Brother<00:00:20.199><c> Dave.</c>

00:00:25.219 --> 00:00:29.019
Mechanically<00:00:25.719><c> inclined</c><00:00:26.179><c> brothers</c><00:00:26.480><c> and</c><00:00:26.760><c> sisters,</c><00:00:27.660><c> if</c><00:00:27.839><c> anything</c><00:00:28.120><c> can</c><00:00:28.399><c> happen</c><00:00:28.719><c> to</c>

00:00:29.980 --> 00:00:32.340
it's<00:00:30.440><c> happened</c><00:00:30.699><c> to</c><00:00:30.899><c> me</c><00:00:31.000><c> at</c><00:00:31.120><c> least</c><00:00:31.339><c> once.</c>

00:00:32.619 --> 00:00:36.640
I<00:00:32.780><c> remember</c><00:00:33.020><c> once</c><00:00:33.500><c> taking</c><00:00:34.299><c> the</c><00:00:34.579><c> covering</c><00:00:34.780><c> off</c><00:00:35.119><c> the</c><00:00:35.359><c> emblems,</c>

00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.759
the<00:00:36.880><c> wine</c><00:00:37.479><c> falling</c><00:00:37.979><c> down,</c><00:00:39.140><c> both</c><00:00:39.500><c> cups</c>

00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:43.460
in<00:00:41.920><c> slow</c><00:00:42.200><c> motion.</c>

00:00:47.259 --> 00:00:53.880
And<00:00:47.560><c> all</c><00:00:47.880><c> I</c><00:00:48.179><c> remember</c><00:00:48.399><c> was</c><00:00:48.979><c> a</c><00:00:49.439><c> frozen</c><00:00:49.740><c> moment</c><00:00:50.100><c> of</c><00:00:50.359><c> time</c><00:00:51.159><c> and</c><00:00:51.740><c> brethren</c><00:00:52.060><c> running</c><00:00:52.500><c> slowly</c><00:00:52.920><c> around</c><00:00:53.219><c> me</c>

00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:58.079
and<00:00:54.219><c> then</c><00:00:54.600><c> replacing</c><00:00:54.920><c> everything</c><00:00:55.520><c> on</c><00:00:56.079><c> the</c><00:00:56.340><c> table</c><00:00:56.780><c> and</c><00:00:57.780><c> then</c>

00:00:58.079 --> 00:00:59.340
we<00:00:58.280><c> continued.</c>

00:01:00.380 --> 00:01:02.579
Another<00:01:00.659><c> time</c><00:01:00.899><c> I</c><00:01:01.100><c> dropped</c><00:01:01.320><c> the</c><00:01:01.539><c> microphone</c><00:01:01.960><c> into</c><00:01:02.219><c> the</c><00:01:02.380><c> glass</c>

00:01:02.579 --> 00:01:06.819
of<00:01:02.859><c> water</c><00:01:03.100><c> on</c><00:01:03.439><c> top</c><00:01:03.640><c> of</c><00:01:03.939><c> the...</c>

00:01:07.060 --> 00:01:09.599
It<00:01:07.359><c> didn't</c><00:01:07.620><c> work</c><00:01:07.859><c> so</c><00:01:08.099><c> well</c><00:01:08.239><c> after</c><00:01:08.540><c> that.</c>

00:01:10.959 --> 00:01:11.980
So<00:01:11.219><c> these...</c>

00:01:11.980 --> 00:01:13.620
I'm<00:01:12.200><c> accident</c><00:01:12.640><c>-prone.</c>

00:01:14.459 --> 00:01:17.480
Nevertheless,<00:01:15.140><c> brothers</c><00:01:15.219><c> and</c><00:01:15.480><c> sisters,</c><00:01:15.939><c> we</c><00:01:16.739><c> go</c><00:01:17.060><c> back</c><00:01:17.280><c> into</c>

00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:19.099
James<00:01:17.760><c> chapter</c><00:01:18.060><c> one.</c>

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.420
Remember<00:01:19.640><c> this</c><00:01:20.000><c> was</c><00:01:20.700><c> a</c><00:01:21.000><c> letter</c><00:01:21.200><c> written</c><00:01:21.480><c> to</c><00:01:21.700><c> people</c><00:01:22.000><c> in</c><00:01:22.299><c> difficult</c><00:01:22.780><c> times</c>

00:01:23.420 --> 00:01:26.060
in<00:01:24.819><c> which</c><00:01:25.099><c> the</c><00:01:25.540><c> truth</c><00:01:25.780><c> was</c>

00:01:26.060 --> 00:01:32.659
being<00:01:26.480><c> preached</c><00:01:27.260><c> and</c><00:01:28.260><c> yet</c><00:01:28.480><c> the</c><00:01:28.920><c> truth</c><00:01:29.519><c> in</c><00:01:30.640><c> its</c><00:01:31.819><c> manifestation</c>

00:01:32.659 --> 00:01:35.620
and<00:01:32.959><c> behavior</c><00:01:33.400><c> was</c><00:01:33.659><c> very</c><00:01:34.040><c> difficult</c><00:01:34.420><c> to</c><00:01:34.719><c> live.</c>

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:44.099
The<00:01:36.900><c> circumstances</c><00:01:37.439><c> were</c><00:01:39.079><c> circumstances</c><00:01:40.040><c> of</c><00:01:40.340><c> trial,</c><00:01:41.099><c> tribulation,</c><00:01:42.420><c> persecution</c><00:01:43.000><c> and</c><00:01:43.980><c> a</c>

00:01:44.099 --> 00:01:45.400
real<00:01:44.659><c> need</c><00:01:45.140><c> for</c>

00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.859
for<00:01:45.840><c> some</c><00:01:46.200><c> in</c><00:01:47.099><c> the</c><00:01:47.299><c> brotherhood</c><00:01:47.599><c> at</c><00:01:47.780><c> that</c><00:01:47.980><c> time.</c>

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.359
And<00:01:49.780><c> these</c><00:01:50.299><c> kinds</c><00:01:50.680><c> of</c><00:01:51.099><c> difficulties</c><00:01:51.400><c> brought</c><00:01:51.700><c> out</c><00:01:51.879><c> the</c><00:01:52.099><c> best</c>

00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.760
in<00:01:52.599><c> that</c><00:01:52.760><c> the</c><00:01:52.980><c> word</c><00:01:53.299><c> was</c><00:01:54.219><c> taken</c><00:01:54.599><c> from</c><00:01:54.900><c> Jerusalem</c>

00:01:55.760 --> 00:02:01.180
to<00:01:56.859><c> Judea,</c><00:01:57.859><c> then</c><00:01:58.060><c> out</c><00:01:58.299><c> to</c><00:01:58.480><c> Samaria,</c><00:01:59.480><c> but</c><00:01:59.780><c> it</c><00:02:00.180><c> also</c><00:02:00.579><c> tended</c><00:02:00.859><c> to</c>

00:02:01.180 --> 00:02:03.200
bring<00:02:01.319><c> out</c><00:02:01.980><c> the</c><00:02:02.239><c> worst.</c>

00:02:03.340 --> 00:02:10.219
Those<00:02:03.819><c> things</c><00:02:04.120><c> that</c><00:02:04.420><c> the</c><00:02:04.640><c> Ecclesia</c><00:02:05.019><c> needed</c><00:02:05.359><c> to</c><00:02:05.640><c> look</c><00:02:05.840><c> at</c><00:02:07.079><c> which</c><00:02:08.099><c> needed</c><00:02:08.560><c> attention</c><00:02:09.259><c> and</c>

00:02:10.219 --> 00:02:10.919
required<00:02:10.659><c> them</c>

00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.500
to<00:02:11.180><c> make</c><00:02:11.560><c> an</c><00:02:11.960><c> effort</c><00:02:12.159><c> to</c><00:02:12.460><c> rectify.</c>

00:02:13.930 --> 00:02:16.560
So<00:02:14.300><c> when</c><00:02:14.460><c> we</c><00:02:14.599><c> go</c><00:02:14.780><c> back</c><00:02:14.939><c> into</c><00:02:15.139><c> James</c><00:02:15.439><c> chapter</c><00:02:15.819><c> one,</c><00:02:16.460><c> beginning</c>

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.060
at<00:02:16.759><c> verse</c><00:02:16.979><c> 13,</c><00:02:17.979><c> remember</c><00:02:18.340><c> we</c><00:02:18.520><c> left</c><00:02:18.800><c> off</c>

00:02:19.060 --> 00:02:25.520
yesterday<00:02:19.560><c> with</c><00:02:20.960><c> the</c><00:02:22.180><c> comment</c><00:02:22.659><c> made</c><00:02:23.000><c> by</c><00:02:23.580><c> James</c><00:02:24.199><c> that</c><00:02:24.719><c> there</c><00:02:24.939><c> is</c><00:02:25.199><c> a</c>

00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:28.979
crown<00:02:25.860><c> of</c><00:02:26.340><c> life</c><00:02:27.000><c> that</c><00:02:28.159><c> we</c><00:02:28.340><c> can</c><00:02:28.620><c> look</c>

00:02:28.979 --> 00:02:36.479
forward<00:02:29.479><c> to</c><00:02:30.680><c> once</c><00:02:32.199><c> we</c><00:02:32.800><c> hold</c><00:02:33.259><c> on</c><00:02:33.800><c> through</c><00:02:34.520><c> the</c><00:02:35.699><c> trials</c><00:02:36.020><c> and</c><00:02:36.219><c> the</c>

00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:39.099
difficulties<00:02:37.039><c> of</c><00:02:37.780><c> the</c><00:02:38.139><c> moment</c><00:02:38.620><c> of</c><00:02:38.840><c> the</c>

00:02:39.099 --> 00:02:41.400
life<00:02:39.639><c> that</c><00:02:40.080><c> we</c><00:02:40.280><c> live</c><00:02:40.439><c> today.</c>

00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:46.300
And<00:02:42.400><c> then</c><00:02:42.539><c> he</c><00:02:42.620><c> says</c><00:02:42.840><c> in</c><00:02:43.020><c> verse</c><00:02:43.240><c> 13,</c><00:02:45.060><c> let</c><00:02:45.180><c> no</c><00:02:45.539><c> man</c><00:02:45.780><c> say</c><00:02:45.979><c> when</c><00:02:46.120><c> he</c>

00:02:46.300 --> 00:02:48.520
is<00:02:46.479><c> tempted,</c><00:02:47.319><c> I'm</c><00:02:47.580><c> tempted</c><00:02:47.840><c> of</c><00:02:48.099><c> God,</c>

00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:52.240
for<00:02:49.060><c> God</c><00:02:49.379><c> cannot</c><00:02:49.719><c> be</c><00:02:50.099><c> tempted</c><00:02:50.479><c> with</c><00:02:50.780><c> evil,</c><00:02:51.680><c> neither</c><00:02:51.960><c> tempted</c>

00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:53.719
he<00:02:52.539><c> any</c><00:02:52.840><c> man.</c>

00:02:53.979 --> 00:02:58.919
Now<00:02:54.259><c> remember</c><00:02:54.539><c> before</c><00:02:54.900><c> he</c><00:02:55.099><c> had</c><00:02:55.280><c> said</c><00:02:55.639><c> God</c><00:02:56.580><c> gives</c><00:02:57.199><c> liberally.</c>

00:02:58.960 --> 00:03:04.419
He's<00:02:59.479><c> not</c><00:02:59.759><c> duplicitous,</c><00:03:00.479><c> there's</c><00:03:00.759><c> no</c><00:03:01.439><c> doubleness</c><00:03:02.219><c> in</c><00:03:03.520><c> God.</c>

00:03:04.659 --> 00:03:06.919
The<00:03:05.000><c> double</c><00:03:05.199><c> mindedness</c><00:03:05.780><c> is</c><00:03:05.919><c> something</c><00:03:06.199><c> that</c><00:03:06.419><c> can</c><00:03:06.639><c> afflict</c>

00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.060
us<00:03:07.439><c> as</c><00:03:07.759><c> human</c><00:03:07.919><c> beings,</c><00:03:08.199><c> but</c><00:03:08.419><c> God</c><00:03:08.719><c> isn't</c>

00:03:09.060 --> 00:03:09.400
that<00:03:09.280><c> way.</c>

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.759

00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:42.000
There's<00:08:36.960><c> an</c><00:08:37.159><c> anger</c><00:08:37.480><c> and</c><00:08:37.700><c> a</c><00:08:38.000><c> rage</c><00:08:38.419><c> that</c><00:08:38.600><c> He</c><00:08:38.940><c> directs</c><00:08:40.440><c> at</c><00:08:40.720><c> Christ.</c>

00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:51.340

00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:12.240

00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:16.299
It's<00:09:12.820><c> almost</c><00:09:12.940><c> as</c><00:09:13.120><c> if</c><00:09:13.159><c> He's</c><00:09:13.320><c> saying,</c><00:09:14.960><c> you</c><00:09:15.320><c> can</c><00:09:15.559><c> get</c><00:09:15.759><c> me</c><00:09:15.960><c> out</c><00:09:16.139><c> of</c>

00:09:32.759 --> 00:09:37.419
Well,<00:09:33.200><c> it</c><00:09:33.299><c> says,</c><00:09:35.080><c> the</c><00:09:35.259><c> other</c><00:09:35.820><c> answered,</c><00:09:36.700><c> revised</c><00:09:37.059><c> version,</c>

rebuking<00:09:38.019><c> Him</c><00:09:38.240><c> said,</c>

00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.399
Are<00:09:43.600><c> you</c><00:09:43.799><c> afraid</c><00:09:44.159><c> of</c><00:09:44.419><c> no</c><00:09:44.580><c> one</c><00:09:44.799><c> at</c><00:09:45.120><c> all,</c><00:09:45.379><c> not</c><00:09:45.639><c> even</c><00:09:45.940><c> God?</c>

00:09:46.399 --> 00:09:51.120
Seeing<00:09:47.500><c> that</c><00:09:47.860><c> you</c><00:09:48.080><c> are</c><00:09:48.299><c> in</c><00:09:48.399><c> the</c><00:09:48.659><c> same</c><00:09:49.039><c> condemnation,</c><00:09:50.740><c> and</c><00:09:50.899><c> we</c>

00:09:55.580 --> 00:09:58.299
man<00:09:55.860><c> hath</c><00:09:56.120><c> done</c><00:09:56.299><c> nothing</c><00:09:56.600><c> amiss.</c>

00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:06.100
And<00:09:59.279><c> then</c><00:09:59.460><c> he</c><00:09:59.559><c> turns</c><00:09:59.960><c> to</c><00:10:00.220><c> Jesus,</c><00:10:01.799><c> and</c><00:10:04.019><c> He</c><00:10:04.200><c> says</c><00:10:04.480><c> to</c><00:10:04.679><c> him,</c>

00:10:15.100 --> 00:10:18.000
I<00:10:15.580><c> don't</c><00:10:15.840><c> know</c><00:10:16.000><c> where</c><00:10:16.240><c> that</c><00:10:16.440><c> man</c><00:10:16.659><c> got</c><00:10:16.840><c> his</c><00:10:17.059><c> knowledge.</c>

00:10:19.659 --> 00:10:23.419

00:10:28.059 --> 00:10:30.279
There's<00:10:28.200><c> John</c><00:10:28.460><c> the</c><00:10:28.639><c> Baptist</c><00:10:29.019><c> who</c><00:10:29.200><c> looks</c><00:10:29.399><c> into</c><00:10:29.679><c> the</c><00:10:29.860><c> distance</c>

00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:31.799
and<00:10:30.519><c> says,</c>

00:10:33.019 --> 00:10:35.860
Behold<00:10:33.480><c> the</c><00:10:33.679><c> Lamb</c><00:10:34.159><c> of</c><00:10:34.519><c> God.</c>

00:10:36.980 --> 00:10:39.299
He<00:10:37.399><c> knew</c><00:10:37.559><c> He</c><00:10:37.720><c> was</c><00:10:37.919><c> going</c><00:10:38.080><c> to</c><00:10:38.299><c> die.</c>

00:10:39.620 --> 00:10:42.340
No<00:10:40.399><c> one</c><00:10:40.600><c> else</c><00:10:40.879><c> knew</c><00:10:41.019><c> that.</c>

00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:49.460
Then<00:10:44.039><c> there's</c><00:10:44.340><c> Mary</c><00:10:44.879><c> who</c><00:10:47.179><c> washes</c><00:10:47.679><c> His</c><00:10:48.320><c> feet</c>

00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:03.519
And<00:11:00.879><c> Christ</c><00:11:01.039><c> says,</c><00:11:01.399><c> She's</c><00:11:01.720><c> getting</c><00:11:01.879><c> me</c><00:11:02.080><c> ready</c><00:11:02.240><c> for</c><00:11:02.419><c> my</c><00:11:02.620><c> burial.</c>

00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:08.000
No<00:11:05.120><c> doubt</c><00:11:05.360><c> there</c><00:11:05.500><c> was</c><00:11:05.879><c> some</c><00:11:06.240><c> kind</c><00:11:06.559><c> of</c><00:11:06.980><c> insight</c><00:11:07.299><c> into</c><00:11:07.620><c> the</c><00:11:07.840><c> fact</c>

00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:13.340
She<00:11:10.539><c> may</c><00:11:10.700><c> not</c><00:11:10.840><c> have</c><00:11:11.000><c> had</c><00:11:11.139><c> it</c><00:11:11.299><c> all</c><00:11:11.480><c> worked</c><00:11:11.720><c> out</c><00:11:12.000><c> because</c><00:11:12.159><c> she</c><00:11:12.320><c> was</c><00:11:12.539><c> crying</c><00:11:13.039><c> at</c>

and<00:11:42.659><c> You</c><00:11:42.820><c> got</c><00:11:43.039><c> me</c><00:11:43.279><c> into</c><00:11:43.440><c> this.</c>

00:11:46.100 --> 00:11:49.039
Or<00:11:46.440><c> we</c><00:11:46.580><c> can</c><00:11:46.799><c> have</c><00:11:46.980><c> the</c><00:11:47.200><c> response</c><00:11:47.539><c> of</c><00:11:47.740><c> this</c><00:11:47.980><c> man,</c>

00:11:51.740 --> 00:11:53.899
Lord,<00:11:52.179><c> remember</c><00:11:52.620><c> me.</c>

00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.820
He<00:11:55.120><c> knew</c><00:11:55.700><c> that</c><00:11:56.299><c> He</c><00:11:56.399><c> would</c><00:11:56.679><c> come</c><00:11:57.000><c> back</c><00:11:57.460><c> off</c><00:11:57.940><c> that</c><00:11:58.320><c> cross,</c>

bloody<00:11:59.580><c>-popped</c><00:11:59.960><c> though</c><00:12:00.080><c> He</c><00:12:00.159><c> was,</c>

00:12:01.220 --> 00:12:04.720

00:12:04.860 --> 00:12:08.759
the<00:12:05.159><c> blue</c><00:12:05.480><c>-black</c><00:12:05.820><c> swelling,</c><00:12:06.679><c> the</c><00:12:06.899><c> punctures</c><00:12:07.299><c> on</c><00:12:07.460><c> His</c><00:12:07.759><c> face,</c>

00:12:09.299 --> 00:12:13.159
the<00:12:09.600><c> infection</c><00:12:10.039><c> of</c><00:12:10.179><c> His</c><00:12:10.419><c> forehead</c><00:12:10.820><c> from</c><00:12:11.080><c> what</c><00:12:12.019><c> had</c><00:12:12.440><c> gone</c><00:12:12.679><c> in</c>

00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:14.440
from<00:12:13.379><c> the</c><00:12:13.559><c> crown,</c>

00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:19.120
the<00:12:15.279><c> wheels</c><00:12:15.679><c> on</c><00:12:15.840><c> His</c><00:12:16.139><c> back,</c><00:12:17.059><c> the</c><00:12:17.299><c> ripping</c><00:12:17.580><c> open</c><00:12:17.940><c> of</c><00:12:18.120><c> His</c><00:12:18.299><c> ribcage,</c>

00:12:19.299 --> 00:12:21.600
the<00:12:19.700><c> exposure</c><00:12:20.120><c> of</c><00:12:20.320><c> His</c><00:12:20.539><c> ribs,</c>

00:12:22.360 --> 00:12:24.000
all<00:12:23.000><c> of</c><00:12:23.259><c> these</c><00:12:23.480><c> things.</c>

00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:29.419
He<00:12:24.399><c> looked</c><00:12:24.600><c> at</c><00:12:24.820><c> all</c><00:12:25.039><c> that</c><00:12:25.399><c> and</c><00:12:25.720><c> saw</c><00:12:26.100><c> past</c><00:12:26.559><c> it</c><00:12:27.500><c> to</c><00:12:28.000><c> His</c><00:12:28.320><c> glory.</c>

00:12:30.539 --> 00:12:32.320
Remember<00:12:31.179><c> me.</c>

00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:35.580
When<00:12:33.919><c> you</c><00:12:34.120><c> come</c><00:12:34.320><c> in</c><00:12:34.419><c> your</c><00:12:34.600><c> kingdom,</c>

00:12:37.500 --> 00:12:42.580
in<00:12:38.100><c> great</c><00:12:38.460><c> trial,</c><00:12:40.080><c> in</c><00:12:40.279><c> great</c><00:12:40.600><c> turmoil</c><00:12:41.000><c> in</c><00:12:41.240><c> our</c><00:12:41.419><c> lives,</c>

00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:46.320
when<00:12:43.539><c> we</c><00:12:43.840><c> struggle</c><00:12:44.159><c> to</c><00:12:44.399><c> hold</c><00:12:44.700><c> on</c><00:12:45.000><c> to</c><00:12:45.200><c> God,</c>

00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:50.200
there<00:12:47.620><c> are</c><00:12:48.039><c> spiritual</c><00:12:48.539><c> insights</c><00:12:49.039><c> that</c><00:12:49.360><c> can</c><00:12:49.559><c> come</c><00:12:49.799><c> to</c><00:12:50.019><c> us,</c>

00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:54.539
that<00:12:50.419><c> come</c><00:12:50.639><c> at</c><00:12:50.899><c> no</c><00:12:51.139><c> other</c><00:12:51.600><c> time,</c><00:12:53.039><c> no</c><00:12:53.259><c> other</c><00:12:53.539><c> time.</c>

00:12:55.019 --> 00:12:58.100
And<00:12:55.159><c> this</c><00:12:55.399><c> man's</c><00:12:55.899><c> insight</c><00:12:56.179><c> was</c><00:12:56.679><c> glorious.</c>

00:12:58.779 --> 00:13:02.480
So<00:12:59.100><c> there</c><00:12:59.340><c> then,</c><00:12:59.820><c> perhaps</c><00:13:00.159><c> we</c><00:13:00.419><c> have</c><00:13:01.159><c> an</c><00:13:01.779><c> illustration</c>

00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:08.179
of<00:13:03.200><c> the</c><00:13:03.399><c> two</c><00:13:03.639><c> ways,</c><00:13:04.899><c> the</c><00:13:05.039><c> two</c><00:13:05.259><c> directions</c><00:13:05.639><c> we</c><00:13:05.860><c> can</c><00:13:06.100><c> take</c><00:13:06.639><c> in</c><00:13:07.340><c> trial.</c>

00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:12.620
But<00:13:09.000><c> there</c><00:13:09.240><c> is</c><00:13:09.559><c> the</c><00:13:09.899><c> risk,</c><00:13:10.500><c> we</c><00:13:10.759><c> do</c><00:13:11.059><c> run</c><00:13:11.259><c> that</c><00:13:11.580><c> risk,</c>

00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:15.480
that<00:13:13.240><c> we</c><00:13:13.419><c> could</c><00:13:13.639><c> blame</c><00:13:13.919><c> God</c><00:13:14.179><c> for</c><00:13:14.399><c> our</c><00:13:14.620><c> trials.</c>

00:13:15.899 --> 00:13:17.019
So<00:13:16.120><c> He</c><00:13:16.360><c> deals</c><00:13:16.720><c> with</c><00:13:16.919><c> it.</c>

00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.120
He<00:13:17.080><c> takes</c><00:13:17.340><c> it</c><00:13:17.580><c> head</c><00:13:17.820><c>-on,</c><00:13:18.080><c> James</c><00:13:18.379><c> does,</c><00:13:18.600><c> and</c><00:13:18.700><c> then</c><00:13:18.840><c> He</c><00:13:18.879><c> keeps</c>

00:13:19.120 --> 00:13:19.899
going<00:13:19.440><c> forward,</c>

00:13:20.299 --> 00:13:25.440
and<00:13:20.299><c> He</c><00:13:20.460><c> says,</c><00:13:22.419><c> look,</c><00:13:23.899><c> verse</c><00:13:24.059><c> 14,</c>

00:13:25.559 --> 00:13:29.220
every<00:13:25.919><c> man</c><00:13:26.120><c> is</c><00:13:26.340><c> tempted</c><00:13:26.580><c> when</c><00:13:26.740><c> he's</c><00:13:27.080><c> drawn</c><00:13:27.320><c> away</c><00:13:27.679><c> of</c><00:13:28.080><c> his</c><00:13:28.299><c> own</c><00:13:28.600><c> lust</c>

00:13:29.220 --> 00:13:30.720
and<00:13:29.879><c> enticed.</c>

00:13:31.139 --> 00:13:34.559
The<00:13:31.259><c> word</c><00:13:31.340><c> means</c><00:13:31.799><c> lured,</c><00:13:33.220><c> pulled</c><00:13:33.460><c> away.</c>

00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:39.759
He's<00:13:35.240><c> drawn</c><00:13:35.600><c> away</c><00:13:36.360><c> by</c><00:13:36.960><c> his</c><00:13:37.200><c> own</c><00:13:37.419><c> lust,</c><00:13:38.620><c> and</c><00:13:38.720><c> he's</c><00:13:39.019><c> enticed.</c>

00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:43.659
Draw<00:13:40.580><c> away</c><00:13:40.919><c> means</c><00:13:41.279><c> to</c><00:13:41.500><c> lure,</c><00:13:42.019><c> and</c><00:13:42.259><c> entice</c><00:13:42.799><c> means</c><00:13:43.120><c> to</c><00:13:43.440><c> catch</c>

00:13:43.659 --> 00:13:44.799
using<00:13:44.200><c> bait,</c>

00:13:45.279 --> 00:13:46.860
like<00:13:45.440><c> a</c><00:13:45.720><c> fish</c><00:13:45.940><c> hook.</c>

00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:51.919
So<00:13:47.500><c> here's</c><00:13:47.799><c> the</c><00:13:47.940><c> man,</c><00:13:50.399><c> his</c><00:13:50.700><c> mind,</c>

00:13:53.159 --> 00:13:55.519
and<00:13:53.360><c> in</c><00:13:53.500><c> it</c><00:13:53.659><c> there</c><00:13:53.879><c> is</c><00:13:54.259><c> lust,</c>

00:13:56.500 --> 00:13:59.879
and<00:13:56.600><c> the</c><00:13:56.799><c> lust,</c><00:13:57.419><c> the</c><00:13:57.799><c> strong</c><00:13:58.200><c> desire</c><00:13:58.759><c> for</c><00:13:59.159><c> something</c>

00:13:59.879 --> 00:14:06.559
or<00:14:00.340><c> some</c><00:14:01.559><c> pleasure</c><00:14:02.240><c> or</c><00:14:03.580><c> some</c><00:14:04.960><c> situation</c>

00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:11.059
that<00:14:07.200><c> might</c><00:14:07.500><c> get</c><00:14:07.740><c> him</c><00:14:07.940><c> out</c><00:14:08.240><c> of</c><00:14:09.019><c> doing</c><00:14:09.320><c> the</c><00:14:09.639><c> right</c><00:14:09.960><c> thing.</c>

00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:15.779
His<00:14:12.720><c> mind</c><00:14:13.039><c> and</c><00:14:13.279><c> his</c><00:14:13.580><c> lust</c><00:14:13.899><c> come</c><00:14:15.000><c> together</c>

00:14:15.779 --> 00:14:18.980
when<00:14:16.720><c> lust</c><00:14:17.100><c> hath</c><00:14:17.519><c> conceived.</c>

00:14:19.659 --> 00:14:21.799
That's<00:14:19.940><c> when</c><00:14:20.000><c> it's</c><00:14:20.220><c> gotten</c><00:14:20.500><c> pregnant.</c>

00:14:22.220 --> 00:14:26.100
It<00:14:22.440><c> bringeth</c><00:14:22.759><c> forth,</c><00:14:22.919><c> it</c><00:14:23.240><c> gives</c><00:14:23.559><c> birth</c><00:14:24.159><c> to</c><00:14:25.179><c> sin.</c>

00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:29.320
But<00:14:27.759><c> just</c><00:14:27.960><c> think</c><00:14:28.200><c> of</c><00:14:28.419><c> that.</c>

00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:33.259
I<00:14:30.179><c> have</c><00:14:30.419><c> a</c><00:14:30.620><c> thing</c><00:14:30.820><c> in</c><00:14:31.179><c> me,</c><00:14:31.320><c> in</c><00:14:31.559><c> my</c><00:14:31.860><c> head,</c><00:14:32.220><c> in</c><00:14:32.340><c> my</c><00:14:32.600><c> heart,</c>

00:14:33.259 --> 00:14:36.840
which<00:14:34.480><c> if</c><00:14:34.700><c> I</c><00:14:34.899><c> respond</c><00:14:35.360><c> to</c><00:14:35.580><c> it,</c>

00:14:37.460 --> 00:14:42.539
it's<00:14:38.179><c> like</c><00:14:38.899><c> an</c><00:14:40.340><c> inappropriate,</c><00:14:41.480><c> unholy</c><00:14:41.940><c> union</c>

00:14:42.539 --> 00:14:45.460
between<00:14:43.179><c> a</c><00:14:43.419><c> man</c><00:14:43.600><c> and</c><00:14:43.779><c> a</c><00:14:43.980><c> strange</c><00:14:44.279><c> woman.</c>

00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:50.519
It's<00:14:48.340><c> like</c><00:14:48.539><c> Proverbs</c><00:14:49.000><c> 7</c><00:14:49.360><c>-9</c><00:14:49.720><c> illustrated.</c>

00:14:50.899 --> 00:14:54.379
That's<00:14:51.100><c> what</c><00:14:51.179><c> this</c><00:14:51.440><c> is,</c><00:14:52.039><c> or</c><00:14:52.179><c> at</c><00:14:52.240><c> least</c><00:14:53.179><c> interpreted.</c>

00:14:54.919 --> 00:14:59.100
Remember<00:14:55.460><c> the</c><00:14:56.039><c> words</c><00:14:56.559><c> in</c><00:14:56.899><c> Proverbs</c><00:14:57.240><c> 7</c><00:14:58.059><c>-9</c><00:14:58.320><c> about</c><00:14:58.600><c> wisdom,</c>

00:14:59.139 --> 00:15:00.559
who<00:14:59.299><c> is</c><00:14:59.440><c> represented</c><00:14:59.860><c> as</c><00:15:00.080><c> a</c><00:15:00.220><c> woman,</c>

00:15:00.559 --> 00:15:03.299
and<00:15:01.600><c> then</c><00:15:01.700><c> there</c><00:15:01.980><c> is</c><00:15:02.159><c> the</c><00:15:02.440><c> strange</c><00:15:02.879><c> woman</c>

00:15:03.299 --> 00:15:06.120
who<00:15:03.620><c> waylays</c><00:15:04.080><c> the</c><00:15:04.259><c> young</c><00:15:04.460><c> man</c><00:15:04.679><c> and</c><00:15:05.200><c> carries</c><00:15:05.600><c> him</c><00:15:05.820><c> off,</c>

00:15:06.179 --> 00:15:08.000
drawing<00:15:06.539><c> him</c><00:15:06.740><c> into</c><00:15:07.039><c> sin.</c>

00:15:10.120 --> 00:15:14.059
That's<00:15:10.860><c> like</c><00:15:11.559><c> an</c><00:15:11.820><c> interpretation</c><00:15:12.320><c> of</c><00:15:12.659><c> those</c><00:15:13.080><c> passages.</c>

00:15:15.899 --> 00:15:20.080
And<00:15:16.080><c> when</c><00:15:16.559><c> it</c><00:15:16.940><c> says</c><00:15:17.840><c> sin,</c><00:15:18.580><c> when</c><00:15:18.799><c> it</c><00:15:19.019><c> is</c><00:15:19.419><c> finished,</c>

00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:25.000
when<00:15:20.379><c> it's</c><00:15:20.940><c> full</c><00:15:21.279><c> grown,</c><00:15:22.679><c> well,</c><00:15:22.899><c> it</c><00:15:23.080><c> brings</c><00:15:23.440><c> forth</c><00:15:23.840><c> death.</c>

00:15:25.720 --> 00:15:28.779
Now,<00:15:26.720><c> these</c><00:15:27.100><c> are</c><00:15:27.259><c> wonderful</c><00:15:27.580><c> passages</c>

00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:31.620
in<00:15:29.720><c> dealing</c><00:15:30.200><c> with</c><00:15:30.480><c> somebody</c><00:15:30.899><c> on</c><00:15:31.120><c> the</c><00:15:31.259><c> outside</c>

00:15:31.620 --> 00:15:34.620
who<00:15:31.820><c> believes</c><00:15:32.100><c> in</c><00:15:32.360><c> a</c><00:15:32.620><c> devil</c><00:15:32.899><c> or</c><00:15:33.159><c> an</c><00:15:33.340><c> immortal</c><00:15:33.860><c> fiend</c>

00:15:34.620 --> 00:15:36.940
that<00:15:35.200><c> makes</c><00:15:35.580><c> people</c><00:15:35.840><c> do</c><00:15:36.000><c> the</c><00:15:36.139><c> wrong</c><00:15:36.360><c> thing,</c>

00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:42.539
because<00:15:37.919><c> what</c><00:15:38.279><c> the</c><00:15:38.500><c> Bible</c><00:15:38.759><c> tells</c><00:15:39.100><c> us</c><00:15:39.419><c> is</c><00:15:39.980><c> that</c><00:15:40.799><c> we</c><00:15:41.480><c> are</c><00:15:42.039><c> the</c><00:15:42.200><c> ones</c>

00:15:42.799 --> 00:15:46.500
who<00:15:43.299><c> are</c><00:15:43.639><c> drawn</c><00:15:43.860><c> away</c><00:15:44.179><c> by</c><00:15:44.460><c> our</c><00:15:44.779><c> own</c><00:15:44.980><c> lust</c><00:15:45.240><c> inside</c><00:15:45.700><c> of</c><00:15:45.940><c> ourselves,</c>

00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:49.139
the<00:15:47.220><c> strange</c><00:15:47.679><c> woman</c><00:15:48.100><c> within.</c>

00:15:49.179 --> 00:15:53.879
But<00:15:49.340><c> we</c><00:15:49.700><c> fail</c><00:15:50.000><c> to</c><00:15:50.259><c> take</c><00:15:50.519><c> heed</c><00:15:50.779><c> to</c><00:15:51.480><c> the</c><00:15:51.879><c> other</c><00:15:52.200><c> woman,</c><00:15:53.059><c> wisdom,</c>

00:15:53.879 --> 00:15:59.460
which<00:15:54.960><c> has</c><00:15:55.460><c> its</c><00:15:56.279><c> foundation</c><00:15:56.840><c> in</c><00:15:57.480><c> the</c><00:15:57.659><c> Word</c><00:15:57.879><c> of</c><00:15:58.080><c> God.</c>

00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:04.580
And<00:16:01.000><c> then</c><00:16:01.460><c> that</c><00:16:02.220><c> union</c><00:16:02.860><c> leads</c><00:16:03.399><c> to</c><00:16:03.700><c> sin,</c>

00:16:04.639 --> 00:16:06.820
which,<00:16:05.139><c> if</c><00:16:05.460><c> we</c><00:16:05.659><c> continue</c><00:16:06.120><c> living</c><00:16:06.340><c> that</c><00:16:06.620><c> way,</c>

00:16:06.940 --> 00:16:08.299
leads<00:16:07.259><c> to</c><00:16:07.500><c> death</c><00:16:07.700><c> and</c><00:16:07.879><c> no</c><00:16:08.059><c> hope.</c>

00:16:08.360 --> 00:16:12.159
We<00:16:08.500><c> perish</c><00:16:09.080><c> out</c><00:16:09.419><c> of</c><00:16:09.600><c> hand,</c><00:16:11.059><c> no</c><00:16:11.299><c> hope.</c>

00:16:12.700 --> 00:16:14.100
So<00:16:12.879><c> it's</c><00:16:13.000><c> a</c><00:16:13.139><c> warning</c><00:16:13.360><c> he's</c><00:16:13.639><c> giving</c><00:16:13.919><c> them.</c>

00:16:14.279 --> 00:16:15.299
He's<00:16:14.320><c> saying,</c><00:16:14.580><c> don't</c><00:16:14.720><c> blame</c><00:16:14.980><c> God,</c>

00:16:15.419 --> 00:16:18.340
but<00:16:15.679><c> look</c><00:16:15.940><c> at</c><00:16:16.220><c> how</c><00:16:16.879><c> sin</c><00:16:17.220><c> occurs</c><00:16:17.600><c> in</c><00:16:17.740><c> your</c><00:16:17.960><c> life.</c>

00:16:18.740 --> 00:16:21.679
When<00:16:19.179><c> you</c><00:16:19.460><c> do</c><00:16:19.659><c> the</c><00:16:19.899><c> wrong</c><00:16:20.179><c> thing</c><00:16:20.480><c> in</c><00:16:20.679><c> the</c><00:16:20.940><c> circumstances</c><00:16:21.460><c> of</c>

00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:22.139
your<00:16:21.860><c> life,</c>

00:16:22.139 --> 00:16:27.220
in<00:16:22.419><c> the</c><00:16:22.580><c> midst</c><00:16:22.740><c> of</c><00:16:22.919><c> your</c><00:16:23.139><c> trials,</c><00:16:25.240><c> remember</c><00:16:25.679><c> your</c><00:16:26.039><c> responsibility.</c>

00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:29.720
But<00:16:27.460><c> he</c><00:16:27.539><c> doesn't</c><00:16:27.759><c> just</c><00:16:28.019><c> leave</c><00:16:28.139><c> us</c><00:16:28.299><c> hanging</c><00:16:28.600><c> with</c><00:16:29.000><c> no</c><00:16:29.299><c> hope</c>

00:16:29.720 --> 00:16:31.059
beyond<00:16:30.159><c> that.</c>

00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.240
He<00:16:31.600><c> gives</c><00:16:31.840><c> us</c><00:16:32.039><c> something</c><00:16:32.299><c> to</c><00:16:32.539><c> hold</c><00:16:32.779><c> on</c><00:16:33.080><c> to.</c>

00:16:33.399 --> 00:16:38.480
He<00:16:33.399><c> says,</c><00:16:34.200><c> look,</c><00:16:35.299><c> do</c><00:16:35.720><c> not</c><00:16:36.340><c> err,</c><00:16:36.700><c> my</c><00:16:36.879><c> beloved</c><00:16:37.399><c> brethren.</c>

00:16:38.840 --> 00:16:39.820
Don't<00:16:39.200><c> fool</c><00:16:39.539><c> yourself.</c>

00:16:39.879 --> 00:16:42.200
Don't<00:16:40.120><c> kid</c><00:16:40.379><c> yourselves,</c><00:16:40.960><c> as</c><00:16:41.139><c> we</c><00:16:41.320><c> say</c><00:16:41.399><c> in</c><00:16:41.539><c> North</c><00:16:41.779><c> America.</c>

00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:44.379
Don't<00:16:42.820><c> be</c><00:16:43.179><c> deceived.</c>

00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:48.679
Understand<00:16:45.759><c> what</c><00:16:45.940><c> the</c><00:16:46.179><c> source</c><00:16:46.360><c> of</c><00:16:46.720><c> sin</c><00:16:47.139><c> in</c><00:16:47.799><c> your</c><00:16:48.019><c> life</c><00:16:48.240><c> is.</c>

00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:51.360
He<00:16:49.120><c> says,</c><00:16:49.919><c> but</c><00:16:49.980><c> every</c><00:16:50.399><c> good</c><00:16:50.779><c> gift</c>

00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:55.220

00:16:55.220 --> 00:16:58.480
and<00:16:55.879><c> cometh</c><00:16:56.080><c> from</c><00:16:56.320><c> the</c><00:16:56.639><c> Father</c><00:16:56.940><c> of</c><00:16:57.240><c> lights.</c>

00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:01.120
Every<00:16:59.779><c> good</c><00:17:00.100><c> gift.</c>

00:17:02.460 --> 00:17:04.180
Well,<00:17:02.720><c> some</c><00:17:02.980><c> commentators</c><00:17:03.519><c> look</c><00:17:03.740><c> at</c><00:17:03.980><c> that</c>

00:17:04.180 --> 00:17:10.180

00:17:16.680 --> 00:17:19.119
But<00:17:17.160><c> it's</c><00:17:17.400><c> more</c><00:17:17.559><c> than</c><00:17:17.839><c> that.</c>

00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:24.839
It's<00:17:20.299><c> love,</c><00:17:21.319><c> joy,</c><00:17:22.319><c> peace,</c><00:17:23.920><c> all</c><00:17:24.180><c> of</c><00:17:24.359><c> these</c><00:17:24.539><c> things</c>

00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:35.940

All<00:17:36.700><c> of</c><00:17:36.920><c> these</c><00:17:37.059><c> are</c><00:17:37.319><c> things</c><00:17:37.519><c> that</c><00:17:37.660><c> come</c><00:17:37.819><c> from</c><00:17:37.960><c> the</c><00:17:38.099><c> outside.</c>

00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:57.960
Every<00:17:51.599><c> good</c><00:17:52.160><c> gift,</c><00:17:53.400><c> every</c><00:17:53.700><c> mature,</c><00:17:55.000><c> complete,</c><00:17:56.420><c> perfect</c><00:17:57.180><c> gift</c>

to<00:18:08.400><c> feel</c><00:18:08.599><c> as</c><00:18:08.740><c> if</c><00:18:08.940><c> somehow</c><00:18:09.240><c> or</c><00:18:09.420><c> the</c><00:18:09.519><c> other</c>

00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:15.480
because<00:18:12.180><c> we</c><00:18:13.039><c> learn</c><00:18:13.579><c> to</c><00:18:14.019><c> do</c><00:18:14.279><c> the</c><00:18:14.440><c> right</c><00:18:14.700><c> thing.</c>

00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:19.019
Oh,<00:18:16.319><c> so</c><00:18:16.559><c> subtle</c><00:18:16.880><c> and</c><00:18:17.180><c> evil</c><00:18:17.440><c> is</c><00:18:17.680><c> our</c><00:18:17.839><c> nature,</c><00:18:18.480><c> though.</c>

00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:32.799
You<00:18:29.119><c> know,</c><00:18:29.220><c> in</c><00:18:29.339><c> the</c><00:18:29.500><c> workplace</c><00:18:29.839><c> we</c><00:18:30.059><c> see</c><00:18:30.220><c> that</c><00:18:30.440><c> a</c><00:18:30.579><c> lot,</c><00:18:31.720><c> don't</c><00:18:31.920><c> we?</c>

00:18:32.859 --> 00:18:36.400
We<00:18:33.220><c> see</c><00:18:33.380><c> that</c><00:18:33.579><c> in</c><00:18:33.740><c> every</c><00:18:33.960><c> corporation</c><00:18:34.660><c> or</c><00:18:35.180><c> every</c><00:18:35.400><c> government</c><00:18:35.839><c> office</c>

00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:43.240
There's<00:18:40.960><c> always,</c><00:18:41.559><c> there's</c><00:18:42.299><c> always</c><00:18:42.759><c> somebody</c>

00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:47.680
that's<00:18:43.660><c> willing</c><00:18:43.839><c> to</c><00:18:44.119><c> take</c><00:18:44.319><c> credit</c><00:18:44.680><c> for</c><00:18:44.839><c> what</c><00:18:45.059><c> you</c><00:18:45.279><c> have</c><00:18:45.500><c> done,</c><00:18:46.700><c> right?</c>

00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:50.119
Some<00:18:48.400><c> cynic</c><00:18:48.700><c> has</c><00:18:48.839><c> said</c><00:18:49.000><c> that</c><00:18:49.200><c> the</c><00:18:49.359><c> world</c><00:18:49.579><c> consists</c>

00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:52.079

00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:53.740
those<00:18:52.579><c> that</c><00:18:52.740><c> are</c><00:18:52.900><c> willing</c><00:18:53.039><c> to</c><00:18:53.359><c> work</c>

00:18:53.740 --> 00:18:57.859
and<00:18:54.339><c> those</c><00:18:54.539><c> that</c><00:18:54.660><c> are</c><00:18:54.779><c> willing</c><00:18:54.960><c> to</c><00:18:55.160><c> let</c><00:18:55.380><c> them,</c><00:18:57.000><c> right?</c>

00:18:58.140 --> 00:19:00.299
But<00:18:58.420><c> there's</c><00:18:58.640><c> some</c><00:18:58.799><c> truth</c><00:18:59.039><c> to</c><00:18:59.259><c> that.</c>

00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:01.980
Sadly,<00:19:00.619><c> there's</c><00:19:00.920><c> also</c><00:19:01.200><c> some</c><00:19:01.440><c> truth</c><00:19:01.619><c> to</c><00:19:01.819><c> that</c>

00:19:01.980 --> 00:19:03.960

00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:08.480
But<00:19:05.940><c> we</c><00:19:06.500><c> are</c><00:19:06.819><c> always</c><00:19:07.200><c> willing</c><00:19:07.559><c> as</c><00:19:07.859><c> human</c><00:19:08.079><c> beings</c>

00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:12.019
to<00:19:09.359><c> take</c><00:19:09.680><c> credit</c><00:19:10.059><c> for</c><00:19:10.279><c> what</c><00:19:10.440><c> is</c><00:19:10.640><c> not</c><00:19:10.880><c> ours.</c>

00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:16.700
Whatever<00:19:13.019><c> we</c><00:19:13.259><c> do</c><00:19:13.400><c> of</c><00:19:13.599><c> any</c><00:19:13.819><c> value,</c><00:19:15.240><c> of</c><00:19:15.319><c> any</c><00:19:15.660><c> merit,</c>

00:19:17.200 --> 00:19:20.740
of<00:19:17.319><c> any</c><00:19:17.599><c> worth</c><00:19:18.160><c> comes</c><00:19:19.539><c> from</c><00:19:19.819><c> God.</c>

00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:23.900
Think<00:19:21.799><c> of</c><00:19:21.940><c> yourself</c><00:19:22.259><c> 20</c><00:19:22.619><c> years</c><00:19:22.960><c> ago.</c>

00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:26.200
Think<00:19:24.640><c> of</c><00:19:24.779><c> yourself</c><00:19:25.099><c> now.</c>

00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:29.480
Any<00:19:27.180><c> development</c><00:19:27.680><c> that's</c><00:19:28.019><c> occurred</c><00:19:28.200><c> in</c><00:19:28.359><c> your</c><00:19:28.579><c> life,</c>

00:19:29.500 --> 00:19:32.259
any<00:19:29.880><c> transformation,</c><00:19:30.940><c> any</c><00:19:31.180><c> growth,</c>

00:19:32.500 --> 00:19:33.700

00:19:33.720 --> 00:19:35.980
If<00:19:33.839><c> you</c><00:19:34.000><c> look</c><00:19:34.420><c> deep</c><00:19:34.759><c> down</c><00:19:34.980><c> inside,</c>

00:19:36.380 --> 00:19:39.720
none<00:19:36.859><c> of</c><00:19:37.140><c> it</c><00:19:37.619><c> was</c><00:19:38.019><c> natural</c><00:19:38.420><c> to</c><00:19:38.660><c> you.</c>

00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:41.480
None<00:19:40.200><c> of</c><00:19:40.319><c> it</c><00:19:40.460><c> is</c><00:19:40.700><c> natural</c><00:19:41.019><c> to</c><00:19:41.259><c> us.</c>

00:19:41.900 --> 00:19:43.680
There's<00:19:42.180><c> joy</c><00:19:42.480><c> in</c><00:19:42.740><c> that</c><00:19:42.859><c> because</c><00:19:43.160><c> it</c><00:19:43.359><c> means</c>

00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:46.559
He's<00:19:44.400><c> always</c><00:19:44.799><c> working</c><00:19:45.099><c> as</c><00:19:45.359><c> long</c><00:19:45.500><c> as</c><00:19:45.680><c> the</c><00:19:45.839><c> Word</c><00:19:46.019><c> is</c><00:19:46.220><c> in</c><00:19:46.339><c> us</c>

00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:49.200
and<00:19:46.779><c> being</c><00:19:47.119><c> put</c><00:19:47.480><c> into</c><00:19:47.759><c> us</c><00:19:48.039><c> through</c><00:19:48.259><c> reading.</c>

00:19:49.859 --> 00:19:51.640
So<00:19:49.980><c> it's</c><00:19:50.339><c> not</c><00:19:50.420><c> something</c><00:19:50.660><c> to</c><00:19:50.839><c> feel,</c>

00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:54.720
oh,<00:19:51.759><c> I'm</c><00:19:52.359><c> bad</c><00:19:52.619><c> and</c><00:19:52.839><c> evil</c><00:19:52.980><c> and</c><00:19:53.140><c> there's</c><00:19:53.359><c> no</c><00:19:53.500><c> hope</c><00:19:53.680><c> for</c><00:19:53.859><c> me.</c>

00:19:55.259 --> 00:19:57.079
Yes,<00:19:55.500><c> you're</c><00:19:55.680><c> bad</c><00:19:55.900><c> and</c><00:19:56.119><c> evil.</c><00:19:56.299><c> It's</c><00:19:56.480><c> your</c><00:19:56.640><c> nature.</c>

00:19:57.319 --> 00:19:59.880
But<00:19:57.539><c> God</c><00:19:57.839><c> is</c><00:19:58.119><c> giving</c><00:19:58.319><c> you</c><00:19:58.660><c> an</c><00:19:58.880><c> infusion</c>

00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:03.900
every<00:20:00.579><c> day</c><00:20:00.839><c> that</c><00:20:01.000><c> you're</c><00:20:01.220><c> in</c><00:20:01.319><c> His</c><00:20:01.559><c> Word,</c><00:20:02.660><c> every</c><00:20:03.059><c> day.</c>

00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:06.579
Oh,<00:20:04.519><c> but</c><00:20:04.619><c> I'll</c><00:20:04.799><c> tell</c><00:20:04.900><c> you</c><00:20:05.039><c> something</c><00:20:05.299><c> I</c><00:20:05.619><c> did.</c>

00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:07.960
I<00:20:07.079><c> always</c><00:20:07.220><c> ask</c><00:20:07.400><c> this</c><00:20:07.559><c> question.</c>

00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:10.579
I<00:20:08.440><c> asked</c><00:20:08.579><c> the</c><00:20:08.819><c> kids,</c><00:20:09.640><c> how</c><00:20:09.740><c> many</c><00:20:10.019><c> of</c><00:20:10.220><c> them</c>

00:20:13.440 --> 00:20:17.519
And<00:20:13.759><c> two</c><00:20:13.940><c> people</c><00:20:14.259><c> out</c><00:20:14.440><c> of</c><00:20:14.680><c> 33</c><00:20:15.200><c> young</c><00:20:15.619><c> people</c><00:20:15.819><c> put</c><00:20:16.019><c> their</c><00:20:16.180><c> hands</c><00:20:16.400><c> up.</c>

00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:20.119
So<00:20:19.160><c> I</c><00:20:19.240><c> shared</c><00:20:19.380><c> that</c><00:20:19.559><c> with</c><00:20:19.720><c> one</c><00:20:19.900><c> parent.</c>

00:20:20.140 --> 00:20:22.680
She<00:20:20.259><c> said,</c><00:20:20.539><c> all</c><00:20:20.740><c> right,</c><00:20:21.559><c> go</c><00:20:21.859><c> back</c><00:20:22.140><c> and</c><00:20:22.319><c> ask</c><00:20:22.480><c> them</c>

00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:25.900
how<00:20:22.940><c> many</c><00:20:23.380><c> do</c><00:20:23.740><c> it,</c><00:20:24.660><c> but</c><00:20:24.900><c> not</c><00:20:25.180><c> every</c><00:20:25.539><c> night.</c>

00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:27.880
And<00:20:26.539><c> everybody</c><00:20:26.819><c> put</c><00:20:27.000><c> their</c><00:20:27.220><c> hand</c><00:20:27.380><c> up,</c>

00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:30.099
which<00:20:28.180><c> was</c><00:20:28.440><c> real</c><00:20:28.680><c> good</c><00:20:28.940><c> news,</c><00:20:29.640><c> wasn't</c><00:20:29.819><c> it?</c>

00:20:30.099 --> 00:20:33.059
It<00:20:30.759><c> means</c><00:20:31.059><c> that</c><00:20:31.319><c> people</c><00:20:31.579><c> are</c><00:20:31.920><c> trying</c><00:20:32.119><c> to</c><00:20:32.319><c> do</c><00:20:32.420><c> the</c><00:20:32.660><c> readings.</c>

00:20:33.460 --> 00:20:35.759
All<00:20:33.740><c> of</c><00:20:33.900><c> you</c><00:20:34.019><c> are</c><00:20:34.220><c> trying</c><00:20:34.380><c> to</c><00:20:34.519><c> do</c><00:20:34.619><c> the</c><00:20:34.779><c> readings.</c>

00:20:37.140 --> 00:20:38.539
There<00:20:37.259><c> may</c><00:20:37.400><c> be</c><00:20:37.579><c> the</c><00:20:37.740><c> night</c><00:20:37.900><c> that</c><00:20:38.079><c> you</c><00:20:38.299><c> miss</c>

00:20:38.539 --> 00:20:40.299
or<00:20:38.940><c> the</c><00:20:39.099><c> night</c><00:20:39.299><c> or</c><00:20:39.539><c> two,</c><00:20:39.779><c> depending</c><00:20:40.119><c> on</c>

00:20:40.299 --> 00:20:42.160
what's<00:20:40.579><c> going</c><00:20:40.819><c> on</c><00:20:41.000><c> in</c><00:20:41.140><c> your</c><00:20:41.339><c> life.</c>

00:20:42.640 --> 00:20:44.299
Maybe<00:20:42.900><c> you're</c><00:20:43.079><c> off</c><00:20:43.240><c> to</c><00:20:43.339><c> a</c><00:20:43.500><c> Bible</c><00:20:43.619><c> class</c><00:20:43.940><c> one</c><00:20:44.160><c> night</c>

00:20:44.299 --> 00:20:46.819
and,<00:20:44.859><c> well,</c><00:20:45.180><c> it</c><00:20:45.400><c> isn't</c><00:20:45.920><c> possible</c><00:20:46.460><c> to</c><00:20:46.700><c> get</c>

00:20:46.819 --> 00:20:49.180
the<00:20:47.000><c> whole</c><00:20:47.160><c> family</c><00:20:47.480><c> together</c><00:20:47.799><c> to</c><00:20:48.000><c> do</c><00:20:48.160><c> the</c><00:20:48.359><c> readings.</c>

00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:52.819
But<00:20:49.680><c> you're</c><00:20:50.079><c> trying.</c><00:20:51.279><c> That's</c><00:20:51.720><c> wonderful.</c>

00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:55.920
All<00:20:53.880><c> the</c><00:20:54.079><c> ideas</c><00:20:54.319><c> and</c><00:20:54.539><c> notions</c><00:20:54.799><c> about</c><00:20:55.019><c> the</c><00:20:55.220><c> truth</c><00:20:55.400><c> is</c><00:20:55.599><c> crumbling</c>

00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:58.099
and<00:20:56.099><c> it's</c><00:20:56.359><c> falling</c><00:20:56.480><c> apart</c><00:20:56.880><c> and</c><00:20:57.039><c> the</c><00:20:57.200><c> Ecclesiast</c><00:20:57.480><c> is</c><00:20:57.480><c> going</c><00:20:57.779><c> downhill.</c>

00:20:58.099 --> 00:20:59.980
It's<00:20:58.660><c> always</c><00:20:58.940><c> been</c><00:20:59.200><c> going</c><00:20:59.519><c> downhill.</c>

00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:01.500
It's<00:21:00.500><c> always</c><00:21:00.799><c> been</c><00:21:01.059><c> crumbling.</c>

00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:03.019
It's<00:21:01.960><c> always</c><00:21:02.259><c> been</c><00:21:02.460><c> in</c><00:21:02.640><c> trouble.</c>

00:21:03.480 --> 00:21:05.000
And<00:21:03.660><c> it's</c><00:21:03.859><c> always</c><00:21:04.160><c> had</c><00:21:04.359><c> the</c><00:21:04.539><c> word</c><00:21:04.640><c> of</c><00:21:04.880><c> God</c>

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:07.359
to<00:21:05.220><c> pull</c><00:21:05.339><c> it</c><00:21:05.539><c> back</c><00:21:05.700><c> up</c><00:21:05.900><c> and</c><00:21:06.140><c> strengthen</c><00:21:06.400><c> it.</c>

00:21:07.599 --> 00:21:10.200
Always.<00:21:08.740><c> You</c><00:21:08.859><c> look</c><00:21:09.000><c> at</c><00:21:09.220><c> Corinth.</c>

00:21:10.799 --> 00:21:12.640
Look<00:21:10.940><c> at</c><00:21:11.079><c> Galatia.</c><00:21:11.819><c> Look</c><00:21:11.980><c> at</c><00:21:12.160><c> Ephesus.</c>

00:21:13.039 --> 00:21:14.740
These<00:21:13.240><c> were</c><00:21:13.480><c> Ecclesias</c><00:21:13.799><c> with</c><00:21:14.059><c> problems,</c>

00:21:14.980 --> 00:21:17.059
having<00:21:15.299><c> a</c><00:21:15.599><c> hard</c><00:21:15.920><c> time</c><00:21:16.279><c> living</c><00:21:16.619><c> the</c><00:21:16.920><c> truth</c>

00:21:17.059 --> 00:21:18.859
and<00:21:17.180><c> holding</c><00:21:17.480><c> on</c><00:21:17.799><c> to</c><00:21:18.039><c> it.</c>

00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:20.500
So<00:21:19.559><c> we're</c><00:21:19.740><c> no</c><00:21:19.900><c> different</c><00:21:20.160><c> to</c><00:21:20.359><c> them.</c>

00:21:20.720 --> 00:21:21.859
Different<00:21:21.079><c> circumstances.</c>

00:21:21.940 --> 00:21:24.839
We<00:21:22.099><c> have</c><00:21:22.259><c> more</c><00:21:22.559><c> technologies,</c><00:21:23.480><c> et</c><00:21:23.519><c> cetera,</c><00:21:23.920><c> et</c><00:21:24.019><c> cetera.</c>

00:21:25.339 --> 00:21:28.539
But<00:21:25.859><c> we</c><00:21:26.339><c> are</c><00:21:26.759><c> struggling</c><00:21:27.180><c> and</c><00:21:27.660><c> striving</c>

00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:31.519
with<00:21:29.160><c> the</c><00:21:29.359><c> word</c><00:21:29.480><c> of</c><00:21:29.740><c> God</c><00:21:30.240><c> to</c><00:21:30.900><c> do</c><00:21:31.059><c> the</c><00:21:31.279><c> right</c><00:21:31.400><c> thing.</c>

00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:33.619
The<00:21:31.799><c> truth</c><00:21:32.000><c> is</c><00:21:32.160><c> being</c><00:21:32.440><c> preached</c><00:21:32.759><c> all</c><00:21:33.039><c> around</c><00:21:33.220><c> the</c><00:21:33.420><c> world</c>

00:21:33.619 --> 00:21:35.680
like<00:21:33.799><c> it</c><00:21:34.000><c> never</c><00:21:34.200><c> has</c><00:21:34.440><c> been</c><00:21:34.599><c> before.</c>

00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:40.200
So<00:21:36.559><c> then</c><00:21:37.180><c> he</c><00:21:38.019><c> goes</c><00:21:38.279><c> on</c><00:21:38.500><c> and</c><00:21:38.660><c> he</c><00:21:38.799><c> says,</c>

00:21:43.079 --> 00:21:44.619
verse<00:21:43.599><c> 17,</c>

00:21:45.059 --> 00:21:46.079
every<00:21:45.279><c> one</c><00:21:45.400><c> of</c><00:21:45.539><c> these</c><00:21:45.720><c> gifts</c>

00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:48.799
comes<00:21:46.720><c> from</c><00:21:46.920><c> the</c><00:21:47.180><c> father</c><00:21:47.400><c> of</c><00:21:47.720><c> lights.</c>

00:21:49.359 --> 00:21:50.380
What<00:21:49.660><c> lights?</c>

00:21:50.380 --> 00:21:54.559
Well,<00:21:52.039><c> that</c><00:21:52.039><c> word</c><00:21:52.240><c> lights</c><00:21:52.500><c> was</c><00:21:52.759><c> used</c><00:21:52.980><c> by</c>

00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:58.000
worldly,<00:21:55.480><c> profane,</c><00:21:56.640><c> classical</c><00:21:57.140><c> Greek</c><00:21:57.480><c> writers</c>

00:21:58.000 --> 00:22:01.119
to<00:21:59.160><c> mean</c><00:21:59.579><c> the</c><00:22:00.039><c> planets.</c>

00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:05.740
Christ<00:22:03.480><c> was</c><00:22:03.740><c> the</c><00:22:03.980><c> light</c><00:22:04.279><c> of</c><00:22:04.460><c> the</c><00:22:04.660><c> world.</c>

00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:09.140
He<00:22:06.859><c> came</c><00:22:07.119><c> into</c><00:22:07.339><c> all</c><00:22:07.559><c> of</c><00:22:07.700><c> its</c><00:22:07.859><c> darkness</c>

00:22:10.220 --> 00:22:13.259
to<00:22:10.940><c> its</c><00:22:11.200><c> great</c><00:22:11.480><c> and</c><00:22:11.700><c> enveloping</c><00:22:12.119><c> night.</c>

00:22:14.299 --> 00:22:17.000
And<00:22:14.759><c> He</c><00:22:14.920><c> spoke</c><00:22:15.119><c> words</c><00:22:15.400><c> of</c><00:22:15.759><c> truth</c>

00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:20.019
which<00:22:17.680><c> were</c><00:22:17.960><c> light</c><00:22:18.420><c> in</c><00:22:18.839><c> that</c><00:22:19.039><c> darkness.</c>

00:22:21.140 --> 00:22:23.180
He<00:22:21.460><c> told</c><00:22:21.680><c> us</c><00:22:22.119><c> that</c><00:22:22.359><c> we</c><00:22:22.680><c> too</c>

00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:27.079
are<00:22:24.140><c> the</c><00:22:24.359><c> light</c><00:22:24.799><c> of</c><00:22:25.200><c> the</c><00:22:25.380><c> world</c><00:22:25.640><c> in</c><00:22:25.799><c> which</c><00:22:25.940><c> we</c><00:22:26.160><c> live.</c>

00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:30.640
We're<00:22:28.640><c> told</c><00:22:28.740><c> to</c><00:22:28.940><c> Daniel</c><00:22:29.180><c> that</c><00:22:29.380><c> those</c><00:22:29.619><c> that</c><00:22:29.900><c> bring</c>

00:22:34.099 --> 00:22:37.839
will<00:22:34.740><c> shine,</c><00:22:35.900><c> shine</c><00:22:36.339><c> as</c><00:22:36.559><c> the</c><00:22:36.799><c> stars.</c>

00:22:39.460 --> 00:22:41.240
One<00:22:40.099><c> day,</c>

00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:44.559
when<00:22:41.380><c> Christ</c><00:22:41.700><c> went</c><00:22:41.940><c> up</c><00:22:42.180><c> onto</c><00:22:42.380><c> the</c><00:22:42.559><c> Mount</c><00:22:42.700><c> of</c><00:22:42.940><c> Transfiguration,</c>

00:22:44.720 --> 00:22:48.480
they<00:22:45.240><c> had</c><00:22:45.720><c> a</c><00:22:46.279><c> snapshot</c><00:22:46.779><c> of</c><00:22:47.259><c> what</c><00:22:47.519><c> He</c><00:22:47.700><c> would</c><00:22:47.880><c> look</c><00:22:48.099><c> like</c>

00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:50.039
in<00:22:48.980><c> the</c><00:22:49.160><c> kingdom.</c>

00:22:50.779 --> 00:22:53.579
That's<00:22:51.099><c> what</c><00:22:51.240><c> He</c><00:22:51.759><c> will</c><00:22:51.920><c> look</c><00:22:52.099><c> like</c><00:22:52.240><c> in</c><00:22:52.380><c> the</c><00:22:52.559><c> kingdom,</c>

00:22:53.960 --> 00:22:55.380
full<00:22:54.180><c> of</c><00:22:54.420><c> light.</c>

00:22:56.240 --> 00:22:58.019
When<00:22:56.480><c> Moses</c><00:22:56.799><c> was</c><00:22:57.000><c> in</c><00:22:57.140><c> the</c><00:22:57.299><c> presence</c><00:22:57.519><c> of</c><00:22:57.799><c> God,</c>

00:22:58.299 --> 00:22:59.700
His<00:22:58.599><c> face</c><00:22:58.940><c> glowed.</c>

00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:01.960
It<00:23:00.339><c> was</c><00:23:00.640><c> frightening</c><00:23:01.079><c> when</c><00:23:01.259><c> He</c><00:23:01.400><c> came</c><00:23:01.660><c> down.</c>

00:23:01.960 --> 00:23:02.960
He<00:23:02.079><c> had</c><00:23:02.200><c> to</c><00:23:02.319><c> cover</c><00:23:02.480><c> His</c><00:23:02.740><c> face</c>

00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:04.920
because<00:23:03.220><c> people</c><00:23:03.440><c> were</c><00:23:03.700><c> scared</c><00:23:03.880><c> of</c><00:23:04.019><c> Him.</c>

00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:09.720
God's<00:23:06.539><c> Word</c><00:23:06.799><c> had</c><00:23:07.220><c> so</c><00:23:08.180><c> gotten</c><00:23:08.920><c> into</c><00:23:09.200><c> His</c><00:23:09.460><c> mind,</c>

00:23:09.980 --> 00:23:12.380
it<00:23:10.259><c> shone</c><00:23:10.440><c> right</c><00:23:10.740><c> out</c><00:23:10.900><c> of</c><00:23:11.000><c> His</c><00:23:11.220><c> face.</c>

00:23:15.259 --> 00:23:19.299
Christ<00:23:15.859><c> showed</c><00:23:16.460><c> forth</c><00:23:16.819><c> the</c><00:23:17.019><c> light</c><00:23:17.160><c> of</c><00:23:17.380><c> His</c><00:23:17.640><c> Father's</c><00:23:18.180><c> character</c>

00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:23.079
in<00:23:20.359><c> what</c><00:23:20.500><c> He</c><00:23:20.680><c> did</c><00:23:21.079><c> and</c><00:23:21.319><c> the</c><00:23:21.500><c> words</c><00:23:21.619><c> that</c><00:23:21.779><c> He</c><00:23:21.960><c> spoke.</c>

00:23:23.859 --> 00:23:27.960
And<00:23:24.420><c> we</c><00:23:24.619><c> are</c><00:23:24.799><c> the</c><00:23:25.019><c> children</c><00:23:25.240><c> of</c><00:23:25.539><c> light</c><00:23:26.039><c> in</c><00:23:26.500><c> so</c><00:23:26.819><c> far</c>

00:23:28.059 --> 00:23:31.140
as<00:23:28.460><c> we</c><00:23:28.740><c> show</c><00:23:29.019><c> the</c><00:23:29.319><c> character</c><00:23:29.720><c> of</c><00:23:29.980><c> our</c><00:23:30.160><c> Father,</c>

00:23:31.339 --> 00:23:33.759
the<00:23:31.619><c> character</c><00:23:31.980><c> of</c><00:23:32.259><c> our</c><00:23:32.500><c> Master,</c>

00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:38.079
the<00:23:34.940><c> light</c><00:23:35.519><c> of</c><00:23:36.220><c> how</c><00:23:36.440><c> we</c><00:23:36.680><c> behave</c>

00:23:38.359 --> 00:23:42.319
and<00:23:38.960><c> the</c><00:23:39.140><c> words</c><00:23:39.279><c> that</c><00:23:39.480><c> we</c><00:23:39.779><c> speak</c><00:23:40.559><c> with</c><00:23:41.680><c> each</c><00:23:41.940><c> other.</c>

00:23:42.319 --> 00:23:44.099
How<00:23:42.680><c> with</c><00:23:42.880><c> the</c><00:23:43.019><c> world</c><00:23:43.160><c> around</c><00:23:43.480><c> us</c><00:23:43.759><c> too,</c>

00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:45.920
light<00:23:44.400><c> in</c><00:23:44.599><c> the</c><00:23:44.779><c> world,</c>

00:23:46.539 --> 00:23:47.839
Father<00:23:46.920><c> of</c><00:23:47.279><c> lights,</c>

00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:50.039
with<00:23:48.400><c> whom</c><00:23:48.579><c> is</c><00:23:48.799><c> no</c><00:23:49.160><c> variableness.</c>

00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:54.460
That<00:23:50.519><c> means</c><00:23:50.980><c> variation,</c><00:23:53.319><c> variance.</c>

00:23:55.839 --> 00:23:57.880
God<00:23:56.019><c> is</c><00:23:56.380><c> consistent.</c>

00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:02.279
There's<00:23:58.400><c> no</c><00:23:59.319><c> variation</c><00:24:00.240><c> or</c><00:24:01.140><c> shadow</c><00:24:01.700><c> of</c><00:24:02.039><c> turning.</c>

00:24:02.720 --> 00:24:05.480
That<00:24:03.019><c> phrase,</c><00:24:03.660><c> shadow</c><00:24:04.160><c> of</c><00:24:04.559><c> turning,</c>

00:24:05.519 --> 00:24:08.880
was<00:24:05.779><c> used</c><00:24:06.299><c> in</c><00:24:06.720><c> connection</c><00:24:06.980><c> with</c><00:24:07.220><c> the</c><00:24:07.380><c> turning</c><00:24:07.599><c> of</c><00:24:07.980><c> planets,</c>

00:24:09.339 --> 00:24:10.759
turning<00:24:09.619><c> of</c><00:24:09.799><c> the</c><00:24:09.940><c> moon,</c><00:24:10.240><c> for</c><00:24:10.400><c> instance.</c>

00:24:10.759 --> 00:24:11.859
You'd<00:24:11.299><c> see</c><00:24:11.500><c> it.</c>

00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:12.839
It<00:24:12.140><c> would</c><00:24:12.319><c> turn.</c>

00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:14.599
You'd<00:24:13.380><c> only</c><00:24:13.559><c> see</c><00:24:13.740><c> a</c><00:24:13.900><c> portion</c><00:24:14.119><c> of</c><00:24:14.319><c> it.</c>

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:15.920
The<00:24:15.180><c> sun</c><00:24:15.400><c> would</c><00:24:15.599><c> come</c><00:24:15.799><c> up.</c>

00:24:15.940 --> 00:24:16.740
The<00:24:16.019><c> sun</c><00:24:16.200><c> would</c><00:24:16.339><c> go</c><00:24:16.559><c> down.</c>

00:24:16.759 --> 00:24:17.460
It<00:24:16.799><c> would</c><00:24:16.980><c> disappear.</c>

00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:19.240
God<00:24:18.039><c> isn't</c><00:24:18.319><c> like</c><00:24:18.700><c> that.</c>

00:24:19.680 --> 00:24:21.400
He's<00:24:19.980><c> always</c><00:24:20.240><c> there.</c>

00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:23.440
And<00:24:21.759><c> He's</c><00:24:21.880><c> always</c><00:24:22.200><c> consistent.</c>

00:24:23.779 --> 00:24:25.700
And<00:24:23.900><c> He's</c><00:24:24.160><c> always</c><00:24:24.660><c> the</c><00:24:25.019><c> one</c><00:24:25.460><c> Father.</c>

00:24:25.859 --> 00:24:27.859
God<00:24:26.099><c> will</c><00:24:26.299><c> never</c><00:24:26.480><c> let</c><00:24:26.660><c> you</c><00:24:26.880><c> down.</c>

00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:31.440
He'll<00:24:28.420><c> never</c><00:24:28.640><c> be</c><00:24:28.859><c> other</c><00:24:29.099><c> than</c><00:24:29.500><c> who</c><00:24:29.960><c> He</c><00:24:30.259><c> is.</c>

00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:33.359
He's<00:24:32.460><c> always</c><00:24:32.779><c> there.</c>

00:24:33.740 --> 00:24:38.000
And<00:24:33.980><c> He</c><00:24:34.099><c> is</c><00:24:34.640><c> fully</c><00:24:35.099><c> consistent</c><00:24:35.940><c> in</c><00:24:36.819><c> all</c><00:24:37.299><c> that</c><00:24:37.400><c> He</c><00:24:37.539><c> does.</c>

00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:41.880
So<00:24:38.880><c> that's</c><00:24:39.140><c> what</c><00:24:39.359><c> James</c><00:24:39.660><c> is</c><00:24:39.859><c> taking</c><00:24:40.240><c> pains</c><00:24:40.700><c> to</c><00:24:41.039><c> show.</c>

00:24:42.299 --> 00:24:44.279
Don't<00:24:42.359><c> think</c><00:24:42.640><c> that</c><00:24:42.920><c> God</c><00:24:43.180><c> is</c><00:24:43.359><c> like</c><00:24:43.680><c> us,</c>

00:24:44.740 --> 00:24:47.519
but<00:24:44.900><c> we</c><00:24:45.140><c> must</c><00:24:45.420><c> become</c><00:24:46.039><c> like</c><00:24:46.640><c> Him.</c>

00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:49.119
There's<00:24:48.039><c> no</c><00:24:48.259><c> shadow</c><00:24:48.599><c> of</c><00:24:48.819><c> turning.</c>

00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:51.160
Of<00:24:49.599><c> His</c><00:24:49.779><c> own</c><00:24:50.019><c> will,</c><00:24:50.200><c> he</c><00:24:50.339><c> says.</c>

00:24:51.180 --> 00:24:53.240
So<00:24:51.420><c> rather</c><00:24:51.859><c> than</c><00:24:52.079><c> being</c><00:24:52.279><c> the</c><00:24:52.420><c> kind</c><00:24:52.599><c> of</c><00:24:52.880><c> individual</c>

00:24:53.240 --> 00:24:57.740
who<00:24:53.740><c> has</c><00:24:54.160><c> deliberately</c><00:24:54.839><c> tried</c><00:24:55.359><c> to</c><00:24:55.579><c> make</c><00:24:55.720><c> you</c><00:24:56.019><c> fall</c><00:24:56.440><c> and</c><00:24:56.819><c> fail,</c>

00:24:57.940 --> 00:25:00.440
of<00:24:58.160><c> His</c><00:24:58.380><c> own</c><00:24:58.720><c> will,</c><00:24:59.339><c> in</c><00:24:59.500><c> direct</c><00:24:59.859><c> contrast,</c>

00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:01.619
He<00:25:00.579><c> was</c><00:25:00.859><c> nasty</c><00:25:01.180><c> to</c><00:25:01.339><c> it.</c>

00:25:01.819 --> 00:25:03.559
He<00:25:01.980><c> did</c><00:25:02.160><c> it</c><00:25:02.500><c> freely.</c>

00:25:04.009 --> 00:25:12.740
Of<00:25:04.559><c> His</c><00:25:05.000><c> own</c><00:25:05.460><c> will,</c><00:25:07.059><c> He</c><00:25:07.579><c> begat</c><00:25:08.119><c> us</c><00:25:09.000><c> with</c><00:25:09.599><c> the</c><00:25:09.859><c> word</c><00:25:10.599><c> of</c><00:25:11.660><c> truth.</c>

00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:20.839
A<00:25:14.700><c> man</c><00:25:16.039><c> unites</c><00:25:16.759><c> with</c><00:25:16.960><c> his</c><00:25:17.220><c> lust</c><00:25:17.859><c> and</c><00:25:19.079><c> gives</c><00:25:19.319><c> birth</c><00:25:19.579><c> to</c><00:25:19.880><c> sin</c>

00:25:21.049 --> 00:25:24.359
and<00:25:21.599><c> gives</c><00:25:21.880><c> birth</c><00:25:22.480><c> to</c><00:25:23.299><c> death.</c>

00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:30.660
God,<00:25:26.380><c> united</c><00:25:26.900><c> with</c><00:25:27.140><c> His</c><00:25:27.400><c> word,</c><00:25:28.740><c> gave</c><00:25:29.019><c> birth</c><00:25:29.339><c> to</c><00:25:29.700><c> us</c>

00:25:30.660 --> 00:25:35.420
that<00:25:31.319><c> we</c><00:25:31.539><c> might</c><00:25:31.799><c> have</c><00:25:32.119><c> life</c><00:25:32.640><c> abundantly.</c>

00:25:35.880 --> 00:25:37.980
One<00:25:36.140><c> union</c><00:25:36.460><c> leads</c><00:25:36.759><c> to</c><00:25:36.980><c> death.</c>

00:25:38.640 --> 00:25:41.059
The<00:25:38.859><c> other</c><00:25:39.079><c> union</c><00:25:39.400><c> leads</c><00:25:39.700><c> to</c><00:25:40.000><c> life.</c>

00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:44.759
And<00:25:41.900><c> God</c><00:25:42.119><c> did</c><00:25:42.380><c> it</c><00:25:43.019><c> of</c><00:25:43.480><c> His</c><00:25:43.700><c> own</c><00:25:44.019><c> free</c><00:25:44.240><c> will,</c>

00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:47.099
knowing<00:25:45.539><c> that</c><00:25:45.779><c> we</c><00:25:45.920><c> are</c><00:25:46.140><c> sinful,</c>

That's<00:29:43.440><c> why</c><00:29:43.640><c> we</c><00:29:43.839><c> have</c><00:29:44.039><c> to</c><00:29:44.279><c> read</c><00:29:44.440><c> it.</c>

00:29:46.460 --> 00:29:50.819
That's<00:29:46.859><c> why</c><00:29:47.019><c> we</c><00:29:47.200><c> have</c><00:29:47.359><c> to</c><00:29:47.680><c> keep</c><00:29:48.480><c> working</c><00:29:49.240><c> at</c><00:29:49.880><c> understanding</c><00:29:50.440><c> it.</c>

00:29:50.980 --> 00:29:52.980
Some<00:29:51.220><c> say</c><00:29:51.420><c> it's</c><00:29:51.619><c> difficult,</c>

00:29:53.900 --> 00:29:57.299
but<00:29:54.380><c> even</c><00:29:54.619><c> a</c><00:29:54.859><c> child</c><00:29:55.119><c> can</c><00:29:55.359><c> understand</c><00:29:55.799><c> the</c><00:29:55.980><c> Word</c><00:29:56.079><c> of</c><00:29:56.359><c> God</c>

00:29:57.680 --> 00:30:01.779
when<00:29:58.200><c> it's</c><00:29:58.460><c> read</c><00:29:58.599><c> with</c><00:29:58.920><c> faith</c><00:29:59.299><c> and</c><00:29:59.519><c> a</c><00:29:59.700><c> desire</c><00:29:59.940><c> to</c><00:30:00.180><c> know</c><00:30:00.319><c> and</c><00:30:00.579><c> understand.</c>

00:30:03.059 --> 00:30:05.279
So<00:30:03.259><c> He</c><00:30:03.420><c> goes</c><00:30:03.680><c> further</c><00:30:03.960><c> and</c><00:30:04.079><c> He</c><00:30:04.140><c> says,</c>

00:30:05.359 --> 00:30:08.359
verse<00:30:05.660><c> 19,</c><00:30:06.900><c> wherefore,</c><00:30:07.539><c> my</c><00:30:07.579><c> beloved</c><00:30:07.940><c> brethren,</c>

00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:12.319
let<00:30:08.880><c> every</c><00:30:09.160><c> man</c><00:30:09.299><c> be</c><00:30:09.640><c> swift</c><00:30:09.839><c> to</c><00:30:10.059><c> hear</c><00:30:10.420><c> and</c><00:30:10.920><c> slow</c><00:30:11.200><c> to</c><00:30:11.480><c> speak.</c>

00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:14.799
What's<00:30:12.700><c> it</c><00:30:12.839><c> like</c><00:30:12.980><c> for</c><00:30:13.160><c> us</c><00:30:13.279><c> as</c><00:30:13.480><c> North</c><00:30:13.700><c> Americans?</c>

00:30:15.539 --> 00:30:19.480
We<00:30:15.700><c> are</c><00:30:15.880><c> the</c><00:30:15.980><c> most</c><00:30:16.380><c> talky,</c><00:30:17.059><c> unheeding</c><00:30:18.259><c> people</c><00:30:18.980><c> on</c><00:30:19.180><c> the</c><00:30:19.319><c> face</c>

00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:24.559
Have<00:30:22.200><c> you,</c><00:30:22.799><c> none</c><00:30:22.900><c> of</c><00:30:23.079><c> you,</c><00:30:23.700><c> experienced</c>

00:30:24.680 --> 00:30:27.400

00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:32.279
and<00:30:30.420><c> you</c><00:30:30.619><c> get</c><00:30:30.839><c> to</c><00:30:31.099><c> say</c><00:30:31.240><c> nothing,</c>

00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:34.299
never<00:30:32.700><c> asks</c><00:30:33.099><c> you</c><00:30:33.460><c> how</c><00:30:33.700><c> you're</c><00:30:33.900><c> feeling,</c>

00:30:34.579 --> 00:30:35.599

00:30:36.099 --> 00:30:39.240
I<00:30:36.400><c> enjoyed</c><00:30:36.900><c> our</c><00:30:37.319><c> conversation</c><00:30:37.920><c> so</c><00:30:38.279><c> much.</c>

00:30:40.240 --> 00:30:42.720
It's<00:30:40.759><c> so</c><00:30:41.099><c> good</c><00:30:41.259><c> when</c><00:30:41.460><c> we</c><00:30:41.779><c> talk.</c>

00:30:45.259 --> 00:30:49.319
It<00:30:45.640><c> happens</c><00:30:45.940><c> a</c><00:30:46.160><c> lot</c><00:30:46.799><c> in</c><00:30:47.119><c> the</c><00:30:47.339><c> truth</c><00:30:47.599><c> too,</c><00:30:47.920><c> doesn't</c><00:30:48.099><c> it?</c>

00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:54.680
That's<00:30:53.680><c> the</c><00:30:54.079><c> way</c><00:30:54.220><c> we</c><00:30:54.480><c> are.</c>

00:30:54.880 --> 00:30:57.440
You<00:30:55.000><c> know,</c><00:30:55.259><c> we</c><00:30:55.400><c> like</c><00:30:55.599><c> that</c><00:30:55.740><c> with</c><00:30:55.880><c> the</c><00:30:56.000><c> Word</c><00:30:56.140><c> of</c><00:30:56.319><c> God</c><00:30:56.500><c> too.</c>

00:30:58.079 --> 00:31:00.420
I<00:30:58.480><c> was</c><00:30:58.759><c> teasing</c><00:30:59.000><c> the</c><00:30:59.240><c> kids</c><00:30:59.440><c> in</c><00:30:59.619><c> our</c><00:30:59.819><c> class</c><00:31:00.019><c> a</c><00:31:00.180><c> little</c><00:31:00.299><c> bit.</c>

00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:02.460
I<00:31:00.559><c> said,</c><00:31:01.039><c> how</c><00:31:01.279><c> many</c><00:31:01.579><c> of</c><00:31:01.700><c> you</c><00:31:01.799><c> doing</c><00:31:01.980><c> the</c><00:31:02.220><c> readings,</c>

because<00:31:21.180><c> that's</c><00:31:21.380><c> what</c><00:31:21.519><c> we</c><00:31:21.759><c> do.</c>

00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:25.779
Oh<00:31:23.519><c> yes,</c><00:31:23.920><c> we</c><00:31:24.160><c> may</c><00:31:24.339><c> be</c><00:31:24.519><c> looking</c><00:31:24.720><c> at</c><00:31:24.920><c> the</c><00:31:25.079><c> words,</c>

00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:29.619
but<00:31:27.079><c> are</c><00:31:27.599><c> we</c><00:31:27.759><c> looking</c><00:31:27.980><c> into</c><00:31:28.359><c> the</c><00:31:28.599><c> words</c>

00:31:29.940 --> 00:31:34.640

00:31:34.980 --> 00:31:36.779
that<00:31:35.420><c> I</c><00:31:35.660><c> have</c><00:31:35.880><c> to</c><00:31:36.019><c> learn?</c>

00:31:37.779 --> 00:31:41.240
So,<00:31:38.380><c> he</c><00:31:38.500><c> says,</c><00:31:39.039><c> be</c><00:31:39.220><c> quick</c><00:31:39.579><c> to</c><00:31:40.019><c> hear.</c>

00:31:42.119 --> 00:31:44.900
In<00:31:42.220><c> a</c><00:31:42.380><c> simple</c><00:31:42.619><c> way,</c><00:31:43.920><c> bear</c><00:31:43.980><c> this</c><00:31:44.160><c> in</c><00:31:44.359><c> mind.</c>

00:31:44.900 --> 00:31:49.480
You<00:31:45.680><c> win</c><00:31:46.440><c> more</c><00:31:47.180><c> friends</c><00:31:47.880><c> with</c><00:31:48.519><c> your</c><00:31:48.880><c> ears</c>

00:31:53.140 --> 00:31:54.319
It's<00:31:53.319><c> true.</c>

00:31:54.619 --> 00:31:58.140
And<00:31:54.859><c> you</c><00:31:55.079><c> help</c><00:31:55.440><c> more</c><00:31:56.319><c> with</c><00:31:56.680><c> your</c><00:31:56.880><c> ears</c>

00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:05.400
Sometimes<00:32:03.500><c> it's</c><00:32:03.740><c> not</c><00:32:03.980><c> the</c><00:32:04.240><c> advice,</c>

00:32:06.019 --> 00:32:10.359
the<00:32:06.259><c> talking</c><00:32:06.720><c> that</c><00:32:07.980><c> strengthens</c><00:32:08.779><c> somebody</c><00:32:09.220><c> else.</c>

00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:15.819
It's<00:32:12.039><c> hearing</c><00:32:12.339><c> the</c><00:32:12.819><c> long,</c><00:32:13.819><c> intricate,</c><00:32:14.839><c> painful,</c>

00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:19.279
excruciating<00:32:17.200><c> problem</c><00:32:17.740><c> that</c><00:32:17.920><c> they</c><00:32:18.180><c> have,</c>

00:32:19.299 --> 00:32:20.880
and<00:32:19.660><c> saying</c><00:32:19.900><c> after,</c>

00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:26.759
it<00:32:24.200><c> really</c><00:32:24.599><c> hurts,</c><00:32:24.920><c> doesn't</c><00:32:25.279><c> it?</c>

00:32:27.140 --> 00:32:29.920
I<00:32:28.099><c> can</c><00:32:28.400><c> see</c><00:32:28.559><c> it</c><00:32:28.819><c> hurts.</c>

00:32:31.140 --> 00:32:36.200
But<00:32:32.099><c> I</c><00:32:32.359><c> know</c><00:32:33.200><c> that</c><00:32:34.460><c> God</c><00:32:34.759><c> loves</c><00:32:35.119><c> you</c>

00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:39.799
and<00:32:36.700><c> is</c><00:32:37.119><c> ceaselessly</c><00:32:37.960><c> working</c><00:32:38.240><c> in</c><00:32:38.400><c> your</c><00:32:38.720><c> life</c>

00:32:40.019 --> 00:32:42.859

00:33:19.700 --> 00:33:22.700
In<00:33:19.940><c> the</c><00:33:20.059><c> multitude</c><00:33:20.339><c> of</c><00:33:20.599><c> words,</c><00:33:20.799><c> there's</c><00:33:21.019><c> no</c><00:33:21.140><c> lack</c><00:33:21.339><c> of</c><00:33:21.700><c> sin.</c>

00:33:31.339 --> 00:33:34.980
Sometimes<00:33:31.880><c> it</c><00:33:32.160><c> leads</c><00:33:32.519><c> to</c><00:33:33.099><c> wrath</c><00:33:33.539><c> and</c><00:33:33.839><c> anger</c>

00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:36.680
when<00:33:35.940><c> we</c><00:33:36.160><c> talk</c><00:33:36.339><c> too</c><00:33:36.559><c> much.</c>

00:33:36.740 --> 00:33:38.960
I'm<00:33:37.019><c> guilty</c><00:33:37.279><c> as</c><00:33:37.559><c> charged,</c><00:33:38.259><c> so</c><00:33:38.500><c> are</c><00:33:38.720><c> you.</c>

00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:42.599
But<00:33:41.539><c> he</c><00:33:41.799><c> says,</c><00:33:42.140><c> look,</c>

00:33:43.099 --> 00:33:45.000
when<00:33:43.220><c> you're</c><00:33:43.420><c> full</c><00:33:43.619><c> of</c><00:33:43.799><c> all</c><00:33:44.000><c> of</c><00:33:44.140><c> this</c><00:33:44.319><c> wrath</c><00:33:44.579><c> and</c><00:33:44.759><c> anger,</c>

00:33:45.339 --> 00:33:47.150

00:33:50.960 --> 00:33:53.079
Remember,<00:33:51.519><c> the</c><00:33:51.759><c> wrath</c><00:33:52.160><c> of</c><00:33:52.619><c> man</c>

00:33:55.700 --> 00:34:00.839
You're<00:33:56.859><c> not</c><00:33:57.200><c> doing</c><00:33:57.640><c> what</c><00:33:58.619><c> God</c><00:33:58.880><c> would</c><00:33:59.099><c> have</c><00:33:59.299><c> you</c><00:33:59.559><c> to</c><00:33:59.779><c> do</c>

00:34:01.019 --> 00:34:03.000
when<00:34:01.599><c> that</c><00:34:01.940><c> kind</c><00:34:02.200><c> of</c><00:34:02.420><c> wrath</c><00:34:02.559><c> comes</c><00:34:02.839><c> out,</c>

00:34:03.119 --> 00:34:06.539
that<00:34:03.339><c> kind</c><00:34:03.640><c> of</c><00:34:04.319><c> bitter</c><00:34:05.039><c> resentment</c>

00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:11.739
There's<00:34:09.880><c> no</c><00:34:10.099><c> help</c><00:34:10.340><c> in</c><00:34:10.599><c> resentment,</c>

So<00:34:16.360><c> he</c><00:34:16.420><c> goes</c><00:34:16.639><c> on</c><00:34:16.940><c> further.</c>

00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:20.300
He<00:34:17.360><c> says</c><00:34:17.679><c> then,</c><00:34:19.139><c> verse</c><00:34:19.320><c> 21,</c>

It's<00:35:33.079><c> funny,</c><00:35:33.500><c> as</c><00:35:33.619><c> my</c><00:35:33.800><c> eyes</c><00:35:34.019><c> get</c><00:35:34.239><c> worse,</c><00:35:34.420><c> I</c><00:35:34.579><c> write</c><00:35:34.780><c> smaller.</c>

00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:38.340
And<00:35:36.760><c> it's</c><00:35:37.019><c> not</c><00:35:37.340><c> easy</c><00:35:37.739><c> to</c><00:35:38.000><c> do</c><00:35:38.159><c> this,</c>

00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:41.019
to<00:35:38.619><c> read</c><00:35:38.900><c> what</c><00:35:39.079><c> I've</c><00:35:39.300><c> actually</c><00:35:39.639><c> written</c><00:35:39.920><c> down.</c>

00:35:41.340 --> 00:35:46.260
But<00:35:41.539><c> it</c><00:35:41.860><c> says,</c><00:35:43.099><c> when</c><00:35:43.340><c> we</c><00:35:43.539><c> go</c><00:35:43.780><c> down</c><00:35:44.039><c> to</c><00:35:44.199><c> verse</c><00:35:44.440><c> 21,</c><00:35:45.699><c> naughtiness.</c>

00:35:46.260 --> 00:35:47.880
Where<00:35:46.500><c> is</c><00:35:46.739><c> that</c><00:35:46.920><c> word</c><00:35:47.139><c> in</c><00:35:47.280><c> my</c><00:35:47.639><c> column?</c>

00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:50.760
Naughtiness,<00:35:48.739><c> it</c><00:35:48.860><c> means</c><00:35:49.260><c> vice</c><00:35:49.860><c> generally.</c>

00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:52.820
Now,<00:35:51.300><c> listen</c><00:35:51.480><c> to</c><00:35:51.659><c> this.</c>

00:35:54.579 --> 00:35:59.300
Especially<00:35:55.380><c> malice</c><00:35:56.179><c> and</c><00:35:57.559><c> the</c><00:35:58.000><c> habit</c><00:35:58.579><c> of</c><00:35:59.139><c> it.</c>

00:35:59.380 --> 00:36:00.840
Did<00:35:59.500><c> you</c><00:35:59.619><c> get</c><00:35:59.800><c> that?</c>

00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:05.000
The<00:36:01.480><c> habit</c><00:36:01.860><c> of</c><00:36:02.420><c> ill</c><00:36:02.820><c> will</c><00:36:03.380><c> toward</c><00:36:03.719><c> other</c><00:36:04.000><c> people.</c>

00:36:05.980 --> 00:36:08.800
When<00:36:06.219><c> you</c><00:36:06.420><c> find</c><00:36:06.679><c> yourself,</c><00:36:07.460><c> sister</c><00:36:07.460><c> or</c><00:36:07.760><c> brother,</c>

00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:14.059
with<00:36:08.980><c> a</c><00:36:09.260><c> mindset</c><00:36:09.780><c> that</c><00:36:10.800><c> is</c><00:36:11.159><c> continually</c><00:36:11.760><c> looking</c><00:36:12.480><c> for</c><00:36:12.980><c> the</c><00:36:13.380><c> bad</c><00:36:13.699><c> in</c>

00:36:14.059 --> 00:36:15.059
other<00:36:14.539><c> people,</c>

00:36:15.059 --> 00:36:18.239
that's<00:36:16.000><c> what</c><00:36:16.179><c> you've</c><00:36:16.460><c> fallen</c><00:36:16.639><c> into.</c>

00:36:20.440 --> 00:36:27.420
When<00:36:20.760><c> your</c><00:36:21.360><c> thinking</c><00:36:21.719><c> is</c><00:36:22.460><c> to</c><00:36:22.800><c> poke</c><00:36:23.159><c> holes</c><00:36:23.840><c> in</c><00:36:25.980><c> the</c><00:36:26.460><c> marriages,</c>

00:36:27.519 --> 00:36:28.940
in<00:36:27.659><c> the</c><00:36:28.039><c> personal</c><00:36:28.539><c> life,</c>

00:36:29.179 --> 00:36:32.920
in<00:36:29.380><c> the</c><00:36:30.440><c> behavior</c><00:36:31.079><c> of</c><00:36:31.320><c> your</c><00:36:31.539><c> brothers</c><00:36:31.760><c> and</c><00:36:32.039><c> sisters</c><00:36:32.320><c> around</c><00:36:32.679><c> you,</c>

00:36:33.159 --> 00:36:33.800
it<00:36:33.360><c> happens.</c>

00:36:33.980 --> 00:36:36.199
Sadly,<00:36:34.440><c> people</c><00:36:34.719><c> become</c><00:36:35.079><c> like</c><00:36:35.420><c> that.</c>

00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:40.880
It's<00:36:37.579><c> a</c><00:36:37.760><c> sign</c><00:36:37.980><c> that</c><00:36:38.159><c> you're</c><00:36:38.380><c> not</c><00:36:38.659><c> dealing</c><00:36:38.960><c> with</c><00:36:39.260><c> the</c><00:36:39.480><c> brokenness</c><00:36:39.980><c> within</c><00:36:40.280><c> you.</c>

00:36:40.880 --> 00:36:44.739
You're<00:36:41.840><c> not</c><00:36:42.199><c> looking</c><00:36:42.579><c> at</c><00:36:42.820><c> the</c><00:36:43.119><c> change</c><00:36:43.360><c> that</c><00:36:43.619><c> needs</c><00:36:43.840><c> to</c><00:36:44.079><c> be</c><00:36:44.300><c> effected</c>

00:36:44.739 --> 00:36:46.260
in<00:36:44.840><c> your</c><00:36:45.099><c> own</c><00:36:45.280><c> individual</c><00:36:45.780><c> life.</c>

00:36:46.619 --> 00:36:49.380
And<00:36:46.820><c> instead,</c><00:36:47.440><c> you're</c><00:36:47.659><c> projecting</c><00:36:48.139><c> out</c><00:36:48.440><c> under</c><00:36:48.659><c> other</c><00:36:48.980><c> people</c>

00:36:49.380 --> 00:36:52.940
all<00:36:50.159><c> the</c><00:36:50.400><c> wrong</c><00:36:50.699><c> things</c><00:36:51.159><c> that</c><00:36:51.440><c> you</c><00:36:52.059><c> would</c><00:36:52.280><c> rather</c><00:36:52.480><c> not</c><00:36:52.719><c> look</c>

00:36:52.940 --> 00:36:54.199
at<00:36:53.019><c> in</c><00:36:53.199><c> yourself.</c>

00:36:54.960 --> 00:36:57.840
And<00:36:55.480><c> magnifying</c><00:36:56.000><c> their</c><00:36:56.860><c> faults</c><00:36:57.219><c> and</c><00:36:57.440><c> their</c><00:36:57.699><c> errors.</c>

00:36:58.059 --> 00:36:59.920
Do<00:36:58.260><c> you</c><00:36:58.360><c> remember</c><00:36:58.639><c> what</c><00:36:58.880><c> happened</c><00:36:59.059><c> to</c><00:36:59.260><c> the</c><00:36:59.440><c> disciples</c>

00:36:59.920 --> 00:37:02.460
when<00:37:00.679><c> they</c><00:37:00.980><c> got</c><00:37:01.179><c> to</c><00:37:01.400><c> the</c><00:37:01.599><c> end</c><00:37:01.780><c> with</c><00:37:02.039><c> Christ?</c>

00:37:02.679 --> 00:37:04.480
They<00:37:02.960><c> still</c><00:37:03.260><c> weren't</c><00:37:03.460><c> fully</c><00:37:03.719><c> matured.</c>

00:37:05.059 --> 00:37:07.599
But<00:37:05.199><c> these</c><00:37:05.480><c> were</c><00:37:05.659><c> men</c><00:37:06.059><c> who</c><00:37:06.360><c> at</c><00:37:06.539><c> the</c><00:37:06.760><c> beginning</c>

00:37:09.059 --> 00:37:15.380
were<00:37:09.500><c> hard</c><00:37:09.940><c>-headed,</c><00:37:12.059><c> strong</c><00:37:12.400><c>-willed,</c><00:37:14.039><c> outward</c><00:37:14.440><c>-looking.</c>

00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:17.679
Two<00:37:15.699><c> of</c><00:37:15.860><c> them,</c><00:37:16.480><c> not</c><00:37:16.820><c> too</c><00:37:17.059><c> long</c><00:37:17.219><c> before,</c>

00:37:17.960 --> 00:37:21.039
wanted<00:37:18.139><c> to</c><00:37:18.440><c> destroy</c><00:37:19.119><c> a</c><00:37:19.480><c> village</c><00:37:19.719><c> in</c><00:37:19.900><c> Samaria.</c>

00:37:21.380 --> 00:37:24.199
And<00:37:21.619><c> yet</c><00:37:21.719><c> when</c><00:37:21.860><c> they</c><00:37:22.059><c> get</c><00:37:22.400><c> to</c><00:37:22.960><c> the</c><00:37:23.460><c> upper</c><00:37:23.679><c> room</c>

00:37:24.199 --> 00:37:26.340
and<00:37:24.679><c> Christ</c><00:37:24.940><c> says,</c><00:37:25.320><c> one</c><00:37:25.360><c> of</c><00:37:25.500><c> you</c><00:37:25.559><c> will</c><00:37:25.800><c> betray</c><00:37:26.039><c> me,</c>

00:37:26.440 --> 00:37:27.079
what<00:37:26.639><c> do</c><00:37:26.719><c> they</c><00:37:26.920><c> say?</c>

00:37:27.139 --> 00:37:28.260
Is<00:37:27.360><c> it</c><00:37:27.460><c> him?</c><00:37:27.739><c> Who</c><00:37:27.960><c> is</c><00:37:28.159><c> it?</c>

00:37:28.420 --> 00:37:30.880
Tell<00:37:28.639><c> us</c><00:37:28.739><c> who</c><00:37:28.920><c> it</c><00:37:29.000><c> is</c><00:37:29.099><c> and</c><00:37:29.139><c> we'll</c><00:37:29.380><c> take</c><00:37:29.559><c> care</c><00:37:29.679><c> of</c><00:37:29.800><c> him</c><00:37:29.920><c> now.</c>

00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:36.440
Every<00:37:31.960><c> one</c><00:37:32.159><c> of</c><00:37:32.380><c> them</c><00:37:32.860><c> says,</c><00:37:34.460><c> is</c><00:37:34.780><c> it</c><00:37:35.139><c> me,</c><00:37:35.760><c> Lord?</c>

00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:40.380
You<00:37:38.460><c> know</c><00:37:38.559><c> why</c><00:37:38.699><c> that</c><00:37:38.980><c> is?</c>

00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:46.920
Because<00:37:44.000><c> every</c><00:37:44.320><c> one</c><00:37:44.460><c> of</c><00:37:44.599><c> them</c><00:37:44.699><c> had</c><00:37:44.940><c> considered</c><00:37:45.460><c> leaving</c><00:37:45.780><c> him.</c>

00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:52.699
Every<00:37:49.360><c> man</c><00:37:50.119><c> Jack</c><00:37:50.719><c> among</c><00:37:51.480><c> them.</c>

00:37:53.820 --> 00:37:56.119
That's<00:37:54.239><c> why</c><00:37:54.400><c> it</c><00:37:54.500><c> came</c><00:37:54.679><c> out</c><00:37:54.940><c> that</c><00:37:55.139><c> way.</c>

00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:00.400
Every<00:37:58.239><c> one</c><00:37:58.420><c> of</c><00:37:58.559><c> them</c><00:37:58.659><c> had</c><00:37:59.059><c> looked</c><00:37:59.500><c> within</c>

00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:03.619
and<00:38:01.159><c> doubted</c><00:38:01.980><c> and</c><00:38:02.579><c> struggled</c><00:38:03.039><c> with</c><00:38:03.360><c> that</c><00:38:03.480><c> doubt.</c>

00:38:03.800 --> 00:38:07.219
They<00:38:04.400><c> stayed,</c><00:38:05.960><c> except</c><00:38:06.199><c> for</c><00:38:06.420><c> Judas.</c>

00:38:07.340 --> 00:38:08.599
But<00:38:07.599><c> they</c><00:38:07.840><c> doubted.</c>

00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:12.960
Everyone,<00:38:10.239><c> perhaps</c><00:38:10.840><c> in</c><00:38:11.219><c> a</c><00:38:11.360><c> rudimentary</c><00:38:11.860><c> way,</c>

00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:16.239
had<00:38:14.059><c> examined</c><00:38:14.440><c> himself</c><00:38:14.940><c> and</c><00:38:15.139><c> wondered</c><00:38:15.340><c> if</c><00:38:15.460><c> he</c><00:38:15.619><c> was</c><00:38:15.880><c> going</c><00:38:16.039><c> to</c>

00:38:19.280 --> 00:38:22.739
But<00:38:19.699><c> also</c><00:38:20.119><c> they</c><00:38:20.260><c> had</c><00:38:20.539><c> gotten</c><00:38:20.800><c> to</c><00:38:21.059><c> the</c><00:38:21.199><c> point</c><00:38:21.360><c> of</c><00:38:21.599><c> maturity</c>

00:38:37.340 --> 00:38:41.739

00:39:08.019 --> 00:39:10.059
But<00:39:08.179><c> look</c><00:39:08.380><c> within</c><00:39:08.699><c> yourself.</c>

00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:12.400
That's<00:39:10.780><c> what</c><00:39:11.079><c> the</c><00:39:11.400><c> Word</c><00:39:11.639><c> of</c><00:39:11.880><c> God</c><00:39:12.119><c> does.</c>

00:39:12.699 --> 00:39:15.659
It's<00:39:13.000><c> a</c><00:39:13.239><c> sword</c><00:39:13.420><c> that</c><00:39:13.619><c> goes</c><00:39:13.840><c> into</c><00:39:14.280><c> us.</c>

00:39:15.679 --> 00:39:18.099
That's<00:39:16.079><c> what</c><00:39:16.159><c> it's</c><00:39:16.460><c> supposed</c><00:39:16.679><c> to</c><00:39:16.920><c> do.</c>

00:39:18.599 --> 00:39:20.360
And<00:39:19.059><c> divides</c><00:39:19.679><c> asunder</c>

00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:28.699
So<00:39:26.980><c> he</c><00:39:27.079><c> goes</c><00:39:27.280><c> on</c><00:39:27.460><c> and</c><00:39:27.579><c> he</c><00:39:27.739><c> says,</c>

00:39:31.699 --> 00:39:33.659

00:39:40.280 --> 00:39:42.900

00:39:46.420 --> 00:39:52.159
It<00:39:46.840><c> reminds</c><00:39:47.260><c> you</c><00:39:47.460><c> of</c><00:39:47.579><c> the</c><00:39:47.860><c> sower</c><00:39:48.199><c> sowing</c><00:39:49.019><c> the</c><00:39:49.699><c> seed,</c><00:39:50.739><c> doesn't</c><00:39:51.019><c> it?</c>

00:39:52.219 --> 00:39:54.559
That's<00:39:52.619><c> what</c><00:39:52.739><c> it</c><00:39:52.860><c> reminds</c><00:39:53.239><c> us</c><00:39:53.519><c> of.</c>

00:39:54.940 --> 00:39:58.360

Sometimes<00:40:04.980><c> our</c><00:40:05.280><c> hearts,</c>

The<00:40:14.460><c> Word</c><00:40:14.880><c> can</c><00:40:15.239><c> penetrate</c><00:40:15.719><c> into</c><00:40:15.940><c> us.</c>

00:40:17.420 --> 00:40:18.900

00:40:29.500 --> 00:40:32.099
It<00:40:29.659><c> means</c><00:40:29.880><c> with</c><00:40:30.380><c> mildness,</c>

with<00:40:32.739><c> gentleness.</c>

00:40:34.239 --> 00:40:36.860
It's<00:40:34.619><c> the</c><00:40:34.880><c> humble</c><00:40:35.300><c> and</c><00:40:35.760><c> gentle</c><00:40:36.159><c> attitude</c>

And<00:41:20.619><c> so</c><00:41:20.719><c> we</c><00:41:20.920><c> fail</c><00:41:21.119><c> to</c><00:41:21.400><c> receive</c><00:41:21.539><c> its</c><00:41:21.780><c> message.</c>

00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:25.000
The<00:41:24.019><c> en</c><00:41:24.360><c>-grafted</c><00:41:24.820><c> Word,</c>

00:41:25.019 --> 00:41:26.820

00:41:35.960 --> 00:41:38.940
Or<00:41:36.440><c> to</c><00:41:36.800><c> rescue</c><00:41:37.099><c> us</c><00:41:37.480><c> ultimately</c>

00:41:39.079 --> 00:41:41.599
when<00:41:39.559><c> we're</c><00:41:39.800><c> given</c><00:41:39.980><c> eternal</c><00:41:40.360><c> life,</c>

00:41:41.739 --> 00:41:44.059
as<00:41:41.980><c> Paul</c><00:41:42.380><c> said,</c><00:41:43.119><c> right?</c>

00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:46.780
Be<00:41:45.619><c> ye</c><00:41:46.159><c> hearers,</c>

00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:48.219
be<00:41:47.199><c> doers</c><00:41:47.599><c> of</c><00:41:47.739><c> the</c><00:41:47.900><c> Word,</c>

00:41:48.500 --> 00:41:49.780
and<00:41:48.659><c> not</c><00:41:48.920><c> hearers</c><00:41:49.300><c> only,</c>

00:41:50.260 --> 00:41:52.039
deceiving<00:41:50.599><c> your</c><00:41:50.860><c> own</c><00:41:51.119><c> selves.</c>

00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:53.320
So<00:41:52.519><c> the</c><00:41:52.619><c> Word</c><00:41:52.820><c> of</c><00:41:52.980><c> God,</c>

00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:54.780
we<00:41:53.679><c> go</c><00:41:54.019><c> to</c><00:41:54.219><c> to</c><00:41:54.500><c> know</c>

00:41:54.780 --> 00:41:56.719
what<00:41:55.300><c> do</c><00:41:55.519><c> you</c><00:41:55.659><c> have</c><00:41:55.900><c> to</c><00:41:56.079><c> say</c><00:41:56.199><c> to</c><00:41:56.420><c> me.</c>

00:41:56.800 --> 00:41:59.380
And<00:41:57.079><c> then</c><00:41:57.179><c> we</c><00:41:57.320><c> have</c><00:41:57.519><c> to</c><00:41:57.760><c> try</c><00:41:57.880><c> to</c><00:41:58.320><c> do</c><00:41:58.599><c> what</c><00:41:58.800><c> it</c><00:41:59.139><c> says.</c>

00:41:59.699 --> 00:42:00.980
It<00:41:59.900><c> tells</c><00:42:00.079><c> us</c><00:42:00.219><c> to</c><00:42:00.400><c> love</c><00:42:00.519><c> each</c><00:42:00.739><c> other,</c>

00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:02.059
then<00:42:01.239><c> love</c><00:42:01.460><c> each</c><00:42:01.719><c> other.</c>

00:42:02.340 --> 00:42:03.719
It<00:42:02.480><c> says</c><00:42:02.559><c> put</c><00:42:02.760><c> away</c><00:42:03.019><c> wrath</c><00:42:03.280><c> and</c><00:42:03.480><c> anger,</c>

00:42:03.719 --> 00:42:05.519
then<00:42:04.000><c> put</c><00:42:04.260><c> it</c><00:42:04.500><c> away.</c>

00:42:05.719 --> 00:42:07.739
It<00:42:05.739><c> says</c><00:42:05.920><c> husbands</c><00:42:06.340><c> love</c><00:42:06.579><c> your</c><00:42:06.800><c> wives,</c>

00:42:08.380 --> 00:42:09.639
as<00:42:08.559><c> Christ</c><00:42:08.880><c> loved</c><00:42:09.059><c> the</c><00:42:09.260><c> Ecclesia,</c>

00:42:10.079 --> 00:42:11.000
then<00:42:10.260><c> we</c><00:42:10.559><c> do</c><00:42:10.719><c> it.</c>

00:42:11.239 --> 00:42:12.980
It<00:42:11.400><c> says</c><00:42:11.559><c> wives</c><00:42:12.079><c> be</c><00:42:12.519><c> in</c><00:42:12.739><c> submission</c>

00:42:12.980 --> 00:42:13.719
to<00:42:13.179><c> your</c><00:42:13.380><c> husbands,</c>

00:42:13.880 --> 00:42:15.460
whatever<00:42:14.179><c> the</c><00:42:14.400><c> women</c><00:42:14.579><c> of</c><00:42:14.719><c> the</c><00:42:14.880><c> world</c><00:42:15.019><c> are</c><00:42:15.239><c> doing,</c>

00:42:15.900 --> 00:42:16.880
then<00:42:16.179><c> do</c><00:42:16.559><c> it.</c>

00:42:17.059 --> 00:42:18.559
It<00:42:17.260><c> says</c><00:42:17.400><c> children</c><00:42:17.780><c> obey</c><00:42:18.039><c> your</c><00:42:18.300><c> parents</c>

00:42:18.559 --> 00:42:19.579
in<00:42:18.760><c> all</c><00:42:19.039><c> things,</c>

00:42:19.940 --> 00:42:21.440
then<00:42:20.219><c> do</c><00:42:20.579><c> it.</c>

00:42:21.619 --> 00:42:22.619
They're<00:42:21.739><c> not</c><00:42:21.880><c> easy</c><00:42:22.099><c> things</c><00:42:22.340><c> to</c><00:42:22.519><c> do,</c>

00:42:22.619 --> 00:42:23.260
any<00:42:22.840><c> of</c><00:42:22.980><c> them,</c>

00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:25.599
but<00:42:23.840><c> we</c><00:42:24.159><c> have</c><00:42:24.480><c> to</c><00:42:24.679><c> do</c><00:42:24.820><c> it.</c>

00:42:25.880 --> 00:42:26.880
Not<00:42:26.119><c> just</c><00:42:26.480><c> hearers,</c>

00:42:27.099 --> 00:42:28.760
but<00:42:27.480><c> doers.</c>

00:42:29.219 --> 00:42:31.619
For<00:42:29.639><c> if</c><00:42:30.179><c> any</c><00:42:30.480><c> be</c><00:42:30.739><c> a</c><00:42:30.940><c> hearer</c><00:42:31.179><c> of</c><00:42:31.300><c> the</c><00:42:31.460><c> Word</c>

00:42:31.619 --> 00:42:32.400
and<00:42:31.739><c> not</c><00:42:31.920><c> a</c><00:42:32.079><c> doer,</c>

00:42:32.400 --> 00:42:33.340
he's<00:42:32.820><c> like</c><00:42:33.019><c> a</c><00:42:33.159><c> man</c>

00:42:33.340 --> 00:42:36.079
beholding<00:42:33.760><c> his</c><00:42:33.940><c> natural</c><00:42:34.360><c> face</c><00:42:34.619><c> in</c><00:42:34.800><c> a</c><00:42:34.960><c> glass.</c>

00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:37.940
For<00:42:36.840><c> he</c><00:42:37.079><c> beholdeth</c><00:42:37.420><c> himself</c>

00:42:37.940 --> 00:42:39.199
and<00:42:38.420><c> goeth</c><00:42:38.679><c> his</c><00:42:38.880><c> way,</c>

00:42:39.420 --> 00:42:40.519
and<00:42:39.739><c> straightway</c><00:42:40.139><c> forgetteth</c>

00:42:40.519 --> 00:42:42.539
what<00:42:40.699><c> manner</c><00:42:40.960><c> of</c><00:42:41.139><c> man</c><00:42:41.239><c> he</c><00:42:41.360><c> was.</c>

00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:46.739
The<00:42:43.920><c> words</c><00:42:44.119><c> are</c><00:42:45.019><c> colourful.</c>

00:42:47.760 --> 00:42:49.440
The<00:42:48.320><c> meaning</c><00:42:48.739><c> is,</c>

00:42:49.639 --> 00:42:50.820
in<00:42:49.860><c> verse</c><00:42:50.079><c> 24,</c>

00:42:51.219 --> 00:42:52.780
he<00:42:51.480><c> beholdeth</c><00:42:52.219><c> himself,</c>

00:42:53.179 --> 00:42:54.719

00:42:54.860 --> 00:42:56.500
and<00:42:54.940><c> he</c><00:42:55.019><c> runs</c><00:42:55.320><c> off.</c>

00:42:56.940 --> 00:42:57.659
That's<00:42:57.059><c> it.</c>

00:42:59.719 --> 00:43:00.960
That's<00:43:00.280><c> what</c><00:43:00.400><c> it</c><00:43:00.539><c> feels</c><00:43:00.739><c> like.</c>

00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:02.159
Have<00:43:01.119><c> you</c><00:43:01.340><c> had</c><00:43:01.519><c> conversations</c>

00:43:02.159 --> 00:43:04.280

00:43:04.519 --> 00:43:04.960
How<00:43:04.679><c> are</c><00:43:04.780><c> you</c><00:43:04.860><c> doing?</c>

00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:05.400
I'm<00:43:05.039><c> doing</c><00:43:05.179><c> well.</c>

00:43:05.539 --> 00:43:06.420
Talk<00:43:05.579><c> to</c><00:43:05.679><c> you</c><00:43:05.739><c> later.</c>

00:43:06.980 --> 00:43:07.880
Right?

00:43:08.139 --> 00:43:08.900
That's<00:43:08.420><c> what</c><00:43:08.539><c> we</c><00:43:08.719><c> can</c><00:43:08.820><c> do</c>

00:43:08.900 --> 00:43:09.659
with<00:43:09.059><c> the</c><00:43:09.139><c> Word</c><00:43:09.239><c> of</c><00:43:09.440><c> God.</c>

00:43:09.980 --> 00:43:11.099
You<00:43:10.139><c> take</c><00:43:10.300><c> a</c><00:43:10.440><c> peek</c><00:43:10.559><c> into</c><00:43:10.780><c> it,</c>

00:43:11.340 --> 00:43:12.340
flashing<00:43:11.420><c> glance,</c>

00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:14.179
oh,<00:43:13.099><c> I</c><00:43:13.400><c> see</c><00:43:13.579><c> I'm</c><00:43:13.719><c> very</c><00:43:14.019><c> bad</c>

00:43:14.179 --> 00:43:15.880

00:43:16.719 --> 00:43:17.820
and<00:43:16.840><c> I've</c><00:43:17.059><c> got</c><00:43:17.139><c> to</c><00:43:17.300><c> go</c><00:43:17.440><c> now.</c>

00:43:18.219 --> 00:43:18.940
And<00:43:18.440><c> we're</c><00:43:18.659><c> gone.</c>

00:43:18.940 --> 00:43:19.599
We<00:43:19.159><c> run</c><00:43:19.380><c> off.</c>

00:43:19.739 --> 00:43:24.219
We<00:43:19.820><c> don't</c><00:43:20.960><c> stop</c><00:43:21.699><c> to</c><00:43:22.980><c> pause,</c>

00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:32.460
We<00:43:31.019><c> don't</c><00:43:31.340><c> read.</c>

00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:35.320
It's<00:43:34.440><c> going</c><00:43:34.579><c> to</c><00:43:34.820><c> kill</c><00:43:34.920><c> us</c>

00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:38.320
if<00:43:35.539><c> we</c><00:43:35.739><c> don't</c><00:43:35.980><c> start</c><00:43:36.260><c> learning</c><00:43:36.579><c> to</c><00:43:36.880><c> read.</c>

00:43:40.139 --> 00:43:41.500
Wonderful<00:43:40.679><c> works</c><00:43:41.000><c> of</c><00:43:41.199><c> literature</c>

00:43:50.519 --> 00:43:53.300
Good,<00:43:51.179><c> great</c><00:43:51.639><c> books</c><00:43:52.039><c> of</c><00:43:52.360><c> literature.</c>

00:43:54.440 --> 00:43:56.619
You<00:43:55.119><c> can</c><00:43:55.579><c> learn</c><00:43:55.800><c> many</c><00:43:56.139><c> things</c>

00:43:56.619 --> 00:43:58.239
from<00:43:56.860><c> writers</c><00:43:57.139><c> like</c><00:43:57.460><c> Dostoevsky</c>

00:43:58.239 --> 00:43:59.599
and<00:43:58.760><c> Tolstoy,</c>

00:44:02.119 --> 00:44:03.559
like<00:44:02.460><c> Franz</c><00:44:03.019><c> Kafka,</c>

00:44:03.900 --> 00:44:05.800
just<00:44:04.320><c> showing</c><00:44:04.579><c> you</c><00:44:04.920><c> the</c><00:44:05.260><c> ugly,</c>

00:44:06.300 --> 00:44:08.280
dark<00:44:06.619><c> wretchedness</c><00:44:07.280><c> of</c><00:44:07.500><c> human</c><00:44:07.739><c> life</c>

00:44:08.280 --> 00:44:09.860
apart<00:44:08.699><c> from</c><00:44:08.940><c> God.</c>

00:44:10.679 --> 00:44:11.920
But<00:44:10.920><c> when</c><00:44:11.079><c> you</c><00:44:11.280><c> read</c><00:44:11.460><c> the</c><00:44:11.659><c> Bible,</c>

00:44:12.119 --> 00:44:14.199
there's<00:44:12.360><c> nothing</c><00:44:12.960><c> like</c><00:44:13.500><c> it.</c>

00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:15.619
Nothing<00:44:14.940><c> like</c><00:44:15.340><c> it.</c>

00:44:15.619 --> 00:44:17.360
Nothing,<00:44:16.320><c> nothing.</c>

00:44:17.380 --> 00:44:19.599
Chaucer,<00:44:17.880><c> Shakespeare,</c><00:44:19.360><c> Keats,</c>

00:44:20.059 --> 00:44:22.059
nothing,<00:44:20.559><c> nothing</c><00:44:21.039><c> like</c><00:44:21.420><c> the</c><00:44:21.679><c> Bible.</c>

00:44:22.059 --> 00:44:24.940
It<00:44:22.920><c> is</c><00:44:23.519><c> powerful.</c>

00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:27.260
One<00:44:26.119><c> of</c><00:44:26.239><c> the</c><00:44:26.420><c> greatest</c><00:44:26.960><c> proofs</c>

00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:29.099
of<00:44:27.739><c> its</c><00:44:28.400><c> inspiration</c>

00:44:29.099 --> 00:44:31.000
is<00:44:29.360><c> the</c><00:44:29.699><c> transforming</c><00:44:30.480><c> effect</c>

00:44:31.000 --> 00:44:34.500
it<00:44:31.260><c> has</c><00:44:31.460><c> in</c><00:44:31.739><c> a</c><00:44:31.880><c> man</c><00:44:32.139><c> or</c><00:44:32.360><c> a</c><00:44:32.519><c> woman's</c><00:44:34.000><c> life</c>

00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:38.019
through<00:44:35.320><c> daily</c><00:44:35.719><c> familiarity</c><00:44:36.400><c> with</c><00:44:36.639><c> it.</c>

00:44:38.659 --> 00:44:39.980
That's<00:44:39.079><c> true.</c>

00:44:40.099 --> 00:44:42.119
But<00:44:40.440><c> when</c><00:44:40.800><c> we</c><00:44:41.019><c> look</c><00:44:41.219><c> into</c><00:44:41.500><c> it,</c>

00:44:42.420 --> 00:44:44.400
we<00:44:42.579><c> have</c><00:44:42.880><c> to</c><00:44:43.239><c> take</c><00:44:43.679><c> the</c><00:44:43.980><c> time</c>

00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:46.699
to<00:44:45.159><c> focus</c><00:44:45.559><c> on</c><00:44:45.719><c> what</c><00:44:45.880><c> it's</c><00:44:46.159><c> showing</c><00:44:46.340><c> us.</c>

00:44:46.980 --> 00:44:48.800
He<00:44:47.280><c> says,</c><00:44:48.139><c> he</c><00:44:48.340><c> runs</c><00:44:48.599><c> off</c>

00:44:48.800 --> 00:44:49.539
and<00:44:48.940><c> he</c><00:44:49.119><c> forgets,</c>

00:44:49.539 --> 00:44:51.440
he<00:44:49.860><c> forgets</c><00:44:50.280><c> what</c><00:44:50.460><c> manner</c><00:44:50.679><c> of</c><00:44:50.880><c> man</c><00:44:51.019><c> he</c><00:44:51.139><c> was.</c>

00:44:51.440 --> 00:44:52.820
Now<00:44:51.880><c> you</c><00:44:51.960><c> notice</c><00:44:52.139><c> it</c><00:44:52.300><c> doesn't</c><00:44:52.599><c> use</c>

00:44:52.820 --> 00:44:53.880
the<00:44:52.940><c> example</c><00:44:53.219><c> of</c><00:44:53.400><c> a</c><00:44:53.500><c> woman</c>

00:44:53.880 --> 00:44:55.119
looking<00:44:54.340><c> into</c><00:44:54.639><c> a</c><00:44:54.780><c> mirror</c>

00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:56.579
because<00:44:55.679><c> she</c><00:44:55.900><c> never</c><00:44:56.179><c> forgets</c>

00:44:56.579 --> 00:44:58.820
what<00:44:56.659><c> she</c><00:44:56.840><c> looks</c><00:44:57.079><c> like.</c>

00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:00.579
She's<00:44:59.699><c> always</c><00:45:00.039><c> paying</c><00:45:00.280><c> attention</c>

00:45:00.980 --> 00:45:03.139
to<00:45:01.400><c> every</c><00:45:02.340><c> freckle,</c>

00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:04.860
every<00:45:03.780><c> wrinkle</c><00:45:04.179><c> that's</c><00:45:04.539><c> developing,</c>

00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:06.820
every<00:45:05.699><c> gray</c><00:45:06.000><c> hair</c><00:45:06.199><c> that</c><00:45:06.500><c> manages</c>

00:45:06.820 --> 00:45:08.380
to<00:45:07.159><c> make</c><00:45:07.300><c> it</c><00:45:07.480><c> into</c><00:45:07.739><c> her</c><00:45:08.019><c> eyebrow,</c>

00:45:08.500 --> 00:45:09.519
everything.

00:45:09.599 --> 00:45:10.340
A<00:45:09.659><c> man</c><00:45:09.860><c> looks</c><00:45:10.119><c> in</c><00:45:10.280><c> the</c><00:45:10.340><c> mirror</c>

00:45:10.340 --> 00:45:11.539
and<00:45:10.619><c> says,</c><00:45:10.980><c> that's</c><00:45:11.039><c> still</c><00:45:11.280><c> me,</c>

00:45:11.539 --> 00:45:12.659
and<00:45:11.679><c> he's</c><00:45:11.860><c> gone.</c>

00:45:15.500 --> 00:45:17.940
So<00:45:16.099><c> here</c><00:45:16.699><c> it</c><00:45:16.920><c> says</c><00:45:17.119><c> instead,</c>

00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:19.960
verse<00:45:18.599><c> 25,</c>

00:45:32.719 --> 00:45:33.820
Please.

00:45:34.900 --> 00:45:37.400
If<00:45:35.500><c> you</c><00:45:35.800><c> have</c><00:45:35.980><c> the</c><00:45:36.219><c> money</c><00:45:36.539><c> to,</c>

00:45:48.860 --> 00:45:50.659
There's<00:45:49.539><c> no</c><00:45:49.659><c> Bible</c><00:45:49.960><c> like</c><00:45:50.280><c> it.</c>

00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:52.539
It's<00:45:51.219><c> the</c><00:45:51.579><c> greatest.</c>

00:45:53.059 --> 00:45:53.940

00:46:02.219 --> 00:46:03.340

00:48:57.900 --> 00:48:59.260

00:49:26.519 --> 00:49:29.699
Little<00:49:26.760><c> you,</c><00:49:27.840><c> little</c><00:49:28.300><c> you,</c>

00:49:29.780 --> 00:49:30.820
with<00:49:29.900><c> the</c><00:49:30.119><c> people</c><00:49:30.300><c> that</c><00:49:30.500><c> you</c><00:49:30.659><c> know</c>

00:49:33.239 --> 00:49:35.679
And<00:49:33.719><c> so</c><00:49:33.960><c> he</c><00:49:34.079><c> says,</c><00:49:34.820><c> verse</c><00:49:35.139><c> 26,</c>

00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:37.119
If<00:49:36.059><c> any</c><00:49:36.300><c> man</c><00:49:36.559><c> among</c><00:49:36.760><c> you</c>

00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:39.179
appears<00:49:37.659><c> to</c><00:49:37.800><c> be</c><00:49:38.119><c> religious,</c>

00:49:39.400 --> 00:49:42.460
while<00:49:39.519><c> he</c><00:49:40.000><c> doesn't</c><00:49:40.579><c> control</c><00:49:41.159><c> his</c><00:49:41.559><c> tongue,</c>

00:49:42.760 --> 00:49:44.300
he's<00:49:43.139><c> deceiving</c><00:49:43.519><c> his</c><00:49:43.780><c> own</c><00:49:44.019><c> heart.</c>

00:49:44.599 --> 00:49:46.340
That<00:49:44.940><c> man's</c><00:49:45.360><c> religion</c><00:49:45.639><c> is</c><00:49:45.880><c> empty.</c>

00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:47.679
It's<00:49:47.099><c> barren.</c>

00:49:47.960 --> 00:49:48.699
It's<00:49:48.280><c> vain.</c>

00:49:49.059 --> 00:49:50.000
It's<00:49:49.420><c> fruitless.</c>

00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:51.579
It's<00:49:50.679><c> of</c><00:49:50.820><c> no</c><00:49:51.099><c> account.</c>

00:49:51.840 --> 00:49:53.260
It's<00:49:52.340><c> worthless.</c>

00:49:56.079 --> 00:49:57.639
Our<00:49:56.500><c> religion</c>

00:49:57.679 --> 00:50:00.199
is<00:49:58.519><c> not</c><00:49:58.719><c> a</c><00:49:58.820><c> thing</c><00:49:58.960><c> of</c><00:49:59.199><c> ritual.</c>

00:50:00.980 --> 00:50:02.980
It's<00:50:01.320><c> a</c><00:50:01.400><c> thing</c><00:50:01.539><c> of</c><00:50:01.820><c> behavior.</c>

00:50:03.599 --> 00:50:05.800
It's<00:50:04.460><c> a</c><00:50:04.519><c> thing</c><00:50:04.659><c> of</c><00:50:05.079><c> action</c>

00:50:05.800 --> 00:50:07.800
and<00:50:06.739><c> belief,</c>

00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:11.099
action<00:50:08.780><c> motivated</c><00:50:09.579><c> by</c><00:50:10.579><c> belief,</c>

00:50:11.460 --> 00:50:12.320
pure<00:50:11.659><c> religion,</c><00:50:12.179><c> he</c><00:50:12.179><c> says,</c>

00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:14.099
and<00:50:12.519><c> undefiled,</c>

00:50:14.320 --> 00:50:16.619
before<00:50:14.739><c> God,</c><00:50:15.619><c> not</c><00:50:15.820><c> before</c><00:50:16.179><c> man.</c>

00:50:17.039 --> 00:50:19.369
And<00:50:17.219><c> the</c><00:50:17.599><c> Father</c><00:50:18.019><c> is</c><00:50:18.440><c> this,</c>

00:50:19.739 --> 00:50:21.940
to<00:50:20.099><c> visit</c><00:50:20.579><c> the</c><00:50:21.139><c> fatherless</c>

00:50:21.940 --> 00:50:26.000
and<00:50:22.639><c> widows</c><00:50:23.239><c> in</c><00:50:24.000><c> their</c><00:50:24.400><c> affliction,</c>

00:50:26.440 --> 00:50:28.460
in<00:50:26.619><c> their</c><00:50:27.019><c> anguish,</c>

00:50:28.900 --> 00:50:30.300
in<00:50:29.039><c> their</c><00:50:29.380><c> torment,</c>

00:50:30.300 --> 00:50:34.159
in<00:50:31.199><c> their</c><00:50:31.539><c> desperate</c><00:50:32.139><c> need</c><00:50:32.679><c> for</c><00:50:33.079><c> love.</c>

00:50:34.679 --> 00:50:35.820
And<00:50:34.760><c> the</c><00:50:34.860><c> word</c><00:50:34.980><c> visit,</c>

00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:37.519
oh,<00:50:36.739><c> there's</c><00:50:36.880><c> no</c><00:50:37.099><c> time.</c>

00:50:37.940 --> 00:50:39.179
Time's<00:50:38.320><c> gone.</c>

00:50:39.619 --> 00:50:41.880
But<00:50:39.760><c> the</c><00:50:39.920><c> word</c><00:50:40.139><c> visit</c><00:50:40.460><c> is</c><00:50:40.659><c> so</c><00:50:40.900><c> beautiful.</c>

00:50:42.019 --> 00:50:43.000
It<00:50:42.159><c> doesn't</c><00:50:42.380><c> mean</c><00:50:42.579><c> just</c><00:50:42.780><c> to</c><00:50:42.900><c> go</c>

00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:44.280
and<00:50:43.139><c> make</c><00:50:43.260><c> a</c><00:50:43.480><c> visit.</c>

00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:46.039
It<00:50:44.699><c> means</c><00:50:45.099><c> to</c><00:50:45.579><c> visit</c>

00:50:46.039 --> 00:50:48.599
with<00:50:46.440><c> the</c><00:50:46.780><c> intent</c><00:50:47.099><c> of</c><00:50:47.539><c> relieving</c>

00:50:48.599 --> 00:50:50.300
the<00:50:49.280><c> difficulty</c><00:50:49.760><c> and</c><00:50:50.039><c> trouble</c>

00:50:50.300 --> 00:50:51.460
that<00:50:50.519><c> somebody's</c><00:50:50.940><c> going</c><00:50:51.079><c> through.</c>

00:50:51.960 --> 00:50:54.139
God<00:50:52.480><c> visited</c><00:50:53.019><c> man</c><00:50:53.619><c> in</c><00:50:53.980><c> that</c>

00:50:54.139 --> 00:50:56.420
he<00:50:54.360><c> brought</c><00:50:54.619><c> Christ</c><00:50:55.039><c> into</c><00:50:55.260><c> the</c><00:50:55.519><c> world.</c>

00:50:56.440 --> 00:50:58.059
We<00:50:56.599><c> see</c><00:50:56.719><c> that</c><00:50:57.000><c> word</c><00:50:57.179><c> visit</c><00:50:57.519><c> used</c>

00:50:58.059 --> 00:51:01.440
by<00:50:58.860><c> both</c><00:50:59.360><c> Zechariah</c><00:51:00.440><c> and</c><00:51:00.900><c> Mary</c>

00:51:01.440 --> 00:51:03.659
in<00:51:01.860><c> their</c><00:51:02.619><c> beautiful</c><00:51:03.139><c> poems</c>

00:51:03.659 --> 00:51:05.800
of<00:51:03.940><c> rejoicing</c><00:51:04.539><c> in</c><00:51:04.840><c> Luke</c><00:51:05.059><c> chapter</c><00:51:05.420><c> 1,</c>

00:51:05.960 --> 00:51:08.659
both<00:51:06.360><c> in</c><00:51:06.659><c> connection</c><00:51:07.159><c> with</c><00:51:07.820><c> God</c>

00:51:08.659 --> 00:51:11.920
coming<00:51:09.260><c> to</c><00:51:09.860><c> relieve</c><00:51:10.460><c> the</c><00:51:10.880><c> miserable,</c>

00:51:11.960 --> 00:51:13.460
the<00:51:12.380><c> misery</c><00:51:12.699><c> of</c><00:51:12.940><c> man</c>

00:51:13.460 --> 00:51:15.659

00:51:16.380 --> 00:51:18.739
So<00:51:16.679><c> God</c><00:51:17.039><c> can</c><00:51:17.340><c> use</c><00:51:17.639><c> you</c>

00:51:19.059 --> 00:51:22.699
to<00:51:19.480><c> relieve</c><00:51:19.860><c> someone</c><00:51:20.699><c> else's</c><00:51:21.619><c> misery</c>

00:51:23.059 --> 00:51:24.579
and<00:51:23.500><c> the</c><00:51:23.719><c> love</c><00:51:23.860><c> that</c><00:51:24.079><c> you</c><00:51:24.340><c> show,</c>

00:51:24.840 --> 00:51:25.780
the<00:51:25.119><c> concern,</c>

00:51:26.119 --> 00:51:27.039
not<00:51:26.239><c> to</c><00:51:26.420><c> talk,</c><00:51:26.579><c> talk,</c><00:51:26.719><c> talk,</c><00:51:26.880><c> talk,</c>

00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:31.820

00:51:33.039 --> 00:51:35.440
So<00:51:33.539><c> there</c><00:51:33.679><c> we</c><00:51:33.860><c> have</c><00:51:33.980><c> it,</c><00:51:34.079><c> brothers</c><00:51:34.300><c> and</c><00:51:34.579><c> sisters.</c>

00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:40.739
And<00:51:36.280><c> finally,</c><00:51:37.820><c> our</c><00:51:38.019><c> religion</c><00:51:38.820><c> involves</c>

00:51:40.860 --> 00:51:43.820
keeping<00:51:41.219><c> ourselves</c><00:51:42.099><c> uncontaminated</c>

00:51:43.820 --> 00:51:48.219
