00:02:57.580 --> 00:03:00.719
So<00:02:57.780><c> why</c><00:02:58.259><c> aren't</c><00:02:58.900><c> people</c><00:02:59.599><c> responding?</c>

00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:05.240
Why<00:03:01.439><c> aren't</c><00:03:02.280><c> people</c><00:03:02.680><c> being</c><00:03:03.060><c> converted</c><00:03:03.580><c> in</c><00:03:03.840><c> their</c><00:03:04.120><c> thousands?</c>

00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:09.199
Why<00:03:05.659><c> aren't</c><00:03:05.879><c> they</c><00:03:06.180><c> accused</c><00:03:06.599><c> to</c><00:03:06.819><c> get</c><00:03:06.979><c> into</c><00:03:07.340><c> our</c><00:03:07.639><c> ecclesial</c><00:03:08.060><c> halls?</c>

00:03:09.780 --> 00:03:11.939
Why<00:03:10.060><c> isn't</c><00:03:10.319><c> the</c><00:03:10.560><c> message</c><00:03:10.780><c> getting</c><00:03:11.120><c> through?</c>

00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:14.500
And<00:03:12.520><c> even</c><00:03:12.919><c> questions</c><00:03:13.400><c> closer</c><00:03:13.800><c> to</c><00:03:14.099><c> home.</c>

00:03:14.500 --> 00:03:17.919
Why<00:03:15.300><c> is</c><00:03:15.599><c> it</c><00:03:15.759><c> that</c><00:03:15.879><c> we</c><00:03:15.979><c> have</c><00:03:16.460><c> baptized</c><00:03:17.020><c> brothers</c><00:03:17.379><c> and</c><00:03:17.639><c> sisters</c>

00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:20.580

00:03:24.419 --> 00:03:26.919
Why<00:03:24.599><c> is</c><00:03:24.819><c> it</c><00:03:24.939><c> that</c><00:03:25.099><c> young</c><00:03:25.360><c> people</c><00:03:25.620><c> that</c><00:03:25.740><c> have</c><00:03:25.939><c> grown</c><00:03:26.139><c> up</c><00:03:26.419><c> in</c><00:03:26.639><c> our</c>

00:03:26.919 --> 00:03:30.259
CYCs<00:03:27.659><c> and</c><00:03:28.379><c> gone</c><00:03:29.400><c> through</c><00:03:29.740><c> our</c><00:03:29.979><c> Sunday</c>

00:03:30.259 --> 00:03:34.479
school<00:03:30.539><c> come</c><00:03:30.800><c> up</c><00:03:31.039><c> inside</c><00:03:31.639><c> the</c><00:03:31.960><c> truth,</c><00:03:32.360><c> never</c><00:03:33.300><c> get</c><00:03:33.639><c> baptized</c>

and<00:03:35.659><c> never</c><00:03:35.960><c> make</c><00:03:36.199><c> it?</c>

00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:42.020
So<00:03:38.620><c> you</c><00:03:38.659><c> don't</c><00:03:38.860><c> have</c><00:03:39.020><c> the</c><00:03:39.259><c> silver</c><00:03:39.479><c> bullet,</c><00:03:39.960><c> brothers</c><00:03:39.960><c> and</c><00:03:40.259><c> sisters,</c><00:03:41.840><c> for</c>

00:03:42.020 --> 00:03:43.060
the<00:03:42.199><c> answer</c><00:03:42.419><c> to</c><00:03:42.620><c> that</c><00:03:42.780><c> because</c>

00:03:43.060 --> 00:03:46.259
it's<00:03:43.319><c> all</c><00:03:43.539><c> contextual</c><00:03:44.099><c> and</c><00:03:44.539><c> circumstantial,</c><00:03:45.360><c> but</c><00:03:45.520><c> there</c><00:03:45.719><c> is,</c>

00:03:46.340 --> 00:03:50.340
however,<00:03:47.199><c> one</c><00:03:47.659><c> common</c><00:03:48.159><c> factor</c><00:03:48.819><c> as</c><00:03:50.219><c> to</c>

00:03:50.340 --> 00:03:53.060
the<00:03:50.460><c> reason,</c><00:03:50.960><c> perhaps,</c><00:03:52.560><c> why.</c>

00:03:54.159 --> 00:04:01.180
I<00:03:54.379><c> think</c><00:03:54.599><c> that</c><00:03:54.879><c> one</c><00:03:55.800><c> common</c><00:03:56.400><c> factor</c><00:03:57.560><c> is</c><00:03:59.240><c> that</c><00:03:59.580><c> we</c><00:03:59.780><c> don't</c><00:04:00.500><c> believe,</c><00:04:01.060><c> or</c>

00:04:01.180 --> 00:04:03.060
the<00:04:01.659><c> ones</c><00:04:01.900><c> that</c><00:04:02.300><c> don't</c><00:04:02.659><c> join</c>

00:04:03.060 --> 00:04:06.919
and<00:04:03.319><c> come</c><00:04:03.520><c> along,</c><00:04:03.800><c> and</c><00:04:03.919><c> the</c><00:04:04.020><c> ones</c><00:04:04.219><c> that</c><00:04:04.599><c> leave</c><00:04:05.139><c> are</c><00:04:06.340><c> the</c><00:04:06.560><c> same</c>

00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.300
reasons<00:04:07.439><c> why</c><00:04:07.960><c> Noah</c><00:04:08.199><c> struggled</c><00:04:08.659><c> to</c><00:04:08.900><c> convince</c>

00:04:09.300 --> 00:04:11.360
and<00:04:09.580><c> convert</c><00:04:10.080><c> his</c><00:04:10.900><c> generation.</c>

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.419
The<00:04:11.520><c> answer</c><00:04:11.780><c> is</c><00:04:11.960><c> because</c><00:04:12.240><c> they</c><00:04:12.599><c> didn't</c><00:04:13.500><c> practically</c><00:04:14.500><c> believe</c>

00:04:15.419 --> 00:04:17.819
that<00:04:16.240><c> judgment</c><00:04:16.560><c> is</c><00:04:16.800><c> coming.</c>

00:04:18.699 --> 00:04:25.139
Oh,<00:04:19.480><c> they</c><00:04:19.819><c> might</c><00:04:20.180><c> have</c><00:04:20.680><c> academically</c><00:04:21.319><c> thought</c><00:04:21.939><c> that</c><00:04:22.720><c> they</c><00:04:22.920><c> understood</c><00:04:23.420><c> the</c><00:04:23.699><c> possibility</c><00:04:24.379><c> of</c><00:04:24.620><c> Christ's</c>

00:04:25.139 --> 00:04:32.620
return,<00:04:26.259><c> but</c><00:04:28.720><c> they</c><00:04:28.980><c> don't</c><00:04:29.339><c> actually</c><00:04:30.040><c> believe</c><00:04:30.980><c> that</c><00:04:31.860><c> what</c><00:04:32.220><c> God</c>

00:04:32.620 --> 00:04:35.879
has<00:04:32.939><c> said</c><00:04:33.220><c> he</c><00:04:33.480><c> is</c><00:04:34.319><c> going</c><00:04:34.759><c> to</c><00:04:35.040><c> perform.</c>

00:04:37.579 --> 00:04:40.120
And<00:04:38.100><c> the</c><00:04:38.360><c> scary</c><00:04:38.699><c> thing</c><00:04:39.000><c> out</c><00:04:39.180><c> of</c><00:04:39.300><c> the</c><00:04:39.459><c> warning</c><00:04:39.620><c> of</c><00:04:39.860><c> Noah</c><00:04:39.980><c> that</c>

00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:41.839
we're<00:04:40.339><c> going</c><00:04:40.439><c> to</c><00:04:40.600><c> consider</c><00:04:40.860><c> this</c><00:04:41.100><c> morning</c>

00:04:41.860 --> 00:04:44.379

00:04:46.220 --> 00:04:48.959
We<00:04:46.360><c> can</c><00:04:46.639><c> stay</c><00:04:46.980><c> in</c><00:04:47.319><c> our</c><00:04:47.500><c> ecclesial</c><00:04:47.839><c> environments.</c>

00:05:01.860 --> 00:05:06.079
And<00:05:02.339><c> you</c><00:05:02.819><c> see,</c><00:05:03.139><c> for</c><00:05:03.139><c> us,</c><00:05:04.459><c> brothers</c><00:05:04.459><c> and</c><00:05:04.560><c> sisters,</c><00:05:04.740><c> if</c><00:05:04.899><c> we</c><00:05:05.060><c> think</c><00:05:05.240><c> we're</c><00:05:05.500><c> exempt</c><00:05:05.800><c> from</c>

00:05:10.220 --> 00:05:15.100
You<00:05:10.399><c> see,</c><00:05:10.540><c> for</c><00:05:10.740><c> us,</c><00:05:11.360><c> although</c><00:05:11.779><c> doctrinally</c><00:05:12.360><c> and</c><00:05:12.660><c> theoretically</c><00:05:13.019><c> we</c><00:05:13.240><c> know</c><00:05:13.540><c> judgment</c><00:05:13.939><c> is</c><00:05:14.240><c> coming,</c>

00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:18.480
you<00:05:16.000><c> see,</c><00:05:16.100><c> we</c><00:05:16.240><c> can</c><00:05:16.579><c> fool</c><00:05:16.759><c> ourselves</c><00:05:17.259><c> into</c><00:05:17.560><c> thinking</c><00:05:17.759><c> that</c><00:05:17.959><c> it's</c><00:05:18.160><c> not</c>

And<00:05:21.839><c> we</c><00:05:22.600><c> can</c><00:05:22.819><c> continue</c><00:05:23.399><c> as</c><00:05:24.160><c> we</c><00:05:24.480><c> think</c><00:05:24.680><c> that</c><00:05:24.920><c> Christ</c><00:05:25.100><c> isn't</c><00:05:25.319><c> coming</c><00:05:25.620><c> yet,</c><00:05:25.899><c> we</c>

But<00:12:09.179><c> it's</c><00:12:09.460><c> more</c><00:12:10.059><c> than</c><00:12:10.519><c> the</c><00:12:10.799><c> warnings</c><00:12:11.120><c> and</c><00:12:11.320><c> the</c><00:12:11.559><c> judgments</c>

00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:35.519

00:16:27.580 --> 00:16:29.120
