perhaps<00:13:16.500><c> there's</c><00:13:16.720><c> an</c><00:13:16.980><c> important</c><00:13:17.320><c> principle</c><00:13:17.639><c> that</c><00:13:17.759><c> needs</c><00:13:17.940><c> to</c>

00:13:18.100 --> 00:13:19.899
be<00:13:18.220><c> teased</c><00:13:18.460><c> out</c><00:13:18.600><c> a</c><00:13:18.720><c> little</c><00:13:18.960><c> bit</c><00:13:19.200><c> more</c><00:13:19.480><c> here.</c>

00:13:20.299 --> 00:13:21.519
Because<00:13:20.620><c> the</c><00:13:20.840><c> principle</c><00:13:21.159><c> is</c><00:13:21.360><c> this.</c>

00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:27.360
Return<00:13:22.039><c> unto</c><00:13:22.360><c> me</c><00:13:22.980><c> and</c><00:13:23.299><c> I</c><00:13:23.860><c> will</c><00:13:24.340><c> return</c><00:13:24.960><c> unto</c><00:13:25.539><c> you,</c><00:13:26.659><c> Seth</c><00:13:26.940><c> the</c>

00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:28.539
Lord<00:13:27.759><c> God.</c>

00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:33.059
We've<00:13:29.159><c> read</c><00:13:29.379><c> earlier</c><00:13:29.940><c> that</c><00:13:30.299><c> the</c><00:13:30.580><c> Lord</c><00:13:30.899><c> God</c><00:13:31.299><c> does</c><00:13:31.799><c> not</c><00:13:32.460><c> change.</c>

00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:35.000
This<00:13:33.779><c> is</c><00:13:34.059><c> the</c><00:13:34.220><c> way</c><00:13:34.399><c> he</c><00:13:34.659><c> is.</c>

00:13:35.019 --> 00:13:37.460
He's<00:13:35.340><c> the</c><00:13:35.519><c> same</c><00:13:35.700><c> from</c><00:13:35.899><c> the</c><00:13:35.980><c> very</c><00:13:36.179><c> beginning</c><00:13:36.639><c> right</c><00:13:37.080><c> to</c><00:13:37.279><c> the</c>

00:13:37.460 --> 00:13:38.220
very<00:13:37.879><c> end.</c>

00:13:38.220 --> 00:13:40.480
And<00:13:38.519><c> therefore</c><00:13:38.700><c> his</c><00:13:38.960><c> purpose</c><00:13:39.720><c> holds</c><00:13:40.159><c> sure.</c>

00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:42.120
He<00:13:41.080><c> does</c><00:13:41.440><c> not</c><00:13:41.759><c> move.</c>

00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.779
He<00:13:42.559><c> is</c><00:13:42.820><c> the</c><00:13:42.960><c> one</c><00:13:43.139><c> who</c><00:13:43.279><c> has</c><00:13:43.580><c> provided</c><00:13:44.379><c> the</c><00:13:45.299><c> revelation.</c>

00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:49.539
He<00:13:46.100><c> is</c><00:13:46.240><c> the</c><00:13:46.360><c> one</c><00:13:46.460><c> who</c><00:13:46.559><c> has</c><00:13:46.899><c> provided</c><00:13:47.320><c> the</c><00:13:47.659><c> means</c><00:13:48.240><c> of</c><00:13:49.019><c> forgiveness</c>

00:13:49.539 --> 00:13:52.299
for<00:13:49.799><c> the</c><00:13:50.100><c> removal</c><00:13:50.399><c> of</c><00:13:50.620><c> iniquity</c><00:13:51.179><c> and</c><00:13:52.000><c> guilt.</c>

00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:54.080
He<00:13:53.000><c> does</c><00:13:53.340><c> not</c><00:13:53.639><c> move.</c>

00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:56.899
So<00:13:54.679><c> now</c><00:13:54.940><c> it's</c><00:13:55.279><c> time</c><00:13:55.600><c> for</c><00:13:56.080><c> you</c><00:13:56.360><c> to</c><00:13:56.600><c> move.</c>

00:13:57.100 --> 00:13:58.000
You<00:13:57.399><c> must</c><00:13:57.720><c> move.</c>

00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.059
You<00:13:58.700><c> must</c><00:13:59.059><c> return</c><00:13:59.700><c> unto</c><00:14:00.600><c> me.</c>

00:14:01.259 --> 00:14:06.779
The<00:14:01.480><c> Lord</c><00:14:01.720><c> God</c><00:14:02.039><c> is</c><00:14:02.759><c> reconciling</c><00:14:03.799><c> his</c><00:14:04.139><c> people</c><00:14:04.860><c> to</c><00:14:06.039><c> himself.</c>

00:14:06.779 --> 00:14:09.019
It's<00:14:07.200><c> a</c><00:14:07.200><c> very</c><00:14:07.460><c> important</c><00:14:07.960><c> principle.</c>

00:14:09.620 --> 00:14:10.720
We<00:14:09.799><c> must</c><00:14:10.039><c> turn</c><00:14:10.320><c> to</c><00:14:10.500><c> God.</c>

00:14:10.980 --> 00:14:15.539
It<00:14:11.080><c> comes</c><00:14:11.360><c> out</c><00:14:11.740><c> particularly</c><00:14:12.399><c> in</c><00:14:13.600><c> James</c><00:14:14.100><c> 4</c><00:14:14.639><c> and</c><00:14:14.860><c> verse</c><00:14:15.240><c> 8.</c>

00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:18.299
Do<00:14:15.740><c> you</c><00:14:15.740><c> remember</c><00:14:16.159><c> where</c><00:14:16.480><c> it</c><00:14:16.720><c> talks</c><00:14:17.019><c> about</c><00:14:17.460><c> drawing</c><00:14:18.039><c> nigh</c>

00:14:18.299 --> 00:14:18.980
unto<00:14:18.559><c> God?</c>

00:14:19.299 --> 00:14:23.759
Draw<00:14:19.659><c> nigh</c><00:14:20.039><c> unto</c><00:14:20.419><c> me</c><00:14:20.679><c> and</c><00:14:20.840><c> I</c><00:14:21.120><c> will</c><00:14:21.480><c> draw</c><00:14:22.200><c> nigh</c><00:14:22.779><c> unto</c><00:14:23.259><c> you.</c>

00:14:24.220 --> 00:14:25.720
And<00:14:24.379><c> he</c><00:14:24.519><c> goes</c><00:14:24.759><c> on</c><00:14:25.019><c> in</c><00:14:25.179><c> that</c><00:14:25.419><c> section.</c>

00:14:25.860 --> 00:14:32.379
And<00:14:25.940><c> it's</c><00:14:26.240><c> almost</c><00:14:26.519><c> an</c><00:14:26.799><c> exposition</c><00:14:27.940><c> of</c><00:14:29.539><c> 1</c><00:14:30.620><c> Kings</c><00:14:31.320><c> 18,</c><00:14:32.000><c> is</c><00:14:32.200><c> it,</c>

Purify<00:14:57.399><c> your</c><00:14:57.799><c> heart.</c>

00:15:13.179 --> 00:15:15.059
We<00:15:13.279><c> are</c><00:15:13.480><c> the</c><00:15:13.600><c> ones</c><00:15:13.960><c> who</c><00:15:14.179><c> need</c><00:15:14.340><c> to</c><00:15:14.580><c> make</c><00:15:14.759><c> the</c><00:15:14.899><c> move.</c>

00:15:15.179 --> 00:15:19.299

00:15:19.299 --> 00:15:21.500
though<00:15:19.399><c> we've</c><00:15:19.600><c> drifted</c><00:15:19.980><c> away</c><00:15:20.379><c> from</c><00:15:20.919><c> our</c><00:15:21.299><c> God</c>

00:15:23.899 --> 00:15:25.080
And<00:15:23.980><c> it's</c><00:15:24.220><c> not</c><00:15:24.580><c> God.</c>

00:15:25.340 --> 00:15:26.279
That's<00:15:25.720><c> the</c><00:15:25.919><c> point.</c>

00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:34.200
And<00:15:27.200><c> we</c><00:15:28.480><c> need</c><00:15:28.759><c> to</c><00:15:29.519><c> think</c><00:15:29.799><c> about</c><00:15:30.480><c> drawing</c><00:15:30.860><c> back</c><00:15:31.200><c> to</c><00:15:31.340><c> him,</c><00:15:31.700><c> retracing</c><00:15:32.559><c> our</c><00:15:33.159><c> steps.</c>

00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:35.860
And<00:15:34.399><c> you</c><00:15:34.480><c> see,</c><00:15:34.620><c> they</c><00:15:34.799><c> can't</c><00:15:35.200><c> see</c><00:15:35.460><c> it.</c>

00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:39.139
They<00:15:36.299><c> can't</c><00:15:36.639><c> see</c><00:15:36.860><c> that</c><00:15:37.000><c> they</c><00:15:37.139><c> have</c><00:15:37.379><c> to</c><00:15:37.500><c> say</c><00:15:37.720><c> sorry</c><00:15:38.360><c> for</c><00:15:38.820><c> anything.</c>

00:15:39.299 --> 00:15:42.360
They<00:15:39.500><c> can't</c><00:15:39.779><c> see</c><00:15:39.980><c> that</c><00:15:40.120><c> they</c><00:15:40.299><c> have</c><00:15:40.500><c> to</c><00:15:40.639><c> do</c><00:15:40.779><c> the</c><00:15:40.940><c> movement</c><00:15:41.240><c> back.</c>

00:15:43.700 --> 00:15:45.940
It<00:15:44.220><c> says</c><00:15:44.500><c> there,</c><00:15:44.960><c> wherein</c><00:15:45.259><c> shall</c><00:15:45.519><c> we</c><00:15:45.759><c> return?</c>

Everything's<00:15:47.960><c> fine.</c>

00:15:51.779 --> 00:15:52.559
They're<00:15:52.039><c> blind.</c>

00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:58.299

00:15:58.399 --> 00:16:00.980
Whether<00:15:58.580><c> it's</c><00:15:58.799><c> because</c><00:15:59.039><c> of</c><00:15:59.220><c> ignorance</c><00:15:59.580><c> or</c><00:15:59.860><c> whether</c><00:15:59.940><c> it's</c><00:16:00.159><c> because</c><00:16:00.460><c> of</c>

Once<00:16:05.740><c> you</c><00:16:05.919><c> decide</c><00:16:06.320><c> that,</c><00:16:06.659><c> then</c><00:16:06.799><c> you</c><00:16:06.919><c> start</c><00:16:07.120><c> to</c><00:16:07.399><c> rationalize</c>

00:16:07.940 --> 00:16:08.879

00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:22.559
So<00:21:17.400><c> I</c><00:21:18.680><c> wouldn't</c><00:21:18.940><c> take</c><00:21:19.200><c> a</c><00:21:19.339><c> heave</c><00:21:19.539><c> offering</c><00:21:19.859><c> this</c><00:21:21.259><c> week</c><00:21:21.539><c> either.</c>

00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:35.160
So<00:21:32.319><c> they</c><00:21:32.480><c> think,</c><00:21:33.039><c> well,</c><00:21:33.240><c> why</c><00:21:33.539><c> should</c><00:21:33.799><c> my</c><00:21:34.079><c> commitment</c><00:21:34.420><c> be</c><00:21:34.680><c> quite</c><00:21:34.900><c> as</c>

00:21:36.420 --> 00:21:40.359
If<00:21:36.559><c> that's</c><00:21:36.859><c> the</c><00:21:36.920><c> way</c><00:21:37.019><c> to</c><00:21:37.220><c> behave,</c><00:21:37.579><c> then</c><00:21:37.660><c> that's</c><00:21:37.900><c> the</c><00:21:38.000><c> way</c><00:21:38.160><c> I</c><00:21:39.119><c> will</c><00:21:39.279><c> behave</c><00:21:39.599><c> as</c><00:21:39.859><c> well.</c>

00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:44.539
And<00:21:41.079><c> so</c><00:21:41.299><c> there's</c><00:21:41.539><c> a</c><00:21:41.740><c> downward</c><00:21:42.119><c> spiral</c><00:21:42.720><c> of</c><00:21:43.220><c> each</c><00:21:43.599><c> withholding</c>

00:22:14.180 --> 00:22:18.660

00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:14.140
I<00:32:11.140><c> think</c><00:32:11.359><c> it's</c><00:32:11.519><c> a</c><00:32:11.619><c> little</c><00:32:11.740><c> bit</c><00:32:11.900><c> further</c><00:32:12.140><c> on</c><00:32:12.359><c> in</c><00:32:12.880><c> that</c><00:32:13.559><c> verse,</c>
