00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:14.340
Because<00:14:12.100><c> we</c><00:14:12.379><c> are</c><00:14:12.600><c> part</c><00:14:12.799><c> of</c><00:14:12.960><c> a</c><00:14:13.139><c> very</c><00:14:13.480><c> tight</c><00:14:13.700><c>-knit</c><00:14:13.899><c> community.</c>

00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:19.000
That's<00:14:14.860><c> something</c><00:14:15.100><c> I</c><00:14:15.360><c> always</c><00:14:16.259><c> try</c><00:14:16.620><c> to</c><00:14:16.980><c> advertise</c><00:14:17.419><c> for</c><00:14:17.759><c> Christadelphians.</c>

Who<00:14:19.399><c> else?</c>

00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:23.259
Don't<00:14:21.600><c> be</c><00:14:21.779><c> bashful.</c>

00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.600

00:14:55.220 --> 00:14:56.279
Well...

00:14:59.860 --> 00:15:03.860
I<00:15:00.259><c> didn't</c><00:15:00.440><c> know</c><00:15:00.559><c> much</c><00:15:00.799><c> about</c><00:15:00.960><c> the</c><00:15:01.120><c> Bible</c><00:15:01.340><c> before</c><00:15:01.740><c> I</c><00:15:01.899><c> became</c><00:15:02.100><c> a</c><00:15:02.259><c> Christadelphian.</c>

00:15:04.139 --> 00:15:08.019
And<00:15:04.139><c> it</c><00:15:05.500><c> gives</c><00:15:05.659><c> me</c><00:15:06.299><c> a</c><00:15:06.600><c> purpose</c><00:15:06.940><c> in</c><00:15:07.159><c> life.</c>

00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:10.379
And<00:15:08.100><c> I</c><00:15:08.940><c> didn't</c><00:15:09.120><c> really</c><00:15:09.340><c> have</c><00:15:09.559><c> one</c><00:15:09.840><c> beforehand.</c>

00:15:13.259 --> 00:15:13.940
into<00:15:13.460><c> problems</c>

00:15:13.940 --> 00:15:16.159

00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:17.519
way<00:15:16.279><c> it</c><00:15:16.399><c> should</c><00:15:16.580><c> go,</c>

00:15:17.899 --> 00:15:20.879
you<00:15:18.019><c> feel</c><00:15:18.179><c> like</c><00:15:18.460><c> it</c><00:15:18.659><c> doesn't</c><00:15:19.519><c> really</c><00:15:20.139><c> ultimately</c><00:15:20.580><c> matter</c>

00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:23.960
because<00:15:21.200><c> the</c><00:15:21.399><c> hope</c><00:15:21.539><c> that</c><00:15:21.700><c> you</c><00:15:21.919><c> have</c><00:15:22.259><c> is</c><00:15:23.220><c> going</c><00:15:23.379><c> to</c><00:15:23.659><c> take</c><00:15:23.840><c> care</c>

00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:24.820
of<00:15:24.059><c> itself</c><00:15:24.340><c> in</c><00:15:24.539><c> the</c><00:15:24.659><c> end.</c>

00:15:25.059 --> 00:15:27.179
And<00:15:25.200><c> Christ</c><00:15:25.399><c> comes</c><00:15:25.659><c> back</c><00:15:25.980><c> and</c><00:15:26.240><c> whatever</c><00:15:26.480><c> problems</c><00:15:26.860><c> that</c><00:15:27.059><c> we</c>

00:15:27.179 --> 00:15:28.100

00:15:32.220 --> 00:15:33.279
Well<00:15:32.480><c> said.</c>

00:15:33.539 --> 00:15:36.940
Let<00:15:33.779><c> me</c><00:15:33.860><c> see</c><00:15:33.980><c> if</c><00:15:34.139><c> I</c><00:15:34.220><c> can</c><00:15:34.419><c> put</c><00:15:34.600><c> that</c><00:15:34.840><c> on</c><00:15:35.700><c> our</c><00:15:35.980><c> flipboard.</c>

00:15:37.100 --> 00:15:40.940
Would<00:15:37.240><c> you</c><00:15:37.480><c> say</c><00:15:38.059><c> that</c><00:15:38.899><c> we</c><00:15:39.100><c> have</c><00:15:39.259><c> a</c><00:15:39.440><c> sense</c><00:15:39.620><c> of</c><00:15:39.940><c> direction</c>

00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:44.779
because<00:15:41.919><c> of</c><00:15:42.220><c> our</c><00:15:43.080><c> shared</c><00:15:43.379><c> love</c><00:15:43.620><c> of</c><00:15:43.779><c> the</c><00:15:43.960><c> Scriptures?</c>

00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:48.379
Okay.

00:15:48.899 --> 00:15:50.100
Let's<00:15:49.059><c> see.</c>

00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:51.919
Sense<00:15:50.779><c> of</c><00:15:51.100><c> direction.</c>

00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:53.559
Sense<00:15:51.919><c> of</c><00:15:53.059><c> direction.</c>

00:15:56.940 --> 00:15:58.600
And<00:15:57.539><c> you</c><00:15:57.879><c> also...</c>

00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:00.740
Maybe<00:15:58.840><c> we</c><00:15:59.000><c> should</c><00:15:59.100><c> make</c><00:15:59.240><c> this</c><00:15:59.440><c> as</c><00:15:59.580><c> two</c><00:15:59.820><c> items.</c>

00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:02.480
Another<00:16:01.120><c> one</c><00:16:01.399><c> is...</c>

00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:05.100
And<00:16:02.799><c> I</c><00:16:02.899><c> think</c><00:16:03.039><c> this</c><00:16:03.279><c> is</c><00:16:03.679><c> a</c><00:16:03.799><c> lovely</c><00:16:04.159><c> thing,</c><00:16:04.399><c> a</c><00:16:04.440><c> very</c><00:16:04.820><c> special</c>

00:16:07.019 --> 00:16:10.179
is<00:16:07.179><c> that</c><00:16:07.360><c> we</c><00:16:07.679><c> love</c><00:16:08.500><c> the</c><00:16:09.220><c> Scriptures.</c>

00:16:17.460 --> 00:16:19.419
What<00:16:18.059><c> does</c><00:16:18.659><c> it</c><00:16:18.700><c> say</c><00:16:18.879><c> in</c><00:16:19.039><c> Scripture?</c>

00:16:19.419 --> 00:16:22.399
Let<00:16:20.000><c> us</c><00:16:20.200><c> not</c><00:16:20.399><c> love</c><00:16:20.620><c> in</c><00:16:20.860><c> word</c><00:16:21.159><c> but</c><00:16:21.379><c> in</c><00:16:21.600><c> deed</c><00:16:21.740><c> and</c><00:16:21.919><c> in</c><00:16:22.120><c> truth?</c>

00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:24.080
Where<00:16:22.840><c> does</c><00:16:22.960><c> it</c><00:16:23.019><c> say</c><00:16:23.220><c> that?</c>

00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.600
It<00:16:25.299><c> escapes</c><00:16:25.460><c> me</c><00:16:25.720><c> off</c><00:16:25.840><c> the</c><00:16:25.919><c> top</c><00:16:26.019><c> of</c><00:16:26.179><c> my</c><00:16:26.240><c> head,</c><00:16:26.379><c> but</c><00:16:26.559><c> I</c><00:16:26.679><c> think</c><00:16:27.100><c> it's</c><00:16:27.220><c> in</c><00:16:27.399><c> James.</c>

00:16:27.700 --> 00:16:28.860
I'm<00:16:27.779><c> not</c><00:16:27.960><c> positive.</c>

00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:30.320
Pardon?

00:16:32.460 --> 00:16:33.580

00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:36.380
I<00:23:33.940><c> imagine</c><00:23:34.279><c> we</c><00:23:34.440><c> could</c><00:23:34.619><c> tell</c><00:23:34.779><c> a</c><00:23:34.880><c> lot</c><00:23:35.099><c> of</c><00:23:35.299><c> those</c><00:23:35.519><c> stories,</c><00:23:36.000><c> but</c>

00:23:36.380 --> 00:23:38.039
you<00:23:36.599><c> know</c><00:23:36.740><c> the</c><00:23:36.880><c> thing</c><00:23:37.019><c> that</c><00:23:37.220><c> makes</c><00:23:37.400><c> them</c><00:23:37.619><c> special</c>

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:42.680

And<00:26:00.460><c> that</c><00:26:00.640><c> makes</c><00:26:00.819><c> us</c><00:26:01.079><c> very</c><00:26:01.440><c> different</c><00:26:02.180><c> than</c><00:26:03.039><c> other</c><00:26:03.400><c> groups,</c>

00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.279
and<00:26:04.940><c> of</c><00:26:05.140><c> course</c><00:26:05.299><c> very</c><00:26:05.559><c> unique</c><00:26:05.880><c> and</c><00:26:06.059><c> very</c><00:26:06.339><c> special.</c>

00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:09.579
That's<00:26:08.400><c> the</c><00:26:08.880><c> first</c><00:26:09.180><c> reason.</c>

00:26:09.779 --> 00:26:12.319
Let<00:26:10.000><c> me</c><00:26:10.119><c> write</c><00:26:10.259><c> that</c><00:26:10.400><c> one</c><00:26:10.519><c> down.</c><00:26:10.700><c> That</c><00:26:10.799><c> is</c><00:26:11.059><c> a</c><00:26:11.160><c> really</c><00:26:11.420><c> good</c><00:26:11.640><c> one.</c>

00:26:12.660 --> 00:26:16.819
We<00:26:13.140><c> call</c><00:26:13.619><c> each</c><00:26:13.859><c> other</c><00:26:14.039><c> brother</c><00:26:14.279><c> and</c><00:26:14.519><c> sister,</c><00:26:15.460><c> and</c><00:26:15.700><c> we</c><00:26:16.119><c> meet,</c><00:26:16.539><c> right?</c>

00:26:16.839 --> 00:26:19.839
We<00:26:17.299><c> don't</c><00:26:17.619><c> have</c><00:26:18.339><c> somebody</c><00:26:18.640><c> as</c><00:26:18.839><c> the</c><00:26:19.000><c> boss.</c>

00:26:20.579 --> 00:26:24.799
And<00:26:21.059><c> the</c><00:26:21.539><c> second</c><00:26:21.859><c> reason</c><00:26:22.319><c> that</c><00:26:22.579><c> I</c><00:26:22.660><c> think</c><00:26:22.859><c> my</c><00:26:23.119><c> family</c><00:26:23.420><c> knows</c><00:26:23.779><c> very</c><00:26:24.180><c> well</c><00:26:24.359><c> about</c><00:26:24.559><c> me</c>

00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:27.400
is<00:26:24.940><c> that</c><00:26:25.079><c> it</c><00:26:25.180><c> gives</c><00:26:25.339><c> me</c><00:26:25.599><c> a</c><00:26:25.700><c> chance</c><00:26:25.900><c> to</c><00:26:26.079><c> sing</c><00:26:26.299><c> in</c><00:26:26.559><c> public.</c>

00:26:35.539 --> 00:26:38.859
We<00:26:36.059><c> actually</c><00:26:36.579><c> were</c><00:26:36.759><c> going</c><00:26:36.880><c> to</c><00:26:36.920><c> put</c><00:26:37.079><c> that</c><00:26:37.259><c> under</c><00:26:37.480><c> the</c><00:26:37.740><c> humor</c><00:26:38.000><c> heading.</c>

00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:41.299
That's<00:26:39.980><c> where</c><00:26:40.099><c> it</c><00:26:40.299><c> belongs.</c>

00:26:44.740 --> 00:26:50.500
No,<00:26:44.940><c> you</c><00:26:45.039><c> know,</c><00:26:46.200><c> really,</c><00:26:47.420><c> our</c><00:26:47.500><c> hymns,</c><00:26:48.319><c> seriously,</c><00:26:49.200><c> it's</c><00:26:50.319><c> a</c>

00:26:50.500 --> 00:26:51.599
joint<00:26:50.759><c> prayer,</c><00:26:51.240><c> isn't</c><00:26:51.480><c> it?</c>

00:26:52.059 --> 00:26:54.140
It's<00:26:52.400><c> like</c><00:26:52.440><c> quite</c><00:26:52.740><c> badly,</c><00:26:53.079><c> I</c><00:26:53.240><c> might</c><00:26:53.400><c> add.</c>

00:26:54.539 --> 00:26:58.059
It's<00:26:55.099><c> a</c><00:26:55.299><c> joint</c><00:26:55.500><c> prayer</c><00:26:55.900><c> when</c><00:26:56.099><c> we</c><00:26:56.299><c> can</c><00:26:56.700><c> really</c><00:26:57.359><c> raise</c><00:26:57.660><c> our</c><00:26:57.900><c> voices.</c>

00:26:58.099 --> 00:27:00.240
In<00:26:58.240><c> fact,</c><00:26:58.400><c> I</c><00:26:58.539><c> was</c><00:26:58.720><c> noticing</c><00:26:59.059><c> this</c><00:26:59.359><c> evening,</c>

00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:05.740
there's<00:27:00.599><c> a</c><00:27:00.740><c> certain</c><00:27:01.519><c> sweetness</c><00:27:02.319><c> of</c><00:27:02.640><c> our</c><00:27:03.700><c> voices</c><00:27:04.240><c> raised</c><00:27:05.480><c> in</c>

00:27:05.740 --> 00:27:07.099
prayer<00:27:05.900><c> together.</c>

00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:15.319
I<00:27:12.440><c> think</c><00:27:12.880><c> one</c><00:27:13.480><c> of</c><00:27:13.619><c> the</c><00:27:13.619><c> things</c><00:27:13.799><c> we</c><00:27:14.000><c> take</c><00:27:14.160><c> for</c><00:27:14.440><c> granted</c><00:27:14.740><c> is</c><00:27:15.039><c> the</c>

00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:16.700
truth<00:27:15.640><c> that</c><00:27:15.900><c> we</c><00:27:16.140><c> have,</c>

00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:20.579
because<00:27:17.539><c> for</c><00:27:18.359><c> many</c><00:27:18.539><c> years</c><00:27:18.839><c> I've</c><00:27:19.059><c> been</c><00:27:19.160><c> going</c><00:27:19.319><c> to</c><00:27:19.559><c> different</c><00:27:19.819><c> churches</c>

00:27:20.579 --> 00:27:26.900
trying<00:27:21.440><c> to</c><00:27:21.640><c> find</c><00:27:21.900><c> out</c><00:27:22.640><c> what's</c><00:27:22.940><c> the</c><00:27:23.079><c> meaning</c><00:27:23.400><c> of</c><00:27:24.700><c> life</c><00:27:25.259><c> and</c><00:27:25.440><c> what</c><00:27:25.619><c> it's</c><00:27:25.799><c> all</c><00:27:26.019><c> about.</c>

00:27:27.500 --> 00:27:29.640
And<00:27:27.920><c> it</c><00:27:27.960><c> wasn't</c><00:27:28.200><c> until</c><00:27:28.400><c> I</c><00:27:28.539><c> got</c><00:27:28.720><c> to</c><00:27:28.859><c> the</c><00:27:28.980><c> Christodephians</c>

00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:33.680
that<00:27:29.859><c> I</c><00:27:30.539><c> saw</c><00:27:30.900><c> how</c><00:27:31.259><c> simple</c><00:27:31.500><c> the</c><00:27:31.680><c> whole</c><00:27:31.880><c> thing</c><00:27:32.059><c> was</c><00:27:32.759><c> about.</c>

00:27:34.019 --> 00:27:37.339
And<00:27:34.180><c> that</c><00:27:34.339><c> all</c><00:27:34.500><c> the</c><00:27:34.759><c> complications</c><00:27:35.380><c> that</c><00:27:36.440><c> was</c><00:27:36.839><c> involved</c>

00:27:37.339 --> 00:27:40.059
and<00:27:37.539><c> the</c><00:27:37.700><c> rituals</c><00:27:38.079><c> that</c><00:27:38.299><c> the</c><00:27:38.460><c> other</c><00:27:38.640><c> churches</c><00:27:38.980><c> had,</c>

00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:42.940
it<00:27:40.599><c> just</c><00:27:40.859><c> boiled</c><00:27:41.119><c> down</c><00:27:41.299><c> to</c><00:27:41.440><c> one</c><00:27:41.680><c> simple</c><00:27:42.000><c> thing,</c>

00:27:43.759 --> 00:27:46.500
the<00:27:43.960><c> return</c><00:27:44.240><c> of</c><00:27:44.440><c> Christ</c><00:27:44.859><c> from</c><00:27:45.299><c> the</c><00:27:45.539><c> beginning</c><00:27:45.740><c> to</c><00:27:45.920><c> the</c><00:27:46.119><c> end.</c>

00:27:46.980 --> 00:27:49.200
And<00:27:47.279><c> it</c><00:27:47.400><c> was</c><00:27:47.539><c> put</c><00:27:47.819><c> forward</c><00:27:47.940><c> in</c><00:27:48.140><c> such</c><00:27:48.299><c> a</c><00:27:48.480><c> simple</c><00:27:48.720><c> way</c>

00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:51.579
that<00:27:49.680><c> I</c><00:27:49.819><c> knew</c><00:27:49.980><c> that</c><00:27:50.160><c> I</c><00:27:50.240><c> had</c><00:27:50.400><c> found</c><00:27:50.579><c> the</c><00:27:50.779><c> truth.</c>

00:27:52.299 --> 00:27:56.359
And<00:27:52.680><c> as</c><00:27:53.000><c> much</c><00:27:53.180><c> as</c><00:27:53.339><c> I</c><00:27:53.480><c> can,</c><00:27:53.779><c> I</c><00:27:53.819><c> try</c><00:27:53.980><c> to</c><00:27:54.200><c> encourage</c><00:27:54.680><c> others</c><00:27:55.140><c> to</c><00:27:56.200><c> do</c>

00:27:56.359 --> 00:27:57.000
the<00:27:56.640><c> same</c>

00:27:57.000 --> 00:27:59.200
and<00:27:57.539><c> to</c><00:27:57.680><c> look</c><00:27:57.920><c> forward</c><00:27:58.099><c> to</c><00:27:58.259><c> that</c><00:27:58.420><c> hope.</c>

00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:02.119
So<00:27:59.640><c> I</c><00:27:59.759><c> think</c><00:27:59.900><c> this</c><00:28:00.079><c> is</c><00:28:00.279><c> something</c><00:28:00.519><c> that</c><00:28:00.720><c> we</c><00:28:00.819><c> should</c><00:28:00.960><c> never</c><00:28:01.180><c> take</c><00:28:01.420><c> for</c><00:28:01.680><c> granted.</c>

00:28:02.539 --> 00:28:04.240
And<00:28:02.940><c> we</c><00:28:03.039><c> should</c><00:28:03.160><c> try</c><00:28:03.359><c> to</c><00:28:03.559><c> preserve</c><00:28:03.900><c> it.</c>

00:28:04.660 --> 00:28:07.059
And<00:28:04.740><c> that's</c><00:28:05.140><c> really,</c><00:28:05.579><c> thank</c><00:28:05.859><c> you.</c>

00:28:09.920 --> 00:28:14.039
Yeah,<00:28:10.140><c> the</c><00:28:10.460><c> specialness</c><00:28:10.920><c> of,</c><00:28:12.660><c> you</c><00:28:13.099><c> know,</c><00:28:13.220><c> you</c><00:28:13.500><c> see</c><00:28:13.680><c> that</c><00:28:13.900><c> when</c>

00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:15.779
you're<00:28:14.680><c> talking</c><00:28:15.059><c> to</c>

00:28:15.880 --> 00:28:19.119
interested<00:28:16.420><c> friends</c><00:28:16.920><c> or</c><00:28:17.359><c> folks</c><00:28:17.660><c> who</c><00:28:18.180><c> have</c><00:28:18.420><c> some</c><00:28:18.680><c> belief</c>

00:28:19.119 --> 00:28:22.440
but<00:28:20.180><c> who</c><00:28:20.339><c> haven't</c><00:28:20.539><c> been</c><00:28:20.799><c> brought</c><00:28:21.019><c> up</c><00:28:21.299><c> or</c><00:28:21.579><c> who</c><00:28:21.740><c> haven't</c><00:28:21.819><c> been</c><00:28:22.059><c> encouraged</c>

00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:24.000
to<00:28:22.680><c> read</c><00:28:22.839><c> the</c><00:28:23.000><c> Bible</c><00:28:23.220><c> for</c><00:28:23.440><c> themselves,</c>

00:28:24.339 --> 00:28:26.980
and<00:28:24.500><c> you</c><00:28:24.559><c> think</c><00:28:24.740><c> it's</c><00:28:24.920><c> so</c><00:28:25.380><c> clear</c><00:28:25.720><c> and</c><00:28:25.859><c> it</c><00:28:26.059><c> makes</c><00:28:26.279><c> sense,</c>

00:28:27.200 --> 00:28:29.420
you<00:28:27.460><c> know,</c><00:28:27.460><c> why</c><00:28:27.599><c> can't</c><00:28:27.900><c> others</c><00:28:28.119><c> see</c><00:28:28.420><c> this?</c>

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:31.460
We<00:28:29.799><c> really</c><00:28:30.299><c> must</c><00:28:30.779><c> cherish</c><00:28:31.200><c> this.</c>

00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:35.380
And<00:28:32.140><c> studying</c><00:28:32.380><c> God's</c><00:28:32.799><c> Word</c><00:28:32.960><c> is</c><00:28:33.440><c> a</c><00:28:33.660><c> treat,</c><00:28:34.000><c> it's</c><00:28:34.299><c> a</c><00:28:34.460><c> privilege.</c>

00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:41.460
What<00:28:37.299><c> I</c><00:28:37.599><c> like</c><00:28:37.819><c> about</c><00:28:38.220><c> being</c><00:28:38.799><c> a</c><00:28:38.960><c> Christodephian</c><00:28:39.579><c> is</c><00:28:39.940><c> that</c><00:28:40.799><c> often,</c>

00:31:37.059 --> 00:31:39.200
And<00:31:37.180><c> that's</c><00:31:38.380><c> special.</c>

00:31:39.460 --> 00:31:43.279

00:33:04.819 --> 00:33:06.740
This<00:33:05.339><c> may</c><00:33:05.539><c> not</c><00:33:05.680><c> be</c><00:33:05.779><c> the</c><00:33:05.940><c> most</c><00:33:06.180><c> important</c><00:33:06.539><c> thing,</c>

As<00:33:09.519><c> Christophians,</c><00:33:10.119><c> we</c><00:33:10.259><c> have</c><00:33:11.119><c> a</c><00:33:12.180><c> certain</c><00:33:12.380><c> structure</c>

Every<00:33:21.339><c> day</c><00:33:21.599><c> we</c><00:33:21.819><c> are,</c><00:33:22.140><c> as</c><00:33:22.339><c> a</c><00:33:22.480><c> community,</c>

00:33:47.400 --> 00:33:48.420
Right?

00:33:49.059 --> 00:33:52.339
That's<00:33:49.579><c> a</c><00:33:49.759><c> real</c><00:33:50.019><c> special</c><00:33:50.420><c> thing,</c><00:33:50.819><c> that</c><00:33:51.240><c> we</c><00:33:51.519><c> all</c><00:33:51.839><c> sing</c><00:33:52.059><c> the</c>

00:33:52.339 --> 00:33:54.019
same<00:33:52.579><c> hymns.</c>

00:33:54.079 --> 00:33:56.779
And<00:33:54.319><c> I</c><00:33:55.619><c> guess</c><00:33:55.759><c> that's</c><00:33:55.940><c> not</c><00:33:56.160><c> entirely</c><00:33:56.519><c> true</c>

00:33:56.779 --> 00:34:00.299
when<00:33:56.960><c> you</c><00:33:57.039><c> go</c><00:33:57.279><c> to</c><00:33:58.160><c> countries</c><00:33:58.480><c> where</c><00:33:58.660><c> people</c><00:33:58.960><c> speak</c><00:33:59.619><c> different</c><00:33:59.940><c> languages,</c>

00:34:00.339 --> 00:34:01.640
but<00:34:00.500><c> when</c><00:34:00.640><c> I</c><00:34:00.720><c> was</c><00:34:00.859><c> in</c><00:34:01.059><c> Central</c><00:34:01.220><c> America,</c>

00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:05.059
there<00:34:01.859><c> were</c><00:34:02.019><c> some</c><00:34:02.539><c> real</c><00:34:02.839><c> familiar</c><00:34:03.359><c> hymns</c><00:34:03.779><c> just</c><00:34:04.059><c> to</c><00:34:04.160><c> the</c><00:34:04.319><c> different</c><00:34:04.579><c> words</c>

00:34:05.059 --> 00:34:07.140
and<00:34:05.619><c> familiar</c><00:34:06.000><c> words.</c>

00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:12.239
Can't<00:34:11.519><c> do</c><00:34:11.679><c> that,</c><00:34:11.940><c> can</c><00:34:12.000><c> I,</c><00:34:12.119><c> dad?</c>

00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:13.659
I<00:34:12.300><c> can't</c><00:34:12.539><c> throw</c><00:34:12.659><c> the</c><00:34:12.800><c> microphone.</c>

00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:20.739
One<00:34:17.239><c> thing</c><00:34:17.460><c> that</c><00:34:17.559><c> I</c><00:34:17.699><c> think</c><00:34:17.900><c> is</c><00:34:18.260><c> important</c><00:34:18.780><c> is</c><00:34:19.639><c> the</c><00:34:20.179><c> age</c><00:34:20.480><c> gap</c>

00:34:20.739 --> 00:34:22.579
for<00:34:21.000><c> a</c><00:34:21.099><c> lot</c><00:34:21.199><c> of</c><00:34:21.340><c> people</c><00:34:21.519><c> seems</c><00:34:21.780><c> to</c><00:34:21.960><c> be</c><00:34:22.139><c> lessened.</c>

00:34:22.739 --> 00:34:23.599
That's<00:34:23.219><c> wonderful.</c>

00:34:23.940 --> 00:34:24.199
Yeah.

00:34:24.420 --> 00:34:27.559
Like,<00:34:24.840><c> at</c><00:34:26.159><c> Niagara</c><00:34:26.480><c> Bible</c><00:34:26.800><c> School</c><00:34:26.980><c> last</c><00:34:27.260><c> year,</c>

00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:29.800
there<00:34:28.000><c> was</c><00:34:28.179><c> a</c><00:34:28.219><c> lot</c><00:34:28.380><c> of,</c><00:34:28.780><c> not</c><00:34:29.019><c> too</c><00:34:29.300><c> many</c><00:34:29.440><c> young</c><00:34:29.579><c> kids,</c>

00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:33.179
but<00:34:30.420><c> a</c><00:34:30.679><c> good</c><00:34:30.800><c> number</c><00:34:31.000><c> of</c><00:34:31.159><c> teenagers</c><00:34:31.519><c> with</c><00:34:31.880><c> a</c><00:34:32.039><c> lot</c><00:34:32.179><c> of,</c>

00:34:33.179 --> 00:34:36.739
I<00:34:33.920><c> hope</c><00:34:34.059><c> I</c><00:34:34.159><c> don't</c><00:34:34.300><c> offend</c><00:34:34.460><c> anyone,</c><00:34:34.860><c> middle</c><00:34:35.039><c>-aged,</c><00:34:35.780><c> handed</c><00:34:35.840><c> over.</c>

00:34:37.420 --> 00:34:39.659
Still<00:34:37.900><c> young,</c><00:34:38.340><c> but</c><00:34:38.480><c> that's</c><00:34:38.800><c> all</c><00:34:38.900><c> right.</c>

00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:42.780
What<00:34:40.400><c> he</c><00:34:40.539><c> means</c><00:34:40.739><c> to</c><00:34:41.000><c> say,</c><00:34:41.179><c> everybody,</c><00:34:41.719><c> is,</c><00:34:42.280><c> oh!</c>

00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:44.360
Like<00:34:43.920><c> his</c><00:34:44.199><c> dad.</c>

00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:46.460
It's<00:34:45.019><c> all</c><00:34:45.059><c> good,</c><00:34:45.519><c> don't</c><00:34:45.519><c> kill</c><00:34:45.699><c> me.</c>

00:34:49.820 --> 00:34:52.260
But<00:34:50.219><c> you</c><00:34:50.619><c> could</c><00:34:50.800><c> go</c><00:34:51.400><c> up</c><00:34:51.579><c> and</c><00:34:51.639><c> talk</c><00:34:51.820><c> to</c><00:34:52.000><c> anyone</c>

00:34:52.260 --> 00:34:54.079
knowing<00:34:52.519><c> that</c><00:34:52.719><c> you</c><00:34:52.820><c> had</c><00:34:53.139><c> the</c><00:34:53.380><c> truth</c><00:34:53.519><c> in</c><00:34:53.760><c> common</c>

00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:56.219
and<00:34:54.340><c> knowing</c><00:34:54.460><c> that</c><00:34:54.599><c> you</c><00:34:54.679><c> had</c><00:34:54.960><c> that</c><00:34:55.960><c> thing</c>

00:34:56.219 --> 00:34:57.320
that<00:34:56.420><c> kind</c><00:34:56.500><c> of</c><00:34:56.639><c> bonded</c><00:34:56.780><c> you</c><00:34:56.980><c> together,</c>

00:34:57.420 --> 00:34:59.619
and<00:34:57.579><c> there</c><00:34:57.659><c> wasn't</c><00:34:57.860><c> any</c><00:34:58.079><c> kind</c><00:34:58.280><c> of</c><00:34:58.380><c> awkwardness</c><00:34:58.719><c> there.</c>

00:35:00.440 --> 00:35:05.159
Yeah,<00:35:00.559><c> you</c><00:35:00.840><c> know,</c><00:35:01.500><c> when</c><00:35:01.679><c> I</c><00:35:02.340><c> was</c><00:35:04.420><c> going</c><00:35:04.599><c> to</c><00:35:04.699><c> get</c><00:35:04.840><c> married,</c>

00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:07.760
when<00:35:05.460><c> I</c><00:35:05.639><c> did</c><00:35:05.719><c> get</c><00:35:05.920><c> married,</c><00:35:06.139><c> I</c><00:35:06.260><c> actually</c><00:35:06.480><c> did</c><00:35:06.639><c> get</c><00:35:06.840><c> married,</c>

00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:13.260

00:35:13.260 --> 00:35:19.519
And<00:35:13.940><c> he</c><00:35:15.500><c> was</c><00:35:15.719><c> still</c><00:35:15.980><c> recovering</c><00:35:16.659><c> from</c><00:35:18.559><c> his</c><00:35:19.039><c> illness,</c>

00:35:19.559 --> 00:35:22.199
and<00:35:19.900><c> we</c><00:35:20.019><c> weren't</c><00:35:20.179><c> sure</c><00:35:20.380><c> he</c><00:35:20.500><c> was</c><00:35:20.579><c> going</c><00:35:20.639><c> to</c><00:35:20.679><c> be</c><00:35:20.780><c> able</c><00:35:20.920><c> to</c><00:35:21.079><c> make</c><00:35:21.260><c> it.</c>

And<00:35:23.599><c> if</c><00:35:24.079><c> he</c><00:35:24.300><c> couldn't</c><00:35:24.519><c> make</c><00:35:24.800><c> it,</c>

00:35:25.980 --> 00:35:28.360

00:35:36.539 --> 00:35:39.820
And,<00:35:36.880><c> you</c><00:35:37.420><c> know,</c><00:35:37.860><c> but</c><00:35:38.019><c> he</c><00:35:38.059><c> was</c><00:35:38.239><c> my</c><00:35:38.880><c> friend.</c>

00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:44.840
That's<00:35:42.280><c> a</c><00:35:42.400><c> very</c><00:35:42.599><c> special</c><00:35:42.940><c> thing</c><00:35:43.239><c> you've</c><00:35:43.820><c> pointed</c><00:35:44.139><c> out.</c>

00:35:57.260 --> 00:35:58.800

00:35:59.300 --> 00:36:01.880
My<00:35:59.519><c> father</c><00:35:59.780><c> was</c><00:36:00.079><c> a</c><00:36:00.280><c> Seventh</c><00:36:00.559><c>-day</c><00:36:01.019><c> Adventist</c><00:36:01.579><c> preacher,</c>

But<00:36:12.739><c> when</c><00:36:12.840><c> I</c><00:36:12.940><c> became</c><00:36:13.159><c> a</c><00:36:13.300><c> Christ</c><00:36:13.420><c> of</c><00:36:13.519><c> Daphne,</c>

00:36:16.659 --> 00:36:19.159
That's<00:36:17.179><c> good,</c><00:36:17.380><c> so</c><00:36:17.639><c> you</c><00:36:18.000><c> weren't</c><00:36:18.199><c> pressured</c><00:36:18.639><c> into</c><00:36:18.980><c> it.</c>

00:36:19.159 --> 00:36:21.199
It<00:36:19.260><c> was</c><00:36:20.280><c> commitment.</c>

00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:23.500
Yeah,<00:36:21.920><c> that's</c><00:36:22.059><c> baptism.</c>

00:36:24.559 --> 00:36:26.500
We<00:36:25.019><c> don't</c><00:36:25.300><c> become</c><00:36:25.699><c> Christadelphians,</c>

00:36:26.579 --> 00:36:29.500
and<00:36:26.739><c> you</c><00:36:26.840><c> don't</c><00:36:27.099><c> say</c><00:36:27.400><c> a</c><00:36:27.619><c> Christadelphian</c><00:36:28.940><c> just,</c>

00:36:29.500 --> 00:36:31.639
you<00:36:29.719><c> know,</c><00:36:30.000><c> like</c><00:36:30.260><c> falling</c><00:36:30.400><c> off</c><00:36:30.659><c> a</c><00:36:30.840><c> log.</c>

00:36:31.659 --> 00:36:36.260
We<00:36:31.800><c> do</c><00:36:32.000><c> it</c><00:36:32.440><c> because</c><00:36:32.960><c> of,</c><00:36:34.340><c> let's</c><00:36:35.460><c> see,</c><00:36:35.559><c> how</c><00:36:35.679><c> do</c><00:36:35.800><c> we</c><00:36:35.920><c> say</c><00:36:36.039><c> it?</c>

00:36:36.260 --> 00:36:38.960
Because<00:36:36.500><c> we</c><00:36:36.639><c> are</c><00:36:36.920><c> really</c><00:36:37.239><c> convinced,</c><00:36:38.480><c> personally,</c>

00:36:39.179 --> 00:36:41.880
rather<00:36:39.500><c> than</c><00:36:39.739><c> by</c><00:36:40.260><c> being</c><00:36:40.500><c> put</c><00:36:40.659><c> under</c><00:36:40.960><c> pressure.</c>

00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:44.780
We,<00:36:42.619><c> so</c><00:36:42.860><c> how</c><00:36:43.099><c> do</c><00:36:43.219><c> I</c><00:36:43.300><c> say</c><00:36:43.420><c> that</c><00:36:43.579><c> in</c><00:36:43.699><c> a</c><00:36:43.840><c> few</c><00:36:43.880><c> words?</c>

00:36:48.739 --> 00:36:50.079
We<00:36:49.159><c> become...</c>

00:36:50.880 --> 00:36:52.179
Why<00:36:51.300><c> say</c><00:36:51.719><c> it</c><00:36:51.840><c> in</c><00:36:51.860><c> one</c><00:36:52.059><c> word</c>

00:36:52.179 --> 00:36:53.940
when<00:36:52.300><c> you</c><00:36:52.420><c> can</c><00:36:52.519><c> say</c><00:36:52.559><c> it</c><00:36:52.659><c> in</c><00:36:52.679><c> a</c><00:36:52.719><c> whole</c><00:36:52.840><c> bunch</c><00:36:52.980><c> of</c><00:36:53.119><c> words?</c>

00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:55.400
Baptists.

00:36:55.860 --> 00:36:57.679
No,<00:36:56.000><c> we</c><00:36:56.099><c> don't.</c>

00:36:58.659 --> 00:37:02.719
We<00:36:58.840><c> become...</c>

00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:15.679
We<00:37:10.239><c> become</c><00:37:10.719><c> baptized</c><00:37:11.320><c> out</c><00:37:12.199><c> of</c><00:37:12.619><c> personal</c><00:37:13.159><c> conviction,</c><00:37:15.340><c> right?</c>

00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:17.380
Everybody<00:37:16.360><c> can</c><00:37:16.559><c> read</c><00:37:16.639><c> my</c><00:37:16.860><c> handwriting.</c>

00:37:17.380 --> 00:37:23.300
Personal<00:37:18.519><c> conviction</c><00:37:19.559><c> rather</c><00:37:21.659><c> than</c><00:37:22.019><c> pressure.</c>

00:37:26.519 --> 00:37:28.980
That's<00:37:27.219><c> really</c><00:37:27.500><c> good.</c>

00:37:36.139 --> 00:37:38.920
I<00:37:36.139><c> think</c><00:37:36.760><c> it's</c><00:37:37.139><c> wonderful</c><00:37:37.579><c> that</c><00:37:38.159><c> we</c><00:37:38.440><c> have</c><00:37:38.639><c> the</c><00:37:38.780><c> hope</c>

00:37:38.920 --> 00:37:41.179
of<00:37:39.079><c> the</c><00:37:39.199><c> resurrection,</c><00:37:40.039><c> that</c><00:37:40.119><c> we</c><00:37:40.340><c> can,</c>

00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:44.559
we're<00:37:42.300><c> not</c><00:37:42.480><c> afraid</c><00:37:43.019><c> to</c><00:37:43.340><c> lose</c><00:37:43.579><c> the</c><00:37:43.760><c> ones</c><00:37:43.880><c> that</c><00:37:44.019><c> we</c><00:37:44.219><c> love.</c>

00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:45.840
That's<00:37:45.340><c> great.</c>

00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:47.820
Because<00:37:46.920><c> we'll</c><00:37:47.139><c> see</c><00:37:47.300><c> them</c><00:37:47.440><c> again.</c>

00:37:48.059 --> 00:37:49.260
That's<00:37:48.460><c> great.</c>

00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:53.699
You<00:37:50.179><c> know,</c><00:37:51.400><c> there's</c><00:37:52.500><c> a</c><00:37:52.619><c> fellow</c><00:37:52.780><c> I</c><00:37:53.019><c> work</c><00:37:53.239><c> with</c>

00:37:53.699 --> 00:37:58.460
who<00:37:54.940><c> lost</c><00:37:55.420><c> a</c><00:37:56.800><c> seven</c><00:37:57.019><c>-month</c><00:37:57.360><c>-old</c><00:37:57.559><c> baby.</c>

00:37:58.840 --> 00:38:02.480
It<00:37:58.980><c> was</c><00:37:59.219><c> a</c><00:37:59.539><c> terrible</c><00:37:59.860><c> tragedy,</c><00:38:00.500><c> and</c><00:38:01.159><c> I</c><00:38:01.599><c> went</c><00:38:01.780><c> to</c><00:38:01.960><c> the</c><00:38:02.159><c> funeral,</c>

00:38:02.619 --> 00:38:08.199
and<00:38:02.800><c> the</c><00:38:03.079><c> funeral,</c><00:38:05.119><c> it</c><00:38:06.679><c> was</c><00:38:07.480><c> just</c><00:38:07.679><c> horrifying.</c>

00:38:08.380 --> 00:38:12.639
It<00:38:08.480><c> was</c><00:38:08.719><c> just</c><00:38:09.059><c> horrifying,</c><00:38:10.239><c> the</c><00:38:11.000><c> gross</c><00:38:11.500><c> darkness.</c>

00:38:14.019 --> 00:38:18.699
And<00:38:14.579><c> when</c><00:38:15.139><c> you</c><00:38:15.320><c> go,</c><00:38:15.880><c> when</c><00:38:16.079><c> you</c><00:38:16.320><c> see</c><00:38:16.519><c> folks</c><00:38:16.820><c> die</c><00:38:17.199><c> without</c><00:38:17.719><c> hope,</c>

00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:23.820
and<00:38:19.000><c> when</c><00:38:19.159><c> you</c><00:38:19.440><c> see</c><00:38:19.920><c> false</c><00:38:20.519><c> hope,</c><00:38:22.880><c> boy,</c><00:38:23.099><c> it's</c><00:38:23.380><c> tragic.</c>

00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:28.219
And<00:38:24.260><c> yet</c><00:38:24.420><c> we,</c><00:38:24.739><c> like</c><00:38:25.000><c> my</c><00:38:25.260><c> friend,</c><00:38:25.860><c> my</c><00:38:26.239><c> would</c><00:38:26.539><c>-have</c><00:38:26.719><c>-been</c><00:38:27.440><c> best</c><00:38:27.699><c> man</c>

who's<00:38:28.800><c> asleep</c><00:38:29.139><c> in</c><00:38:29.400><c> Christ,</c><00:38:30.300><c> you</c><00:38:30.380><c> know,</c><00:38:30.500><c> there's</c><00:38:30.820><c> the</c><00:38:31.039><c> certainty.</c>

00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:36.760
That<00:38:33.199><c> is,</c><00:38:33.619><c> I'm</c><00:38:34.000><c> very</c><00:38:34.280><c> glad</c><00:38:34.460><c> you've</c><00:38:34.980><c> added</c><00:38:35.079><c> that</c><00:38:35.340><c> one</c><00:38:35.519><c> to</c><00:38:35.699><c> our</c><00:38:35.900><c> list.</c>

00:38:37.739 --> 00:38:39.559
Hope<00:38:38.039><c> of</c><00:38:38.260><c> the</c><00:38:38.480><c> resurrection.</c>

00:38:40.780 --> 00:38:46.480
And<00:38:41.340><c> I</c><00:38:41.460><c> remember</c><00:38:41.679><c> a</c><00:38:41.860><c> brother</c><00:38:42.320><c> in</c><00:38:43.860><c> New</c><00:38:44.099><c> England</c><00:38:44.320><c> who</c><00:38:45.519><c> said,</c>

00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:48.920
for<00:38:46.780><c> us,</c><00:38:47.360><c> hope</c><00:38:47.639><c> doesn't</c><00:38:48.059><c> mean</c><00:38:48.360><c> uncertainty.</c>

00:38:49.119 --> 00:38:51.000
It's<00:38:49.400><c> just</c><00:38:49.699><c> deferred</c><00:38:50.519><c> certainty.</c>

00:38:51.420 --> 00:38:53.980
There's<00:38:51.780><c> the</c><00:38:52.179><c> certainty</c><00:38:52.539><c> of</c><00:38:52.719><c> the</c><00:38:52.860><c> resurrection.</c>

00:38:54.619 --> 00:38:57.559
We're<00:38:55.059><c> looking</c><00:38:55.260><c> forward</c><00:38:55.639><c> to</c><00:38:55.800><c> it,</c><00:38:55.920><c> and</c><00:38:56.059><c> we're</c><00:38:56.179><c> hoping</c><00:38:56.340><c> for</c><00:38:56.579><c> the</c><00:38:56.719><c> day.</c>

00:38:59.039 --> 00:39:00.340
Who's<00:38:59.460><c> next?</c>

00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:04.179
Oh,<00:39:02.340><c> boy,</c><00:39:02.800><c> you</c><00:39:02.940><c> know,</c><00:39:03.159><c> we're</c><00:39:03.320><c> liable</c><00:39:03.460><c> not</c><00:39:03.639><c> to</c><00:39:03.760><c> be</c><00:39:03.860><c> able</c><00:39:04.059><c> to</c>

00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:06.500
But<00:39:05.619><c> this</c><00:39:05.860><c> is</c><00:39:06.500><c> good.</c>

00:39:06.980 --> 00:39:08.500
I'll<00:39:07.239><c> be</c><00:39:07.239><c> right</c><00:39:07.480><c> back.</c>

00:39:09.820 --> 00:39:13.480
Well,<00:39:11.119><c> the</c><00:39:11.280><c> truth</c><00:39:11.360><c> gives</c><00:39:11.619><c> us</c><00:39:12.519><c> strength,</c><00:39:12.860><c> especially</c><00:39:13.099><c> to</c><00:39:13.360><c> the</c>

00:39:34.400 --> 00:39:41.860
That's,<00:39:35.139><c> yeah,</c><00:39:35.699><c> and</c><00:39:37.420><c> New</c><00:39:38.360><c> York,</c><00:39:38.800><c> I</c><00:39:38.800><c> guess,</c><00:39:39.800><c> in</c><00:39:40.719><c> particular.</c>

Hey,<00:39:44.420><c> what</c><00:39:44.579><c> is</c><00:39:44.780><c> it?</c>

00:39:46.219 --> 00:39:50.760
I<00:39:46.780><c> think</c><00:39:47.119><c> that</c><00:39:47.900><c> a</c><00:39:48.920><c> lot</c><00:39:49.079><c> of</c><00:39:49.219><c> my</c><00:39:49.440><c> friends</c><00:39:49.880><c> and</c><00:39:50.219><c> people</c><00:39:50.460><c> that</c><00:39:50.599><c> I've</c>
