00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:03.620
Change.

00:02:03.920 --> 00:02:06.519
We<00:02:04.140><c> live</c><00:02:04.280><c> in</c><00:02:04.439><c> a</c><00:02:04.719><c> rapidly</c><00:02:05.219><c> changing</c><00:02:05.939><c> world.</c>

00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:14.759

00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:21.259
I<00:02:19.000><c> remember</c><00:02:19.319><c> in</c><00:02:19.479><c> the</c><00:02:19.639><c> company</c><00:02:19.879><c> I</c><00:02:20.120><c> worked</c><00:02:20.280><c> for</c><00:02:20.479><c> in</c><00:02:20.680><c> the</c><00:02:20.680><c> early</c>

of<00:02:34.680><c> things.</c>

00:02:35.270 --> 00:02:39.539
This<00:02:35.599><c> resulted</c><00:02:36.039><c> in</c><00:02:36.560><c> our</c><00:02:36.819><c> management</c><00:02:37.159><c> team</c><00:02:37.500><c> of</c><00:02:37.740><c> two</c><00:02:38.419><c> casualties</c><00:02:38.979><c> who</c><00:02:39.340><c> went</c>

00:02:47.319 --> 00:02:50.000
And<00:02:47.520><c> so</c><00:02:47.979><c> change</c><00:02:48.520><c> is</c><00:02:48.879><c> traumatic.</c>

00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:54.860
It<00:02:51.080><c> creates</c><00:02:51.560><c> damage</c><00:02:52.199><c> to</c><00:02:53.479><c> our</c><00:02:53.659><c> nervous</c><00:02:53.860><c> systems.</c>

00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:01.479

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:51.939
We're<00:04:51.000><c> serving</c><00:04:51.319><c> Christ.</c>

00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:53.639

And<00:05:00.899><c> John</c><00:05:01.079><c> says,</c><00:05:01.579><c> Now,</c><00:05:02.000><c> brethren,</c><00:05:03.779><c> we</c><00:05:03.980><c> are</c><00:05:04.220><c> called</c><00:05:04.360><c> the</c><00:05:04.540><c> sons</c>

00:05:06.420 --> 00:05:08.759
It<00:05:06.519><c> doesn't</c><00:05:06.839><c> appear</c><00:05:07.160><c> yet</c><00:05:07.399><c> what</c><00:05:07.560><c> we</c><00:05:07.759><c> shall</c><00:05:07.980><c> be,</c><00:05:08.199><c> but</c><00:05:08.360><c> we</c><00:05:08.500><c> know</c>

00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:10.819
be<00:05:10.399><c> like</c><00:05:10.540><c> him.</c>

00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:12.379
We<00:05:11.100><c> pray</c><00:05:11.339><c> to</c><00:05:11.500><c> God</c><00:05:11.680><c> we</c><00:05:11.939><c> are.</c>

00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.519
We<00:05:12.740><c> shall</c><00:05:12.899><c> see</c><00:05:13.120><c> him</c><00:05:13.259><c> as</c><00:05:13.420><c> he</c><00:05:13.480><c> is.</c>

00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:17.339
But<00:05:15.480><c> you</c><00:05:15.620><c> see,</c><00:05:15.939><c> there's</c><00:05:16.160><c> the</c><00:05:16.399><c> conflict.</c>

00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:18.899
He<00:05:17.600><c> never</c><00:05:17.920><c> changes.</c>

00:05:19.060 --> 00:05:20.500
Jesus<00:05:19.420><c> Christ</c><00:05:19.759><c> never</c><00:05:20.040><c> changes.</c>

00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.879
But<00:05:21.040><c> the</c><00:05:21.259><c> world</c><00:05:21.579><c> swirling</c><00:05:22.060><c> around</c><00:05:22.319><c> us</c><00:05:22.540><c> does.</c>

00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:24.639
And<00:05:23.420><c> we're</c><00:05:23.779><c> related</c><00:05:24.100><c> to</c><00:05:24.259><c> God.</c>

00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:26.040
And<00:05:24.939><c> we're</c><00:05:25.180><c> related</c><00:05:25.379><c> to</c><00:05:25.560><c> his</c><00:05:25.740><c> son.</c>

00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:27.180
There's<00:05:26.560><c> our</c><00:05:26.759><c> conflict.</c>

00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:32.560
That's<00:05:27.740><c> the</c><00:05:27.879><c> challenge</c><00:05:28.319><c> to</c><00:05:28.579><c> us</c><00:05:29.000><c> as</c><00:05:29.500><c> adults,</c><00:05:29.860><c> to</c><00:05:30.120><c> stand</c><00:05:30.959><c> steadfast</c><00:05:31.860><c> in</c>

00:05:35.220 --> 00:05:38.819
Now,<00:05:37.339><c> let's</c><00:05:37.540><c> be</c><00:05:37.759><c> realistic.</c>

00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:41.639
Things<00:05:40.160><c> do</c><00:05:40.420><c> change.</c>

00:05:44.339 --> 00:05:46.839
I<00:05:44.360><c> mean,</c><00:05:46.040><c> society</c><00:05:46.319><c> changes.</c>

Of<00:05:47.300><c> course</c><00:05:47.420><c> it</c><00:05:47.560><c> does.</c>

00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:50.220
I<00:05:48.379><c> mean,</c><00:05:48.500><c> that's</c><00:05:48.759><c> the</c><00:05:48.899><c> reason</c><00:05:49.120><c> why</c><00:05:49.399><c> we</c><00:05:49.600><c> haven't</c><00:05:49.779><c> all</c><00:05:49.980><c> driven</c>

00:05:51.699 --> 00:05:54.459
And<00:05:52.100><c> I</c><00:05:52.240><c> don't</c><00:05:52.519><c> stand</c><00:05:52.720><c> before</c><00:05:53.100><c> you</c><00:05:53.379><c> tonight</c><00:05:53.620><c> looking</c><00:05:53.899><c> like</c>

00:05:57.620 --> 00:05:59.259
So<00:05:57.879><c> we</c><00:05:58.180><c> change.</c>

00:06:00.060 --> 00:06:02.100
I<00:06:00.120><c> wish</c><00:06:00.259><c> I</c><00:06:00.500><c> sounded</c><00:06:00.740><c> like</c><00:06:01.060><c> Robert</c><00:06:01.259><c> Roberts,</c><00:06:01.680><c> actually.</c>

00:06:05.980 --> 00:06:06.779
And<00:06:06.220><c> things</c><00:06:06.420><c> change.</c>

00:06:06.860 --> 00:06:09.439
But<00:06:07.000><c> you</c><00:06:07.199><c> see,</c><00:06:07.879><c> there's</c><00:06:08.079><c> two</c><00:06:08.500><c> sorts</c><00:06:08.839><c> of</c><00:06:09.139><c> changes.</c>

and<00:08:34.940><c> have</c><00:08:35.379><c> the</c><00:08:35.700><c> choice</c><00:08:35.860><c> of</c><00:08:36.059><c> about</c><00:08:36.240><c> three</c><00:08:36.500><c> girlfriends</c><00:08:36.879><c> all</c><00:08:37.179><c> hanging</c><00:08:37.379><c> around</c><00:08:37.659><c> me</c>

00:08:37.860 --> 00:08:39.639
because<00:08:38.059><c> my</c><00:08:38.320><c> breath</c><00:08:38.559><c> smells</c><00:08:38.799><c> sweet</c><00:08:39.120><c> or</c><00:08:39.360><c> something.</c>

00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:44.320
I<00:08:40.139><c> mean,</c><00:08:42.100><c> it</c><00:08:42.440><c> is</c><00:08:42.659><c> subliminal,</c><00:08:43.220><c> but</c><00:08:43.419><c> it's</c><00:08:43.659><c> powerful.</c>

00:08:44.620 --> 00:08:46.299
They<00:08:44.799><c> know</c><00:08:45.000><c> it's</c><00:08:45.220><c> powerful.</c>

00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:50.580
We<00:08:47.519><c> should</c><00:08:47.740><c> resist</c><00:08:48.139><c> that</c><00:08:48.480><c> sort</c><00:08:48.639><c> of</c><00:08:48.840><c> change,</c><00:08:49.340><c> brothers</c><00:08:49.440><c> and</c><00:08:49.679><c> sisters.</c>

00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:55.299
Now,<00:08:53.620><c> it's</c><00:08:54.019><c> a</c><00:08:54.100><c> difficult</c><00:08:54.419><c> job.</c>

00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:59.220
Even<00:08:56.620><c> Jesus</c><00:08:56.940><c> says,</c><00:08:57.299><c> I</c><00:08:57.320><c> don't</c><00:08:57.600><c> pray,</c><00:08:58.159><c> Father,</c><00:08:58.440><c> that</c><00:08:58.639><c> you</c><00:08:58.840><c> should</c><00:08:59.000><c> take</c>

00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:00.600
them<00:08:59.360><c> out</c><00:08:59.519><c> of</c><00:08:59.580><c> the</c><00:08:59.779><c> world.</c>

00:09:00.980 --> 00:09:02.320
Do<00:09:01.179><c> you</c><00:09:01.200><c> imagine</c><00:09:01.500><c> that?</c>

00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:04.799
He<00:09:02.779><c> prays</c><00:09:03.080><c> the</c><00:09:03.240><c> Father,</c><00:09:03.440><c> I</c><00:09:03.580><c> don't</c><00:09:03.840><c> pray,</c><00:09:04.299><c> Father,</c><00:09:04.539><c> that</c><00:09:04.600><c> you</c>

00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:05.700
should<00:09:04.980><c> take</c><00:09:05.240><c> them</c><00:09:05.379><c> out</c><00:09:05.519><c> of</c><00:09:05.559><c> the</c><00:09:05.639><c> world.</c>

00:09:05.740 --> 00:09:07.539
I<00:09:05.799><c> want</c><00:09:06.000><c> them</c><00:09:06.120><c> to</c><00:09:06.379><c> stay</c><00:09:06.539><c> there.</c>

00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:10.019
Because<00:09:08.220><c> the</c><00:09:08.539><c> battle</c><00:09:08.720><c> of</c><00:09:08.899><c> the</c><00:09:09.059><c> world</c><00:09:09.240><c> is</c><00:09:09.460><c> going</c><00:09:09.580><c> to</c><00:09:09.840><c> develop</c>

00:09:10.019 --> 00:09:10.779
their<00:09:10.340><c> characters.</c>

00:09:10.940 --> 00:09:12.500
I<00:09:11.039><c> know</c><00:09:11.279><c> that,</c><00:09:11.639><c> Father.</c>

00:09:13.580 --> 00:09:15.440
He<00:09:13.720><c> says,</c><00:09:14.100><c> I</c><00:09:14.100><c> was</c><00:09:14.340><c> in</c><00:09:14.440><c> the</c><00:09:14.620><c> world.</c>

00:09:15.899 --> 00:09:18.580
So<00:09:16.200><c> he</c><00:09:16.820><c> won</c><00:09:16.980><c> a</c><00:09:17.100><c> victory</c><00:09:17.379><c> over</c><00:09:17.659><c> the</c><00:09:17.799><c> world.</c>

00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:21.019
But<00:09:18.740><c> he</c><00:09:18.899><c> wanted</c><00:09:19.139><c> us</c><00:09:19.480><c> to</c><00:09:19.779><c> be</c><00:09:20.080><c> kept</c><00:09:20.340><c> from</c><00:09:20.620><c> the</c><00:09:20.860><c> evil.</c>

00:09:21.340 --> 00:09:22.940
And<00:09:21.500><c> you</c><00:09:21.659><c> notice</c><00:09:21.879><c> he</c><00:09:22.179><c> prayed</c><00:09:22.539><c> for</c><00:09:22.759><c> that.</c>

00:09:23.179 --> 00:09:27.059
Brothers<00:09:23.279><c> and</c><00:09:23.500><c> sisters,</c><00:09:23.740><c> we</c><00:09:24.000><c> need</c><00:09:24.259><c> to</c><00:09:24.419><c> be</c><00:09:24.759><c> praying</c><00:09:25.559><c> for</c>

00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:30.279
to<00:09:27.679><c> be</c><00:09:27.980><c> protected</c><00:09:28.500><c> against</c><00:09:29.340><c> the</c><00:09:29.600><c> evil</c><00:09:29.700><c> of</c><00:09:29.860><c> the</c><00:09:29.980><c> world.</c>

00:09:30.700 --> 00:09:31.860
Willpower<00:09:31.120><c> is</c><00:09:31.299><c> not</c><00:09:31.539><c> enough.</c>

00:09:32.220 --> 00:09:33.179
Willpower<00:09:32.639><c> is</c><00:09:32.799><c> not</c><00:09:33.000><c> enough.</c>

00:09:33.259 --> 00:09:35.279
We<00:09:33.379><c> need</c><00:09:33.600><c> the</c><00:09:33.879><c> power</c><00:09:34.220><c> of</c><00:09:34.600><c> prayer.</c>

00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:38.240
We<00:09:36.080><c> need</c><00:09:36.299><c> to</c><00:09:36.440><c> ask</c><00:09:36.700><c> God</c><00:09:36.919><c> to</c><00:09:37.259><c> keep</c><00:09:37.299><c> us</c><00:09:37.639><c> from</c><00:09:37.860><c> the</c><00:09:38.080><c> evil.</c>

00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:40.059
It's<00:09:38.519><c> part</c><00:09:38.720><c> of</c><00:09:38.840><c> the</c><00:09:38.940><c> Lord's</c><00:09:39.299><c> prayer.</c>

00:09:43.700 --> 00:09:46.600
Why<00:09:43.799><c> did</c><00:09:44.000><c> Jesus</c><00:09:44.179><c> say,</c><00:09:44.580><c> lead</c><00:09:44.759><c> us</c><00:09:45.039><c> not</c><00:09:45.220><c> into</c><00:09:45.480><c> temptation?</c>

00:09:47.820 --> 00:09:49.059
God<00:09:48.000><c> doesn't</c><00:09:48.379><c> lead</c><00:09:48.720><c> us.</c>

00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.720
He<00:09:49.360><c> might</c><00:09:49.600><c> lead</c><00:09:49.759><c> us</c><00:09:49.960><c> into</c><00:09:50.139><c> trial</c><00:09:50.460><c> and</c><00:09:50.720><c> testing.</c>

00:09:51.860 --> 00:09:58.379
Yes,<00:09:52.220><c> but</c><00:09:52.620><c> you</c><00:09:52.879><c> see,</c><00:09:53.259><c> even</c><00:09:53.500><c> then,</c><00:09:55.700><c> why</c><00:09:55.940><c> would</c><00:09:56.139><c> there</c><00:09:56.259><c> be</c><00:09:56.440><c> a</c><00:09:56.580><c> prayer</c><00:09:56.840><c> not</c><00:09:57.340><c> to?</c>

00:09:59.039 --> 00:10:01.419
Because<00:09:59.399><c> Jesus</c><00:09:59.820><c> knows,</c><00:10:00.179><c> because</c><00:10:00.480><c> he</c><00:10:00.620><c> battled</c><00:10:00.940><c> against</c><00:10:01.279><c> it,</c>

00:10:01.419 --> 00:10:03.159
the<00:10:01.700><c> power</c><00:10:02.259><c> of</c><00:10:02.600><c> human</c><00:10:02.779><c> nature.</c>

00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:04.580
Don't<00:10:03.960><c> invite</c><00:10:04.320><c> it.</c>

00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:06.799
Don't<00:10:05.360><c> invite</c><00:10:05.600><c> it,</c><00:10:05.779><c> he</c><00:10:05.899><c> says.</c>

00:10:07.460 --> 00:10:09.159
Now,<00:10:07.580><c> don't</c><00:10:07.799><c> walk</c><00:10:08.080><c> through</c><00:10:08.279><c> temptation</c><00:10:08.639><c> and</c><00:10:08.820><c> say,</c><00:10:08.860><c> I</c><00:10:08.960><c> can</c>

00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:09.679
handle<00:10:09.419><c> this.</c>

00:10:09.820 --> 00:10:10.940
No<00:10:10.100><c> problem</c><00:10:10.440><c> in</c><00:10:10.600><c> the</c><00:10:10.759><c> world.</c>

00:10:11.019 --> 00:10:11.659
Don't<00:10:11.220><c> worry</c><00:10:11.480><c> me.</c>

00:10:11.659 --> 00:10:12.340
I've<00:10:11.960><c> heard</c><00:10:12.080><c> this.</c>

00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:14.500
Oh,<00:10:12.799><c> that</c><00:10:12.940><c> doesn't</c><00:10:13.179><c> affect</c><00:10:13.419><c> me.</c>

00:10:15.940 --> 00:10:18.200
I<00:10:16.460><c> have</c><00:10:16.620><c> no</c><00:10:16.799><c> conscience</c><00:10:17.179><c> on</c><00:10:17.419><c> that.</c>

00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:20.620
It<00:10:19.019><c> doesn't</c><00:10:19.340><c> affect</c><00:10:19.620><c> me.</c>

00:10:21.779 --> 00:10:25.759
That's<00:10:21.980><c> what</c><00:10:22.139><c> Solomon</c><00:10:22.539><c> said</c><00:10:23.000><c> in</c><00:10:24.159><c> the</c><00:10:24.259><c> opening</c><00:10:24.539><c> chapters</c><00:10:24.899><c> of</c><00:10:25.159><c> Ecclesiastes.</c>

00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:26.980
Oh,<00:10:26.179><c> I</c><00:10:26.460><c> experimented.</c>

00:10:27.059 --> 00:10:30.759
I<00:10:27.139><c> gave</c><00:10:27.320><c> my</c><00:10:27.679><c> heart</c><00:10:27.940><c> to</c><00:10:28.259><c> find</c><00:10:28.460><c> out</c><00:10:29.039><c> all</c><00:10:29.259><c> these</c><00:10:29.559><c> things.</c>

00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:34.100
To<00:10:32.080><c> folly,</c><00:10:32.980><c> to</c><00:10:33.080><c> wine,</c><00:10:33.659><c> to</c><00:10:33.659><c> music.</c>

00:10:34.379 --> 00:10:35.539
Some<00:10:34.580><c> of</c><00:10:34.740><c> them</c><00:10:34.820><c> were</c><00:10:34.960><c> legitimate.</c>

00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:36.960
I<00:10:36.120><c> planted</c><00:10:36.379><c> gardens.</c>

00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:38.539
I<00:10:37.220><c> did</c><00:10:37.419><c> this</c><00:10:37.639><c> and</c><00:10:37.799><c> that.</c>

00:10:38.940 --> 00:10:43.460
All<00:10:39.200><c> the</c><00:10:39.480><c> time,</c><00:10:40.860><c> my</c><00:10:41.100><c> heart</c><00:10:41.480><c> guiding</c><00:10:41.860><c> me</c><00:10:42.120><c> with</c><00:10:42.340><c> wisdom.</c>

00:10:44.259 --> 00:10:45.320
Oh,<00:10:44.580><c> yes?</c>

00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:49.480
Well,<00:10:47.440><c> from</c><00:10:47.639><c> chapter</c><00:10:47.919><c> three</c><00:10:48.179><c> on,</c><00:10:48.600><c> the</c><00:10:48.679><c> scene</c><00:10:48.840><c> changes</c><00:10:49.240><c> a</c><00:10:49.379><c> bit,</c>

00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:49.860
doesn't<00:10:49.700><c> it?</c>

00:10:49.899 --> 00:10:52.279
Because<00:10:50.139><c> he</c><00:10:50.279><c> finds</c><00:10:50.659><c> vanity</c><00:10:51.100><c> and</c><00:10:51.279><c> vexation</c><00:10:51.779><c> of</c><00:10:52.019><c> spirit.</c>

00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:57.759
And<00:10:52.759><c> if</c><00:10:52.820><c> you</c><00:10:52.919><c> go</c><00:10:54.120><c> to</c><00:10:54.259><c> 1</c><00:10:54.419><c> Kings</c><00:10:54.720><c> 11,</c><00:10:55.159><c> you</c><00:10:55.299><c> find</c><00:10:55.519><c> he</c><00:10:55.659><c> was</c><00:10:55.980><c> not</c><00:10:56.279><c> untouched</c>

00:10:58.259 --> 00:10:59.860
by<00:10:58.779><c> the</c><00:10:59.019><c> things</c><00:10:59.299><c> he</c><00:10:59.559><c> indulged.</c>

00:10:59.860 --> 00:11:00.980

00:11:12.019 --> 00:11:17.419

00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:19.519
Thou<00:11:18.019><c> shalt</c><00:11:18.259><c> not</c><00:11:18.539><c> multiply</c><00:11:19.019><c> wives.</c>

00:11:19.779 --> 00:11:21.559
Thou<00:11:19.960><c> shalt</c><00:11:20.179><c> not</c><00:11:20.379><c> multiply</c><00:11:20.840><c> silver</c><00:11:21.139><c> and</c><00:11:21.320><c> gold.</c>

00:11:21.740 --> 00:11:24.720

00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:27.080
And<00:11:26.200><c> that's</c><00:11:26.399><c> exactly</c><00:11:26.679><c> what</c><00:11:26.820><c> he</c><00:11:26.960><c> did.</c>

00:11:27.159 --> 00:11:28.379
One,<00:11:27.399><c> two,</c><00:11:27.580><c> three.</c>

00:11:29.860 --> 00:11:32.259
He<00:11:30.039><c> was</c><00:11:30.220><c> the</c><00:11:30.360><c> wisest</c><00:11:30.679><c> man</c><00:11:30.919><c> that</c><00:11:31.059><c> ever</c><00:11:31.299><c> lived.</c>

00:11:32.740 --> 00:11:37.120
So<00:11:32.879><c> next</c><00:11:33.080><c> time</c><00:11:33.399><c> you</c><00:11:33.659><c> pray,</c><00:11:34.379><c> father,</c><00:11:35.799><c> don't</c><00:11:36.059><c> lead</c><00:11:36.220><c> me</c><00:11:36.399><c> into</c><00:11:36.600><c> temptation</c>

00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:39.980
because<00:11:37.659><c> I</c><00:11:37.960><c> do</c><00:11:38.159><c> not</c><00:11:38.340><c> trust</c><00:11:38.559><c> myself</c><00:11:38.980><c> in</c><00:11:39.159><c> temptation,</c><00:11:39.740><c> father.</c>

00:11:40.059 --> 00:11:43.639
And<00:11:40.139><c> I</c><00:11:40.340><c> pray</c><00:11:40.799><c> that</c><00:11:41.820><c> you'll</c><00:11:42.100><c> keep</c><00:11:42.240><c> me</c><00:11:42.419><c> away</c><00:11:42.600><c> from</c><00:11:42.799><c> the</c><00:11:42.980><c> evil.</c>

00:11:43.740 --> 00:11:46.259
Don't<00:11:43.919><c> be</c><00:11:44.080><c> too</c><00:11:44.360><c> confident</c><00:11:44.759><c> about</c><00:11:45.240><c> resisting</c><00:11:45.840><c> evil.</c>

00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.580
And<00:11:46.620><c> you</c><00:11:46.820><c> tell</c><00:11:46.919><c> your</c><00:11:47.139><c> children</c><00:11:47.360><c> that</c><00:11:47.639><c> too.</c>

00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:51.059
Don't<00:11:49.100><c> let</c><00:11:49.259><c> your</c><00:11:49.399><c> children</c><00:11:49.580><c> tell</c><00:11:49.860><c> you,</c><00:11:50.159><c> oh,</c><00:11:50.500><c> look,</c><00:11:50.820><c> mum</c><00:11:50.919><c> and</c>

00:11:51.059 --> 00:11:52.860
dad,<00:11:51.159><c> that</c><00:11:51.379><c> doesn't</c><00:11:51.700><c> affect</c><00:11:52.019><c> me.</c>

00:11:52.980 --> 00:11:54.980
I<00:11:53.419><c> can</c><00:11:53.799><c> go</c><00:11:54.059><c> to</c><00:11:54.279><c> this</c><00:11:54.419><c> and</c><00:11:54.559><c> go</c><00:11:54.740><c> to</c><00:11:54.879><c> that.</c>

00:11:54.980 --> 00:11:56.700
That<00:11:55.100><c> has</c><00:11:55.279><c> no</c><00:11:55.500><c> effect</c><00:11:55.700><c> on</c><00:11:55.899><c> me.</c>

00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:57.340
It<00:11:56.980><c> does.</c>

00:11:57.500 --> 00:11:59.100
It<00:11:57.700><c> has</c><00:11:57.960><c> a</c><00:11:58.259><c> subliminal</c><00:11:58.740><c> effect.</c>

00:11:59.100 --> 00:12:03.139
Just<00:11:59.659><c> like</c><00:12:00.039><c> the</c><00:12:00.259><c> marketing</c><00:12:00.860><c> does.</c>

00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:08.019
So<00:12:04.360><c> how</c><00:12:04.840><c> do</c><00:12:05.019><c> we</c><00:12:05.600><c> try</c><00:12:05.919><c> and</c><00:12:06.220><c> combat</c><00:12:06.559><c> the</c><00:12:07.039><c> challenges</c><00:12:07.460><c> of</c><00:12:07.759><c> the</c><00:12:07.899><c> world?</c>

00:12:08.080 --> 00:12:11.340
It's<00:12:08.299><c> a</c><00:12:08.440><c> difficult</c><00:12:09.320><c> juggling</c><00:12:10.220><c> job.</c>

00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:14.480
The<00:12:11.580><c> world</c><00:12:11.860><c> against</c><00:12:12.139><c> the</c><00:12:12.440><c> truth,</c><00:12:12.879><c> the</c><00:12:13.299><c> flesh</c><00:12:13.580><c> against</c><00:12:13.960><c> the</c><00:12:14.279><c> spirit.</c>

00:12:14.779 --> 00:12:17.899
We're<00:12:15.179><c> trying</c><00:12:15.320><c> to</c><00:12:15.980><c> handle</c><00:12:16.299><c> two</c><00:12:16.600><c> things</c><00:12:16.860><c> at</c><00:12:17.100><c> once.</c>

00:12:19.019 --> 00:12:21.519
I'm<00:12:19.379><c> reminded</c><00:12:19.639><c> actually</c><00:12:19.960><c> of</c><00:12:20.100><c> a</c><00:12:20.240><c> great</c><00:12:20.440><c> story</c><00:12:20.779><c> about</c><00:12:21.139><c> David</c>

00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.940
But<00:14:19.360><c> I</c><00:14:19.919><c> want</c><00:14:20.080><c> you</c><00:14:20.259><c> to</c><00:14:20.419><c> notice</c><00:14:20.740><c> the</c><00:14:21.080><c> order</c><00:14:21.460><c> in</c><00:14:21.679><c> which</c><00:14:22.379><c> Paul</c>

00:14:27.019 --> 00:14:32.159

00:14:36.820 --> 00:14:41.740
So<00:14:37.179><c> he</c><00:14:37.480><c> starts</c><00:14:37.940><c> not</c><00:14:38.279><c> with</c><00:14:39.139><c> husbands</c><00:14:39.779><c> submitting</c><00:14:41.120><c> to</c><00:14:41.440><c> wives</c><00:14:41.620><c> or</c>

He<00:16:08.240><c> extended</c><00:16:08.600><c> his</c><00:16:08.879><c> love</c><00:16:09.100><c> first.</c>

00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:18.639
Christ<00:16:13.720><c> came,</c><00:16:14.100><c> he</c><00:16:14.360><c> says,</c><00:16:15.200><c> I</c><00:16:15.460><c> don't</c><00:16:15.679><c> come</c><00:16:16.659><c> to</c><00:16:17.899><c> be</c><00:16:18.059><c> ministered</c><00:16:18.480><c> unto.</c>

00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:27.139
I<00:16:18.940><c> come</c><00:16:19.460><c> to</c><00:16:22.580><c> minister,</c><00:16:24.779><c> to</c><00:16:24.899><c> serve</c><00:16:25.379><c> and</c><00:16:25.659><c> to</c><00:16:25.879><c> give</c><00:16:26.100><c> my</c><00:16:26.419><c> life</c><00:16:26.759><c> as</c><00:16:26.980><c> a</c>

00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:28.399
ransom<00:16:27.519><c> for</c><00:16:27.899><c> many.</c>

00:16:28.740 --> 00:16:31.000
His<00:16:29.019><c> love</c><00:16:29.259><c> was</c><00:16:29.580><c> extended</c><00:16:30.059><c> to</c><00:16:30.419><c> the</c><00:16:30.620><c> uttermost.</c>

00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:34.279
We<00:16:31.080><c> read</c><00:16:31.360><c> in</c><00:16:31.480><c> John</c><00:16:31.740><c> 13,</c><00:16:32.460><c> verse</c><00:16:32.679><c> 1,</c><00:16:32.940><c> to</c><00:16:33.080><c> the</c><00:16:33.279><c> end.</c>

00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:40.639
So,<00:16:36.299><c> the</c><00:16:36.379><c> husband</c><00:16:36.720><c> really</c><00:16:37.440><c> is</c><00:16:37.919><c> the</c><00:16:38.179><c> head,</c><00:16:39.480><c> but</c><00:16:39.639><c> he's</c><00:16:39.820><c> also</c><00:16:40.320><c> the</c>

00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:44.659
initiator<00:16:41.299><c> of</c><00:16:42.460><c> love</c><00:16:42.860><c> as</c><00:16:43.240><c> Christ</c><00:16:43.620><c> did.</c>

00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:49.259
And<00:16:45.120><c> the</c><00:16:45.299><c> wives</c><00:16:45.539><c> then</c><00:16:45.899><c> respond</c><00:16:46.440><c> to</c><00:16:46.620><c> that</c><00:16:46.820><c> love</c><00:16:47.120><c> and</c><00:16:47.500><c> submit</c><00:16:47.779><c> very</c><00:16:48.559><c> willingly</c><00:16:48.940><c> in</c>

00:16:49.259 --> 00:16:50.740
a<00:16:49.419><c> loving</c><00:16:49.720><c> way.</c>

00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.899
You<00:16:51.879><c> see,</c><00:16:53.539><c> Christ</c><00:16:53.639><c> loved</c><00:16:53.980><c> the</c><00:16:54.240><c> Ecclesia</c><00:16:54.559><c> and</c><00:16:54.700><c> gave</c><00:16:54.899><c> himself,</c>

00:16:55.940 --> 00:16:59.080
that<00:16:56.019><c> he</c><00:16:56.139><c> might</c><00:16:56.440><c> sanctify</c><00:16:57.019><c> and</c><00:16:57.279><c> cleanse</c><00:16:57.440><c> it</c><00:16:57.559><c> with</c><00:16:57.659><c> the</c><00:16:57.860><c> washing</c><00:16:58.100><c> of</c><00:16:58.379><c> water</c><00:16:58.620><c> by</c>

00:16:59.080 --> 00:16:59.720
the<00:16:59.419><c> word.</c>

00:17:00.100 --> 00:17:03.700
So,<00:17:00.980><c> we</c><00:17:01.220><c> take</c><00:17:01.419><c> the</c><00:17:01.620><c> analogy</c><00:17:01.980><c> because</c><00:17:02.460><c> Paul</c><00:17:02.799><c> has</c><00:17:03.019><c> said,</c><00:17:03.299><c> as</c><00:17:03.440><c> we</c>

00:17:03.700 --> 00:17:05.160
quoted<00:17:03.940><c> today</c><00:17:04.400><c> in</c><00:17:04.599><c> our</c><00:17:04.859><c> study,</c>

00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:09.039
that<00:17:05.599><c> this</c><00:17:05.779><c> is</c><00:17:05.980><c> a</c><00:17:06.079><c> great</c><00:17:06.259><c> secret</c><00:17:06.599><c> about</c><00:17:06.940><c> the</c><00:17:07.220><c> Ecclesia's</c><00:17:07.779><c> relationship</c><00:17:08.259><c> with</c><00:17:08.539><c> Christ.</c>

00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:14.000
So,<00:17:09.960><c> therefore,</c><00:17:10.359><c> the</c><00:17:10.440><c> husband,</c><00:17:10.980><c> like</c><00:17:11.180><c> Christ,</c><00:17:12.359><c> is</c><00:17:12.720><c> an</c><00:17:13.059><c> educator</c><00:17:13.460><c> in</c><00:17:13.779><c> the</c>

00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.119

00:17:16.359 --> 00:17:17.799
That's<00:17:16.599><c> what</c><00:17:16.759><c> he</c><00:17:16.859><c> does.</c>

00:17:17.940 --> 00:17:19.579
He<00:17:18.380><c> leads.</c>

00:17:20.559 --> 00:17:21.440
Now,<00:17:20.740><c> there's</c><00:17:21.079><c> exceptions.</c>

00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:25.000
I<00:17:21.660><c> know</c><00:17:21.960><c> marriages</c><00:17:22.359><c> where</c><00:17:22.900><c> the</c><00:17:23.319><c> wife</c><00:17:23.579><c> is</c><00:17:23.900><c> actually</c><00:17:24.380><c> perhaps</c>

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:27.200
more<00:17:25.539><c> intellectually</c><00:17:26.099><c> equipped,</c>

00:17:27.880 --> 00:17:32.660
but<00:17:28.200><c> we</c><00:17:28.619><c> read</c><00:17:28.759><c> here</c><00:17:29.059><c> she</c><00:17:29.339><c> submits</c><00:17:30.799><c> because</c><00:17:31.559><c> her</c><00:17:31.880><c> role</c><00:17:32.160><c> is</c><00:17:32.480><c> to</c>

00:17:32.660 --> 00:17:34.839
act<00:17:32.880><c> out</c><00:17:33.279><c> the</c><00:17:33.559><c> Ecclesia</c><00:17:33.880><c> role.</c>

00:17:35.299 --> 00:17:38.460
And<00:17:35.480><c> there's</c><00:17:35.599><c> many</c><00:17:35.839><c> ways</c><00:17:36.220><c> in</c><00:17:36.440><c> which</c><00:17:36.940><c> a</c><00:17:37.220><c> wife</c><00:17:37.380><c> can</c><00:17:37.619><c> make</c><00:17:37.819><c> a</c><00:17:38.079><c> contribution.</c>

00:17:38.460 --> 00:17:41.319
I've<00:17:38.779><c> seen</c><00:17:38.980><c> this</c><00:17:39.380><c> actually</c><00:17:39.799><c> in</c><00:17:39.960><c> action</c><00:17:40.259><c> to</c><00:17:40.480><c> the</c><00:17:40.720><c> children</c><00:17:41.079><c> and</c>

00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:41.720
so<00:17:41.539><c> forth.</c>

00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:44.160
That<00:17:42.180><c> skill,</c><00:17:42.759><c> that</c><00:17:42.859><c> intellect,</c><00:17:43.240><c> and</c><00:17:43.420><c> that</c><00:17:43.599><c> ability</c><00:17:43.880><c> in</c><00:17:44.019><c> the</c>

00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:47.799
is<00:17:45.240><c> probably</c><00:17:45.599><c> best</c><00:17:45.960><c> used</c><00:17:46.180><c> not</c><00:17:46.480><c> in</c><00:17:46.779><c> correcting</c><00:17:47.000><c> a</c><00:17:47.240><c> husband</c><00:17:47.500><c> saying,</c>

well,<00:17:48.079><c> dear,</c><00:17:48.200><c> actually</c><00:17:48.440><c> that</c><00:17:48.660><c> verse</c><00:17:48.799><c> doesn't</c><00:17:49.059><c> mean</c><00:17:49.279><c> that.</c>

00:17:49.940 --> 00:17:52.140
And,<00:17:50.000><c> of</c><00:17:50.279><c> course,</c><00:17:50.460><c> you've</c><00:17:50.799><c> missed</c><00:17:50.960><c> the</c><00:17:51.140><c> point</c><00:17:51.279><c> of</c><00:17:51.400><c> that</c><00:17:51.599><c> verse,</c><00:17:52.019><c> dear,</c>

00:17:52.220 --> 00:17:54.400
because<00:17:52.579><c> what</c><00:17:53.019><c> it</c><00:17:53.200><c> means</c><00:17:53.400><c> is</c><00:17:53.599><c> this.</c>

00:17:54.980 --> 00:17:57.240
I've<00:17:55.440><c> studied</c><00:17:55.640><c> this</c><00:17:55.980><c> verse,</c><00:17:56.200><c> dear,</c><00:17:56.519><c> and</c><00:17:56.680><c> so,</c><00:17:56.880><c> therefore,</c>

00:17:57.440 --> 00:18:01.039
I'll<00:17:57.680><c> give</c><00:17:57.740><c> you</c><00:17:57.900><c> the</c><00:17:58.079><c> benefit</c><00:17:58.319><c> of</c><00:17:58.559><c> my</c><00:17:59.359><c> thoughts</c><00:18:00.059><c> on</c><00:18:00.299><c> this.</c>

00:18:01.339 --> 00:18:05.079
Her<00:18:01.799><c> ability</c><00:18:02.259><c> can</c><00:18:02.559><c> perhaps</c><00:18:02.799><c> be</c><00:18:03.119><c> best</c><00:18:03.460><c> utilized</c><00:18:03.859><c> and</c><00:18:04.180><c> transferred</c><00:18:04.579><c> to</c><00:18:04.859><c> the</c>

or<00:18:06.539><c> her</c><00:18:06.880><c> fellow</c><00:18:07.359><c> sisters.</c>

00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:12.079
Because,<00:18:10.119><c> as</c><00:18:10.339><c> Brother</c><00:18:10.559><c> Peter</c><00:18:10.779><c> pointed</c><00:18:11.079><c> out</c><00:18:11.319><c> last</c><00:18:11.779><c> night,</c>

00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:14.880
the<00:18:12.299><c> role</c><00:18:12.559><c> of</c><00:18:12.759><c> the</c><00:18:12.900><c> older</c><00:18:13.180><c> sisters</c><00:18:13.480><c> in</c><00:18:13.779><c> Titus</c><00:18:14.099><c> 2</c><00:18:14.380><c> verse</c><00:18:14.599><c> 4,</c>

00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:18.819
and<00:18:14.980><c> I</c><00:18:15.160><c> won't</c><00:18:15.359><c> return</c><00:18:15.799><c> to</c><00:18:15.980><c> it,</c><00:18:16.539><c> is</c><00:18:17.279><c> to</c><00:18:18.000><c> teach</c><00:18:18.259><c> the</c><00:18:18.420><c> younger</c><00:18:18.599><c> women.</c>

00:18:18.839 --> 00:18:20.779
They<00:18:19.019><c> have</c><00:18:19.180><c> a</c><00:18:19.359><c> major</c><00:18:19.640><c> role.</c>

00:18:21.660 --> 00:18:24.019
So<00:18:21.859><c> there's</c><00:18:22.119><c> plenty</c><00:18:22.400><c> of</c><00:18:22.640><c> scope</c><00:18:22.839><c> for</c><00:18:23.160><c> sisters.</c>

00:18:24.539 --> 00:18:27.579
And<00:18:24.740><c> speaking</c><00:18:24.980><c> upon</c><00:18:25.319><c> that,</c><00:18:25.819><c> of</c><00:18:26.119><c> course,</c><00:18:26.759><c> they</c><00:18:27.079><c> are</c><00:18:27.299><c> under</c>

00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:40.440
Now,<00:18:37.079><c> I'm</c><00:18:37.259><c> afraid</c><00:18:37.559><c> to</c><00:18:37.819><c> say</c><00:18:38.119><c> that</c><00:18:39.440><c> in</c><00:18:39.819><c> the</c><00:18:39.819><c> 1960s,</c>

So<00:21:12.680><c> we</c><00:21:12.980><c> find</c><00:21:13.460><c> that</c><00:21:14.019><c> we've</c><00:21:14.259><c> got</c><00:21:14.339><c> to</c><00:21:14.420><c> have</c><00:21:14.579><c> a</c><00:21:14.819><c> balance</c><00:21:15.000><c> in</c><00:21:15.180><c> all</c>

00:21:15.380 --> 00:21:16.500
these<00:21:15.619><c> things.</c>

00:21:17.220 --> 00:21:20.339
But<00:21:17.400><c> what</c><00:21:17.599><c> I'm</c><00:21:17.740><c> saying</c><00:21:18.019><c> tonight,</c><00:21:18.640><c> unequivocally,</c><00:21:19.519><c> is</c><00:21:19.660><c> beware</c>

00:21:20.339 --> 00:21:21.119
of<00:21:20.599><c> the</c><00:21:20.779><c> dangers.</c>

00:21:21.299 --> 00:21:22.440
Guard<00:21:21.720><c> against</c><00:21:22.079><c> the</c><00:21:22.339><c> evil.</c>

00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:27.000
They're<00:21:22.859><c> pumping</c><00:21:23.240><c> ideas</c><00:21:23.799><c> into</c><00:21:24.079><c> your</c><00:21:24.440><c> minds</c><00:21:24.839><c> which</c><00:21:25.200><c> are</c><00:21:25.779><c> in</c><00:21:26.059><c> opposition</c><00:21:26.559><c> to</c><00:21:26.880><c> God.</c>

00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:28.059
He<00:21:27.180><c> says,</c><00:21:27.519><c> I</c><00:21:27.559><c> change</c><00:21:27.880><c> not.</c>

00:21:28.059 --> 00:21:28.819
I'm<00:21:28.319><c> no</c><00:21:28.579><c> different.</c>

00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:31.000
Jesus<00:21:29.279><c> Christ,</c><00:21:29.759><c> the</c><00:21:29.819><c> same</c><00:21:29.980><c> yesterday,</c><00:21:30.359><c> today</c><00:21:30.640><c> and</c><00:21:30.720><c> forever.</c>

00:21:31.259 --> 00:21:33.440
And<00:21:31.420><c> if</c><00:21:31.500><c> you're</c><00:21:31.740><c> going</c><00:21:31.839><c> to</c><00:21:32.039><c> serve</c><00:21:32.200><c> Jesus</c><00:21:32.619><c> Christ,</c><00:21:33.000><c> the</c><00:21:33.099><c> rules</c>

00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:35.000
don't<00:21:33.920><c> change.</c>

00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:41.539
Now,<00:21:38.019><c> Brother</c><00:21:38.119><c> Peter</c><00:21:38.420><c> has</c><00:21:39.039><c> mentioned</c><00:21:39.339><c> last</c><00:21:39.660><c> night</c><00:21:39.940><c> about</c><00:21:40.500><c> relationship</c><00:21:41.059><c> to</c><00:21:41.319><c> children.</c>

00:21:41.619 --> 00:21:44.740
I<00:21:41.740><c> won't</c><00:21:42.039><c> cover</c><00:21:42.460><c> that</c><00:21:42.980><c> again</c><00:21:43.339><c> except</c><00:21:43.799><c> perhaps</c><00:21:44.099><c> to</c><00:21:44.359><c> turn</c><00:21:44.440><c> up</c><00:21:44.619><c> a</c>

00:21:44.740 --> 00:21:45.839
couple<00:21:44.920><c> of</c><00:21:45.119><c> quotes</c><00:21:45.259><c> from</c><00:21:45.500><c> Timothy.</c>

00:21:46.079 --> 00:21:49.660
It's<00:21:46.160><c> never</c><00:21:46.440><c> too</c><00:21:46.900><c> early</c><00:21:47.200><c> to</c><00:21:47.559><c> start,</c><00:21:47.819><c> sisters,</c><00:21:48.420><c> in</c><00:21:48.660><c> the</c><00:21:48.880><c> home.</c>

00:21:49.779 --> 00:21:52.200
It's<00:21:50.019><c> never</c><00:21:50.380><c> too</c><00:21:50.839><c> early</c><00:21:51.119><c> to</c><00:21:51.539><c> start.</c>

00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:54.960
It's<00:21:52.740><c> quite</c><00:21:53.000><c> incredible,</c><00:21:53.640><c> this</c><00:21:53.859><c> quotation,</c>

00:21:55.099 --> 00:21:57.759
that<00:21:55.420><c> the</c><00:21:55.559><c> Apostle</c><00:21:55.960><c> Paul,</c><00:21:56.299><c> through</c><00:21:56.519><c> the</c><00:21:56.759><c> Spirit</c><00:21:56.940><c> of</c><00:21:57.079><c> God,</c><00:21:57.420><c> was</c>

00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:01.279

00:22:02.880 --> 00:22:05.339
See,<00:22:03.059><c> actually,</c><00:22:03.539><c> the</c><00:22:03.599><c> Bible</c><00:22:03.920><c> loves</c><00:22:04.279><c> sisters.</c>

00:22:06.140 --> 00:22:07.259
Paul<00:22:06.400><c> loved</c><00:22:06.740><c> sisters.</c>

00:22:07.680 --> 00:22:10.900
We<00:22:07.799><c> were</c><00:22:07.880><c> talking</c><00:22:08.200><c> in</c><00:22:08.440><c> our</c><00:22:08.660><c> readings</c><00:22:08.880><c> about</c><00:22:09.299><c> the</c><00:22:10.380><c> gesture</c><00:22:10.660><c> of</c>

00:22:10.900 --> 00:22:13.220
Mary<00:22:11.160><c> anointing</c><00:22:11.759><c> Jesus'</c><00:22:12.440><c> feet.</c>

00:22:13.819 --> 00:22:16.640
When<00:22:14.140><c> Christ</c><00:22:14.599><c> came</c><00:22:14.859><c> into</c><00:22:15.000><c> the</c><00:22:15.220><c> world,</c><00:22:15.859><c> Joseph</c><00:22:16.220><c> didn't</c><00:22:16.480><c> know</c>

00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:17.460
what<00:22:16.799><c> was</c><00:22:17.039><c> going</c><00:22:17.279><c> on.</c>

00:22:17.500 --> 00:22:19.700
Mary<00:22:17.740><c> had</c><00:22:17.900><c> gone</c><00:22:18.099><c> down</c><00:22:18.299><c> to</c><00:22:18.460><c> visit</c><00:22:18.640><c> a</c><00:22:18.900><c> cousin.</c>

00:22:19.740 --> 00:22:22.140
Zacharias<00:22:20.200><c> was</c><00:22:20.519><c> dumb,</c><00:22:20.980><c> but</c><00:22:21.119><c> two</c><00:22:21.319><c> wonderful</c><00:22:21.779><c> sisters,</c>

00:22:22.140 --> 00:22:26.640
under<00:22:22.420><c> the</c><00:22:22.539><c> influence</c><00:22:22.779><c> of</c><00:22:23.039><c> the</c><00:22:23.140><c> Spirit</c><00:22:23.319><c> of</c><00:22:23.539><c> God,</c><00:22:23.980><c> were</c><00:22:23.980><c> fulfilling</c><00:22:24.559><c> the</c><00:22:24.920><c> prophecy</c><00:22:25.180><c> of</c><00:22:25.480><c> Isaiah.</c>

00:22:29.019 --> 00:22:32.059
Zacharias<00:22:29.420><c> couldn't</c><00:22:29.660><c> even</c><00:22:30.000><c> speak,</c><00:22:30.380><c> but</c><00:22:30.460><c> the</c><00:22:30.720><c> prophecy</c><00:22:31.000><c> said,</c>

00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:34.140
Say<00:22:32.140><c> unto</c><00:22:32.440><c> the</c><00:22:32.700><c> cities</c><00:22:33.059><c> of</c><00:22:33.339><c> Judah,</c>

00:22:35.359 --> 00:22:38.119
Lift<00:22:35.460><c> up</c><00:22:35.680><c> thy</c><00:22:35.920><c> voice</c><00:22:36.200><c> with</c><00:22:36.500><c> strength</c><00:22:36.940><c> lifted</c><00:22:37.319><c> up,</c>

00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:43.640
And<00:22:40.279><c> cry</c><00:22:40.660><c> out</c><00:22:41.000><c> aloud</c><00:22:41.460><c> that,</c><00:22:42.700><c> Behold</c><00:22:43.019><c> your</c><00:22:43.259><c> God.</c>

00:22:43.960 --> 00:22:45.059
And<00:22:44.140><c> that's</c><00:22:44.359><c> exactly</c><00:22:44.640><c> what</c><00:22:44.900><c> happened.</c>

00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.279
Elizabeth<00:22:45.779><c> cried</c><00:22:47.119><c> with</c><00:22:47.400><c> a</c><00:22:47.519><c> loud</c><00:22:47.819><c> voice,</c>

00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:52.799
They<00:22:48.680><c> said,</c><00:22:49.200><c> It</c><00:22:49.200><c> is</c><00:22:49.400><c> the</c><00:22:49.579><c> mother</c><00:22:50.200><c> of</c><00:22:50.920><c> my</c><00:22:51.099><c> Lord</c><00:22:51.319><c> who</c><00:22:51.559><c> cometh</c><00:22:51.759><c> under</c><00:22:52.039><c> me.</c>

Sisters<00:22:54.299><c> play</c><00:22:54.819><c> a</c><00:22:55.119><c> tremendous</c><00:22:55.519><c> role</c><00:22:55.920><c> there</c><00:22:56.400><c> in</c><00:22:56.980><c> the</c><00:22:57.279><c> advent</c><00:22:57.420><c> of</c>

00:22:57.599 --> 00:22:57.839
the<00:22:57.680><c> Lord,</c>

00:22:58.019 --> 00:23:00.200
and<00:22:58.059><c> incidentally</c><00:22:58.779><c> at</c><00:22:58.940><c> his</c><00:22:59.140><c> death</c><00:22:59.339><c> and</c><00:22:59.579><c> resurrection,</c><00:23:00.079><c> but</c>

00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:01.660
we<00:23:00.359><c> won't</c><00:23:00.519><c> go</c><00:23:00.759><c> into</c><00:23:00.900><c> this.</c>

00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:06.619
In<00:23:02.880><c> 2</c><00:23:03.319><c> Timothy</c><00:23:04.339><c> 1,</c><00:23:05.180><c> here</c><00:23:05.400><c> is</c><00:23:05.599><c> the</c><00:23:05.740><c> influence</c><00:23:06.039><c> of</c><00:23:06.359><c> sisters.</c>

00:23:06.619 --> 00:23:10.700
Very<00:23:07.099><c> early,</c><00:23:07.700><c> it</c><00:23:07.700><c> seems</c><00:23:07.960><c> as</c><00:23:08.140><c> though</c><00:23:08.279><c> Timothy</c><00:23:08.640><c> was</c><00:23:09.000><c> the</c><00:23:10.119><c> child</c>

00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:16.079
Therefore,<00:23:14.359><c> he</c><00:23:14.500><c> was</c><00:23:14.680><c> brought</c><00:23:14.920><c> up</c><00:23:15.180><c> by</c><00:23:15.460><c> his</c><00:23:15.700><c> grandmother,</c>

00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:18.619
who<00:23:16.279><c> seems</c><00:23:16.579><c> to</c><00:23:16.740><c> have</c><00:23:16.900><c> come</c><00:23:17.059><c> into</c><00:23:17.319><c> the</c><00:23:18.059><c> truth</c><00:23:18.259><c> first.</c>

00:23:18.839 --> 00:23:21.019
You<00:23:18.839><c> see,</c><00:23:19.119><c> I</c><00:23:19.279><c> called</c><00:23:19.500><c> to</c><00:23:19.680><c> remembrance</c><00:23:19.940><c> the</c><00:23:20.200><c> unfeigned</c><00:23:20.720><c> faith,</c>

00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:23.640
the<00:23:21.319><c> faith</c><00:23:21.519><c> without</c><00:23:21.839><c> hypocrisy</c><00:23:22.640><c> that</c><00:23:22.940><c> is</c><00:23:23.119><c> in</c><00:23:23.359><c> thee,</c>

00:23:23.900 --> 00:23:26.740
which<00:23:24.119><c> dwelt</c><00:23:24.380><c> first</c><00:23:24.819><c> in</c><00:23:25.019><c> your</c><00:23:25.180><c> mother,</c><00:23:25.740><c> Lois,</c><00:23:26.279><c> and</c><00:23:26.579><c> thy</c>

00:23:27.900 --> 00:23:30.099
And<00:23:28.119><c> I</c><00:23:28.339><c> persuaded</c><00:23:28.740><c> that</c><00:23:29.019><c> in</c><00:23:29.220><c> thee</c><00:23:29.599><c> also.</c>

00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:35.940
Wonderful<00:23:31.000><c> thing,</c><00:23:31.400><c> that</c><00:23:31.539><c> is,</c><00:23:31.900><c> that</c><00:23:32.259><c> Timothy</c><00:23:32.799><c> is</c><00:23:33.500><c> the</c><00:23:35.319><c> child,</c>

00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:38.660
probably,<00:23:36.859><c> of</c><00:23:37.019><c> a</c><00:23:37.200><c> marriage</c><00:23:37.500><c> outside</c><00:23:38.019><c> the</c><00:23:38.319><c> truth,</c><00:23:38.480><c> or</c>

something<00:23:39.000><c> similar.</c>

00:23:39.519 --> 00:23:42.519

Just<00:28:28.240><c> continue</c><00:28:28.980><c> in</c><00:28:29.160><c> the</c><00:28:29.440><c> same</c><00:28:29.740><c> way</c><00:28:29.920><c> as</c><00:28:30.079><c> you've</c><00:28:30.319><c> always</c><00:28:30.779><c> known</c>

00:28:31.200 --> 00:28:33.740

00:28:33.940 --> 00:28:36.079
I<00:28:34.000><c> mean,</c><00:28:34.140><c> he</c><00:28:34.259><c> didn't</c><00:28:34.460><c> understand</c><00:28:34.900><c> the</c><00:28:35.079><c> Holy</c><00:28:35.259><c> Scriptures</c><00:28:35.539><c> as</c><00:28:35.779><c> a</c><00:28:35.880><c> baby.</c>

00:28:36.180 --> 00:28:38.200
Of<00:28:36.299><c> course,</c><00:28:36.539><c> you</c><00:28:37.000><c> understand</c><00:28:37.619><c> what</c><00:28:37.759><c> I'm</c><00:28:37.960><c> saying.</c>

00:28:38.480 --> 00:28:41.819
But<00:28:38.579><c> he</c><00:28:38.640><c> was</c><00:28:38.859><c> under</c><00:28:40.000><c> the</c><00:28:40.240><c> influence</c><00:28:40.599><c> of</c><00:28:40.819><c> Holy</c><00:28:41.019><c> Scriptures.</c>

00:28:41.859 --> 00:28:45.160
He<00:28:42.339><c> was</c><00:28:42.640><c> there</c><00:28:43.079><c> as</c><00:28:43.279><c> his</c><00:28:43.519><c> mother</c><00:28:43.700><c> and</c><00:28:43.940><c> grandmother</c><00:28:44.259><c> read</c><00:28:44.619><c> the</c><00:28:44.819><c> Bible,</c>

which<00:28:49.319><c> is</c><00:28:49.500><c> in</c><00:28:49.680><c> Christ</c><00:28:49.980><c> Jesus.</c>

00:28:51.339 --> 00:28:53.180
And<00:28:51.519><c> you</c><00:28:51.579><c> know,</c><00:28:52.019><c> as</c><00:28:52.259><c> we</c><00:28:52.420><c> read</c><00:28:52.660><c> to</c><00:28:52.819><c> our</c><00:28:53.019><c> children,</c>

00:28:53.400 --> 00:28:57.779
there's<00:28:53.460><c> tremendous</c><00:28:55.079><c> lessons</c><00:28:55.819><c> we</c><00:28:56.240><c> learn</c><00:28:56.460><c> as</c><00:28:57.160><c> we</c><00:28:57.480><c> read.</c>

00:28:58.059 --> 00:28:59.859
I've<00:28:58.279><c> got</c><00:28:58.380><c> some</c><00:28:58.839><c> funny</c><00:28:59.160><c> cartoons</c><00:28:59.619><c> here,</c>

00:28:59.859 --> 00:29:01.759
which<00:29:00.019><c> I've</c><00:29:00.339><c> copied</c><00:29:00.460><c> out</c><00:29:00.779><c> and</c><00:29:01.079><c> I</c><00:29:01.619><c> thought,</c>

00:29:02.019 --> 00:29:06.140
well,<00:29:03.140><c> I'll</c><00:29:03.480><c> show</c><00:29:03.720><c> them</c><00:29:03.940><c> to</c><00:29:04.140><c> you</c><00:29:04.519><c> just</c><00:29:04.759><c> to</c><00:29:04.920><c> keep</c><00:29:05.019><c> you</c><00:29:05.259><c> awake.</c>

00:29:06.299 --> 00:29:09.000
Because<00:29:06.519><c> really,</c><00:29:07.119><c> that</c><00:29:07.319><c> one</c><00:29:07.519><c> sums</c><00:29:07.759><c> up</c><00:29:08.259><c> change,</c><00:29:08.740><c> doesn't</c><00:29:08.839><c> it?</c>

00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:12.440
There's<00:29:09.319><c> a</c><00:29:09.500><c> poor</c><00:29:09.559><c> old</c><00:29:10.319><c> father</c><00:29:10.640><c> trying</c><00:29:10.880><c> to</c><00:29:11.200><c> master</c><00:29:11.559><c> the</c><00:29:11.740><c> new</c><00:29:11.940><c> technology</c>

00:29:12.440 --> 00:29:13.500
and<00:29:12.700><c> change</c><00:29:12.960><c> of</c><00:29:13.259><c> computers.</c>

00:29:13.859 --> 00:29:15.920
Every<00:29:14.180><c> adult</c><00:29:14.440><c> needs</c><00:29:14.680><c> a</c><00:29:14.960><c> child</c><00:29:15.299><c> to</c><00:29:15.740><c> teach.</c>

00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:18.000
That's<00:29:16.259><c> the</c><00:29:16.400><c> way</c><00:29:16.599><c> adults</c><00:29:16.960><c> learn.</c>

00:29:19.359 --> 00:29:21.819
And<00:29:19.880><c> you</c><00:29:20.400><c> read</c><00:29:20.619><c> the</c><00:29:20.779><c> Bible</c><00:29:21.059><c> with</c><00:29:21.319><c> your</c><00:29:21.539><c> children</c>

00:29:21.819 --> 00:29:24.220
and<00:29:22.019><c> they</c><00:29:22.259><c> start</c><00:29:22.440><c> asking</c><00:29:22.779><c> you</c><00:29:23.039><c> questions.</c>

00:29:25.500 --> 00:29:30.539
You<00:29:26.059><c> know,</c><00:29:28.460><c> why</c><00:29:28.700><c> did</c><00:29:29.160><c> God</c><00:29:29.660><c> allow</c><00:29:30.140><c> people</c>

00:29:30.539 --> 00:29:32.579
to<00:29:30.779><c> chop</c><00:29:30.900><c> people's</c><00:29:31.400><c> heads</c><00:29:31.519><c> off,</c><00:29:31.819><c> mummy,</c>

00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:35.000
when,<00:29:33.200><c> you</c><00:29:33.500><c> know,</c><00:29:33.640><c> and</c><00:29:33.839><c> all</c><00:29:34.000><c> this</c><00:29:34.140><c> sort</c><00:29:34.279><c> of</c><00:29:34.400><c> thing,</c><00:29:34.519><c> you</c><00:29:34.660><c> know?</c>

00:29:35.339 --> 00:29:38.640
Oh,<00:29:37.039><c> I</c><00:29:37.259><c> have</c><00:29:37.440><c> to</c><00:29:37.559><c> think</c><00:29:37.680><c> about</c><00:29:37.920><c> that</c><00:29:38.099><c> one,</c><00:29:38.220><c> you</c><00:29:38.380><c> know?</c>

00:29:39.099 --> 00:29:42.980
So<00:29:39.500><c> it</c><00:29:40.059><c> teaches</c><00:29:40.359><c> us</c><00:29:40.680><c> as</c><00:29:40.859><c> we</c><00:29:41.420><c> teach</c><00:29:41.779><c> them.</c>

00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:50.519
Leadership<00:29:45.400><c> in</c><00:29:45.680><c> the</c><00:29:45.880><c> home</c><00:29:46.460><c> is</c><00:29:48.319><c> to</c><00:29:49.779><c> support</c><00:29:50.180><c> people,</c>

00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:51.519
to<00:29:50.720><c> walk</c><00:29:51.000><c> behind</c><00:29:51.359><c> them.</c>

00:29:51.539 --> 00:29:53.480
There's<00:29:51.980><c> a</c><00:29:52.259><c> gorgeous</c><00:29:52.640><c> passage</c><00:29:53.019><c> of</c><00:29:53.220><c> Scripture</c>

00:29:53.480 --> 00:29:56.559
about<00:29:53.799><c> David</c><00:29:54.220><c> here</c><00:29:54.440><c> in</c><00:29:54.720><c> Psalm</c><00:29:55.319><c> 78.</c>

00:29:58.779 --> 00:30:00.619
Sometimes<00:29:59.039><c> you</c><00:29:59.240><c> stumble</c><00:29:59.559><c> across</c><00:29:59.839><c> things</c><00:30:00.119><c> in</c><00:30:00.279><c> the</c><00:30:00.440><c> Bible</c>

00:30:00.619 --> 00:30:02.299
when<00:30:00.779><c> you</c><00:30:00.880><c> look</c><00:30:01.019><c> up</c><00:30:01.240><c> words.</c>

00:30:03.779 --> 00:30:06.180
And<00:30:03.960><c> remember</c><00:30:04.079><c> one</c><00:30:04.279><c> night</c><00:30:04.460><c> when</c><00:30:04.599><c> I</c><00:30:04.720><c> was</c><00:30:04.819><c> doing</c><00:30:04.980><c> the</c><00:30:05.519><c> life</c><00:30:05.720><c> of</c><00:30:05.880><c> David,</c>

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:07.460
this<00:30:06.460><c> one</c><00:30:06.619><c> struck</c><00:30:06.920><c> me.</c>

00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:11.140
He<00:30:08.079><c> chose</c><00:30:08.519><c> David,</c><00:30:09.059><c> Psalm</c><00:30:09.319><c> 78</c><00:30:09.819><c> verse</c><00:30:10.099><c> 70,</c>

00:30:11.259 --> 00:30:13.880
also<00:30:11.680><c> his</c><00:30:12.000><c> servant</c><00:30:12.259><c> and</c><00:30:12.460><c> took</c><00:30:12.640><c> him</c><00:30:12.839><c> from</c><00:30:13.039><c> the</c><00:30:13.240><c> sheepfolds,</c>

00:30:13.880 --> 00:30:16.519
from<00:30:14.140><c> following</c><00:30:14.400><c> the</c><00:30:14.740><c> ewes</c><00:30:15.160><c> great</c><00:30:15.460><c> with</c><00:30:15.700><c> young.</c>

00:30:16.920 --> 00:30:19.460
He<00:30:17.240><c> brought</c><00:30:17.500><c> him</c><00:30:17.720><c> to</c><00:30:18.000><c> feed</c><00:30:18.380><c> Jacob</c><00:30:18.779><c> his</c><00:30:19.019><c> people</c>

00:30:19.460 --> 00:30:21.480
and<00:30:19.779><c> Israel</c><00:30:20.180><c> his</c><00:30:20.460><c> inheritance.</c>

00:30:21.700 --> 00:30:27.619
So<00:30:22.119><c> he</c><00:30:22.519><c> fed</c><00:30:22.799><c> them</c><00:30:24.059><c> according</c><00:30:24.880><c> to</c><00:30:26.140><c> the</c><00:30:26.640><c> integrity,</c>

00:30:29.420 --> 00:30:32.539
the<00:30:29.559><c> integrity,</c><00:30:31.279><c> the</c><00:30:31.500><c> singleness</c><00:30:31.799><c> of</c><00:30:31.980><c> his</c><00:30:32.220><c> heart</c>

00:30:32.539 --> 00:30:37.359
and<00:30:32.799><c> guided</c><00:30:33.160><c> them</c><00:30:33.559><c> by</c><00:30:33.880><c> the</c><00:30:34.200><c> skillfulness</c><00:30:34.859><c> of</c><00:30:35.819><c> his</c><00:30:36.220><c> hands.</c>

00:30:41.900 --> 00:30:44.960
Is<00:30:41.900><c> only</c><00:30:42.420><c> ever</c><00:30:42.880><c> used</c><00:30:43.220><c> in</c><00:30:43.400><c> the</c><00:30:43.579><c> Hebrew</c><00:30:44.099><c> Old</c><00:30:44.660><c> Testament</c>

00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:47.960
in<00:30:45.279><c> regarding</c><00:30:45.579><c> to</c><00:30:45.799><c> the</c><00:30:46.019><c> understanding</c><00:30:46.480><c> and</c><00:30:46.880><c> intelligence.</c>

00:30:48.099 --> 00:30:49.960
Now<00:30:48.279><c> the</c><00:30:48.559><c> intelligence</c><00:30:49.000><c> is</c><00:30:49.220><c> not</c><00:30:49.339><c> in</c><00:30:49.539><c> your</c><00:30:49.720><c> hands,</c>

00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:51.539
the<00:30:50.299><c> intelligence</c><00:30:50.759><c> of</c><00:30:50.960><c> his</c><00:30:51.180><c> hands.</c>

00:30:51.819 --> 00:30:54.160
But<00:30:51.859><c> see</c><00:30:52.079><c> what</c><00:30:52.200><c> it's</c><00:30:52.380><c> saying</c><00:30:52.720><c> is</c><00:30:53.019><c> David</c><00:30:53.359><c> was</c><00:30:53.559><c> a</c><00:30:53.640><c> real</c><00:30:53.859><c> leader.</c>

00:30:54.579 --> 00:30:59.539
He<00:30:54.900><c> got</c><00:30:55.220><c> behind,</c><00:30:56.759><c> he</c><00:30:57.079><c> followed</c><00:30:58.339><c> the</c><00:30:58.759><c> ewes.</c>

00:31:00.440 --> 00:31:06.059
And<00:31:00.519><c> of</c><00:31:00.640><c> course</c><00:31:00.819><c> Messiah</c><00:31:01.599><c> shall</c><00:31:02.819><c> gently</c><00:31:04.539><c> lead</c><00:31:04.799><c> his</c><00:31:05.220><c> flock.</c>

He<00:31:06.559><c> shall</c><00:31:06.759><c> lead</c><00:31:06.960><c> his</c><00:31:07.259><c> flock</c><00:31:07.539><c> like</c><00:31:07.960><c> a</c><00:31:08.180><c> shepherd</c>

00:31:09.160 --> 00:31:11.220
and<00:31:09.480><c> hold</c><00:31:09.740><c> the</c><00:31:09.960><c> lambs</c><00:31:10.240><c> in</c><00:31:10.359><c> his</c><00:31:10.599><c> bosom</c>

00:31:11.220 --> 00:31:14.160
and<00:31:11.640><c> gently</c><00:31:12.059><c> lead</c><00:31:12.400><c> those</c><00:31:12.779><c> that</c><00:31:12.980><c> are</c><00:31:13.140><c> with</c><00:31:13.359><c> young.</c>

00:31:14.240 --> 00:31:16.039
Now<00:31:14.519><c> if</c><00:31:14.599><c> you're</c><00:31:14.819><c> going</c><00:31:14.960><c> to</c><00:31:15.440><c> be</c><00:31:15.640><c> a</c><00:31:15.819><c> shepherd</c>

00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:19.299
and<00:31:16.880><c> deal</c><00:31:17.140><c> with</c><00:31:17.339><c> the</c><00:31:17.539><c> young</c><00:31:17.940><c> and</c><00:31:18.779><c> the</c><00:31:18.960><c> feeble,</c>

00:31:19.299 --> 00:31:22.299
you've<00:31:19.720><c> got</c><00:31:19.859><c> to</c><00:31:19.980><c> know</c><00:31:20.079><c> what's</c><00:31:20.420><c> going</c><00:31:20.640><c> on</c><00:31:21.380><c> down</c><00:31:21.839><c> the</c><00:31:22.099><c> back.</c>

00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:25.880
You<00:31:22.440><c> can't</c><00:31:22.799><c> be</c><00:31:23.740><c> 50</c><00:31:24.099><c> metres</c><00:31:24.400><c> out</c><00:31:24.660><c> in</c><00:31:24.920><c> front,</c>

00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:28.059
not<00:31:26.519><c> worrying</c><00:31:26.779><c> about</c><00:31:27.039><c> the</c><00:31:27.259><c> back.</c>

00:31:28.720 --> 00:31:30.579
So<00:31:28.960><c> to</c><00:31:29.140><c> lead</c><00:31:29.279><c> people</c><00:31:29.640><c> you</c><00:31:29.859><c> walk</c><00:31:30.099><c> behind</c><00:31:30.440><c> them.</c>

00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.019
That's<00:31:30.859><c> exactly</c><00:31:31.240><c> what</c><00:31:31.480><c> God</c><00:31:31.799><c> says</c><00:31:32.200><c> that</c><00:31:32.420><c> David</c><00:31:32.779><c> did.</c>

00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:36.700
He<00:31:33.680><c> walked</c><00:31:33.940><c> behind</c><00:31:34.440><c> the</c><00:31:34.720><c> ewes</c><00:31:35.819><c> guiding</c><00:31:36.259><c> them</c>

00:31:36.700 --> 00:31:38.759
with<00:31:37.079><c> the</c><00:31:37.400><c> intelligence</c><00:31:37.900><c> of</c><00:31:38.140><c> his</c><00:31:38.400><c> hands.</c>

00:31:38.980 --> 00:31:43.119
His<00:31:39.299><c> brain</c><00:31:40.140><c> operated</c><00:31:41.160><c> in</c><00:31:41.819><c> concert</c><00:31:42.240><c> with</c><00:31:42.440><c> his</c><00:31:42.720><c> hands</c>

00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:46.319
as<00:31:43.579><c> he</c><00:31:43.819><c> guided</c><00:31:44.240><c> and</c><00:31:45.500><c> trained</c><00:31:45.720><c> his</c><00:31:46.019><c> sheep.</c>

00:31:46.779 --> 00:31:49.059
So<00:31:46.980><c> God</c><00:31:47.180><c> said,</c><00:31:47.579><c> I've</c><00:31:47.799><c> got</c><00:31:47.920><c> a</c><00:31:48.059><c> bigger</c><00:31:48.180><c> job</c><00:31:48.440><c> for</c><00:31:48.660><c> you</c><00:31:48.799><c> David,</c>

00:31:49.059 --> 00:31:51.640
you<00:31:49.220><c> can</c><00:31:49.460><c> guide</c><00:31:49.759><c> and</c><00:31:49.960><c> lead</c><00:31:50.099><c> my</c><00:31:50.380><c> people</c><00:31:50.640><c> just</c><00:31:50.960><c> like</c><00:31:51.279><c> that.</c>

00:31:51.700 --> 00:31:55.380
What<00:31:51.960><c> a</c><00:31:52.640><c> tremendous</c><00:31:53.440><c> leader</c><00:31:54.039><c> he</c><00:31:54.619><c> was.</c>

00:31:58.099 --> 00:32:01.019
Now<00:31:58.359><c> this</c><00:31:58.579><c> relates</c><00:31:59.019><c> to</c><00:31:59.539><c> normal</c><00:31:59.839><c> education</c>

00:32:01.700 --> 00:32:04.059
but<00:32:02.220><c> it</c><00:32:02.740><c> applies</c><00:32:03.059><c> to</c><00:32:03.339><c> scriptural</c><00:32:03.660><c> education.</c>

00:32:04.099 --> 00:32:07.079
If<00:32:04.220><c> you</c><00:32:04.380><c> think</c><00:32:04.539><c> education</c><00:32:05.099><c> is</c><00:32:05.339><c> expensive,</c><00:32:06.079><c> try</c><00:32:06.200><c> ignorance.</c>

00:32:07.160 --> 00:32:09.799
If<00:32:07.319><c> you</c><00:32:08.420><c> don't</c><00:32:08.599><c> want</c><00:32:08.799><c> to</c><00:32:08.920><c> put</c><00:32:09.019><c> the</c><00:32:09.279><c> time</c><00:32:09.500><c> in,</c>

00:32:10.019 --> 00:32:10.319
brothers<00:32:10.019><c> and</c><00:32:10.119><c> sisters,</c>

00:32:10.359 --> 00:32:12.319
you<00:32:10.519><c> don't</c><00:32:10.680><c> want</c><00:32:10.819><c> to</c><00:32:10.940><c> put</c><00:32:11.039><c> the</c><00:32:11.240><c> effort</c><00:32:11.420><c> in</c><00:32:11.579><c> on</c><00:32:11.759><c> your</c><00:32:12.000><c> children,</c>

00:32:12.779 --> 00:32:15.799
then<00:32:13.319><c> you</c><00:32:14.299><c> watch</c><00:32:14.640><c> the</c><00:32:14.940><c> result.</c>

00:32:16.220 --> 00:32:19.819
The<00:32:16.759><c> ignorance</c><00:32:17.019><c> of</c><00:32:17.259><c> the</c><00:32:17.420><c> scripture</c><00:32:17.680><c> will</c><00:32:18.079><c> be</c><00:32:19.059><c> a</c><00:32:19.180><c> big</c><00:32:19.440><c> penalty</c>

00:32:19.819 --> 00:32:22.079
to<00:32:20.200><c> pay</c><00:32:20.519><c> as</c><00:32:20.960><c> the</c><00:32:21.160><c> children</c><00:32:21.420><c> grow</c><00:32:21.720><c> older</c>

00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.279
because<00:32:22.720><c> you</c><00:32:23.119><c> know</c><00:32:23.119><c> you</c><00:32:23.200><c> can't</c><00:32:23.759><c> cram</c><00:32:24.140><c> the</c><00:32:24.380><c> scriptures.</c>

00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:31.269
Israel<00:32:26.099><c> picked</c><00:32:26.359><c> up</c><00:32:26.579><c> the</c><00:32:26.779><c> manna</c><00:32:28.160><c> an</c><00:32:28.319><c> ephah</c><00:32:28.680><c> at</c><00:32:28.819><c> a</c><00:32:29.019><c> time</c><00:32:29.960><c> every</c><00:32:30.500><c> day,</c>

00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:35.180
just<00:32:32.000><c> a</c><00:32:32.180><c> measure,</c><00:32:33.200><c> sufficient</c><00:32:33.579><c> for</c><00:32:34.099><c> the</c><00:32:34.240><c> need</c><00:32:34.579><c> of</c><00:32:34.880><c> the</c><00:32:35.019><c> day.</c>

00:32:35.259 --> 00:32:36.539
That's<00:32:35.500><c> exactly</c><00:32:35.779><c> what</c><00:32:35.980><c> Jesus</c><00:32:36.299><c> said.</c>

00:32:36.640 --> 00:32:39.670
Give<00:32:36.759><c> us</c><00:32:37.000><c> this</c><00:32:37.240><c> day,</c><00:32:38.720><c> the</c><00:32:38.900><c> bread,</c>

00:32:41.259 --> 00:32:43.019
which<00:32:41.420><c> we</c><00:32:41.660><c> need</c><00:32:41.900><c> to</c><00:32:42.140><c> sustain</c><00:32:42.460><c> us</c>

00:32:43.019 --> 00:32:45.779
and<00:32:43.339><c> don't</c><00:32:43.519><c> let</c><00:32:43.640><c> us</c><00:32:43.819><c> worry</c><00:32:44.099><c> about</c><00:32:44.480><c> the</c><00:32:44.680><c> morrow.</c>

00:32:46.339 --> 00:32:48.819
So<00:32:46.819><c> brothers</c><00:32:47.039><c> and</c><00:32:47.279><c> sisters,</c><00:32:47.480><c> there's</c><00:32:47.880><c> some</c><00:32:48.400><c> ideas,</c>

00:32:48.839 --> 00:32:54.480
I<00:32:49.059><c> think</c><00:32:49.240><c> about</c><00:32:50.599><c> the</c><00:32:51.859><c> challenges</c><00:32:52.359><c> as</c><00:32:52.960><c> they're</c><00:32:53.160><c> met</c><00:32:53.240><c> in</c><00:32:53.440><c> the</c><00:32:53.619><c> home.</c>

00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:58.420
And<00:32:54.940><c> I've</c><00:32:55.200><c> got</c><00:32:55.380><c> a</c><00:32:55.579><c> few</c><00:32:55.759><c> quotes</c><00:32:56.059><c> down</c><00:32:56.380><c> there</c><00:32:56.940><c> which</c><00:32:57.599><c> might</c><00:32:57.960><c> help</c><00:32:58.240><c> you.</c>

00:32:58.420 --> 00:33:00.200
You<00:32:58.539><c> can</c><00:32:59.319><c> copy</c><00:32:59.579><c> these</c><00:32:59.859><c> later</c>

00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:02.240
if<00:33:00.440><c> you're</c><00:33:00.759><c> particularly</c><00:33:01.059><c> interested</c><00:33:01.480><c> in</c><00:33:01.740><c> some</c><00:33:01.900><c> of</c><00:33:02.019><c> them.</c>

00:33:02.500 --> 00:33:03.759
A<00:33:02.700><c> loving</c><00:33:02.940><c> stable</c><00:33:03.299><c> marriage,</c>

00:33:03.880 --> 00:33:06.140
children<00:33:04.180><c> brought</c><00:33:04.420><c> up</c><00:33:04.619><c> in</c><00:33:04.819><c> godly</c><00:33:05.140><c> ways,</c>

00:33:06.220 --> 00:33:08.460
an<00:33:06.380><c> example</c><00:33:06.759><c> where</c><00:33:06.920><c> the</c><00:33:07.180><c> partner</c><00:33:07.400><c> is</c><00:33:07.579><c> not</c><00:33:07.740><c> a</c><00:33:07.900><c> Christodelphian,</c>

00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:09.740
keep<00:33:08.779><c> the</c><00:33:09.000><c> world</c><00:33:09.180><c> right</c><00:33:09.460><c> out.</c>

00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:11.539
That<00:33:10.259><c> one</c><00:33:10.400><c> in</c><00:33:10.660><c> James</c><00:33:10.940><c> says,</c>

00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:14.799
whoever<00:33:12.019><c> is</c><00:33:12.339><c> a</c><00:33:12.500><c> friend</c><00:33:12.599><c> of</c><00:33:12.740><c> the</c><00:33:12.900><c> world</c><00:33:13.119><c> is</c><00:33:13.319><c> an</c><00:33:13.500><c> enemy</c><00:33:13.720><c> of</c><00:33:13.980><c> God.</c>

00:33:15.299 --> 00:33:16.660
I<00:33:15.420><c> wonder</c><00:33:15.559><c> whether</c><00:33:15.759><c> we</c><00:33:16.000><c> slip</c><00:33:16.160><c> over</c><00:33:16.460><c> that</c>

00:33:16.660 --> 00:33:18.819
a<00:33:16.759><c> bit</c><00:33:16.960><c> too</c><00:33:17.319><c> quickly</c><00:33:17.579><c> sometimes.</c>

00:33:19.220 --> 00:33:21.019
Be<00:33:19.359><c> careful</c><00:33:19.700><c> about</c><00:33:19.960><c> bringing</c><00:33:20.200><c> the</c><00:33:20.420><c> world</c><00:33:20.599><c> in.</c>

00:33:21.160 --> 00:33:22.319
It's<00:33:21.339><c> hard</c><00:33:21.519><c> enough</c><00:33:21.640><c> to</c><00:33:21.819><c> keep</c><00:33:21.920><c> it</c><00:33:22.119><c> out,</c>

00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:25.400
but<00:33:22.500><c> if</c><00:33:22.680><c> you</c><00:33:22.859><c> invite</c><00:33:23.079><c> it</c><00:33:23.259><c> in,</c><00:33:24.559><c> beware,</c>

00:33:26.039 --> 00:33:28.640
because<00:33:26.440><c> James</c><00:33:26.839><c> says</c><00:33:27.059><c> you</c><00:33:27.240><c> might</c><00:33:27.559><c> be</c><00:33:27.819><c> the</c><00:33:28.000><c> enemy</c><00:33:28.240><c> of</c><00:33:28.460><c> God</c>

There<00:33:45.259><c> are</c><00:33:45.299><c> many</c><00:33:45.539><c> of</c><00:33:45.680><c> us</c><00:33:45.900><c> who</c><00:33:46.119><c> maybe</c>

00:34:01.480 --> 00:34:02.819
Imagine,<00:34:02.160><c> brothers</c><00:34:02.299><c> and</c><00:34:02.519><c> sisters,</c>

and<00:34:17.179><c> I've</c><00:34:17.480><c> got</c><00:34:17.619><c> power</c><00:34:17.780><c> to</c><00:34:17.980><c> do</c><00:34:18.119><c> that.</c>

00:34:18.380 --> 00:34:19.280
That's<00:34:18.699><c> fine</c><00:34:18.920><c> for</c><00:34:19.079><c> Peter.</c>

00:34:19.500 --> 00:34:23.480
But<00:34:19.820><c> my</c><00:34:20.199><c> role</c><00:34:20.679><c> is</c><00:34:22.519><c> to</c><00:34:22.820><c> fill</c><00:34:22.920><c> up</c><00:34:23.119><c> the</c><00:34:23.320><c> measure</c>

00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:28.440
My<00:34:25.320><c> role</c><00:34:25.659><c> was</c><00:34:26.260><c> told</c><00:34:26.800><c> me</c><00:34:27.519><c> when</c><00:34:27.739><c> I</c><00:34:27.960><c> was</c><00:34:28.199><c> called</c>

00:34:39.800 --> 00:34:41.360
So<00:34:39.960><c> it's</c><00:34:40.199><c> a</c><00:34:40.320><c> choice,</c><00:34:40.860><c> brothers</c><00:34:41.059><c> and</c><00:34:41.159><c> sisters,</c>

I<00:35:58.039><c> want</c><00:35:58.179><c> to</c><00:35:58.320><c> be</c><00:35:58.519><c> buried</c><00:35:58.719><c> in</c><00:35:58.860><c> these</c><00:35:59.099><c> waters</c><00:35:59.300><c> of</c><00:35:59.559><c> baptism</c>

00:35:59.980 --> 00:36:03.280
because<00:36:00.539><c> I</c><00:36:01.119><c> confess</c><00:36:01.599><c> my</c><00:36:01.980><c> sins</c><00:36:02.239><c> and</c><00:36:02.360><c> I</c><00:36:02.539><c> want</c><00:36:02.639><c> to</c><00:36:02.780><c> live</c><00:36:02.880><c> a</c><00:36:02.980><c> new</c><00:36:03.079><c> life.</c>

00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:07.039
I<00:36:03.659><c> am</c><00:36:03.860><c> willing</c><00:36:04.079><c> to</c><00:36:04.360><c> identify</c><00:36:04.760><c> myself</c><00:36:05.420><c> with</c><00:36:05.639><c> you</c><00:36:05.800><c> in</c><00:36:06.079><c> death.</c>

00:36:08.820 --> 00:36:10.579
And<00:36:09.039><c> then</c><00:36:09.139><c> we</c><00:36:09.300><c> emerged</c><00:36:09.559><c> from</c><00:36:09.780><c> the</c><00:36:09.920><c> waters</c><00:36:10.119><c> of</c><00:36:10.320><c> baptism</c>

00:36:10.579 --> 00:36:12.980
and<00:36:10.840><c> sometimes</c><00:36:11.079><c> didn't</c><00:36:11.280><c> expect</c><00:36:11.579><c> an</c><00:36:11.800><c> armchair</c><00:36:12.099><c> ride.</c>

00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:17.039
Jesus<00:36:14.099><c> says</c><00:36:14.719><c> it's</c><00:36:15.320><c> the</c><00:36:15.460><c> way</c><00:36:15.619><c> of</c><00:36:15.820><c> the</c><00:36:16.059><c> cross.</c>

00:36:18.880 --> 00:36:22.980
And<00:36:19.139><c> the</c><00:36:19.340><c> challenge</c><00:36:19.780><c> is</c><00:36:20.179><c> to</c><00:36:21.380><c> sometimes</c><00:36:22.000><c> realise</c><00:36:22.619><c> that</c>

00:36:22.980 --> 00:36:25.699
against<00:36:23.380><c> the</c><00:36:23.900><c> influences</c><00:36:24.280><c> of</c><00:36:24.699><c> the</c><00:36:24.900><c> world.</c>

00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:28.639
Now<00:36:27.260><c> I</c><00:36:27.320><c> was</c><00:36:27.440><c> going</c><00:36:27.519><c> to</c><00:36:27.679><c> mention</c><00:36:27.880><c> a</c><00:36:27.980><c> lot</c><00:36:28.099><c> more</c><00:36:28.360><c> things</c>

00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:29.639
about<00:36:28.940><c> ecclesial</c><00:36:29.460><c> life.</c>

00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:33.340
I'll<00:36:29.760><c> just</c><00:36:29.980><c> put</c><00:36:30.159><c> up</c><00:36:30.420><c> these</c><00:36:31.280><c> two</c><00:36:32.539><c> or</c><00:36:32.639><c> three</c><00:36:32.900><c> slides</c>

00:36:33.340 --> 00:36:35.739
because<00:36:34.019><c> we'll</c><00:36:34.960><c> run</c><00:36:35.079><c> out</c><00:36:35.280><c> of</c><00:36:35.519><c> time.</c>

00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:36.980
So<00:36:36.000><c> rather</c><00:36:36.239><c> than</c><00:36:36.460><c> attempt</c><00:36:36.699><c> them,</c>

00:36:36.980 --> 00:36:40.280
we'll<00:36:37.380><c> just</c><00:36:37.639><c> use</c><00:36:37.860><c> them</c><00:36:38.159><c> as</c><00:36:39.059><c> bullet</c><00:36:39.340><c> points</c><00:36:39.699><c> really</c>

00:36:41.719 --> 00:36:44.699
What's<00:36:41.980><c> the</c><00:36:42.159><c> challenges</c><00:36:42.619><c> in</c><00:36:42.940><c> the</c><00:36:43.079><c> ecclesial</c><00:36:43.420><c> life</c><00:36:43.679><c> we</c><00:36:43.960><c> face?</c>

00:36:45.139 --> 00:36:48.139

00:36:48.460 --> 00:36:50.900
We're<00:36:48.739><c> going</c><00:36:48.780><c> to</c><00:36:48.920><c> deal</c><00:36:49.039><c> with</c><00:36:49.199><c> this</c><00:36:49.340><c> in</c><00:36:49.500><c> our</c><00:36:49.659><c> Ephesian</c><00:36:50.099><c> study.</c>

00:36:55.400 --> 00:36:58.280
We<00:36:55.699><c> read</c><00:36:55.980><c> about</c><00:36:56.300><c> it</c><00:36:56.480><c> in</c><00:36:56.619><c> Romans</c><00:36:56.960><c> 12</c><00:36:57.539><c> tonight,</c><00:36:57.960><c> didn't</c><00:36:58.119><c> we?</c>

00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:00.840
And<00:36:58.500><c> perhaps</c><00:36:58.619><c> we</c><00:36:58.820><c> can</c><00:36:58.980><c> just</c><00:36:59.260><c> briefly</c><00:36:59.719><c> open</c><00:37:00.360><c> our</c><00:37:00.599><c> Bibles</c>

00:37:15.739 --> 00:37:17.099
It<00:37:15.780><c> means</c><00:37:16.039><c> the</c><00:37:16.280><c> service</c><00:37:16.480><c> of</c><00:37:16.659><c> the</c><00:37:16.860><c> intellect.</c>

00:37:33.099 --> 00:37:36.719
Your<00:37:33.280><c> life</c><00:37:33.559><c> is</c><00:37:33.780><c> a</c><00:37:33.880><c> sacrifice,</c><00:37:34.880><c> which</c><00:37:35.059><c> is</c><00:37:35.280><c> your</c><00:37:35.619><c> intellectual</c><00:37:36.219><c> service.</c>

Just<00:37:37.019><c> think</c><00:37:37.199><c> it,</c><00:37:37.380><c> think</c><00:37:37.579><c> it</c><00:37:37.780><c> through,</c><00:37:38.099><c> says</c><00:37:38.179><c> Paul.</c>

00:37:39.280 --> 00:37:40.280
Of<00:37:39.420><c> course,</c><00:37:39.599><c> think</c><00:37:39.820><c> it</c><00:37:40.019><c> through.</c>

00:37:48.300 --> 00:37:49.699
Don't<00:37:48.619><c> be</c><00:37:48.840><c> conformed.</c>

00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:55.159
It<00:37:50.360><c> means</c><00:37:50.840><c> to</c><00:37:52.239><c> have</c><00:37:52.519><c> a</c><00:37:52.780><c> pattern,</c><00:37:54.099><c> a</c><00:37:54.360><c> copy</c><00:37:54.579><c> of</c><00:37:54.820><c> this</c><00:37:55.019><c> world.</c>

00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:56.360
You<00:37:55.340><c> can't</c><00:37:55.699><c> live</c><00:37:55.940><c> that</c><00:37:56.219><c> way.</c>

00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:22.519

00:39:06.239 --> 00:39:09.460
I'm<00:39:06.440><c> just</c><00:39:06.719><c> saying</c><00:39:07.039><c> that</c><00:39:08.119><c> oftentimes</c><00:39:08.440><c> we</c><00:39:08.639><c> have</c><00:39:08.780><c> to</c><00:39:08.900><c> make</c><00:39:09.079><c> decisions.</c>

00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:11.199

00:39:11.679 --> 00:39:13.800
And<00:39:11.960><c> sometimes</c><00:39:12.320><c> we</c><00:39:12.559><c> find</c><00:39:12.780><c> ourselves</c><00:39:13.079><c> in</c><00:39:13.300><c> positions</c>

00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:20.039
And<00:39:16.179><c> you</c><00:39:16.360><c> might</c><00:39:16.579><c> have</c><00:39:16.820><c> to</c><00:39:17.039><c> try</c><00:39:17.139><c> and</c><00:39:17.420><c> find</c><00:39:17.659><c> a</c><00:39:18.440><c> way</c><00:39:18.619><c> to</c><00:39:18.800><c> be</c><00:39:19.000><c> out</c><00:39:19.159><c> of</c><00:39:19.300><c> there.</c>

00:39:21.500 --> 00:39:26.500
Don't<00:39:21.900><c> forget</c><00:39:22.119><c> those</c><00:39:22.539><c> three</c><00:39:23.300><c> wonderful</c><00:39:24.699><c> quotations.</c>

00:39:40.360 --> 00:39:42.820
So<00:39:40.519><c> it</c><00:39:40.639><c> seems</c><00:39:40.840><c> to</c><00:39:41.039><c> me</c><00:39:41.159><c> the</c><00:39:41.340><c> apostle</c><00:39:41.619><c> Paul</c><00:39:41.900><c> is</c><00:39:42.179><c> telling</c><00:39:42.400><c> us</c>

00:43:05.619 --> 00:43:07.260
And<00:43:05.820><c> I</c><00:43:06.139><c> want</c><00:43:06.340><c> to</c><00:43:06.460><c> get</c><00:43:06.559><c> into</c><00:43:06.800><c> detail.</c>

00:43:16.699 --> 00:43:18.820
You<00:43:16.800><c> want</c><00:43:17.000><c> a</c><00:43:17.260><c> simple</c><00:43:17.659><c> message.</c>

00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:21.219
Abraham<00:43:19.820><c> was</c><00:43:20.019><c> given</c><00:43:20.239><c> a</c><00:43:20.500><c> promise</c><00:43:20.699><c> that</c><00:43:20.900><c> in</c><00:43:21.000><c> him</c>

And<00:43:24.420><c> these</c><00:43:24.619><c> boys</c><00:43:24.800><c> do</c><00:43:25.019><c> it</c><00:43:25.260><c> well.</c>

00:43:25.860 --> 00:43:28.460

00:43:31.739 --> 00:43:32.900
Don't<00:43:32.039><c> try</c><00:43:32.320><c> and</c><00:43:32.460><c> be</c><00:43:32.579><c> ambitious.</c>

00:43:33.079 --> 00:43:34.699
We're<00:43:33.199><c> not</c><00:43:33.340><c> in</c><00:43:33.500><c> the</c><00:43:33.679><c> workplace.</c>

00:43:35.320 --> 00:43:37.900
We're<00:43:35.420><c> not</c><00:43:35.639><c> in</c><00:43:35.840><c> big</c><00:43:35.960><c> business</c><00:43:36.280><c> where</c><00:43:36.480><c> everyone's</c><00:43:37.199><c> crawling</c><00:43:37.440><c> over</c>

00:43:40.599 --> 00:43:42.900
from<00:43:40.820><c> people</c><00:43:41.139><c> climbing</c><00:43:41.480><c> all</c><00:43:41.679><c> over</c><00:43:41.900><c> them.</c>

00:43:43.780 --> 00:43:44.960
We're<00:43:44.260><c> in</c><00:43:44.400><c> an</c><00:43:44.619><c> Ecclesia.</c>

00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:46.159
We<00:43:45.519><c> love</c><00:43:45.760><c> each</c><00:43:46.000><c> other.</c>

00:43:46.179 --> 00:43:48.199
We're<00:43:46.480><c> bonded</c><00:43:46.679><c> together</c><00:43:47.099><c> in</c><00:43:47.360><c> love.</c>

00:43:48.599 --> 00:43:52.559
And<00:43:48.900><c> finally,</c><00:43:49.159><c> talking</c><00:43:49.519><c> about</c><00:43:49.880><c> the</c><00:43:50.940><c> workplace</c><00:43:51.260><c> very</c><00:43:51.679><c> briefly.</c>

00:43:54.539 --> 00:44:00.420
The<00:43:54.860><c> challenge</c><00:43:55.539><c> of</c><00:43:56.300><c> time,</c><00:43:57.380><c> the</c><00:43:57.780><c> intrusion</c><00:43:58.500><c> of</c><00:43:59.559><c> time</c>

00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:04.079
is<00:44:00.960><c> a</c><00:44:01.260><c> deadly,</c><00:44:01.860><c> deadly</c><00:44:02.940><c> thing.</c>

00:44:04.619 --> 00:44:07.300
That's<00:44:04.920><c> why</c><00:44:05.039><c> we've</c><00:44:05.420><c> got</c><00:44:06.559><c> Romans</c><00:44:06.980><c> open.</c>

00:44:07.599 --> 00:44:10.019

00:44:11.980 --> 00:44:16.059
Knowing<00:44:12.519><c> this,</c><00:44:13.179><c> verse</c><00:44:13.480><c> 11</c><00:44:14.099><c> of</c><00:44:14.460><c> chapter</c><00:44:14.800><c> 13.</c>

00:44:16.099 --> 00:44:18.539
And<00:44:16.139><c> that</c><00:44:16.460><c> knowing</c><00:44:16.719><c> the</c><00:44:17.159><c> time,</c><00:44:17.579><c> knowing</c><00:44:17.900><c> the</c><00:44:18.260><c> time,</c>

00:44:18.579 --> 00:44:20.579

00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:22.840
as<00:44:20.940><c> I</c><00:44:21.219><c> am</c><00:44:21.539><c> right</c><00:44:21.920><c> now.</c>

00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:27.320
But<00:44:24.239><c> that</c><00:44:24.619><c> now</c><00:44:24.880><c> it</c><00:44:25.039><c> is</c><00:44:25.260><c> high</c><00:44:25.519><c> time</c><00:44:25.840><c> to</c><00:44:26.079><c> awake</c><00:44:26.440><c> out</c><00:44:26.780><c> of</c><00:44:27.019><c> sleep,</c>

00:44:27.619 --> 00:44:31.320
for<00:44:27.760><c> now</c><00:44:28.079><c> is</c><00:44:28.320><c> our</c><00:44:28.500><c> salvation</c><00:44:29.099><c> nearer</c><00:44:29.940><c> than</c><00:44:30.099><c> when</c><00:44:30.400><c> we</c><00:44:30.699><c> believe</c>

00:44:31.320 --> 00:44:33.619
the<00:44:31.619><c> night</c><00:44:31.900><c> is</c><00:44:32.099><c> fast</c><00:44:32.300><c> spent,</c><00:44:32.619><c> the</c><00:44:32.800><c> day</c><00:44:32.980><c> is</c><00:44:33.099><c> at</c><00:44:33.340><c> hand.</c>

00:44:33.780 --> 00:44:36.320
Therefore<00:44:34.139><c> let</c><00:44:34.380><c> us</c><00:44:34.579><c> cast</c><00:44:34.860><c> off</c><00:44:35.199><c> the</c><00:44:35.480><c> works</c><00:44:35.719><c> of</c><00:44:36.000><c> darkness</c>

00:44:36.320 --> 00:44:39.340
and<00:44:36.800><c> put</c><00:44:37.000><c> on</c><00:44:37.219><c> the</c><00:44:37.420><c> armor</c><00:44:37.659><c> of</c><00:44:37.980><c> light</c><00:44:38.179><c> and</c><00:44:38.380><c> so</c><00:44:38.579><c> on</c><00:44:38.780><c> and</c><00:44:38.860><c> so</c><00:44:39.139><c> on.</c>

00:44:39.340 --> 00:44:41.179
But<00:44:39.679><c> see,</c><00:44:39.960><c> the</c><00:44:40.000><c> point</c><00:44:40.280><c> Paul</c><00:44:40.500><c> makes</c><00:44:40.880><c> is,</c>

00:44:41.519 --> 00:44:43.219
and<00:44:41.659><c> it's</c><00:44:41.980><c> what</c><00:44:42.139><c> a</c><00:44:42.360><c> point</c><00:44:42.539><c> of</c><00:44:42.820><c> ignorance.</c>

00:44:43.300 --> 00:44:44.219
This<00:44:43.460><c> is</c><00:44:43.699><c> so</c><00:44:44.000><c> simple.</c>

00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:48.239
We<00:44:44.460><c> are</c><00:44:44.880><c> closer</c><00:44:45.300><c> to</c><00:44:45.639><c> the</c><00:44:45.800><c> return</c><00:44:46.280><c> of</c><00:44:46.599><c> Christ</c><00:44:47.139><c> right</c><00:44:47.780><c> now</c>

00:44:48.239 --> 00:44:49.659
than<00:44:48.559><c> the</c><00:44:48.820><c> day</c><00:44:49.059><c> we</c><00:44:49.340><c> believe.</c>

00:44:49.699 --> 00:44:51.539
That<00:44:49.880><c> is</c><00:44:50.199><c> obvious.</c>

00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:54.420
Therefore<00:44:53.239><c> time</c><00:44:53.780><c> has</c><00:44:54.159><c> gone.</c>

00:44:54.619 --> 00:44:57.340
There's<00:44:54.820><c> time</c><00:44:55.059><c> remains,</c><00:44:55.699><c> but</c><00:44:55.940><c> time</c><00:44:56.219><c> has</c><00:44:56.539><c> gone.</c>

00:44:58.119 --> 00:45:00.380
There's<00:44:58.340><c> a</c><00:44:58.480><c> great</c><00:44:58.639><c> warning</c><00:44:58.920><c> in</c><00:44:59.159><c> the</c><00:44:59.760><c> world</c><00:44:59.920><c> today</c>

00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:06.780
There's<00:45:04.500><c> a</c><00:45:04.619><c> lot</c><00:45:04.719><c> of</c><00:45:04.920><c> temptations</c><00:45:05.619><c> in</c><00:45:05.820><c> the</c><00:45:06.000><c> moral</c><00:45:06.260><c> environment</c>

And<00:45:18.460><c> you're</c><00:45:18.659><c> thrown</c><00:45:18.860><c> together.</c>

00:45:19.739 --> 00:45:22.820
You're<00:45:20.059><c> thrown</c><00:45:20.199><c> together</c><00:45:20.519><c> in</c><00:45:20.780><c> field</c><00:45:20.960><c> management</c><00:45:21.420><c> and</c><00:45:21.699><c> supervision.</c>

So<00:45:50.679><c> be</c><00:45:50.820><c> very</c><00:45:51.159><c> careful.</c>

00:45:51.619 --> 00:45:54.840

00:46:01.699 --> 00:46:04.199
They've<00:46:02.000><c> got</c><00:46:02.059><c> to</c><00:46:02.199><c> be</c><00:46:02.300><c> like</c><00:46:02.659><c> Joseph's.</c>

00:46:04.199 --> 00:46:05.940
What<00:46:04.480><c> an</c><00:46:04.679><c> incredible</c><00:46:05.179><c> man</c><00:46:05.500><c> he</c><00:46:05.699><c> was.</c>

00:46:06.119 --> 00:46:09.199

00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:13.400
Never<00:46:09.980><c> knew</c><00:46:10.239><c> whether</c><00:46:10.460><c> he'd</c><00:46:10.599><c> ever</c><00:46:10.980><c> see</c><00:46:11.320><c> his</c><00:46:12.019><c> homeland</c><00:46:12.340><c> again.</c>

00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:17.039
But<00:46:13.820><c> he</c><00:46:13.920><c> had</c><00:46:14.199><c> integrity,</c><00:46:14.940><c> which</c><00:46:15.019><c> was</c><00:46:15.460><c> unbreakable.</c>

00:46:17.079 --> 00:46:20.539
Let<00:46:17.219><c> us</c><00:46:17.780><c> emulate</c><00:46:18.219><c> the</c><00:46:18.500><c> examples</c><00:46:18.820><c> of</c><00:46:19.119><c> such</c><00:46:19.300><c> men</c><00:46:19.539><c> as</c><00:46:19.800><c> him.</c>

00:46:20.579 --> 00:46:22.159
On<00:46:20.780><c> the</c><00:46:20.960><c> positive</c><00:46:21.360><c> side</c><00:46:21.619><c> of</c><00:46:21.639><c> it,</c>

00:46:22.320 --> 00:46:24.880
on<00:46:22.500><c> the</c><00:46:22.719><c> positive</c><00:46:23.179><c> side</c><00:46:23.460><c> in</c><00:46:23.860><c> the</c><00:46:24.079><c> workplace</c><00:46:24.480><c> today,</c>

00:46:25.260 --> 00:46:28.599
there<00:46:25.440><c> is</c><00:46:25.760><c> ample</c><00:46:26.000><c> opportunity</c><00:46:26.840><c> for</c><00:46:27.760><c> showing</c><00:46:28.000><c> an</c><00:46:28.340><c> example</c>

00:46:29.860 --> 00:46:30.820
Why<00:46:30.179><c> are</c><00:46:30.420><c> you</c><00:46:30.579><c> different?</c>

00:46:30.940 --> 00:46:32.860
Why<00:46:31.239><c> don't</c><00:46:31.500><c> you</c><00:46:31.719><c> attend</c><00:46:32.039><c> office</c><00:46:32.420><c> parties</c>

00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:37.659
Why?

00:46:39.320 --> 00:46:41.500
And<00:46:39.559><c> rather</c><00:46:39.760><c> Ken</c><00:46:40.019><c> covered</c><00:46:40.320><c> that</c><00:46:40.559><c> nicely</c><00:46:40.960><c> this</c><00:46:41.239><c> morning,</c>

00:46:41.659 --> 00:46:43.480
I<00:46:41.659><c> think,</c><00:46:41.900><c> in</c><00:46:42.099><c> dealing</c><00:46:42.320><c> with</c><00:46:42.679><c> Esther.</c>

00:46:44.420 --> 00:46:46.420
So<00:46:44.659><c> these</c><00:46:44.880><c> are</c><00:46:45.079><c> the</c><00:46:45.260><c> challenges,</c><00:46:45.880><c> brothers</c><00:46:46.019><c> and</c><00:46:46.260><c> sisters,</c>

the<00:46:56.139><c> challenge</c><00:46:56.400><c> is</c><00:46:56.820><c> to</c><00:46:57.059><c> serve</c><00:46:57.280><c> a</c><00:46:57.480><c> God</c><00:46:57.780><c> who</c><00:46:58.119><c> changes</c><00:46:58.500><c> not.</c>

00:46:59.780 --> 00:47:04.380
And<00:47:00.380><c> a</c><00:47:00.539><c> master</c><00:47:01.019><c> who</c><00:47:01.420><c> is</c><00:47:01.579><c> the</c><00:47:01.760><c> same</c><00:47:01.960><c> yesterday,</c><00:47:02.519><c> today</c><00:47:03.139><c> and</c><00:47:03.380><c> forever</c>

00:47:08.099 --> 00:47:10.860

00:47:11.340 --> 00:47:12.739
And<00:47:11.500><c> I'll</c><00:47:11.619><c> just</c><00:47:11.840><c> conclude</c><00:47:12.199><c> on</c><00:47:12.400><c> this.</c>

00:47:13.119 --> 00:47:15.860

00:47:15.860 --> 00:47:16.820
Why?

00:47:18.019 --> 00:47:22.320
Why<00:47:18.280><c> do</c><00:47:18.519><c> I</c><00:47:18.780><c> support</c><00:47:19.440><c> old</c><00:47:20.039><c> Christadelphian</c><00:47:20.820><c> traditional</c><00:47:21.340><c> teachings?</c>

00:47:42.300 --> 00:47:43.679
Very<00:47:42.860><c> simple.</c>

00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:46.739
They've<00:47:45.519><c> been</c><00:47:45.780><c> tested.</c>

00:47:47.780 --> 00:47:49.579

00:47:52.679 --> 00:47:58.059
So<00:47:52.880><c> are</c><00:47:53.139><c> any</c><00:47:54.500><c> beliefs</c><00:47:55.199><c> or</c><00:47:56.659><c> way</c><00:47:56.920><c> of</c><00:47:57.099><c> living.</c>
