with<00:17:52.059><c> respect</c><00:17:52.519><c> to</c><00:17:52.779><c> our</c><00:17:53.000><c> daily</c><00:17:53.299><c> living.</c>

00:17:54.579 --> 00:17:56.980
He<00:17:54.940><c> expected</c><00:17:55.200><c> more</c><00:17:55.500><c> than</c><00:17:55.720><c> that.</c>

00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:00.240
And<00:17:58.039><c> that's</c><00:17:58.380><c> the</c><00:17:58.579><c> message</c><00:17:58.980><c> that</c><00:17:59.180><c> I</c><00:17:59.299><c> think</c><00:17:59.500><c> we</c><00:17:59.740><c> ought</c><00:17:59.940><c> to</c><00:18:00.119><c> take</c>

00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:01.440
to<00:18:00.480><c> our</c><00:18:00.660><c> heart.</c>

00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:05.140
There's<00:18:02.920><c> an</c><00:18:03.140><c> angel</c><00:18:03.539><c> assigned</c><00:18:04.119><c> to</c><00:18:04.400><c> our</c><00:18:04.700><c> care.</c>

00:18:05.460 --> 00:18:07.140
We<00:18:05.880><c> depend</c><00:18:06.359><c> upon</c><00:18:06.599><c> that</c><00:18:06.859><c> angel.</c>

00:18:07.240 --> 00:18:10.079
And<00:18:07.420><c> we</c><00:18:08.059><c> largely</c><00:18:08.480><c> have</c><00:18:08.900><c> changed</c><00:18:09.299><c> our</c><00:18:09.720><c> life</c>

00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:12.960
because<00:18:10.460><c> we</c><00:18:10.740><c> know</c><00:18:10.920><c> that</c><00:18:11.140><c> angel</c><00:18:11.400><c> is</c><00:18:11.619><c> with</c><00:18:11.779><c> us.</c>

00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:15.859
Then,<00:18:14.099><c> brethren</c><00:18:14.220><c> and</c><00:18:14.420><c> sisters,</c><00:18:14.640><c> if</c><00:18:14.839><c> there's</c><00:18:15.220><c> any</c><00:18:15.440><c> way</c><00:18:15.640><c> to</c>

00:18:15.859 --> 00:18:17.240
avoid<00:18:16.180><c> provoking</c><00:18:16.660><c> that</c><00:18:16.920><c> angel,</c>

00:18:17.700 --> 00:18:20.099

00:18:20.099 --> 00:18:20.559
the<00:18:20.279><c> Bible</c>

00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:26.220
to<00:18:21.200><c> avoid</c><00:18:21.619><c> doing</c><00:18:21.980><c> things</c><00:18:22.400><c> which</c><00:18:22.839><c> are</c><00:18:23.759><c> opposite</c><00:18:24.259><c> to</c><00:18:25.180><c> the</c><00:18:25.779><c> standards,</c>

00:18:26.220 --> 00:18:27.660
you<00:18:26.400><c> might</c><00:18:26.640><c> say,</c><00:18:26.880><c> of</c><00:18:27.019><c> the</c><00:18:27.279><c> angel,</c>

00:18:27.660 --> 00:18:31.220
then<00:18:28.319><c> we</c><00:18:28.539><c> want</c><00:18:28.799><c> to</c><00:18:29.160><c> certainly</c><00:18:29.460><c> give</c><00:18:29.720><c> heed</c><00:18:29.900><c> to</c><00:18:30.140><c> these.</c>

00:18:33.420 --> 00:18:37.680
Well,<00:18:33.640><c> the</c><00:18:33.819><c> implications</c><00:18:34.460><c> are</c><00:18:35.079><c> many,</c><00:18:36.440><c> very</c><00:18:36.839><c> many.</c>

00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:40.420
You<00:18:38.740><c> just</c><00:18:38.980><c> think</c><00:18:39.160><c> of</c><00:18:39.400><c> this.</c>

00:18:41.099 --> 00:18:45.240
Think<00:18:41.299><c> of</c><00:18:41.480><c> the</c><00:18:41.779><c> angel</c><00:18:42.220><c> being</c><00:18:43.519><c> with</c><00:18:43.779><c> us</c><00:18:44.259><c> to</c><00:18:44.539><c> such</c><00:18:44.720><c> an</c><00:18:44.980><c> extent</c>

00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:49.279
he's<00:18:45.619><c> aware</c><00:18:45.859><c> of</c><00:18:46.319><c> everything</c><00:18:46.900><c> we</c><00:18:47.420><c> think,</c><00:18:48.259><c> everything</c><00:18:48.619><c> we</c><00:18:48.980><c> do.</c>

00:18:49.619 --> 00:18:51.779
He's<00:18:49.920><c> aware</c><00:18:50.240><c> of</c><00:18:50.599><c> the</c><00:18:50.940><c> house</c><00:18:51.160><c> we</c><00:18:51.440><c> live</c><00:18:51.619><c> in.</c>

00:18:51.819 --> 00:18:55.160
He's<00:18:52.140><c> aware</c><00:18:52.359><c> of</c><00:18:52.579><c> the</c><00:18:52.859><c> music</c><00:18:53.180><c> we</c><00:18:53.380><c> listen</c><00:18:53.640><c> to,</c><00:18:54.380><c> the</c><00:18:54.680><c> magazines</c>

00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:55.740
that<00:18:55.380><c> we</c><00:18:55.579><c> read,</c>

00:18:55.740 --> 00:18:59.420
because<00:18:56.039><c> that</c><00:18:56.339><c> angel</c><00:18:56.660><c> assigned</c><00:18:57.059><c> to</c><00:18:57.319><c> our</c><00:18:57.619><c> care</c><00:18:58.039><c> is</c><00:18:58.859><c> just</c><00:18:59.119><c> there</c>

00:18:59.420 --> 00:19:01.119
watching<00:18:59.740><c> what</c><00:18:59.960><c> we</c><00:19:00.180><c> do.</c>

00:19:02.779 --> 00:19:05.900
Now,<00:19:02.940><c> let's</c><00:19:03.079><c> look</c><00:19:03.240><c> at</c><00:19:03.359><c> the</c><00:19:03.599><c> music</c><00:19:04.299><c> that</c><00:19:04.680><c> we</c><00:19:04.859><c> listen</c><00:19:05.099><c> to.</c>

00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:10.559
It<00:19:07.859><c> seems</c><00:19:08.059><c> to</c><00:19:08.259><c> be</c><00:19:08.539><c> customary,</c><00:19:09.400><c> brethren</c><00:19:09.480><c> and</c><00:19:09.680><c> sisters,</c>

00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:13.220
for<00:19:10.799><c> us</c><00:19:11.019><c> always</c><00:19:11.359><c> to</c><00:19:11.559><c> come</c><00:19:11.720><c> down</c><00:19:12.000><c> pretty</c><00:19:12.339><c> hard</c><00:19:12.480><c> on</c><00:19:12.619><c> the</c><00:19:12.839><c> teenagers</c>

00:19:13.220 --> 00:19:16.000
because<00:19:13.619><c> the</c><00:19:13.960><c> teenagers</c><00:19:14.259><c> always</c><00:19:14.660><c> seem</c><00:19:14.819><c> to</c><00:19:14.960><c> be</c><00:19:15.200><c> interested</c><00:19:15.579><c> in</c>

00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:17.619
a<00:19:16.279><c> level</c><00:19:16.440><c> of</c><00:19:16.720><c> music</c>

00:19:17.509 --> 00:19:19.960
and<00:19:17.779><c> in</c><00:19:17.980><c> a</c><00:19:18.099><c> variety</c><00:19:18.440><c> of</c><00:19:18.660><c> music</c><00:19:18.980><c> that</c><00:19:19.140><c> when</c><00:19:19.279><c> you</c><00:19:19.460><c> grow</c><00:19:19.599><c> older</c>

00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:21.279
and<00:19:20.119><c> more</c><00:19:20.299><c> mature,</c>

00:19:21.460 --> 00:19:24.099
you<00:19:22.000><c> don't</c><00:19:22.200><c> feel</c><00:19:22.539><c> that</c><00:19:22.799><c> you</c><00:19:23.119><c> even</c><00:19:23.420><c> want</c><00:19:23.579><c> to</c><00:19:23.740><c> hear</c><00:19:23.859><c> that.</c>

00:19:24.099 --> 00:19:26.500
In<00:19:24.220><c> fact,</c><00:19:24.420><c> you</c><00:19:24.500><c> can't</c><00:19:24.700><c> even</c><00:19:25.039><c> stand</c><00:19:25.279><c> it</c><00:19:25.440><c> any</c><00:19:25.660><c> longer.</c>

00:19:27.099 --> 00:19:30.880
And<00:19:27.359><c> so</c><00:19:27.599><c> we</c><00:19:28.019><c> naturally</c><00:19:28.660><c> would</c><00:19:29.460><c> say,</c><00:19:29.960><c> well,</c><00:19:30.140><c> if</c><00:19:30.259><c> the</c><00:19:30.500><c> teenagers</c>

00:19:30.880 --> 00:19:32.359

00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.299
But<00:19:32.960><c> in</c><00:19:33.180><c> thinking</c><00:19:33.359><c> about</c><00:19:33.579><c> this</c><00:19:33.839><c> a</c><00:19:34.000><c> little</c><00:19:34.200><c> and</c><00:19:34.440><c> just</c><00:19:34.700><c> going</c><00:19:34.859><c> over</c><00:19:35.140><c> a</c>

00:19:35.900 --> 00:19:39.220
which<00:19:36.160><c> were</c><00:19:36.339><c> very</c><00:19:36.700><c> popular</c><00:19:37.240><c> a</c><00:19:37.640><c> few</c><00:19:37.779><c> years</c><00:19:38.099><c> back,</c>

00:19:39.299 --> 00:19:43.980
have<00:19:39.420><c> you</c><00:19:39.440><c> ever</c><00:19:39.680><c> heard</c><00:19:40.039><c> Frank</c><00:19:40.640><c> Sinatra</c><00:19:41.200><c> saying,</c><00:19:41.940><c> I</c><00:19:42.240><c> did</c><00:19:42.400><c> it</c><00:19:42.720><c> my</c><00:19:43.059><c> way?</c>

00:19:45.819 --> 00:19:48.140
Now,<00:19:46.000><c> you</c><00:19:46.160><c> think</c><00:19:46.339><c> about</c><00:19:46.660><c> those</c><00:19:47.000><c> words.</c>

00:19:49.180 --> 00:19:51.720
And<00:19:49.440><c> if</c><00:19:49.599><c> that</c><00:19:49.940><c> tune</c><00:19:50.059><c> is</c><00:19:50.319><c> on</c><00:19:50.559><c> our</c><00:19:50.839><c> lips,</c>

00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.640
I<00:19:52.480><c> would</c><00:19:52.740><c> dare</c><00:19:52.980><c> say</c><00:19:53.180><c> that</c><00:19:53.400><c> would</c><00:19:53.700><c> provoke</c><00:19:54.220><c> the</c><00:19:54.539><c> angel</c><00:19:54.819><c> assigned</c><00:19:55.140><c> to</c><00:19:55.380><c> our</c><00:19:55.599><c> care.</c>

00:19:57.500 --> 00:19:59.240
If<00:19:57.579><c> anybody</c><00:19:57.900><c> can</c><00:19:58.099><c> go</c><00:19:58.299><c> through</c><00:19:58.500><c> his</c><00:19:58.720><c> life</c><00:19:58.900><c> and</c><00:19:59.119><c> say,</c>

00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:02.299
well,<00:19:59.700><c> I</c><00:20:00.000><c> maybe</c><00:20:00.240><c> didn't</c><00:20:00.440><c> do</c><00:20:00.680><c> this</c><00:20:00.920><c> and</c><00:20:01.039><c> maybe</c><00:20:01.259><c> didn't</c><00:20:01.539><c> do</c><00:20:01.779><c> that,</c><00:20:02.059><c> but</c>

00:20:02.299 --> 00:20:03.440
I<00:20:02.559><c> did</c><00:20:02.700><c> it</c><00:20:02.880><c> my</c><00:20:03.160><c> way.</c>

00:20:03.779 --> 00:20:07.299
That's<00:20:04.259><c> exactly</c><00:20:04.740><c> what</c><00:20:04.920><c> we're</c><00:20:05.220><c> trying</c><00:20:05.380><c> to</c><00:20:05.599><c> put</c><00:20:05.779><c> down</c><00:20:06.119><c> in</c><00:20:06.299><c> the</c><00:20:06.460><c> scriptures.</c>

00:20:07.619 --> 00:20:09.119
We're<00:20:07.779><c> not</c><00:20:08.019><c> trying</c><00:20:08.200><c> to</c><00:20:08.359><c> do</c><00:20:08.440><c> it</c><00:20:08.640><c> our</c><00:20:08.900><c> way.</c>

00:28:34.140 --> 00:28:37.819
But<00:28:34.339><c> I</c><00:28:34.500><c> feel</c><00:28:34.660><c> that</c><00:28:34.980><c> one</c><00:28:35.259><c> is</c><00:28:35.700><c> one</c><00:28:35.880><c> of</c><00:28:35.980><c> the</c><00:28:36.240><c> major</c><00:28:36.559><c> reasons</c><00:28:37.220><c> that</c>

00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:47.859
Where<00:28:45.940><c> is</c><00:28:46.119><c> our</c><00:28:46.359><c> standard,</c><00:28:46.880><c> brother</c><00:28:46.920><c> and</c><00:28:47.059><c> sisters?</c>

00:28:48.579 --> 00:28:51.099
Well,<00:28:48.839><c> maybe</c><00:28:49.079><c> we've</c><00:28:49.359><c> got</c><00:28:49.460><c> to</c><00:28:49.660><c> rethink</c><00:28:50.079><c> some</c><00:28:50.400><c> of</c><00:28:50.559><c> our</c><00:28:50.839><c> standards.</c>

00:28:51.099 --> 00:28:56.900
We've<00:28:51.440><c> got</c><00:28:51.519><c> to</c><00:28:51.660><c> come</c><00:28:51.900><c> back</c><00:28:52.240><c> and</c><00:28:52.700><c> look</c><00:28:52.980><c> at</c><00:28:53.960><c> the</c><00:28:54.400><c> differences</c><00:28:54.880><c> between</c><00:28:55.500><c> the</c><00:28:55.839><c> way</c><00:28:56.279><c> it</c>

00:28:56.900 --> 00:28:58.940
used<00:28:57.160><c> to</c><00:28:57.359><c> be</c><00:28:57.700><c> and</c><00:28:58.079><c> the</c><00:28:58.240><c> way</c><00:28:58.359><c> it</c><00:28:58.480><c> is</c><00:28:58.720><c> now.</c>

00:28:58.960 --> 00:29:01.599
I<00:28:59.119><c> can</c><00:28:59.339><c> remember,</c><00:28:59.779><c> and</c><00:28:59.980><c> I'm</c><00:29:00.180><c> sure</c><00:29:00.380><c> a</c><00:29:00.440><c> lot</c><00:29:00.599><c> of</c><00:29:00.799><c> sisters</c><00:29:01.019><c> can</c><00:29:01.259><c> remember,</c>

00:29:01.680 --> 00:29:04.960
when<00:29:01.940><c> sisters</c><00:29:02.339><c> would</c><00:29:02.539><c> never</c><00:29:02.819><c> think</c><00:29:03.359><c> of</c><00:29:04.140><c> coming</c><00:29:04.420><c> to</c><00:29:04.599><c> a</c><00:29:04.740><c> meeting</c>

00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:06.599
without<00:29:05.339><c> their</c><00:29:05.559><c> head</c><00:29:05.720><c> covered.</c>

00:29:06.700 --> 00:29:09.140
But<00:29:06.940><c> since</c><00:29:07.240><c> that</c><00:29:07.539><c> time,</c><00:29:07.940><c> brother</c><00:29:08.039><c> and</c><00:29:08.220><c> sisters,</c><00:29:08.619><c> a</c><00:29:08.740><c> lot</c><00:29:08.940><c> of</c>

00:29:09.140 --> 00:29:12.880
people<00:29:09.339><c> have</c><00:29:09.480><c> been</c><00:29:09.740><c> converted</c><00:29:10.259><c> and</c><00:29:10.660><c> have</c><00:29:10.839><c> come</c><00:29:10.940><c> into</c><00:29:11.759><c> the</c><00:29:11.980><c> truth.</c>

00:29:13.440 --> 00:29:16.920
And<00:29:13.680><c> there</c><00:29:13.859><c> seems</c><00:29:14.079><c> to</c><00:29:14.240><c> be</c><00:29:14.400><c> three</c><00:29:14.759><c> reasons</c><00:29:15.440><c> why</c><00:29:16.079><c> people</c><00:29:16.460><c> do</c><00:29:16.700><c> not</c>

00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:18.140
cover<00:29:17.099><c> their</c><00:29:17.319><c> heads.</c>

00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:21.099
One<00:29:19.039><c> is,</c><00:29:19.400><c> well,</c><00:29:19.480><c> nobody</c><00:29:19.660><c> else</c><00:29:19.960><c> does.</c>

00:29:21.960 --> 00:29:24.880
Secondly,<00:29:22.619><c> I</c><00:29:22.900><c> don't</c><00:29:23.079><c> have</c><00:29:23.279><c> a</c><00:29:23.460><c> covering</c><00:29:23.640><c> that</c><00:29:23.920><c> matches.</c>

00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:28.980
And<00:29:25.960><c> thirdly,</c><00:29:26.740><c> it</c><00:29:27.400><c> doesn't</c><00:29:27.680><c> feel</c><00:29:28.059><c> comfortable.</c>

00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:33.299
Now,<00:29:29.940><c> which</c><00:29:30.079><c> one</c><00:29:30.259><c> of</c><00:29:30.420><c> those</c><00:29:30.839><c> reasons</c><00:29:31.720><c> would</c><00:29:32.160><c> a</c><00:29:32.380><c> sister</c><00:29:32.740><c> use</c>

00:29:33.299 --> 00:29:34.940
before<00:29:33.920><c> her</c><00:29:34.200><c> angel?</c>

00:29:36.420 --> 00:29:39.640
If<00:29:36.980><c> the</c><00:29:37.259><c> angel</c><00:29:37.440><c> sees</c><00:29:37.880><c> that</c><00:29:38.079><c> when</c><00:29:38.259><c> a</c><00:29:38.359><c> woman</c><00:29:38.559><c> does</c><00:29:38.880><c> that,</c><00:29:39.160><c> she's</c>

00:29:39.640 --> 00:29:42.519
testifying<00:29:40.259><c> to</c><00:29:40.519><c> what</c><00:29:40.839><c> happened</c><00:29:41.160><c> at</c><00:29:41.380><c> creation,</c>

00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:46.680
then<00:29:43.400><c> this</c><00:29:43.660><c> must</c><00:29:43.920><c> happen</c><00:29:44.779><c> at</c><00:29:45.480><c> all</c><00:29:45.680><c> times.</c>

00:29:48.339 --> 00:29:52.619
Let's<00:29:48.539><c> have</c><00:29:48.700><c> a</c><00:29:48.740><c> look</c><00:29:48.900><c> at</c><00:29:49.099><c> another</c><00:29:49.279><c> area,</c><00:29:51.339><c> the</c><00:29:51.500><c> area</c><00:29:51.779><c> of</c><00:29:52.180><c> prayer</c>

00:29:52.619 --> 00:29:54.660
and<00:29:53.299><c> thanksgiving.</c>

00:29:59.799 --> 00:30:04.619
It<00:30:00.059><c> seems</c><00:30:00.240><c> to</c><00:30:00.480><c> me</c><00:30:00.700><c> that</c><00:30:00.880><c> there</c><00:30:01.140><c> is,</c><00:30:02.319><c> I</c><00:30:03.599><c> don't</c><00:30:03.819><c> think</c><00:30:04.099><c> strange</c>

00:30:04.619 --> 00:30:05.720
is<00:30:04.940><c> the</c><00:30:05.039><c> proper</c><00:30:05.180><c> word</c><00:30:05.359><c> to</c><00:30:05.599><c> use,</c>

00:30:06.059 --> 00:30:10.480
but<00:30:06.220><c> certainly</c><00:30:06.579><c> unusual</c><00:30:07.500><c> verses</c><00:30:07.880><c> in</c><00:30:08.119><c> the</c><00:30:08.299><c> Bible</c><00:30:08.579><c> in</c><00:30:09.240><c> relationship</c><00:30:09.779><c> to</c><00:30:10.140><c> prayer.</c>

00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:14.619
We<00:30:11.619><c> know</c><00:30:12.059><c> that</c><00:30:12.839><c> prayer</c><00:30:13.279><c> is</c><00:30:13.460><c> something</c><00:30:13.759><c> that's</c><00:30:14.079><c> familiar</c><00:30:14.339><c> with</c>

00:30:24.200 --> 00:30:28.680

00:30:32.460 --> 00:30:43.640
Where<00:30:32.740><c> the</c><00:30:40.400><c> admonition</c><00:30:40.839><c> of</c><00:30:41.059><c> this</c><00:30:41.319><c> verse</c><00:30:41.519><c> is,</c>

00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:11.199
Now<00:38:07.179><c> it's</c><00:38:07.360><c> quite</c><00:38:07.579><c> obvious</c><00:38:08.280><c> as</c><00:38:09.239><c> we</c><00:38:10.360><c> mentioned</c><00:38:10.780><c> earlier</c>

Because<00:38:21.119><c> there's</c><00:38:21.679><c> benefit</c><00:38:22.119><c> to</c><00:38:22.619><c> us</c><00:38:23.500><c> in</c><00:38:24.139><c> asking.</c>

we'll<00:38:37.559><c> say</c><00:38:37.739><c> no</c><00:38:38.039><c> to</c>

00:38:39.460 --> 00:38:41.699
because<00:38:39.940><c> they've</c><00:38:40.420><c> asked</c><00:38:40.719><c> to</c><00:38:40.960><c> miss.</c>

00:38:42.059 --> 00:38:44.900
They've<00:38:42.420><c> asked</c><00:38:42.639><c> to</c><00:38:43.119><c> consume</c><00:38:43.539><c> it</c><00:38:43.739><c> in</c><00:38:43.840><c> their</c><00:38:44.019><c> lusts.</c>

00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:47.139
And<00:38:45.380><c> that's</c><00:38:45.639><c> wrong</c><00:38:45.880><c> and</c><00:38:46.019><c> we</c><00:38:46.199><c> won't</c><00:38:46.340><c> give</c><00:38:46.519><c> it</c><00:38:46.679><c> to</c><00:38:46.800><c> them.</c>

00:38:47.420 --> 00:38:50.960
And<00:38:47.619><c> so</c><00:38:47.800><c> God</c><00:38:48.260><c> similarly</c><00:38:49.280><c> wants</c><00:38:49.860><c> us</c><00:38:50.139><c> to</c><00:38:50.440><c> ask.</c>

00:38:51.420 --> 00:38:54.460
And<00:38:51.500><c> when</c><00:38:51.559><c> we</c><00:38:51.719><c> don't</c><00:38:51.960><c> receive</c><00:38:52.280><c> it,</c><00:38:52.519><c> to</c><00:38:52.659><c> think</c><00:38:52.820><c> of</c><00:38:52.980><c> why</c><00:38:53.119><c> we</c><00:38:53.300><c> haven't</c><00:38:53.539><c> received</c><00:38:53.900><c> it.</c>

00:38:54.739 --> 00:38:58.539
It<00:38:54.860><c> may</c><00:38:55.079><c> very</c><00:38:55.400><c> well</c><00:38:55.599><c> be</c><00:38:55.800><c> the</c><00:38:56.039><c> exhortation</c><00:38:56.539><c> in</c><00:38:56.780><c> James</c><00:38:57.380><c> will</c><00:38:58.059><c> apply</c><00:38:58.360><c> to</c>

00:38:58.539 --> 00:38:59.719
us<00:38:58.800><c> also.</c>

00:39:01.500 --> 00:39:03.480
There's<00:39:01.719><c> an</c><00:39:01.920><c> interesting</c><00:39:02.239><c> aspect</c><00:39:02.739><c> of</c><00:39:02.980><c> prayer</c><00:39:03.119><c> though</c><00:39:03.320><c> that</c>

00:39:03.480 --> 00:39:05.539
has<00:39:03.659><c> bothered</c><00:39:03.780><c> me</c><00:39:04.079><c> somewhat</c><00:39:04.340><c> in</c><00:39:04.559><c> the</c><00:39:04.679><c> past.</c>

00:39:05.659 --> 00:39:10.340
From<00:39:06.159><c> time</c><00:39:06.360><c> to</c><00:39:06.599><c> time</c><00:39:07.099><c> there</c><00:39:07.460><c> are</c><00:39:07.739><c> problems</c><00:39:08.239><c> in</c><00:39:08.480><c> the</c><00:39:08.739><c> truth</c><00:39:09.000><c> where</c><00:39:09.699><c> in</c>

00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:17.659
It<00:39:14.559><c> may</c><00:39:14.559><c> be</c><00:39:14.739><c> that</c><00:39:14.960><c> some</c><00:39:15.139><c> one</c><00:39:15.260><c> of</c><00:39:15.400><c> us</c><00:39:15.639><c> has</c><00:39:16.199><c> fallen</c><00:39:16.480><c> ill,</c><00:39:16.920><c> very</c><00:39:17.239><c> ill.</c>

00:39:18.099 --> 00:39:20.880
And<00:39:18.280><c> we</c><00:39:18.460><c> think</c><00:39:18.659><c> that</c><00:39:18.840><c> it's</c><00:39:19.239><c> a</c><00:39:19.440><c> matter</c><00:39:19.659><c> of</c><00:39:19.900><c> such</c><00:39:20.099><c> urgency</c><00:39:20.599><c> that</c>

00:39:20.880 --> 00:39:22.940
we<00:39:21.019><c> would</c><00:39:21.239><c> call</c><00:39:21.380><c> the</c><00:39:21.619><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:39:21.920><c> together</c>

00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:26.760
and<00:39:23.579><c> have</c><00:39:23.760><c> a</c><00:39:24.019><c> special</c><00:39:24.340><c> meeting</c><00:39:24.820><c> of</c><00:39:25.539><c> prayer</c><00:39:25.760><c> dedicated</c><00:39:26.380><c> to</c><00:39:26.659><c> the</c>

00:39:26.760 --> 00:39:28.460
recovery<00:39:27.219><c> of</c><00:39:27.380><c> that</c><00:39:27.519><c> individual.</c>

00:39:29.980 --> 00:39:33.380
Well,<00:39:30.320><c> let's</c><00:39:30.599><c> look</c><00:39:30.900><c> at</c><00:39:31.539><c> any</c><00:39:31.719><c> verse</c><00:39:31.940><c> or</c><00:39:32.159><c> two</c><00:39:32.239><c> on</c><00:39:32.400><c> this.</c>

00:39:33.760 --> 00:39:39.239
I've<00:39:34.119><c> heard</c><00:39:34.260><c> many</c><00:39:34.619><c> people</c><00:39:35.320><c> in</c><00:39:36.019><c> that</c><00:39:36.340><c> particular</c><00:39:36.900><c> way</c><00:39:37.460><c> of</c><00:39:37.920><c> asking</c><00:39:38.280><c> God</c>

00:39:39.500 --> 00:39:43.780
to<00:39:40.219><c> almost</c><00:39:40.719><c> be</c><00:39:41.159><c> hesitant</c><00:39:41.599><c> to</c><00:39:41.920><c> ask</c><00:39:42.400><c> God</c><00:39:42.760><c> something</c><00:39:43.159><c> because</c><00:39:43.500><c> it</c>

00:39:43.780 --> 00:39:45.860
may<00:39:44.000><c> be</c><00:39:44.239><c> against</c><00:39:44.659><c> his</c><00:39:45.059><c> will.</c>

00:39:46.880 --> 00:39:52.539
We<00:39:47.159><c> ask</c><00:39:47.940><c> you</c><00:39:48.380><c> Lord</c><00:39:48.699><c> to</c><00:39:49.280><c> heal</c><00:39:49.579><c> this</c><00:39:49.860><c> person</c><00:39:50.199><c> but</c><00:39:51.480><c> your</c><00:39:51.719><c> will</c><00:39:51.920><c> be</c><00:39:52.179><c> done.</c>

00:39:53.000 --> 00:39:59.119
In<00:39:53.179><c> other</c><00:39:53.400><c> words,</c><00:39:54.860><c> we</c><00:39:55.760><c> want</c><00:39:55.920><c> to</c><00:39:56.019><c> be</c><00:39:56.239><c> careful</c><00:39:56.480><c> we're</c><00:39:56.719><c> not</c><00:39:56.900><c> asking</c><00:39:57.219><c> something</c><00:39:57.579><c> against</c><00:39:58.000><c> your</c><00:39:58.320><c> will.</c>

00:40:00.099 --> 00:40:01.039
Now<00:40:00.260><c> is</c><00:40:00.340><c> that</c><00:40:00.619><c> fair?</c>

00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:05.139
Is<00:40:01.820><c> that</c><00:40:02.079><c> the</c><00:40:02.219><c> way</c><00:40:02.360><c> we</c><00:40:02.639><c> ought</c><00:40:02.900><c> to</c><00:40:03.039><c> pray</c><00:40:03.320><c> to</c><00:40:03.480><c> God</c><00:40:03.699><c> when</c><00:40:03.840><c> we</c><00:40:04.099><c> really</c><00:40:04.460><c> want</c><00:40:04.679><c> something?</c>

00:40:05.619 --> 00:40:08.000
Is<00:40:05.840><c> to</c><00:40:06.079><c> almost</c><00:40:06.500><c> express</c><00:40:07.039><c> that</c><00:40:07.420><c> hesitancy?</c>

00:40:08.059 --> 00:40:12.360
We're<00:40:08.219><c> not</c><00:40:08.579><c> sure</c><00:40:08.800><c> because</c><00:40:09.539><c> whatever</c><00:40:09.980><c> we</c><00:40:10.260><c> ask</c><00:40:10.460><c> might</c><00:40:10.780><c> be</c><00:40:11.739><c> opposite</c><00:40:12.079><c> to</c>

00:40:12.360 --> 00:40:13.360
your<00:40:12.599><c> will.</c>

00:40:14.000 --> 00:40:16.320
I<00:40:14.179><c> think</c><00:40:14.380><c> that</c><00:40:14.659><c> comes</c><00:40:15.039><c> from</c><00:40:15.239><c> Matthew</c><00:40:15.619><c> 26.</c>

00:40:16.760 --> 00:40:19.300
Does<00:40:16.960><c> Matthew</c><00:40:17.300><c> 26</c><00:40:17.900><c> support</c><00:40:18.300><c> that?</c>

00:40:19.880 --> 00:40:23.920
In<00:40:20.079><c> Matthew</c><00:40:20.360><c> 26</c><00:40:21.039><c> is</c><00:40:21.219><c> when</c><00:40:21.400><c> the</c><00:40:21.639><c> Lord</c><00:40:22.139><c> was</c><00:40:22.539><c> praying</c><00:40:23.079><c> earnestly</c>

00:40:23.920 --> 00:40:25.840
to<00:40:24.400><c> his</c><00:40:24.679><c> God</c>

00:40:26.639 --> 00:40:33.639
because<00:40:27.199><c> it</c><00:40:27.420><c> says</c><00:40:28.019><c> in</c><00:40:30.159><c> I</c><00:40:30.280><c> think</c><00:40:30.559><c> another</c><00:40:30.880><c> record</c><00:40:31.260><c> than</c><00:40:31.639><c> the</c><00:40:31.940><c> record</c><00:40:32.179><c> we're</c><00:40:32.360><c> looking</c><00:40:32.599><c> at</c><00:40:32.880><c> here</c>

00:40:33.739 --> 00:40:38.659
that<00:40:34.300><c> the</c><00:40:34.760><c> emotion</c><00:40:35.199><c> of</c><00:40:35.400><c> the</c><00:40:35.559><c> Lord</c><00:40:35.760><c> was</c><00:40:36.099><c> at</c><00:40:36.539><c> such</c><00:40:37.119><c> a</c><00:40:37.860><c> level</c><00:40:38.119><c> that</c>

00:40:38.659 --> 00:40:41.920
the<00:40:39.079><c> sweat</c><00:40:39.219><c> was</c><00:40:39.519><c> like</c><00:40:39.780><c> great</c><00:40:40.260><c> drops</c><00:40:40.559><c> of</c><00:40:40.840><c> blood.</c>

00:40:41.980 --> 00:40:43.219
He<00:40:42.179><c> says</c><00:40:42.420><c> in</c><00:40:42.619><c> verse</c><00:40:42.840><c> 38,</c>

00:40:43.320 --> 00:40:46.239
My<00:40:43.500><c> soul</c><00:40:43.780><c> is</c><00:40:44.079><c> exceeding,</c><00:40:44.920><c> sorrowful,</c><00:40:45.239><c> even</c><00:40:45.460><c> unto</c><00:40:45.760><c> death,</c>

00:40:46.619 --> 00:40:48.579
tarry<00:40:46.800><c> you</c><00:40:47.099><c> here</c><00:40:47.440><c> and</c><00:40:47.739><c> watch</c><00:40:48.039><c> with</c><00:40:48.280><c> me.</c>

00:40:48.679 --> 00:40:51.139
And<00:40:48.960><c> he</c><00:40:49.059><c> went</c><00:40:49.179><c> a</c><00:40:49.300><c> little</c><00:40:49.480><c> further</c><00:40:49.820><c> and</c><00:40:50.059><c> fell</c><00:40:50.260><c> on</c><00:40:50.440><c> his</c><00:40:50.659><c> face</c><00:40:50.860><c> and</c>

00:40:51.139 --> 00:40:51.659
prayed<00:40:51.360><c> saying,</c>

00:40:51.659 --> 00:40:57.139
O<00:40:51.900><c> my</c><00:40:52.199><c> Father,</c><00:40:53.860><c> if</c><00:40:54.099><c> it</c><00:40:54.219><c> be</c><00:40:54.440><c> possible,</c><00:40:55.260><c> let</c><00:40:55.519><c> this</c><00:40:55.840><c> cup</c><00:40:56.079><c> pass</c><00:40:56.460><c> from</c><00:40:56.800><c> me,</c>

00:40:57.260 --> 00:41:00.760
nevertheless<00:40:57.619><c> not</c><00:40:58.159><c> as</c><00:40:58.360><c> I</c><00:40:58.559><c> will,</c><00:40:59.380><c> but</c><00:40:59.539><c> as</c><00:40:59.739><c> thou</c><00:40:59.960><c> wilt.</c>

00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:04.440
Now<00:41:01.780><c> it's</c><00:41:01.920><c> pretty</c><00:41:02.179><c> difficult</c><00:41:02.599><c> to</c><00:41:02.800><c> use</c><00:41:02.940><c> that</c><00:41:03.179><c> as</c><00:41:03.360><c> an</c><00:41:03.559><c> example</c>

00:41:04.619 --> 00:41:08.039
because<00:41:04.920><c> Jesus</c><00:41:05.500><c> knew</c><00:41:06.239><c> the</c><00:41:06.860><c> Lord's</c><00:41:07.320><c> will.</c>

00:41:08.420 --> 00:41:10.079

00:42:48.719 --> 00:42:51.420
David<00:42:49.159><c> therefore</c><00:42:49.599><c> besought</c><00:42:50.400><c> God</c><00:42:50.739><c> for</c><00:42:50.940><c> the</c><00:42:51.139><c> child,</c>

the<00:42:55.119><c> earth.</c>

00:42:56.960 --> 00:42:59.460
This<00:42:57.400><c> behavior</c><00:42:57.840><c> of</c><00:42:58.039><c> David</c><00:42:58.340><c> we</c><00:42:58.519><c> would</c><00:42:58.699><c> say,</c><00:42:59.059><c> well</c><00:42:59.059><c> why</c><00:42:59.219><c> do</c><00:42:59.320><c> you</c>

00:43:03.119 --> 00:43:05.800
But<00:43:03.460><c> David</c><00:43:04.019><c> knew</c><00:43:04.800><c> God.</c>

00:43:06.119 --> 00:43:08.880

00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:14.380
accept<00:43:11.719><c> his</c><00:43:12.079><c> humble</c><00:43:12.559><c> repentant</c><00:43:13.360><c> spirit,</c>

00:43:14.500 --> 00:43:20.260
and<00:43:14.639><c> maybe</c><00:43:15.500><c> God</c><00:43:16.079><c> would</c><00:43:17.099><c> consider</c><00:43:17.840><c> giving</c><00:43:18.340><c> the</c><00:43:18.679><c> child</c><00:43:19.099><c> his</c><00:43:19.360><c> life.</c>

00:43:20.460 --> 00:43:22.320
But<00:43:20.619><c> we</c><00:43:20.760><c> know</c><00:43:20.940><c> that</c><00:43:21.159><c> didn't</c><00:43:21.440><c> turn</c><00:43:21.699><c> out</c><00:43:21.900><c> that</c><00:43:22.159><c> way.</c>

00:46:58.539 --> 00:47:01.719
It<00:46:58.619><c> seemed</c><00:46:58.820><c> to</c><00:46:58.960><c> me</c><00:46:59.280><c> that</c><00:46:59.599><c> Titus</c><00:46:59.900><c> chapter</c><00:47:00.340><c> 1</c><00:47:00.679><c> is</c><00:47:00.980><c> a</c><00:47:01.139><c> good</c><00:47:01.320><c> place</c>

to<00:47:02.079><c> start</c>

00:47:02.300 --> 00:47:07.260
because<00:47:02.760><c> this</c><00:47:03.739><c> was</c><00:47:04.059><c> a</c><00:47:04.420><c> characteristic</c><00:47:05.119><c> that</c><00:47:05.780><c> Paul</c><00:47:06.159><c> sorted</c><00:47:06.500><c> out</c><00:47:06.980><c> to</c>

00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:14.480
And<00:47:10.760><c> so</c><00:47:10.860><c> he</c><00:47:11.019><c> tells</c><00:47:11.340><c> Titus</c><00:47:12.599><c> that</c><00:47:13.099><c> with</c><00:47:13.280><c> respect</c><00:47:13.780><c> to</c><00:47:13.960><c> the</c><00:47:14.179><c> people</c>

00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:35.960
Why<00:47:33.599><c> did</c><00:47:34.199><c> he</c><00:47:34.280><c> choose</c><00:47:34.599><c> those</c><00:47:34.940><c> words?</c>

00:47:36.239 --> 00:47:40.139
For<00:47:36.840><c> a</c><00:47:37.280><c> brother</c><00:47:37.480><c> to</c><00:47:37.780><c> qualify</c><00:47:38.219><c> to</c><00:47:38.500><c> lead</c><00:47:38.719><c> the</c><00:47:38.980><c> Ecclesia,</c><00:47:39.719><c> you</c><00:47:39.880><c> look</c><00:47:40.059><c> at</c>

00:47:40.139 --> 00:47:41.300
his<00:47:40.400><c> family.</c>

00:47:41.380 --> 00:47:45.179
If<00:47:41.519><c> his</c><00:47:41.800><c> children</c><00:47:42.119><c> can</c><00:47:42.420><c> be</c><00:47:42.699><c> accused</c><00:47:43.019><c> of</c><00:47:43.440><c> riot</c><00:47:43.699><c> or</c><00:47:44.079><c> unruly,</c>

00:47:45.500 --> 00:47:48.300
then<00:47:45.579><c> he</c><00:47:45.639><c> doesn't</c><00:47:45.960><c> qualify</c><00:47:46.480><c> for</c><00:47:46.699><c> being</c><00:47:46.900><c> a</c><00:47:47.079><c> leader</c><00:47:47.400><c> in</c><00:47:47.659><c> the</c><00:47:47.860><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:47:48.300 --> 00:47:51.639
Now<00:47:48.800><c> what</c><00:47:48.900><c> does</c><00:47:49.280><c> riot</c><00:47:49.860><c> and</c><00:47:50.980><c> unruly</c><00:47:51.320><c> mean?</c>

00:47:51.760 --> 00:47:55.420
Well,<00:47:52.380><c> the</c><00:47:52.460><c> word</c><00:47:52.860><c> riot</c><00:47:53.480><c> means</c><00:47:54.019><c> extravagant.</c>

00:47:55.900 --> 00:47:59.440
Somebody<00:47:56.260><c> who</c><00:47:56.599><c> does</c><00:47:56.940><c> not</c><00:47:57.260><c> have</c><00:47:57.460><c> a</c><00:47:57.800><c> proper</c><00:47:58.159><c> appreciation</c><00:47:58.820><c> of</c><00:47:59.079><c> things,</c>

00:47:59.820 --> 00:48:02.559

00:48:06.059 --> 00:48:08.900
Obviously<00:48:06.539><c> if</c><00:48:06.719><c> a</c><00:48:06.940><c> person</c><00:48:07.139><c> does</c><00:48:07.460><c> not</c><00:48:07.719><c> know</c><00:48:08.099><c> how</c><00:48:08.340><c> to</c><00:48:08.539><c> rule</c><00:48:08.679><c> his</c>

own<00:48:09.159><c> family,</c>

00:48:10.300 --> 00:48:14.280
he's<00:48:10.539><c> not</c><00:48:10.780><c> going</c><00:48:10.920><c> to</c><00:48:11.019><c> be</c><00:48:11.219><c> the</c><00:48:12.860><c> kind</c><00:48:13.059><c> of</c><00:48:13.719><c> disciplined</c><00:48:13.719><c> person</c>

00:48:14.280 --> 00:48:18.280

00:48:19.659 --> 00:48:23.480
So<00:48:20.199><c> this</c><00:48:20.739><c> idea</c><00:48:21.159><c> of</c><00:48:21.599><c> extravagance</c><00:48:22.179><c> would</c><00:48:22.440><c> seem</c><00:48:22.639><c> to</c><00:48:22.820><c> me</c><00:48:22.920><c> to</c><00:48:23.119><c> be</c><00:48:23.260><c> a</c>

very,<00:48:23.820><c> very</c><00:48:24.280><c> important</c><00:48:24.639><c> one</c><00:48:24.960><c> in</c><00:48:25.239><c> our</c><00:48:25.539><c> day</c><00:48:25.719><c> and</c><00:48:25.820><c> age.</c>

00:48:26.699 --> 00:48:30.500
And<00:48:27.039><c> in</c><00:48:27.360><c> our</c><00:48:27.739><c> society,</c><00:48:28.579><c> certainly</c><00:48:28.840><c> in</c><00:48:29.000><c> our</c><00:48:29.219><c> day</c><00:48:29.380><c> and</c><00:48:29.480><c> age,</c><00:48:29.760><c> we'll</c><00:48:29.960><c> find</c><00:48:30.099><c> areas</c><00:48:30.340><c> of</c>

00:48:30.500 --> 00:48:31.179
the<00:48:30.639><c> world</c>

00:48:31.179 --> 00:48:34.099
where<00:48:31.519><c> they</c><00:48:31.659><c> would</c><00:48:31.880><c> give</c><00:48:32.099><c> thanks</c><00:48:32.400><c> to</c><00:48:32.619><c> God</c><00:48:32.840><c> for</c><00:48:33.079><c> much</c><00:48:33.380><c> less</c><00:48:33.719><c> than</c><00:48:33.880><c> we</c>

00:48:34.099 --> 00:48:35.619
ever<00:48:34.320><c> have</c><00:48:34.400><c> in</c><00:48:34.539><c> our</c><00:48:34.760><c> place.</c>

00:48:37.380 --> 00:48:41.519
But<00:48:37.639><c> I</c><00:48:37.820><c> wonder</c><00:48:38.219><c> whether</c><00:48:38.519><c> we</c><00:48:38.760><c> really</c><00:48:39.059><c> convey</c><00:48:39.500><c> that</c><00:48:39.860><c> to</c><00:48:40.039><c> our</c><00:48:40.340><c> children</c>

00:48:41.699 --> 00:48:45.280
when<00:48:42.239><c> we</c><00:48:42.500><c> take</c><00:48:42.739><c> back</c><00:48:43.139><c> to</c><00:48:43.320><c> the</c><00:48:43.599><c> counter</c><00:48:44.019><c> the</c><00:48:44.539><c> leftovers</c><00:48:45.000><c> that</c>

we<00:48:45.460><c> do.</c>

00:48:47.340 --> 00:48:51.460
How<00:48:47.820><c> can</c><00:48:48.059><c> you</c><00:48:48.280><c> really</c><00:48:48.860><c> teach</c><00:48:49.260><c> children</c><00:48:49.739><c> to</c><00:48:49.980><c> be</c><00:48:50.260><c> thankful</c><00:48:50.760><c> and</c>

00:48:51.460 --> 00:48:53.500
allow<00:48:51.739><c> them</c><00:48:51.900><c> to</c><00:48:52.039><c> be</c><00:48:52.260><c> extravagant?</c>

00:48:53.860 --> 00:48:55.340
I<00:48:53.980><c> don't</c><00:48:54.139><c> think</c><00:48:54.239><c> you</c><00:48:54.440><c> can.</c>

00:48:56.340 --> 00:48:58.780
There<00:48:56.400><c> was</c><00:48:56.539><c> an</c><00:48:56.679><c> old</c><00:48:56.920><c> saying</c><00:48:57.219><c> that</c><00:48:57.639><c> I</c><00:48:57.960><c> remember</c><00:48:58.239><c> when</c><00:48:58.400><c> I</c><00:48:58.619><c> was</c>

00:49:05.820 --> 00:49:07.760
