He's<00:17:39.480><c> the</c><00:17:39.599><c> one</c><00:17:39.700><c> that</c><00:17:39.900><c> did</c><00:17:40.039><c> it.</c>

00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:44.400
Because<00:17:41.359><c> God</c><00:17:41.660><c> knew</c><00:17:41.880><c> you</c><00:17:42.119><c> had</c><00:17:42.279><c> it,</c><00:17:42.980><c> the</c><00:17:43.259><c> ability</c><00:17:43.680><c> that</c><00:17:43.900><c> is</c><00:17:44.160><c> not</c>

00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:48.500
He<00:17:46.000><c> wouldn't</c><00:17:46.220><c> allow</c><00:17:46.519><c> you</c><00:17:46.700><c> to</c><00:17:46.819><c> be</c><00:17:46.960><c> in</c><00:17:47.019><c> that</c><00:17:47.180><c> position</c><00:17:47.500><c> to</c><00:17:47.740><c> jeopardize</c><00:17:48.259><c> your</c>

00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:57.000
So<00:17:52.079><c> then</c><00:17:52.359><c> when</c><00:17:52.539><c> you</c><00:17:52.779><c> commit</c><00:17:53.019><c> a</c><00:17:53.240><c> sin,</c><00:17:55.140><c> whose</c><00:17:55.420><c> fault</c><00:17:55.839><c> is</c><00:17:56.099><c> it?</c>

00:17:59.640 --> 00:18:01.259
It's<00:18:00.200><c> yours.</c>

00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:04.059
God's<00:18:03.039><c> faithful.</c>

00:18:05.299 --> 00:18:09.359

00:18:22.740 --> 00:18:25.839
Total<00:18:23.019><c> assurance</c><00:18:23.859><c> from</c><00:18:24.619><c> our</c><00:18:24.900><c> God.</c>

00:18:35.299 --> 00:18:38.240
Now<00:18:35.980><c> you</c><00:18:36.240><c> can</c><00:18:36.460><c> go</c><00:18:36.660><c> to</c><00:18:36.920><c> jail.</c>

00:18:39.380 --> 00:18:42.599
Now<00:18:39.579><c> you</c><00:18:39.720><c> can</c><00:18:40.099><c> sing</c><00:18:41.059><c> hymns</c><00:18:42.059><c> of</c><00:18:42.299><c> praise.</c>

00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:47.079

after<00:18:47.539><c> day.</c>

00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:53.180

00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:59.400

00:18:59.799 --> 00:19:00.980
Who?

00:19:02.259 --> 00:19:05.599
The<00:19:02.819><c> angel</c><00:19:03.220><c> of</c><00:19:03.420><c> the</c><00:19:03.599><c> Lord</c><00:19:03.880><c> encampeth</c><00:19:04.480><c> around</c><00:19:04.819><c> those</c><00:19:05.160><c> that</c>

00:19:21.059 --> 00:19:22.579
He's<00:19:21.519><c> trying.</c>

00:19:22.700 --> 00:19:25.700
He's<00:19:22.980><c> given</c><00:19:23.119><c> us</c><00:19:23.339><c> a</c><00:19:23.539><c> book</c><00:19:23.680><c> that's</c><00:19:24.220><c> full</c><00:19:24.480><c> of</c><00:19:24.799><c> lessons</c><00:19:25.140><c> that</c><00:19:25.339><c> have</c>

00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:31.500
We've<00:20:26.079><c> rejected</c><00:20:26.720><c> the</c><00:20:27.880><c> seat</c><00:20:28.019><c> of</c><00:20:28.200><c> the</c><00:20:28.400><c> serpent</c><00:20:28.880><c> and</c><00:20:29.200><c> we've</c><00:20:29.579><c> ceased</c><00:20:29.819><c> to</c><00:20:30.059><c> be</c><00:20:30.259><c> a</c><00:20:30.619><c> sinner.</c>

00:22:55.859 --> 00:22:57.720
Can<00:22:56.579><c> we</c><00:22:56.799><c> be</c><00:22:57.019><c> righteous?</c>

00:23:18.099 --> 00:23:19.180
Well,<00:23:18.180><c> let's</c><00:23:18.380><c> read</c><00:23:18.539><c> the</c><00:23:18.700><c> first</c><00:23:18.900><c> verse.</c>

00:23:19.259 --> 00:23:20.420
This<00:23:19.420><c> is</c><00:23:19.640><c> a</c><00:23:19.819><c> true</c><00:23:19.980><c> saying.</c>

00:23:20.619 --> 00:23:23.339
If<00:23:20.759><c> a</c><00:23:20.920><c> man</c><00:23:21.079><c> desires</c><00:23:21.460><c> the</c><00:23:21.740><c> office</c><00:23:22.000><c> of</c><00:23:22.200><c> a</c><00:23:22.380><c> bishop,</c><00:23:22.720><c> he</c><00:23:22.980><c> desires</c>

A<00:23:26.039><c> bishop</c><00:23:26.339><c> then</c><00:23:27.500><c> must</c><00:23:28.559><c> be</c><00:23:30.019><c> blameless.</c>

00:23:31.779 --> 00:23:34.000
You<00:23:31.980><c> know,</c><00:23:32.059><c> we</c><00:23:32.160><c> can</c><00:23:32.359><c> just</c><00:23:32.519><c> say,</c><00:23:32.720><c> well,</c><00:23:32.859><c> we</c><00:23:33.000><c> don't</c><00:23:33.200><c> have</c><00:23:33.400><c> bishops</c><00:23:33.680><c> today.</c>

00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:35.519
We<00:23:34.240><c> can</c><00:23:34.339><c> just</c><00:23:34.539><c> write</c><00:23:34.759><c> that</c><00:23:35.000><c> off.</c>

00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:39.220
We<00:23:35.819><c> don't</c><00:23:36.059><c> have</c><00:23:36.279><c> overseers?</c>

00:23:41.019 --> 00:23:44.180
We<00:23:41.539><c> don't</c><00:23:41.779><c> have</c><00:23:42.099><c> bishops</c><00:23:42.480><c> who</c><00:23:42.680><c> have</c><00:23:42.859><c> been</c><00:23:43.019><c> given</c><00:23:43.140><c> the</c><00:23:43.359><c> Holy</c><00:23:43.660><c> Spirit</c><00:23:43.940><c> so</c>

00:23:50.539 --> 00:23:55.059
Well,<00:23:50.980><c> we</c><00:23:51.160><c> haven't</c><00:23:51.619><c> got</c><00:23:52.160><c> the</c><00:23:52.420><c> miraculous</c><00:23:53.460><c> gift</c><00:23:54.299><c> of</c><00:23:54.559><c> the</c><00:23:54.740><c> Holy</c>

But<00:23:57.819><c> have</c><00:23:58.180><c> we</c><00:23:58.539><c> not</c><00:23:58.839><c> been</c><00:23:59.200><c> given</c><00:23:59.779><c> the</c><00:24:01.140><c> Holy</c><00:24:01.619><c> Spirit</c><00:24:02.599><c> message?</c>

Without<00:24:07.339><c> it,</c><00:24:07.579><c> you</c><00:24:07.740><c> couldn't</c><00:24:07.980><c> have</c><00:24:08.200><c> been</c><00:24:08.460><c> baptized.</c>

00:24:10.839 --> 00:24:13.420
There's<00:24:11.140><c> no</c><00:24:11.400><c> way</c><00:24:11.880><c> that</c><00:24:12.240><c> water</c><00:24:12.480><c> would</c><00:24:12.660><c> have</c><00:24:12.799><c> done</c><00:24:13.000><c> anything</c>

Are<00:24:23.180><c> you</c><00:24:24.019><c> blameless?</c>

00:24:25.339 --> 00:24:27.420
You<00:24:25.819><c> know</c><00:24:25.900><c> what</c><00:24:25.980><c> that</c><00:24:26.220><c> means?</c>

00:24:27.980 --> 00:24:32.460
That<00:24:28.119><c> word</c><00:24:28.319><c> blameless</c><00:24:28.819><c> means</c><00:24:29.259><c> above</c><00:24:29.779><c> reproach.</c>

00:24:32.880 --> 00:24:36.460

00:24:38.180 --> 00:24:41.740
A<00:24:38.460><c> bishop</c><00:24:38.839><c> must</c><00:24:39.599><c> be</c><00:24:40.420><c> blameless.</c>

00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:34.720
Arranging<00:25:28.859><c> brethren,</c><00:25:32.640><c> we've</c><00:25:33.200><c> got</c><00:25:33.339><c> a</c><00:25:33.559><c> problem.</c>

00:26:14.380 --> 00:26:17.660
Don't<00:26:14.559><c> just</c><00:26:14.940><c> look</c><00:26:15.180><c> at</c><00:26:15.640><c> overseers</c><00:26:16.299><c> or</c><00:26:16.579><c> bishops.</c>

00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:33.880
He<00:26:31.859><c> was</c><00:26:32.099><c> alongside</c><00:26:32.539><c> of</c><00:26:32.720><c> the</c><00:26:32.859><c> deacon</c><00:26:33.099><c> doing</c><00:26:33.380><c> it.</c>

00:26:34.220 --> 00:26:36.359
It's<00:26:34.339><c> just</c><00:26:34.460><c> that</c><00:26:34.579><c> he</c><00:26:34.720><c> made</c><00:26:34.940><c> sure</c><00:26:35.099><c> it</c><00:26:35.240><c> got</c><00:26:35.420><c> done.</c>

00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:40.660

00:26:41.019 --> 00:26:44.859
Well,<00:26:42.119><c> we</c><00:26:42.380><c> have</c><00:26:42.559><c> certain</c><00:26:42.839><c> appointments</c><00:26:43.380><c> in</c><00:26:43.579><c> the</c><00:26:43.779><c> Ecclesia.</c>

That's<00:27:37.599><c> all</c><00:27:37.759><c> of</c><00:27:37.920><c> us.</c>

00:27:40.779 --> 00:27:46.920

Too<00:27:51.920><c> hard?</c>

00:27:52.940 --> 00:27:54.279
Yes.

00:27:59.500 --> 00:28:01.220
But<00:27:59.599><c> we</c><00:27:59.759><c> better</c><00:28:00.019><c> try.</c>

00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:18.779
That's<00:28:17.400><c> assurance</c><00:28:17.960><c> from</c><00:28:18.319><c> God.</c>

00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:20.559
Total<00:28:19.279><c> assurance.</c>

00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:30.319

00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:02.380
Do<00:30:00.039><c> you</c><00:30:00.119><c> think</c><00:30:00.279><c> you're</c><00:30:00.480><c> going</c><00:30:00.619><c> to</c><00:30:00.720><c> be</c><00:30:00.819><c> in</c><00:30:00.920><c> the</c><00:30:01.059><c> kingdom</c><00:30:01.259><c> of</c><00:30:01.539><c> God?</c>
