Good<00:00:38.240><c> morning.</c>

00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:44.479
When<00:00:41.320><c> we</c><00:00:41.820><c> were</c><00:00:42.259><c> talking</c><00:00:42.600><c> about</c><00:00:42.960><c> the</c><00:00:43.179><c> people</c><00:00:43.520><c> in</c><00:00:43.820><c> Ephesus</c><00:00:44.200><c> we</c>

00:00:47.079 --> 00:00:50.799

00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.299

00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.879
Because<00:01:10.260><c> we</c><00:01:10.379><c> know</c><00:01:10.560><c> what</c><00:01:10.760><c> the</c><00:01:11.280><c> balance</c><00:01:11.640><c> of</c><00:01:11.879><c> that</c><00:01:12.260><c> saying</c><00:01:12.480><c> is.</c>

00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:24.760

00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:29.019
And<00:01:25.400><c> so</c><00:01:25.659><c> what</c><00:01:26.000><c> we're</c><00:01:26.219><c> going</c><00:01:26.219><c> to</c><00:01:26.379><c> do</c><00:01:26.500><c> today</c><00:01:26.879><c> is</c><00:01:27.400><c> take</c><00:01:27.659><c> our</c><00:01:27.980><c> thoughts</c><00:01:28.219><c> from</c>

00:01:29.019 --> 00:01:31.840

00:01:32.379 --> 00:01:38.200
I'd<00:01:32.739><c> like</c><00:01:32.840><c> you</c><00:01:33.019><c> to</c><00:01:33.239><c> turn</c><00:01:33.480><c> to</c><00:01:34.840><c> that</c><00:01:35.260><c> epistles</c><00:01:35.900><c> chapter</c><00:01:36.680><c> 6</c><00:01:37.780><c> right</c>

00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:39.879
at<00:01:38.340><c> the</c><00:01:38.459><c> very</c><00:01:38.760><c> start.</c>

00:01:56.060 --> 00:02:00.359
Now<00:01:56.620><c> the</c><00:01:56.760><c> word</c><00:01:57.219><c> godliness</c><00:01:57.840><c> appears</c><00:01:58.379><c> through</c><00:01:59.060><c> these</c><00:01:59.459><c> two</c><00:01:59.739><c> epistles</c><00:02:00.120><c> that</c>

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.459
It<00:02:03.620><c> only</c><00:02:03.819><c> occurs</c><00:02:04.140><c> in</c><00:02:04.359><c> the</c><00:02:04.439><c> whole</c><00:02:04.599><c> of</c><00:02:04.760><c> the</c><00:02:04.760><c> New</c><00:02:04.939><c> Testament</c><00:02:05.219><c> on</c>

15<00:02:06.099><c> occasions.</c>

00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:10.639
So<00:02:07.180><c> we</c><00:02:07.340><c> can</c><00:02:07.579><c> see</c><00:02:07.799><c> then</c><00:02:08.080><c> that</c><00:02:08.259><c> this</c><00:02:08.539><c> is</c><00:02:08.759><c> a</c><00:02:08.960><c> topic</c><00:02:09.240><c> or</c><00:02:09.539><c> a</c><00:02:09.819><c> theme</c><00:02:10.120><c> or</c>

00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:12.960
a<00:02:10.939><c> doctrine</c><00:02:11.400><c> which</c><00:02:11.800><c> is</c><00:02:12.020><c> of</c><00:02:12.259><c> great</c><00:02:12.479><c> importance</c>

00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.280
as<00:02:13.199><c> far</c><00:02:13.319><c> as</c><00:02:13.460><c> the</c><00:02:13.620><c> apostle</c><00:02:13.900><c> Paul</c><00:02:14.219><c> is</c><00:02:14.460><c> concerned</c><00:02:14.919><c> with</c><00:02:15.539><c> the</c><00:02:15.840><c> brethren</c><00:02:16.060><c> and</c>

sisters<00:02:16.680><c> in</c><00:02:17.180><c> Ephesus.</c>

00:02:17.699 --> 00:02:21.620
And<00:02:18.300><c> in</c><00:02:18.539><c> particular</c><00:02:18.879><c> it</c><00:02:19.139><c> occurs</c><00:02:19.400><c> three</c><00:02:19.740><c> times</c><00:02:20.120><c> in</c><00:02:20.280><c> this</c><00:02:20.740><c> one</c><00:02:21.060><c> chapter.</c>

00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:26.060
So<00:02:22.520><c> if</c><00:02:22.680><c> we</c><00:02:22.780><c> just</c><00:02:22.979><c> look</c><00:02:23.180><c> quickly</c><00:02:23.500><c> into</c><00:02:23.719><c> the</c><00:02:23.939><c> chapter</c><00:02:24.340><c> we</c><00:02:25.060><c> can</c><00:02:25.319><c> see</c><00:02:25.680><c> it</c>

00:02:26.060 --> 00:02:27.400
occurs<00:02:26.379><c> there</c><00:02:26.659><c> in</c><00:02:26.860><c> verse</c><00:02:27.080><c> 3.</c>

00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:31.699
If<00:02:27.560><c> any</c><00:02:27.860><c> man</c><00:02:28.139><c> teach</c><00:02:28.500><c> otherwise</c><00:02:29.060><c> and</c><00:02:29.319><c> consent</c><00:02:29.639><c> not</c><00:02:29.960><c> to</c><00:02:30.120><c> the</c><00:02:30.300><c> wholesome</c><00:02:30.620><c> words</c><00:02:31.039><c> even</c><00:02:31.500><c> the</c>

00:02:35.780 --> 00:02:38.240
So<00:02:36.000><c> let's</c><00:02:36.560><c> be</c><00:02:36.800><c> quite</c><00:02:37.099><c> clear</c><00:02:37.340><c> about</c><00:02:37.580><c> this</c><00:02:37.819><c> then</c><00:02:37.960><c> right</c><00:02:38.099><c> at</c><00:02:38.240><c> the</c>

Godliness<00:02:39.680><c> is</c><00:02:40.099><c> a</c><00:02:40.240><c> doctrine.</c>

00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.139
It's<00:02:42.680><c> a</c><00:02:42.800><c> first</c><00:02:43.020><c> principle.</c>

00:02:44.419 --> 00:02:46.599
It<00:02:44.639><c> isn't</c><00:02:44.919><c> something</c><00:02:45.300><c> which</c><00:02:45.620><c> is</c><00:02:45.800><c> an</c><00:02:45.960><c> add</c><00:02:46.120><c>-on.</c>

00:02:48.020 --> 00:02:51.860
This<00:02:48.180><c> is</c><00:02:48.620><c> an</c><00:02:48.900><c> essential</c><00:02:49.419><c> aspect</c><00:02:50.080><c> of</c><00:02:50.539><c> our</c><00:02:50.860><c> discipleship.</c>

00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:53.520
And<00:02:52.199><c> then</c><00:02:52.340><c> we</c><00:02:52.419><c> get</c><00:02:52.599><c> down</c><00:02:52.819><c> to</c><00:02:53.000><c> verse</c><00:02:53.180><c> 6.</c>

00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:56.780
Godliness<00:02:54.060><c> with</c><00:02:54.400><c> contentment</c><00:02:55.120><c> is</c><00:02:55.520><c> great</c><00:02:55.780><c> gain.</c>

00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.139
And<00:02:57.780><c> the</c><00:02:57.960><c> context</c><00:02:58.340><c> there</c><00:02:58.719><c> is</c><00:02:59.120><c> for</c><00:02:59.319><c> we</c><00:02:59.500><c> brought</c><00:02:59.680><c> nothing</c><00:02:59.900><c> into</c>

00:03:00.139 --> 00:03:02.300
the<00:03:00.379><c> world</c><00:03:00.659><c> and</c><00:03:01.000><c> we</c><00:03:01.139><c> can</c><00:03:01.360><c> carry</c><00:03:01.560><c> nothing</c><00:03:01.800><c> out.</c>

00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:07.159
So<00:03:02.819><c> now</c><00:03:03.280><c> it's</c><00:03:03.860><c> being</c><00:03:04.120><c> linked</c><00:03:04.419><c> to</c><00:03:04.900><c> our</c><00:03:05.580><c> way</c><00:03:05.919><c> of</c><00:03:06.259><c> life.</c>

00:03:07.620 --> 00:03:12.460
So<00:03:07.819><c> it's</c><00:03:08.060><c> a</c><00:03:08.240><c> doctrine</c><00:03:08.680><c> and</c><00:03:09.500><c> it's</c><00:03:09.879><c> also</c><00:03:10.340><c> a</c><00:03:10.520><c> very</c><00:03:11.039><c> practical</c><00:03:11.500><c> issue.</c>

00:03:12.960 --> 00:03:16.460
And<00:03:13.340><c> so</c><00:03:13.599><c> when</c><00:03:13.759><c> we</c><00:03:13.900><c> come</c><00:03:14.060><c> to</c><00:03:14.180><c> verse</c><00:03:14.400><c> 11</c><00:03:14.939><c> the</c><00:03:15.620><c> apostle</c><00:03:15.979><c> Paul</c><00:03:16.240><c> says</c>

00:03:16.460 --> 00:03:17.039
to<00:03:16.659><c> Timothy</c>

00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:21.199
but<00:03:17.319><c> thou</c><00:03:17.740><c> O</c><00:03:18.080><c> man</c><00:03:18.259><c> of</c><00:03:18.500><c> God</c><00:03:18.979><c> flee</c><00:03:19.520><c> these</c><00:03:20.000><c> things</c><00:03:20.419><c> and</c><00:03:20.939><c> follow</c>

00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.039
after<00:03:21.860><c> righteousness</c><00:03:22.460><c> then</c><00:03:23.340><c> godliness.</c>

00:03:24.099 --> 00:03:26.659
Faith<00:03:24.520><c> loves</c><00:03:24.879><c> patience</c><00:03:25.400><c> meatness.</c>

00:03:26.740 --> 00:03:29.120
So<00:03:27.020><c> godliness</c><00:03:27.479><c> is</c><00:03:27.719><c> an</c><00:03:27.979><c> essential</c><00:03:28.520><c> attribute.</c>

00:03:29.139 --> 00:03:32.319
It's<00:03:29.360><c> one</c><00:03:29.520><c> of</c><00:03:29.699><c> the</c><00:03:30.159><c> fruits</c><00:03:30.500><c> here</c><00:03:30.939><c> of</c><00:03:31.360><c> our</c><00:03:31.699><c> discipleship.</c>

00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:33.340
So<00:03:32.560><c> it's</c><00:03:32.819><c> a</c><00:03:32.979><c> doctrine.</c>

00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:36.180
It's<00:03:33.860><c> part</c><00:03:34.139><c> of</c><00:03:34.479><c> our</c><00:03:35.219><c> everyday</c><00:03:35.680><c> life.</c>

00:03:36.180 --> 00:03:40.939
And<00:03:36.460><c> it</c><00:03:36.580><c> is</c><00:03:36.900><c> also</c><00:03:38.099><c> going</c><00:03:38.680><c> to</c><00:03:38.840><c> be</c><00:03:39.060><c> witnessed</c><00:03:39.439><c> and</c><00:03:39.939><c> seen</c><00:03:40.340><c> in</c><00:03:40.840><c> the</c>

00:03:40.939 --> 00:03:43.599
way<00:03:41.300><c> in</c><00:03:41.659><c> which</c><00:03:41.840><c> we</c><00:03:42.099><c> endeavour</c><00:03:42.439><c> to</c><00:03:42.699><c> live.</c>

00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:51.900
Now<00:03:44.259><c> we</c><00:03:45.340><c> noticed</c><00:03:45.939><c> didn't</c><00:03:46.319><c> we</c><00:03:46.539><c> that</c><00:03:48.360><c> the</c><00:03:48.659><c> word</c><00:03:48.900><c> doctrine</c><00:03:49.319><c> occurred</c><00:03:50.000><c> on</c><00:03:51.780><c> a</c>

00:03:51.900 --> 00:03:53.479
great<00:03:52.000><c> number</c><00:03:52.240><c> of</c><00:03:52.479><c> occasions.</c>

00:03:55.500 --> 00:03:59.099
And<00:03:55.639><c> so</c><00:03:56.219><c> here</c><00:03:56.860><c> in</c><00:03:57.680><c> Paul's</c><00:03:58.060><c> epistles</c><00:03:58.340><c> to</c><00:03:58.560><c> Timothy</c>

00:03:59.099 --> 00:04:02.479
what<00:03:59.939><c> I've</c><00:04:00.099><c> put</c><00:04:00.219><c> on</c><00:04:00.400><c> the</c><00:04:00.599><c> screen</c><00:04:00.780><c> now</c><00:04:01.120><c> is</c><00:04:01.759><c> the</c><00:04:02.120><c> balance,</c>

00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:07.479
the<00:04:03.120><c> two</c><00:04:03.520><c> sides</c><00:04:03.919><c> of</c><00:04:04.139><c> the</c><00:04:04.439><c> scale</c><00:04:04.939><c> that</c><00:04:05.520><c> Timothy</c><00:04:05.840><c> has</c><00:04:06.219><c> presented.</c>

00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.479
Doctrine<00:04:08.860><c> and</c><00:04:09.280><c> godliness</c><00:04:09.860><c> are</c><00:04:10.280><c> the</c><00:04:10.520><c> two</c><00:04:11.000><c> essential</c><00:04:11.800><c> aspects</c>

00:04:12.479 --> 00:04:14.039
of<00:04:13.120><c> discipleship.</c>

00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:19.220
And<00:04:14.879><c> that</c><00:04:14.979><c> can</c><00:04:15.180><c> be</c><00:04:15.400><c> translated</c><00:04:15.919><c> into</c><00:04:16.620><c> belief</c><00:04:17.300><c> and</c><00:04:18.240><c> behaviour.</c>

00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.959
Those<00:04:19.560><c> are</c><00:04:19.740><c> the</c><00:04:19.860><c> two</c><00:04:20.060><c> things</c><00:04:20.379><c> that</c><00:04:20.600><c> the</c><00:04:20.699><c> apostle</c><00:04:21.000><c> Paul</c><00:04:21.480><c> is</c>

00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:22.779
concerned<00:04:22.360><c> about</c>

00:04:22.779 --> 00:04:27.519
with<00:04:23.120><c> the</c><00:04:23.279><c> brethren</c><00:04:23.459><c> and</c><00:04:23.720><c> sisters</c><00:04:24.259><c> here</c><00:04:25.139><c> in</c><00:04:25.639><c> the</c><00:04:25.800><c> Ecclesia</c><00:04:26.279><c> in</c><00:04:27.019><c> Ephesus.</c>

00:04:27.519 --> 00:04:32.560
And<00:04:27.860><c> of</c><00:04:28.240><c> course</c><00:04:28.699><c> he</c><00:04:29.800><c> made</c><00:04:29.980><c> it</c><00:04:30.199><c> quite</c><00:04:30.439><c> clear</c><00:04:30.779><c> to</c><00:04:31.480><c> Timothy</c><00:04:31.939><c> when</c>

00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.019
he<00:04:32.839><c> talked</c><00:04:33.040><c> about</c><00:04:33.300><c> the</c><00:04:33.480><c> house</c><00:04:33.720><c> of</c><00:04:33.959><c> God.</c>

00:04:37.259 --> 00:04:41.500
Because<00:04:37.259><c> where</c><00:04:37.819><c> is</c><00:04:38.019><c> the</c><00:04:38.220><c> example</c><00:04:38.759><c> and</c><00:04:38.899><c> what</c><00:04:39.079><c> is</c><00:04:39.360><c> to</c><00:04:39.500><c> be</c><00:04:39.740><c> the</c><00:04:40.199><c> pattern</c><00:04:40.899><c> on</c>

00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:44.680
which<00:04:41.800><c> this</c><00:04:42.459><c> teaching</c><00:04:42.959><c> and</c><00:04:43.459><c> behaviour</c><00:04:43.899><c> is</c><00:04:44.120><c> to</c><00:04:44.240><c> be</c><00:04:44.439><c> based?</c>

00:04:44.939 --> 00:04:47.120
Well<00:04:45.079><c> it's</c><00:04:45.279><c> none</c><00:04:45.420><c> other</c><00:04:45.699><c> than</c><00:04:45.899><c> of</c><00:04:46.000><c> course</c><00:04:46.279><c> the</c><00:04:46.579><c> life</c><00:04:46.839><c> of</c><00:04:47.040><c> the</c>

Lord<00:04:47.399><c> Jesus</c><00:04:47.800><c> Christ.</c>

00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:51.540
And<00:04:48.879><c> so</c><00:04:48.980><c> we'll</c><00:04:49.199><c> look</c><00:04:49.420><c> at</c><00:04:50.019><c> those</c><00:04:50.540><c> things</c><00:04:50.860><c> which</c><00:04:51.079><c> the</c><00:04:51.259><c> apostle</c>

00:04:51.540 --> 00:04:53.860
Paul<00:04:51.839><c> is</c><00:04:52.100><c> perhaps</c><00:04:52.800><c> alluding</c><00:04:53.420><c> to</c>

00:04:53.860 --> 00:04:56.620
as<00:04:54.319><c> we</c><00:04:54.500><c> go</c><00:04:54.699><c> through</c><00:04:55.199><c> this</c><00:04:55.560><c> particular</c><00:04:56.100><c> chapter.</c>

00:04:56.620 --> 00:04:59.959
Now<00:04:57.060><c> when</c><00:04:57.199><c> you</c><00:04:57.319><c> look</c><00:04:57.519><c> at</c><00:04:57.639><c> this</c><00:04:57.839><c> chapter</c><00:04:58.259><c> it's</c><00:04:58.720><c> quite</c><00:04:59.180><c> striking</c>

00:04:59.959 --> 00:05:02.980
in<00:05:00.459><c> the</c><00:05:00.720><c> contrast</c><00:05:01.279><c> which</c><00:05:01.740><c> it</c><00:05:02.000><c> draws.</c>

00:05:03.220 --> 00:05:07.160
You<00:05:03.319><c> see</c><00:05:03.879><c> verse</c><00:05:04.540><c> 11</c><00:05:04.860><c> we</c><00:05:05.079><c> read,</c><00:05:06.060><c> flee</c><00:05:06.120><c> these</c><00:05:06.620><c> things.</c>

00:05:07.439 --> 00:05:10.480
But<00:05:07.579><c> then</c><00:05:07.779><c> it</c><00:05:07.920><c> follows</c><00:05:08.180><c> in</c><00:05:08.399><c> verse</c><00:05:08.579><c> 12</c><00:05:08.860><c> by</c><00:05:09.180><c> fight</c><00:05:09.639><c> the</c><00:05:09.740><c> good</c><00:05:10.100><c> fight.</c>

00:05:10.699 --> 00:05:12.819
So<00:05:10.899><c> in</c><00:05:11.120><c> some</c><00:05:11.319><c> instances</c><00:05:11.639><c> we're</c><00:05:11.899><c> going</c><00:05:11.939><c> to</c><00:05:12.019><c> be</c><00:05:12.199><c> running</c><00:05:12.439><c> away</c>

00:05:12.819 --> 00:05:14.579
from<00:05:13.019><c> one</c><00:05:13.579><c> aspect</c><00:05:14.040><c> of</c><00:05:14.279><c> life.</c>

00:05:14.819 --> 00:05:17.480
In<00:05:15.019><c> another</c><00:05:15.259><c> instance</c><00:05:15.620><c> we're</c><00:05:15.920><c> actually</c><00:05:16.120><c> going</c><00:05:16.240><c> to</c><00:05:16.360><c> be</c><00:05:16.540><c> confronting</c><00:05:17.060><c> life</c>

00:05:17.480 --> 00:05:19.579
and<00:05:17.899><c> standing</c><00:05:18.199><c> up</c><00:05:18.480><c> to</c><00:05:18.639><c> it.</c>

00:05:20.300 --> 00:05:23.899
So<00:05:20.720><c> there</c><00:05:21.000><c> are</c><00:05:21.199><c> these</c><00:05:21.639><c> contrasts</c><00:05:22.420><c> being</c><00:05:22.680><c> brought</c><00:05:22.939><c> out</c><00:05:23.279><c> here.</c>

00:05:23.899 --> 00:05:27.980
He<00:05:25.040><c> talks</c><00:05:25.379><c> about</c><00:05:25.959><c> having</c><00:05:26.439><c> great</c><00:05:26.959><c> riches.</c>

00:05:28.220 --> 00:05:30.699
And<00:05:28.319><c> then</c><00:05:28.439><c> he</c><00:05:28.519><c> talks</c><00:05:28.759><c> about</c><00:05:29.180><c> possessing</c><00:05:29.819><c> nothing.</c>

00:05:31.379 --> 00:05:34.220

00:06:28.819 --> 00:06:31.420
That's<00:06:29.079><c> why</c><00:06:29.199><c> they</c><00:06:29.480><c> change</c><00:06:29.680><c> the</c><00:06:29.920><c> colours</c><00:06:30.220><c> every</c><00:06:30.740><c> year</c><00:06:30.959><c> ladies.</c>

00:10:29.539 --> 00:10:33.240

That's<00:10:35.059><c> where</c><00:10:35.519><c> we're</c><00:10:36.100><c> directed.</c><00:10:36.659><c> It's</c><00:10:36.860><c> the</c><00:10:37.100><c> doctrine.</c>

00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:42.179
The<00:10:39.200><c> doctrine</c><00:10:39.559><c> which</c><00:10:39.840><c> is</c><00:10:40.139><c> according</c><00:10:40.779><c> to</c><00:10:41.139><c> godliness.</c>

00:10:42.519 --> 00:10:45.580
That's<00:10:43.080><c> what</c><00:10:43.220><c> we've</c><00:10:43.500><c> got</c><00:10:43.620><c> to</c><00:10:44.139><c> actually</c><00:10:44.580><c> establish</c><00:10:45.139><c> in</c><00:10:45.399><c> our</c>

00:10:45.580 --> 00:10:46.980
hearts<00:10:45.779><c> and</c><00:10:46.059><c> minds.</c>

00:10:48.580 --> 00:10:50.840
So<00:10:48.779><c> what</c><00:10:48.879><c> does</c><00:10:49.039><c> the</c><00:10:49.179><c> word</c><00:10:49.340><c> godliness</c><00:10:49.860><c> mean?</c>

00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:54.379
What<00:10:51.639><c> is</c><00:10:51.860><c> it</c><00:10:52.000><c> that</c><00:10:52.200><c> we're</c><00:10:52.580><c> to</c><00:10:52.779><c> build</c><00:10:53.059><c> a</c><00:10:53.399><c> barrier</c><00:10:53.860><c> that</c><00:10:54.179><c> we</c>

00:10:54.379 --> 00:10:55.779
might<00:10:54.600><c> protect?</c>

00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:03.340
Well<00:10:59.820><c> this</c><00:11:00.299><c> word</c><00:11:00.539><c> which</c><00:11:00.799><c> occurs</c><00:11:01.259><c> a</c><00:11:01.980><c> number</c><00:11:02.200><c> of</c><00:11:02.480><c> occasions</c><00:11:02.860><c> 15</c>

00:11:03.340 --> 00:11:07.720
times<00:11:03.840><c> in</c><00:11:04.539><c> the</c><00:11:04.620><c> New</c><00:11:04.799><c> Testament</c><00:11:05.100><c> and</c><00:11:05.419><c> 9</c><00:11:05.700><c> times</c><00:11:06.159><c> in</c><00:11:06.379><c> the</c><00:11:06.799><c> epistles</c><00:11:07.240><c> which</c>

00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:08.980
Paul<00:11:07.980><c> has</c><00:11:08.200><c> written.</c>

00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.879
The<00:11:09.860><c> word</c><00:11:10.139><c> godliness</c><00:11:10.580><c> is</c><00:11:11.139><c> Eusebius</c><00:11:12.039><c> which</c><00:11:12.340><c> is</c><00:11:13.279><c> two</c><00:11:13.580><c> words</c>

00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:16.360
really<00:11:14.279><c> right</c><00:11:15.080><c> worship.</c>

00:11:16.980 --> 00:11:21.820
So<00:11:17.159><c> our</c><00:11:17.419><c> lives</c><00:11:17.879><c> are</c><00:11:18.200><c> really</c><00:11:19.080><c> a</c><00:11:19.600><c> worshipping</c><00:11:20.220><c> of</c><00:11:20.799><c> God.</c>

00:11:21.940 --> 00:11:23.720
The<00:11:22.179><c> whole</c><00:11:22.399><c> of</c><00:11:22.600><c> our</c><00:11:22.759><c> life.</c>

00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:25.340
Every<00:11:24.039><c> aspect</c><00:11:24.480><c> of</c><00:11:24.679><c> our</c><00:11:24.840><c> life.</c>

00:11:25.340 --> 00:11:29.700
Not<00:11:25.940><c> just</c><00:11:26.200><c> when</c><00:11:26.360><c> we</c><00:11:26.860><c> come</c><00:11:27.259><c> into</c><00:11:27.480><c> the</c><00:11:27.740><c> Ecclesia</c><00:11:28.120><c> on</c><00:11:28.360><c> a</c><00:11:28.539><c> Sunday</c><00:11:28.860><c> or</c><00:11:29.320><c> on</c><00:11:29.580><c> a</c>

00:11:29.700 --> 00:11:33.580
weeknight<00:11:30.240><c> or</c><00:11:30.879><c> on</c><00:11:31.080><c> a</c><00:11:31.279><c> study</c><00:11:31.480><c> day</c><00:11:31.639><c> or</c><00:11:31.799><c> when</c><00:11:31.879><c> we</c><00:11:32.080><c> come</c><00:11:32.179><c> to</c><00:11:32.279><c> Bible</c><00:11:32.659><c> school.</c>

00:11:33.620 --> 00:11:37.419
But<00:11:33.799><c> we</c><00:11:34.039><c> are</c><00:11:34.379><c> trying</c><00:11:34.620><c> to</c><00:11:34.919><c> live</c><00:11:35.059><c> a</c><00:11:35.279><c> life</c><00:11:35.539><c> which</c><00:11:35.779><c> is</c><00:11:36.120><c> totally</c><00:11:36.720><c> a</c>

00:11:37.419 --> 00:11:39.179
way<00:11:37.779><c> of</c><00:11:38.100><c> worship.</c>

00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:40.460
So<00:11:39.659><c> everything</c><00:11:39.980><c> we</c><00:11:40.240><c> do.</c>

00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:42.600
That's<00:11:40.820><c> why</c><00:11:40.980><c> the</c><00:11:41.100><c> apostle</c><00:11:41.360><c> Paul</c><00:11:41.620><c> is</c><00:11:41.799><c> saying</c><00:11:42.000><c> you've</c><00:11:42.379><c> really</c>

00:11:42.600 --> 00:11:44.679
got<00:11:42.740><c> to</c><00:11:42.860><c> get</c><00:11:42.960><c> the</c><00:11:43.200><c> grips</c><00:11:43.360><c> with</c><00:11:43.580><c> this</c><00:11:43.960><c> material</c><00:11:44.259><c> ordinary</c>

00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:45.519
everyday<00:11:45.080><c> life.</c>

00:11:45.820 --> 00:11:51.000
Because<00:11:46.240><c> your</c><00:11:46.500><c> actions</c><00:11:46.860><c> and</c><00:11:47.100><c> your</c><00:11:47.360><c> thoughts</c><00:11:47.559><c> when</c><00:11:47.740><c> you're</c><00:11:47.960><c> doing</c><00:11:48.179><c> these</c><00:11:48.500><c> things</c><00:11:48.740><c> are</c><00:11:49.159><c> still</c><00:11:49.919><c> something</c><00:11:50.299><c> which</c><00:11:50.559><c> is</c>

00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:52.080
a<00:11:51.139><c> worship</c><00:11:51.440><c> of</c><00:11:51.759><c> God.</c>

00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.500
Do<00:11:52.500><c> all</c><00:11:52.879><c> things</c><00:11:53.379><c> as</c><00:11:53.720><c> unto</c><00:11:53.879><c> the</c><00:11:54.139><c> Lord.</c>

00:11:54.980 --> 00:11:57.419
Now<00:11:55.379><c> how</c><00:11:55.779><c> do</c><00:11:55.919><c> you</c><00:11:56.000><c> apply</c><00:11:56.360><c> that</c><00:11:56.559><c> then</c><00:11:56.740><c> when</c><00:11:56.840><c> you're</c><00:11:56.980><c> going</c><00:11:57.080><c> around</c><00:11:57.279><c> with</c>

your<00:12:00.379><c> desk.</c>

00:12:01.779 --> 00:12:04.399
You<00:12:01.860><c> know</c><00:12:01.960><c> or</c><00:12:02.139><c> when</c><00:12:02.220><c> you're</c><00:12:02.379><c> out</c><00:12:02.580><c> shopping</c><00:12:02.820><c> for</c><00:12:03.100><c> new</c><00:12:03.360><c> clothes.</c>

00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:06.860
You<00:12:04.639><c> know</c><00:12:04.779><c> do</c><00:12:05.159><c> you</c><00:12:05.320><c> actually</c><00:12:05.519><c> put</c><00:12:05.720><c> that</c><00:12:05.980><c> phrase</c><00:12:06.179><c> to</c><00:12:06.379><c> one</c><00:12:06.659><c> side</c>

00:12:06.860 --> 00:12:08.759
and<00:12:07.059><c> say</c><00:12:07.259><c> do</c><00:12:07.600><c> all</c><00:12:07.779><c> things</c><00:12:07.980><c> as</c><00:12:08.159><c> unto</c><00:12:08.399><c> the</c><00:12:08.600><c> Lord.</c>

00:12:08.759 --> 00:12:10.200
Doesn't<00:12:09.000><c> actually</c><00:12:09.259><c> apply</c><00:12:09.559><c> it</c><00:12:09.720><c> this</c><00:12:09.940><c> bit.</c>

00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.720
This<00:12:10.519><c> is</c><00:12:10.700><c> me</c><00:12:10.899><c> doing</c><00:12:11.080><c> all</c><00:12:11.320><c> things</c><00:12:11.460><c> unto</c><00:12:11.700><c> me.</c>

00:12:12.860 --> 00:12:16.159

00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:18.279
when<00:12:16.460><c> I'm</c><00:12:16.659><c> doing</c><00:12:16.860><c> these</c><00:12:17.200><c> things.</c>

00:12:19.179 --> 00:12:20.399
Well<00:12:19.320><c> it's</c><00:12:19.419><c> not</c><00:12:19.600><c> true</c><00:12:19.799><c> is</c><00:12:19.940><c> it</c><00:12:20.059><c> my</c><00:12:20.159><c> ancestors.</c>

00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.179

00:12:23.179 --> 00:12:30.139
So<00:12:24.019><c> everything</c><00:12:24.379><c> we</c><00:12:24.600><c> do</c><00:12:25.100><c> every</c><00:12:25.500><c> attitude</c><00:12:26.159><c> we</c><00:12:26.600><c> have</c><00:12:27.019><c> every</c><00:12:27.539><c> activity</c><00:12:28.139><c> we</c><00:12:28.519><c> engage</c><00:12:29.019><c> in</c><00:12:29.360><c> is</c><00:12:29.820><c> a</c>

00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:59.619
He<00:21:56.480><c> took</c><00:21:56.940><c> the</c><00:21:57.619><c> things</c><00:21:58.000><c> which</c><00:21:58.220><c> were</c><00:21:58.420><c> meant</c><00:21:58.579><c> to</c><00:21:58.720><c> be</c><00:21:58.960><c> gods</c>

00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:08.200
So<00:22:04.839><c> he</c><00:22:04.900><c> had</c><00:22:05.039><c> his</c><00:22:05.319><c> Babylonian</c><00:22:05.900><c> garment</c><00:22:06.279><c> and</c><00:22:06.460><c> he</c><00:22:06.579><c> had</c><00:22:06.720><c> all</c><00:22:06.960><c> his</c><00:22:07.119><c> money.</c>

00:22:08.220 --> 00:22:10.440

00:22:13.940 --> 00:22:16.299
It<00:22:14.039><c> was</c><00:22:14.180><c> quite</c><00:22:14.339><c> obvious,</c><00:22:14.859><c> you</c><00:22:15.039><c> know,</c><00:22:15.220><c> he</c><00:22:15.579><c> got</c><00:22:15.900><c> something</c>

00:22:16.299 --> 00:22:18.880

They<00:22:25.200><c> knew</c><00:22:25.380><c> it</c><00:22:25.579><c> was</c><00:22:25.720><c> under</c><00:22:25.940><c> the</c><00:22:26.220><c> floor</c><00:22:26.380><c> in</c><00:22:26.599><c> the</c><00:22:26.759><c> tent</c>

before<00:24:45.099><c> it</c><00:24:45.220><c> went</c><00:24:45.359><c> out</c><00:24:45.599><c> of</c><00:24:45.819><c> sight</c>

00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:49.180
so<00:24:47.180><c> we</c><00:24:47.400><c> could</c><00:24:47.640><c> get</c><00:24:47.960><c> what</c><00:24:48.160><c> was</c><00:24:48.420><c> being</c><00:24:48.700><c> given</c>

00:24:49.180 --> 00:24:51.980
because<00:24:49.700><c> we</c><00:24:50.000><c> felt</c><00:24:50.220><c> it</c><00:24:50.380><c> was</c><00:24:50.579><c> our</c><00:24:50.900><c> right?</c>

00:24:53.000 --> 00:24:55.099
And<00:24:53.220><c> every</c><00:24:53.339><c> time</c><00:24:53.519><c> we</c><00:24:53.759><c> do</c><00:24:54.059><c> that,</c>

00:24:55.099 --> 00:24:59.119
the<00:24:55.900><c> heart</c><00:24:56.059><c> of</c><00:24:56.259><c> our</c><00:24:56.440><c> Lord</c><00:24:56.599><c> goes</c><00:24:56.920><c> out</c><00:24:57.619><c> as</c><00:24:58.279><c> we</c><00:24:58.420><c> do</c><00:24:58.619><c> it.</c>

00:24:59.119 --> 00:25:04.180
And<00:25:00.440><c> so,</c><00:25:01.259><c> back</c><00:25:01.460><c> here</c><00:25:01.779><c> in</c><00:25:02.539><c> the</c><00:25:02.700><c> New</c><00:25:02.900><c> Testament,</c>

00:25:05.180 --> 00:25:07.059
Paul<00:25:05.460><c> is</c><00:25:05.940><c> warning</c><00:25:06.460><c> Timothy</c>

00:25:07.059 --> 00:25:09.279
and<00:25:07.380><c> warning</c><00:25:07.779><c> the</c><00:25:08.000><c> brethren</c><00:25:08.220><c> and</c><00:25:08.420><c> sisters.</c>

00:25:09.400 --> 00:25:11.220
And<00:25:09.579><c> you</c><00:25:09.680><c> know</c><00:25:09.900><c> why</c><00:25:10.440><c> he's</c><00:25:10.799><c> warning</c><00:25:11.059><c> them</c>

00:25:11.220 --> 00:25:13.579
and<00:25:11.359><c> you</c><00:25:11.420><c> know</c><00:25:11.619><c> why</c><00:25:11.980><c> he</c><00:25:12.339><c> is</c><00:25:12.740><c> picking</c><00:25:13.079><c> on</c>

00:25:13.579 --> 00:25:17.279
this<00:25:13.980><c> particular</c><00:25:14.740><c> aspect</c><00:25:15.380><c> of</c><00:25:15.660><c> life,</c><00:25:16.079><c> don't</c><00:25:16.259><c> you?</c>

00:25:18.259 --> 00:25:21.220
Mortify<00:25:18.880><c> therefore</c><00:25:19.279><c> your</c><00:25:19.559><c> members</c><00:25:19.960><c> which</c><00:25:20.220><c> are</c><00:25:20.460><c> upon</c><00:25:20.720><c> the</c><00:25:21.019><c> earth,</c>

00:25:21.380 --> 00:25:23.740
fornication,<00:25:22.259><c> uncleanness,</c><00:25:22.940><c> inordinate</c><00:25:23.279><c> affection,</c>

00:25:24.059 --> 00:25:27.559
evil<00:25:24.380><c> concupiscence</c><00:25:25.660><c> and</c><00:25:26.380><c> covetousness</c>

00:25:27.559 --> 00:25:31.059
which<00:25:28.559><c> is</c><00:25:29.519><c> idolatry.</c>

00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:33.099
That's<00:25:31.319><c> what</c><00:25:31.500><c> Paul</c><00:25:31.680><c> wrote</c><00:25:31.900><c> to</c><00:25:32.099><c> the</c><00:25:32.279><c> Colossians.</c>

00:25:33.740 --> 00:25:35.480
Covetousness<00:25:34.380><c> is</c><00:25:34.759><c> idolatry.</c>

00:25:35.660 --> 00:25:38.579
We've<00:25:35.819><c> got</c><00:25:35.980><c> enough</c><00:25:36.279><c> idolatry</c><00:25:36.859><c> in</c><00:25:37.039><c> Ephesus,</c><00:25:37.859><c> brethren</c><00:25:37.980><c> and</c><00:25:38.240><c> sisters.</c>

00:25:38.940 --> 00:25:40.680
We've<00:25:39.079><c> got</c><00:25:39.160><c> this</c><00:25:39.480><c> enormous</c><00:25:40.059><c> temple</c>

00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:42.819
with<00:25:41.259><c> an</c><00:25:41.980><c> idol</c><00:25:42.240><c> in</c><00:25:42.440><c> it</c>

00:25:42.819 --> 00:25:46.460
that<00:25:43.039><c> is</c><00:25:43.220><c> meant</c><00:25:43.519><c> to</c><00:25:43.799><c> have</c><00:25:43.940><c> fallen</c><00:25:44.180><c> down</c><00:25:44.720><c> out</c><00:25:45.039><c> of</c><00:25:45.359><c> space.</c>

00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:49.599
This<00:25:48.119><c> lump</c><00:25:48.380><c> of</c><00:25:48.680><c> meteorite</c>

00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:53.839
that<00:25:49.839><c> has</c><00:25:50.019><c> been</c><00:25:50.539><c> carved</c><00:25:50.940><c> into</c><00:25:51.640><c> some</c><00:25:52.119><c> awful</c><00:25:52.819><c> pagan</c><00:25:53.380><c> deity.</c>

00:25:54.180 --> 00:25:57.039
We've<00:25:54.460><c> got</c><00:25:54.640><c> enough</c><00:25:55.099><c> idolatry</c><00:25:56.019><c> in</c><00:25:56.279><c> Ephesus,</c>

00:25:57.039 --> 00:25:58.079
Paul<00:25:57.480><c> is</c><00:25:57.720><c> saying.</c>

00:25:58.579 --> 00:26:00.400
So<00:25:58.599><c> what</c><00:25:58.839><c> you</c><00:25:59.059><c> have</c><00:25:59.240><c> to</c><00:25:59.420><c> do</c><00:25:59.519><c> is</c><00:25:59.660><c> you</c><00:25:59.700><c> have</c><00:25:59.880><c> to</c><00:26:00.039><c> make</c><00:26:00.200><c> sure</c>

00:26:00.400 --> 00:26:02.460
that<00:26:00.740><c> your</c><00:26:01.119><c> way</c><00:26:01.420><c> of</c><00:26:01.839><c> life</c>

00:26:02.460 --> 00:26:05.660
reflects<00:26:03.420><c> right</c><00:26:04.180><c> worship</c><00:26:04.779><c> in</c><00:26:05.180><c> everything.</c>

00:26:05.920 --> 00:26:07.480
And<00:26:06.019><c> it</c><00:26:06.220><c> isn't</c><00:26:06.420><c> just</c><00:26:06.759><c> in</c><00:26:06.920><c> what</c><00:26:07.160><c> you</c><00:26:07.359><c> do</c>

00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:08.680
when<00:26:07.640><c> you</c><00:26:07.819><c> come</c><00:26:07.960><c> to</c><00:26:08.119><c> the</c><00:26:08.319><c> meeting,</c>

00:26:09.019 --> 00:26:11.900
but<00:26:09.180><c> it's</c><00:26:09.640><c> ingrained</c><00:26:10.079><c> in</c><00:26:10.440><c> every</c><00:26:10.819><c> single</c><00:26:11.299><c> aspect</c>

00:26:11.900 --> 00:26:14.480
of<00:26:12.299><c> what</c><00:26:12.480><c> you</c><00:26:12.779><c> think</c><00:26:13.180><c> and</c><00:26:13.599><c> do.</c>

00:26:17.700 --> 00:26:20.079
And<00:26:17.880><c> so</c><00:26:17.980><c> it</c><00:26:18.119><c> is</c><00:26:18.279><c> that</c><00:26:18.420><c> as</c><00:26:18.579><c> you</c><00:26:18.740><c> read</c><00:26:19.059><c> through</c>

00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:23.400
Paul's<00:26:20.619><c> epistles</c><00:26:21.099><c> to</c><00:26:22.420><c> Timothy,</c>

00:26:23.500 --> 00:26:25.200
you<00:26:23.700><c> just</c><00:26:24.019><c> see</c><00:26:24.259><c> the</c><00:26:24.759><c> emphasis</c>

00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:28.599
which<00:26:25.640><c> he</c><00:26:26.000><c> places</c><00:26:26.420><c> on</c><00:26:27.240><c> godliness.</c>

00:26:29.140 --> 00:26:31.880
In<00:26:29.319><c> all</c><00:26:29.740><c> godliness</c><00:26:31.059><c> and</c><00:26:31.400><c> honesty,</c>

00:26:32.299 --> 00:26:35.319
our<00:26:32.460><c> prayers</c><00:26:32.799><c> and</c><00:26:33.059><c> our</c><00:26:33.319><c> praises</c><00:26:33.640><c> have</c><00:26:33.900><c> to</c><00:26:34.059><c> be</c><00:26:34.279><c> conducted.</c>

00:26:35.599 --> 00:26:37.940
The<00:26:35.740><c> women</c><00:26:36.000><c> in</c><00:26:36.180><c> the</c><00:26:36.359><c> way</c><00:26:36.680><c> they</c><00:26:37.019><c> conduct</c><00:26:37.440><c> themselves</c>

00:26:37.940 --> 00:26:40.440
have<00:26:38.299><c> to</c><00:26:38.599><c> profess</c><00:26:39.119><c> godliness.</c>

00:26:40.940 --> 00:26:42.640
There<00:26:41.059><c> is</c><00:26:41.319><c> the</c><00:26:41.579><c> secret</c><00:26:41.980><c> of</c><00:26:42.240><c> godliness</c>

00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:44.880
which<00:26:42.960><c> is</c><00:26:43.220><c> seen</c><00:26:43.440><c> in</c><00:26:43.599><c> the</c><00:26:43.720><c> Lord</c><00:26:43.980><c> Jesus</c><00:26:44.380><c> Christ's</c>

00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:47.099
life<00:26:45.220><c> and</c><00:26:45.480><c> death</c><00:26:45.759><c> and</c><00:26:46.039><c> resurrection.</c>

00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:50.519
There<00:26:47.940><c> is</c><00:26:48.240><c> the</c><00:26:48.500><c> need</c><00:26:48.740><c> for</c><00:26:48.980><c> us</c><00:26:49.180><c> to</c><00:26:49.480><c> remove</c><00:26:49.819><c> every</c><00:26:50.200><c> hindrance</c>

00:26:50.519 --> 00:26:53.619
so<00:26:50.720><c> we</c><00:26:50.900><c> can</c><00:26:51.339><c> constantly</c><00:26:52.019><c> train</c><00:26:52.519><c> like</c><00:26:52.759><c> the</c><00:26:53.019><c> athlete</c><00:26:53.279><c> does</c>

00:26:56.079 --> 00:26:58.039
And<00:26:56.140><c> it's</c><00:26:56.319><c> no</c><00:26:56.519><c> good</c><00:26:56.799><c> professing</c><00:26:57.299><c> that</c><00:26:57.420><c> you're</c><00:26:57.640><c> an</c><00:26:57.799><c> athlete</c>

00:26:58.039 --> 00:26:59.119

00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:00.819
because<00:26:59.500><c> they'll</c><00:26:59.819><c> soon</c><00:27:00.079><c> find</c><00:27:00.400><c> out</c>

00:27:00.819 --> 00:27:03.420
that<00:27:01.000><c> you</c><00:27:01.119><c> have</c><00:27:01.299><c> neither</c><00:27:01.599><c> the</c><00:27:01.920><c> stamina</c><00:27:02.240><c> nor</c><00:27:02.619><c> the</c><00:27:02.940><c> ability</c>

00:27:06.660 --> 00:27:11.039
And<00:27:06.779><c> then</c><00:27:07.299><c> godliness</c><00:27:07.880><c> is</c><00:27:08.960><c> profitable</c><00:27:09.619><c> for</c><00:27:10.200><c> something.</c>

00:27:11.480 --> 00:27:13.920
You<00:27:11.660><c> remember</c><00:27:11.920><c> what</c><00:27:12.160><c> the</c><00:27:12.380><c> Apostle</c><00:27:12.740><c> Paul</c><00:27:13.119><c> told</c><00:27:13.519><c> Timothy,</c>

having<00:27:23.680><c> promise</c><00:27:24.240><c> of</c><00:27:24.700><c> the</c><00:27:24.900><c> life</c><00:27:25.180><c> that</c><00:27:25.519><c> now</c><00:27:25.799><c> is</c>

00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:29.180
and<00:27:26.740><c> that</c><00:27:27.319><c> which</c><00:27:27.640><c> is</c><00:27:27.900><c> to</c><00:27:28.180><c> come.</c>

00:27:29.900 --> 00:27:32.940
So<00:27:30.119><c> godliness</c><00:27:30.519><c> is</c><00:27:30.740><c> something</c><00:27:31.099><c> which</c><00:27:31.339><c> is</c><00:27:31.519><c> going</c><00:27:31.680><c> to</c><00:27:32.099><c> be</c><00:27:32.279><c> of</c><00:27:32.539><c> benefit</c>

00:27:32.940 --> 00:27:34.099
to<00:27:33.140><c> us,</c><00:27:33.480><c> brethren</c><00:27:33.599><c> and</c><00:27:33.819><c> sisters.</c>

00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:36.400
Now,<00:27:34.539><c> in</c><00:27:34.680><c> fact,</c><00:27:35.079><c> there's</c><00:27:35.220><c> an</c><00:27:35.500><c> interesting</c><00:27:35.819><c> phrase</c>

00:27:36.400 --> 00:27:39.380
at<00:27:36.619><c> the</c><00:27:36.720><c> end</c><00:27:36.920><c> of</c><00:27:37.319><c> 1</c><00:27:37.539><c> Timothy</c><00:27:37.859><c> 6</c>

00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:41.900
where<00:27:40.000><c> those</c><00:27:40.339><c> who</c><00:27:40.579><c> are</c><00:27:40.819><c> rich</c><00:27:41.059><c> in</c><00:27:41.259><c> good</c><00:27:41.500><c> works</c>

and<00:27:44.400><c> lay</c><00:27:44.559><c> up</c><00:27:44.740><c> in</c><00:27:44.960><c> store</c><00:27:45.059><c> for</c><00:27:45.220><c> themselves</c>

00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:47.700
a<00:27:45.799><c> good</c><00:27:46.019><c> foundation</c><00:27:46.500><c> against</c><00:27:46.779><c> the</c><00:27:47.039><c> time</c><00:27:47.180><c> to</c><00:27:47.440><c> come,</c>

00:27:47.940 --> 00:27:50.359
it<00:27:48.180><c> says</c><00:27:48.279><c> that</c><00:27:48.460><c> they</c><00:27:48.660><c> may</c><00:27:48.900><c> lay</c><00:27:49.099><c> hold</c><00:27:49.339><c> on</c><00:27:49.619><c> eternal</c><00:27:49.960><c> life.</c>

00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:52.440
And<00:27:50.779><c> it</c><00:27:50.880><c> isn't</c><00:27:51.400><c> eternal</c><00:27:51.799><c> life</c><00:27:52.000><c> in</c><00:27:52.160><c> the</c><00:27:52.319><c> sense</c>

00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:53.940
of<00:27:52.799><c> something</c><00:27:53.000><c> in</c><00:27:53.200><c> the</c><00:27:53.519><c> future</c>

00:27:53.940 --> 00:27:55.779
that<00:27:54.319><c> you're</c><00:27:54.480><c> going</c><00:27:54.599><c> to</c><00:27:54.740><c> get</c><00:27:54.980><c> hold</c><00:27:55.319><c> of.</c>

00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:58.240
The<00:27:56.259><c> meaning</c><00:27:56.599><c> of</c><00:27:56.839><c> that</c><00:27:57.119><c> in</c><00:27:57.279><c> the</c><00:27:57.460><c> original</c><00:27:57.720><c> language</c>

00:27:58.240 --> 00:28:01.220
is<00:27:58.480><c> that</c><00:27:58.619><c> it's</c><00:27:58.920><c> a</c><00:27:59.019><c> way</c><00:27:59.259><c> of</c><00:27:59.660><c> life</c><00:28:00.079><c> now,</c>

00:28:01.819 --> 00:28:04.700
that<00:28:01.980><c> our</c><00:28:02.299><c> life</c><00:28:02.599><c> might</c><00:28:02.880><c> reflect</c><00:28:03.640><c> eternal</c><00:28:04.319><c> life.</c>

00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:06.279
So<00:28:05.019><c> we</c><00:28:05.160><c> should</c><00:28:05.299><c> be</c><00:28:05.539><c> living</c><00:28:05.779><c> now</c>

00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:08.279
as<00:28:06.579><c> though</c><00:28:06.759><c> we</c><00:28:06.900><c> were</c><00:28:07.079><c> in</c><00:28:07.220><c> the</c><00:28:07.420><c> kingdom.</c>

00:28:08.980 --> 00:28:11.359
Our<00:28:09.319><c> attitude</c><00:28:09.700><c> and</c><00:28:10.019><c> mind</c><00:28:10.259><c> and</c><00:28:10.559><c> desires</c>

00:28:11.440 --> 00:28:13.440
are<00:28:11.700><c> kingdom</c><00:28:12.259><c>-directed,</c>

00:28:13.660 --> 00:28:15.799
so<00:28:13.799><c> they</c><00:28:13.940><c> must</c><00:28:14.140><c> be</c><00:28:14.420><c> seen</c><00:28:14.660><c> in</c><00:28:14.819><c> the</c><00:28:14.980><c> things</c><00:28:15.160><c> that</c><00:28:15.359><c> we</c><00:28:15.460><c> do,</c>

00:28:16.019 --> 00:28:17.220
in<00:28:16.140><c> the</c><00:28:16.279><c> things</c><00:28:16.460><c> that</c><00:28:16.640><c> we</c><00:28:16.819><c> say,</c>

00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:19.900
in<00:28:17.880><c> the</c><00:28:18.019><c> things</c><00:28:18.380><c> that</c><00:28:18.680><c> we</c><00:28:18.920><c> desire.</c>

00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:23.460
So<00:28:20.759><c> he</c><00:28:20.920><c> says,</c><00:28:21.839><c> Paul,</c><00:28:22.019><c> there</c><00:28:22.220><c> is</c><00:28:22.519><c> a</c><00:28:23.059><c> doctrine,</c>

00:28:23.619 --> 00:28:25.779
there<00:28:23.700><c> is</c><00:28:23.900><c> the</c><00:28:24.220><c> teaching</c><00:28:24.660><c> that</c><00:28:25.140><c> we</c><00:28:25.339><c> have</c>

00:28:25.779 --> 00:28:27.240
taken<00:28:26.099><c> into</c><00:28:26.400><c> our</c><00:28:26.619><c> hearts</c><00:28:26.880><c> and</c><00:28:27.099><c> minds,</c>

00:28:27.380 --> 00:28:29.099
and<00:28:27.380><c> it's</c><00:28:27.619><c> these</c><00:28:27.940><c> doctrines</c><00:28:28.380><c> and</c><00:28:28.700><c> teachings</c>

00:28:29.099 --> 00:28:32.900
which<00:28:29.539><c> are</c><00:28:29.700><c> going</c><00:28:29.880><c> to</c><00:28:30.119><c> enable</c><00:28:30.599><c> us</c><00:28:31.140><c> to</c><00:28:31.440><c> be</c><00:28:32.079><c> godly.</c>

00:28:33.339 --> 00:28:35.779
When<00:28:33.539><c> we</c><00:28:33.859><c> actually</c><00:28:34.400><c> think</c><00:28:35.220><c> constantly</c>

00:28:35.779 --> 00:28:37.220
of<00:28:35.960><c> the</c><00:28:36.200><c> promises</c><00:28:36.480><c> that</c><00:28:36.740><c> God</c><00:28:36.880><c> has</c><00:28:37.099><c> made,</c>

00:28:37.259 --> 00:28:38.660
when<00:28:37.420><c> we</c><00:28:37.660><c> think</c><00:28:37.880><c> about</c><00:28:38.119><c> the</c><00:28:38.359><c> teachings</c>

00:28:38.660 --> 00:28:39.880
of<00:28:38.819><c> the</c><00:28:38.920><c> Lord</c><00:28:39.099><c> Jesus</c><00:28:39.500><c> Christ,</c>

00:28:40.259 --> 00:28:43.539
when<00:28:40.440><c> we</c><00:28:40.660><c> consider</c><00:28:41.160><c> the</c><00:28:41.420><c> work</c><00:28:41.619><c> which</c><00:28:41.920><c> God</c><00:28:42.200><c> has</c><00:28:42.519><c> called</c><00:28:42.779><c> us</c><00:28:43.019><c> to</c><00:28:43.279><c> do,</c>

00:28:43.740 --> 00:28:46.480
these<00:28:43.980><c> are</c><00:28:44.180><c> the</c><00:28:44.299><c> things</c><00:28:44.420><c> which</c><00:28:44.579><c> are</c><00:28:44.680><c> going</c><00:28:44.819><c> to</c><00:28:44.960><c> influence</c><00:28:45.400><c> us.</c>

00:28:50.259 --> 00:28:53.720
Then,<00:28:51.839><c> godliness</c><00:28:52.160><c> with</c><00:28:52.619><c> contentment</c>

00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:55.220
is<00:28:54.500><c> great</c><00:28:54.980><c> gain.</c>

00:28:55.279 --> 00:28:58.839
So<00:28:55.440><c> we</c><00:28:55.579><c> should</c><00:28:56.079><c> follow</c><00:28:56.619><c> after</c><00:28:57.140><c> godliness.</c>

00:28:59.819 --> 00:29:02.119
It's<00:29:00.500><c> a</c><00:29:00.700><c> moving</c><00:29:01.079><c> path.</c>

00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:05.779
It's<00:29:02.700><c> not</c><00:29:02.900><c> a</c><00:29:03.160><c> static</c><00:29:03.500><c> occupation,</c><00:29:04.700><c> godliness.</c>

00:29:06.140 --> 00:29:09.880
Remember<00:29:06.480><c> when</c><00:29:07.019><c> the</c><00:29:07.259><c> blind</c><00:29:07.460><c> man</c><00:29:07.759><c> Bartimaeus</c><00:29:08.380><c> was</c><00:29:08.759><c> healed?</c>

00:29:11.220 --> 00:29:12.380
When<00:29:11.339><c> he</c><00:29:11.500><c> received</c><00:29:11.819><c> his</c><00:29:12.200><c> sight,</c>

00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:16.099
the<00:29:12.579><c> record</c><00:29:12.859><c> tells</c><00:29:13.240><c> you</c><00:29:13.940><c> he</c><00:29:14.400><c> followed</c><00:29:14.880><c> after</c><00:29:15.480><c> Jesus.</c>

00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:17.559
Having<00:29:16.660><c> got</c><00:29:16.819><c> his</c><00:29:17.220><c> sight,</c>

00:29:17.559 --> 00:29:20.559
he<00:29:17.960><c> kept</c><00:29:18.259><c> moving</c><00:29:18.940><c> towards</c><00:29:19.740><c> and</c><00:29:20.119><c> behind</c>

00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:23.259
and<00:29:20.920><c> following</c><00:29:21.240><c> the</c><00:29:21.720><c> one</c><00:29:21.900><c> who</c><00:29:22.079><c> had</c><00:29:22.299><c> given</c><00:29:22.460><c> him</c><00:29:22.660><c> his</c><00:29:22.920><c> sight.</c>

00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:25.579
And<00:29:23.819><c> this</c><00:29:23.960><c> is</c><00:29:24.279><c> what</c><00:29:24.500><c> the</c><00:29:24.640><c> Apostle</c><00:29:25.000><c> Paul</c><00:29:25.220><c> is</c><00:29:25.440><c> saying.</c>

00:29:25.859 --> 00:29:29.660
It's<00:29:25.980><c> something</c><00:29:26.259><c> which</c><00:29:26.500><c> you</c><00:29:26.859><c> keep</c><00:29:27.240><c> moving</c><00:29:27.700><c> on</c><00:29:28.420><c> towards.</c>

00:29:29.819 --> 00:29:32.359
So<00:29:30.119><c> it</c><00:29:30.240><c> isn't</c><00:29:30.480><c> that</c><00:29:30.759><c> eternal</c><00:29:31.079><c> life</c><00:29:31.339><c> is</c><00:29:31.519><c> something</c><00:29:31.799><c> out</c><00:29:32.140><c> there</c>

00:29:32.359 --> 00:29:33.880
that<00:29:32.440><c> we're</c><00:29:32.640><c> going</c><00:29:32.740><c> to</c><00:29:32.920><c> get</c><00:29:33.119><c> one</c><00:29:33.500><c> day.</c>

00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:36.019
Eternal<00:29:34.480><c> life</c><00:29:34.779><c> is</c><00:29:34.980><c> an</c><00:29:35.160><c> attitude</c><00:29:35.480><c> of</c><00:29:35.779><c> mind</c>

which<00:29:36.599><c> directs</c><00:29:37.119><c> the</c><00:29:37.240><c> way</c><00:29:37.380><c> you</c><00:29:37.599><c> live</c><00:29:37.759><c> now.</c>

00:29:40.779 --> 00:29:43.099
And<00:29:41.039><c> if</c><00:29:41.240><c> we're</c><00:29:41.460><c> not</c><00:29:41.640><c> prepared</c><00:29:41.980><c> to</c><00:29:42.319><c> discipline</c><00:29:42.640><c> ourselves,</c>

00:29:43.279 --> 00:29:44.500
brothers<00:29:43.359><c> and</c><00:29:43.480><c> sisters,</c>

00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:47.180

00:30:14.059 --> 00:30:15.680

00:30:25.220 --> 00:30:26.680
Well,<00:30:25.339><c> no</c><00:30:25.440><c> one</c><00:30:25.519><c> ever</c><00:30:25.740><c> says</c><00:30:25.880><c> that</c><00:30:26.119><c> to</c><00:30:26.279><c> the,</c><00:30:26.420><c> you</c><00:30:26.519><c> know,</c>

everyone<00:30:27.039><c> usually</c><00:30:27.339><c> says,</c><00:30:27.660><c> yes,</c><00:30:28.559><c> of</c><00:30:28.700><c> course</c><00:30:28.839><c> I</c><00:30:29.059><c> will.</c>

00:30:29.240 --> 00:30:30.700
So<00:30:29.400><c> I</c><00:30:29.539><c> said,</c><00:30:29.700><c> why?</c>

00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:32.500
And<00:30:31.779><c> he</c><00:30:31.900><c> sort</c><00:30:32.000><c> of</c><00:30:32.119><c> looked</c><00:30:32.259><c> at</c><00:30:32.420><c> me.</c>

00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:34.839
I<00:30:32.599><c> said,</c><00:30:32.799><c> well,</c><00:30:33.920><c> do</c><00:30:34.079><c> I</c><00:30:34.180><c> need</c><00:30:34.339><c> a</c><00:30:34.380><c> big</c><00:30:34.599><c> house</c>

00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:39.720
You<00:30:37.339><c> know,</c><00:30:37.740><c> can</c><00:30:37.880><c> we</c><00:30:37.960><c> not</c><00:30:38.140><c> live</c><00:30:38.240><c> in</c><00:30:38.380><c> something</c><00:30:38.579><c> a</c><00:30:38.720><c> bit</c><00:30:38.900><c> smaller?</c>

00:30:41.140 --> 00:30:44.420
We<00:30:41.500><c> always</c><00:30:41.779><c> have</c><00:30:41.960><c> to</c><00:30:42.059><c> drive</c><00:30:42.279><c> two</c><00:30:42.500><c> cars,</c><00:30:43.900><c> you</c><00:30:44.000><c> know?</c>

00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:46.619
No,<00:30:45.420><c> we</c><00:30:45.539><c> don't</c><00:30:45.619><c> have</c><00:30:45.720><c> a</c><00:30:45.839><c> need.</c>

00:30:47.140 --> 00:30:48.339
Someone<00:30:47.319><c> said</c><00:30:47.519><c> to</c><00:30:47.579><c> me</c><00:30:47.740><c> yesterday,</c><00:30:47.980><c> ah,</c><00:30:48.220><c> yes,</c>

00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:50.099
but<00:30:48.480><c> then</c><00:30:48.619><c> if</c><00:30:48.759><c> you</c><00:30:48.839><c> play</c><00:30:48.980><c> golf</c><00:30:49.220><c> you</c><00:30:49.359><c> need</c><00:30:49.559><c> to</c><00:30:49.700><c> have</c><00:30:49.740><c> a</c><00:30:49.839><c> car</c><00:30:50.019><c> to</c>

00:30:52.900 --> 00:30:54.640
I<00:30:53.059><c> said,</c><00:30:53.299><c> no,</c><00:30:53.420><c> no,</c><00:30:53.480><c> I'll</c><00:30:53.579><c> get</c><00:30:53.640><c> the</c><00:30:53.779><c> wife</c><00:30:53.920><c> to</c><00:30:54.119><c> drop</c><00:30:54.200><c> me</c><00:30:54.359><c> off</c><00:30:54.500><c> when</c>

00:30:54.640 --> 00:30:55.740
I<00:30:54.779><c> play</c><00:30:54.920><c> golf.</c>

00:30:57.480 --> 00:30:58.660
But<00:30:57.839><c> it's</c><00:30:58.200><c> true,</c><00:30:58.440><c> isn't</c><00:30:58.519><c> it?</c>

00:30:58.680 --> 00:31:01.740
You<00:30:58.859><c> see,</c><00:30:59.240><c> they</c><00:30:59.680><c> all</c><00:31:00.240><c> around</c><00:31:00.799><c> us</c><00:31:01.119><c> think</c><00:31:01.319><c> this</c><00:31:01.519><c> way,</c>

00:31:01.740 --> 00:31:03.140
got<00:31:01.920><c> to</c><00:31:02.140><c> maintain</c><00:31:02.700><c> something.</c>

00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:06.019
We<00:31:03.819><c> don't</c><00:31:04.019><c> have</c><00:31:04.279><c> to</c><00:31:04.460><c> maintain</c><00:31:04.819><c> anything,</c><00:31:05.400><c> brethren</c><00:31:05.519><c> and</c><00:31:05.759><c> sisters.</c>

00:31:06.380 --> 00:31:07.039
It<00:31:06.559><c> doesn't</c><00:31:06.779><c> matter.</c>

00:31:07.039 --> 00:31:11.359
We've<00:31:07.140><c> got</c><00:31:07.279><c> a</c><00:31:07.359><c> bed,</c><00:31:07.740><c> a</c><00:31:07.799><c> chair,</c><00:31:08.180><c> a</c><00:31:08.220><c> table,</c><00:31:08.579><c> a</c><00:31:08.660><c> candle</c><00:31:09.140><c> and</c><00:31:10.160><c> a</c><00:31:10.359><c> room.</c>

00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:15.380
You<00:31:12.859><c> know,</c><00:31:13.380><c> it's</c><00:31:13.839><c> very</c><00:31:14.319><c> salutary,</c><00:31:14.759><c> isn't</c><00:31:14.819><c> it,</c><00:31:14.920><c> when</c><00:31:15.079><c> we</c><00:31:15.180><c> read</c>

00:31:15.380 --> 00:31:15.799
the<00:31:15.559><c> scriptures?</c>

00:31:15.900 --> 00:31:17.859
We<00:31:16.240><c> actually</c><00:31:16.779><c> think</c><00:31:17.019><c> we</c><00:31:17.220><c> have</c><00:31:17.440><c> needs</c>

00:31:17.859 --> 00:31:19.599
and<00:31:18.059><c> really</c><00:31:18.319><c> they're</c><00:31:18.539><c> not</c><00:31:18.640><c> needs,</c><00:31:18.960><c> they're</c><00:31:19.180><c> wants</c>

00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:21.380
and<00:31:20.140><c> that's</c><00:31:20.339><c> what</c><00:31:20.480><c> we</c><00:31:20.700><c> surround</c><00:31:20.920><c> ourselves</c><00:31:21.220><c> with</c>

00:31:21.380 --> 00:31:24.960
and<00:31:21.559><c> they'll</c><00:31:21.900><c> make</c><00:31:22.079><c> us</c><00:31:22.400><c> feel</c><00:31:22.579><c> that</c><00:31:22.779><c> that's</c><00:31:23.019><c> what</c><00:31:23.220><c> we</c><00:31:23.599><c> want</c><00:31:24.059><c> that</c><00:31:24.779><c> we</c>

00:31:24.960 --> 00:31:26.299
have<00:31:25.180><c> to</c><00:31:25.380><c> have.</c>

00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:29.180
And<00:31:27.160><c> so,</c><00:31:28.140><c> if</c><00:31:28.279><c> we're</c><00:31:28.420><c> not</c><00:31:28.680><c> careful,</c>

00:31:29.339 --> 00:31:32.880
we'll<00:31:29.579><c> become</c><00:31:29.819><c> like</c><00:31:30.140><c> those</c><00:31:30.440><c> people</c><00:31:30.940><c> in</c><00:31:31.619><c> 2</c><00:31:31.819><c> Timothy</c><00:31:32.200><c> chapter</c><00:31:32.579><c> 3</c>

00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:34.960

00:31:34.960 --> 00:31:39.140
We'll<00:31:36.240><c> develop</c><00:31:36.640><c> a</c><00:31:36.980><c> godliness</c><00:31:37.400><c> which</c><00:31:37.779><c> reflects</c><00:31:38.279><c> our</c><00:31:38.680><c> attitude</c>

00:31:39.140 --> 00:31:40.359
to<00:31:39.460><c> God,</c>

00:31:40.460 --> 00:31:43.900
that<00:31:40.720><c> justifies</c><00:31:41.420><c> our</c><00:31:41.880><c> way</c><00:31:42.140><c> of</c><00:31:42.480><c> life.</c>

00:31:44.019 --> 00:31:47.180

00:33:39.579 --> 00:33:41.740
And<00:33:39.660><c> you</c><00:33:39.759><c> notice</c><00:33:40.000><c> what</c><00:33:40.200><c> it</c><00:33:40.380><c> says</c><00:33:40.700><c> to</c><00:33:41.380><c> Timothy,</c>

00:33:47.539 --> 00:33:49.599
That's<00:33:47.799><c> what</c><00:33:48.059><c> godliness</c><00:33:48.420><c> is</c><00:33:48.619><c> all</c><00:33:48.839><c> about,</c><00:33:49.220><c> my</c><00:33:49.259><c> sisters.</c>

00:33:49.819 --> 00:33:52.000
It's<00:33:50.119><c> about</c><00:33:50.400><c> our</c><00:33:50.859><c> lifestyle.</c>

00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:54.440
And<00:33:52.200><c> we</c><00:33:52.339><c> have</c><00:33:52.539><c> to</c><00:33:52.759><c> examine</c><00:33:53.140><c> our</c><00:33:53.460><c> lifestyle.</c>

00:33:54.579 --> 00:33:58.200
And<00:33:55.000><c> we</c><00:33:55.140><c> have</c><00:33:55.359><c> to</c><00:33:55.839><c> start</c><00:33:56.220><c> putting</c><00:33:56.579><c> lines</c><00:33:57.059><c> through</c><00:33:57.359><c> things</c><00:33:57.680><c> which</c><00:33:57.960><c> are</c>

part<00:33:58.440><c> of</c><00:33:58.640><c> our</c><00:33:58.900><c> lifestyle,</c>

00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:03.579
have<00:33:59.799><c> the</c><00:34:00.140><c> courage</c><00:34:00.519><c> to</c><00:34:00.880><c> do</c><00:34:01.059><c> without,</c><00:34:01.920><c> to</c><00:34:02.079><c> say</c><00:34:02.339><c> no.</c>

00:34:03.859 --> 00:34:05.880
To<00:34:03.980><c> actually</c><00:34:04.220><c> say,</c><00:34:04.599><c> well,</c><00:34:04.660><c> yes,</c><00:34:04.799><c> I</c><00:34:04.940><c> could</c><00:34:05.180><c> do</c><00:34:05.380><c> it</c><00:34:05.460><c> and</c><00:34:05.519><c> it</c><00:34:05.640><c> would</c><00:34:05.779><c> be</c>

00:34:05.880 --> 00:34:06.940
very<00:34:06.099><c> nice</c><00:34:06.339><c> to</c><00:34:06.519><c> do</c><00:34:06.660><c> it,</c>

00:34:06.960 --> 00:34:09.519
but<00:34:07.079><c> it</c><00:34:07.279><c> might</c><00:34:07.440><c> actually</c><00:34:07.660><c> be</c><00:34:07.900><c> a</c><00:34:08.039><c> stumbling</c><00:34:08.260><c> block</c><00:34:08.519><c> to</c><00:34:08.699><c> somebody</c><00:34:09.019><c> else.</c>

00:34:09.760 --> 00:34:12.360
Because<00:34:09.940><c> we</c><00:34:10.139><c> never</c><00:34:10.440><c> compare</c><00:34:10.780><c> ourselves</c><00:34:11.059><c> with</c><00:34:11.219><c> people</c><00:34:11.420><c> who</c><00:34:11.579><c> are</c><00:34:11.679><c> worse</c><00:34:11.880><c> off,</c><00:34:12.099><c> do</c><00:34:12.280><c> we?</c>

00:34:12.480 --> 00:34:15.300
We<00:34:12.659><c> always</c><00:34:12.960><c> compare</c><00:34:13.280><c> ourselves</c><00:34:13.599><c> with</c><00:34:13.760><c> people</c><00:34:13.920><c> who</c><00:34:14.000><c> are</c><00:34:14.099><c> better</c><00:34:14.340><c> off.</c>

00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:18.400
So<00:34:17.059><c> let's</c><00:34:17.480><c> change</c><00:34:17.760><c> that</c><00:34:17.980><c> round</c><00:34:18.139><c> then.</c>

00:34:18.420 --> 00:34:21.219
As<00:34:18.619><c> from</c><00:34:18.800><c> today,</c><00:34:19.800><c> we</c><00:34:19.960><c> will</c><00:34:20.119><c> always</c><00:34:20.400><c> look</c><00:34:20.599><c> at</c><00:34:20.719><c> people</c><00:34:20.940><c> who</c><00:34:21.119><c> are</c>

00:34:21.219 --> 00:34:22.420

00:34:22.420 --> 00:34:25.980
and<00:34:23.159><c> say,</c><00:34:23.639><c> well,</c><00:34:23.719><c> I've</c><00:34:24.019><c> got</c><00:34:24.179><c> double,</c><00:34:24.760><c> they</c><00:34:25.059><c> can</c><00:34:25.260><c> have</c><00:34:25.619><c> some</c><00:34:25.880><c> of</c>

00:34:27.199 --> 00:34:29.219
And<00:34:27.360><c> let's</c><00:34:27.579><c> stop</c><00:34:27.820><c> looking</c><00:34:28.079><c> at</c><00:34:28.260><c> people</c><00:34:28.539><c> who</c><00:34:28.699><c> are</c><00:34:28.820><c> better</c><00:34:29.039><c> off</c>

00:34:32.280 --> 00:34:38.880
And<00:34:32.659><c> so</c><00:34:33.219><c> we</c><00:34:34.019><c> have</c><00:34:34.199><c> to</c><00:34:34.420><c> read,</c><00:34:35.840><c> to</c><00:34:36.159><c> exhort,</c><00:34:37.380><c> and</c><00:34:37.480><c> to</c><00:34:37.739><c> teach</c><00:34:38.199><c> that</c>

00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:47.980
Now,<00:34:43.119><c> Paul</c><00:34:43.360><c> tells</c><00:34:43.780><c> Timothy,</c><00:34:46.460><c> you</c><00:34:46.579><c> have</c><00:34:46.760><c> a</c><00:34:46.920><c> certain</c><00:34:47.139><c> responsibility.</c>

So<00:34:55.019><c> it</c><00:34:55.280><c> really</c><00:34:55.539><c> doesn't</c><00:34:55.840><c> matter</c><00:34:56.340><c> how</c><00:34:56.619><c> much</c><00:34:56.780><c> it</c><00:34:56.940><c> costs</c><00:34:57.199><c> to</c><00:34:57.320><c> live</c>

00:35:10.019 --> 00:35:12.340
And<00:35:10.280><c> it's</c><00:35:10.420><c> a</c><00:35:10.420><c> very</c><00:35:10.719><c> interesting</c><00:35:11.159><c> expression.</c>

It<00:37:53.039><c> had</c><00:37:53.260><c> to</c><00:37:53.440><c> be</c><00:37:53.760><c> done</c><00:37:54.000><c> in</c><00:37:54.199><c> a</c><00:37:54.400><c> specific</c><00:37:54.820><c> way,</c><00:37:55.579><c> in</c><00:37:55.599><c> a</c><00:37:55.800><c> specific</c><00:37:56.320><c> order.</c>

00:37:56.940 --> 00:38:02.199
The<00:37:57.219><c> cutting</c><00:37:57.599><c> was</c><00:37:58.239><c> done,</c><00:37:58.760><c> and</c><00:37:59.019><c> then</c><00:37:59.380><c> it</c><00:37:59.719><c> was</c><00:38:00.400><c> used</c><00:38:01.000><c> in</c><00:38:01.300><c> the</c><00:38:01.460><c> worship</c><00:38:01.760><c> of</c><00:38:01.940><c> God,</c>

00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:04.380
and<00:38:02.440><c> the</c><00:38:02.679><c> order</c><00:38:02.900><c> had</c><00:38:03.159><c> to</c><00:38:03.300><c> be</c><00:38:03.559><c> followed.</c>

00:38:04.980 --> 00:38:08.000
They<00:38:05.159><c> had</c><00:38:05.440><c> to</c><00:38:05.760><c> rightly</c><00:38:06.139><c> divide</c><00:38:06.800><c> their</c><00:38:07.099><c> animal.</c>

00:38:08.019 --> 00:38:10.940
Their<00:38:08.300><c> worship</c><00:38:08.619><c> would</c><00:38:08.880><c> not</c><00:38:09.059><c> be</c><00:38:09.440><c> acceptable</c><00:38:09.920><c> if</c><00:38:10.380><c> the</c><00:38:10.659><c> animal</c>

00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:17.679
So,<00:38:14.519><c> brothers</c><00:38:14.639><c> and</c><00:38:14.820><c> sisters,</c><00:38:15.619><c> I</c><00:38:15.760><c> think</c><00:38:15.900><c> this</c><00:38:16.099><c> is</c><00:38:16.199><c> what</c><00:38:16.380><c> the</c><00:38:16.519><c> Apostle</c><00:38:16.900><c> Paul</c><00:38:17.159><c> is</c>

00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:18.920
directing<00:38:18.099><c> our</c><00:38:18.440><c> thoughts</c><00:38:18.659><c> to,</c>

00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:22.420

00:38:22.980 --> 00:38:25.780
it<00:38:22.980><c> has</c><00:38:23.239><c> to</c><00:38:23.400><c> be</c><00:38:23.579><c> conducted</c><00:38:24.039><c> in</c><00:38:24.260><c> the</c><00:38:24.340><c> way</c><00:38:24.559><c> that</c><00:38:24.719><c> God</c><00:38:24.920><c> wants</c><00:38:25.320><c> it.</c>

00:38:26.019 --> 00:38:28.800
And<00:38:26.139><c> so</c><00:38:26.239><c> it</c><00:38:26.360><c> isn't</c><00:38:26.599><c> just</c><00:38:26.880><c> a</c><00:38:27.059><c> question</c><00:38:27.320><c> of</c><00:38:27.440><c> when</c><00:38:27.599><c> we</c><00:38:27.800><c> come</c><00:38:28.000><c> to</c><00:38:28.159><c> the</c><00:38:28.320><c> meeting</c><00:38:28.559><c> on</c>

a<00:38:28.920><c> Sunday,</c>

00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:32.780
or<00:38:29.659><c> on</c><00:38:29.860><c> a</c><00:38:29.940><c> weeknight,</c><00:38:30.559><c> or</c><00:38:30.619><c> on</c><00:38:30.840><c> a</c><00:38:31.079><c> Bible</c><00:38:31.400><c> school,</c><00:38:31.880><c> or</c><00:38:31.960><c> on</c><00:38:32.119><c> a</c><00:38:32.420><c> study</c><00:38:32.639><c> day,</c>

00:38:32.800 --> 00:38:33.460
or<00:38:32.920><c> anything</c><00:38:33.199><c> else,</c>

00:38:33.619 --> 00:38:36.159
it's<00:38:33.900><c> how</c><00:38:34.179><c> we</c><00:38:34.500><c> actually</c><00:38:34.800><c> live</c><00:38:34.960><c> our</c><00:38:35.239><c> life,</c><00:38:35.460><c> because</c><00:38:35.699><c> the</c><00:38:35.980><c> whole</c>

00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:38.679
of<00:38:36.360><c> our</c><00:38:36.559><c> life</c><00:38:36.840><c> is</c><00:38:37.219><c> an</c><00:38:37.340><c> act</c><00:38:37.519><c> of</c><00:38:37.780><c> worship.</c>

00:38:39.679 --> 00:38:42.659
So<00:38:40.059><c> everything</c><00:38:40.440><c> we</c><00:38:40.699><c> do</c><00:38:40.920><c> in</c><00:38:41.159><c> life</c><00:38:41.420><c> has</c><00:38:41.760><c> to</c><00:38:41.940><c> be</c><00:38:42.079><c> put</c><00:38:42.179><c> under</c><00:38:42.400><c> the</c>

00:38:42.659 --> 00:38:44.460
microscope<00:38:43.219><c> of</c><00:38:43.519><c> Scripture,</c>

00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:46.760

00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:51.380
We<00:38:48.019><c> have</c><00:38:48.239><c> to</c><00:38:48.440><c> rightly</c><00:38:48.760><c> divide</c><00:38:49.679><c> the</c><00:38:50.179><c> Word</c><00:38:50.380><c> of</c><00:38:50.539><c> God,</c>

00:38:51.880 --> 00:38:54.800
so<00:38:51.960><c> that</c><00:38:52.179><c> we</c><00:38:52.400><c> then</c><00:38:52.619><c> behave</c><00:38:52.940><c> in</c><00:38:53.139><c> a</c><00:38:53.239><c> way</c><00:38:53.679><c> which</c><00:38:54.099><c> is</c><00:38:54.460><c> acceptable</c>

00:38:54.800 --> 00:38:56.000
to<00:38:55.059><c> God.</c>

00:38:56.280 --> 00:38:59.559
And<00:38:56.400><c> it</c><00:38:56.519><c> doesn't</c><00:38:56.679><c> matter</c><00:38:56.940><c> what</c><00:38:57.159><c> aspect</c><00:38:57.559><c> of</c><00:38:57.760><c> our</c><00:38:57.960><c> life</c><00:38:58.599><c> that</c><00:38:59.300><c> we</c>

of<00:39:06.460><c> Scripture</c>

00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:10.920
that<00:39:07.440><c> will</c><00:39:07.679><c> bring</c><00:39:07.800><c> us</c><00:39:08.639><c> to</c><00:39:09.059><c> an</c><00:39:09.340><c> understanding</c><00:39:09.940><c> of</c><00:39:10.380><c> how</c><00:39:10.699><c> we</c>

should<00:39:11.099><c> conduct</c><00:39:11.539><c> ourselves.</c>

00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:19.440
And<00:39:14.360><c> so,</c><00:39:15.639><c> the</c><00:39:15.719><c> Apostle</c><00:39:16.099><c> Paul</c><00:39:16.440><c> is</c><00:39:17.159><c> having</c><00:39:17.420><c> to</c><00:39:18.340><c> instruct</c><00:39:18.800><c> Timothy</c><00:39:19.199><c> and</c>

00:39:19.440 --> 00:39:20.300

00:39:25.099 --> 00:39:27.639
You<00:39:25.179><c> have</c><00:39:25.400><c> a</c><00:39:25.500><c> set</c><00:39:25.639><c> of</c><00:39:25.900><c> doctrines,</c><00:39:26.159><c> he</c><00:39:26.360><c> says,</c><00:39:27.139><c> but</c><00:39:27.280><c> it</c><00:39:27.420><c> doesn't</c>

00:39:28.820 --> 00:39:32.780
If<00:39:28.960><c> these</c><00:39:29.239><c> doctrines</c><00:39:29.679><c> don't</c><00:39:29.960><c> become</c><00:39:30.260><c> a</c><00:39:30.519><c> reality</c><00:39:30.880><c> to</c><00:39:31.179><c> make</c><00:39:31.440><c> you</c><00:39:31.760><c> different,</c>

00:39:45.619 --> 00:39:49.800
