00:14:28.340 --> 00:14:34.080
Let's<00:14:28.580><c> think</c><00:14:28.779><c> also</c><00:14:29.200><c> of</c><00:14:29.580><c> Tamar</c><00:14:30.159><c> who</c><00:14:30.659><c> was</c><00:14:31.159><c> threatened</c><00:14:31.519><c> with</c><00:14:31.799><c> being</c><00:14:32.179><c> burnt</c><00:14:32.820><c> because</c><00:14:33.639><c> she</c>

It<00:15:13.659><c> is</c><00:15:13.860><c> a</c><00:15:13.940><c> most</c><00:15:14.139><c> wonderful</c><00:15:14.720><c> compilation.</c>

00:15:16.190 --> 00:15:20.860

00:15:30.740 --> 00:15:35.700
Now<00:15:30.799><c> let's</c><00:15:31.220><c> put</c><00:15:31.460><c> ourselves</c><00:15:32.019><c> into</c><00:15:32.460><c> the</c><00:15:32.639><c> picture</c><00:15:33.220><c> correctly</c><00:15:34.399><c> here.</c>

00:15:46.059 --> 00:15:49.080
She<00:15:46.340><c> thought</c><00:15:46.899><c> that</c><00:15:47.360><c> Cain</c><00:15:47.539><c> was</c><00:15:47.840><c> the</c><00:15:48.080><c> seed</c><00:15:48.320><c> who</c><00:15:48.580><c> would</c><00:15:48.840><c> deliver</c>

Verse<00:15:51.960><c> 2,</c><00:15:52.720><c> she</c><00:15:52.940><c> again</c><00:15:53.620><c> bare</c><00:15:54.100><c> his</c><00:15:54.559><c> brother</c><00:15:55.440><c> Abel.</c>

00:15:57.460 --> 00:16:05.139
And<00:15:57.720><c> Abel</c><00:15:58.080><c> was</c><00:15:58.840><c> a</c><00:15:59.639><c> keeper</c><00:16:00.259><c> of</c><00:16:01.279><c> sheep,</c><00:16:01.960><c> but</c><00:16:02.659><c> Cain</c><00:16:03.240><c> was</c><00:16:03.860><c> a</c><00:16:04.580><c> tiller</c>

00:16:07.100 --> 00:16:12.639
So<00:16:07.620><c> Abel</c><00:16:07.919><c> was</c><00:16:08.139><c> a</c><00:16:08.320><c> shepherd,</c><00:16:09.440><c> Cain</c><00:16:09.700><c> was</c><00:16:10.480><c> an</c><00:16:11.240><c> agriculturalist,</c>

00:40:14.409 --> 00:40:17.469
It<00:40:15.489><c> would</c><00:40:15.710><c> be</c><00:40:15.989><c> a</c><00:40:16.150><c> grievous</c><00:40:16.469><c> loss</c><00:40:16.789><c> to</c><00:40:17.010><c> him</c>

00:40:32.130 --> 00:40:34.769
What's<00:40:32.510><c> the</c><00:40:32.650><c> first</c><00:40:33.050><c> step</c><00:40:33.349><c> that</c><00:40:33.550><c> we</c><00:40:33.710><c> should</c><00:40:33.849><c> take?</c>

00:40:35.210 --> 00:40:38.889
The<00:40:35.530><c> last</c><00:40:36.070><c> step</c><00:40:36.409><c> that</c><00:40:36.590><c> we</c><00:40:36.769><c> should</c><00:40:36.969><c> take</c><00:40:37.369><c> is</c><00:40:37.809><c> to</c><00:40:38.230><c> kick</c><00:40:38.369><c> him</c><00:40:38.590><c> out</c>

00:40:40.230 --> 00:40:43.670
The<00:40:40.610><c> first</c><00:40:41.070><c> step</c><00:40:41.389><c> should</c><00:40:41.750><c> never</c><00:40:42.210><c> ever</c><00:40:42.949><c> be</c><00:40:43.289><c> that.</c>

00:40:43.670 --> 00:40:47.769
It<00:40:44.329><c> should</c><00:40:44.510><c> be</c><00:40:44.710><c> to</c><00:40:45.010><c> go</c><00:40:45.289><c> to</c><00:40:45.489><c> him</c><00:40:45.730><c> with</c><00:40:46.090><c> the</c><00:40:46.329><c> attitude</c><00:40:46.670><c> that</c><00:40:46.889><c> we</c><00:40:47.130><c> are</c><00:40:47.409><c> a</c><00:40:47.530><c> shepherd,</c>

00:40:47.889 --> 00:40:50.409
we<00:40:47.969><c> are</c><00:40:48.150><c> shepherds,</c><00:40:48.690><c> we</c><00:40:48.929><c> care</c><00:40:49.230><c> about</c><00:40:49.510><c> this</c><00:40:49.710><c> man</c><00:40:49.889><c> or</c><00:40:50.010><c> this</c><00:40:50.210><c> woman,</c>

00:40:50.530 --> 00:40:52.889
we<00:40:50.849><c> are</c><00:40:51.190><c> interested</c><00:40:51.610><c> in</c><00:40:51.750><c> your</c><00:40:51.949><c> problems.</c>

00:40:53.010 --> 00:40:54.469
Let's<00:40:53.409><c> talk</c><00:40:53.610><c> about</c><00:40:53.889><c> it.</c>

00:40:54.670 --> 00:40:59.050
Discuss<00:40:55.090><c> it</c><00:40:55.389><c> sympathetically</c><00:40:56.150><c> rather</c><00:40:56.889><c> than</c><00:40:57.409><c> with</c><00:40:58.010><c> a</c><00:40:58.309><c> rod.</c>

00:40:59.550 --> 00:41:02.289
I've<00:40:59.809><c> very</c><00:41:00.090><c> rarely</c><00:41:00.409><c> read</c><00:41:00.690><c> in</c><00:41:00.909><c> scripture</c><00:41:01.190><c> or</c><00:41:01.429><c> anywhere</c><00:41:01.690><c> else</c>

00:41:02.289 --> 00:41:05.750
about<00:41:02.869><c> a</c><00:41:03.090><c> shepherd</c><00:41:03.329><c> taking</c><00:41:03.730><c> a</c><00:41:04.030><c> rod</c><00:41:04.230><c> and</c><00:41:04.710><c> beating</c><00:41:05.030><c> his</c><00:41:05.289><c> sheep.</c>

00:41:06.250 --> 00:41:07.230
Very,<00:41:06.690><c> very</c><00:41:06.869><c> rarely.</c>

00:41:07.570 --> 00:41:09.849
And<00:41:07.769><c> yet</c><00:41:07.949><c> so</c><00:41:08.349><c> often</c><00:41:08.489><c> this</c><00:41:08.710><c> is</c><00:41:09.070><c> our</c><00:41:09.329><c> attitude.</c>

00:41:09.849 --> 00:41:12.809
That's<00:41:11.010><c> the</c><00:41:11.010><c> very</c><00:41:11.489><c> first</c><00:41:12.010><c> sign</c><00:41:12.250><c> of</c><00:41:12.530><c> trouble.</c>

00:41:13.289 --> 00:41:19.110
We<00:41:13.449><c> cut</c><00:41:13.769><c> off,</c><00:41:14.730><c> we</c><00:41:15.070><c> chop,</c><00:41:15.989><c> we</c><00:41:16.329><c> shove</c><00:41:16.630><c> to</c><00:41:16.889><c> one</c><00:41:17.190><c> side,</c><00:41:17.730><c> we</c><00:41:18.070><c> axe,</c>

00:41:19.489 --> 00:41:23.329
we<00:41:20.130><c> do</c><00:41:20.269><c> everything</c><00:41:20.869><c> that</c><00:41:21.110><c> a</c><00:41:21.269><c> shepherd</c><00:41:21.570><c> would</c><00:41:22.130><c> never</c><00:41:22.329><c> do.</c>

00:41:23.789 --> 00:41:27.829
Yes,<00:41:24.170><c> there</c><00:41:24.349><c> comes</c><00:41:24.610><c> a</c><00:41:24.809><c> time</c><00:41:25.369><c> when</c><00:41:25.989><c> the</c><00:41:26.250><c> infection</c><00:41:26.570><c> is</c><00:41:26.769><c> too</c><00:41:26.969><c> great,</c>

00:41:28.030 --> 00:41:29.929
when<00:41:28.349><c> it</c><00:41:28.650><c> does</c><00:41:28.909><c> need</c><00:41:29.170><c> cutting</c><00:41:29.449><c> off.</c>

00:41:30.190 --> 00:41:33.949
But<00:41:30.469><c> it</c><00:41:30.650><c> should</c><00:41:30.789><c> then</c><00:41:31.130><c> be</c><00:41:31.389><c> done,</c><00:41:31.670><c> if</c><00:41:31.929><c> at</c><00:41:32.190><c> all,</c><00:41:32.849><c> with</c><00:41:33.530><c> love,</c>

00:41:34.409 --> 00:41:37.010
with<00:41:34.670><c> great</c><00:41:34.949><c> sorrow,</c><00:41:36.150><c> with</c><00:41:36.690><c> regret,</c>

00:41:37.010 --> 00:41:40.110
rather<00:41:37.889><c> than</c><00:41:38.289><c> saying</c><00:41:38.510><c> to</c><00:41:38.730><c> ourselves,</c><00:41:39.289><c> oh,</c><00:41:39.289><c> well,</c><00:41:39.409><c> he's</c><00:41:39.530><c> gone</c><00:41:39.750><c> now,</c>

00:41:40.309 --> 00:41:41.610
problems<00:41:40.630><c> are</c><00:41:40.849><c> finished.</c>

00:41:41.949 --> 00:41:45.010
We<00:41:42.349><c> can</c><00:41:42.510><c> get</c><00:41:42.630><c> on</c><00:41:42.789><c> with</c><00:41:42.949><c> the</c><00:41:43.070><c> business</c><00:41:43.409><c> of</c><00:41:43.809><c> being</c><00:41:43.989><c> in</c><00:41:44.130><c> the</c><00:41:44.289><c> truth.</c>

00:41:45.130 --> 00:41:48.090
Too<00:41:45.389><c> often</c><00:41:45.929><c> is</c><00:41:46.130><c> it</c><00:41:46.309><c> like</c><00:41:46.550><c> that,</c><00:41:46.869><c> brothers</c><00:41:47.030><c> and</c><00:41:47.150><c> sisters.</c>

00:41:48.469 --> 00:41:51.849
Tend<00:41:48.949><c> the</c><00:41:49.369><c> flock</c><00:41:49.570><c> of</c><00:41:49.989><c> God</c><00:41:50.309><c> which</c><00:41:50.869><c> is</c><00:41:51.130><c> among</c><00:41:51.309><c> you.</c>

00:41:52.090 --> 00:41:56.469
Feed<00:41:52.590><c> them,</c><00:41:53.710><c> heal</c><00:41:54.170><c> them,</c><00:41:55.150><c> give</c><00:41:55.309><c> them</c><00:41:55.550><c> water</c><00:41:55.829><c> to</c><00:41:56.130><c> drink,</c>

00:41:56.909 --> 00:42:01.309
look<00:41:57.269><c> after</c><00:41:57.710><c> them,</c><00:41:58.250><c> because</c><00:41:58.710><c> sheep</c><00:41:59.050><c> are</c><00:41:59.409><c> basically</c><00:41:59.929><c> stupid.</c>

00:42:01.869 --> 00:42:05.130
And<00:42:02.170><c> if</c><00:42:02.409><c> it</c><00:42:03.369><c> doesn't</c><00:42:03.690><c> please</c><00:42:03.989><c> you</c><00:42:04.150><c> to</c><00:42:04.269><c> be</c><00:42:04.429><c> likened</c><00:42:04.630><c> to</c><00:42:04.809><c> a</c><00:42:04.949><c> sheep,</c>

then<00:42:05.769><c> please</c><00:42:06.309><c> rest</c><00:42:06.789><c> assured</c><00:42:07.050><c> it</c><00:42:07.250><c> is</c><00:42:07.369><c> not</c><00:42:07.489><c> me</c><00:42:07.730><c> that's</c><00:42:07.889><c> doing</c><00:42:08.090><c> it.</c>

00:42:08.510 --> 00:42:09.949
It's<00:42:08.829><c> the</c><00:42:08.929><c> Word</c><00:42:09.030><c> of</c><00:42:09.230><c> God.</c>

00:42:10.269 --> 00:42:12.010
Sheep<00:42:10.610><c> are</c><00:42:10.949><c> basically</c><00:42:11.510><c> stupid.</c>

00:42:19.570 --> 00:42:21.130
I'm<00:42:19.809><c> very</c><00:42:20.030><c> much</c><00:42:20.230><c> minded,</c><00:42:20.730><c> brothers</c><00:42:20.849><c> and</c><00:42:21.010><c> sisters,</c>
