00:05:44.879 --> 00:05:48.439
We've<00:05:45.300><c> seen</c><00:05:45.800><c> the</c><00:05:46.319><c> whole</c><00:05:46.779><c> financial</c><00:05:47.379><c> system</c>

00:05:48.620 --> 00:05:52.420

00:05:54.420 --> 00:05:57.339
And<00:05:54.600><c> it's</c><00:05:55.040><c> staggering,</c><00:05:55.259><c> isn't</c><00:05:55.459><c> it,</c><00:05:55.579><c> that</c><00:05:55.740><c> we</c><00:05:55.959><c> came</c><00:05:56.339><c> so</c><00:05:56.920><c> close.</c>

00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.600
And<00:05:57.639><c> there's</c><00:05:58.339><c> a</c><00:05:58.439><c> few</c><00:05:58.620><c> guys</c><00:05:59.199><c> burning</c><00:05:59.879><c> the</c><00:06:00.079><c> midnight</c><00:06:00.319><c> oil,</c>

00:06:03.339 --> 00:06:06.279
And<00:06:03.399><c> if</c><00:06:03.540><c> it</c><00:06:03.740><c> hadn't</c><00:06:03.879><c> worked</c><00:06:04.160><c> out,</c><00:06:04.639><c> who</c><00:06:04.959><c> knows</c><00:06:05.399><c> what</c><00:06:05.980><c> would</c>

00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:06.740
have<00:06:06.500><c> happened?</c>

00:06:06.819 --> 00:06:10.519
And<00:06:06.959><c> nobody</c><00:06:07.180><c> really</c><00:06:07.579><c> knows</c><00:06:07.899><c> quite</c><00:06:08.740><c> what</c><00:06:08.959><c> it</c><00:06:09.160><c> would</c><00:06:09.279><c> have</c><00:06:09.500><c> meant.</c>

00:06:11.779 --> 00:06:17.000
And<00:06:12.379><c> it's</c><00:06:12.980><c> a</c><00:06:13.240><c> phenomenal</c><00:06:13.759><c> thing</c><00:06:14.480><c> to</c><00:06:15.500><c> have</c><00:06:15.740><c> lived</c><00:06:15.939><c> through.</c>

00:06:18.040 --> 00:06:23.899
But<00:06:18.639><c> it's</c><00:06:19.240><c> not</c><00:06:19.560><c> just</c><00:06:19.879><c> change</c><00:06:20.339><c> in</c><00:06:21.720><c> that</c><00:06:22.040><c> big</c><00:06:22.620><c> picture</c><00:06:23.300><c> sense.</c>

00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:25.920
It's<00:06:24.420><c> changing</c><00:06:24.639><c> our</c><00:06:24.920><c> own</c><00:06:25.139><c> lives,</c><00:06:25.800><c> too.</c>

00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.740
Think<00:06:26.339><c> about</c><00:06:26.720><c> where</c><00:06:27.079><c> you</c><00:06:27.420><c> were</c><00:06:28.300><c> 10</c><00:06:29.019><c> years</c><00:06:29.399><c> ago.</c>

00:06:29.740 --> 00:06:33.860
We<00:06:30.019><c> were</c><00:06:30.240><c> just</c><00:06:31.319><c> moving</c><00:06:31.720><c> from</c><00:06:32.779><c> Sunderland</c><00:06:33.300><c> in</c><00:06:33.459><c> the</c><00:06:33.600><c> northeast</c>

00:06:33.860 --> 00:06:34.980
of<00:06:34.079><c> England</c><00:06:34.379><c> to</c><00:06:34.560><c> Scotland.</c>

00:06:35.060 --> 00:06:36.980
We<00:06:35.199><c> never</c><00:06:35.360><c> imagined</c><00:06:35.759><c> we'd</c><00:06:35.959><c> live</c><00:06:36.259><c> in</c><00:06:36.560><c> Scotland,</c>

00:06:37.060 --> 00:06:40.079
much<00:06:37.360><c> less</c><00:06:37.639><c> that</c><00:06:37.759><c> we</c><00:06:37.920><c> would</c><00:06:38.100><c> live</c><00:06:38.500><c> in</c><00:06:39.040><c> Boston</c><00:06:39.420><c> in</c><00:06:39.600><c> America.</c>

00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:41.819
We<00:06:40.660><c> had</c><00:06:40.860><c> no</c><00:06:41.079><c> children</c><00:06:41.480><c> then.</c>

00:06:41.860 --> 00:06:43.699
Now<00:06:42.079><c> we</c><00:06:42.139><c> have</c><00:06:42.360><c> three</c><00:06:42.680><c> of</c><00:06:42.860><c> them.</c>

00:06:44.860 --> 00:06:47.360
And<00:06:45.379><c> I'm</c><00:06:45.860><c> sure</c><00:06:46.000><c> it'll</c><00:06:46.199><c> be</c><00:06:46.399><c> similar</c><00:06:46.600><c> in</c><00:06:46.779><c> your</c><00:06:47.040><c> lives</c>

00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.079
when<00:06:47.540><c> you</c><00:06:47.759><c> think</c><00:06:48.000><c> back</c><00:06:48.540><c> at</c><00:06:49.139><c> what</c><00:06:49.439><c> has</c><00:06:49.680><c> happened,</c>

00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:51.560
how<00:06:50.319><c> your</c><00:06:50.560><c> children</c><00:06:50.899><c> have</c><00:06:51.199><c> grown.</c>

00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:55.879
Perhaps<00:06:52.300><c> people</c><00:06:52.860><c> who</c><00:06:53.060><c> were</c><00:06:53.259><c> dearly</c><00:06:53.660><c> loved</c><00:06:53.899><c> have</c><00:06:54.439><c> fallen</c><00:06:54.839><c> asleep.</c>

00:06:57.079 --> 00:06:59.980

00:07:00.420 --> 00:07:03.220
Physically<00:07:00.939><c> and</c><00:07:01.459><c> spiritually</c><00:07:02.139><c> into</c><00:07:02.439><c> the</c><00:07:02.699><c> saving</c><00:07:02.939><c> name</c>

00:07:05.220 --> 00:07:07.680
And<00:07:05.339><c> we've</c><00:07:05.540><c> all</c><00:07:06.060><c> lived</c><00:07:06.339><c> through</c><00:07:06.879><c> that</c><00:07:07.279><c> change.</c>

00:07:07.779 --> 00:07:11.199
And<00:07:07.860><c> we've</c><00:07:08.079><c> all</c><00:07:08.220><c> had</c><00:07:08.379><c> to</c><00:07:08.920><c> manage</c><00:07:09.279><c> it</c><00:07:09.560><c> and</c><00:07:09.720><c> to</c><00:07:09.939><c> cope</c><00:07:10.160><c> with</c><00:07:10.420><c> it</c><00:07:10.939><c> in</c>

00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.500
It's<00:07:19.040><c> kind</c><00:07:19.220><c> of</c><00:07:19.459><c> weird</c><00:07:19.660><c> now,</c><00:07:19.939><c> isn't</c><00:07:20.100><c> it,</c><00:07:20.300><c> to</c><00:07:20.639><c> imagine</c><00:07:21.000><c> a</c><00:07:21.259><c> world</c>

00:07:41.019 --> 00:07:43.120
And<00:07:41.240><c> we've</c><00:07:41.560><c> moved</c><00:07:41.899><c> from</c><00:07:42.259><c> texting,</c><00:07:42.899><c> which</c>

The<00:13:22.919><c> Lord</c><00:13:23.340><c> is</c><00:13:23.860><c> in</c><00:13:23.980><c> his</c><00:13:24.200><c> holy</c><00:13:24.440><c> temple.</c>

00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.259

00:13:30.259 --> 00:13:33.100

I<00:13:34.240><c> think</c><00:13:34.340><c> it's</c><00:13:34.419><c> a</c><00:13:34.539><c> wonderful</c><00:13:34.919><c> thing.</c>

00:13:36.299 --> 00:13:39.220
Because<00:13:36.639><c> it's</c><00:13:37.039><c> such</c><00:13:37.179><c> an</c><00:13:37.539><c> important</c><00:13:37.860><c> truth,</c><00:13:38.740><c> isn't</c><00:13:38.919><c> it?</c>

00:13:39.220 --> 00:13:42.320
And<00:13:39.919><c> it</c><00:13:40.240><c> takes</c><00:13:40.759><c> us</c><00:13:40.980><c> out</c><00:13:41.440><c> of,</c><00:13:41.899><c> you</c><00:13:42.120><c> know,</c>

We<00:15:00.659><c> talked</c><00:15:00.860><c> about</c><00:15:01.059><c> it</c><00:15:01.240><c> yesterday</c><00:15:01.519><c> when</c><00:15:01.700><c> we</c><00:15:01.860><c> were</c><00:15:01.879><c> looking</c>

00:15:18.759 --> 00:15:21.940

00:15:21.940 --> 00:15:25.379
Once<00:15:22.179><c> that's</c><00:15:22.620><c> trapped</c><00:15:22.899><c> you,</c><00:15:23.899><c> and</c><00:15:24.279><c> through</c><00:15:24.700><c> advertising</c>

00:15:29.620 --> 00:15:31.259
because<00:15:29.919><c> it</c><00:15:30.100><c> is</c><00:15:30.340><c> actually</c><00:15:30.679><c> effective.</c>

00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:33.919
It<00:15:31.860><c> makes</c><00:15:32.120><c> us</c><00:15:32.320><c> want</c><00:15:32.559><c> those</c><00:15:32.840><c> things.</c>

00:15:34.100 --> 00:15:36.320
It<00:15:34.340><c> makes</c><00:15:34.639><c> us</c><00:15:34.840><c> obsess</c><00:15:35.159><c> over</c><00:15:35.480><c> them</c><00:15:35.720><c> and</c><00:15:35.980><c> feel</c>

00:15:55.919 --> 00:15:57.080
It's<00:15:56.179><c> never</c><00:15:56.399><c> going</c><00:15:56.580><c> to</c><00:15:56.799><c> happen.</c>

00:15:57.259 --> 00:15:59.779
And<00:15:57.559><c> yet,</c><00:15:57.799><c> so</c><00:15:58.080><c> often</c><00:15:58.360><c> we</c><00:15:58.580><c> find</c><00:15:58.860><c> ourselves</c><00:15:59.259><c> caught</c><00:15:59.580><c> up</c>

00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:09.460
And<00:16:06.639><c> so</c><00:16:06.960><c> this</c><00:16:07.159><c> passage</c><00:16:07.500><c> then</c><00:16:07.679><c> is</c><00:16:07.879><c> a</c><00:16:08.120><c> contrast,</c><00:16:08.980><c> isn't</c><00:16:09.100><c> it?</c>

00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:11.000
Well,<00:16:09.779><c> is</c><00:16:09.919><c> that</c><00:16:10.120><c> what</c><00:16:10.259><c> we're</c><00:16:10.519><c> going</c><00:16:10.580><c> to</c><00:16:10.740><c> do?</c>

Or<00:16:18.700><c> are</c><00:16:18.860><c> we</c><00:16:18.960><c> going</c><00:16:19.100><c> to</c><00:16:19.379><c> remember</c><00:16:19.899><c> where</c><00:16:20.980><c> our</c><00:16:21.259><c> God</c><00:16:21.399><c> is</c>

00:16:28.019 --> 00:16:29.600
Do<00:16:28.139><c> you</c><00:16:28.159><c> notice</c><00:16:28.419><c> there's</c><00:16:28.620><c> some</c><00:16:28.779><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:16:29.340><c> words,</c>

And<00:16:40.919><c> there</c><00:16:41.120><c> is</c><00:16:41.279><c> no</c><00:16:41.559><c> breath</c><00:16:42.360><c> at</c><00:16:42.940><c> all</c><00:16:43.539><c> in</c><00:16:44.080><c> the</c><00:16:44.200><c> midst</c><00:16:44.419><c> of</c><00:16:44.620><c> it.</c>

00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:49.899
But<00:16:46.940><c> the</c><00:16:47.179><c> Lord</c><00:16:47.620><c> is</c><00:16:48.360><c> in</c><00:16:48.480><c> His</c><00:16:48.639><c> holy</c><00:16:48.860><c> temple.</c>

00:16:55.460 --> 00:16:59.460
So<00:16:56.179><c> whatever</c><00:16:56.559><c> else</c><00:16:57.059><c> is</c><00:16:57.500><c> going</c><00:16:57.740><c> on</c><00:16:57.980><c> in</c><00:16:58.139><c> the</c><00:16:58.379><c> world,</c>

whatever<00:17:11.599><c> technological</c><00:17:12.400><c> change</c><00:17:13.279><c> may</c><00:17:13.920><c> come,</c>

00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.579
when<00:17:15.920><c> all</c><00:17:16.220><c> around</c><00:17:16.619><c> are</c><00:17:16.859><c> losing</c><00:17:17.220><c> their</c><00:17:17.579><c> heads,</c>

00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:21.200
we<00:17:19.559><c> know</c><00:17:19.839><c> where</c><00:17:20.119><c> He</c><00:17:20.339><c> is.</c>

00:17:21.299 --> 00:17:24.119
And<00:17:21.640><c> we</c><00:17:21.799><c> know</c><00:17:22.059><c> in</c><00:17:22.259><c> some</c><00:17:22.480><c> measure</c><00:17:22.759><c> who</c><00:17:23.000><c> He</c><00:17:23.220><c> is.</c>

00:17:24.900 --> 00:17:28.920
And<00:17:25.440><c> what</c><00:17:25.680><c> we</c><00:17:25.940><c> should</c><00:17:26.140><c> be</c><00:17:27.099><c> towards</c><00:17:27.839><c> Him.</c>

00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:32.839
He<00:17:30.859><c> knows</c><00:17:31.180><c> where</c><00:17:31.420><c> He</c><00:17:31.599><c> is.</c>

00:17:33.500 --> 00:17:34.940
And<00:17:33.819><c> we</c><00:17:33.980><c> know</c><00:17:34.240><c> where</c><00:17:34.480><c> He</c><00:17:34.619><c> is.</c>

00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.740
Now,<00:17:35.680><c> sometimes</c><00:17:36.220><c> in</c><00:17:36.400><c> life,</c><00:17:36.700><c> we</c><00:17:36.839><c> don't</c><00:17:37.019><c> know</c><00:17:37.119><c> where</c><00:17:37.319><c> we</c><00:17:37.579><c> are,</c>

00:17:37.740 --> 00:17:38.259
do<00:17:37.940><c> we?</c>

00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:40.579
You<00:17:38.759><c> know,</c><00:17:38.839><c> we</c><00:17:39.039><c> lose</c><00:17:39.339><c> ourselves.</c>

00:17:41.220 --> 00:17:43.140
And<00:17:41.400><c> we</c><00:17:41.519><c> lose</c><00:17:41.799><c> our</c><00:17:42.099><c> direction.</c>

00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:47.640
But<00:17:44.180><c> if</c><00:17:44.380><c> we</c><00:17:44.559><c> can</c><00:17:45.180><c> always</c><00:17:45.680><c> go</c><00:17:46.240><c> back</c><00:17:46.539><c> to</c><00:17:46.779><c> thinking</c><00:17:47.019><c> about</c><00:17:47.359><c> where</c>

00:17:47.640 --> 00:17:48.660
He<00:17:47.819><c> is,</c>

00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.559
then<00:17:49.240><c> we</c><00:17:49.420><c> will</c><00:17:49.579><c> be</c><00:17:49.700><c> able</c><00:17:49.839><c> to</c><00:17:50.140><c> find</c><00:17:50.359><c> ourselves</c><00:17:51.000><c> again</c>

00:17:53.200 --> 00:17:54.980
And<00:17:53.619><c> that's</c><00:17:53.940><c> what</c><00:17:54.140><c> counts,</c><00:17:54.559><c> isn't</c><00:17:54.759><c> it?</c>

00:17:55.079 --> 00:17:58.480
If<00:17:55.259><c> we</c><00:17:55.480><c> always</c><00:17:55.920><c> know</c><00:17:56.099><c> where</c><00:17:56.319><c> He</c><00:17:56.460><c> is,</c><00:17:58.000><c> then</c><00:17:58.180><c> we've</c>

00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:13.319
And<00:18:09.740><c> so</c><00:18:09.819><c> to</c><00:18:10.000><c> some</c><00:18:10.160><c> degree,</c><00:18:10.700><c> we</c><00:18:10.920><c> all</c><00:18:11.960><c> become</c><00:18:12.859><c> involved,</c>

00:18:13.319 --> 00:18:15.099
and<00:18:13.500><c> we</c><00:18:13.859><c> can't</c><00:18:14.019><c> help</c><00:18:14.259><c> it</c><00:18:14.440><c> to</c><00:18:14.559><c> some</c><00:18:14.720><c> extent,</c>

00:18:17.900 --> 00:18:19.460
that's<00:18:18.259><c> going</c><00:18:18.460><c> on</c><00:18:18.660><c> in</c><00:18:18.819><c> this</c><00:18:19.059><c> world.</c>

00:18:19.460 --> 00:18:25.420
But<00:18:20.099><c> if</c><00:18:20.240><c> we</c><00:18:20.359><c> can</c><00:18:20.559><c> remember</c><00:18:20.940><c> this</c><00:18:21.200><c> principle</c><00:18:21.920><c> of</c><00:18:23.839><c> rooting</c><00:18:24.619><c> ourselves</c>

00:18:33.380 --> 00:18:37.900
That<00:18:33.500><c> is</c><00:18:33.740><c> the</c><00:18:33.940><c> first</c><00:18:34.259><c> step</c><00:18:34.759><c> in</c><00:18:35.779><c> change</c><00:18:36.200><c> management</c><00:18:36.759><c> for</c><00:18:37.259><c> the</c><00:18:37.420><c> disciple,</c>

So<00:18:40.140><c> where</c><00:18:40.359><c> is</c><00:18:40.579><c> He</c><00:18:40.740><c> then?</c>

00:18:41.380 --> 00:18:43.079
Well,<00:18:41.539><c> He's</c><00:18:41.700><c> in</c><00:18:41.859><c> His</c><00:18:42.019><c> holy</c><00:18:42.279><c> temple,</c><00:18:42.619><c> of</c><00:18:42.880><c> course.</c>

00:18:43.140 --> 00:18:44.359
The<00:18:43.319><c> verse</c><00:18:43.619><c> tells</c><00:18:43.920><c> us</c><00:18:44.140><c> that.</c>

00:18:44.500 --> 00:18:45.420
But<00:18:44.619><c> what</c><00:18:44.779><c> does</c><00:18:44.920><c> that</c><00:18:45.180><c> mean?</c>

00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:46.559
What<00:18:45.799><c> is</c><00:18:45.980><c> that</c><00:18:46.180><c> temple?</c>

00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:47.980
Well,<00:18:47.000><c> that's</c><00:18:47.339><c> interesting,</c><00:18:47.740><c> isn't</c><00:18:47.900><c> it?</c>

00:18:47.980 --> 00:18:51.359
Because<00:18:48.099><c> you</c><00:18:48.180><c> can</c><00:18:48.359><c> think</c><00:18:48.500><c> about</c><00:18:48.740><c> that</c><00:18:48.960><c> at</c><00:18:49.359><c> several</c><00:18:49.819><c> different</c><00:18:50.259><c> levels.</c>

00:18:52.619 --> 00:18:57.599
And<00:18:52.700><c> in</c><00:18:52.839><c> one</c><00:18:53.000><c> sense,</c><00:18:53.299><c> the</c><00:18:53.380><c> temple</c><00:18:53.660><c> of</c><00:18:53.920><c> God</c><00:18:54.099><c> is</c><00:18:55.599><c> the</c><00:18:56.119><c> Rocky</c><00:18:56.359><c> Mountains.</c>

00:18:57.980 --> 00:18:59.200
It's<00:18:58.200><c> Colorado.</c>

00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:04.940
It's<00:19:00.779><c> this</c><00:19:01.039><c> earth</c><00:19:01.319><c> on</c><00:19:01.579><c> which</c><00:19:01.759><c> we</c><00:19:02.039><c> live</c><00:19:02.220><c> in</c><00:19:02.460><c> all</c><00:19:02.740><c> its</c><00:19:03.500><c> magnificence.</c>

00:19:05.900 --> 00:19:09.579
It's<00:19:06.400><c> a</c><00:19:06.759><c> billion</c><00:19:07.099><c> stars</c><00:19:07.680><c> and</c><00:19:07.880><c> 1</c><00:19:08.240><c>,000</c><00:19:08.420><c> galaxies.</c>

00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:12.319
All<00:19:10.140><c> that</c><00:19:10.380><c> is</c><00:19:10.579><c> the</c><00:19:10.779><c> temple</c><00:19:11.200><c> in</c><00:19:11.599><c> which</c><00:19:11.819><c> God</c><00:19:12.039><c> dwells.</c>

00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:16.160
And<00:19:12.420><c> so</c><00:19:12.539><c> we</c><00:19:12.660><c> can't</c><00:19:13.400><c> get</c><00:19:13.640><c> away</c><00:19:13.900><c> from</c><00:19:14.099><c> Him</c><00:19:14.299><c> in</c><00:19:14.400><c> that</c><00:19:14.640><c> sense,</c><00:19:15.059><c> then,</c><00:19:15.160><c> can</c><00:19:15.319><c> we?</c>

00:19:16.880 --> 00:19:18.599
He's<00:19:17.420><c> always</c><00:19:17.940><c> there.</c>

00:19:19.019 --> 00:19:22.839
And<00:19:19.339><c> we</c><00:19:19.539><c> just</c><00:19:19.880><c> have</c><00:19:20.119><c> to</c><00:19:20.700><c> make</c><00:19:21.420><c> that</c><00:19:21.799><c> connection.</c>

00:19:25.980 --> 00:19:29.220
And<00:19:26.200><c> in</c><00:19:26.420><c> another</c><00:19:26.640><c> sense,</c><00:19:26.920><c> this</c><00:19:27.119><c> is</c><00:19:27.319><c> His</c><00:19:27.460><c> temple,</c><00:19:27.880><c> isn't</c><00:19:27.980><c> it?</c>

00:19:29.640 --> 00:19:32.359
Where<00:19:29.920><c> believers</c><00:19:30.380><c> are</c><00:19:30.660><c> gathered</c><00:19:30.900><c> together</c><00:19:31.380><c> in</c><00:19:31.579><c> His</c><00:19:31.880><c> name,</c>

00:19:32.779 --> 00:19:35.079
that<00:19:33.079><c> is</c><00:19:33.319><c> the</c><00:19:33.480><c> temple</c><00:19:34.019><c> of</c><00:19:34.579><c> the</c><00:19:34.779><c> Lord.</c>

00:19:35.160 --> 00:19:36.460
And<00:19:35.400><c> the</c><00:19:35.539><c> Lord</c><00:19:35.799><c> is</c><00:19:36.119><c> there.</c>

00:19:36.579 --> 00:19:38.500
And<00:19:36.779><c> so</c><00:19:36.920><c> we</c><00:19:37.079><c> should</c><00:19:37.240><c> be</c><00:19:37.500><c> there,</c><00:19:37.799><c> too,</c><00:19:38.079><c> shouldn't</c><00:19:38.259><c> we?</c>

00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:41.319
And<00:19:38.839><c> so</c><00:19:38.960><c> the</c><00:19:39.180><c> ecclesia</c><00:19:39.539><c> becomes</c><00:19:39.980><c> an</c><00:19:40.319><c> anchor</c><00:19:40.599><c> for</c><00:19:40.920><c> us</c>

00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:44.319
in<00:19:41.599><c> this</c><00:19:41.900><c> changing</c><00:19:42.259><c> world,</c><00:19:42.740><c> that</c><00:19:42.940><c> we</c><00:19:43.180><c> always</c><00:19:43.599><c> stay</c><00:19:43.880><c> connected</c>

00:19:44.319 --> 00:19:44.839
to<00:19:44.559><c> it.</c>

00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:47.839
And<00:19:45.039><c> whatever</c><00:19:45.380><c> it's</c><00:19:45.880><c> doing,</c><00:19:46.240><c> we</c><00:19:46.680><c> try</c><00:19:46.980><c> and</c><00:19:47.299><c> commit</c><00:19:47.599><c> to</c>

00:19:47.839 --> 00:19:49.859
and<00:19:48.000><c> become</c><00:19:48.279><c> involved</c><00:19:48.799><c> with.</c>

00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:53.339
There's<00:19:51.460><c> that</c><00:19:51.740><c> kind</c><00:19:51.920><c> of</c><00:19:52.079><c> an</c><00:19:52.240><c> anchor,</c><00:19:52.680><c> too,</c><00:19:52.779><c> isn't</c><00:19:52.980><c> there?</c>

00:19:53.700 --> 00:19:56.200
When<00:19:53.859><c> we</c><00:19:54.079><c> think</c><00:19:54.259><c> about</c><00:19:54.500><c> the</c><00:19:54.700><c> Lord</c><00:19:54.960><c> being</c><00:19:55.259><c> in</c><00:19:55.440><c> His</c><00:19:55.579><c> holy</c><00:19:55.819><c> temple.</c>

00:19:56.440 --> 00:19:58.380
And<00:19:56.559><c> then,</c><00:19:56.680><c> of</c><00:19:56.819><c> course,</c><00:19:56.920><c> there's</c><00:19:57.160><c> a</c><00:19:57.319><c> third</c><00:19:57.519><c> sense,</c><00:19:58.099><c> too.</c>

00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:00.720
Are<00:19:58.779><c> not</c><00:19:58.980><c> our</c><00:19:59.279><c> bodies</c><00:19:59.579><c> supposed</c><00:20:00.059><c> to</c><00:20:00.299><c> be</c>

a<00:20:01.000><c> temple</c><00:20:01.400><c> for</c><00:20:01.759><c> the</c><00:20:01.920><c> living</c><00:20:02.160><c> God?</c>

00:20:02.579 --> 00:20:04.920
That<00:20:02.740><c> we</c><00:20:02.960><c> should</c><00:20:03.200><c> open</c><00:20:03.579><c> the</c><00:20:03.819><c> gates</c><00:20:04.059><c> of</c><00:20:04.319><c> our</c><00:20:04.579><c> lives</c>

00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:08.380
that<00:20:05.539><c> the</c><00:20:06.140><c> King</c><00:20:06.359><c> of</c><00:20:06.680><c> Glory</c><00:20:07.119><c> might</c><00:20:07.500><c> come</c><00:20:07.779><c> in</c><00:20:08.019><c> and</c><00:20:08.220><c> dwell</c>

00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:16.059
So<00:20:14.039><c> that</c><00:20:14.559><c> brings</c><00:20:15.059><c> the</c><00:20:15.259><c> question,</c><00:20:15.940><c> then.</c>

00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:18.920
Well,<00:20:16.779><c> our</c><00:20:17.279><c> body</c><00:20:17.519><c> should</c><00:20:17.759><c> be</c><00:20:17.960><c> a</c><00:20:18.099><c> temple</c><00:20:18.279><c> for</c><00:20:18.539><c> God.</c>

00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:21.940

00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:25.700
And<00:20:22.400><c> there's</c><00:20:22.619><c> an</c><00:20:22.819><c> excitational</c><00:20:23.619><c> challenge</c><00:20:24.220><c> in</c><00:20:24.539><c> that,</c><00:20:25.400><c> then,</c>

00:20:25.779 --> 00:20:27.940
that<00:20:26.240><c> we</c><00:20:26.559><c> fill</c><00:20:26.819><c> ourselves</c><00:20:27.180><c> with</c><00:20:27.359><c> all</c><00:20:27.480><c> this</c><00:20:27.599><c> other</c><00:20:27.779><c> stuff.</c>

00:20:27.980 --> 00:20:30.900
And<00:20:28.099><c> we've</c><00:20:28.299><c> got</c><00:20:28.420><c> to</c><00:20:28.759><c> do</c><00:20:29.420><c> the</c><00:20:29.720><c> spring</c><00:20:29.960><c> cleaning,</c><00:20:30.519><c> haven't</c><00:20:30.720><c> we?</c>

00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:34.279
And<00:20:31.200><c> we've</c><00:20:31.359><c> got</c><00:20:31.420><c> to</c><00:20:31.579><c> get</c><00:20:31.759><c> rid</c><00:20:31.960><c> of</c><00:20:32.200><c> stuff</c><00:20:32.420><c> and</c><00:20:32.660><c> make</c><00:20:32.960><c> space</c><00:20:33.400><c> for</c><00:20:33.599><c> Him</c>

00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:36.140
so<00:20:34.700><c> that</c><00:20:34.859><c> He</c><00:20:35.000><c> can</c><00:20:35.259><c> come</c><00:20:35.539><c> in.</c>

00:20:36.220 --> 00:20:40.700

00:20:44.500 --> 00:20:46.799
where<00:20:44.759><c> God</c><00:20:45.000><c> is,</c><00:20:45.240><c> an</c><00:20:45.480><c> awareness</c><00:20:45.759><c> of</c><00:20:45.940><c> God</c><00:20:46.200><c> in</c><00:20:46.380><c> our</c><00:20:46.599><c> lives.</c>

00:20:47.059 --> 00:20:47.759
Fundamental,<00:20:47.559><c> isn't</c><00:20:47.660><c> it?</c>

00:20:47.759 --> 00:20:48.319
It's<00:20:48.019><c> core.</c>

00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:50.680
He's<00:20:48.720><c> got</c><00:20:48.859><c> to</c><00:20:49.019><c> be</c><00:20:49.099><c> at</c><00:20:49.299><c> the</c><00:20:49.480><c> core</c><00:20:49.759><c> of</c><00:20:50.059><c> who</c><00:20:50.240><c> we</c><00:20:50.480><c> are.</c>

00:20:51.140 --> 00:20:52.519
What's<00:20:51.380><c> another</c><00:20:52.079><c> principle?</c>

00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:56.220
The<00:20:52.779><c> second</c><00:20:53.099><c> one</c><00:20:53.680><c> is</c><00:20:54.359><c> in,</c><00:20:54.740><c> let's</c><00:20:55.039><c> come</c><00:20:55.200><c> in</c><00:20:55.319><c> at</c><00:20:55.440><c> verse</c><00:20:55.660><c> 12.</c>

00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:58.839

00:20:59.180 --> 00:21:01.019
Behold,<00:20:59.660><c> is</c><00:20:59.839><c> it</c><00:20:59.960><c> not</c><00:21:00.099><c> of</c><00:21:00.259><c> the</c><00:21:00.400><c> Lord</c><00:21:00.559><c> of</c><00:21:00.720><c> hosts</c>

00:21:07.819 --> 00:21:10.180
And<00:21:07.960><c> here's</c><00:21:08.160><c> another</c><00:21:08.380><c> Ecclesiastes'</c><00:21:09.339><c> word,</c><00:21:09.599><c> then,</c><00:21:09.720><c> isn't</c><00:21:09.900><c> it?</c>

00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:14.200
That<00:21:10.819><c> it's</c><00:21:11.579><c> God's</c><00:21:12.099><c> design</c><00:21:12.640><c> that</c><00:21:13.000><c> there</c><00:21:13.240><c> are</c><00:21:13.400><c> these</c><00:21:13.660><c> futilities,</c>

00:21:14.380 --> 00:21:16.619
these<00:21:14.599><c> vanities,</c><00:21:15.319><c> this</c><00:21:15.599><c> laboring</c><00:21:16.059><c> for</c><00:21:16.319><c> nothing,</c>

00:21:18.980 --> 00:21:20.619
That's<00:21:19.279><c> God's</c><00:21:19.740><c> doing.</c>

00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:23.480
But<00:21:21.700><c> that's</c><00:21:21.920><c> not</c><00:21:22.099><c> the</c><00:21:22.160><c> end</c><00:21:22.279><c> of</c><00:21:22.500><c> the</c><00:21:22.599><c> story.</c>

00:21:24.119 --> 00:21:27.779
That's<00:21:24.640><c> only</c><00:21:25.160><c> to</c><00:21:25.779><c> make</c><00:21:25.980><c> us</c><00:21:26.400><c> appreciate</c><00:21:26.980><c> and</c><00:21:27.440><c> prepare</c>

00:21:27.779 --> 00:21:29.240
for<00:21:28.140><c> what</c><00:21:28.559><c> is</c><00:21:28.799><c> to</c><00:21:29.039><c> come.</c>

00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:31.200
And<00:21:29.599><c> the</c><00:21:29.839><c> second</c><00:21:30.099><c> assertion</c><00:21:30.680><c> in</c><00:21:30.900><c> Habakkuk</c>

00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:34.660
that<00:21:31.359><c> we're</c><00:21:32.900><c> going</c><00:21:33.000><c> to</c><00:21:33.160><c> use</c><00:21:33.339><c> today</c><00:21:33.720><c> is</c><00:21:33.900><c> in</c><00:21:34.039><c> verse</c><00:21:34.200><c> 14.</c>

00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:36.960
For<00:21:34.880><c> the</c><00:21:35.099><c> earth</c><00:21:35.539><c> shall</c><00:21:35.839><c> be</c><00:21:36.079><c> filled</c><00:21:36.339><c> with</c><00:21:36.500><c> the</c><00:21:36.740><c> knowledge</c>

00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:39.799
of<00:21:37.299><c> the</c><00:21:37.319><c> glory</c><00:21:37.559><c> of</c><00:21:37.720><c> the</c><00:21:37.880><c> Lord</c><00:21:38.140><c> as</c><00:21:38.480><c> the</c><00:21:38.720><c> waters</c><00:21:38.980><c> cover</c><00:21:39.220><c> the</c><00:21:39.480><c> sea.</c>

00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:42.500
So<00:21:40.480><c> we</c><00:21:40.599><c> have</c><00:21:40.720><c> an</c><00:21:40.920><c> awareness</c><00:21:41.140><c> of</c><00:21:41.400><c> God</c><00:21:41.619><c> in</c><00:21:41.920><c> first</c><00:21:42.099><c> place,</c>

00:21:44.099 --> 00:21:46.339
And<00:21:44.359><c> now</c><00:21:44.500><c> we</c><00:21:44.640><c> have</c><00:21:44.839><c> something</c><00:21:45.119><c> else</c><00:21:45.400><c> to</c><00:21:45.579><c> add</c><00:21:45.700><c> to</c><00:21:45.859><c> that,</c><00:21:46.140><c> don't</c><00:21:46.180><c> we?</c>

00:21:46.380 --> 00:21:50.279
Now<00:21:46.599><c> we</c><00:21:46.819><c> have</c><00:21:47.980><c> a</c><00:21:48.660><c> hope</c><00:21:48.839><c> for</c><00:21:49.059><c> the</c><00:21:49.200><c> future,</c>

00:21:51.779 --> 00:21:54.759

00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:57.140
in<00:21:55.259><c> the</c><00:21:55.480><c> big</c><00:21:55.759><c> picture</c><00:21:56.119><c> sense.</c>

00:21:57.160 --> 00:21:59.279
We<00:21:57.460><c> know</c><00:21:57.680><c> that</c><00:21:57.960><c> the</c><00:21:58.200><c> Lord</c><00:21:58.400><c> God</c><00:21:58.700><c> of</c><00:21:58.940><c> heaven</c>

00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:02.279
will<00:21:59.940><c> set</c><00:22:00.180><c> up</c><00:22:00.359><c> a</c><00:22:00.559><c> kingdom</c><00:22:00.859><c> which</c><00:22:01.180><c> shall</c><00:22:01.440><c> not</c><00:22:01.640><c> be</c><00:22:01.880><c> moved.</c>

00:22:02.500 --> 00:22:04.839
And<00:22:02.700><c> the</c><00:22:02.819><c> Lord</c><00:22:02.920><c> Jesus</c><00:22:03.220><c> Christ</c><00:22:03.500><c> will</c><00:22:03.759><c> return</c><00:22:04.200><c> in</c><00:22:04.480><c> glory</c>

00:22:04.839 --> 00:22:07.200
to<00:22:05.259><c> establish</c><00:22:05.799><c> that</c><00:22:06.099><c> kingdom.</c>

00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:13.000
And<00:22:10.819><c> this</c><00:22:11.079><c> principle,</c><00:22:12.500><c> that</c><00:22:12.619><c> the</c><00:22:12.819><c> earth</c>

00:22:13.000 --> 00:22:15.220

00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:17.980
as<00:22:15.440><c> you</c><00:22:15.700><c> well</c><00:22:15.920><c> know,</c><00:22:16.619><c> that</c><00:22:16.900><c> this</c><00:22:17.180><c> isn't</c><00:22:17.420><c> the</c><00:22:17.579><c> only</c><00:22:17.799><c> time</c>

00:22:17.980 --> 00:22:20.200
the<00:22:18.180><c> scriptures</c><00:22:18.420><c> say</c><00:22:18.759><c> this,</c><00:22:19.059><c> is</c><00:22:19.200><c> it?</c>

00:22:20.380 --> 00:22:21.980
They<00:22:20.720><c> say</c><00:22:20.859><c> it</c><00:22:21.099><c> again.</c>

00:22:22.380 --> 00:22:25.420
They<00:22:22.660><c> say</c><00:22:22.759><c> it</c><00:22:23.000><c> again,</c><00:22:24.220><c> at</c><00:22:24.519><c> least</c><00:22:24.799><c> three</c><00:22:25.099><c> times.</c>

00:22:25.519 --> 00:22:27.559
And<00:22:25.599><c> then</c><00:22:25.680><c> there</c><00:22:25.819><c> are</c><00:22:25.880><c> other</c><00:22:26.019><c> passages</c><00:22:26.400><c> which</c><00:22:27.000><c> allude</c>

00:22:27.559 --> 00:22:32.680
to<00:22:27.880><c> the</c><00:22:28.039><c> same</c><00:22:28.279><c> principle,</c><00:22:29.680><c> right</c><00:22:29.960><c> back</c><00:22:30.259><c> from</c><00:22:30.480><c> Numbers,</c><00:22:31.119><c> chapter</c><00:22:31.480><c> 14.</c>

00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:36.259
So<00:22:33.839><c> there</c><00:22:34.440><c> is</c><00:22:34.619><c> this</c><00:22:34.940><c> insistence</c><00:22:35.539><c> in</c><00:22:35.759><c> scripture</c>

00:22:36.259 --> 00:22:40.119
that<00:22:36.819><c> this</c><00:22:37.339><c> future</c><00:22:37.779><c> age</c><00:22:38.319><c> of</c><00:22:38.759><c> glory</c><00:22:39.259><c> is</c><00:22:39.799><c> coming,</c>

00:22:40.380 --> 00:22:43.599
that<00:22:40.440><c> we'll</c><00:22:40.599><c> be</c><00:22:40.759><c> so</c><00:22:41.039><c> different</c><00:22:41.539><c> to</c><00:22:41.940><c> this</c><00:22:42.200><c> current</c><00:22:42.500><c> age</c><00:22:42.859><c> of</c><00:22:43.099><c> vanity</c>

00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:45.299
in<00:22:44.000><c> which</c><00:22:44.240><c> we</c><00:22:44.500><c> live.</c>

00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:47.599
And<00:22:45.819><c> one</c><00:22:46.160><c> metaphor</c><00:22:46.539><c> to</c><00:22:46.740><c> think</c><00:22:46.960><c> about</c><00:22:47.200><c> that</c>

00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:50.599
is<00:22:47.940><c> that</c><00:22:48.420><c> this</c><00:22:48.640><c> is</c><00:22:48.779><c> the</c><00:22:48.960><c> building</c><00:22:49.259><c> site,</c><00:22:50.140><c> isn't</c><00:22:50.299><c> it?</c>

00:22:50.940 --> 00:22:52.460
Architects<00:22:51.539><c> design</c><00:22:51.900><c> buildings,</c>

00:22:52.700 --> 00:22:54.819
they<00:22:52.880><c> don't</c><00:22:53.079><c> design</c><00:22:53.339><c> building</c><00:22:53.740><c> sites.</c>

00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:57.640
And<00:22:55.880><c> God</c><00:22:56.059><c> has</c><00:22:56.259><c> the</c><00:22:56.579><c> design</c><00:22:56.839><c> for</c><00:22:57.099><c> a</c><00:22:57.279><c> building</c>

00:22:57.640 --> 00:23:00.180
which<00:22:58.099><c> will</c><00:22:58.299><c> be</c><00:22:58.519><c> filled</c><00:22:58.680><c> with</c><00:22:58.880><c> his</c><00:22:59.079><c> glory</c><00:22:59.400><c> in</c><00:22:59.579><c> the</c><00:22:59.740><c> future.</c>

00:23:00.180 --> 00:23:02.440
The<00:23:00.839><c> whole</c><00:23:01.099><c> earth</c><00:23:01.319><c> will</c><00:23:01.500><c> be</c><00:23:01.700><c> filled</c><00:23:01.859><c> with</c><00:23:02.059><c> it.</c>

00:23:02.920 --> 00:23:04.619
And<00:23:03.119><c> right</c><00:23:03.259><c> now</c><00:23:03.420><c> we</c><00:23:03.539><c> live</c><00:23:03.680><c> on</c><00:23:03.819><c> the</c><00:23:03.980><c> building</c><00:23:04.240><c> site.</c>

00:23:04.900 --> 00:23:06.740
And<00:23:05.079><c> this</c><00:23:05.259><c> is</c><00:23:05.599><c> a</c><00:23:05.660><c> means</c><00:23:05.940><c> to</c><00:23:06.180><c> an</c><00:23:06.380><c> end.</c>

00:23:07.140 --> 00:23:08.420
And<00:23:07.420><c> the</c><00:23:07.619><c> end</c><00:23:07.900><c> is</c><00:23:08.180><c> coming.</c>

00:23:08.740 --> 00:23:10.460
And<00:23:08.940><c> that's</c><00:23:09.259><c> what</c><00:23:09.420><c> we're</c><00:23:09.640><c> hoping</c><00:23:09.960><c> for.</c>

00:23:10.640 --> 00:23:12.880
And<00:23:10.839><c> that's</c><00:23:11.200><c> what</c><00:23:11.339><c> we're</c><00:23:11.619><c> praying</c><00:23:11.880><c> for.</c>

00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:15.880

00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:20.920
We<00:23:18.200><c> might</c><00:23:18.440><c> speculate</c><00:23:19.059><c> about</c><00:23:19.779><c> political</c><00:23:20.400><c> stability.</c>

00:23:21.119 --> 00:23:23.180
We<00:23:21.140><c> might</c><00:23:21.660><c> speculate</c><00:23:22.220><c> about</c><00:23:22.539><c> resources,</c>

00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:25.740

00:23:40.460 --> 00:23:41.819
that<00:23:40.740><c> means</c><00:23:41.119><c> for</c><00:23:41.339><c> the</c><00:23:41.519><c> world?</c>

00:23:42.259 --> 00:23:45.799
And<00:23:42.380><c> we</c><00:23:42.819><c> can</c><00:23:43.599><c> think</c><00:23:43.920><c> and</c><00:23:44.640><c> speculate</c><00:23:45.140><c> and</c><00:23:45.440><c> worry</c>

00:23:45.799 --> 00:23:48.059
about<00:23:46.099><c> all</c><00:23:46.339><c> those</c><00:23:46.559><c> things,</c><00:23:47.019><c> potentially.</c>

00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:50.380
And<00:23:48.700><c> we</c><00:23:48.799><c> don't</c><00:23:48.980><c> know</c><00:23:49.140><c> how</c><00:23:49.319><c> those</c><00:23:49.519><c> things</c><00:23:49.740><c> will</c><00:23:49.980><c> work</c><00:23:50.200><c> out.</c>

00:23:50.380 --> 00:23:52.519
But<00:23:50.480><c> there</c><00:23:50.660><c> is</c><00:23:50.880><c> something</c><00:23:51.099><c> that</c><00:23:51.299><c> we</c><00:23:51.480><c> do</c><00:23:51.700><c> know.</c>

00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:54.619
We<00:23:53.000><c> do</c><00:23:53.299><c> know</c><00:23:53.500><c> that</c><00:23:53.720><c> the</c><00:23:53.940><c> earth</c><00:23:54.160><c> will</c><00:23:54.359><c> be</c>

00:23:54.619 --> 00:23:56.759
filled<00:23:54.880><c> with</c><00:23:55.180><c> the</c><00:23:55.440><c> knowledge</c><00:23:55.640><c> of</c><00:23:55.819><c> the</c><00:23:56.000><c> glory</c><00:23:56.240><c> of</c><00:23:56.440><c> the</c><00:23:56.579><c> Lord</c>

00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:58.140

00:23:58.140 --> 00:24:00.019
And<00:23:58.460><c> that,</c><00:23:58.960><c> then,</c><00:23:58.960><c> is</c><00:23:59.119><c> the</c><00:23:59.359><c> building</c><00:23:59.619><c> block.</c>

00:24:00.220 --> 00:24:04.079
That,<00:24:00.500><c> then,</c><00:24:01.059><c> is</c><00:24:01.880><c> another</c><00:24:02.259><c> step</c><00:24:02.640><c> in</c><00:24:02.799><c> this</c><00:24:02.960><c> foundation,</c><00:24:03.660><c> isn't</c><00:24:03.839><c> it?</c>

00:24:04.500 --> 00:24:07.599
And<00:24:04.740><c> we</c><00:24:04.940><c> build</c><00:24:05.180><c> our</c><00:24:05.480><c> lives</c><00:24:05.859><c> upon</c><00:24:06.339><c> that,</c>

00:24:07.940 --> 00:24:10.779
not<00:24:08.200><c> upon</c><00:24:08.500><c> our</c><00:24:08.740><c> view</c><00:24:08.859><c> of</c><00:24:09.039><c> any</c><00:24:09.279><c> of</c><00:24:09.440><c> those</c><00:24:09.599><c> other</c><00:24:09.819><c> things.</c>

00:24:11.220 --> 00:24:13.240
Those<00:24:11.480><c> things</c><00:24:11.759><c> are</c><00:24:11.960><c> passing</c><00:24:12.259><c> away.</c>

00:24:13.339 --> 00:24:17.599
This<00:24:13.599><c> is</c><00:24:13.859><c> the</c><00:24:14.079><c> thing</c><00:24:14.359><c> which</c><00:24:14.759><c> will</c><00:24:15.099><c> come</c><00:24:15.400><c> and</c><00:24:15.779><c> will</c><00:24:16.160><c> stand</c><00:24:16.460><c> forever.</c>

00:24:21.660 --> 00:24:23.779
So<00:24:22.059><c> we</c><00:24:22.140><c> have</c><00:24:22.319><c> an</c><00:24:22.500><c> awareness</c><00:24:22.740><c> of</c><00:24:22.960><c> God.</c>

00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:25.740
We<00:24:24.160><c> have</c><00:24:24.380><c> an</c><00:24:24.619><c> awareness</c><00:24:24.900><c> of</c><00:24:25.079><c> the</c><00:24:25.299><c> future,</c>

00:24:26.019 --> 00:24:27.400

00:24:27.400 --> 00:24:31.420
The<00:24:28.200><c> third</c><00:24:28.900><c> building</c><00:24:29.480><c> block,</c><00:24:30.259><c> then,</c><00:24:30.359><c> the</c><00:24:30.539><c> third</c><00:24:30.799><c> foundational</c>

00:24:31.420 --> 00:24:36.200

00:24:36.380 --> 00:24:39.420
And<00:24:36.500><c> it's</c><00:24:38.160><c> about</c><00:24:38.359><c> us.</c>

00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:42.279
So<00:24:40.759><c> all</c><00:24:40.980><c> that</c><00:24:41.200><c> that</c><00:24:41.339><c> we've</c><00:24:41.539><c> talked</c><00:24:41.660><c> about</c><00:24:41.859><c> so</c><00:24:42.119><c> far</c>

00:24:42.279 --> 00:24:44.039
is<00:24:42.480><c> about</c><00:24:42.720><c> God</c><00:24:43.039><c> and</c><00:24:43.259><c> about</c><00:24:43.500><c> his</c><00:24:43.799><c> plan.</c>

00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:45.779
But<00:24:44.319><c> what</c><00:24:44.500><c> about</c><00:24:44.619><c> me</c><00:24:44.859><c> and</c><00:24:44.940><c> what</c><00:24:45.140><c> about</c><00:24:45.339><c> you?</c>

00:24:46.099 --> 00:24:48.440
How<00:24:46.279><c> do</c><00:24:46.519><c> we</c><00:24:46.720><c> fit</c><00:24:46.920><c> into</c><00:24:47.359><c> this?</c>

00:24:52.619 --> 00:24:55.579
Well,<00:24:53.099><c> let's</c><00:24:53.579><c> have</c><00:24:53.700><c> a</c><00:24:53.779><c> look</c><00:24:53.940><c> at</c><00:24:54.119><c> verse</c><00:24:54.420><c> 4.</c>

00:24:55.980 --> 00:25:02.420
Behold,<00:24:57.259><c> his</c><00:24:57.500><c> soul</c><00:24:57.799><c> which</c><00:24:58.000><c> is</c><00:24:58.279><c> lifted</c><00:24:58.519><c> up</c><00:24:59.200><c> is</c><00:25:00.180><c> not</c><00:25:00.579><c> upright</c><00:25:01.059><c> in</c><00:25:01.339><c> him,</c>

00:25:02.579 --> 00:25:07.099
but<00:25:02.859><c> the</c><00:25:03.160><c> just</c><00:25:03.839><c> shall</c><00:25:04.359><c> live</c><00:25:05.039><c> by</c><00:25:05.819><c> his</c><00:25:06.180><c> faith.</c>

00:25:09.579 --> 00:25:14.900
So<00:25:10.299><c> we</c><00:25:10.460><c> must</c><00:25:10.640><c> lay</c><00:25:10.859><c> aside</c><00:25:11.200><c> all</c><00:25:11.500><c> pride,</c><00:25:13.119><c> all</c><00:25:13.460><c> thoughts</c><00:25:13.819><c> of</c><00:25:14.539><c> who</c>

00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:20.700

00:25:20.700 --> 00:25:24.839

00:25:24.839 --> 00:25:29.500
comes<00:25:25.319><c> because</c><00:25:26.039><c> of</c><00:25:26.680><c> his</c><00:25:26.900><c> grace</c><00:25:27.240><c> and</c><00:25:27.460><c> our</c><00:25:27.660><c> association</c><00:25:28.259><c> with</c><00:25:28.559><c> him.</c>

00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:34.079
And<00:25:30.680><c> now,</c><00:25:31.779><c> having</c><00:25:32.079><c> laid</c><00:25:32.339><c> those</c><00:25:32.660><c> other</c><00:25:32.900><c> worldly</c><00:25:33.160><c> things</c><00:25:33.460><c> aside,</c>

00:25:34.519 --> 00:25:37.460
we<00:25:34.680><c> must</c><00:25:34.960><c> live</c><00:25:35.680><c> by</c><00:25:36.420><c> faith.</c>

00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:40.839
But<00:25:37.960><c> the</c><00:25:38.240><c> just</c><00:25:38.819><c> shall</c><00:25:39.480><c> live</c><00:25:39.920><c> by</c><00:25:40.279><c> his</c><00:25:40.660><c> faith.</c>

00:25:40.859 --> 00:25:43.640
Now,<00:25:41.059><c> how</c><00:25:41.240><c> important</c><00:25:41.660><c> is</c><00:25:41.940><c> that</c><00:25:42.440><c> little</c><00:25:42.700><c> expression?</c>

00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:47.900
It's<00:25:45.180><c> incredibly</c><00:25:45.660><c> important,</c><00:25:46.460><c> isn't</c><00:25:46.799><c> it?</c>

00:25:48.019 --> 00:25:52.500
And<00:25:48.160><c> we</c><00:25:48.480><c> know</c><00:25:48.700><c> it's</c><00:25:49.079><c> important</c><00:25:49.519><c> not</c><00:25:50.000><c> only</c><00:25:50.299><c> because</c><00:25:50.819><c> of</c><00:25:51.400><c> all</c>

00:27:37.059 --> 00:27:39.539
Well,<00:27:37.339><c> normally</c><00:27:37.599><c> we</c><00:27:37.799><c> think</c><00:27:38.019><c> about</c><00:27:38.299><c> it</c><00:27:38.500><c> as</c><00:27:38.720><c> being</c><00:27:38.920><c> our</c><00:27:39.240><c> faith,</c>

00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:00.019
It<00:27:57.259><c> would</c><00:27:57.420><c> be</c><00:27:57.539><c> no</c><00:27:57.759><c> good,</c><00:27:58.019><c> would</c><00:27:58.180><c> it,</c><00:27:58.279><c> getting</c><00:27:58.480><c> to</c><00:27:58.700><c> the</c><00:27:58.859><c> judgment</c><00:27:59.140><c> seat</c>

00:28:04.880 --> 00:28:06.660
You<00:28:04.900><c> didn't</c><00:28:05.160><c> think</c><00:28:05.420><c> we</c><00:28:05.619><c> really</c><00:28:05.880><c> meant</c><00:28:06.079><c> all</c><00:28:06.319><c> that</c><00:28:06.500><c> stuff</c>

00:28:09.400 --> 00:28:10.779
And<00:28:09.599><c> that</c><00:28:09.640><c> would</c><00:28:09.799><c> be</c><00:28:09.900><c> absurd,</c><00:28:10.460><c> wouldn't</c><00:28:10.599><c> it?</c>

00:28:10.859 --> 00:28:12.640
It's<00:28:11.299><c> inconceivable.</c>

00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:14.119
And<00:28:13.039><c> why</c><00:28:13.180><c> is</c><00:28:13.319><c> it</c><00:28:13.500><c> inconceivable?</c>

00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:16.539
Because<00:28:14.640><c> we</c><00:28:14.859><c> believe</c><00:28:15.319><c> that</c><00:28:15.599><c> God</c><00:28:15.779><c> is</c><00:28:16.019><c> faithful.</c>
