the<00:23:43.440><c> flag</c><00:23:43.799><c> and</c><00:23:43.980><c> all</c><00:23:44.140><c> these</c><00:23:44.319><c> things.</c>

00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:51.579

00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:04.359
That<00:24:00.019><c> it</c><00:24:00.140><c> was</c><00:24:00.319><c> necessary</c><00:24:00.759><c> for</c><00:24:01.039><c> one</c><00:24:01.480><c> to</c><00:24:02.319><c> live</c><00:24:02.640><c> in</c><00:24:03.000><c> perfect</c><00:24:03.279><c> obedience.</c>

00:24:05.420 --> 00:24:08.839
It<00:24:05.579><c> was</c><00:24:05.779><c> necessary</c><00:24:06.319><c> by</c><00:24:06.660><c> God's</c><00:24:07.119><c> great</c><00:24:07.359><c> standards</c><00:24:07.680><c> of</c><00:24:07.960><c> righteousness</c>

And<00:26:51.059><c> Jesus</c><00:26:51.279><c> answered</c><00:26:51.579><c> him,</c><00:26:52.380><c> What</c><00:26:52.619><c> I</c><00:26:52.779><c> am</c><00:26:52.900><c> doing</c><00:26:53.160><c> you</c><00:26:53.339><c> do</c><00:26:53.500><c> not</c>

00:41:20.619 --> 00:41:25.199
Sometimes<00:41:21.019><c> I</c><00:41:21.280><c> reflect</c><00:41:21.619><c> upon</c><00:41:21.860><c> that</c><00:41:24.239><c> statement</c><00:41:24.659><c> which</c><00:41:24.940><c> we</c><00:41:25.119><c> read</c>

00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:40.420
Sometimes<00:41:38.440><c> I</c><00:41:38.719><c> wonder</c><00:41:39.059><c> whether</c><00:41:39.260><c> I</c><00:41:39.460><c> have</c><00:41:39.460><c> been</c><00:41:39.639><c> with</c><00:41:39.860><c> the</c><00:41:39.960><c> Lord</c>

00:41:51.860 --> 00:41:55.460
It<00:41:52.500><c> just</c><00:41:52.699><c> so</c><00:41:52.920><c> happens</c><00:41:53.159><c> that</c><00:41:53.400><c> lately</c><00:41:53.619><c> I've</c><00:41:53.960><c> seen</c><00:41:54.599><c> great</c><00:41:55.099><c> acts</c>

00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:13.380
