00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:30.500

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.219
I<00:00:35.200><c> don't</c><00:00:35.460><c> think</c><00:00:35.759><c> there</c><00:00:36.320><c> would</c><00:00:36.500><c> be</c><00:00:36.600><c> any</c><00:00:36.840><c> dispute</c><00:00:37.280><c> that</c><00:00:38.299><c> the</c><00:00:38.679><c> letter</c><00:00:39.079><c> to</c>

00:00:46.179 --> 00:00:48.539

to<00:00:48.679><c> this</c><00:00:48.840><c> present</c><00:00:49.060><c> moment</c>

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:52.539
you've<00:00:50.600><c> been</c><00:00:50.759><c> considering</c><00:00:51.179><c> then</c><00:00:51.420><c> the</c><00:00:51.579><c> first</c><00:00:51.820><c> three</c><00:00:52.140><c> chapters</c>

00:00:53.359 --> 00:00:56.479
And<00:00:54.359><c> doubtless</c><00:00:54.799><c> you</c><00:00:54.939><c> are</c><00:00:55.340><c> quite</c><00:00:55.579><c> familiar</c><00:00:55.840><c> with</c><00:00:55.960><c> this</c><00:00:56.179><c> breakdown</c>

00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.420
because<00:00:56.880><c> this</c><00:00:57.119><c> is</c><00:00:57.259><c> the</c><00:00:57.380><c> one</c><00:00:57.520><c> that</c><00:00:58.119><c> is</c><00:00:58.539><c> very</c><00:00:58.899><c> commonly</c><00:00:59.119><c> around</c>

00:00:59.420 --> 00:00:59.880
the<00:00:59.619><c> place</c>

00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:03.179

00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:06.840
And<00:01:03.460><c> as</c><00:01:03.759><c> I</c><00:01:03.920><c> said</c><00:01:04.019><c> I</c><00:01:04.159><c> doubt</c><00:01:04.420><c> whether</c><00:01:05.040><c> any</c><00:01:05.560><c> exponent</c><00:01:06.000><c> of</c><00:01:06.359><c> the</c><00:01:06.500><c> letter</c><00:01:06.640><c> to</c>

the<00:01:06.959><c> Ephesians</c>

00:01:07.319 --> 00:01:10.599
would<00:01:07.579><c> really</c><00:01:08.219><c> break</c><00:01:08.599><c> it</c><00:01:08.719><c> up</c><00:01:08.840><c> any</c><00:01:09.040><c> differently</c><00:01:09.420><c> from</c><00:01:09.700><c> this.</c>

00:01:10.780 --> 00:01:14.379
Maybe<00:01:11.120><c> some</c><00:01:11.400><c> little</c><00:01:11.680><c> sections</c><00:01:12.079><c> in</c><00:01:12.400><c> here</c><00:01:12.900><c> may</c><00:01:13.340><c> have</c><00:01:13.579><c> different</c><00:01:13.920><c> verses.</c>

00:01:14.859 --> 00:01:17.019
But<00:01:15.000><c> it's</c><00:01:15.140><c> very</c><00:01:15.459><c> obvious</c><00:01:15.780><c> that</c><00:01:15.980><c> the</c><00:01:16.159><c> first</c><00:01:16.359><c> three</c><00:01:16.680><c> chapters</c>

00:01:23.000 --> 00:01:27.359
that's<00:01:23.280><c> chapters</c><00:01:23.579><c> four</c><00:01:23.879><c> to</c><00:01:24.000><c> six,</c><00:01:25.040><c> is</c><00:01:25.180><c> the</c><00:01:25.500><c> practical</c><00:01:26.040><c> exhortation</c>

00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:33.640
You<00:01:31.180><c> know</c><00:01:31.299><c> when</c><00:01:31.420><c> you</c><00:01:31.560><c> look</c><00:01:31.719><c> at</c><00:01:31.879><c> the</c><00:01:32.180><c> letters</c><00:01:32.420><c> of</c><00:01:32.599><c> the</c><00:01:32.760><c> Apostle</c><00:01:33.140><c> Paul</c>

most<00:01:34.439><c> of</c><00:01:34.599><c> them</c><00:01:34.700><c> fall</c><00:01:34.920><c> into</c><00:01:35.099><c> that</c><00:01:35.359><c> category.</c>

00:01:37.040 --> 00:01:39.560
For<00:01:37.219><c> example</c><00:01:37.640><c> Colossians</c><00:01:38.159><c> has</c><00:01:38.439><c> four</c><00:01:38.719><c> chapters</c><00:01:39.079><c> in</c><00:01:39.280><c> it.</c>

00:01:46.019 --> 00:01:49.459
And<00:01:46.079><c> then</c><00:01:46.299><c> chapters</c><00:01:46.579><c> three</c><00:01:46.859><c> and</c><00:01:47.060><c> four</c><00:01:47.579><c> would</c><00:01:47.879><c> be</c><00:01:48.180><c> the</c><00:01:48.900><c> exhortation</c>

The<00:01:56.620><c> first</c><00:01:57.079><c> two</c><00:01:57.659><c> would</c><00:01:58.420><c> be</c><00:01:59.200><c> an</c><00:01:59.859><c> explanation</c><00:02:00.299><c> of</c><00:02:00.519><c> Paul's</c><00:02:00.900><c> position.</c>

Why<00:02:17.439><c> does</c><00:02:17.800><c> the</c><00:02:18.000><c> Apostle</c><00:02:18.419><c> Paul</c><00:02:18.939><c> spend</c><00:02:19.319><c> as</c><00:02:19.500><c> in</c><00:02:19.699><c> the</c><00:02:19.819><c> case</c><00:02:19.979><c> of</c><00:02:20.219><c> the</c><00:02:20.319><c> Ephesians</c>

00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.080
the<00:02:21.360><c> first</c><00:02:21.740><c> half</c><00:02:21.939><c> of</c><00:02:22.080><c> his</c><00:02:22.259><c> epistle</c><00:02:22.740><c> talking</c><00:02:23.419><c> about</c><00:02:23.759><c> things</c>

00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.979
which<00:02:24.400><c> everybody</c><00:02:24.860><c> knew</c><00:02:25.080><c> and</c><00:02:25.319><c> everybody</c><00:02:25.659><c> understood?</c>

00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:29.979
Well<00:02:28.259><c> for</c><00:02:28.439><c> the</c><00:02:28.599><c> simple</c><00:02:28.800><c> reason</c><00:02:29.180><c> that</c><00:02:29.400><c> although</c><00:02:29.620><c> they</c><00:02:29.780><c> might</c>

00:02:29.979 --> 00:02:30.919

00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:34.460
they<00:02:31.599><c> didn't</c><00:02:31.919><c> see</c><00:02:32.400><c> the</c><00:02:32.740><c> significance</c><00:02:33.080><c> in</c><00:02:33.300><c> their</c><00:02:33.520><c> lives.</c>

00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:39.000
And<00:02:35.060><c> furthermore</c><00:02:35.879><c> in</c><00:02:36.439><c> Ephesians,</c><00:02:38.039><c> in</c><00:02:38.159><c> Colossians</c>

00:02:46.819 --> 00:02:48.759
The<00:02:46.979><c> division</c><00:02:47.300><c> in</c><00:02:47.580><c> Ephesus</c><00:02:47.960><c> is</c><00:02:48.159><c> quite</c><00:02:48.500><c> clear.</c>

00:02:48.819 --> 00:02:51.240
It<00:02:48.979><c> was</c><00:02:49.319><c> Jew</c><00:02:49.620><c> and</c><00:02:50.000><c> Gentile.</c>

00:02:51.539 --> 00:02:56.319
Maybe<00:02:51.879><c> it</c><00:02:51.979><c> was</c><00:02:52.240><c> also</c><00:02:52.599><c> manifesting</c><00:02:53.099><c> itself</c><00:02:53.539><c> with</c><00:02:55.039><c> a</c><00:02:55.199><c> Gentile</c><00:02:55.759><c> philosophy</c>

00:02:58.259 --> 00:03:00.960
Let's<00:02:58.520><c> eat,</c><00:02:58.699><c> drink</c><00:02:58.919><c> and</c><00:02:59.020><c> be</c><00:02:59.180><c> merry</c><00:02:59.400><c> for</c><00:02:59.560><c> tomorrow</c><00:02:59.840><c> we</c><00:03:00.139><c> die.</c>

00:03:01.460 --> 00:03:03.840
The<00:03:01.639><c> fact</c><00:03:01.840><c> then</c><00:03:02.080><c> was</c><00:03:02.340><c> this,</c><00:03:02.580><c> that</c><00:03:02.719><c> if</c><00:03:02.800><c> you've</c><00:03:03.020><c> got</c><00:03:03.400><c> a</c><00:03:03.639><c> division</c>

00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:04.800

00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:07.000
and<00:03:05.219><c> doubtless</c><00:03:05.500><c> when</c><00:03:05.620><c> you</c><00:03:05.780><c> had</c><00:03:05.879><c> a</c><00:03:05.939><c> look</c><00:03:06.039><c> at</c><00:03:06.159><c> chapter</c><00:03:06.439><c> two</c>

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.199
you<00:03:07.419><c> saw</c><00:03:07.599><c> that</c><00:03:07.719><c> they</c><00:03:07.819><c> were</c><00:03:08.000><c> calling</c><00:03:08.219><c> each</c><00:03:08.479><c> other</c><00:03:08.699><c> names.</c>

00:03:09.680 --> 00:03:12.139
There<00:03:10.159><c> was</c><00:03:10.460><c> one</c><00:03:10.699><c> group</c><00:03:10.919><c> who</c><00:03:11.099><c> stood</c><00:03:11.240><c> in</c><00:03:11.400><c> one</c><00:03:11.620><c> side</c><00:03:11.759><c> of</c><00:03:11.879><c> the</c><00:03:12.000><c> hall</c>

00:03:12.139 --> 00:03:14.960
and<00:03:12.340><c> called</c><00:03:12.500><c> the</c><00:03:12.699><c> other</c><00:03:12.900><c> group</c><00:03:13.180><c> the</c><00:03:13.400><c> circumcision</c><00:03:13.919><c> class</c>

00:03:15.099 --> 00:03:18.460
and<00:03:15.340><c> they</c><00:03:15.699><c> in</c><00:03:15.879><c> turn</c><00:03:16.099><c> called</c><00:03:16.340><c> the</c><00:03:16.580><c> others</c><00:03:16.759><c> the</c><00:03:17.020><c> uncircumcision.</c>

00:03:18.620 --> 00:03:21.680
These<00:03:19.000><c> are</c><00:03:19.159><c> what</c><00:03:19.259><c> might</c><00:03:19.479><c> be</c><00:03:19.620><c> called</c><00:03:19.879><c> epithets</c><00:03:20.400><c> that</c><00:03:20.520><c> were</c><00:03:20.740><c> given</c><00:03:21.039><c> to</c>

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:24.719
the<00:03:21.879><c> Jewish</c><00:03:22.259><c> element</c><00:03:22.620><c> in</c><00:03:22.819><c> the</c><00:03:22.960><c> ecclesia</c><00:03:23.360><c> and</c><00:03:23.620><c> the</c><00:03:23.800><c> Gentile</c><00:03:24.300><c> element</c><00:03:24.539><c> in</c>

the<00:03:24.819><c> ecclesia.</c>

00:03:25.979 --> 00:03:28.780
So<00:03:26.159><c> if</c><00:03:26.319><c> Paul's</c><00:03:26.580><c> going</c><00:03:26.759><c> to</c><00:03:26.900><c> bring</c><00:03:27.300><c> two</c><00:03:27.699><c> groups</c><00:03:28.020><c> together</c>

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:33.620
he<00:03:29.759><c> says</c><00:03:30.080><c> the</c><00:03:30.319><c> best</c><00:03:30.599><c> way</c><00:03:30.780><c> to</c><00:03:30.879><c> do</c><00:03:31.060><c> it</c><00:03:31.439><c> is</c><00:03:31.780><c> to</c><00:03:32.039><c> start</c><00:03:32.199><c> off</c><00:03:32.400><c> by</c><00:03:32.659><c> talking</c><00:03:32.939><c> about</c><00:03:33.240><c> the</c><00:03:33.460><c> things</c>

00:03:33.620 --> 00:03:36.199
that<00:03:33.800><c> they</c><00:03:34.039><c> acknowledge</c><00:03:34.580><c> that</c><00:03:34.759><c> they've</c><00:03:34.939><c> got</c><00:03:35.080><c> in</c><00:03:35.340><c> common.</c>

00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.900
And<00:03:36.879><c> so</c><00:03:37.120><c> the</c><00:03:37.300><c> first</c><00:03:37.539><c> three</c><00:03:37.819><c> chapters,</c><00:03:38.199><c> whilst</c><00:03:38.460><c> we</c><00:03:38.599><c> might</c><00:03:38.840><c> glibly</c><00:03:39.139><c> call</c><00:03:39.439><c> it</c>

00:03:39.900 --> 00:03:43.240
a<00:03:40.319><c> doctrinal</c><00:03:40.740><c> basis,</c><00:03:41.620><c> is</c><00:03:41.819><c> really</c><00:03:42.240><c> outlining</c><00:03:42.740><c> the</c><00:03:43.000><c> hope</c>

00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.879
that<00:03:43.599><c> whether</c><00:03:43.840><c> you</c><00:03:44.039><c> were</c><00:03:44.199><c> a</c><00:03:44.379><c> Jew</c><00:03:44.500><c> or</c><00:03:44.740><c> whether</c><00:03:44.960><c> you</c><00:03:45.139><c> were</c><00:03:45.219><c> a</c><00:03:45.379><c> Gentile</c>

00:03:45.879 --> 00:03:47.939
you<00:03:46.099><c> would</c><00:03:46.259><c> have</c><00:03:46.379><c> to</c><00:03:46.580><c> agree</c><00:03:46.800><c> with</c><00:03:46.960><c> it.</c>

00:03:47.979 --> 00:03:49.460
Now<00:03:48.139><c> I'm</c><00:03:48.139><c> not</c><00:03:48.319><c> going</c><00:03:48.439><c> to</c><00:03:48.520><c> go</c><00:03:48.620><c> through</c><00:03:48.780><c> all</c><00:03:48.939><c> of</c><00:03:49.060><c> that</c><00:03:49.199><c> again</c>

00:03:49.460 --> 00:03:52.180
because<00:03:49.819><c> obviously</c><00:03:50.300><c> you've</c><00:03:50.860><c> done</c><00:03:51.060><c> that</c><00:03:51.259><c> in</c><00:03:51.379><c> your</c><00:03:51.599><c> previous</c><00:03:51.900><c> studies.</c>

00:03:52.280 --> 00:03:54.340
You<00:03:52.379><c> have</c><00:03:52.520><c> done</c><00:03:52.699><c> the</c><00:03:52.960><c> first</c><00:03:53.060><c> three</c><00:03:53.240><c> chapters</c><00:03:53.479><c> I</c><00:03:53.699><c> presume.</c>

00:03:54.460 --> 00:03:56.520
I<00:03:54.939><c> was</c><00:03:55.139><c> guessing</c><00:03:55.419><c> that.</c>

00:03:56.620 --> 00:04:01.539
So<00:03:56.919><c> obviously</c><00:03:57.659><c> the</c><00:03:58.520><c> speaker</c><00:03:58.840><c> or</c><00:03:59.060><c> speakers</c><00:03:59.360><c> would</c><00:03:59.680><c> have</c><00:04:00.599><c> outlined</c><00:04:01.120><c> that</c>

00:04:01.539 --> 00:04:02.240
very<00:04:01.919><c> clearly.</c>

00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.240
So<00:04:02.879><c> that's</c><00:04:03.159><c> why</c><00:04:03.479><c> chapter</c><00:04:03.819><c> four</c><00:04:04.120><c> starts</c><00:04:04.500><c> off</c><00:04:04.740><c> with</c><00:04:04.919><c> the</c><00:04:05.020><c> words</c>

00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:07.000
I<00:04:05.879><c> therefore</c>

00:04:07.300 --> 00:04:10.039
and<00:04:07.819><c> that</c><00:04:08.099><c> word</c><00:04:08.280><c> therefore</c><00:04:08.659><c> which</c><00:04:08.900><c> we</c><00:04:09.080><c> might</c><00:04:09.240><c> tend</c><00:04:09.460><c> to</c><00:04:09.580><c> gloss</c><00:04:09.740><c> over</c>

00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.400
and<00:04:10.199><c> say</c><00:04:10.300><c> well</c><00:04:10.500><c> I'll</c><00:04:10.819><c> look</c><00:04:10.979><c> up</c><00:04:11.099><c> the</c><00:04:11.379><c> important</c><00:04:11.659><c> words</c><00:04:11.939><c> in</c><00:04:12.099><c> the</c><00:04:12.219><c> verse</c>

00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:14.879
but<00:04:13.020><c> therefore</c><00:04:13.360><c> isn't</c><00:04:13.599><c> really</c><00:04:13.860><c> an</c><00:04:14.159><c> important</c><00:04:14.460><c> word.</c>

00:04:15.300 --> 00:04:17.819
It<00:04:15.419><c> is</c><00:04:15.699><c> actually</c><00:04:15.979><c> an</c><00:04:16.300><c> important</c><00:04:16.600><c> word</c><00:04:16.839><c> because</c><00:04:17.120><c> it's</c><00:04:17.459><c> linking</c>

00:04:17.819 --> 00:04:20.399

00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.939

00:04:27.259 --> 00:04:30.959
You<00:04:27.259><c> know,</c><00:04:27.879><c> that</c><00:04:28.420><c> he</c><00:04:29.259><c> can</c><00:04:29.480><c> talk</c><00:04:29.660><c> in</c><00:04:29.819><c> the</c><00:04:30.019><c> terms</c><00:04:30.199><c> of</c><00:04:30.420><c> the</c><00:04:30.639><c> we.</c>

00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:36.480
You<00:04:31.319><c> know,</c><00:04:32.339><c> God</c><00:04:32.600><c> having</c><00:04:33.040><c> predestinated</c><00:04:33.980><c> us</c><00:04:34.759><c> under</c><00:04:35.560><c> the</c><00:04:35.759><c> adoption</c><00:04:36.000><c> of</c><00:04:36.259><c> children</c>

00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.160
he<00:04:36.620><c> said</c><00:04:36.759><c> back</c><00:04:37.019><c> in</c><00:04:37.220><c> chapter</c><00:04:37.540><c> one.</c>

00:04:38.339 --> 00:04:41.079
Us,<00:04:39.579><c> meaning</c><00:04:39.680><c> Jews</c><00:04:40.120><c> and</c><00:04:40.560><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:42.279
And<00:04:41.379><c> they'd</c><00:04:41.519><c> all</c><00:04:41.620><c> be</c><00:04:41.759><c> nodding</c><00:04:41.959><c> their</c><00:04:42.160><c> heads.</c>

00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.699
Oh<00:04:42.519><c> yes,</c><00:04:42.680><c> yes,</c><00:04:42.980><c> we</c><00:04:43.220><c> recognise</c><00:04:43.800><c> that.</c>

00:04:44.779 --> 00:04:47.639
We<00:04:45.019><c> acknowledge</c><00:04:45.579><c> that</c><00:04:46.379><c> prior</c><00:04:46.680><c> to</c><00:04:46.839><c> the</c><00:04:46.959><c> time</c><00:04:47.120><c> of</c><00:04:47.319><c> Abraham</c>

00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.459
there<00:04:47.819><c> weren't</c><00:04:48.079><c> Jews</c><00:04:48.339><c> and</c><00:04:48.620><c> Gentiles.</c>

00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.519
Jews<00:04:50.399><c> and</c><00:04:50.600><c> Gentiles</c><00:04:51.000><c> only</c><00:04:51.220><c> came</c><00:04:51.420><c> into</c><00:04:51.639><c> existence</c><00:04:52.079><c> back</c><00:04:52.339><c> in</c>

00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:53.180
those<00:04:52.779><c> days.</c>

00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:55.660
And<00:04:53.740><c> that</c><00:04:53.860><c> even</c><00:04:54.139><c> prior</c><00:04:54.459><c> to</c><00:04:54.600><c> that</c><00:04:54.699><c> from</c><00:04:54.879><c> the</c><00:04:55.100><c> beginning</c><00:04:55.360><c> of</c><00:04:55.560><c> the</c>

foundation<00:04:56.100><c> of</c><00:04:56.279><c> the</c><00:04:56.439><c> world</c>

00:04:56.819 --> 00:05:00.220
God<00:04:57.259><c> had</c><00:04:57.459><c> in</c><00:04:57.680><c> mind</c><00:04:57.860><c> that</c><00:04:58.079><c> all</c><00:04:58.399><c> mankind</c><00:04:58.860><c> would</c><00:04:59.079><c> have</c><00:04:59.259><c> a</c><00:04:59.379><c> hope.</c>

00:05:00.500 --> 00:05:02.660
So<00:05:00.980><c> they'd</c><00:05:01.259><c> be</c><00:05:01.319><c> all</c><00:05:01.500><c> nodding</c><00:05:01.720><c> their</c><00:05:01.879><c> heads</c><00:05:02.040><c> and</c><00:05:02.199><c> saying</c><00:05:02.360><c> yes,</c>

00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:04.379
yes,<00:05:03.019><c> yes,</c><00:05:03.220><c> that's</c><00:05:03.480><c> right.</c>

00:05:05.060 --> 00:05:08.040
And<00:05:05.180><c> so</c><00:05:05.300><c> he</c><00:05:05.639><c> concludes</c><00:05:05.959><c> his</c><00:05:06.240><c> prayer</c><00:05:06.420><c> in</c><00:05:06.660><c> chapter</c><00:05:06.920><c> three</c><00:05:07.240><c> down</c><00:05:07.540><c> here</c>

00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.560
when<00:05:08.399><c> he</c><00:05:08.600><c> says</c><00:05:08.699><c> I</c><00:05:08.860><c> bow</c><00:05:09.100><c> my</c><00:05:09.360><c> knee</c><00:05:09.600><c> before</c><00:05:09.959><c> the</c><00:05:10.220><c> father</c><00:05:10.740><c> of</c><00:05:11.399><c> whom</c>

00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:13.060
the<00:05:11.759><c> whole</c><00:05:12.079><c> family.</c>

00:05:13.420 --> 00:05:15.779
The<00:05:13.600><c> whole</c><00:05:13.800><c> family,</c><00:05:14.220><c> yes,</c><00:05:14.399><c> in</c><00:05:14.579><c> heaven</c><00:05:14.740><c> and</c><00:05:14.939><c> in</c><00:05:15.120><c> earth</c><00:05:15.240><c> is</c><00:05:15.519><c> named.</c>

00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:18.160
So<00:05:16.259><c> we're</c><00:05:16.399><c> not</c><00:05:16.579><c> only</c><00:05:16.899><c> united</c><00:05:17.319><c> in</c><00:05:17.540><c> one</c><00:05:17.660><c> on</c><00:05:17.920><c> earth</c>

00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.220
but<00:05:18.639><c> we're</c><00:05:18.860><c> also</c><00:05:19.180><c> united</c><00:05:19.600><c> with</c><00:05:19.779><c> the</c><00:05:19.980><c> family</c><00:05:20.220><c> in</c><00:05:20.459><c> heaven.</c>

00:05:22.100 --> 00:05:25.120
Now<00:05:22.339><c> if</c><00:05:22.420><c> that's</c><00:05:22.740><c> the</c><00:05:22.879><c> case,</c><00:05:23.139><c> and</c><00:05:23.399><c> let's</c><00:05:23.720><c> assume</c><00:05:24.019><c> that</c><00:05:24.779><c> we've</c>

00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:26.199
got<00:05:25.259><c> some</c><00:05:25.500><c> division</c><00:05:25.860><c> here</c>

00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:28.620
and<00:05:26.540><c> I</c><00:05:26.680><c> don't</c><00:05:26.839><c> have</c><00:05:26.920><c> any</c><00:05:27.160><c> division</c><00:05:27.459><c> in</c><00:05:27.920><c> Golden</c><00:05:28.079><c> Grave</c><00:05:28.300><c> Ecclesia</c>

00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:31.579
so<00:05:28.959><c> we</c><00:05:29.800><c> can</c><00:05:29.980><c> talk</c><00:05:30.160><c> quite</c><00:05:30.600><c> openly</c><00:05:30.879><c> about</c><00:05:31.139><c> that,</c><00:05:31.399><c> can't</c><00:05:31.540><c> we?</c>

00:05:31.620 --> 00:05:34.819
Let's<00:05:31.980><c> assume</c><00:05:32.220><c> there's</c><00:05:32.439><c> some</c><00:05:32.680><c> sort</c><00:05:32.839><c> of</c><00:05:33.259><c> a</c><00:05:33.480><c> division</c><00:05:33.720><c> here.</c>

00:05:35.300 --> 00:05:38.379
We<00:05:35.540><c> say,</c><00:05:35.819><c> well</c><00:05:35.899><c> look,</c><00:05:36.199><c> we</c><00:05:36.439><c> agree</c><00:05:36.879><c> that</c><00:05:37.220><c> that</c><00:05:37.439><c> person</c><00:05:37.639><c> was</c><00:05:37.879><c> baptised</c><00:05:38.279><c> and</c>

00:05:38.379 --> 00:05:40.600
that<00:05:38.620><c> person</c><00:05:38.860><c> was</c><00:05:39.079><c> baptised.</c>

00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:44.899
Yes,<00:05:41.199><c> this</c><00:05:41.379><c> one's,</c><00:05:43.639><c> well</c><00:05:43.819><c> we</c><00:05:43.879><c> don't</c><00:05:44.060><c> have</c><00:05:44.259><c> Jews</c><00:05:44.500><c> and</c><00:05:44.720><c> Greeks</c>

00:05:44.899 --> 00:05:46.160
but<00:05:45.079><c> we</c><00:05:45.180><c> might</c><00:05:45.319><c> have</c><00:05:45.519><c> different</c><00:05:45.800><c> backgrounds.</c>

00:05:46.259 --> 00:05:48.060
This<00:05:46.439><c> one</c><00:05:46.560><c> was</c><00:05:46.740><c> brought</c><00:05:46.879><c> up</c><00:05:47.060><c> in</c><00:05:47.160><c> the</c><00:05:47.339><c> truth,</c><00:05:47.480><c> this</c><00:05:47.660><c> one</c><00:05:47.819><c> wasn't</c>

00:05:48.060 --> 00:05:48.920
brought<00:05:48.279><c> up</c><00:05:48.439><c> in</c><00:05:48.560><c> the</c><00:05:48.759><c> truth.</c>

00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:52.259
This<00:05:49.160><c> one</c><00:05:49.680><c> came</c><00:05:49.920><c> from</c><00:05:50.139><c> Brighton</c><00:05:50.560><c> and</c><00:05:51.500><c> you've</c><00:05:51.899><c> got</c><00:05:51.920><c> to</c><00:05:52.060><c> watch</c>

00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:54.620
those<00:05:52.600><c> and</c><00:05:53.060><c> ones</c><00:05:53.300><c> like</c><00:05:53.639><c> that.</c>

00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:56.939
And<00:05:54.639><c> that's</c><00:05:55.339><c> the</c><00:05:55.420><c> only</c><00:05:55.540><c> one</c><00:05:55.620><c> for</c><00:05:55.800><c> the</c><00:05:55.939><c> night</c><00:05:56.079><c> they</c><00:05:56.279><c> can.</c>

00:05:57.180 --> 00:06:00.740
And<00:05:57.620><c> so</c><00:05:58.060><c> for</c><00:05:58.399><c> whatever</c><00:05:58.639><c> reason</c><00:05:59.079><c> we</c><00:05:59.319><c> start</c><00:05:59.579><c> to</c><00:05:59.740><c> say,</c><00:06:00.000><c> yes</c><00:06:00.060><c> I</c><00:06:00.199><c> know</c><00:06:00.500><c> all</c>

00:06:00.740 --> 00:06:01.660
those<00:06:00.959><c> things</c><00:06:01.180><c> are</c><00:06:01.480><c> true</c>

00:06:01.660 --> 00:06:04.699
but<00:06:02.120><c> I</c><00:06:03.040><c> still</c><00:06:03.319><c> can't</c><00:06:04.040><c> get</c><00:06:04.319><c> on</c><00:06:04.500><c> with</c><00:06:04.600><c> them.</c>

00:06:04.699 --> 00:06:06.759
I<00:06:04.860><c> still</c><00:06:05.060><c> don't</c><00:06:05.279><c> think</c><00:06:05.379><c> that</c><00:06:05.620><c> person</c><00:06:05.860><c> should</c><00:06:06.100><c> do</c><00:06:06.240><c> this</c><00:06:06.439><c> and</c><00:06:06.579><c> that.</c>

00:06:06.899 --> 00:06:09.240
You<00:06:06.980><c> know,</c><00:06:07.139><c> all</c><00:06:07.339><c> the</c><00:06:07.439><c> sorts</c><00:06:07.680><c> of</c><00:06:07.860><c> things</c><00:06:08.100><c> that</c><00:06:08.759><c> crop</c><00:06:08.920><c> up</c><00:06:09.100><c> where</c>

00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:10.180
you've<00:06:09.420><c> got</c><00:06:09.579><c> human</c><00:06:09.819><c> nature.</c>

00:06:10.379 --> 00:06:13.399
And<00:06:10.579><c> it</c><00:06:10.639><c> was</c><00:06:10.839><c> there</c><00:06:11.040><c> in</c><00:06:11.279><c> Paul's</c><00:06:11.639><c> day</c><00:06:11.839><c> and</c><00:06:12.060><c> of</c><00:06:12.279><c> course</c><00:06:12.519><c> it</c><00:06:13.180><c> has</c>

00:06:13.399 --> 00:06:16.019
the<00:06:13.639><c> potential</c><00:06:13.939><c> to</c><00:06:14.180><c> exist</c><00:06:14.439><c> in</c><00:06:14.639><c> our</c><00:06:14.839><c> day</c><00:06:14.980><c> as</c><00:06:15.220><c> well.</c>

00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:18.319

00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:20.419
because<00:10:16.139><c> you</c><00:10:16.399><c> know</c><00:10:16.580><c> I</c><00:10:16.840><c> dwell</c><00:10:17.179><c> in</c><00:10:17.460><c> the</c><00:10:17.659><c> high</c><00:10:17.980><c> and</c><00:10:18.440><c> the</c><00:10:18.600><c> holy</c><00:10:18.799><c> place</c><00:10:19.559><c> with</c><00:10:19.899><c> him</c>

So<00:10:23.379><c> humility</c><00:10:23.879><c> is</c><00:10:24.399><c> the</c><00:10:24.559><c> basis</c><00:10:24.799><c> upon</c><00:10:25.019><c> which</c><00:10:25.259><c> God</c><00:10:25.519><c> can</c><00:10:26.179><c> communicate</c><00:10:26.720><c> with</c><00:10:26.940><c> us.</c>

00:13:11.240 --> 00:13:13.879
Nevertheless,<00:13:12.000><c> it's</c><00:13:12.139><c> a</c><00:13:12.220><c> good</c><00:13:12.399><c> idea</c><00:13:12.799><c> that</c><00:13:12.980><c> we</c><00:13:13.100><c> do</c><00:13:13.320><c> actually</c><00:13:13.639><c> have</c><00:13:13.799><c> a</c>

00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:19.740
so<00:13:16.539><c> we</c><00:13:16.720><c> can</c><00:13:17.000><c> see</c><00:13:17.159><c> the</c><00:13:17.340><c> sort</c><00:13:17.480><c> of</c><00:13:17.919><c> characteristics</c><00:13:18.259><c> we're</c><00:13:18.500><c> looking</c><00:13:18.779><c> for.</c>

In<00:24:49.859><c> other</c><00:24:50.079><c> words,</c><00:24:50.420><c> we</c><00:24:50.519><c> submit</c><00:24:50.920><c> to</c><00:24:51.160><c> the</c><00:24:51.440><c> instructions</c><00:24:51.859><c> of</c><00:24:52.039><c> the</c><00:24:52.180><c> word.</c>

00:24:53.539 --> 00:24:55.740
So<00:24:53.700><c> it</c><00:24:53.759><c> keeps</c><00:24:54.039><c> bringing</c><00:24:54.319><c> us</c><00:24:54.559><c> back</c><00:24:54.759><c> to</c><00:24:54.900><c> that</c><00:24:55.099><c> word</c><00:24:55.299><c> all</c><00:24:55.500><c> the</c><00:24:55.559><c> time.</c>

00:24:55.859 --> 00:24:59.039
Without<00:24:56.259><c> this</c><00:24:56.599><c> in</c><00:24:56.819><c> the</c><00:24:57.000><c> mind,</c><00:24:57.859><c> all</c><00:24:58.079><c> of</c><00:24:58.240><c> these</c><00:24:58.460><c> things</c><00:24:58.640><c> are</c>

00:24:59.039 --> 00:24:59.980
purely<00:24:59.299><c> Judaistic.</c>

00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:02.539
We<00:25:00.500><c> go</c><00:25:00.680><c> away</c><00:25:00.920><c> and</c><00:25:01.000><c> say</c><00:25:01.059><c> I'm</c><00:25:01.220><c> going</c><00:25:01.359><c> to</c><00:25:01.460><c> be</c><00:25:01.559><c> much</c><00:25:01.799><c> meeker</c><00:25:02.160><c> and</c>

00:25:02.539 --> 00:25:03.279
much<00:25:02.819><c> lowlier</c>

00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:05.420
and<00:25:03.660><c> not</c><00:25:03.819><c> read</c><00:25:04.000><c> our</c><00:25:04.220><c> Bibles,</c><00:25:04.539><c> there's</c><00:25:04.799><c> no</c><00:25:04.940><c> way</c><00:25:05.039><c> in</c><00:25:05.160><c> the</c><00:25:05.279><c> world</c>

00:25:05.420 --> 00:25:06.660
it's<00:25:05.640><c> going</c><00:25:05.759><c> to</c><00:25:05.960><c> happen.</c>

00:25:07.259 --> 00:25:10.400
It's<00:25:07.500><c> going</c><00:25:07.579><c> to</c><00:25:07.660><c> be</c><00:25:07.799><c> a</c><00:25:07.900><c> sort</c><00:25:07.980><c> of</c><00:25:08.480><c> a</c><00:25:08.579><c> false</c><00:25:08.960><c> humility</c><00:25:09.579><c> that</c><00:25:10.140><c> Paul</c>

00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:12.200
talks<00:25:10.700><c> about</c><00:25:10.940><c> in</c><00:25:11.140><c> Colossians</c><00:25:11.599><c> chapter</c><00:25:11.920><c> 2</c>

00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:15.779
because<00:25:12.440><c> Colossians</c><00:25:12.940><c> and</c><00:25:13.119><c> Ephesians</c><00:25:13.559><c> are</c><00:25:14.299><c> very,</c><00:25:14.640><c> very</c><00:25:14.880><c> similar</c><00:25:15.240><c> epistles</c><00:25:15.640><c> as</c>

00:25:15.779 --> 00:25:16.539
you<00:25:15.940><c> well</c><00:25:16.200><c> know.</c>

00:25:16.539 --> 00:25:19.880
So<00:25:17.400><c> these</c><00:25:17.720><c> things</c><00:25:17.960><c> are</c><00:25:18.380><c> not</c><00:25:18.779><c> things</c><00:25:19.099><c> that</c><00:25:19.240><c> you</c><00:25:19.319><c> can</c><00:25:19.480><c> just</c><00:25:19.720><c> turn</c>

00:25:19.880 --> 00:25:20.440
on<00:25:20.039><c> and</c><00:25:20.180><c> off.</c>

00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:23.960
It's<00:25:20.980><c> got</c><00:25:21.059><c> to</c><00:25:21.200><c> be</c><00:25:21.359><c> the</c><00:25:21.680><c> outworking</c><00:25:22.119><c> of</c><00:25:22.339><c> the</c><00:25:22.559><c> word</c><00:25:22.779><c> in</c><00:25:22.960><c> the</c><00:25:23.160><c> mind.</c>

00:25:24.099 --> 00:25:26.279
So<00:25:24.200><c> we</c><00:25:24.380><c> receive</c><00:25:24.740><c> the</c><00:25:24.920><c> word</c><00:25:25.079><c> with</c><00:25:25.359><c> meekness.</c>

00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:30.019
James<00:25:26.720><c> 3</c><00:25:27.079><c>.13</c><00:25:27.480><c> says</c><00:25:27.700><c> we</c><00:25:27.940><c> manifest</c><00:25:28.500><c> it</c><00:25:28.660><c> in</c><00:25:28.759><c> our</c><00:25:28.960><c> lives.</c>

00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:35.759
1<00:25:30.660><c> Peter</c><00:25:30.980><c> 3</c><00:25:31.359><c>.15</c><00:25:31.859><c> and</c><00:25:32.059><c> 2</c><00:25:32.420><c> Timothy</c><00:25:32.900><c> 2</c><00:25:33.220><c>.25</c><00:25:33.720><c> says</c><00:25:34.160><c> we</c><00:25:34.980><c> spread</c><00:25:35.440><c> the</c>

00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:38.059
truth<00:25:35.980><c> with</c><00:25:36.200><c> meekness.</c>

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:44.019
And<00:25:40.519><c> Galatians</c><00:25:41.039><c> chapter</c><00:25:41.400><c> 6</c><00:25:41.720><c> and</c><00:25:41.900><c> verse</c><00:25:42.099><c> 1</c><00:25:42.420><c> says</c><00:25:42.619><c> we</c><00:25:42.839><c> use</c><00:25:43.140><c> it</c><00:25:43.660><c> in</c>

00:25:44.019 --> 00:25:46.279
approaching<00:25:44.700><c> erring</c><00:25:45.279><c> brethren.</c>

00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:51.420
Alright,<00:25:47.559><c> so</c><00:25:47.799><c> just</c><00:25:48.059><c> leaving</c><00:25:48.339><c> that</c><00:25:48.559><c> at</c><00:25:48.759><c> that,</c><00:25:49.299><c> the</c><00:25:49.400><c> idea</c><00:25:49.799><c> of</c><00:25:50.319><c> submission.</c>

00:25:52.119 --> 00:25:55.420
Some<00:25:52.339><c> have</c><00:25:52.539><c> said</c><00:25:52.759><c> that</c><00:25:52.980><c> the</c><00:25:53.019><c> word</c><00:25:53.279><c> meekness</c><00:25:53.779><c> means</c><00:25:54.339><c> teachableness</c>

00:25:55.420 --> 00:25:58.500
and<00:25:56.240><c> that's</c><00:25:56.480><c> very</c><00:25:56.819><c> true</c><00:25:56.960><c> in</c><00:25:57.119><c> a</c><00:25:57.160><c> lot</c><00:25:57.299><c> of</c><00:25:57.460><c> the</c><00:25:57.599><c> cases.</c>

00:25:58.700 --> 00:26:00.720
In<00:25:58.940><c> fact,</c><00:25:59.039><c> it's</c><00:25:59.240><c> probably</c><00:25:59.619><c> quite</c><00:25:59.960><c> a</c><00:26:00.119><c> good</c><00:26:00.319><c> definition.</c>

00:26:00.940 --> 00:26:03.519
It's<00:26:01.220><c> not</c><00:26:01.440><c> a</c><00:26:02.019><c> total</c><00:26:02.380><c> definition</c><00:26:02.880><c> of</c><00:26:03.059><c> the</c><00:26:03.220><c> word</c>

00:26:03.519 --> 00:26:07.400
but<00:26:04.059><c> certainly</c><00:26:04.519><c> it</c><00:26:04.640><c> would</c><00:26:04.880><c> be</c><00:26:05.099><c> so</c><00:26:05.160><c> in</c><00:26:05.339><c> the</c><00:26:05.359><c> case</c><00:26:05.660><c> of</c><00:26:05.799><c> James</c><00:26:06.140><c> 1</c><00:26:06.680><c>.21</c>

00:26:07.400 --> 00:26:11.160

00:26:11.779 --> 00:26:14.559
So<00:26:11.839><c> in</c><00:26:11.980><c> that</c><00:26:12.220><c> sense</c><00:26:12.480><c> it</c><00:26:12.759><c> does</c><00:26:13.059><c> mean</c><00:26:13.319><c> teachableness</c>

00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:17.720
and<00:26:15.240><c> has</c><00:26:15.500><c> often</c><00:26:15.799><c> been</c><00:26:16.059><c> said</c><00:26:16.240><c> by</c><00:26:16.519><c> our</c><00:26:16.640><c> brethren</c><00:26:16.839><c> over</c><00:26:17.119><c> the</c><00:26:17.299><c> years</c>

00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:20.799
meekness<00:26:18.460><c> is</c><00:26:18.660><c> not</c><00:26:18.839><c> to</c><00:26:19.000><c> be</c><00:26:19.220><c> equated</c><00:26:19.519><c> with</c><00:26:19.740><c> weakness.</c>

00:26:22.099 --> 00:26:22.480
No<00:26:22.200><c> way.</c>

00:26:22.839 --> 00:26:24.859
Moses<00:26:22.940><c> was</c><00:26:23.220><c> the</c><00:26:23.400><c> meekest</c><00:26:23.759><c> of</c><00:26:23.920><c> all</c><00:26:24.099><c> men</c><00:26:24.220><c> we</c><00:26:24.440><c> are</c><00:26:24.579><c> told</c>

00:26:24.859 --> 00:26:27.660
and<00:26:25.339><c> he</c><00:26:25.599><c> certainly</c><00:26:25.900><c> wasn't</c><00:26:26.200><c> a</c><00:26:26.400><c> weak</c><00:26:26.579><c> individual.</c>

00:26:27.940 --> 00:26:31.980
To<00:26:28.119><c> lead</c><00:26:28.839><c> 2</c><00:26:29.200><c> million</c><00:26:29.839><c> renegades</c><00:26:30.440><c> around</c><00:26:30.839><c> the</c><00:26:31.039><c> wilderness</c><00:26:31.339><c> for</c>

00:26:31.980 --> 00:26:32.880
40<00:26:32.259><c> years</c>

00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:36.579
requires<00:26:33.759><c> a</c><00:26:34.359><c> strong</c><00:26:34.599><c> man</c><00:26:35.160><c> and</c><00:26:35.519><c> he</c><00:26:35.720><c> was.</c>

00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:38.680
But<00:26:36.900><c> he</c><00:26:37.039><c> was</c><00:26:37.359><c> a</c><00:26:37.559><c> meek</c><00:26:37.740><c> man.</c>

00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:40.200
He<00:26:39.200><c> submitted</c><00:26:39.500><c> to</c><00:26:39.680><c> God's</c><00:26:40.099><c> will.</c>

00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:42.920
He<00:26:40.420><c> even</c><00:26:40.599><c> submitted</c><00:26:40.819><c> to</c><00:26:40.980><c> the</c><00:26:41.039><c> will</c><00:26:41.140><c> of</c><00:26:41.299><c> the</c><00:26:41.440><c> people</c><00:26:41.640><c> on</c><00:26:41.920><c> occasions.</c>

00:26:43.299 --> 00:26:45.579
But<00:26:43.500><c> meekness</c><00:26:43.859><c> really</c><00:26:44.240><c> requires</c><00:26:44.680><c> a</c><00:26:45.099><c> strength</c>

00:26:45.579 --> 00:26:51.279

00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:09.799

00:27:09.940 --> 00:27:13.059
it<00:27:10.500><c> can</c><00:27:11.059><c> signify</c><00:27:11.579><c> a</c><00:27:11.859><c> largeness</c><00:27:12.339><c> of</c><00:27:12.500><c> view</c><00:27:12.640><c> of</c><00:27:12.859><c> things.</c>

00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:15.640

00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:19.140
We<00:27:17.140><c> don't</c><00:27:17.299><c> want</c><00:27:17.440><c> to</c><00:27:17.440><c> make</c><00:27:17.579><c> the</c><00:27:17.740><c> view</c><00:27:17.920><c> so</c><00:27:18.339><c> large</c><00:27:18.599><c> that</c><00:27:18.779><c> we</c><00:27:18.900><c> can't</c>

00:27:20.740 --> 00:27:24.019
but<00:27:21.299><c> at</c><00:27:21.539><c> times</c><00:27:21.900><c> we</c><00:27:22.240><c> tend</c><00:27:22.539><c> to</c><00:27:22.720><c> view</c><00:27:22.859><c> things</c><00:27:23.380><c> somewhat</c><00:27:23.740><c> microscopically</c>

00:27:24.019 --> 00:27:27.599
and<00:27:24.660><c> we</c><00:27:25.460><c> fail</c><00:27:25.720><c> to</c><00:27:25.940><c> take</c><00:27:26.079><c> in</c><00:27:26.240><c> the</c><00:27:26.319><c> whole</c><00:27:26.519><c> picture.</c>

00:27:30.339 --> 00:27:32.589
Whatever<00:27:30.839><c> the</c><00:27:31.079><c> situation</c><00:27:31.559><c> might</c><00:27:31.839><c> be.</c>

00:27:33.059 --> 00:27:35.880
A<00:27:33.200><c> brother</c><00:27:33.579><c> so</c><00:27:33.880><c> and</c><00:27:34.059><c> so</c><00:27:34.420><c> said</c><00:27:34.660><c> something</c><00:27:34.980><c> to</c><00:27:35.140><c> me</c>

00:27:36.140 --> 00:27:38.460
and<00:27:36.640><c> I</c><00:27:37.140><c> was</c><00:27:37.299><c> upset</c><00:27:37.660><c> by</c><00:27:37.859><c> that</c><00:27:38.059><c> or</c><00:27:38.220><c> something.</c>

00:27:38.700 --> 00:27:41.559
Let's<00:27:39.160><c> say</c><00:27:39.359><c> someone</c><00:27:39.640><c> did</c><00:27:39.920><c> something,</c><00:27:40.279><c> whatever</c><00:27:40.539><c> it</c><00:27:40.700><c> was.</c>

00:27:41.819 --> 00:27:43.980
Then<00:27:42.220><c> how</c><00:27:42.480><c> do</c><00:27:42.619><c> you</c><00:27:42.700><c> handle</c><00:27:42.980><c> that</c><00:27:43.240><c> thing?</c>

00:27:44.019 --> 00:27:46.259
Well,<00:27:44.279><c> it's</c><00:27:44.619><c> going</c><00:27:44.740><c> to</c><00:27:44.940><c> depend</c><00:27:45.160><c> entirely</c><00:27:45.539><c> on</c><00:27:45.740><c> that</c><00:27:45.960><c> person</c>

00:27:46.259 --> 00:27:48.200
and<00:27:46.359><c> you</c><00:27:46.500><c> have</c><00:27:46.640><c> to</c><00:27:46.799><c> take</c><00:27:46.920><c> in</c><00:27:47.059><c> the</c><00:27:47.160><c> whole</c><00:27:47.319><c> picture.</c>

00:27:49.079 --> 00:27:52.000
We've<00:27:49.579><c> got</c><00:27:50.079><c> the</c><00:27:50.660><c> advice</c><00:27:50.960><c> of</c><00:27:51.259><c> Jude,</c><00:27:51.440><c> for</c><00:27:51.640><c> example.</c>

00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:54.700
He<00:27:52.099><c> says</c><00:27:52.279><c> you've</c><00:27:52.480><c> got</c><00:27:52.539><c> to</c><00:27:52.619><c> make</c><00:27:52.779><c> a</c><00:27:52.920><c> difference</c><00:27:53.259><c> between</c><00:27:53.640><c> people.</c>

00:27:54.859 --> 00:27:57.579
There's<00:27:55.000><c> some</c><00:27:55.200><c> that</c><00:27:55.359><c> you've</c><00:27:55.539><c> got</c><00:27:55.640><c> to</c><00:27:55.839><c> save</c><00:27:56.059><c> them</c><00:27:56.240><c> out</c><00:27:56.359><c> of</c><00:27:56.460><c> the</c><00:27:56.640><c> fire.</c>

00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:00.779
So<00:27:58.539><c> if</c><00:27:58.680><c> you</c><00:27:58.880><c> saw</c><00:27:59.039><c> someone</c><00:27:59.339><c> about</c><00:27:59.619><c> to</c><00:27:59.819><c> fall</c><00:27:59.920><c> into</c><00:28:00.099><c> a</c><00:28:00.279><c> fire</c>

00:28:00.779 --> 00:28:03.059
and<00:28:01.460><c> they</c><00:28:01.579><c> were</c><00:28:01.720><c> just</c><00:28:01.920><c> tumbling</c><00:28:02.160><c> over,</c><00:28:02.599><c> you</c><00:28:02.599><c> don't</c><00:28:02.880><c> say,</c>

00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:05.700
now<00:28:03.200><c> look,</c><00:28:03.380><c> I</c><00:28:03.500><c> wonder</c><00:28:03.720><c> where</c><00:28:04.000><c> the</c><00:28:04.500><c> best</c><00:28:04.880><c> spot</c><00:28:05.079><c> is</c><00:28:05.319><c> to</c><00:28:05.519><c> grab</c>

00:28:05.700 --> 00:28:06.240
these<00:28:06.000><c> people</c>

00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:08.319
because<00:28:06.519><c> I</c><00:28:07.079><c> don't</c><00:28:07.259><c> particularly</c><00:28:07.660><c> want</c><00:28:07.859><c> to</c><00:28:08.019><c> hurt</c><00:28:08.140><c> them.</c>

00:28:08.380 --> 00:28:10.019
In<00:28:08.460><c> fact,</c><00:28:08.700><c> perhaps</c><00:28:08.819><c> if</c><00:28:08.920><c> I</c><00:28:08.980><c> went</c><00:28:09.059><c> around</c><00:28:09.240><c> the</c><00:28:09.440><c> other</c><00:28:09.700><c> side</c><00:28:09.839><c> I'd</c>

00:28:10.019 --> 00:28:11.299
get<00:28:10.160><c> a</c><00:28:10.259><c> better</c><00:28:10.420><c> view.</c>

00:28:11.660 --> 00:28:13.579
While<00:28:11.880><c> you're</c><00:28:12.059><c> thinking</c><00:28:12.259><c> all</c><00:28:12.519><c> that</c><00:28:12.720><c> through,</c><00:28:13.019><c> of</c><00:28:13.220><c> course,</c>

00:28:13.940 --> 00:28:16.440
the<00:28:14.140><c> person's</c><00:28:14.779><c> into</c><00:28:15.019><c> the</c><00:28:15.180><c> fire</c><00:28:15.339><c> and</c><00:28:15.619><c> burned.</c>

00:28:17.180 --> 00:28:19.359
So<00:28:17.480><c> there</c><00:28:17.640><c> are</c><00:28:17.819><c> times</c><00:28:18.079><c> when</c><00:28:18.240><c> you've</c><00:28:18.440><c> got</c><00:28:18.519><c> to</c><00:28:18.599><c> act</c><00:28:18.880><c> swiftly</c>

00:28:19.359 --> 00:28:21.039
and<00:28:19.940><c> you</c><00:28:20.099><c> may</c><00:28:20.400><c> think</c><00:28:20.640><c> afterwards,</c>

00:28:21.220 --> 00:28:22.759
well<00:28:21.220><c> perhaps</c><00:28:21.420><c> I</c><00:28:21.539><c> could</c><00:28:21.720><c> have</c><00:28:21.819><c> been</c><00:28:21.980><c> a</c><00:28:22.019><c> little</c><00:28:22.200><c> more</c><00:28:22.440><c> discreet</c>

00:28:22.759 --> 00:28:24.259
or<00:28:22.960><c> perhaps</c><00:28:23.180><c> this</c><00:28:23.380><c> or</c><00:28:23.559><c> perhaps</c><00:28:23.900><c> that,</c>

00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:27.000
but<00:28:24.599><c> you</c><00:28:24.779><c> made</c><00:28:24.980><c> a</c><00:28:25.180><c> decision</c><00:28:25.480><c> that</c><00:28:25.720><c> for</c><00:28:25.859><c> that</c><00:28:26.140><c> person's</c><00:28:26.660><c> benefit</c>

00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:28.900
you<00:28:27.420><c> had</c><00:28:27.599><c> to</c><00:28:27.720><c> act</c><00:28:27.900><c> swiftly.</c>

00:28:30.059 --> 00:28:32.880
But<00:28:30.180><c> by</c><00:28:30.440><c> and</c><00:28:30.599><c> large</c><00:28:30.740><c> what</c><00:28:30.920><c> we're</c><00:28:31.140><c> saying</c><00:28:31.380><c> is</c><00:28:31.660><c> that</c><00:28:32.019><c> in</c><00:28:32.200><c> most</c><00:28:32.380><c> situations</c>

00:28:32.880 --> 00:28:36.759
we<00:28:33.099><c> take</c><00:28:33.299><c> in</c><00:28:33.420><c> the</c><00:28:33.559><c> whole</c><00:28:33.740><c> picture</c><00:28:34.220><c> and</c><00:28:35.099><c> if</c><00:28:35.400><c> somebody</c><00:28:35.779><c> is</c><00:28:36.200><c> erring</c>

00:28:36.759 --> 00:28:40.440
then<00:28:37.240><c> the</c><00:28:37.440><c> chances</c><00:28:37.700><c> are</c><00:28:37.940><c> there</c><00:28:38.380><c> is</c><00:28:38.539><c> need</c><00:28:38.700><c> for</c><00:28:39.099><c> education</c>

00:28:40.619 --> 00:28:43.559
and<00:28:41.059><c> maybe</c><00:28:41.279><c> we've</c><00:28:41.460><c> got</c><00:28:41.480><c> to</c><00:28:41.619><c> take</c><00:28:41.799><c> a</c><00:28:42.500><c> longer</c><00:28:42.799><c> time</c><00:28:43.160><c> to</c><00:28:43.400><c> solve</c>

00:28:43.559 --> 00:28:44.200
that<00:28:43.759><c> problem.</c>

00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:47.160
Not<00:28:44.819><c> always,</c><00:28:45.240><c> but</c><00:28:45.440><c> sometimes.</c><00:28:45.859><c> We've</c><00:28:46.200><c> got</c><00:28:46.279><c> to</c><00:28:46.460><c> assess</c><00:28:46.720><c> that.</c>

00:28:47.160 --> 00:28:50.039
But<00:28:47.960><c> really</c><00:28:48.440><c> I</c><00:28:48.579><c> think</c><00:28:48.799><c> whatever</c><00:28:49.160><c> approach</c><00:28:49.539><c> we</c><00:28:49.740><c> take,</c>

00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:06.480

00:29:14.279 --> 00:29:15.819
and<00:29:14.380><c> throw</c><00:29:14.579><c> them</c><00:29:14.700><c> to</c><00:29:14.859><c> the</c><00:29:15.039><c> ground</c><00:29:15.200><c> or</c><00:29:15.319><c> something</c><00:29:15.559><c> like</c><00:29:15.700><c> that.</c>

00:29:15.819 --> 00:29:17.059
So<00:29:15.900><c> I</c><00:29:15.940><c> don't</c><00:29:15.960><c> want</c><00:29:16.119><c> you</c><00:29:16.200><c> to</c><00:29:16.299><c> go</c><00:29:16.440><c> down</c><00:29:16.599><c> there</c><00:29:16.720><c> because</c><00:29:16.819><c> there's</c>

00:29:17.059 --> 00:29:18.380
a<00:29:17.140><c> fire</c><00:29:17.279><c> there.</c>

00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:21.319
Maybe<00:29:18.960><c> there's</c><00:29:19.299><c> another</c><00:29:19.799><c> way</c><00:29:20.019><c> of</c><00:29:20.059><c> doing</c><00:29:20.319><c> it.</c>

00:29:21.900 --> 00:29:24.059
Well,<00:29:22.380><c> we</c><00:29:22.480><c> can</c><00:29:22.640><c> all</c><00:29:22.779><c> think</c><00:29:22.940><c> of</c><00:29:23.099><c> our</c><00:29:23.279><c> own</c><00:29:23.480><c> illustrations,</c>

00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:28.420
but<00:29:24.519><c> do</c><00:29:24.880><c> we</c><00:29:25.099><c> always</c><00:29:25.559><c> see</c><00:29:26.019><c> the</c><00:29:26.420><c> largeness</c><00:29:26.960><c> of</c><00:29:27.119><c> view</c><00:29:27.240><c> of</c><00:29:27.480><c> things?</c>

00:29:28.660 --> 00:29:31.819
And<00:29:29.099><c> really</c><00:29:29.559><c> this</c><00:29:30.099><c> idea</c><00:29:30.440><c> of</c><00:29:30.640><c> long</c><00:29:30.900><c> suffering,</c>

00:29:32.539 --> 00:29:35.460
I<00:29:32.599><c> think</c><00:29:32.839><c> the</c><00:29:33.059><c> most</c><00:29:33.380><c> powerful</c><00:29:33.799><c> quote</c><00:29:34.039><c> of</c><00:29:34.259><c> all</c><00:29:34.400><c> is</c><00:29:34.579><c> 2</c><00:29:34.779><c> Peter</c><00:29:35.160><c> 3</c>

00:29:36.880 --> 00:29:40.700
that<00:29:37.380><c> God's</c><00:29:38.119><c> long</c><00:29:38.519><c> suffering</c><00:29:38.900><c> is</c><00:29:39.279><c> our</c><00:29:39.559><c> salvation.</c>

00:29:42.019 --> 00:29:44.779
You<00:29:42.079><c> see,</c><00:29:42.660><c> long</c><00:29:42.920><c> suffering</c><00:29:43.319><c> is</c><00:29:43.599><c> not</c><00:29:43.839><c> tolerance</c><00:29:44.259><c> of</c><00:29:44.559><c> evil.</c>

00:29:44.779 --> 00:29:47.539
Long<00:29:45.579><c> suffering</c><00:29:45.980><c> is</c><00:29:46.279><c> a</c><00:29:46.420><c> divine</c><00:29:46.799><c> characteristic.</c>

00:29:47.779 --> 00:29:49.819
Tolerance<00:29:48.200><c> of</c><00:29:48.380><c> evil</c><00:29:48.599><c> is</c><00:29:48.859><c> not.</c>

00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:54.980
We<00:29:50.619><c> know,</c><00:29:50.900><c> don't</c><00:29:51.079><c> we,</c><00:29:51.240><c> that</c><00:29:51.380><c> in</c><00:29:51.539><c> Exodus</c><00:29:51.819><c> 34</c><00:29:52.460><c> when</c><00:29:53.920><c> Yahweh</c><00:29:54.200><c> revealed</c><00:29:54.539><c> His</c><00:29:54.779><c> name,</c>

00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:02.440
Now<00:30:01.000><c> sometimes</c><00:30:01.319><c> we</c><00:30:01.480><c> get</c><00:30:01.700><c> accused</c><00:30:02.079><c> of</c><00:30:02.240><c> saying,</c>

00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:04.799
oh,<00:30:02.720><c> you</c><00:30:02.839><c> shouldn't</c><00:30:03.059><c> be</c><00:30:03.339><c> tolerating</c><00:30:03.759><c> this</c><00:30:03.960><c> and</c><00:30:04.160><c> tolerating</c><00:30:04.599><c> that</c>

00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:05.960
and<00:30:04.980><c> tolerating</c><00:30:05.380><c> something</c><00:30:05.660><c> else.</c>

00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:08.799
If<00:30:06.539><c> we</c><00:30:06.660><c> are</c><00:30:06.880><c> tolerating</c><00:30:07.480><c> something</c><00:30:07.839><c> that</c><00:30:08.059><c> is</c><00:30:08.279><c> wrong</c>

00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:11.480
and<00:30:09.380><c> that</c><00:30:09.559><c> is</c><00:30:09.759><c> detrimental</c><00:30:10.240><c> to</c><00:30:10.440><c> the</c><00:30:10.660><c> truth</c><00:30:10.839><c> and</c><00:30:11.079><c> detrimental</c>

00:30:11.480 --> 00:30:12.220
to<00:30:11.680><c> the</c><00:30:11.799><c> person</c>

00:30:12.220 --> 00:30:15.799

00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:19.299
But<00:30:16.019><c> if</c><00:30:16.160><c> we</c><00:30:16.359><c> have</c><00:30:16.519><c> a</c><00:30:16.700><c> brother</c><00:30:16.880><c> or</c><00:30:17.079><c> sister</c><00:30:17.440><c> who</c><00:30:17.680><c> due</c><00:30:17.859><c> to</c><00:30:18.039><c> some</c><00:30:18.240><c> weakness</c>

00:30:19.960 --> 00:30:22.700
is<00:30:20.359><c> continually</c><00:30:20.759><c> stumbling</c><00:30:21.259><c> along</c><00:30:21.579><c> the</c><00:30:21.740><c> way,</c>

00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:24.440
then<00:30:23.180><c> we've</c><00:30:23.380><c> got</c><00:30:23.460><c> to</c><00:30:23.599><c> take</c><00:30:23.759><c> in</c><00:30:23.880><c> the</c><00:30:24.000><c> whole</c><00:30:24.220><c> picture.</c>

00:30:24.519 --> 00:30:27.700
And<00:30:24.579><c> it</c><00:30:24.759><c> might</c><00:30:24.920><c> be</c><00:30:25.240><c> that</c><00:30:25.940><c> it</c><00:30:26.180><c> could</c><00:30:26.319><c> be</c><00:30:26.460><c> for</c><00:30:26.599><c> all</c><00:30:26.839><c> sorts</c><00:30:27.059><c> of</c><00:30:27.279><c> reasons.</c>

00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:29.960
It<00:30:28.200><c> could</c><00:30:28.339><c> be</c><00:30:28.559><c> something</c><00:30:28.839><c> to</c><00:30:29.059><c> do</c><00:30:29.160><c> with</c><00:30:29.339><c> their</c><00:30:29.579><c> background,</c>

00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:36.519
Maybe<00:30:33.519><c> we've</c><00:30:33.880><c> got</c><00:30:33.980><c> to</c><00:30:34.160><c> suffer</c><00:30:34.319><c> that</c><00:30:34.539><c> person</c><00:30:35.099><c> a</c><00:30:35.440><c> little</c><00:30:35.579><c> longer.</c>

00:30:36.900 --> 00:30:40.099
Notice<00:30:37.079><c> I'm</c><00:30:37.259><c> saying</c><00:30:37.460><c> maybe</c><00:30:37.799><c> because</c><00:30:38.160><c> we've</c><00:30:38.599><c> got</c><00:30:38.660><c> to</c><00:30:38.799><c> make</c><00:30:38.960><c> our</c><00:30:39.119><c> decision.</c>

the<00:30:43.279><c> spot</c><00:30:43.440><c> now.</c>

00:30:44.019 --> 00:30:46.519
This<00:30:44.259><c> person's</c><00:30:44.660><c> got</c><00:30:44.740><c> to</c><00:30:44.940><c> be</c><00:30:45.220><c> withdrawn</c><00:30:45.619><c> from</c><00:30:45.880><c> or</c><00:30:46.220><c> something</c>

Don't<00:30:54.420><c> become</c><00:30:54.859><c> impatient.</c>

00:30:55.740 --> 00:30:58.599
We<00:30:55.980><c> live</c><00:30:56.140><c> in</c><00:30:56.279><c> a</c><00:30:56.380><c> very</c><00:30:56.779><c> impatient</c><00:30:57.240><c> age,</c><00:30:57.579><c> don't</c><00:30:57.779><c> we?</c>

Now<00:31:25.099><c> make</c><00:31:25.259><c> sure</c><00:31:25.460><c> it's</c><00:31:25.900><c> the</c><00:31:26.059><c> godly</c><00:31:26.400><c> attribute.</c>

00:31:27.619 --> 00:31:30.859
The<00:31:27.779><c> godly</c><00:31:28.619><c> attribute</c><00:31:29.119><c> of</c><00:31:29.380><c> long</c><00:31:29.680><c>-suffering</c><00:31:30.039><c> is</c><00:31:30.480><c> of</c><00:31:30.599><c> course</c>

00:31:30.859 --> 00:31:31.940
totally<00:31:31.240><c> different</c>

00:31:31.940 --> 00:31:35.440
from<00:31:32.480><c> the</c><00:31:33.359><c> fleshly</c><00:31:33.759><c> attribute</c><00:31:34.259><c> which</c><00:31:34.839><c> says,</c>

00:31:35.440 --> 00:31:38.819
oh,<00:31:35.980><c> let's</c><00:31:36.420><c> compromise</c><00:31:37.059><c> or</c><00:31:37.519><c> let's</c><00:31:37.980><c> tolerate</c><00:31:38.380><c> or</c><00:31:38.539><c> something</c>

00:31:38.819 --> 00:31:39.299
like<00:31:39.019><c> that.</c>

00:31:39.299 --> 00:31:40.160
They're<00:31:39.480><c> different</c><00:31:39.779><c> things.</c>

00:31:40.380 --> 00:31:43.640
They<00:31:40.539><c> may</c><00:31:40.859><c> appear</c><00:31:41.559><c> to</c><00:31:42.200><c> be</c><00:31:42.359><c> the</c><00:31:42.559><c> same.</c>

00:31:43.779 --> 00:31:46.740
But<00:31:43.880><c> one</c><00:31:44.099><c> is</c><00:31:44.640><c> stemming</c><00:31:44.920><c> from</c><00:31:45.140><c> a</c><00:31:45.299><c> mind</c><00:31:45.500><c> which</c><00:31:45.700><c> is</c><00:31:45.880><c> a</c><00:31:46.079><c> spiritual</c><00:31:46.420><c> mind</c>

00:31:46.740 --> 00:31:49.180
and<00:31:47.160><c> is</c><00:31:47.380><c> seeing</c><00:31:47.519><c> the</c><00:31:47.740><c> incident</c><00:31:48.000><c> through</c><00:31:48.259><c> God's</c><00:31:48.740><c> eyes</c>

00:31:49.180 --> 00:31:52.460

00:31:53.059 --> 00:31:55.660
So<00:31:53.579><c> what</c><00:31:53.720><c> we're</c><00:31:53.920><c> saying</c><00:31:54.140><c> is</c><00:31:54.420><c> that</c><00:31:54.579><c> when</c><00:31:54.720><c> we</c><00:31:55.039><c> allow</c><00:31:55.339><c> something</c>

00:31:55.660 --> 00:31:56.380

00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:59.740
if<00:31:56.819><c> we've</c><00:31:57.099><c> made</c><00:31:57.279><c> that</c><00:31:57.539><c> judgement</c><00:31:57.859><c> on</c><00:31:58.079><c> the</c><00:31:58.279><c> basis</c><00:31:58.619><c> of</c><00:31:58.839><c> the</c><00:31:58.980><c> fact</c><00:31:59.140><c> that</c>

00:31:59.740 --> 00:32:03.240
our<00:32:00.160><c> assessment</c><00:32:00.519><c> of</c><00:32:00.700><c> God's</c><00:32:01.220><c> character</c><00:32:01.680><c> is</c><00:32:02.359><c> that</c><00:32:02.539><c> we</c><00:32:02.799><c> think</c><00:32:02.980><c> that</c><00:32:03.140><c> in</c>

00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:03.740
this<00:32:03.480><c> case</c>

00:32:03.740 --> 00:32:08.480
God<00:32:04.180><c> would</c><00:32:05.000><c> allow</c><00:32:05.559><c> that</c><00:32:05.859><c> person</c><00:32:06.460><c> certain</c><00:32:07.240><c> room</c><00:32:07.660><c> to</c><00:32:07.940><c> move</c><00:32:08.220><c> and</c>

00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:09.200
things<00:32:08.680><c> like</c><00:32:08.980><c> that</c>

00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:12.099
and<00:32:09.720><c> that</c><00:32:09.900><c> eventually</c><00:32:10.500><c> with</c><00:32:11.000><c> a</c><00:32:11.119><c> little</c><00:32:11.299><c> care</c><00:32:11.519><c> they</c><00:32:11.660><c> will</c><00:32:11.859><c> work</c>

00:32:12.099 --> 00:32:12.920
their<00:32:12.279><c> way</c><00:32:12.460><c> through</c><00:32:12.680><c> it</c>

00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:15.180
and<00:32:13.220><c> we</c><00:32:13.319><c> will</c><00:32:13.519><c> guide</c><00:32:13.700><c> them</c><00:32:13.880><c> along</c><00:32:14.079><c> the</c><00:32:14.240><c> way,</c>

00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:16.519
then<00:32:15.400><c> that</c><00:32:15.579><c> is</c><00:32:15.759><c> a</c><00:32:15.859><c> divine</c><00:32:16.099><c> attribute.</c>

00:32:17.019 --> 00:32:19.140

00:32:19.220 --> 00:32:21.400
oh<00:32:19.279><c> look,</c><00:32:19.480><c> someone</c><00:32:19.640><c> would</c><00:32:19.940><c> tell</c><00:32:20.180><c> them,</c><00:32:20.740><c> but</c><00:32:20.940><c> it's</c><00:32:21.059><c> not</c><00:32:21.200><c> me,</c>

00:32:21.539 --> 00:32:22.779
I<00:32:21.839><c> don't</c><00:32:22.039><c> feel</c><00:32:22.180><c> inclined</c><00:32:22.480><c> to</c><00:32:22.619><c> do</c><00:32:22.660><c> that.</c>

00:32:22.859 --> 00:32:23.480
Someone<00:32:23.000><c> else</c><00:32:23.240><c> would</c><00:32:23.339><c> do</c><00:32:23.420><c> it.</c>

00:32:23.559 --> 00:32:27.059
The<00:32:23.619><c> ranging</c><00:32:23.880><c> president</c><00:32:24.140><c> would</c><00:32:24.299><c> do</c><00:32:24.539><c> it</c><00:32:24.740><c> or</c><00:32:25.740><c> the</c><00:32:25.839><c> welfare</c><00:32:26.160><c> committee</c><00:32:26.500><c> would</c><00:32:26.660><c> do</c><00:32:26.900><c> it</c>

00:32:27.059 --> 00:32:28.900
or<00:32:27.240><c> someone</c><00:32:27.480><c> other</c><00:32:27.740><c> than</c><00:32:27.940><c> me.</c>

00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:31.500
That's<00:32:29.440><c> not</c><00:32:29.599><c> long</c><00:32:29.859><c>-suffering</c><00:32:30.160><c> at</c><00:32:30.380><c> all,</c><00:32:30.519><c> is</c><00:32:30.700><c> it?</c>

00:32:31.900 --> 00:32:36.740
So<00:32:32.359><c> long</c><00:32:32.819><c>-suffering</c><00:32:34.079><c> again</c><00:32:34.799><c> has</c><00:32:35.160><c> to</c><00:32:35.339><c> be</c><00:32:35.480><c> the</c><00:32:35.680><c> up</c><00:32:35.859><c>-working</c><00:32:36.099><c> of</c><00:32:36.420><c> a</c>

00:32:46.019 --> 00:32:49.339

00:32:52.500 --> 00:32:55.640

00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:58.119
So<00:37:55.699><c> when</c><00:37:55.880><c> we</c><00:37:56.059><c> keep</c><00:37:56.260><c> saying</c><00:37:56.519><c> the</c><00:37:56.820><c> only</c><00:37:57.199><c> way</c><00:37:57.440><c> to</c><00:37:57.619><c> get</c><00:37:57.719><c> the</c><00:37:57.920><c> unity</c>

00:37:58.119 --> 00:37:58.800
of<00:37:58.300><c> the</c><00:37:58.480><c> spirit</c>

00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:02.079
is<00:37:59.260><c> not</c><00:37:59.500><c> by</c><00:37:59.940><c> necessarily</c><00:38:00.559><c> seeing</c><00:38:00.840><c> big</c><00:38:01.099><c> attendances</c><00:38:01.599><c> at</c>

00:38:02.079 --> 00:38:02.920
ecclesial<00:38:02.480><c> meetings.</c>

00:38:03.360 --> 00:38:08.519
That's<00:38:03.960><c> important</c><00:38:04.539><c> to</c><00:38:04.699><c> get</c><00:38:05.480><c> the</c><00:38:05.760><c> spirit,</c><00:38:06.199><c> to</c><00:38:06.320><c> get</c><00:38:06.699><c> the</c><00:38:06.880><c> opportunity</c><00:38:07.440><c> to</c><00:38:07.820><c> see</c><00:38:08.039><c> unity</c>

00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:13.400
but<00:38:09.019><c> it's</c><00:38:09.199><c> what</c><00:38:09.380><c> we're</c><00:38:09.599><c> doing</c><00:38:09.760><c> at</c><00:38:10.039><c> home</c><00:38:10.440><c> in</c><00:38:12.000><c> our</c><00:38:13.019><c> time</c>

00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:17.900
which<00:38:13.679><c> we</c><00:38:14.199><c> spend</c><00:38:14.659><c> taking</c><00:38:15.480><c> in</c><00:38:15.679><c> the</c><00:38:15.820><c> Word</c><00:38:15.940><c> of</c><00:38:16.139><c> God</c><00:38:16.900><c> or</c><00:38:17.360><c> taking</c><00:38:17.619><c> in</c>

00:38:17.900 --> 00:38:18.619
something<00:38:18.139><c> else</c>

00:38:18.619 --> 00:38:22.139
and<00:38:19.460><c> I</c><00:38:19.739><c> think</c><00:38:19.960><c> many</c><00:38:20.219><c> would</c><00:38:20.460><c> believe</c><00:38:20.880><c> that</c><00:38:21.139><c> we've</c><00:38:21.480><c> got</c><00:38:21.679><c> to</c><00:38:21.920><c> make</c>

00:38:22.139 --> 00:38:24.039
a<00:38:22.800><c> real</c><00:38:23.199><c> major</c><00:38:23.639><c> thrust</c>

00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:28.159
at<00:38:24.920><c> rededicating</c><00:38:25.699><c> ourselves</c><00:38:26.119><c> to</c><00:38:26.420><c> personal</c><00:38:26.900><c> Bible</c><00:38:27.280><c> study</c>

00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:32.099
and<00:38:28.840><c> it</c><00:38:29.320><c> does</c><00:38:29.719><c> appear</c><00:38:30.119><c> in</c><00:38:30.239><c> many</c><00:38:30.480><c> places</c><00:38:30.840><c> that</c><00:38:31.039><c> it</c><00:38:31.619><c> is</c><00:38:31.820><c> perhaps</c>

00:38:32.099 --> 00:38:33.900
becoming<00:38:32.539><c> a</c><00:38:32.739><c> lost</c><00:38:32.980><c> art.</c>

00:38:34.860 --> 00:38:37.159
So<00:38:34.860><c> when</c><00:38:35.239><c> we</c><00:38:35.440><c> talk</c><00:38:35.659><c> about</c><00:38:36.099><c> going</c><00:38:36.460><c> away</c><00:38:36.739><c> and</c><00:38:36.880><c> saying</c><00:38:36.960><c> we</c><00:38:37.039><c> want</c>

00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:38.400
to<00:38:37.260><c> be</c><00:38:37.380><c> more</c><00:38:37.599><c> lowly,</c>

00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:40.099
meet<00:38:38.559><c> long</c><00:38:38.960><c>-suffering</c><00:38:39.300><c> and</c><00:38:39.500><c> forbearing,</c>

00:38:40.579 --> 00:38:43.179
we<00:38:40.699><c> can</c><00:38:40.880><c> only</c><00:38:41.059><c> do</c><00:38:41.260><c> that</c><00:38:41.480><c> if</c><00:38:41.699><c> we</c><00:38:41.880><c> are</c><00:38:42.159><c> studying</c><00:38:42.519><c> our</c><00:38:42.840><c> Bibles.</c>

00:38:43.659 --> 00:38:46.920
It<00:38:43.760><c> is</c><00:38:44.039><c> only</c><00:38:44.539><c> Bible</c><00:38:44.960><c> study</c><00:38:45.280><c> that</c><00:38:45.460><c> will</c><00:38:45.619><c> produce</c><00:38:45.920><c> that.</c>

00:38:47.579 --> 00:38:51.440
Someone<00:38:47.760><c> might</c><00:38:47.960><c> say,</c><00:38:48.199><c> well</c><00:38:48.199><c> the</c><00:38:48.340><c> Bible</c><00:38:48.679><c> study</c><00:38:48.920><c> of</c><00:38:49.059><c> itself</c><00:38:49.500><c> won't</c><00:38:50.079><c> necessarily</c><00:38:50.619><c> produce</c><00:38:51.059><c> it.</c>

00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:53.860
Well<00:38:51.960><c> I</c><00:38:52.019><c> know</c><00:38:52.219><c> there</c><00:38:52.360><c> are</c><00:38:52.500><c> people</c><00:38:52.800><c> that</c><00:38:53.019><c> talk</c><00:38:53.239><c> about</c><00:38:53.500><c> you</c><00:38:53.639><c> can</c>

00:38:53.860 --> 00:38:55.400
study<00:38:54.059><c> the</c><00:38:54.260><c> Bible</c><00:38:54.420><c> and</c><00:38:54.559><c> become</c><00:38:54.900><c> mechanical.</c>

00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:59.340
Well,<00:38:56.900><c> perhaps</c><00:38:57.219><c> some</c><00:38:57.539><c> people</c><00:38:57.800><c> do,</c><00:38:58.239><c> perhaps</c><00:38:58.500><c> they</c><00:38:58.719><c> don't</c>

00:38:59.340 --> 00:39:03.360
but<00:38:59.539><c> the</c><00:38:59.719><c> fact</c><00:38:59.880><c> is</c><00:39:00.119><c> one</c><00:39:00.320><c> thing's</c><00:39:00.579><c> for</c><00:39:00.739><c> sure,</c><00:39:00.880><c> we</c><00:39:01.099><c> can't</c><00:39:01.519><c> develop</c><00:39:01.800><c> it</c><00:39:02.019><c> without</c><00:39:02.340><c> it</c>

00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:08.239
and<00:39:03.699><c> therefore</c><00:39:04.559><c> it</c><00:39:04.780><c> is</c><00:39:05.000><c> necessary</c><00:39:05.519><c> to</c><00:39:06.360><c> develop</c><00:39:06.800><c> the</c><00:39:07.400><c> spirit</c><00:39:07.760><c> thinking</c>

00:39:08.239 --> 00:39:11.699
in<00:39:08.800><c> order</c><00:39:08.960><c> there</c><00:39:09.119><c> might</c><00:39:09.360><c> be</c><00:39:09.659><c> the</c><00:39:09.940><c> unity</c><00:39:10.260><c> of</c><00:39:10.659><c> the</c><00:39:10.880><c> spirit.</c>

00:39:12.800 --> 00:39:16.420
Now<00:39:13.079><c> we're</c><00:39:13.380><c> about</c><00:39:14.219><c> halfway,</c><00:39:15.059><c> well</c><00:39:15.239><c> probably</c><00:39:15.460><c> a</c><00:39:15.460><c> bit</c><00:39:15.719><c> over</c><00:39:15.900><c> halfway</c><00:39:16.199><c> as</c>

00:39:16.420 --> 00:39:17.420
far<00:39:16.559><c> as</c><00:39:16.699><c> time</c><00:39:16.900><c> is</c><00:39:17.139><c> concerned</c>

00:39:17.420 --> 00:39:20.420
and<00:39:17.559><c> we've</c><00:39:17.880><c> only</c><00:39:18.219><c> covered</c><00:39:18.420><c> three</c><00:39:18.719><c> verses</c><00:39:19.039><c> but</c><00:39:19.260><c> that's</c><00:39:20.019><c> fine.</c>

00:39:20.920 --> 00:39:23.739
We're<00:39:21.300><c> going</c><00:39:21.500><c> to</c><00:39:22.000><c> move</c><00:39:22.260><c> through</c><00:39:22.500><c> the</c><00:39:22.659><c> next</c><00:39:22.920><c> few</c><00:39:23.119><c> fairly</c><00:39:23.400><c> quickly</c>

00:39:23.739 --> 00:39:27.019
and<00:39:23.860><c> then</c><00:39:23.880><c> we're</c><00:39:24.039><c> going</c><00:39:24.119><c> to</c><00:39:24.239><c> pick</c><00:39:24.420><c> up</c><00:39:25.059><c> a</c><00:39:25.300><c> very</c><00:39:25.639><c> important</c><00:39:26.239><c> quote</c>

00:39:27.500 --> 00:39:30.000
and<00:39:27.900><c> perhaps</c><00:39:27.980><c> just</c><00:39:28.199><c> before</c><00:39:28.420><c> I</c><00:39:28.619><c> leave</c><00:39:28.760><c> that,</c><00:39:29.079><c> does</c><00:39:29.119><c> anybody</c><00:39:29.420><c> have</c><00:39:29.699><c> an</c>

00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:31.460
observation<00:39:30.460><c> on</c><00:39:30.639><c> any</c><00:39:30.820><c> of</c><00:39:30.940><c> those</c><00:39:31.139><c> words</c>

00:39:31.460 --> 00:39:34.579
or<00:39:31.639><c> come</c><00:39:31.840><c> across</c><00:39:32.119><c> another</c><00:39:33.079><c> translation</c><00:39:33.860><c> or</c><00:39:34.019><c> anything</c><00:39:34.260><c> that's</c>

00:39:34.579 --> 00:39:36.360
of<00:39:34.659><c> value</c><00:39:34.920><c> to</c><00:39:35.119><c> us?</c>

00:39:39.940 --> 00:39:42.820
Alright,<00:39:41.179><c> I'll</c><00:39:41.300><c> only</c><00:39:41.659><c> give</c><00:39:41.780><c> you</c><00:39:41.940><c> half</c><00:39:42.079><c> a</c><00:39:42.239><c> second</c><00:39:42.400><c> to</c><00:39:42.579><c> think</c><00:39:42.699><c> of</c>

00:39:42.820 --> 00:39:45.239
it<00:39:42.960><c> and</c><00:39:43.519><c> I'll</c><00:39:44.039><c> move</c><00:39:44.199><c> on.</c>

00:39:45.380 --> 00:39:48.340
So<00:39:45.579><c> he</c><00:39:45.780><c> says,</c><00:39:46.619><c> verses</c><00:39:47.139><c> four</c><00:39:47.480><c> to</c><00:39:47.599><c> six,</c>

00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:59.639
So<00:39:55.400><c> if</c><00:39:56.000><c> we</c><00:39:56.199><c> agree</c><00:39:56.719><c> that</c><00:39:56.860><c> all</c><00:39:57.119><c> of</c><00:39:57.280><c> those</c><00:39:57.480><c> seven</c><00:39:57.800><c> things</c><00:39:58.139><c> constitute</c><00:39:58.699><c> the</c><00:39:59.039><c> unity</c>

00:39:59.639 --> 00:40:05.059
which<00:40:00.599><c> in</c><00:40:01.079><c> theory</c><00:40:01.840><c> causes</c><00:40:02.840><c> us</c><00:40:03.559><c> to</c><00:40:03.800><c> be</c><00:40:03.940><c> here</c><00:40:04.059><c> tonight</c>

00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:08.500
then<00:40:05.760><c> there's</c><00:40:06.159><c> got</c><00:40:06.280><c> to</c><00:40:06.420><c> be</c><00:40:06.539><c> this</c><00:40:06.840><c> oneness</c><00:40:07.179><c> of</c><00:40:07.480><c> spirit.</c>

00:40:09.320 --> 00:40:11.699
We<00:40:09.519><c> all</c><00:40:09.739><c> worship</c><00:40:10.059><c> the</c><00:40:10.300><c> same</c><00:40:10.519><c> one</c><00:40:10.739><c> God,</c><00:40:11.079><c> don't</c><00:40:11.139><c> we?</c>

00:40:11.699 --> 00:40:16.659
We'll<00:40:12.099><c> be</c><00:40:12.320><c> baptised</c><00:40:12.820><c> into</c><00:40:13.000><c> the</c><00:40:13.159><c> same</c><00:40:13.360><c> body,</c><00:40:15.179><c> same</c><00:40:15.360><c> hope,</c><00:40:16.380><c> same</c>

00:40:16.659 --> 00:40:18.539
faith,<00:40:17.400><c> same</c><00:40:17.599><c> baptism.</c>

00:40:18.659 --> 00:40:21.400
Well<00:40:18.880><c> why</c><00:40:18.960><c> aren't</c><00:40:19.139><c> we</c><00:40:19.260><c> getting</c><00:40:19.440><c> on</c><00:40:19.699><c> better,</c><00:40:20.300><c> says</c><00:40:20.500><c> the</c><00:40:20.739><c> Apostle</c><00:40:21.139><c> Paul</c>

00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:24.099
to<00:40:21.719><c> the</c><00:40:21.940><c> Ephesians</c><00:40:22.579><c> in</c><00:40:23.039><c> effect.</c>

00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:28.099
And<00:40:25.599><c> so</c><00:40:25.760><c> he</c><00:40:25.840><c> says</c><00:40:26.059><c> in</c><00:40:26.199><c> verse</c><00:40:26.420><c> seven,</c>

And<00:43:16.800><c> so</c><00:43:16.980><c> what</c><00:43:17.099><c> did</c><00:43:17.219><c> that</c><00:43:17.440><c> nobleman</c><00:43:17.719><c> do?</c>

00:43:18.940 --> 00:43:22.260
The<00:43:19.179><c> nobleman</c><00:43:19.500><c> left</c><00:43:19.780><c> behind</c><00:43:20.500><c> five</c><00:43:21.320><c> talents</c><00:43:21.559><c> to</c><00:43:21.739><c> this</c><00:43:21.920><c> person,</c>

00:43:22.420 --> 00:43:25.460
two<00:43:22.679><c> talents</c><00:43:22.960><c> to</c><00:43:23.119><c> that</c><00:43:23.340><c> person,</c><00:43:24.079><c> one</c><00:43:24.420><c> talent</c><00:43:24.739><c> to</c><00:43:24.900><c> that</c><00:43:25.159><c> person,</c>

00:43:25.739 --> 00:43:27.880
one<00:43:26.139><c> talent's</c><00:43:26.760><c> weight</c><00:43:27.039><c> of</c><00:43:27.679><c> goods.</c>

00:43:28.139 --> 00:43:30.559
What<00:43:28.340><c> were</c><00:43:28.519><c> the</c><00:43:28.699><c> goods</c><00:43:28.900><c> that</c><00:43:29.079><c> he</c><00:43:29.159><c> left</c><00:43:29.360><c> behind?</c>

00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:35.960
Well,<00:43:35.519><c> what</c><00:43:35.739><c> happened?</c>

00:43:36.039 --> 00:43:39.639
The<00:43:36.179><c> Lord</c><00:43:36.340><c> ascended</c><00:43:36.739><c> to</c><00:43:36.940><c> heaven</c><00:43:37.340><c> and</c><00:43:38.739><c> he</c><00:43:38.840><c> left</c><00:43:38.960><c> something</c><00:43:39.239><c> behind.</c>

00:43:39.679 --> 00:43:41.159
What<00:43:39.820><c> did</c><00:43:39.940><c> he</c><00:43:40.019><c> leave</c><00:43:40.159><c> behind?</c>

00:43:42.539 --> 00:43:44.780
He<00:43:42.980><c> left</c><00:43:43.199><c> behind</c><00:43:43.519><c> some</c><00:43:43.800><c> gifts.</c>

00:43:45.260 --> 00:43:47.179
And<00:43:45.420><c> gifts</c><00:43:45.579><c> are</c><00:43:45.699><c> what</c><00:43:45.820><c> you</c><00:43:45.980><c> give</c><00:43:46.159><c> people.</c>

00:43:47.739 --> 00:43:49.739
So<00:43:47.860><c> he</c><00:43:48.119><c> organised</c><00:43:48.400><c> people</c><00:43:48.639><c> to</c><00:43:48.780><c> be</c><00:43:48.960><c> given</c><00:43:49.159><c> certain</c><00:43:49.539><c> things</c>

00:43:49.739 --> 00:43:51.639
according<00:43:50.179><c> to</c><00:43:50.300><c> their</c><00:43:50.519><c> capacities.</c>

00:43:52.179 --> 00:43:55.639
And<00:43:52.260><c> those</c><00:43:52.519><c> gifts</c><00:43:52.800><c> in</c><00:43:52.960><c> the</c><00:43:53.119><c> first</c><00:43:53.300><c> century</c><00:43:53.699><c> were</c><00:43:53.980><c> called</c><00:43:54.860><c> Holy</c>

00:43:55.639 --> 00:43:58.260
Spirit<00:43:56.880><c> gifts.</c>

00:43:58.820 --> 00:44:00.539
Now,<00:43:58.960><c> of</c><00:43:59.039><c> course,</c><00:43:59.119><c> it's</c><00:43:59.239><c> very</c><00:43:59.559><c> easy</c><00:43:59.780><c> for</c><00:43:59.980><c> us</c><00:44:00.139><c> then</c><00:44:00.280><c> to</c><00:44:00.380><c> think</c>

00:44:00.539 --> 00:44:01.599
about<00:44:00.719><c> the</c><00:44:00.940><c> gifts</c><00:44:01.159><c> part</c><00:44:01.440><c> of</c><00:44:01.519><c> it</c>

00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:04.219
and<00:44:01.659><c> think,</c><00:44:01.800><c> oh,</c><00:44:02.019><c> yes,</c><00:44:02.139><c> this</c><00:44:02.300><c> person</c><00:44:02.639><c> could</c><00:44:03.579><c> do</c><00:44:03.800><c> miracles</c>

00:44:04.219 --> 00:44:05.800
and<00:44:04.340><c> this</c><00:44:04.559><c> person</c><00:44:04.860><c> could</c><00:44:05.079><c> speak</c><00:44:05.360><c> in</c><00:44:05.619><c> tongues.</c>

00:44:06.019 --> 00:44:07.199
Forget<00:44:06.280><c> that</c><00:44:06.519><c> for</c><00:44:06.679><c> the</c><00:44:06.840><c> moment.</c>

00:44:07.199 --> 00:44:11.159
That<00:44:07.739><c> was</c><00:44:07.980><c> the</c><00:44:08.260><c> end</c><00:44:08.519><c> result</c><00:44:09.119><c> of</c><00:44:10.000><c> certain</c><00:44:10.380><c> things</c><00:44:10.760><c> that</c><00:44:10.960><c> these</c>

00:44:11.159 --> 00:44:12.159
people<00:44:11.340><c> were</c><00:44:11.559><c> able</c><00:44:11.679><c> to</c><00:44:11.860><c> do.</c>

00:44:12.500 --> 00:44:17.059
But<00:44:12.539><c> what</c><00:44:12.760><c> he</c><00:44:12.880><c> was</c><00:44:13.039><c> doing</c><00:44:13.280><c> was</c><00:44:13.619><c> he</c><00:44:13.619><c> was</c><00:44:15.300><c> handing</c><00:44:15.380><c> out</c><00:44:15.739><c> to</c><00:44:15.860><c> these</c><00:44:16.019><c> people</c>

00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:22.239
certain<00:44:18.480><c> responsibilities</c><00:44:19.000><c> in</c><00:44:19.420><c> ministering</c><00:44:19.940><c> things</c><00:44:20.320><c> of</c><00:44:21.199><c> spirit.</c>

00:44:24.380 --> 00:44:26.079
So<00:44:24.559><c> the</c><00:44:24.699><c> nobleman</c><00:44:24.940><c> went</c><00:44:25.099><c> into</c><00:44:25.280><c> the</c><00:44:25.460><c> far</c><00:44:25.639><c> country.</c>

00:44:26.539 --> 00:44:32.059
He<00:44:26.699><c> left</c><00:44:26.960><c> behind</c><00:44:28.480><c> areas</c><00:44:29.039><c> of</c><00:44:29.300><c> responsibility,</c><00:44:31.019><c> goods</c><00:44:31.380><c> weighed</c><00:44:31.760><c> out,</c>

00:44:32.119 --> 00:44:35.340
gifts<00:44:32.559><c> which</c><00:44:32.840><c> you</c><00:44:32.980><c> were</c><00:44:33.019><c> to</c><00:44:33.239><c> use</c><00:44:33.559><c> to</c><00:44:34.300><c> administer</c><00:44:34.760><c> in</c><00:44:34.940><c> the</c><00:44:35.059><c> things</c><00:44:35.179><c> of</c>

00:44:35.340 --> 00:44:35.800
the<00:44:35.559><c> spirit.</c>

00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:38.519
When<00:44:36.199><c> he</c><00:44:36.340><c> came</c><00:44:36.559><c> again,</c><00:44:36.940><c> he</c><00:44:37.019><c> expected</c><00:44:37.480><c> to</c><00:44:37.739><c> see</c><00:44:37.900><c> that</c><00:44:38.039><c> that</c><00:44:38.219><c> would</c><00:44:38.400><c> have</c>

00:44:38.519 --> 00:44:40.139
produced<00:44:39.000><c> fruit.</c>

00:44:41.219 --> 00:44:43.360
Now,<00:44:41.420><c> I</c><00:44:41.679><c> deliberately</c><00:44:41.960><c> didn't</c><00:44:42.179><c> turn</c><00:44:42.420><c> up</c><00:44:42.559><c> to</c><00:44:42.659><c> Matthew</c><00:44:42.900><c> 25</c>

00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:44.960
because<00:44:43.659><c> we'd</c><00:44:43.900><c> have</c><00:44:43.980><c> been</c><00:44:44.099><c> there</c><00:44:44.219><c> for</c><00:44:44.380><c> the</c><00:44:44.480><c> rest</c><00:44:44.619><c> of</c><00:44:44.780><c> the</c><00:44:44.840><c> night.</c>

00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:47.099
But<00:44:45.099><c> I</c><00:44:45.199><c> hope</c><00:44:45.300><c> that</c><00:44:45.480><c> wasn't</c><00:44:45.699><c> too</c><00:44:46.000><c> brief.</c>

00:44:48.380 --> 00:44:50.300
But<00:44:48.460><c> look,</c><00:44:48.639><c> let's</c><00:44:48.880><c> go</c><00:44:49.059><c> on</c><00:44:49.219><c> because...</c>

00:44:53.679 --> 00:44:58.920
That's<00:44:54.039><c> because</c><00:44:54.400><c> the</c><00:44:55.340><c> Lord</c><00:44:55.500><c> assessed</c><00:44:55.880><c> that</c><00:44:56.019><c> they</c><00:44:56.159><c> were</c><00:44:56.360><c> capable</c><00:44:56.840><c> of</c><00:44:57.800><c> ministering</c>

00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:00.440
with<00:44:59.159><c> all</c><00:44:59.340><c> those</c><00:44:59.559><c> gifts.</c>

00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:01.739
Not<00:45:00.760><c> to</c><00:45:00.880><c> their</c><00:45:01.039><c> own</c><00:45:01.219><c> advantage.</c>

00:45:01.739 --> 00:45:06.360
So<00:45:02.539><c> according</c><00:45:03.139><c> to</c><00:45:03.380><c> the</c><00:45:03.619><c> measure</c><00:45:03.940><c> of</c><00:45:04.300><c> the</c><00:45:04.579><c> gift</c><00:45:04.980><c> of</c><00:45:06.079><c> Christ.</c>

00:45:06.400 --> 00:45:08.519
So<00:45:06.579><c> it</c><00:45:06.619><c> was</c><00:45:06.820><c> a</c><00:45:07.000><c> gift</c><00:45:07.219><c> of</c><00:45:07.559><c> spirit.</c>

00:45:09.300 --> 00:45:11.139
So<00:45:09.360><c> I</c><00:45:09.360><c> said,</c><00:45:09.659><c> forget</c><00:45:09.880><c> for</c><00:45:10.059><c> a</c><00:45:10.139><c> moment</c><00:45:10.280><c> the</c><00:45:10.579><c> end</c><00:45:10.820><c> result</c>

00:45:11.139 --> 00:45:14.199
because<00:45:11.639><c> when</c><00:45:12.300><c> we</c><00:45:12.480><c> talk</c><00:45:12.619><c> about</c><00:45:12.840><c> Holy</c><00:45:13.139><c> Spirit</c><00:45:13.440><c> gifts,</c>

00:45:14.420 --> 00:45:16.880
we<00:45:14.460><c> automatically</c><00:45:15.280><c> go</c><00:45:15.480><c> into</c><00:45:15.639><c> that</c><00:45:15.900><c> mode,</c><00:45:16.219><c> public</c><00:45:16.559><c> lecture</c>

00:45:16.880 --> 00:45:17.780
mode,<00:45:17.119><c> you</c><00:45:17.280><c> know.</c>

00:45:18.260 --> 00:45:20.039
Tonight<00:45:18.539><c> I've</c><00:45:18.760><c> got</c><00:45:18.880><c> to</c><00:45:19.019><c> prove</c><00:45:19.139><c> that</c><00:45:19.300><c> we</c><00:45:19.420><c> don't</c><00:45:19.539><c> have</c><00:45:19.659><c> the</c><00:45:19.840><c> Holy</c>

00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:20.980
Spirit<00:45:20.300><c> gifts</c><00:45:20.559><c> today.</c>

00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:23.320
But<00:45:21.639><c> of</c><00:45:21.760><c> course</c><00:45:21.880><c> we</c><00:45:21.980><c> don't</c><00:45:22.139><c> have</c><00:45:22.260><c> the</c><00:45:22.420><c> Holy</c><00:45:22.599><c> Spirit</c><00:45:22.880><c> gifts</c><00:45:23.079><c> today.</c>

00:45:23.320 --> 00:45:24.139
We<00:45:23.460><c> know</c><00:45:23.719><c> that.</c>

00:45:24.579 --> 00:45:27.900
But<00:45:24.739><c> there</c><00:45:24.980><c> are</c><00:45:25.159><c> still</c><00:45:25.460><c> ministrations</c><00:45:26.239><c> of</c><00:45:26.599><c> spirit</c>

00:45:28.739 --> 00:45:30.400
that<00:45:29.179><c> we</c><00:45:29.340><c> are</c><00:45:29.360><c> to</c><00:45:29.500><c> be</c><00:45:29.679><c> involved</c><00:45:30.000><c> in</c><00:45:30.179><c> today.</c>

00:45:30.400 --> 00:45:32.860
And<00:45:30.599><c> he's</c><00:45:30.840><c> going</c><00:45:30.980><c> to</c><00:45:31.119><c> deal</c><00:45:31.239><c> with</c><00:45:31.420><c> that</c><00:45:31.539><c> in</c><00:45:31.639><c> just</c><00:45:31.840><c> a</c><00:45:31.980><c> moment.</c>

00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:35.460
But<00:45:33.159><c> to</c><00:45:33.400><c> prove</c><00:45:33.539><c> his</c><00:45:33.900><c> point,</c><00:45:34.340><c> he</c><00:45:34.360><c> says,</c>

00:45:35.519 --> 00:45:37.880
Wherefore,<00:45:36.119><c> verse</c><00:45:36.420><c> 8,</c>

00:45:37.980 --> 00:45:39.059
Wherefore,<00:45:38.400><c> he</c><00:45:38.679><c> saith,</c>

00:45:39.219 --> 00:45:42.300
when<00:45:39.500><c> he</c><00:45:39.719><c> ascended</c><00:45:40.019><c> up</c><00:45:40.280><c> on</c><00:45:40.480><c> high</c><00:45:40.639><c> he</c><00:45:40.900><c> led</c><00:45:41.300><c> captivity</c><00:45:41.840><c> captive</c>

00:45:42.300 --> 00:45:44.579
and<00:45:42.679><c> he</c><00:45:42.860><c> gave</c><00:45:43.059><c> gifts</c><00:45:43.360><c> unto</c><00:45:43.599><c> men.</c>

00:45:46.780 --> 00:45:48.260
Right,<00:45:47.059><c> there's</c><00:45:47.280><c> the</c><00:45:47.480><c> proof.</c>

00:45:48.840 --> 00:45:50.860
So<00:45:49.019><c> when</c><00:45:49.199><c> that</c><00:45:49.480><c> nobleman</c><00:45:49.780><c> went</c><00:45:49.980><c> into</c><00:45:50.139><c> the</c><00:45:50.320><c> far</c><00:45:50.480><c> country</c>

00:45:50.860 --> 00:45:55.420
and<00:45:51.119><c> he</c><00:45:52.139><c> measured</c><00:45:52.380><c> out</c><00:45:53.360><c> certain</c><00:45:53.719><c> units</c><00:45:54.039><c> of</c><00:45:54.219><c> his</c><00:45:54.460><c> goods,</c>

00:45:56.260 --> 00:46:00.400
he<00:45:56.659><c> says</c><00:45:56.920><c> it</c><00:45:57.079><c> was</c><00:45:57.579><c> gifts</c><00:45:57.960><c> of</c><00:45:58.480><c> spirit</c><00:45:58.800><c> that</c><00:45:59.019><c> he</c><00:45:59.099><c> left</c><00:45:59.280><c> behind.</c>

00:46:01.400 --> 00:46:04.260
There<00:46:01.420><c> were</c><00:46:01.579><c> people</c><00:46:01.920><c> like</c><00:46:02.579><c> the</c><00:46:03.179><c> sorcerer</c><00:46:03.639><c> Elimus</c><00:46:03.940><c> who</c><00:46:04.059><c> wanted</c>

00:46:04.260 --> 00:46:04.780
to<00:46:04.460><c> buy</c><00:46:04.659><c> it.</c>

00:46:04.800 --> 00:46:05.940
He<00:46:04.900><c> wasn't</c><00:46:05.219><c> interested</c><00:46:05.440><c> in</c><00:46:05.719><c> spirit.</c>

00:46:06.059 --> 00:46:06.800
He<00:46:06.059><c> just</c><00:46:06.300><c> wanted</c><00:46:06.420><c> the</c><00:46:06.659><c> gift.</c>

00:46:06.920 --> 00:46:08.559
He<00:46:06.940><c> wanted</c><00:46:07.079><c> to</c><00:46:07.179><c> be</c><00:46:07.219><c> able</c><00:46:07.300><c> to</c><00:46:07.400><c> do</c><00:46:07.500><c> miracles.</c>

00:46:09.260 --> 00:46:10.840
But<00:46:09.340><c> the</c><00:46:09.539><c> apostles,</c><00:46:10.260><c> Paul</c><00:46:10.480><c> and</c><00:46:10.639><c> others,</c>

00:46:10.920 --> 00:46:13.019
were<00:46:11.019><c> men</c><00:46:11.219><c> who</c><00:46:11.360><c> were</c><00:46:11.500><c> more</c><00:46:11.679><c> concerned</c><00:46:11.980><c> with</c><00:46:12.219><c> spirit.</c>

00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:15.500
Now,<00:46:13.300><c> why</c><00:46:13.480><c> does</c><00:46:13.699><c> he</c><00:46:13.820><c> quote</c><00:46:14.000><c> Psalm</c><00:46:14.280><c> 68?</c>

00:46:15.639 --> 00:46:17.199
Wherefore,<00:46:16.000><c> he</c><00:46:16.300><c> said,</c>

00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:19.559
here<00:46:17.380><c> comes</c><00:46:17.659><c> the</c><00:46:17.840><c> quote,</c><00:46:18.079><c> Psalm</c><00:46:18.280><c> 68,</c><00:46:18.860><c> verse</c><00:46:19.039><c> 18,</c>

00:46:19.880 --> 00:46:22.480
When<00:46:20.159><c> he</c><00:46:20.360><c> ascended</c><00:46:20.659><c> up</c><00:46:20.900><c> on</c><00:46:21.079><c> high</c><00:46:21.219><c> he</c><00:46:21.380><c> led</c><00:46:21.579><c> captivity</c><00:46:22.099><c> captive</c>

00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:23.739
and<00:46:22.659><c> he</c><00:46:22.780><c> gave</c><00:46:23.000><c> gifts</c><00:46:23.300><c> to</c><00:46:23.519><c> men.</c>

00:46:23.739 --> 00:46:25.920
What<00:46:24.300><c> is</c><00:46:24.619><c> Paul</c><00:46:24.840><c> going</c><00:46:25.000><c> to</c><00:46:25.099><c> be</c><00:46:25.260><c> getting</c><00:46:25.420><c> at</c><00:46:25.639><c> here?</c>

00:46:26.360 --> 00:46:29.380
Let's<00:46:26.739><c> take</c><00:46:27.079><c> in</c><00:46:27.300><c> our</c><00:46:27.639><c> largeness</c><00:46:28.059><c> of</c><00:46:28.199><c> view</c><00:46:28.340><c> of</c><00:46:28.500><c> things</c><00:46:28.639><c> for</c><00:46:28.880><c> a</c><00:46:28.920><c> moment.</c>

00:46:29.820 --> 00:46:31.460
Perhaps<00:46:30.059><c> in</c><00:46:30.219><c> a</c><00:46:30.360><c> different</c><00:46:30.980><c> context,</c>

00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:33.320
we're<00:46:31.699><c> going</c><00:46:31.780><c> to</c><00:46:31.860><c> be</c><00:46:31.980><c> looking</c><00:46:32.119><c> at</c><00:46:32.280><c> the</c><00:46:32.440><c> word.</c>

00:46:34.079 --> 00:46:36.019
He's<00:46:34.400><c> going</c><00:46:34.480><c> to</c><00:46:34.559><c> be</c><00:46:34.760><c> talking</c><00:46:34.940><c> about</c><00:46:35.159><c> our</c><00:46:35.400><c> life</c><00:46:35.559><c> in</c><00:46:35.719><c> the</c><00:46:35.900><c> truth,</c>

00:46:36.119 --> 00:46:37.760
our<00:46:36.239><c> life</c><00:46:36.440><c> in</c><00:46:36.599><c> the</c><00:46:36.800><c> ecclesia.</c>

00:46:38.420 --> 00:46:40.940
Why<00:46:38.639><c> does</c><00:46:38.800><c> he</c><00:46:38.860><c> go</c><00:46:39.019><c> back</c><00:46:39.219><c> and</c><00:46:39.380><c> quote</c><00:46:39.559><c> Psalm</c><00:46:39.860><c> 68?</c>

00:46:41.860 --> 00:46:42.900
Well,<00:46:42.099><c> let's</c><00:46:42.320><c> just</c><00:46:42.559><c> do</c><00:46:42.760><c> that.</c>

00:46:42.900 --> 00:46:45.119
Let's<00:46:43.139><c> just</c><00:46:43.300><c> go</c><00:46:43.440><c> back</c><00:46:43.579><c> to</c><00:46:43.760><c> Psalm</c><00:46:43.940><c> 68.</c>

00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:46.920
And<00:46:45.679><c> it's</c><00:46:46.119><c> one</c><00:46:46.260><c> of</c><00:46:46.340><c> those</c><00:46:46.559><c> occasions</c>

00:46:46.920 --> 00:46:49.260
when<00:46:47.119><c> you</c><00:46:47.300><c> want</c><00:46:47.360><c> to</c><00:46:47.440><c> be</c><00:46:47.599><c> looking</c><00:46:47.760><c> at</c><00:46:47.980><c> both</c><00:46:48.139><c> at</c><00:46:48.400><c> the</c><00:46:48.579><c> same</c><00:46:48.860><c> time.</c>

00:46:49.659 --> 00:46:52.159
So<00:46:49.880><c> we</c><00:46:50.460><c> want</c><00:46:50.699><c> to</c><00:46:50.900><c> keep</c><00:46:51.039><c> Ephesians</c><00:46:51.519><c> 4</c><00:46:51.800><c> there</c>

00:46:52.159 --> 00:46:54.659
and<00:46:52.500><c> Psalm</c><00:46:52.679><c> 68,</c><00:46:53.239><c> verse</c><00:46:53.440><c> 18.</c>

00:47:04.179 --> 00:47:06.719
We'll<00:47:04.780><c> read</c><00:47:04.940><c> Psalm</c><00:47:05.179><c> 68,</c><00:47:05.780><c> verse</c><00:47:05.920><c> 18.</c>

00:47:06.840 --> 00:47:09.639
Thou<00:47:07.239><c> hast</c><00:47:07.500><c> ascended</c><00:47:08.079><c> on</c><00:47:08.539><c> high,</c>

00:47:09.860 --> 00:47:11.679
thou<00:47:10.039><c> hast</c><00:47:10.320><c> led</c><00:47:10.579><c> captivity</c><00:47:11.199><c> captive,</c>

00:47:11.780 --> 00:47:14.320
thou<00:47:11.980><c> hast</c><00:47:12.260><c> received</c><00:47:12.679><c> gifts</c><00:47:13.059><c> for</c><00:47:13.340><c> men.</c>

00:47:15.900 --> 00:47:17.059
Another<00:47:16.159><c> translation</c><00:47:16.760><c> says,</c>

00:47:17.179 --> 00:47:18.820
When<00:47:17.260><c> they</c><00:47:17.460><c> were</c><00:47:17.639><c> ascended</c><00:47:17.960><c> on</c><00:47:18.320><c> high,</c>

00:47:19.320 --> 00:47:21.320
thou<00:47:19.500><c> led</c><00:47:19.679><c> in</c><00:47:19.980><c> procession</c><00:47:20.400><c> a</c><00:47:20.480><c> body</c><00:47:20.760><c> of</c><00:47:21.079><c> captives</c>

00:47:21.320 --> 00:47:23.139
and<00:47:21.579><c> received</c><00:47:22.000><c> gifts</c><00:47:22.400><c> from</c><00:47:22.699><c> men,</c>

00:47:23.460 --> 00:47:24.820
even<00:47:23.739><c> from</c><00:47:24.019><c> the</c><00:47:24.280><c> rebellious,</c>

00:47:24.960 --> 00:47:27.900
that<00:47:25.239><c> Yah</c><00:47:25.559><c> Elohim</c><00:47:26.099><c> might</c><00:47:26.519><c> dwell</c><00:47:26.820><c> there.</c>

00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:30.780
So<00:47:28.860><c> Psalm</c><00:47:29.079><c> 68</c><00:47:29.579><c> says</c><00:47:29.860><c> he</c><00:47:30.039><c> ascended</c><00:47:30.340><c> on</c><00:47:30.639><c> high</c>

00:47:30.780 --> 00:47:33.800
and<00:47:30.920><c> he</c><00:47:31.179><c> received</c><00:47:31.380><c> gifts</c><00:47:31.880><c> for</c><00:47:32.280><c> or</c><00:47:32.559><c> from</c><00:47:32.820><c> men.</c>

00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:37.059
What<00:47:34.659><c> did</c><00:47:35.619><c> Ephesians</c><00:47:36.119><c> say?</c>

00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:42.119
Ephesians<00:47:39.260><c> says</c><00:47:39.800><c> he</c><00:47:40.340><c> gave</c><00:47:40.639><c> gifts</c><00:47:40.960><c> unto</c><00:47:41.300><c> men.</c>

00:47:44.059 --> 00:47:46.280
Now<00:47:44.260><c> that's</c><00:47:44.500><c> interesting,</c><00:47:44.880><c> isn't</c><00:47:45.079><c> it?</c>

00:47:46.719 --> 00:47:51.340
Psalm<00:47:47.019><c> 68,</c><00:47:47.539><c> he</c><00:47:47.840><c> says</c><00:47:47.980><c> he</c><00:47:48.219><c> received</c><00:47:48.579><c> gifts</c><00:47:48.980><c> of</c><00:47:49.360><c> or</c><00:47:49.639><c> from</c><00:47:49.860><c> or</c><00:47:50.079><c> for</c><00:47:50.400><c> men.</c>

00:47:51.400 --> 00:47:54.159
The<00:47:51.840><c> other</c><00:47:52.039><c> one</c><00:47:52.179><c> says</c><00:47:52.300><c> he</c><00:47:52.400><c> gave</c><00:47:52.659><c> gifts</c><00:47:52.960><c> to</c><00:47:53.239><c> men.</c>

00:47:54.440 --> 00:47:56.300
They're<00:47:54.719><c> two</c><00:47:54.940><c> different</c><00:47:55.219><c> things.</c>

00:47:56.519 --> 00:47:57.820
Where's<00:47:56.739><c> the</c><00:47:56.880><c> mistake?</c>

00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:01.880
Well,<00:48:00.440><c> there's</c><00:48:00.579><c> not</c><00:48:00.739><c> a</c><00:48:00.940><c> mistake.</c>

00:48:03.639 --> 00:48:05.760
Well,<00:48:03.800><c> is</c><00:48:03.880><c> Paul</c><00:48:04.119><c> quoting</c><00:48:04.420><c> Psalm</c><00:48:04.739><c> 68</c><00:48:05.179><c> or</c><00:48:05.320><c> isn't</c><00:48:05.539><c> he?</c>

00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:08.260
Yes,<00:48:06.119><c> he's</c><00:48:06.380><c> quoting</c><00:48:06.579><c> Psalm</c><00:48:06.880><c> 68.</c>

00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:11.139
But<00:48:09.079><c> he</c><00:48:09.199><c> wouldn't</c><00:48:09.360><c> be</c><00:48:09.579><c> the</c><00:48:09.739><c> first</c><00:48:09.960><c> of</c><00:48:10.079><c> the</c><00:48:10.219><c> New</c><00:48:10.380><c> Testament</c><00:48:10.739><c> writers</c>

00:48:11.139 --> 00:48:12.900
