00:04:40.500 --> 00:04:43.100
And<00:04:40.740><c> I</c><00:04:40.819><c> do</c><00:04:41.079><c> think</c><00:04:41.259><c> that</c><00:04:41.459><c> that</c><00:04:41.680><c> kind</c><00:04:41.860><c> of</c><00:04:42.000><c> literature</c><00:04:42.240><c> is</c><00:04:42.620><c> the</c><00:04:42.800><c> kind</c><00:04:42.939><c> of</c>

Any<00:04:45.620><c> reaction?</c>

00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:47.819
I'm<00:04:46.839><c> interested.</c>

00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:57.120
Or<00:04:55.759><c> better,</c><00:04:56.220><c> it's</c><00:04:56.399><c> the</c><00:04:56.540><c> spirit</c><00:04:56.699><c> of</c><00:04:56.920><c> God.</c>

00:05:23.379 --> 00:05:24.620
Isn't<00:05:23.480><c> that</c><00:05:23.639><c> what</c><00:05:23.740><c> we're</c><00:05:23.980><c> praying</c><00:05:24.259><c> for?</c>

00:05:24.819 --> 00:05:28.879

Oh,<00:05:30.079><c> sure.</c>

00:05:30.300 --> 00:05:32.420
So<00:05:30.500><c> pick</c><00:05:30.720><c> up</c><00:05:30.899><c> this</c><00:05:31.079><c> stuff</c><00:05:31.199><c> and</c><00:05:31.379><c> start</c><00:05:31.560><c> reading</c><00:05:31.800><c> it.</c>

00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:43.399

00:05:43.660 --> 00:05:44.500
It<00:05:43.879><c> doesn't</c><00:05:44.180><c> help.</c>

00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:48.500
In<00:05:45.160><c> fact,</c><00:05:45.339><c> you're</c><00:05:45.560><c> fooling</c><00:05:45.800><c> yourself,</c><00:05:46.160><c> and</c><00:05:46.379><c> so</c><00:05:46.519><c> am</c><00:05:46.720><c> I,</c><00:05:47.000><c> if</c><00:05:47.240><c> that's</c><00:05:47.439><c> what</c><00:05:47.579><c> we</c><00:05:47.759><c> do.</c>

00:05:48.600 --> 00:05:51.680
So<00:05:49.040><c> the</c><00:05:49.379><c> answer</c><00:05:49.620><c> to</c><00:05:49.779><c> your</c><00:05:49.980><c> question,</c><00:05:50.259><c> I</c><00:05:50.300><c> think,</c><00:05:50.579><c> is</c>

00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:53.139
important,<00:05:52.819><c> certainly.</c>

00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.839
That's<00:05:53.660><c> only</c><00:05:53.839><c> a</c><00:05:53.939><c> for</c><00:05:54.100><c> instance,</c><00:05:54.779><c> and</c><00:05:54.959><c> there</c><00:05:55.079><c> is</c><00:05:55.220><c> a</c><00:05:55.319><c> lot</c><00:05:55.439><c> worse.</c>

00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:57.480
I<00:05:56.360><c> would</c><00:05:56.540><c> agree.</c>

00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:00.279
Well,<00:05:59.240><c> let's</c><00:05:59.439><c> take</c><00:05:59.639><c> a</c><00:05:59.660><c> look</c><00:05:59.759><c> at</c><00:05:59.939><c> another</c><00:06:00.139><c> one.</c>

00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:04.259

00:06:04.259 --> 00:06:05.500
were<00:06:04.540><c> special?</c>

00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:08.519
Did<00:06:06.500><c> they</c><00:06:06.720><c> resist</c><00:06:07.120><c> Christianity</c><00:06:07.720><c> because</c><00:06:08.220><c> of</c><00:06:08.439><c> this?</c>

00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:10.120
These<00:06:08.740><c> are</c><00:06:08.879><c> good</c><00:06:09.079><c> questions.</c>

00:06:10.399 --> 00:06:12.439
Maybe<00:06:10.620><c> you</c><00:06:10.779><c> can</c><00:06:10.920><c> help</c><00:06:11.139><c> to</c><00:06:11.439><c> participate</c><00:06:11.839><c> in</c><00:06:11.980><c> the</c><00:06:12.139><c> answer.</c>

00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.740
You<00:06:40.899><c> can</c><00:06:41.120><c> sort</c><00:06:41.240><c> of</c><00:06:41.459><c> see</c><00:06:41.800><c> how</c><00:06:42.720><c> these</c><00:06:43.040><c> Jews</c><00:06:43.279><c> were</c><00:06:43.500><c> working.</c>

00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.620

And<00:12:42.590><c> this</c><00:12:42.750><c> is</c><00:12:42.889><c> very</c><00:12:43.129><c> early</c><00:12:43.370><c> on.</c><00:12:43.570><c> It's</c><00:12:43.629><c> only</c><00:12:43.830><c> Acts</c><00:12:44.090><c> chapter</c><00:12:44.429><c> 6.</c>

00:12:44.970 --> 00:12:47.070
This<00:12:45.149><c> is</c><00:12:45.289><c> even</c><00:12:45.450><c> before</c><00:12:45.769><c> Stephen's</c><00:12:46.269><c> death.</c>

00:12:47.730 --> 00:12:51.370
So<00:12:47.929><c> here</c><00:12:48.169><c> in</c><00:12:48.269><c> the</c><00:12:48.409><c> Ecclesia,</c><00:12:49.429><c> those</c><00:12:49.730><c> Jews</c><00:12:50.029><c> that</c><00:12:50.230><c> were</c><00:12:50.629><c> Hellenistic,</c>

00:12:51.649 --> 00:12:55.730
from<00:12:52.190><c> the</c><00:12:52.769><c> frontiers,</c><00:12:53.409><c> from</c><00:12:53.629><c> other</c><00:12:53.830><c> areas</c><00:12:54.149><c> outside</c><00:12:54.590><c> of</c><00:12:54.769><c> Israel,</c>

00:12:56.309 --> 00:12:57.750
were<00:12:56.470><c> being</c><00:12:56.710><c> discriminated</c><00:12:57.269><c> against.</c>

00:12:57.750 --> 00:13:01.210
So<00:12:58.009><c> yes,</c><00:12:58.549><c> in</c><00:12:58.649><c> answer</c><00:12:58.870><c> to</c><00:12:59.009><c> your</c><00:12:59.190><c> question,</c><00:13:00.289><c> from</c><00:13:00.490><c> place</c><00:13:00.730><c> to</c><00:13:00.889><c> place,</c>

00:13:01.250 --> 00:13:03.950
there<00:13:01.350><c> would</c><00:13:01.529><c> have</c><00:13:01.690><c> been</c><00:13:02.389><c> Gentile</c><00:13:02.970><c> believers</c><00:13:03.450><c> that</c><00:13:03.769><c> would</c>

00:13:03.950 --> 00:13:05.250
have<00:13:04.090><c> felt</c><00:13:04.190><c> rejected.</c>

00:13:05.769 --> 00:13:09.269
Did<00:13:05.870><c> they</c><00:13:06.210><c> resist</c><00:13:06.990><c> Christianity</c><00:13:07.750><c> because</c><00:13:08.289><c> of</c><00:13:08.490><c> this?</c>

00:13:09.610 --> 00:13:12.929
Well,<00:13:10.269><c> I'm</c><00:13:10.549><c> sure</c><00:13:10.809><c> for</c><00:13:11.110><c> some</c><00:13:11.309><c> Gentiles,</c><00:13:11.909><c> like</c><00:13:12.190><c> some</c><00:13:12.470><c> Ephesians</c>

00:13:12.929 --> 00:13:14.250
in<00:13:13.129><c> the</c><00:13:13.370><c> society,</c>

00:13:14.629 --> 00:13:20.330
they<00:13:14.889><c> would</c><00:13:15.090><c> have</c><00:13:15.330><c> seen</c><00:13:15.590><c> Christianity</c><00:13:16.250><c> as</c><00:13:16.570><c> being</c><00:13:16.789><c> simply</c><00:13:17.129><c> another</c><00:13:18.070><c> brand</c><00:13:18.549><c> of</c><00:13:19.429><c> Judaism,</c>

00:13:20.769 --> 00:13:22.149
in<00:13:20.929><c> many</c><00:13:21.149><c> ways.</c>

00:13:22.330 --> 00:13:25.370
And<00:13:22.450><c> some</c><00:13:22.629><c> of</c><00:13:22.730><c> them,</c><00:13:23.110><c> what</c><00:13:23.149><c> their</c><00:13:23.370><c> feelings</c><00:13:23.730><c> towards</c><00:13:24.129><c> the</c><00:13:24.409><c> Jews</c><00:13:24.629><c> and</c><00:13:24.889><c> Judaism,</c>

00:13:25.370 --> 00:13:30.309
some<00:13:26.230><c> of</c><00:13:26.350><c> them</c><00:13:26.429><c> might</c><00:13:26.610><c> have</c><00:13:26.830><c> really</c><00:13:27.129><c> been</c><00:13:27.289><c> very</c><00:13:27.690><c> cautious</c><00:13:28.009><c> about</c><00:13:28.269><c> getting</c><00:13:28.549><c> interested</c><00:13:29.049><c> in</c><00:13:29.289><c> Christianity</c>

00:13:30.370 --> 00:13:32.149
because<00:13:30.809><c> of</c><00:13:30.990><c> that</c><00:13:31.190><c> prejudice.</c>

00:13:32.970 --> 00:13:36.129
Unless<00:13:33.149><c> they</c><00:13:33.350><c> looked</c><00:13:33.490><c> into</c><00:13:33.750><c> it</c><00:13:33.990><c> carefully</c><00:13:34.289><c> and</c><00:13:34.389><c> their</c><00:13:34.610><c> attitude</c><00:13:34.950><c> was</c><00:13:35.210><c> right,</c>

00:13:36.289 --> 00:13:39.009
they<00:13:36.610><c> may</c><00:13:36.870><c> have</c><00:13:37.049><c> indeed</c><00:13:37.409><c> turned</c><00:13:37.690><c> their</c><00:13:37.870><c> back</c><00:13:38.090><c> on</c><00:13:38.289><c> it.</c>

00:13:39.529 --> 00:13:41.090
So<00:13:39.669><c> I</c><00:13:39.669><c> think</c><00:13:39.750><c> that's</c><00:13:39.929><c> a</c><00:13:39.990><c> good</c><00:13:40.129><c> question,</c><00:13:40.509><c> and</c><00:13:40.669><c> it's</c><00:13:40.870><c> relevant</c>

00:13:41.090 --> 00:13:42.769
to<00:13:41.230><c> what</c><00:13:41.330><c> we're</c><00:13:41.549><c> talking</c><00:13:41.809><c> about,</c>

00:13:43.269 --> 00:13:45.210
that<00:13:43.350><c> the</c><00:13:43.529><c> mystery</c><00:13:43.809><c> has</c><00:13:44.009><c> been</c><00:13:44.230><c> revealed.</c>

00:13:46.409 --> 00:13:48.370
Another<00:13:46.629><c> one</c><00:13:46.830><c> here.</c><00:13:47.250><c> In</c><00:13:47.350><c> the</c><00:13:47.549><c> readings</c><00:13:47.769><c> the</c><00:13:47.970><c> other</c><00:13:48.169><c> day,</c>

00:13:48.429 --> 00:13:52.850
we<00:13:48.549><c> read</c><00:13:48.769><c> that</c><00:13:48.990><c> David</c><00:13:49.289><c> tried</c><00:13:50.330><c> on</c><00:13:51.190><c> Saul's</c><00:13:52.129><c> brass</c><00:13:52.470><c> armor,</c>

00:13:52.850 --> 00:13:58.350
but<00:13:53.070><c> that</c><00:13:53.269><c> it</c><00:13:53.350><c> was</c><00:13:54.049><c> too</c><00:13:54.450><c> big,</c><00:13:56.070><c> and</c><00:13:56.190><c> brass,</c><00:13:56.970><c> which</c><00:13:57.070><c> is</c><00:13:57.450><c> flesh.</c>

00:13:59.769 --> 00:14:05.870
Could<00:13:59.990><c> David</c><00:14:00.590><c> put</c><00:14:01.549><c> on</c><00:14:01.789><c> the</c><00:14:02.029><c> brass,</c><00:14:04.169><c> be</c><00:14:04.330><c> like</c><00:14:04.549><c> us</c><00:14:04.870><c> going</c><00:14:05.330><c> into</c>

00:14:05.870 --> 00:14:06.809
the<00:14:06.110><c> world,</c>

00:14:07.289 --> 00:14:11.350
realizing<00:14:07.789><c> the</c><00:14:08.649><c> loads</c><00:14:08.889><c> are</c><00:14:09.149><c> too</c><00:14:09.409><c> heavy,</c><00:14:10.230><c> realizing</c><00:14:10.610><c> the</c><00:14:10.990><c> truth,</c>

00:14:11.690 --> 00:14:14.049
and<00:14:11.909><c> taking</c><00:14:12.169><c> off</c><00:14:12.450><c> the</c><00:14:12.690><c> brass</c><00:14:12.990><c> and</c><00:14:13.190><c> being</c><00:14:13.450><c> baptized,</c>

00:14:14.129 --> 00:14:16.669
or<00:14:14.330><c> in</c><00:14:14.470><c> a</c><00:14:14.570><c> way</c><00:14:14.750><c> showing</c><00:14:15.190><c> that</c><00:14:15.629><c> David</c><00:14:15.830><c> got</c><00:14:16.110><c> baptized?</c>

00:14:17.029 --> 00:14:19.169
That's<00:14:17.330><c> a</c><00:14:17.370><c> rather</c><00:14:17.490><c> interesting</c><00:14:18.029><c> question.</c>

00:14:21.490 --> 00:14:24.610
David<00:14:21.909><c> takes</c><00:14:22.330><c> on</c><00:14:22.590><c> the</c><00:14:22.789><c> armor,</c><00:14:23.250><c> puts</c><00:14:23.429><c> it</c><00:14:23.669><c> off.</c>

00:14:25.070 --> 00:14:27.549
Says<00:14:25.250><c> that</c><00:14:25.409><c> he</c><00:14:25.470><c> doesn't</c><00:14:25.750><c> need</c><00:14:25.950><c> it</c><00:14:26.190><c> or</c><00:14:26.330><c> it</c><00:14:26.470><c> doesn't</c><00:14:26.649><c> fit.</c>

00:14:27.710 --> 00:14:30.210
After<00:14:27.850><c> all,</c><00:14:28.049><c> that's</c><00:14:28.230><c> not</c><00:14:28.429><c> what</c><00:14:28.509><c> he</c><00:14:28.669><c> used</c><00:14:28.850><c> anyways</c><00:14:29.269><c> when</c><00:14:29.470><c> he</c>

00:14:30.210 --> 00:14:31.870
dealt<00:14:30.330><c> with</c><00:14:30.509><c> the</c><00:14:30.690><c> lion</c><00:14:30.889><c> and</c><00:14:31.029><c> the</c><00:14:31.190><c> bear.</c>

00:14:33.169 --> 00:14:34.549
That's<00:14:33.429><c> an</c><00:14:33.629><c> interesting</c><00:14:34.029><c> suggestion.</c>

00:14:34.629 --> 00:14:37.090
I<00:14:34.710><c> think</c><00:14:34.850><c> we</c><00:14:35.009><c> should</c><00:14:35.129><c> be</c><00:14:35.330><c> looking</c><00:14:35.549><c> for</c><00:14:35.870><c> things</c><00:14:36.149><c> like</c><00:14:36.490><c> that.</c>

00:14:37.470 --> 00:14:42.190
Personally,<00:14:37.909><c> I</c><00:14:38.090><c> don't</c><00:14:38.350><c> see</c><00:14:38.870><c> myself,</c><00:14:39.610><c> in</c><00:14:39.929><c> that</c><00:14:40.169><c> case,</c><00:14:40.649><c> a</c><00:14:40.870><c> parallel</c><00:14:41.269><c> with</c>

00:14:42.190 --> 00:14:43.289
the<00:14:42.470><c> armor.</c>

00:14:44.490 --> 00:14:46.710
The<00:14:44.690><c> fact</c><00:14:44.870><c> that</c><00:14:45.070><c> David</c><00:14:45.269><c> doesn't</c><00:14:45.549><c> actually</c><00:14:45.909><c> keep</c><00:14:46.110><c> it</c><00:14:46.330><c> on</c><00:14:46.529><c> but</c>

00:14:46.710 --> 00:14:47.529
puts<00:14:46.889><c> it</c><00:14:47.110><c> off,</c>

00:14:47.529 --> 00:14:51.409
the<00:14:48.029><c> fact</c><00:14:48.230><c> that</c><00:14:48.409><c> he</c><00:14:48.690><c> discards</c><00:14:49.070><c> it</c><00:14:49.330><c> and</c><00:14:49.490><c> says</c><00:14:49.710><c> he</c><00:14:49.809><c> doesn't</c><00:14:50.129><c> need</c><00:14:50.330><c> it,</c>

00:14:51.450 --> 00:14:54.149
is<00:14:51.590><c> what</c><00:14:51.730><c> I</c><00:14:51.929><c> wouldn't</c><00:14:52.110><c> be</c><00:14:52.389><c> looking</c><00:14:52.610><c> for</c><00:14:52.889><c> if</c><00:14:52.970><c> it</c><00:14:53.090><c> was</c><00:14:53.269><c> a</c><00:14:53.389><c> type</c><00:14:53.570><c> of</c><00:14:53.809><c> baptism.</c>

00:14:54.210 --> 00:14:57.549
He<00:14:54.409><c> would</c><00:14:54.649><c> need</c><00:14:54.789><c> it,</c><00:14:55.129><c> he</c><00:14:55.289><c> would</c><00:14:55.490><c> want</c><00:14:55.649><c> to</c><00:14:55.769><c> put</c><00:14:55.850><c> it</c><00:14:55.990><c> on,</c><00:14:56.129><c> and</c><00:14:56.250><c> he'd</c><00:14:56.450><c> keep</c><00:14:56.570><c> it</c><00:14:56.750><c> on.</c>

00:14:58.250 --> 00:15:01.269
I<00:14:58.649><c> think</c><00:14:58.830><c> we</c><00:14:59.009><c> should</c><00:14:59.149><c> be</c><00:14:59.370><c> looking</c><00:14:59.649><c> for</c><00:15:00.049><c> secondary</c><00:15:00.830><c> meanings</c>

00:20:10.309 --> 00:20:12.869
I<00:20:10.710><c> think</c><00:20:10.849><c> that's</c><00:20:11.410><c> very</c><00:20:11.650><c> nicely</c><00:20:11.950><c> put.</c>

00:20:19.849 --> 00:20:20.150
Yes.

00:20:20.369 --> 00:20:22.670
Marriage<00:20:20.930><c> is</c><00:20:21.250><c> an</c><00:20:21.410><c> extremely</c><00:20:21.769><c> important</c><00:20:22.289><c> decision.</c>

that<00:22:42.230><c> God</c><00:22:42.410><c> will</c><00:22:42.630><c> bless</c><00:22:42.789><c> us</c><00:22:43.029><c> in</c><00:22:43.170><c> finding</c><00:22:43.390><c> the</c><00:22:43.509><c> right</c><00:22:43.769><c> spouse.</c>

00:22:46.190 --> 00:22:48.470
If<00:22:46.289><c> we've</c><00:22:46.470><c> really</c><00:22:46.690><c> got</c><00:22:46.869><c> a</c><00:22:47.049><c> crush</c><00:22:47.230><c> on</c><00:22:47.430><c> somebody,</c>

00:22:48.670 --> 00:22:51.829
this<00:22:48.950><c> goes</c><00:22:49.190><c> back,</c><00:22:49.569><c> I</c><00:22:49.789><c> think,</c><00:22:50.609><c> to</c><00:22:51.170><c> Becky's</c><00:22:51.589><c> point,</c>

00:22:52.109 --> 00:22:53.569
if<00:22:52.230><c> we've</c><00:22:52.390><c> really</c><00:22:52.589><c> got</c><00:22:52.750><c> a</c><00:22:52.930><c> crush</c><00:22:53.109><c> on</c><00:22:53.349><c> somebody,</c>

00:22:53.589 --> 00:22:55.289
and<00:22:53.710><c> we</c><00:22:53.809><c> really</c><00:22:54.089><c> do</c><00:22:54.329><c> like</c><00:22:54.509><c> them</c><00:22:54.730><c> a</c><00:22:54.910><c> lot,</c>

00:22:55.450 --> 00:22:57.809
we<00:22:55.750><c> do</c><00:22:56.130><c> think</c><00:22:56.309><c> that</c><00:22:56.430><c> they</c><00:22:56.569><c> would</c><00:22:56.690><c> be</c><00:22:56.829><c> a</c><00:22:56.950><c> good</c><00:22:57.150><c> candidate</c>

00:23:01.049 --> 00:23:02.849
then<00:23:01.269><c> certainly</c><00:23:01.609><c> you</c><00:23:01.730><c> would</c><00:23:01.890><c> bring</c><00:23:02.049><c> that</c><00:23:02.250><c> up</c><00:23:02.390><c> in</c><00:23:02.650><c> prayer.</c>

00:23:03.170 --> 00:23:04.690
You're<00:23:03.509><c> concerned</c><00:23:03.890><c> about</c><00:23:04.170><c> it.</c>

00:23:04.869 --> 00:23:07.349
You're<00:23:05.309><c> asking</c><00:23:05.690><c> for</c><00:23:06.549><c> God's</c><00:23:07.190><c> help,</c>

00:23:07.349 --> 00:23:10.450

00:23:10.450 --> 00:23:13.089
that<00:23:10.470><c> you</c><00:23:11.470><c> would</c><00:23:11.710><c> say,</c><00:23:12.170><c> you</c><00:23:12.349><c> know,</c><00:23:12.630><c> in</c><00:23:12.809><c> prayer,</c>

00:23:13.349 --> 00:23:15.630
I<00:23:13.369><c> am</c><00:23:13.690><c> considering</c><00:23:14.069><c> this</c><00:23:14.329><c> person,</c><00:23:14.690><c> I</c><00:23:14.829><c> like</c><00:23:15.029><c> them</c><00:23:15.170><c> a</c><00:23:15.289><c> lot.</c>

00:23:15.950 --> 00:23:17.390
Much<00:23:16.109><c> you</c><00:23:16.250><c> might</c><00:23:16.450><c> be</c><00:23:16.710><c> asking</c><00:23:16.950><c> for</c><00:23:17.210><c> is,</c>

00:23:17.630 --> 00:23:19.589
please<00:23:17.650><c> guide</c><00:23:18.009><c> me</c><00:23:18.269><c> in</c><00:23:18.390><c> making</c><00:23:18.609><c> the</c><00:23:18.809><c> right</c><00:23:19.009><c> decision,</c>

00:23:22.109 --> 00:23:24.109
Perhaps<00:23:22.470><c> it</c><00:23:22.630><c> should</c><00:23:22.750><c> be</c><00:23:22.890><c> just</c><00:23:23.049><c> a</c><00:23:23.130><c> little</c><00:23:23.289><c> broader,</c>

00:23:28.190 --> 00:23:30.009
Yes,<00:23:29.210><c> Martha.</c>

00:23:31.210 --> 00:23:40.650
Yes,<00:23:39.609><c> if</c><00:23:39.730><c> you,</c><00:23:40.009><c> we're</c><00:23:40.130><c> not</c><00:23:40.369><c> worried,</c>

00:23:40.750 --> 00:23:43.109
and<00:23:40.829><c> we're</c><00:23:40.970><c> not</c><00:23:41.109><c> getting</c><00:23:41.349><c> hung</c><00:23:41.589><c> up</c><00:23:41.730><c> with</c><00:23:41.930><c> words</c><00:23:42.230><c> here.</c>

00:23:43.589 --> 00:23:44.970
God<00:23:43.789><c> does</c><00:23:44.089><c> know</c><00:23:44.230><c> what's</c><00:23:44.450><c> in</c><00:23:44.529><c> our</c><00:23:44.769><c> heart.</c>

00:23:45.089 --> 00:23:46.990
He<00:23:45.130><c> does</c><00:23:45.450><c> know,</c><00:23:46.150><c> and</c><00:23:46.289><c> He</c><00:23:46.390><c> does</c><00:23:46.609><c> help</c>

00:23:46.990 --> 00:23:49.289
when<00:23:47.309><c> we</c><00:23:47.549><c> don't</c><00:23:47.869><c> always</c><00:23:48.269><c> express</c><00:23:48.650><c> it</c><00:23:48.950><c> clearly,</c>

00:23:49.609 --> 00:23:52.430
and<00:23:50.029><c> also</c><00:23:50.289><c> when</c><00:23:50.369><c> we</c><00:23:50.470><c> don't</c><00:23:50.630><c> know</c><00:23:50.730><c> what's</c><00:23:50.990><c> best</c><00:23:51.170><c> for</c><00:23:51.390><c> ourselves.</c>

00:23:52.549 --> 00:23:54.430
But<00:23:52.809><c> thinking</c><00:23:53.069><c> about</c><00:23:53.390><c> what</c><00:23:53.569><c> we're</c><00:23:53.910><c> praying</c><00:23:54.089><c> for</c>

00:23:56.390 --> 00:23:58.809
is<00:23:56.869><c> nevertheless</c><00:23:57.430><c> important.</c>

00:23:59.390 --> 00:23:59.490
Whenever<00:23:59.490><c> we're</c><00:23:59.490><c> praying</c><00:23:59.490><c> for</c><00:23:59.490><c> something,</c>

00:23:59.490 --> 00:24:01.089
we're<00:23:59.490><c> never</c><00:23:59.650><c> going</c><00:23:59.809><c> to</c><00:23:59.890><c> say</c><00:24:00.009><c> it</c><00:24:00.190><c> perfectly,</c>

00:24:01.170 --> 00:24:02.970
and<00:24:01.170><c> the</c><00:24:01.309><c> Lord</c><00:24:01.470><c> is</c><00:24:01.710><c> not</c><00:24:01.869><c> hung</c><00:24:02.069><c> up</c><00:24:02.230><c> on</c><00:24:02.369><c> our</c><00:24:02.589><c> words.</c>

00:24:03.430 --> 00:24:06.869
But<00:24:03.589><c> thinking</c><00:24:03.930><c> about</c><00:24:04.289><c> what</c><00:24:04.630><c> we're</c><00:24:04.930><c> praying</c><00:24:05.150><c> for</c><00:24:05.630><c> beforehand,</c>

00:24:06.970 --> 00:24:09.009
thinking<00:24:07.250><c> about</c><00:24:07.609><c> what</c><00:24:07.890><c> we're</c><00:24:08.049><c> going</c><00:24:08.170><c> to</c><00:24:08.289><c> say</c><00:24:08.430><c> in</c><00:24:08.730><c> prayer</c>

00:24:09.009 --> 00:24:11.869
is<00:24:09.650><c> preparation,</c><00:24:10.329><c> and</c><00:24:10.490><c> that's</c><00:24:10.869><c> important.</c>

00:24:11.890 --> 00:24:13.849
When<00:24:12.029><c> the</c><00:24:12.349><c> incense</c><00:24:12.609><c> was</c><00:24:12.890><c> offered</c><00:24:13.170><c> under</c><00:24:13.410><c> the</c><00:24:13.569><c> law,</c>

00:24:14.289 --> 00:24:15.329
which<00:24:14.509><c> represented</c><00:24:14.990><c> prayer,</c>

00:24:15.430 --> 00:24:17.730
there<00:24:15.549><c> was</c><00:24:15.710><c> a</c><00:24:15.869><c> very</c><00:24:16.230><c> careful</c><00:24:16.529><c> preparation</c><00:24:17.029><c> of</c><00:24:17.190><c> that</c><00:24:17.390><c> incense.</c>

00:24:18.089 --> 00:24:21.569
Thought<00:24:18.329><c> was</c><00:24:18.569><c> given</c><00:24:18.950><c> as</c><00:24:19.509><c> to</c><00:24:19.589><c> how</c><00:24:19.750><c> the</c><00:24:20.009><c> incense</c><00:24:20.269><c> was</c><00:24:20.450><c> put</c><00:24:20.630><c> together.</c>

00:24:21.589 --> 00:24:24.190
Thought<00:24:21.809><c> was</c><00:24:22.089><c> given</c><00:24:22.329><c> as</c><00:24:22.569><c> to</c><00:24:22.690><c> how</c><00:24:22.890><c> the</c><00:24:23.130><c> incense</c><00:24:23.410><c> was</c><00:24:23.710><c> prepared,</c>

00:24:24.630 --> 00:24:26.829
and<00:24:24.809><c> how</c><00:24:24.930><c> it</c><00:24:25.049><c> was</c><00:24:25.309><c> milled,</c><00:24:25.809><c> and</c><00:24:25.970><c> how</c><00:24:26.069><c> it</c><00:24:26.170><c> was</c><00:24:26.410><c> combined.</c>

00:24:26.829 --> 00:24:28.589
Now,<00:24:27.509><c> we're</c><00:24:27.630><c> not</c><00:24:27.930><c> perfectionists,</c>

00:24:28.650 --> 00:24:30.470
and<00:24:28.750><c> God's</c><00:24:29.089><c> not</c><00:24:29.309><c> expecting</c><00:24:29.630><c> the</c><00:24:29.910><c> exact</c><00:24:30.190><c> words</c>

00:24:30.470 --> 00:24:31.569
or<00:24:30.609><c> anything</c><00:24:30.890><c> like</c><00:24:31.170><c> that,</c>

00:24:31.930 --> 00:24:33.769
but<00:24:32.130><c> I</c><00:24:32.230><c> think</c><00:24:32.369><c> the</c><00:24:32.509><c> lesson</c><00:24:32.750><c> of</c><00:24:32.930><c> the</c><00:24:33.130><c> incense</c><00:24:33.390><c> is</c>

00:24:33.769 --> 00:24:36.069
thought<00:24:34.069><c> and</c><00:24:34.349><c> preparation</c><00:24:34.789><c> should</c><00:24:35.089><c> go</c><00:24:35.250><c> into</c><00:24:35.509><c> our</c><00:24:35.769><c> prayers.</c>

00:24:36.410 --> 00:24:38.670
That<00:24:36.549><c> is</c><00:24:36.750><c> especially</c><00:24:37.150><c> ones</c><00:24:37.690><c> that</c><00:24:38.170><c> we</c><00:24:38.289><c> have</c><00:24:38.450><c> time</c>

00:24:38.670 --> 00:24:40.509
to<00:24:38.829><c> really</c><00:24:39.049><c> think</c><00:24:39.210><c> about</c><00:24:39.390><c> and</c><00:24:39.750><c> consider.</c>

00:24:41.369 --> 00:24:44.630
So<00:24:41.769><c> I</c><00:24:41.930><c> think</c><00:24:42.109><c> there's</c><00:24:42.369><c> a</c><00:24:42.549><c> balance</c><00:24:42.849><c> here</c><00:24:43.069><c> across</c><00:24:43.470><c> the</c><00:24:43.769><c> room.</c>

00:24:45.109 --> 00:24:48.049
Praying<00:24:45.470><c> for</c><00:24:45.930><c> anything</c><00:24:46.349><c> is</c><00:24:47.009><c> important.</c>

00:24:48.109 --> 00:24:50.529
Nothing<00:24:48.410><c> is</c><00:24:48.630><c> too</c><00:24:48.869><c> small</c><00:24:49.309><c> for</c><00:24:49.650><c> God</c><00:24:49.910><c> to</c><00:24:50.289><c> consider.</c>

00:24:50.930 --> 00:24:53.529

00:24:53.549 --> 00:24:55.009
Bring<00:24:53.769><c> it</c><00:24:53.930><c> up</c><00:24:54.009><c> to</c><00:24:54.170><c> God</c><00:24:54.390><c> in</c><00:24:54.670><c> prayer,</c>

The<00:25:05.849><c> ultimate</c><00:25:06.230><c> one</c><00:25:06.509><c> is</c>

00:25:54.369 --> 00:25:55.390
Yes.

00:26:00.769 --> 00:26:01.549
Right.

and<00:29:57.869><c> they</c><00:29:58.009><c> do</c><00:29:58.210><c> relate</c><00:29:58.470><c> to</c><00:29:58.569><c> what</c><00:29:58.730><c> we're</c><00:29:58.910><c> doing</c><00:29:59.029><c> anyways</c>

00:29:59.450 --> 00:30:00.890
in<00:29:59.609><c> Ephesians,</c>

00:30:02.630 --> 00:30:03.849
because<00:30:02.990><c> yesterday,</c>

00:30:04.609 --> 00:30:06.849
this<00:30:04.829><c> ties</c><00:30:05.069><c> in</c><00:30:05.230><c> with</c><00:30:05.329><c> what</c><00:30:05.470><c> we</c><00:30:05.589><c> just</c><00:30:05.829><c> read.</c>

00:30:09.329 --> 00:30:11.769
Yesterday,<00:30:09.869><c> we</c><00:30:10.109><c> were</c><00:30:10.329><c> looking</c>

00:30:15.250 --> 00:30:17.990
at<00:30:15.769><c> our</c><00:30:16.109><c> walk</c><00:30:16.509><c> in</c><00:30:16.829><c> the</c><00:30:17.109><c> truth,</c>

00:30:18.250 --> 00:30:20.710
and<00:30:18.670><c> at</c><00:30:18.849><c> Ephesians,</c><00:30:19.509><c> as</c><00:30:19.690><c> we</c><00:30:19.869><c> saw</c><00:30:20.130><c> yesterday,</c>

00:30:20.849 --> 00:30:23.329
puts<00:30:21.009><c> a</c><00:30:21.130><c> lot</c><00:30:21.289><c> of</c><00:30:21.529><c> stress</c><00:30:21.730><c> on</c><00:30:21.910><c> the</c><00:30:22.049><c> way</c><00:30:22.170><c> we</c><00:30:22.470><c> walk.</c>

00:30:24.329 --> 00:30:27.190
Yesterday,<00:30:24.769><c> we</c><00:30:25.049><c> noticed</c><00:30:25.609><c> that</c><00:30:26.230><c> the</c><00:30:26.410><c> word</c><00:30:26.630><c> walk</c>

00:30:27.190 --> 00:30:29.109
in<00:30:27.509><c> Ephesians</c><00:30:28.049><c> is</c><00:30:28.329><c> used</c><00:30:28.630><c> about,</c>

00:30:29.349 --> 00:30:31.369
I<00:30:29.509><c> don't</c><00:30:29.609><c> know,</c><00:30:29.710><c> did</c><00:30:29.809><c> anyone</c><00:30:29.950><c> make</c><00:30:30.170><c> a</c><00:30:30.329><c> list</c><00:30:30.470><c> there?</c>

00:30:31.470 --> 00:30:35.130
Six<00:30:31.730><c> or</c><00:30:31.930><c> seven</c><00:30:32.269><c> times,</c><00:30:32.849><c> Ephesians</c><00:30:33.369><c> refers</c><00:30:33.789><c> to</c><00:30:34.029><c> our</c><00:30:34.250><c> walk.</c>

00:30:36.190 --> 00:30:38.609
Six,<00:30:36.910><c> thank</c><00:30:37.170><c> you.</c>

00:30:39.710 --> 00:30:43.710
And<00:30:40.049><c> here,</c><00:30:42.390><c> we</c><00:30:42.730><c> are</c><00:30:43.029><c> not</c><00:30:43.230><c> to</c><00:30:43.490><c> walk</c>

00:30:43.710 --> 00:30:45.769
as<00:30:43.890><c> other</c><00:30:44.170><c> Gentiles</c><00:30:44.809><c> walk.</c>

00:30:45.890 --> 00:30:47.849
Now,<00:30:46.430><c> that's</c><00:30:46.789><c> what</c><00:30:46.910><c> we</c><00:30:47.049><c> just</c><00:30:47.289><c> read,</c><00:30:47.589><c> isn't</c><00:30:47.750><c> it,</c>

00:30:47.849 --> 00:30:49.029
from<00:30:48.049><c> Genesis?</c>

00:30:49.490 --> 00:30:51.470
Isn't<00:30:49.650><c> that</c><00:30:49.930><c> Abraham's</c><00:30:50.569><c> concern?</c>

00:30:52.190 --> 00:30:54.890
What's<00:30:52.529><c> Abraham</c><00:30:52.930><c> saying</c><00:30:53.230><c> to</c><00:30:53.549><c> his</c><00:30:53.670><c> servant</c><00:30:53.869><c> Eliezer?</c>

00:30:55.710 --> 00:30:58.289
I<00:30:56.349><c> want</c><00:30:56.690><c> you</c><00:30:57.130><c> to</c><00:30:57.250><c> be</c><00:30:57.450><c> very</c><00:30:57.910><c> careful.</c>

00:30:58.430 --> 00:31:02.349
Now,<00:30:58.650><c> Eliezer,</c><00:30:59.470><c> listen</c><00:30:59.730><c> to</c><00:30:59.950><c> me.</c>

00:31:02.569 --> 00:31:06.250
And<00:31:03.269><c> you</c><00:31:03.690><c> are</c><00:31:03.910><c> to</c><00:31:03.990><c> find</c><00:31:04.210><c> a</c><00:31:04.390><c> daughter</c><00:31:04.789><c> for</c><00:31:05.210><c> Isaac,</c>

00:31:06.329 --> 00:31:08.549
not<00:31:06.549><c> of</c><00:31:06.849><c> the</c><00:31:06.930><c> daughters</c><00:31:07.309><c> of</c><00:31:07.670><c> Canaan.</c>

00:31:09.410 --> 00:31:12.529
You<00:31:09.509><c> are</c><00:31:09.829><c> not</c><00:31:10.150><c> to</c><00:31:10.329><c> find</c><00:31:10.549><c> somebody</c><00:31:10.990><c> out</c><00:31:11.309><c> of</c><00:31:11.430><c> the</c><00:31:11.670><c> truth.</c>

00:31:12.869 --> 00:31:17.369
You<00:31:13.089><c> must</c><00:31:13.750><c> go</c><00:31:13.990><c> back</c><00:31:14.549><c> to</c><00:31:14.910><c> our</c><00:31:15.130><c> family</c><00:31:15.549><c> roots</c><00:31:15.930><c> in</c><00:31:16.250><c> Haran.</c>

00:31:17.690 --> 00:31:18.730
Why?

00:31:19.069 --> 00:31:23.349
Because<00:31:19.750><c> Abraham</c><00:31:20.450><c> knew</c><00:31:21.029><c> that</c><00:31:21.890><c> he</c><00:31:22.049><c> did</c><00:31:22.309><c> not</c><00:31:22.549><c> want</c><00:31:22.690><c> his</c><00:31:23.009><c> son</c>

00:31:23.349 --> 00:31:27.390
and<00:31:23.990><c> his</c><00:31:24.289><c> grandchildren</c><00:31:24.910><c> to</c><00:31:25.210><c> walk</c><00:31:25.490><c> as</c><00:31:25.630><c> other</c><00:31:25.910><c> Gentiles</c><00:31:26.450><c> walk.</c>

00:31:27.849 --> 00:31:29.450
It's<00:31:28.150><c> the</c><00:31:28.309><c> same</c><00:31:28.569><c> point.</c>

00:31:29.549 --> 00:31:31.650
He<00:31:30.029><c> wanted</c><00:31:30.369><c> Isaac</c><00:31:30.769><c> to</c><00:31:31.009><c> find</c><00:31:31.190><c> a</c><00:31:31.410><c> wife,</c>

00:31:31.690 --> 00:31:34.450
so<00:31:31.930><c> the</c><00:31:32.130><c> two</c><00:31:32.289><c> of</c><00:31:32.390><c> them</c><00:31:32.470><c> would</c><00:31:32.650><c> be</c><00:31:32.950><c> equally</c><00:31:33.349><c> yoked.</c>

00:31:34.930 --> 00:31:36.369
That's<00:31:35.210><c> Paul's</c><00:31:35.609><c> point</c><00:31:35.750><c> in</c><00:31:36.009><c> Corinthians,</c>

00:31:36.509 --> 00:31:38.789
be<00:31:36.890><c> equally</c><00:31:37.369><c> yoked.</c>

00:31:38.990 --> 00:31:41.569
So<00:31:39.450><c> it's</c><00:31:39.809><c> hard</c><00:31:39.950><c> to</c><00:31:40.190><c> be</c><00:31:40.450><c> equally</c><00:31:40.829><c> yoked</c>

00:31:41.589 --> 00:31:44.069
if,<00:31:41.769><c> in</c><00:31:41.950><c> fact,</c><00:31:42.410><c> one</c><00:31:42.609><c> of</c><00:31:42.730><c> you</c><00:31:42.829><c> is</c><00:31:42.990><c> walking</c><00:31:43.289><c> in</c><00:31:43.450><c> the</c><00:31:43.630><c> world</c>

00:31:44.069 --> 00:31:45.470
and<00:31:44.509><c> the</c><00:31:44.670><c> other</c><00:31:44.809><c> one</c><00:31:44.970><c> is</c><00:31:45.170><c> not.</c>

00:31:45.809 --> 00:31:48.049
So<00:31:46.130><c> that's</c><00:31:46.410><c> where</c><00:31:46.589><c> we</c><00:31:46.750><c> were</c><00:31:46.890><c> at</c><00:31:47.009><c> yesterday.</c>

00:31:49.930 --> 00:31:52.329
Now,<00:31:50.410><c> in</c><00:31:50.529><c> that</c><00:31:50.750><c> regard,</c><00:31:51.289><c> I</c><00:31:51.390><c> want</c><00:31:51.509><c> to</c><00:31:51.690><c> take</c><00:31:51.829><c> a</c><00:31:51.990><c> look</c>

00:31:52.329 --> 00:31:55.549
from<00:31:53.109><c> the</c><00:31:53.250><c> viewpoint</c><00:31:53.670><c> of</c><00:31:53.950><c> Ephesians</c><00:31:54.369><c> especially,</c>

00:31:55.849 --> 00:31:59.569
something<00:31:56.369><c> that</c><00:31:56.690><c> I'm</c><00:31:56.869><c> sure</c><00:31:57.109><c> we're</c><00:31:57.450><c> all</c><00:31:57.930><c> very</c><00:31:58.430><c> familiar</c><00:31:58.809><c> with.</c>

00:32:04.069 --> 00:32:07.089
Ephesians<00:32:04.529><c> deals</c><00:32:04.990><c> with</c><00:32:05.269><c> the</c><00:32:05.410><c> issue</c><00:32:05.630><c> of</c><00:32:05.910><c> peer</c><00:32:06.089><c> pressure,</c>

00:32:07.470 --> 00:32:09.970
as<00:32:07.589><c> all</c><00:32:07.869><c> scripture</c><00:32:08.170><c> does</c><00:32:08.509><c> in</c><00:32:08.690><c> one</c><00:32:08.829><c> way</c><00:32:09.029><c> or</c><00:32:09.210><c> another.</c>

00:32:11.130 --> 00:32:13.349
I<00:32:11.150><c> want</c><00:32:11.349><c> to</c><00:32:11.470><c> ask</c><00:32:11.650><c> you</c><00:32:11.809><c> some</c><00:32:12.069><c> questions.</c>

00:32:13.910 --> 00:32:18.289
Since<00:32:14.369><c> the</c><00:32:14.609><c> other</c><00:32:14.849><c> day</c><00:32:15.250><c> we</c><00:32:15.509><c> were</c><00:32:15.809><c> using</c><00:32:16.690><c> the</c><00:32:17.569><c> pedestrian</c><00:32:18.029><c> sign</c>

00:32:18.710 --> 00:32:21.009
as<00:32:19.230><c> a</c><00:32:19.410><c> symbol</c><00:32:19.609><c> of</c><00:32:19.809><c> our</c><00:32:20.069><c> walk,</c>

00:32:21.170 --> 00:32:23.029
next<00:32:21.410><c> to</c><00:32:21.630><c> all</c><00:32:21.769><c> the</c><00:32:22.029><c> passages</c><00:32:22.349><c> in</c><00:32:22.569><c> Ephesians</c>

00:32:23.029 --> 00:32:24.170
that<00:32:23.289><c> talk</c><00:32:23.470><c> about</c><00:32:23.650><c> our</c><00:32:23.910><c> walk,</c>

00:32:24.170 --> 00:32:26.150
I'm<00:32:24.690><c> going</c><00:32:24.690><c> to</c><00:32:24.789><c> use</c><00:32:24.950><c> it</c><00:32:25.089><c> again</c><00:32:25.329><c> here.</c>

00:32:26.450 --> 00:32:28.369
Only<00:32:26.609><c> this</c><00:32:26.869><c> is</c><00:32:27.150><c> not</c><00:32:27.349><c> the</c><00:32:27.569><c> pedestrian</c><00:32:27.970><c> sign.</c>

00:32:28.369 --> 00:32:30.690
It's<00:32:28.650><c> the</c><00:32:28.829><c> familiar</c><00:32:29.230><c> sign</c><00:32:29.569><c> to</c><00:32:29.809><c> yield.</c>

00:32:31.750 --> 00:32:35.210
We<00:32:31.890><c> are</c><00:32:32.069><c> very</c><00:32:32.390><c> tempted</c><00:32:32.690><c> to</c><00:32:33.049><c> yield</c><00:32:33.509><c> to</c><00:32:33.990><c> peer</c><00:32:34.190><c> pressure.</c>

00:32:36.049 --> 00:32:37.950
We<00:32:36.210><c> want</c><00:32:36.329><c> to</c><00:32:36.490><c> take</c><00:32:36.650><c> a</c><00:32:36.769><c> look</c><00:32:36.930><c> at</c><00:32:37.130><c> some</c><00:32:37.369><c> questions.</c>

00:32:38.349 --> 00:32:39.549
What<00:32:38.549><c> is</c><00:32:38.869><c> peer</c><00:32:39.089><c> pressure?</c>

00:32:39.930 --> 00:32:42.490
Where<00:32:40.230><c> is</c><00:32:40.430><c> it</c><00:32:40.650><c> found</c><00:32:40.970><c> in</c><00:32:41.130><c> our</c><00:32:41.329><c> daily</c><00:32:41.569><c> lives?</c>

00:32:42.750 --> 00:32:46.250
Who<00:32:43.029><c> usually</c><00:32:43.410><c> is</c><00:32:43.690><c> involved</c><00:32:44.309><c> in</c><00:32:44.670><c> putting</c><00:32:44.849><c> on</c><00:32:45.130><c> the</c><00:32:45.369><c> pressure?</c>

00:32:46.450 --> 00:32:49.369
And<00:32:46.769><c> why</c><00:32:47.250><c> do</c><00:32:47.369><c> those</c><00:32:47.650><c> people</c><00:32:47.970><c> put</c><00:32:48.130><c> on</c><00:32:48.329><c> the</c><00:32:48.549><c> pressure?</c>

00:32:51.250 --> 00:32:54.730
Then<00:32:51.710><c> we</c><00:32:51.849><c> want</c><00:32:51.970><c> to</c><00:32:52.130><c> take</c><00:32:52.269><c> a</c><00:32:52.430><c> look,</c><00:32:52.829><c> from</c><00:32:53.069><c> Ephesians</c><00:32:53.569><c> especially,</c>

00:32:55.130 --> 00:32:57.809
how<00:32:55.509><c> not</c><00:32:56.029><c> to</c><00:32:56.329><c> yield</c><00:32:56.650><c> to</c><00:32:57.069><c> peer</c><00:32:57.309><c> pressure.</c>

00:32:57.990 --> 00:32:59.849
What<00:32:58.250><c> are</c><00:32:58.549><c> the</c><00:32:58.710><c> secrets</c><00:32:59.049><c> of</c><00:32:59.309><c> success?</c>

00:32:59.970 --> 00:33:01.210

00:33:01.569 --> 00:33:03.089
And<00:33:01.769><c> although</c><00:33:01.910><c> we</c><00:33:02.069><c> can</c><00:33:02.170><c> go</c><00:33:02.329><c> all</c><00:33:02.529><c> over</c><00:33:02.769><c> scripture,</c>

00:33:03.170 --> 00:33:05.230

00:33:05.230 --> 00:33:07.450
where<00:33:05.410><c> there</c><00:33:05.589><c> are</c><00:33:05.750><c> some</c><00:33:05.950><c> answers</c><00:33:06.289><c> and</c><00:33:06.470><c> some</c><00:33:06.690><c> helps.</c>

00:33:07.589 --> 00:33:09.470
Let's<00:33:07.769><c> go</c><00:33:07.930><c> back</c><00:33:08.150><c> to</c><00:33:08.309><c> our</c><00:33:08.509><c> question.</c>

00:33:10.410 --> 00:33:11.829
What<00:33:10.789><c> is</c><00:33:11.190><c> peer</c><00:33:11.450><c> pressure?</c>

00:33:11.950 --> 00:33:13.990
Someone<00:33:12.150><c> explain</c><00:33:12.569><c> it</c><00:33:12.829><c> concisely.</c>

00:33:14.509 --> 00:33:14.849
Yes?

00:33:14.849 --> 00:33:27.809
Student<00:33:15.650><c> asking</c><00:33:19.789><c> a</c><00:33:27.190><c> question.</c>

00:33:28.509 --> 00:33:29.990
That's<00:33:29.069><c> drugs.</c>

00:33:33.269 --> 00:33:35.410
So<00:33:33.430><c> do</c><00:33:33.589><c> adults</c><00:33:33.869><c> have</c><00:33:34.329><c> peer</c><00:33:34.569><c> pressure?</c>

00:33:35.509 --> 00:33:36.869
Yes,<00:33:35.809><c> lots</c><00:33:36.049><c> of</c><00:33:36.869><c> times.</c>

00:33:37.089 --> 00:33:38.329
Lots<00:33:37.289><c> of</c><00:33:37.470><c> times.</c>

00:33:38.670 --> 00:33:39.829
Believe<00:33:38.789><c> me.</c>

00:33:40.089 --> 00:33:41.869
Yeah,<00:33:40.410><c> adults</c><00:33:40.630><c> have</c><00:33:41.069><c> peer</c><00:33:41.329><c> pressure</c><00:33:41.609><c> too.</c>

00:33:42.049 --> 00:33:42.289
Yes?

00:33:42.289 --> 00:33:45.190

Thank<00:33:47.049><c> you</c><00:33:47.210><c> for</c><00:33:47.369><c> that.</c>

00:33:47.609 --> 00:33:49.089
Would<00:33:47.630><c> you</c><00:33:47.769><c> say</c><00:33:47.930><c> it</c><00:33:48.049><c> again?</c>

00:33:49.390 --> 00:33:51.410
Student<00:33:49.750><c> asking</c><00:33:50.569><c> a</c><00:33:50.569><c> question.</c>

00:33:51.970 --> 00:33:52.910
Explain.

00:33:53.970 --> 00:33:56.650
Student<00:33:54.849><c> asking</c><00:33:55.250><c> a</c><00:33:55.809><c> question.</c>

00:34:07.769 --> 00:34:08.210
Yes.

00:34:08.210 --> 00:34:09.070
Student<00:34:08.489><c> asking</c><00:34:08.489><c> a</c><00:34:08.489><c> question.</c>

00:34:11.829 --> 00:34:12.809
Sure.

00:34:13.849 --> 00:34:16.369
So<00:34:14.030><c> there's</c><00:34:14.289><c> positive</c><00:34:14.809><c> and</c><00:34:15.010><c> there</c><00:34:15.170><c> are</c><00:34:15.469><c> negative</c><00:34:15.809><c> aspects</c>

00:34:17.590 --> 00:34:19.010
After<00:34:17.829><c> all,</c><00:34:18.010><c> here</c><00:34:18.170><c> we</c><00:34:18.329><c> all</c><00:34:18.469><c> are</c><00:34:18.570><c> in</c><00:34:18.670><c> the</c><00:34:18.809><c> room.</c>

00:34:19.210 --> 00:34:20.570
It's<00:34:19.409><c> Bible</c><00:34:19.750><c> school.</c>

00:34:20.730 --> 00:34:22.349

00:34:22.570 --> 00:34:25.969
And<00:34:22.829><c> in</c><00:34:23.030><c> a</c><00:34:23.210><c> certain</c><00:34:23.349><c> sense,</c><00:34:23.690><c> we</c><00:34:23.869><c> all</c><00:34:24.110><c> create</c><00:34:24.469><c> a</c><00:34:24.750><c> positive</c><00:34:25.110><c> pressure.</c>

00:34:26.110 --> 00:34:28.809
We<00:34:26.269><c> help</c><00:34:26.510><c> each</c><00:34:26.730><c> other</c><00:34:26.909><c> by</c><00:34:27.230><c> conversation,</c><00:34:27.949><c> by</c><00:34:28.230><c> example,</c>

00:34:33.409 --> 00:34:35.469
There's<00:34:33.710><c> a</c><00:34:33.849><c> certain</c><00:34:33.989><c> amount</c><00:34:34.210><c> of</c><00:34:34.409><c> pressure</c><00:34:34.670><c> in</c><00:34:34.869><c> this</c><00:34:35.130><c> room</c>

00:34:35.469 --> 00:34:37.449

00:34:40.750 --> 00:34:43.050
That's<00:34:41.070><c> positive</c><00:34:41.769><c> peer</c><00:34:42.150><c> pressure.</c>

00:34:43.570 --> 00:34:46.110
But<00:34:43.750><c> of</c><00:34:43.969><c> course,</c><00:34:45.150><c> negatively,</c>

00:34:46.429 --> 00:34:48.289

00:34:48.730 --> 00:34:50.929
Looking<00:34:48.989><c> at</c><00:34:49.289><c> the</c><00:34:49.630><c> more</c><00:34:49.909><c> negative</c><00:34:50.309><c> aspect,</c>

00:34:51.230 --> 00:34:54.090
where<00:34:51.510><c> do</c><00:34:51.650><c> we</c><00:34:51.929><c> find</c><00:34:52.250><c> negative</c><00:34:52.869><c> peer</c><00:34:53.190><c> pressure?</c>

00:34:54.510 --> 00:34:55.510
Where<00:34:54.750><c> does</c><00:34:54.909><c> it</c><00:34:55.050><c> come</c><00:34:55.250><c> from?</c>

00:34:55.590 --> 00:34:56.550
What's<00:34:55.889><c> its</c><00:34:56.070><c> source?</c>

00:34:57.030 --> 00:34:58.590

School,<00:35:00.969><c> work?</c>

00:35:20.250 --> 00:35:22.369
So<00:35:20.849><c> you're</c><00:35:21.050><c> saying</c><00:35:21.389><c> that,</c><00:35:21.829><c> okay,</c>

00:35:22.429 --> 00:35:25.590

00:35:59.369 --> 00:36:00.630
When<00:35:59.489><c> the</c><00:35:59.670><c> children</c><00:35:59.849><c> are</c><00:36:00.010><c> at</c><00:36:00.170><c> school,</c>

00:36:04.469 --> 00:36:05.849

00:36:15.889 --> 00:36:17.710
why<00:36:16.170><c> do</c><00:36:16.309><c> they</c><00:36:16.409><c> even</c><00:36:16.630><c> want</c><00:36:16.750><c> to</c><00:36:16.929><c> bother</c><00:36:17.150><c> with</c><00:36:17.429><c> you?</c>

00:36:17.989 --> 00:36:20.730
Why<00:36:18.369><c> do</c><00:36:18.630><c> they</c><00:36:18.929><c> even</c><00:36:19.289><c> exert</c><00:36:19.550><c> that</c><00:36:19.889><c> pressure?</c>

00:36:21.389 --> 00:36:24.309
See<00:36:21.909><c> if</c><00:36:22.010><c> we</c><00:36:22.090><c> can</c><00:36:22.190><c> just</c><00:36:22.429><c> get</c><00:36:22.550><c> below</c><00:36:22.809><c> the</c><00:36:23.010><c> surface</c><00:36:23.289><c> here.</c>

00:36:26.929 --> 00:36:28.730
Sometimes<00:36:27.329><c> they're</c><00:36:27.610><c> deliberately</c><00:36:28.010><c> testing</c><00:36:28.449><c> you.</c>

00:36:28.929 --> 00:36:30.309
Are<00:36:28.929><c> there</c><00:36:29.070><c> other</c><00:36:29.369><c> motives,</c><00:36:29.829><c> however?</c>

00:36:30.809 --> 00:36:31.969
Other<00:36:31.050><c> motives.</c>

00:36:37.429 --> 00:36:40.630
So<00:36:37.809><c> sometimes</c><00:36:38.269><c> getting</c><00:36:38.530><c> other</c><00:36:38.829><c> people</c><00:36:39.050><c> to</c><00:36:39.230><c> do</c><00:36:39.309><c> what</c><00:36:39.449><c> you're</c><00:36:39.690><c> doing</c>

00:36:40.630 --> 00:36:42.969

00:36:44.010 --> 00:36:45.389
Acceptance<00:36:44.530><c> justifies</c><00:36:45.050><c> it,</c>

00:36:45.530 --> 00:36:47.949
makes<00:36:45.690><c> it</c><00:36:45.889><c> even</c><00:36:46.050><c> better</c><00:36:46.250><c> if</c><00:36:46.409><c> other</c><00:36:46.570><c> people</c><00:36:46.809><c> join</c><00:36:47.090><c> in.</c>

00:36:54.230 --> 00:36:55.829
Sometimes,<00:36:54.670><c> in</c><00:36:55.110><c> other</c><00:36:55.269><c> words,</c><00:36:55.469><c> you're</c><00:36:55.590><c> saying</c>

00:36:55.829 --> 00:36:57.670
there<00:36:56.010><c> might</c><00:36:56.250><c> be</c><00:36:56.670><c> an</c><00:36:56.889><c> ulterior</c><00:36:57.250><c> motive.</c>

00:36:57.989 --> 00:37:00.750
They<00:36:58.130><c> may</c><00:36:58.309><c> have</c><00:36:58.469><c> some</c><00:36:58.670><c> money</c><00:36:58.889><c> to</c><00:36:59.150><c> get</c><00:36:59.550><c> behind</c><00:37:00.070><c> it.</c>

00:37:01.030 --> 00:37:02.349
If<00:37:01.210><c> they</c><00:37:01.389><c> want</c><00:37:01.570><c> you</c><00:37:01.750><c> as</c><00:37:01.949><c> a</c><00:37:02.130><c> friend,</c>

00:37:02.449 --> 00:37:05.710
perhaps<00:37:02.789><c> you're</c><00:37:03.110><c> a</c><00:37:03.210><c> customer</c><00:37:03.730><c> potentially</c><00:37:04.550><c> for</c><00:37:04.829><c> something.</c>

00:37:06.309 --> 00:37:09.170
Perhaps,<00:37:06.889><c> however,</c><00:37:07.349><c> you</c><00:37:07.510><c> come</c><00:37:07.650><c> from</c><00:37:07.829><c> a</c><00:37:08.010><c> family</c><00:37:08.210><c> better</c><00:37:08.469><c> than</c><00:37:08.690><c> them,</c>

00:37:09.610 --> 00:37:11.369
and<00:37:09.750><c> they</c><00:37:09.889><c> can</c><00:37:10.090><c> see</c><00:37:10.190><c> that</c><00:37:10.349><c> coming</c><00:37:10.530><c> over</c><00:37:10.750><c> to</c><00:37:10.869><c> your</c><00:37:11.090><c> place</c>

00:37:14.809 --> 00:37:16.130
Any<00:37:14.949><c> other</c><00:37:15.150><c> reasons?</c>

00:37:17.269 --> 00:37:17.710
Okay.

00:37:17.710 --> 00:37:21.949
Now,<00:37:18.710><c> having</c><00:37:18.809><c> examined</c><00:37:19.329><c> all</c><00:37:19.650><c> that,</c><00:37:20.329><c> how</c><00:37:20.570><c> not</c><00:37:20.869><c> to</c><00:37:21.150><c> yield?</c>

or<00:43:46.429><c> perhaps</c><00:43:47.130><c> at</c><00:43:48.070><c> certain</c><00:43:48.210><c> places</c><00:43:48.590><c> depending</c><00:43:48.909><c> where</c><00:43:49.090><c> I</c><00:43:49.289><c> go,</c><00:43:49.769><c> maybe</c><00:43:49.989><c> just</c><00:43:50.190><c> on</c><00:43:50.369><c> weekends.</c>

00:43:51.469 --> 00:43:53.110
So<00:43:51.650><c> then</c><00:43:51.750><c> it</c><00:43:51.849><c> becomes</c><00:43:52.110><c> a</c><00:43:52.309><c> guest.</c>

00:43:54.170 --> 00:43:57.630
Finally,<00:43:55.389><c> it</c><00:43:55.550><c> becomes</c><00:43:56.070><c> a</c><00:43:56.750><c> master.</c>

00:43:57.989 --> 00:44:01.130
That's<00:43:58.329><c> one</c><00:43:58.489><c> of</c><00:43:58.570><c> the</c><00:43:58.730><c> key</c><00:43:58.989><c> things</c><00:43:59.630><c> that</c><00:44:00.170><c> we</c><00:44:00.349><c> all</c><00:44:00.570><c> have</c><00:44:00.809><c> to</c><00:44:00.929><c> be</c>

00:44:01.130 --> 00:44:02.409
realistic<00:44:01.510><c> about.</c>

00:44:02.730 --> 00:44:06.030
It's<00:44:03.030><c> easier</c><00:44:03.269><c> to</c><00:44:03.469><c> put</c><00:44:03.550><c> the</c><00:44:03.809><c> brakes</c><00:44:03.989><c> on</c><00:44:04.349><c> on</c><00:44:04.690><c> top</c><00:44:04.909><c> of</c><00:44:05.070><c> the</c><00:44:05.210><c> hill</c>

00:44:06.110 --> 00:44:08.929
than<00:44:06.329><c> to</c><00:44:06.610><c> slam</c><00:44:06.789><c> on</c><00:44:06.989><c> the</c><00:44:07.210><c> brakes</c><00:44:07.610><c> when</c><00:44:07.889><c> you're</c><00:44:08.110><c> going</c><00:44:08.250><c> 90</c><00:44:08.610><c> miles</c>

00:44:08.929 --> 00:44:10.170
an<00:44:09.130><c> hour</c><00:44:09.349><c> down</c><00:44:09.769><c> the</c><00:44:09.969><c> hill</c>

00:44:10.170 --> 00:44:12.989
and<00:44:10.369><c> at</c><00:44:10.530><c> midpoint</c><00:44:10.949><c> you</c><00:44:11.150><c> decide,</c><00:44:11.550><c> oh,</c><00:44:11.789><c> I</c><00:44:11.889><c> better</c><00:44:12.070><c> stop.</c>

00:44:15.429 --> 00:44:17.389
Sure<00:44:15.849><c> is</c><00:44:16.090><c> hard</c><00:44:16.250><c> on</c><00:44:16.369><c> the</c><00:44:16.550><c> brakes.</c>

00:44:17.570 --> 00:44:19.349
Very<00:44:17.989><c> hard</c><00:44:18.170><c> on</c><00:44:18.289><c> the</c><00:44:18.489><c> car.</c>

00:44:20.610 --> 00:44:23.530
So<00:44:20.829><c> bear</c><00:44:21.010><c> in</c><00:44:21.269><c> mind,</c><00:44:22.150><c> bear</c><00:44:22.489><c> in</c><00:44:22.750><c> mind</c><00:44:22.989><c> the</c><00:44:23.210><c> following.</c>

00:44:23.670 --> 00:44:25.309
We'll<00:44:23.769><c> just</c><00:44:24.030><c> close</c><00:44:24.210><c> on</c><00:44:24.369><c> this</c><00:44:24.570><c> note.</c>

00:44:25.750 --> 00:44:27.429
We'll<00:44:25.909><c> pick</c><00:44:26.050><c> this</c><00:44:26.210><c> up</c><00:44:26.369><c> tomorrow.</c>

00:44:31.590 --> 00:44:33.429
A<00:44:31.750><c> couple</c><00:44:31.849><c> of</c><00:44:32.070><c> passages</c><00:44:32.349><c> I</c><00:44:32.550><c> want</c><00:44:32.650><c> to</c><00:44:32.789><c> bring</c><00:44:32.869><c> to</c><00:44:33.030><c> your</c><00:44:33.210><c> mind.</c>

00:44:33.550 --> 00:44:37.130
I<00:44:33.550><c> think</c><00:44:33.710><c> they're</c><00:44:33.889><c> well</c><00:44:34.130><c> worth</c><00:44:34.329><c> knowing</c><00:44:34.949><c> for</c><00:44:35.570><c> modern</c><00:44:35.969><c> translations.</c>

00:44:37.530 --> 00:44:40.610
It's<00:44:38.090><c> in</c><00:44:38.250><c> the</c><00:44:38.849><c> spirit</c><00:44:39.130><c> of</c><00:44:39.449><c> the</c><00:44:39.809><c> quote</c><00:44:39.969><c> we</c><00:44:40.090><c> just</c><00:44:40.349><c> gave</c><00:44:40.469><c> you</c>

00:44:40.610 --> 00:44:41.849
about<00:44:40.809><c> habits.</c>

00:44:43.090 --> 00:44:45.550
A<00:44:43.190><c> man</c><00:44:43.449><c> is</c><00:44:43.690><c> a</c><00:44:43.949><c> slave,</c><00:44:44.469><c> says</c><00:44:44.610><c> Peter.</c>

00:44:45.869 --> 00:44:49.510
A<00:44:46.070><c> man</c><00:44:46.269><c> is</c><00:44:46.489><c> a</c><00:44:46.769><c> slave</c><00:44:47.090><c> to</c><00:44:47.289><c> whatever</c><00:44:47.710><c> has</c><00:44:48.150><c> mastered</c><00:44:48.510><c> him.</c>

00:44:50.630 --> 00:44:53.889
Habits<00:44:51.030><c> are</c><00:44:51.409><c> first</c><00:44:51.690><c> a</c><00:44:51.929><c> caller,</c><00:44:52.650><c> then</c><00:44:52.829><c> a</c><00:44:53.070><c> guest,</c><00:44:53.429><c> and</c><00:44:53.690><c> finally</c>

00:44:53.889 --> 00:44:55.010
a<00:44:54.030><c> master.</c>

00:44:55.610 --> 00:45:01.130
And<00:44:55.889><c> secondly,</c><00:44:57.610><c> Paul</c><00:44:57.989><c> says</c><00:44:58.570><c> down</c><00:44:58.969><c> here</c><00:44:59.530><c> in</c><00:44:59.909><c> 1</c><00:45:00.110><c> Corinthians</c><00:45:00.530><c> 6</c>

00:45:02.809 --> 00:45:06.869
Paul<00:45:03.369><c> says,</c><00:45:03.730><c> all</c><00:45:04.030><c> things</c><00:45:04.289><c> are</c><00:45:04.570><c> lawful</c><00:45:04.989><c> for</c><00:45:05.250><c> me,</c><00:45:06.150><c> but</c><00:45:06.409><c> I</c><00:45:06.550><c> will</c>

00:45:06.869 --> 00:45:09.590
not<00:45:07.250><c> be</c><00:45:07.650><c> mastered</c><00:45:08.190><c> by</c><00:45:08.690><c> anything.</c>

00:45:11.449 --> 00:45:15.590
If<00:45:11.849><c> he's</c><00:45:12.130><c> mastered</c><00:45:12.409><c> by</c><00:45:12.730><c> something,</c><00:45:13.829><c> then</c><00:45:13.989><c> he</c><00:45:14.150><c> has</c><00:45:14.369><c> two</c><00:45:14.590><c> masters.</c>

00:45:15.889 --> 00:45:18.090
And<00:45:16.090><c> we</c><00:45:16.269><c> cannot</c><00:45:16.550><c> serve</c><00:45:16.869><c> two</c><00:45:17.130><c> masters.</c>

00:45:18.389 --> 00:45:20.269
We<00:45:18.590><c> are</c><00:45:18.690><c> only</c><00:45:18.929><c> serving</c><00:45:19.210><c> one.</c>

00:45:21.150 --> 00:45:23.210
Okay,<00:45:21.510><c> thank</c><00:45:21.750><c> you</c><00:45:21.849><c> very</c><00:45:22.090><c> much.</c>
