention</c><00:00:19.059><c> to</c>

the<00:00:19.440><c> board.</c>

00:00:20.260 --> 00:00:24.280
We<00:00:20.539><c> have</c><00:00:20.780><c> an</c><00:00:21.079><c> outline</c><00:00:21.519><c> of</c><00:00:21.739><c> the</c><00:00:21.940><c> first</c><00:00:22.480><c> 18</c><00:00:23.100><c> verses</c><00:00:23.480><c> of</c><00:00:23.820><c> chapter</c><00:00:23.960><c> 6.</c>

00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.059
It<00:00:24.280><c> really</c><00:00:24.780><c> is</c><00:00:25.179><c> a</c><00:00:25.359><c> section</c><00:00:25.800><c> all</c><00:00:26.179><c> in</c><00:00:26.339><c> itself</c><00:00:26.679><c> that</c><00:00:26.859><c> we're</c><00:00:26.980><c> not</c>

the<00:00:34.859><c> chapter.</c>

00:00:35.899 --> 00:00:42.340
In<00:00:36.280><c> this</c><00:00:36.640><c> section,</c><00:00:37.359><c> we</c><00:00:37.579><c> have</c><00:00:37.920><c> a</c><00:00:38.359><c> three</c><00:00:38.679><c>-fold</c><00:00:39.119><c> warning</c><00:00:39.859><c> that</c><00:00:40.759><c> Jesus</c><00:00:41.240><c> makes</c><00:00:41.799><c> to</c>

00:00:46.679 --> 00:00:51.020
And<00:00:46.960><c> remember,</c><00:00:47.179><c> we're</c><00:00:47.439><c> still</c><00:00:47.960><c> following</c><00:00:48.320><c> up</c><00:00:48.659><c> on</c><00:00:48.899><c> what</c><00:00:49.219><c> was</c><00:00:49.859><c> the</c><00:00:50.140><c> main</c><00:00:50.439><c> subject</c><00:00:50.859><c> of</c>

00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:57.380
that<00:00:54.719><c> there</c><00:00:55.320><c> were</c><00:00:55.640><c> two</c><00:00:55.979><c> kinds</c><00:00:56.399><c> of</c><00:00:56.679><c> righteousness</c><00:00:57.020><c> that</c><00:00:57.240><c> are</c>

00:00:57.380 --> 00:00:59.119
being<00:00:57.799><c> contrasted</c><00:00:58.439><c> with</c><00:00:58.619><c> one</c><00:00:58.780><c> another.</c>

00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.500
The<00:00:59.659><c> righteousness</c><00:01:00.060><c> is</c><00:01:00.439><c> practiced</c><00:01:00.659><c> by</c><00:01:00.939><c> the</c><00:01:01.140><c> Pharisees</c><00:01:01.899><c> and</c><00:01:02.240><c> a</c>

different<00:01:02.799><c> kind</c><00:01:03.200><c> of</c><00:01:03.439><c> righteousness,</c>

00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:05.540
not<00:01:04.000><c> just</c><00:01:04.200><c> a</c><00:01:04.340><c> different</c><00:01:04.540><c> degree</c><00:01:04.920><c> of</c><00:01:05.180><c> righteousness,</c>

00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:09.340
but<00:01:06.040><c> a</c><00:01:06.239><c> different</c><00:01:06.439><c> kind</c><00:01:06.799><c> or</c><00:01:07.000><c> type</c><00:01:07.280><c> of</c><00:01:07.579><c> righteousness</c><00:01:07.959><c> that</c><00:01:08.459><c> was</c><00:01:08.659><c> practiced</c><00:01:09.040><c> by</c>

00:01:09.340 --> 00:01:12.159
Jesus<00:01:09.879><c> and</c><00:01:10.400><c> exhorted</c><00:01:10.760><c> to</c><00:01:10.980><c> his</c><00:01:11.239><c> followers.</c>

00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:15.400
So,<00:01:13.260><c> in</c><00:01:13.359><c> following</c><00:01:13.560><c> up</c><00:01:13.780><c> on</c><00:01:13.939><c> this,</c><00:01:14.099><c> Jesus</c><00:01:14.439><c> says,</c>

00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:22.799
And<00:01:19.079><c> that</c><00:01:19.079><c> rather</c><00:01:20.560><c> peculiar</c><00:01:21.040><c> word</c><00:01:21.319><c> in</c><00:01:21.459><c> the</c><00:01:21.579><c> King</c><00:01:21.760><c> James</c><00:01:22.040><c> Version,</c><00:01:22.500><c> verse</c>

00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:26.420
1,<00:01:24.420><c> is</c><00:01:24.540><c> really</c><00:01:25.219><c> the</c><00:01:25.379><c> word</c><00:01:25.579><c> for</c><00:01:25.859><c> righteousness.</c>

00:01:26.659 --> 00:01:27.900
So,<00:01:26.939><c> what</c><00:01:26.939><c> he's</c><00:01:27.079><c> saying</c><00:01:27.379><c> is,</c>

00:01:27.900 --> 00:01:33.560
Beware<00:01:28.659><c> that</c><00:01:29.120><c> you</c><00:01:29.620><c> do</c><00:01:29.939><c> not</c><00:01:30.260><c> practice</c><00:01:30.920><c> your</c><00:01:31.939><c> righteousness</c><00:01:32.640><c> so</c>

00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:35.980
as<00:01:33.819><c> to</c><00:01:33.980><c> be</c><00:01:34.180><c> seen</c><00:01:34.620><c> by</c><00:01:35.140><c> other</c><00:01:35.480><c> men.</c>

00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:41.519
So,<00:01:37.519><c> in</c><00:01:37.599><c> putting</c><00:01:37.760><c> it</c><00:01:37.900><c> that</c><00:01:38.079><c> way,</c><00:01:38.480><c> Jesus</c><00:01:38.680><c> is,</c><00:01:40.480><c> in</c><00:01:41.120><c> a</c><00:01:41.120><c> roundabout</c>

00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:42.040

00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.120
describing<00:01:42.939><c> the</c><00:01:43.560><c> Pharisees</c><00:01:44.459><c> and</c><00:01:44.819><c> others</c><00:01:45.200><c> who</c><00:01:45.540><c> think</c><00:01:45.760><c> like</c>

00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:47.140
the<00:01:46.359><c> Pharisees,</c>

00:01:47.140 --> 00:01:51.319
who<00:01:47.359><c> were</c><00:01:47.640><c> interested</c><00:01:47.980><c> in</c><00:01:48.299><c> doing</c><00:01:48.560><c> particular</c><00:01:49.099><c> things</c><00:01:49.879><c> so</c><00:01:50.459><c> that</c><00:01:50.700><c> they</c><00:01:50.819><c> would</c><00:01:51.099><c> be</c>

00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:54.719
seen<00:01:51.579><c> by</c><00:01:52.019><c> others</c><00:01:52.540><c> to</c><00:01:53.340><c> be</c><00:01:53.620><c> righteous,</c>

00:01:55.379 --> 00:01:58.260
so<00:01:55.939><c> that</c><00:01:56.099><c> they</c><00:01:56.239><c> would</c><00:01:56.680><c> bolster</c><00:01:57.099><c> up</c><00:01:57.299><c> themselves</c><00:01:57.780><c> in</c><00:01:57.920><c> their</c><00:01:58.079><c> own</c>

00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:04.180
So,<00:02:01.480><c> again,</c><00:02:02.260><c> we're</c><00:02:02.439><c> right</c><00:02:02.579><c> back</c><00:02:02.780><c> to</c><00:02:02.840><c> what</c><00:02:02.959><c> we</c><00:02:03.200><c> discussed</c><00:02:03.500><c> considerably</c><00:02:03.980><c> in</c>

and<00:13:14.759><c> their</c><00:13:15.539><c> God,</c><00:13:16.220><c> Baal,</c><00:13:16.700><c> never</c><00:13:16.960><c> heard</c><00:13:17.279><c> them.</c>

00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:21.159
So<00:13:18.600><c> it</c><00:13:18.820><c> seems</c><00:13:19.120><c> as</c><00:13:19.279><c> though</c><00:13:19.379><c> Jesus</c><00:13:19.659><c> had</c><00:13:19.840><c> that</c><00:13:20.100><c> very</c><00:13:20.299><c> sort</c><00:13:20.440><c> of</c><00:13:20.580><c> thing</c><00:13:20.700><c> in</c><00:13:20.899><c> mind,</c>

00:13:21.240 --> 00:13:23.860
and<00:13:21.419><c> Elijah</c><00:13:21.759><c> comes</c><00:13:22.059><c> to</c><00:13:22.240><c> them</c><00:13:22.500><c> very</c><00:13:23.019><c> sarcastically.</c>

00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:25.860
It's<00:13:24.440><c> in</c><00:13:24.539><c> 1</c><00:13:24.720><c> Kings</c><00:13:24.960><c> chapter</c><00:13:25.320><c> 18,</c>

00:13:25.980 --> 00:13:28.000
and<00:13:26.120><c> he</c><00:13:26.299><c> says,</c><00:13:26.820><c> oh,</c><00:13:26.879><c> perhaps</c><00:13:27.100><c> your</c><00:13:27.320><c> God</c><00:13:27.500><c> is</c><00:13:27.720><c> asleep,</c>

00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:29.480
or<00:13:28.220><c> maybe</c><00:13:28.360><c> he's</c><00:13:28.519><c> gone</c><00:13:28.779><c> away</c><00:13:29.000><c> on</c><00:13:29.200><c> a</c><00:13:29.340><c> trip,</c>

00:13:29.500 --> 00:13:31.799
and<00:13:29.600><c> you</c><00:13:29.679><c> have</c><00:13:29.860><c> to</c><00:13:29.980><c> yell</c><00:13:30.200><c> louder</c><00:13:30.639><c> so</c><00:13:31.000><c> he'll</c><00:13:31.200><c> hear</c><00:13:31.419><c> you.</c>

00:13:31.860 --> 00:13:33.740
And<00:13:32.139><c> obviously</c><00:13:32.600><c> they</c><00:13:33.000><c> had</c><00:13:33.240><c> no</c><00:13:33.440><c> God.</c>

00:13:34.019 --> 00:13:36.480
There<00:13:34.179><c> was</c><00:13:34.399><c> no</c><00:13:34.539><c> one</c><00:13:34.639><c> there</c><00:13:34.919><c> and</c><00:13:35.059><c> no</c><00:13:35.220><c> one</c><00:13:35.360><c> to</c><00:13:35.600><c> answer</c><00:13:35.980><c> their</c>

00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:37.559
vain<00:13:36.879><c> repetitions.</c>

00:13:37.659 --> 00:13:39.360
They're<00:13:38.000><c> babbling</c><00:13:38.419><c> away.</c>

00:13:39.580 --> 00:13:43.299
But<00:13:39.759><c> Elijah</c><00:13:40.220><c> spoke</c><00:13:40.600><c> once</c><00:13:41.039><c> and</c><00:13:41.279><c> spoke</c><00:13:41.539><c> quietly</c><00:13:42.139><c> and</c><00:13:42.799><c> confidently,</c>

00:13:43.340 --> 00:13:46.539
and<00:13:43.919><c> God</c><00:13:44.259><c> responded</c><00:13:44.879><c> to</c><00:13:45.080><c> him,</c><00:13:45.559><c> the</c><00:13:45.740><c> God</c><00:13:45.980><c> of</c><00:13:46.220><c> Israel,</c>

00:13:46.539 --> 00:13:48.539
the<00:13:46.820><c> only</c><00:13:47.100><c> true</c><00:13:47.419><c> God,</c>

00:13:48.960 --> 00:13:50.759
for<00:13:49.159><c> they</c><00:13:49.419><c> think</c><00:13:49.639><c> that</c><00:13:49.799><c> they</c><00:13:49.960><c> shall</c><00:13:50.139><c> be</c><00:13:50.399><c> heard</c>

00:13:50.759 --> 00:13:52.720
because<00:13:51.259><c> of</c><00:13:51.399><c> their</c><00:13:51.559><c> much</c><00:13:51.779><c> speaking.</c>

00:13:54.940 --> 00:13:57.820
Be<00:13:55.159><c> not</c><00:13:55.620><c> ye</c><00:13:55.879><c> therefore</c><00:13:56.360><c> like</c><00:13:56.700><c> unto</c><00:13:57.019><c> them,</c><00:13:57.320><c> verse</c><00:13:57.620><c> 8,</c>

00:13:57.840 --> 00:14:00.559
for<00:13:58.039><c> your</c><00:13:58.259><c> Father</c><00:13:58.580><c> knoweth</c><00:13:58.980><c> what</c><00:13:59.279><c> things</c><00:13:59.500><c> ye</c><00:13:59.700><c> have</c><00:13:59.899><c> need</c><00:14:00.139><c> of</c>

00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:04.519
As<00:14:03.580><c> someone</c><00:14:03.820><c> once</c><00:14:04.100><c> said,</c>

00:14:04.779 --> 00:14:06.940
he<00:14:05.019><c> who</c><00:14:05.240><c> already</c><00:14:05.659><c> knows</c><00:14:06.019><c> all</c><00:14:06.480><c> things</c>

00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:09.960
doesn't<00:14:07.460><c> need</c><00:14:07.980><c> detailed</c><00:14:08.559><c> information</c><00:14:09.320><c> bulletins.</c>

00:14:10.259 --> 00:14:12.340
Oh,<00:14:10.500><c> God,</c><00:14:10.779><c> well,</c><00:14:10.879><c> now</c><00:14:11.059><c> we</c><00:14:11.220><c> need</c><00:14:11.340><c> this</c><00:14:11.580><c> and</c><00:14:11.659><c> now</c><00:14:11.860><c> we</c><00:14:11.980><c> need</c><00:14:12.059><c> that</c>

00:14:12.340 --> 00:14:13.279

00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:14.460
He<00:14:13.779><c> already</c><00:14:14.080><c> knows.</c>

00:14:14.460 --> 00:14:17.759
And<00:14:15.220><c> so,</c><00:14:16.139><c> as</c><00:14:16.500><c> is</c><00:14:16.940><c> said</c><00:14:17.059><c> in</c><00:14:17.220><c> the</c><00:14:17.320><c> Old</c><00:14:17.480><c> Testament,</c>

00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:19.460
I<00:14:17.940><c> believe</c><00:14:18.139><c> in</c><00:14:18.299><c> the</c><00:14:18.399><c> Book</c><00:14:18.539><c> of</c><00:14:18.659><c> Ecclesiastes,</c>

00:14:19.720 --> 00:14:21.480
God<00:14:19.980><c> is</c><00:14:20.179><c> in</c><00:14:20.340><c> heaven</c><00:14:20.519><c> and</c><00:14:20.659><c> you</c><00:14:20.840><c> are</c><00:14:20.940><c> upon</c><00:14:21.220><c> earth.</c>

00:14:21.820 --> 00:14:23.539
Therefore<00:14:22.100><c> let</c><00:14:22.360><c> your</c><00:14:22.580><c> words</c><00:14:22.940><c> be</c><00:14:23.320><c> few.</c>

And<00:14:24.139><c> approach</c><00:14:24.419><c> God</c><00:14:24.879><c> in</c><00:14:25.240><c> the</c><00:14:25.460><c> same</c><00:14:25.679><c> way</c><00:14:25.899><c> that</c><00:14:26.100><c> you</c><00:14:26.159><c> might</c><00:14:26.379><c> approach,</c>

00:14:27.220 --> 00:14:30.779

00:14:36.360 --> 00:14:37.779
Be<00:14:36.639><c> careful</c><00:14:37.000><c> with</c><00:14:37.220><c> your</c><00:14:37.440><c> words.</c>

00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:39.059
Be<00:14:38.220><c> thoughtful</c><00:14:38.539><c> of</c><00:14:38.779><c> them.</c>

00:14:39.259 --> 00:14:41.779
Don't<00:14:39.659><c> repeat</c><00:14:40.259><c> in</c><00:14:41.000><c> your</c><00:14:41.259><c> prayers</c>

00:14:44.059 --> 00:14:46.159
so<00:14:44.399><c> that</c><00:14:44.720><c> other</c><00:14:44.919><c> men</c><00:14:45.179><c> might</c><00:14:45.480><c> hear</c><00:14:45.679><c> you</c>

00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:47.980
and<00:14:46.379><c> marvel</c><00:14:46.639><c> at</c><00:14:46.840><c> the</c><00:14:47.019><c> fine</c><00:14:47.179><c> prayers</c><00:14:47.539><c> you</c><00:14:47.799><c> gave.</c>

00:14:48.019 --> 00:14:49.639
But<00:14:48.200><c> always</c><00:14:48.659><c> keep</c><00:14:49.039><c> in</c><00:14:49.299><c> mind</c>

00:14:52.779 --> 00:14:55.480

00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.120
And<00:15:01.820><c> then</c><00:15:02.220><c> we</c><00:15:02.879><c> have</c><00:15:03.519><c> Jesus'</c><00:15:04.379><c> model</c><00:15:04.659><c> prayer</c>

the<00:15:27.480><c> Pharisees</c><00:15:28.059><c> customarily</c><00:15:28.740><c> stood</c><00:15:29.100><c> in</c><00:15:29.399><c> the</c><00:15:29.620><c> marketplaces</c>

00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:31.460
and<00:15:30.320><c> on</c><00:15:30.399><c> the</c><00:15:30.559><c> corners</c><00:15:30.820><c> of</c><00:15:31.000><c> the</c><00:15:31.200><c> streets</c>

00:15:31.460 --> 00:15:33.679
and<00:15:32.000><c> prayed</c><00:15:32.379><c> with</c><00:15:32.840><c> great</c><00:15:33.179><c> words</c>

00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:36.159
so<00:15:34.179><c> that</c><00:15:34.440><c> others</c><00:15:34.679><c> who</c><00:15:34.960><c> passed</c><00:15:35.179><c> by</c><00:15:35.460><c> could</c><00:15:35.700><c> see</c><00:15:35.919><c> them.</c>

00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:40.080
That<00:15:37.179><c> was</c><00:15:37.460><c> clearly</c><00:15:37.759><c> a</c><00:15:38.080><c> sort</c><00:15:38.279><c> of</c><00:15:38.440><c> prayer</c><00:15:38.559><c> that</c><00:15:38.679><c> was</c><00:15:38.860><c> very</c><00:15:39.200><c> wrong.</c>

00:15:40.139 --> 00:15:41.720
And<00:15:40.259><c> yet</c><00:15:40.480><c> there</c><00:15:40.860><c> are</c><00:15:41.259><c> occasions,</c>

00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:43.200
as<00:15:41.940><c> we</c><00:15:42.059><c> know</c><00:15:42.259><c> from</c><00:15:42.440><c> reading</c><00:15:42.679><c> the</c><00:15:42.919><c> letters,</c>

00:15:43.460 --> 00:15:44.779
when<00:15:43.559><c> public</c><00:15:43.899><c> prayers,</c>

00:15:45.059 --> 00:15:48.080
at<00:15:45.360><c> the</c><00:15:45.519><c> time</c><00:15:45.740><c> when</c><00:15:46.539><c> brothers</c><00:15:46.799><c> and</c><00:15:47.059><c> sisters</c><00:15:47.240><c> were</c><00:15:47.480><c> gathered</c><00:15:47.659><c> together,</c>

00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:49.659
public<00:15:48.580><c> prayers</c><00:15:48.860><c> are</c><00:15:49.080><c> quite</c><00:15:49.320><c> fitting.</c>

00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:53.480
Still,<00:15:50.580><c> I</c><00:15:50.639><c> think</c><00:15:51.059><c> the</c><00:15:52.000><c> counsel</c><00:15:52.360><c> about</c><00:15:52.659><c> vain</c><00:15:52.919><c> repetition</c>

00:15:53.480 --> 00:15:55.700
and<00:15:54.240><c> flowery</c><00:15:54.759><c> phrases</c><00:15:55.039><c> and</c><00:15:55.259><c> so</c><00:15:55.480><c> forth,</c>

00:15:56.179 --> 00:15:58.779
we<00:15:56.580><c> would</c><00:15:56.740><c> do</c><00:15:56.919><c> well</c><00:15:57.100><c> to</c><00:15:57.340><c> heed</c><00:15:57.419><c> that</c><00:15:57.639><c> even</c><00:15:57.840><c> today.</c>

00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.320
So<00:16:00.460><c> the</c><00:16:00.899><c> pattern</c><00:16:01.139><c> that</c><00:16:01.379><c> Jesus</c><00:16:01.620><c> gives</c><00:16:01.899><c> here</c><00:16:02.159><c> is</c><00:16:02.360><c> for</c><00:16:02.600><c> private</c><00:16:02.980><c> prayers,</c>

00:16:03.340 --> 00:16:05.200
but<00:16:03.480><c> I</c><00:16:03.580><c> think</c><00:16:03.779><c> also</c><00:16:04.279><c> to</c><00:16:04.639><c> some</c><00:16:04.820><c> extent</c>

00:16:05.200 --> 00:16:07.279
it<00:16:05.419><c> could</c><00:16:05.600><c> be</c><00:16:05.740><c> the</c><00:16:05.840><c> pattern</c><00:16:06.139><c> for</c><00:16:06.419><c> public</c><00:16:06.799><c> prayers,</c>

00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.080
prayers<00:16:07.799><c> in</c><00:16:08.000><c> the</c><00:16:08.240><c> Ecclesia</c><00:16:08.639><c> as</c><00:16:09.159><c> well.</c>

00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:13.440
There<00:16:10.559><c> is</c><00:16:10.919><c> an</c><00:16:11.379><c> organization</c><00:16:11.919><c> about</c><00:16:12.259><c> what</c><00:16:12.759><c> he</c><00:16:13.100><c> gives</c><00:16:13.240><c> here</c>

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:14.639
in<00:16:13.539><c> this</c><00:16:13.740><c> rather</c><00:16:13.960><c> brief</c><00:16:14.220><c> prayer.</c>

00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:16.960
First<00:16:15.179><c> of</c><00:16:15.399><c> all,</c><00:16:15.980><c> verses</c><00:16:16.059><c> 9</c><00:16:16.399><c> and</c><00:16:16.539><c> 10,</c>

00:16:22.340 --> 00:16:25.399

00:16:25.740 --> 00:16:28.139
there<00:16:25.919><c> are</c><00:16:26.299><c> three</c><00:16:26.980><c> personal</c><00:16:27.539><c> requests,</c>

One,<00:16:55.860><c> thy</c><00:16:55.980><c> kingdom</c><00:16:56.340><c> come.</c>

00:16:57.259 --> 00:17:01.580
Two,<00:16:58.120><c> thy</c><00:16:58.240><c> will</c><00:16:58.480><c> be</c><00:16:58.740><c> done</c><00:16:59.000><c> in</c><00:16:59.360><c> earth</c><00:16:59.740><c> as</c><00:17:00.179><c> it</c><00:17:00.360><c> is</c><00:17:00.539><c> in</c><00:17:00.740><c> heaven.</c>

Excuse<00:17:04.240><c> me,</c><00:17:05.099><c> I</c><00:17:05.319><c> started</c><00:17:05.579><c> with</c><00:17:05.759><c> verse</c><00:17:05.900><c> 10</c><00:17:06.119><c> rather</c><00:17:06.319><c> than</c><00:17:06.400><c> verse</c><00:17:06.599><c> 9.</c>

Now,<00:17:20.099><c> those</c><00:17:20.500><c> three</c><00:17:21.039><c> requests</c><00:17:21.579><c> that</c><00:17:21.799><c> God</c><00:17:22.039><c> be</c><00:17:22.259><c> glorified</c>

00:17:22.980 --> 00:17:24.599

and<00:17:24.759><c> yet</c><00:17:24.880><c> I</c><00:17:24.900><c> think</c><00:17:25.059><c> we</c><00:17:25.140><c> can</c><00:17:25.339><c> make</c><00:17:25.440><c> some</c><00:17:25.660><c> distinction</c><00:17:26.359><c> between</c><00:17:26.900><c> them.</c>

00:17:28.059 --> 00:17:30.920

00:17:38.619 --> 00:17:41.460
We<00:17:38.640><c> cannot</c><00:17:39.019><c> pray</c><00:17:39.440><c> ignorantly</c><00:17:40.039><c> that</c><00:17:40.220><c> God</c><00:17:40.460><c> be</c><00:17:40.660><c> glorified.</c>

00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:44.900
We<00:17:42.059><c> must</c><00:17:42.380><c> know</c><00:17:42.700><c> what</c><00:17:42.940><c> it</c><00:17:43.160><c> is</c><00:17:43.359><c> that</c><00:17:43.559><c> God</c><00:17:43.799><c> intends</c><00:17:44.200><c> to</c><00:17:44.500><c> do</c>

00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:53.180
The<00:17:50.140><c> first</c><00:17:50.440><c> request,</c><00:17:51.259><c> may</c><00:17:51.440><c> thy</c><00:17:51.680><c> name</c><00:17:52.160><c> be</c><00:17:52.619><c> hallowed.</c>

00:17:53.259 --> 00:17:57.619
May<00:17:53.420><c> thy</c><00:17:53.720><c> name</c><00:17:54.039><c> be</c><00:17:54.440><c> holy</c><00:17:54.859><c> or</c><00:17:55.339><c> blessed</c><00:17:55.839><c> by</c><00:17:56.539><c> all</c><00:17:56.819><c> men.</c>

00:17:57.859 --> 00:17:59.339
And<00:17:58.079><c> we</c><00:17:58.259><c> hope</c><00:17:58.440><c> that</c><00:17:58.640><c> that</c><00:17:58.740><c> is</c><00:17:58.940><c> true</c>

00:17:59.339 --> 00:18:02.200
so<00:17:59.660><c> far</c><00:17:59.920><c> as</c><00:18:00.140><c> we</c><00:18:00.259><c> have</c><00:18:00.519><c> opportunity</c><00:18:01.039><c> to</c><00:18:01.259><c> do</c><00:18:01.400><c> it</c><00:18:01.599><c> today</c>

00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:06.539
and<00:18:02.980><c> to</c><00:18:03.259><c> instruct</c><00:18:03.539><c> others</c><00:18:04.000><c> to</c><00:18:04.640><c> praise</c><00:18:05.140><c> God's</c><00:18:05.759><c> holy</c><00:18:05.940><c> name.</c>

00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:09.099
But<00:18:07.180><c> we</c><00:18:07.380><c> know</c><00:18:07.680><c> that</c><00:18:07.819><c> it</c><00:18:07.900><c> will</c><00:18:08.039><c> be</c><00:18:08.240><c> true</c><00:18:08.420><c> in</c><00:18:08.640><c> the</c><00:18:08.740><c> future</c>

00:18:09.099 --> 00:18:11.619
when<00:18:09.559><c> all</c><00:18:10.019><c> men</c><00:18:10.380><c> and</c><00:18:10.799><c> all</c><00:18:11.099><c> the</c><00:18:11.299><c> earth</c>

00:18:11.619 --> 00:18:13.460
will<00:18:11.880><c> be</c><00:18:12.119><c> filled</c><00:18:12.299><c> with</c><00:18:12.500><c> the</c><00:18:12.640><c> glory</c><00:18:12.839><c> of</c><00:18:12.980><c> God.</c>

00:18:13.740 --> 00:18:15.940
God's<00:18:14.259><c> name</c><00:18:14.619><c> will</c><00:18:15.099><c> be</c><00:18:15.420><c> hallowed.</c>

00:18:15.940 --> 00:18:19.059
So<00:18:16.240><c> to</c><00:18:16.599><c> understand</c><00:18:17.180><c> the</c><00:18:17.680><c> point</c><00:18:17.940><c> of</c><00:18:18.279><c> that</c><00:18:18.559><c> request,</c>

00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:21.740
we<00:18:19.440><c> must</c><00:18:19.660><c> understand</c><00:18:20.160><c> something</c><00:18:20.480><c> of</c><00:18:20.680><c> what</c><00:18:20.779><c> is</c><00:18:20.980><c> generally</c><00:18:21.299><c> referred</c><00:18:21.619><c> to</c>

00:18:21.740 --> 00:18:24.599
by<00:18:21.920><c> Christadelphians</c><00:18:22.579><c> as</c><00:18:22.980><c> the</c><00:18:23.180><c> doctrine</c><00:18:23.400><c> of</c><00:18:23.640><c> God</c><00:18:23.819><c> manifestation.</c>

00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:27.759
That<00:18:25.299><c> God</c><00:18:25.740><c> intends</c><00:18:26.559><c> through</c><00:18:27.039><c> his</c><00:18:27.359><c> son</c>

00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:30.039
and<00:18:28.099><c> those</c><00:18:28.420><c> who</c><00:18:28.579><c> are</c><00:18:28.799><c> righteous</c><00:18:29.119><c> in</c><00:18:29.420><c> his</c><00:18:29.740><c> son</c>

00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:32.380
to<00:18:30.480><c> fill</c><00:18:30.700><c> the</c><00:18:30.900><c> earth</c><00:18:31.099><c> with</c><00:18:31.299><c> his</c><00:18:31.539><c> glory.</c>

00:18:32.420 --> 00:18:35.140
God<00:18:32.660><c> intends</c><00:18:33.079><c> that</c><00:18:33.279><c> his</c><00:18:33.480><c> name</c><00:18:33.759><c> will</c><00:18:34.000><c> be</c><00:18:34.119><c> upon</c><00:18:34.359><c> all</c><00:18:34.779><c> men</c>

00:18:35.140 --> 00:18:37.759
and<00:18:35.660><c> all</c><00:18:35.920><c> men</c><00:18:36.140><c> will</c><00:18:36.400><c> glorify</c><00:18:36.880><c> him.</c>

00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:39.740
As<00:18:38.180><c> Paul</c><00:18:38.420><c> says</c><00:18:38.619><c> in</c><00:18:38.759><c> 1</c><00:18:38.839><c> Corinthians</c><00:18:39.160><c> 15,</c>

00:18:39.940 --> 00:18:42.279
that<00:18:40.140><c> God</c><00:18:40.460><c> will</c><00:18:40.720><c> be</c><00:18:40.960><c> all</c><00:18:41.579><c> in</c><00:18:41.960><c> all.</c>

00:18:42.660 --> 00:18:45.940
So<00:18:43.019><c> to</c><00:18:43.359><c> pray</c><00:18:43.519><c> that</c><00:18:43.759><c> sort</c><00:18:43.940><c> of</c><00:18:44.140><c> prayer</c><00:18:44.359><c> requires</c><00:18:45.099><c> us</c><00:18:45.380><c> to</c><00:18:45.599><c> understand</c>

00:18:45.940 --> 00:18:49.319
something<00:18:46.359><c> of</c><00:18:46.779><c> the</c><00:18:46.920><c> purpose</c><00:18:47.180><c> of</c><00:18:47.420><c> God</c><00:18:47.640><c> as</c><00:18:47.759><c> he</c><00:18:47.920><c> has</c><00:18:48.059><c> already</c><00:18:48.339><c> promised.</c>

00:18:50.220 --> 00:18:52.039
The<00:18:50.440><c> next</c><00:18:50.660><c> two</c><00:18:50.839><c> requests</c><00:18:51.180><c> are</c><00:18:51.319><c> very</c><00:18:51.660><c> similar.</c>

00:18:52.240 --> 00:18:54.240
And<00:18:52.359><c> quite</c><00:18:52.539><c> often</c><00:18:52.779><c> you</c><00:18:52.940><c> see</c><00:18:53.099><c> them</c><00:18:53.559><c> linked</c><00:18:53.799><c> together</c>

00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.500
as<00:18:54.420><c> though</c><00:18:54.519><c> there</c><00:18:54.700><c> were</c><00:18:55.039><c> an</c><00:18:55.319><c> equal</c><00:18:55.539><c> sign</c><00:18:55.880><c> between</c><00:18:56.180><c> the</c><00:18:56.380><c> two.</c>

00:18:56.500 --> 00:18:59.299
In<00:18:56.640><c> other</c><00:18:56.880><c> words,</c><00:18:57.519><c> thy</c><00:18:57.579><c> kingdom</c><00:18:57.980><c> come</c><00:18:58.319><c> equals</c>

00:18:59.299 --> 00:19:02.539
thy<00:18:59.920><c> will</c><00:19:00.420><c> be</c><00:19:00.859><c> done</c><00:19:01.059><c> on</c><00:19:01.359><c> earth</c><00:19:01.599><c> as</c><00:19:01.839><c> it</c><00:19:01.940><c> is</c><00:19:02.099><c> in</c><00:19:02.259><c> heaven.</c>

00:19:02.779 --> 00:19:04.920
And<00:19:02.920><c> that's</c><00:19:03.119><c> true</c><00:19:03.380><c> if</c><00:19:03.519><c> we're</c><00:19:03.680><c> looking</c><00:19:03.880><c> forward</c><00:19:04.240><c> to</c><00:19:04.400><c> the</c><00:19:04.579><c> kingdom.</c>

00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:07.180
That<00:19:05.680><c> only</c><00:19:06.119><c> when</c><00:19:06.299><c> the</c><00:19:06.519><c> kingdom</c><00:19:06.779><c> comes</c>

00:19:07.180 --> 00:19:10.599
will<00:19:07.420><c> God's</c><00:19:07.880><c> will</c><00:19:07.960><c> be</c><00:19:08.200><c> done</c><00:19:08.400><c> perfectly</c><00:19:08.980><c> on</c><00:19:09.579><c> the</c><00:19:09.759><c> earth.</c>

00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:15.700
But<00:19:13.440><c> there</c><00:19:13.960><c> is</c><00:19:14.160><c> a</c><00:19:14.400><c> distinction,</c><00:19:14.720><c> it</c><00:19:14.920><c> seems</c><00:19:15.099><c> to</c><00:19:15.240><c> me,</c><00:19:15.420><c> between</c>

00:19:15.700 --> 00:19:16.799
those<00:19:16.019><c> two.</c>

00:19:17.099 --> 00:19:19.140
We<00:19:17.319><c> can</c><00:19:17.579><c> pray</c><00:19:17.900><c> thy</c><00:19:18.200><c> kingdom</c><00:19:18.660><c> come.</c>

00:19:19.420 --> 00:19:21.059
And<00:19:19.700><c> that's</c><00:19:19.940><c> an</c><00:19:20.140><c> obvious</c><00:19:20.420><c> request</c>

00:19:21.059 --> 00:19:24.059
that<00:19:21.740><c> God</c><00:19:22.240><c> will</c><00:19:22.640><c> send</c><00:19:22.900><c> his</c><00:19:23.140><c> son</c><00:19:23.359><c> back</c><00:19:23.640><c> to</c><00:19:23.779><c> the</c><00:19:23.920><c> earth</c>

00:19:24.059 --> 00:19:25.240
to<00:19:24.279><c> establish</c><00:19:24.680><c> his</c><00:19:24.960><c> kingdom.</c>

00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.359
And<00:19:25.579><c> again,</c><00:19:25.940><c> we</c><00:19:25.960><c> have</c><00:19:26.140><c> to</c><00:19:26.259><c> know</c><00:19:26.359><c> what</c><00:19:26.500><c> it</c><00:19:26.660><c> means</c>

00:19:27.359 --> 00:19:30.039
when<00:19:28.180><c> we</c><00:19:28.480><c> speak</c><00:19:28.660><c> of</c><00:19:28.920><c> the</c><00:19:29.099><c> gospel</c><00:19:29.420><c> of</c><00:19:29.619><c> the</c><00:19:29.740><c> kingdom</c>

00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:32.299
to<00:19:30.400><c> pray</c><00:19:30.660><c> that</c><00:19:30.940><c> prayer</c><00:19:31.200><c> properly.</c>

00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:36.779
But<00:19:32.960><c> the</c><00:19:33.180><c> second</c><00:19:33.420><c> or</c><00:19:33.599><c> the</c><00:19:35.359><c> third</c><00:19:35.579><c> request</c><00:19:36.059><c> that</c><00:19:36.240><c> we</c><00:19:36.460><c> see</c>

00:19:36.779 --> 00:19:39.420
at<00:19:37.039><c> the</c><00:19:37.180><c> last</c><00:19:37.400><c> part</c><00:19:37.539><c> of</c><00:19:37.660><c> verse</c><00:19:37.819><c> 10</c><00:19:38.180><c> is</c><00:19:38.480><c> something</c><00:19:38.799><c> a</c><00:19:38.920><c> little</c><00:19:39.019><c> different.</c>

00:19:39.799 --> 00:19:41.339
We<00:19:39.980><c> know</c><00:19:40.180><c> that</c><00:19:40.279><c> when</c><00:19:40.400><c> the</c><00:19:40.579><c> kingdom</c><00:19:40.819><c> comes,</c>

00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:46.680
God's<00:19:42.099><c> will</c><00:19:42.759><c> will</c><00:19:43.220><c> be</c><00:19:43.500><c> done</c><00:19:43.920><c> on</c><00:19:44.700><c> earth</c><00:19:44.900><c> as</c><00:19:45.039><c> it</c><00:19:45.140><c> is</c><00:19:45.319><c> in</c><00:19:45.460><c> heaven</c><00:19:45.660><c> now.</c>

00:19:46.759 --> 00:19:48.960
But<00:19:46.940><c> let's</c><00:19:47.140><c> think</c><00:19:47.339><c> about</c><00:19:47.740><c> right</c><00:19:48.019><c> now.</c>

00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:54.039
It<00:19:49.759><c> seems</c><00:19:50.039><c> to</c><00:19:50.279><c> me</c><00:19:50.779><c> rather</c><00:19:51.599><c> a</c><00:19:52.920><c> puny</c><00:19:53.259><c> sort</c><00:19:53.480><c> of</c><00:19:53.720><c> prayer</c>

00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:58.259
for<00:19:54.900><c> any</c><00:19:55.079><c> of</c><00:19:55.220><c> us</c><00:19:55.319><c> to</c><00:19:55.619><c> pray</c><00:19:55.980><c> if</c><00:19:56.819><c> we</c><00:19:56.980><c> were</c><00:19:57.119><c> to</c><00:19:57.319><c> say,</c>

00:19:58.640 --> 00:20:01.740
may<00:19:58.640><c> God's</c><00:19:59.140><c> will</c><00:19:59.259><c> be</c><00:19:59.539><c> done</c><00:19:59.839><c> on</c><00:20:00.180><c> earth</c><00:20:00.579><c> in</c><00:20:00.960><c> the</c><00:20:01.119><c> future</c>

00:20:01.740 --> 00:20:04.099

00:22:23.900 --> 00:22:25.500

And<00:22:47.819><c> again,</c>

substance<00:34:34.809><c> to</c><00:34:35.030><c> it</c><00:34:35.170><c> at</c><00:34:35.329><c> all.</c>

00:34:36.389 --> 00:34:38.710
It<00:34:36.610><c> is</c><00:34:36.889><c> that</c><00:34:37.170><c> in</c><00:34:37.409><c> which</c><00:34:37.630><c> man</c><00:34:38.070><c> trusts</c>

00:34:38.710 --> 00:34:40.670

00:34:40.670 --> 00:34:42.949
in<00:34:40.789><c> it</c><00:34:41.250><c> mistakenly.</c>

00:34:43.329 --> 00:34:45.110
It's<00:34:43.610><c> like</c><00:34:43.789><c> the</c><00:34:44.050><c> bruised</c><00:34:44.530><c> reed</c>

00:34:45.110 --> 00:34:46.650

00:34:46.650 --> 00:34:48.750
will<00:34:47.050><c> break</c><00:34:47.409><c> and</c><00:34:47.889><c> pierce</c><00:34:48.269><c> him</c>

00:34:51.489 --> 00:34:52.769
That's<00:34:51.750><c> what</c><00:34:51.929><c> Jesus</c><00:34:52.250><c> says</c>

00:34:52.769 --> 00:34:54.829
about<00:34:53.409><c> the</c><00:34:53.829><c> wealth</c><00:34:54.070><c> of</c><00:34:54.289><c> this</c><00:34:54.530><c> world.</c>

The<00:34:55.409><c> mammon</c><00:34:55.869><c> of</c><00:34:56.269><c> unrighteousness.</c>

00:34:58.369 --> 00:34:59.070
Mammon<00:34:58.550><c> then</c>

00:34:59.070 --> 00:35:00.929
as<00:34:59.469><c> Jesus</c><00:34:59.909><c> expresses</c><00:35:00.349><c> it</c>

00:35:00.929 --> 00:35:02.769
means<00:35:01.530><c> riches,</c><00:35:02.550><c> worldly</c>

00:35:02.769 --> 00:35:04.550

00:35:05.389 --> 00:35:06.989
This<00:35:06.070><c> acquisitiveness</c>

00:35:06.989 --> 00:35:09.050
this<00:35:08.250><c> need</c><00:35:08.670><c> to</c>

00:35:16.909 --> 00:35:18.929
acceptable<00:35:17.610><c> that</c><00:35:18.409><c> it's</c>

00:35:18.929 --> 00:35:20.829

00:35:22.949 --> 00:35:25.170
that<00:35:23.650><c> money</c><00:35:23.849><c> is</c><00:35:24.090><c> not</c><00:35:24.250><c> all</c><00:35:24.429><c> that</c><00:35:24.650><c> important</c>

Of<00:35:32.730><c> course</c><00:35:32.969><c> it's</c>

00:35:33.329 --> 00:35:34.489
important.

00:35:36.869 --> 00:35:39.070
Just<00:35:37.429><c> consider</c><00:35:37.809><c> for</c><00:35:38.030><c> a</c><00:35:38.150><c> moment</c>

00:35:39.289 --> 00:35:40.909

00:35:43.510 --> 00:35:44.369
it'll<00:35:44.070><c> mean</c>

00:35:44.369 --> 00:35:45.590
a<00:35:44.670><c> bit</c><00:35:44.769><c> more</c><00:35:44.989><c> money</c>

00:36:02.849 --> 00:36:05.210
and<00:36:03.369><c> then</c><00:36:03.530><c> we</c><00:36:03.710><c> begin</c><00:36:03.929><c> to</c><00:36:04.230><c> rationalise</c>

00:36:05.210 --> 00:36:05.929
well

00:36:05.929 --> 00:36:07.389
I<00:36:06.150><c> could</c><00:36:06.349><c> use</c><00:36:06.570><c> the</c><00:36:06.750><c> extra</c><00:36:07.030><c> money</c>

00:36:12.170 --> 00:36:13.969
I<00:36:12.329><c> wouldn't</c><00:36:12.510><c> have</c><00:36:12.730><c> to</c><00:36:12.909><c> worry</c><00:36:13.190><c> about</c>

I<00:36:21.650><c> know</c><00:36:21.829><c> it'll</c><00:36:22.070><c> mean</c>

00:36:22.170 --> 00:36:24.809
some<00:36:22.530><c> sacrifices</c><00:36:23.010><c> but</c><00:36:23.269><c> surely</c><00:36:23.530><c> God</c><00:36:23.789><c> will</c><00:36:24.050><c> understand</c>

00:36:25.130 --> 00:36:26.130
and<00:36:25.650><c> pretty</c><00:36:25.969><c> soon</c>

00:36:26.130 --> 00:36:28.010
we've<00:36:26.570><c> rationalised</c><00:36:27.170><c> ourselves</c>

00:36:28.010 --> 00:36:29.690
into<00:36:28.909><c> accepting</c>

00:36:34.469 --> 00:36:35.869
we<00:36:34.989><c> stopped</c><00:36:35.269><c> a</c><00:36:35.449><c> little</c><00:36:35.610><c> bit</c>

00:36:35.869 --> 00:36:37.150
we<00:36:36.130><c> thought</c><00:36:36.269><c> about</c><00:36:36.550><c> it</c><00:36:36.690><c> a</c><00:36:36.750><c> little</c><00:36:36.929><c> bit</c>

00:36:37.150 --> 00:36:39.210
we<00:36:37.449><c> questioned</c><00:36:37.929><c> a</c><00:36:38.570><c> little</c><00:36:38.809><c> bit</c>

00:36:39.210 --> 00:36:40.750

00:36:41.110 --> 00:36:43.130
Consider<00:36:41.630><c> the</c><00:36:42.150><c> world</c><00:36:42.550><c> around</c><00:36:42.929><c> us</c>

you<00:42:02.070><c> needn't</c><00:42:02.329><c> worry</c><00:42:02.590><c> about</c><00:42:02.809><c> doing</c><00:42:03.090><c> a</c><00:42:03.269><c> job</c>

00:42:03.570 --> 00:42:05.489
wherever<00:42:04.570><c> you</c><00:42:04.849><c> happen</c><00:42:05.030><c> to</c><00:42:05.250><c> work</c>

00:42:05.489 --> 00:42:06.730
because<00:42:05.909><c> you</c><00:42:06.369><c> should</c>

00:42:06.730 --> 00:42:09.889
and<00:42:07.329><c> there</c><00:42:07.510><c> is</c><00:42:07.670><c> a</c><00:42:07.789><c> reason</c><00:42:08.110><c> provided</c><00:42:08.610><c> for</c><00:42:08.989><c> that</c>

00:42:09.750 --> 00:42:11.610
as<00:42:10.030><c> Jesus</c><00:42:10.369><c> says</c><00:42:10.710><c> and</c><00:42:10.869><c> as</c><00:42:11.090><c> Paul</c><00:42:11.289><c> says</c>

00:42:11.610 --> 00:42:12.550
and<00:42:11.809><c> I'm</c><00:42:12.070><c> paraphrasing</c>

00:42:12.550 --> 00:42:16.170
we<00:42:13.070><c> must</c><00:42:13.429><c> serve</c><00:42:14.250><c> our</c><00:42:15.150><c> earthly</c><00:42:15.530><c> masters</c>

00:42:16.170 --> 00:42:18.090

00:42:18.090 --> 00:42:19.750
we<00:42:18.469><c> must</c><00:42:18.670><c> be</c><00:42:18.949><c> honest</c><00:42:19.250><c> with</c><00:42:19.530><c> them</c>

00:42:19.750 --> 00:42:21.489
we<00:42:20.030><c> must</c><00:42:20.210><c> be</c><00:42:20.429><c> hard</c><00:42:20.710><c> working</c><00:42:20.989><c> with</c><00:42:21.250><c> them</c>

00:42:21.489 --> 00:42:24.409

00:42:24.409 --> 00:42:26.349
in<00:42:24.690><c> exchange</c><00:42:25.070><c> for</c><00:42:25.230><c> what</c><00:42:25.369><c> they're</c><00:42:25.650><c> giving</c><00:42:25.869><c> us</c>

00:42:26.349 --> 00:42:28.409

00:42:28.409 --> 00:42:29.809
for<00:42:28.789><c> doing</c><00:42:29.010><c> a</c><00:42:29.210><c> good</c><00:42:29.409><c> job</c>

00:42:32.030 --> 00:42:33.570
however<00:42:32.510><c> you</c><00:42:32.690><c> want</c><00:42:32.829><c> to</c><00:42:32.969><c> express</c><00:42:33.230><c> that</c>

00:42:33.570 --> 00:42:34.429
at<00:42:33.909><c> your</c><00:42:34.150><c> job</c>

00:42:34.429 --> 00:42:37.250
you<00:42:34.769><c> are</c><00:42:35.030><c> doing</c><00:42:35.269><c> what</c><00:42:35.510><c> you</c><00:42:35.769><c> can</c><00:42:35.989><c> to</c><00:42:36.170><c> the</c><00:42:36.269><c> best</c><00:42:36.489><c> of</c><00:42:36.670><c> your</c><00:42:36.809><c> ability</c>

00:42:37.250 --> 00:42:39.050
because<00:42:37.789><c> God</c><00:42:38.090><c> has</c><00:42:38.349><c> told</c><00:42:38.489><c> you</c><00:42:38.750><c> to</c>

00:42:39.050 --> 00:42:41.409
not<00:42:39.409><c> because</c><00:42:39.750><c> of</c><00:42:39.849><c> what</c><00:42:39.969><c> you're</c><00:42:40.170><c> going</c><00:42:40.230><c> to</c><00:42:40.309><c> get</c><00:42:40.449><c> out</c><00:42:40.630><c> of</c><00:42:40.710><c> it</c><00:42:40.849><c> right</c><00:42:41.070><c> now</c>

00:42:41.909 --> 00:42:43.090
if<00:42:42.389><c> that</c><00:42:42.590><c> were</c><00:42:42.710><c> the</c><00:42:42.889><c> case</c>

00:42:43.090 --> 00:42:44.989
then<00:42:43.250><c> you'd</c><00:42:43.409><c> be</c><00:42:43.469><c> just</c><00:42:43.690><c> like</c><00:42:44.190><c> the</c><00:42:44.489><c> Pharisees</c>

00:42:44.989 --> 00:42:46.110
and<00:42:45.110><c> the</c><00:42:45.269><c> hypocrites</c>

00:42:46.110 --> 00:42:48.230
who<00:42:46.610><c> have</c><00:42:46.829><c> their</c><00:42:47.070><c> reward</c><00:42:47.510><c> now</c>

00:42:48.230 --> 00:42:50.829

00:42:52.030 --> 00:42:52.510
so

00:42:52.510 --> 00:42:54.469
nothing<00:42:53.110><c> I'm</c><00:42:53.349><c> saying</c><00:42:53.570><c> should</c><00:42:53.750><c> be</c><00:42:54.010><c> interpreted</c>

00:43:05.170 --> 00:43:06.809
that's<00:43:06.030><c> just</c><00:43:06.210><c> not</c><00:43:06.469><c> true</c>

00:43:06.809 --> 00:43:08.829
we<00:43:07.210><c> should</c><00:43:07.489><c> do</c><00:43:07.690><c> the</c><00:43:07.849><c> best</c><00:43:08.050><c> we</c><00:43:08.289><c> can</c>
