I<00:05:18.519><c> have</c><00:05:18.779><c> been</c><00:05:19.600><c> told</c><00:05:20.100><c> by</c><00:05:20.519><c> somebody,</c><00:05:21.060><c> it</c><00:05:21.160><c> has</c><00:05:21.259><c> been</c><00:05:21.519><c> suggested</c>

00:05:22.060 --> 00:05:23.120
to<00:05:22.759><c> me,</c>

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:29.839
that<00:05:23.420><c> we</c><00:05:23.699><c> should</c><00:05:24.100><c> not</c><00:05:25.019><c> overly</c><00:05:25.699><c> burden</c><00:05:26.339><c> our</c><00:05:27.660><c> young</c><00:05:28.220><c> people</c>

00:05:30.699 --> 00:05:37.399
with<00:05:31.300><c> such</c><00:05:31.680><c> high</c><00:05:32.180><c> standards,</c><00:05:34.660><c> such</c><00:05:34.779><c> high</c><00:05:35.100><c> demands</c><00:05:35.860><c> of</c><00:05:37.060><c> morality</c>

00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:40.720
because<00:05:37.699><c> they</c><00:05:37.839><c> have</c><00:05:38.019><c> to</c><00:05:38.240><c> live</c><00:05:38.740><c> out</c><00:05:39.279><c> there</c><00:05:39.439><c> in</c><00:05:39.579><c> a</c><00:05:39.839><c> very,</c><00:05:40.040><c> very</c><00:05:40.319><c> difficult</c>

00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:42.899
and<00:05:40.899><c> a</c><00:05:41.000><c> very,</c><00:05:41.199><c> very</c><00:05:42.100><c> immoral</c><00:05:42.660><c> world.</c>

00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:47.319
And<00:05:43.060><c> if</c><00:05:43.100><c> they</c><00:05:43.420><c> tried</c><00:05:43.720><c> to</c><00:05:44.000><c> observe</c><00:05:45.019><c> these</c><00:05:45.579><c> things</c><00:05:46.019><c> in</c><00:05:46.439><c> their</c><00:05:46.860><c> world,</c>

00:05:47.459 --> 00:05:50.079
then<00:05:47.560><c> they</c><00:05:47.759><c> would</c><00:05:48.259><c> inevitably</c><00:05:48.860><c> fail</c><00:05:49.220><c> so</c><00:05:49.379><c> they</c><00:05:49.519><c> won't</c><00:05:49.779><c> try</c>

00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:51.579
or<00:05:50.220><c> they</c><00:05:50.379><c> become</c><00:05:50.519><c> embarrassed</c><00:05:51.000><c> by</c><00:05:51.279><c> it.</c>

00:05:51.579 --> 00:05:55.100
Or<00:05:51.860><c> if</c><00:05:51.980><c> they</c><00:05:52.100><c> do</c><00:05:52.339><c> try</c><00:05:52.540><c> and</c><00:05:52.579><c> they</c><00:05:52.839><c> fail,</c><00:05:53.100><c> they'll</c><00:05:53.240><c> feel</c><00:05:53.879><c> terribly</c><00:05:54.360><c> guilty</c>

00:05:55.100 --> 00:05:57.279
about<00:05:55.500><c> the</c><00:05:55.680><c> whole</c><00:05:56.060><c> process.</c>

00:05:57.379 --> 00:05:58.439
So<00:05:57.560><c> let's</c><00:05:57.839><c> not</c><00:05:58.199><c> start.</c>

00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:01.540
Well,<00:05:58.819><c> Brendan,</c><00:05:59.019><c> I</c><00:05:59.259><c> can't</c><00:05:59.899><c> go</c><00:06:00.180><c> with</c><00:06:00.360><c> that</c><00:06:00.639><c> one</c><00:06:00.920><c> and</c><00:06:01.120><c> I'm</c><00:06:01.300><c> sure</c>

00:06:01.540 --> 00:06:02.980
you<00:06:01.839><c> can't</c><00:06:02.660><c> either.</c>

00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.639
That's<00:06:03.420><c> the</c><00:06:03.560><c> quickest</c><00:06:03.800><c> way</c><00:06:04.459><c> to</c><00:06:04.939><c> produce</c><00:06:05.379><c> spiritual</c><00:06:06.000><c> pygmies</c>

00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.759
in<00:06:07.639><c> our</c><00:06:08.620><c> community.</c>

00:06:09.899 --> 00:06:13.639
And<00:06:10.180><c> if</c><00:06:10.339><c> we</c><00:06:10.560><c> don't</c><00:06:10.839><c> teach</c><00:06:11.220><c> the</c><00:06:11.360><c> right</c><00:06:11.600><c> sort</c><00:06:11.819><c> of</c><00:06:12.019><c> behaviour</c><00:06:12.839><c> today,</c>

00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:16.060
then<00:06:14.120><c> what</c><00:06:14.360><c> will</c><00:06:14.579><c> it</c><00:06:14.680><c> be</c><00:06:14.920><c> like</c><00:06:15.199><c> tomorrow?</c>

00:06:16.100 --> 00:06:18.779
Will<00:06:16.379><c> the</c><00:06:16.620><c> Lord</c><00:06:16.839><c> find</c><00:06:17.620><c> faith</c><00:06:18.160><c> on</c><00:06:18.439><c> the</c><00:06:18.600><c> earth?</c>

00:06:18.779 --> 00:06:21.459
And<00:06:19.120><c> maybe</c><00:06:19.399><c> it</c><00:06:19.600><c> says</c><00:06:19.779><c> something</c><00:06:20.139><c> about</c><00:06:20.420><c> the</c><00:06:20.600><c> way</c><00:06:20.819><c> we</c><00:06:21.100><c> talk</c>

00:06:21.459 --> 00:06:22.620
about<00:06:22.139><c> morality</c>

00:06:22.620 --> 00:06:24.300
and<00:06:22.860><c> the</c><00:06:22.939><c> way</c><00:06:23.100><c> we</c><00:06:23.420><c> teach</c><00:06:23.759><c> morality.</c>

00:06:24.540 --> 00:06:30.600
Perhaps<00:06:24.740><c> we</c><00:06:25.079><c> over</c><00:06:25.339><c> emphasise</c><00:06:26.540><c> the</c><00:06:27.040><c> negative</c><00:06:27.720><c> aspects</c><00:06:28.459><c> of</c><00:06:30.120><c> morality</c>

00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:35.160
and<00:06:30.839><c> of</c><00:06:31.019><c> God's</c><00:06:31.279><c> behaviour</c><00:06:31.660><c> rather</c><00:06:32.439><c> than</c><00:06:33.399><c> the</c><00:06:34.120><c> positive.</c>

00:06:35.860 --> 00:06:40.279
So<00:06:36.079><c> to</c><00:06:36.300><c> me,</c><00:06:36.879><c> none</c><00:06:36.980><c> of</c><00:06:37.139><c> these</c><00:06:37.319><c> reasons</c><00:06:37.819><c> are</c><00:06:38.939><c> good</c><00:06:39.220><c> enough</c>

00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:45.439
to<00:06:41.980><c> not</c><00:06:42.480><c> consider</c><00:06:43.100><c> the</c><00:06:43.360><c> whole</c><00:06:43.579><c> business</c><00:06:44.019><c> of</c><00:06:45.000><c> morality</c>

00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:16.360

00:25:49.279 --> 00:25:53.140
I'm<00:25:49.799><c> calling</c><00:25:50.140><c> in</c><00:25:51.079><c> at</c><00:25:52.160><c> Psalms</c>

00:25:53.140 --> 00:25:58.759
and<00:25:53.680><c> it's</c><00:25:54.180><c> Psalm</c><00:25:54.500><c> 50</c><00:25:55.539><c> that</c><00:25:56.880><c> I'm</c><00:25:57.119><c> looking</c><00:25:57.400><c> at.</c>

00:25:59.559 --> 00:26:03.599
Because<00:25:59.900><c> there</c><00:26:00.099><c> is</c><00:26:00.960><c> in</c><00:26:01.740><c> our</c><00:26:02.299><c> world</c>

00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:10.480
by<00:26:05.079><c> its</c><00:26:05.319><c> very</c><00:26:05.559><c> nature</c><00:26:06.299><c> a</c><00:26:09.059><c> predilection</c>

00:26:11.339 --> 00:26:15.000
to<00:26:12.059><c> diminish</c><00:26:12.779><c> the</c><00:26:13.980><c> character</c><00:26:14.319><c> and</c><00:26:14.519><c> the</c><00:26:14.740><c> standing</c>

00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:17.460
and<00:26:15.240><c> the</c><00:26:15.440><c> status</c><00:26:15.759><c> and</c><00:26:15.980><c> the</c><00:26:16.259><c> power</c>

00:26:18.059 --> 00:26:21.720
and<00:26:18.779><c> the</c><00:26:18.980><c> holiness</c><00:26:19.400><c> of</c><00:26:20.220><c> the</c><00:26:20.460><c> Lord</c><00:26:20.839><c> God.</c>

00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:24.039
To<00:26:22.319><c> make</c><00:26:22.519><c> Him</c><00:26:22.759><c> a</c><00:26:23.019><c> mini</c><00:26:23.259><c>-God,</c>

00:26:24.460 --> 00:26:27.039
to<00:26:25.160><c> reduce</c><00:26:25.799><c> Him</c><00:26:26.240><c> in</c><00:26:26.599><c> size</c>

00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:30.819
and<00:26:27.740><c> to</c><00:26:27.940><c> make</c><00:26:28.079><c> Him</c><00:26:29.660><c> contingent</c>

00:26:30.819 --> 00:26:33.380
upon<00:26:31.180><c> the</c><00:26:31.480><c> needs</c><00:26:31.900><c> of</c><00:26:32.220><c> other</c><00:26:32.400><c> people.</c>

00:26:33.579 --> 00:26:35.259
So<00:26:33.900><c> it</c><00:26:34.039><c> depends</c><00:26:34.319><c> what</c><00:26:34.500><c> people</c><00:26:34.779><c> need</c>

00:26:35.259 --> 00:26:38.380
in<00:26:35.619><c> terms</c><00:26:35.900><c> of</c><00:26:36.079><c> whether</c><00:26:36.220><c> they</c><00:26:36.700><c> turn</c><00:26:37.019><c> to</c><00:26:37.180><c> God</c><00:26:37.460><c> or</c><00:26:37.779><c> not.</c>

00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:41.539
That<00:26:39.200><c> would</c><00:26:39.500><c> be</c><00:26:39.960><c> the</c><00:26:40.240><c> gravest</c><00:26:40.660><c> of</c><00:26:41.019><c> mistakes</c>

00:26:41.539 --> 00:26:44.559
if<00:26:42.039><c> we</c><00:26:42.240><c> were</c><00:26:42.380><c> to</c><00:26:42.599><c> fall</c><00:26:42.940><c> into</c><00:26:43.319><c> that</c><00:26:43.720><c> trap.</c>

00:26:45.019 --> 00:26:47.460
The<00:26:45.160><c> essence</c><00:26:45.579><c> of</c><00:26:46.259><c> this</c><00:26:46.640><c> particular</c><00:26:47.160><c> talk</c>

00:26:47.460 --> 00:26:49.859
is<00:26:48.019><c> that</c><00:26:48.319><c> God</c><00:26:48.619><c> is</c><00:26:49.019><c> God.</c>

00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:55.200
And<00:26:50.299><c> when</c><00:26:50.619><c> you</c><00:26:51.440><c> look</c><00:26:52.380><c> at</c><00:26:52.640><c> Psalms</c><00:26:53.619><c> 50,</c>

00:26:57.299 --> 00:27:00.619
you'll<00:26:57.940><c> see</c><00:26:58.059><c> that</c><00:26:58.259><c> that's</c><00:26:58.440><c> what</c><00:26:58.619><c> the</c><00:26:58.779><c> people</c><00:26:58.940><c> of</c><00:26:59.099><c> God</c><00:26:59.319><c> were</c><00:26:59.579><c> doing.</c>

00:27:01.779 --> 00:27:06.279
They<00:27:02.299><c> were</c><00:27:02.519><c> picking</c><00:27:02.779><c> and</c><00:27:03.119><c> choosing</c><00:27:03.440><c> on</c><00:27:04.240><c> their</c><00:27:05.200><c> morality.</c>

00:27:07.380 --> 00:27:08.619
I'll<00:27:07.519><c> look</c><00:27:07.619><c> at</c><00:27:07.700><c> verse</c><00:27:07.859><c> 18.</c>

00:27:08.960 --> 00:27:10.319
Thou<00:27:09.180><c> sawest</c><00:27:09.640><c> a</c><00:27:09.819><c> thief</c><00:27:10.059><c> then,</c>

00:27:10.819 --> 00:27:12.279
thou<00:27:11.000><c> consentest</c><00:27:11.640><c> with</c><00:27:11.839><c> him,</c>

00:27:12.779 --> 00:27:15.500
and<00:27:12.940><c> hast</c><00:27:13.079><c> been</c><00:27:13.279><c> partaker</c><00:27:14.000><c> with</c><00:27:14.920><c> adulterers.</c>

00:27:15.579 --> 00:27:16.680
Maybe<00:27:15.799><c> not</c><00:27:16.019><c> done</c><00:27:16.140><c> it</c><00:27:16.259><c> yourself,</c>

00:27:16.740 --> 00:27:20.099
but<00:27:17.059><c> you</c><00:27:17.880><c> make</c><00:27:18.099><c> excuses</c><00:27:18.559><c> for</c><00:27:18.740><c> those</c><00:27:19.000><c> that</c><00:27:19.259><c> do.</c>

00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:22.500
Verse<00:27:20.420><c> 19,</c><00:27:21.079><c> thou</c><00:27:21.299><c> givest</c><00:27:21.559><c> thy</c><00:27:21.779><c> mouth</c><00:27:22.079><c> to</c><00:27:22.299><c> evil,</c>

00:27:22.579 --> 00:27:24.359
thy<00:27:22.720><c> tongue</c><00:27:23.420><c> frameeth</c><00:27:24.019><c> deceit.</c>

00:27:24.420 --> 00:27:26.319
And<00:27:24.619><c> sometimes</c><00:27:24.900><c> we</c><00:27:25.099><c> hear</c><00:27:25.299><c> ourselves</c>

00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:29.000
saying<00:27:27.000><c> and</c><00:27:27.359><c> thinking</c><00:27:27.660><c> the</c><00:27:27.900><c> wrong</c><00:27:28.160><c> sort</c><00:27:28.380><c> of</c><00:27:28.559><c> thing.</c>

00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:32.359
We<00:27:29.859><c> marvel</c><00:27:30.759><c> at</c><00:27:30.940><c> how</c><00:27:31.200><c> stupid</c><00:27:31.700><c> some</c><00:27:31.900><c> of</c><00:27:32.000><c> the</c><00:27:32.119><c> things</c>

00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:34.700
that<00:27:32.900><c> we</c><00:27:33.019><c> do</c><00:27:33.180><c> and</c><00:27:33.400><c> say</c><00:27:33.539><c> and</c><00:27:33.720><c> think</c><00:27:33.940><c> are.</c>

00:27:34.779 --> 00:27:35.940
Thou<00:27:35.000><c> sittest,</c><00:27:35.500><c> verse</c><00:27:35.660><c> 20,</c>

00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:37.559
and<00:27:36.240><c> speakest</c><00:27:36.599><c> against</c><00:27:37.059><c> thy</c><00:27:37.319><c> brother.</c>

00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:41.559
The<00:27:37.960><c> very</c><00:27:38.220><c> thing</c><00:27:38.539><c> that</c><00:27:39.579><c> Brother</c><00:27:40.619><c> Duncan</c><00:27:40.940><c> was</c><00:27:41.160><c> talking</c><00:27:41.400><c> about.</c>

00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:44.019
Thou<00:27:41.900><c> slanderest</c><00:27:42.880><c> thy</c><00:27:43.119><c> known</c><00:27:43.339><c> mother's</c><00:27:43.920><c> son.</c>

00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:47.400
These<00:27:44.480><c> things,</c><00:27:45.619><c> verse</c><00:27:45.839><c> 21,</c><00:27:46.740><c> this</c><00:27:46.859><c> is</c><00:27:47.039><c> the</c><00:27:47.160><c> verse,</c>

00:27:47.700 --> 00:27:50.619
these<00:27:48.119><c> things</c><00:27:48.980><c> hast</c><00:27:49.460><c> thou</c><00:27:49.680><c> done,</c>

00:27:50.700 --> 00:27:54.119
and<00:27:51.019><c> I</c><00:27:52.019><c> kept</c><00:27:52.500><c> silence.</c>

00:27:55.059 --> 00:27:59.839
Thou<00:27:55.839><c> thoughtest</c><00:27:56.619><c> that</c><00:27:57.200><c> I</c><00:27:58.119><c> was</c><00:27:58.619><c> altogether</c>

00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:03.539
such<00:28:00.660><c> in</c><00:28:00.960><c> one</c><00:28:01.460><c> as</c><00:28:02.099><c> thyself.</c>

00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:05.119
But<00:28:03.759><c> I</c><00:28:03.980><c> will</c><00:28:04.200><c> reprove</c><00:28:04.559><c> thee</c>

00:28:05.119 --> 00:28:08.180
and<00:28:05.640><c> set</c><00:28:05.880><c> them</c><00:28:06.119><c> in</c><00:28:06.279><c> order</c><00:28:06.440><c> before</c><00:28:06.799><c> thine</c><00:28:07.039><c> eyes.</c>

00:28:13.240 --> 00:28:16.700
Now,<00:28:14.880><c> by</c><00:28:15.099><c> making</c><00:28:15.519><c> excuses</c><00:28:15.960><c> for</c><00:28:16.220><c> ourselves</c>

00:28:16.700 --> 00:28:19.039
and<00:28:16.920><c> our</c><00:28:17.200><c> indulgences</c><00:28:18.039><c> against</c><00:28:18.599><c> the</c><00:28:18.740><c> Lord</c><00:28:18.880><c> God,</c>

00:28:19.099 --> 00:28:20.980
we<00:28:19.259><c> can</c><00:28:19.539><c> diminish</c><00:28:20.160><c> the</c><00:28:20.660><c> Lord</c><00:28:20.819><c> God.</c>

00:28:20.980 --> 00:28:24.900
Thou<00:28:21.299><c> thoughtest</c><00:28:21.640><c> that</c><00:28:21.759><c> I</c><00:28:21.980><c> was</c><00:28:22.519><c> merely</c><00:28:22.920><c> just</c><00:28:23.259><c> like</c><00:28:23.539><c> yourself.</c>

00:28:25.579 --> 00:28:26.680
I'm<00:28:25.839><c> not</c><00:28:26.000><c> like</c><00:28:26.259><c> that.</c>

00:28:27.019 --> 00:28:29.160
And<00:28:27.240><c> we</c><00:28:27.339><c> must</c><00:28:27.480><c> never</c><00:28:27.859><c> cheapen</c><00:28:28.519><c> or</c><00:28:28.680><c> reduce</c>

00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:32.640
the<00:28:29.500><c> supremacy</c><00:28:29.940><c> of</c><00:28:30.700><c> God</c><00:28:31.000><c> in</c><00:28:31.539><c> our</c><00:28:31.740><c> minds.</c>

00:28:32.660 --> 00:28:37.920
So,<00:28:33.400><c> no</c><00:28:33.720><c> proper</c><00:28:34.359><c> talk</c><00:28:34.640><c> on</c><00:28:35.640><c> the</c><00:28:36.960><c> moral</c><00:28:37.200><c> imperative</c>

00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.339
and<00:28:38.519><c> God</c><00:28:38.720><c> manifestation</c><00:28:39.500><c> could</c><00:28:40.539><c> miss</c><00:28:40.940><c> out</c>

00:28:41.339 --> 00:28:45.680
on<00:28:41.740><c> Exodus</c><00:28:42.180><c> 33</c><00:28:43.240><c> and</c><00:28:44.339><c> 34.</c>

00:28:46.599 --> 00:28:49.460
We<00:28:46.599><c> call</c><00:28:47.039><c> the</c><00:28:47.279><c> occasion</c><00:28:47.779><c> when</c><00:28:48.980><c> Moses</c>

00:28:49.460 --> 00:28:52.220
was<00:28:49.859><c> right</c><00:28:50.539><c> at</c><00:28:50.740><c> the</c><00:28:50.920><c> crossroads</c>

00:28:52.460 --> 00:28:55.079
with<00:28:52.839><c> the</c><00:28:53.019><c> people</c><00:28:53.440><c> of</c><00:28:53.960><c> Israel.</c>

00:28:57.440 --> 00:28:59.779
And<00:28:57.779><c> the</c><00:28:57.920><c> Lord</c><00:28:58.079><c> God</c><00:28:58.279><c> said</c><00:28:58.500><c> that</c><00:28:58.660><c> he</c><00:28:58.799><c> wouldn't</c><00:28:59.079><c> go</c><00:28:59.339><c> up</c>

00:28:59.779 --> 00:29:02.000
with<00:29:00.400><c> the</c><00:29:00.700><c> people</c>

We<00:32:04.259><c> contemplate</c><00:32:05.339><c> His</c><00:32:05.640><c> knowledge</c><00:32:06.240><c> as</c><00:32:06.640><c> He</c><00:32:06.759><c> does</c><00:32:06.920><c> whatever</c><00:32:07.240><c> He</c>

00:32:07.380 --> 00:32:08.400

00:32:08.619 --> 00:32:11.519
Thou<00:32:08.799><c> knowest</c><00:32:09.140><c> my</c><00:32:09.380><c> down</c><00:32:09.700><c>-sitting</c><00:32:09.960><c> and</c><00:32:10.180><c> my</c><00:32:10.339><c> up</c><00:32:10.579><c>-rising.</c>

00:32:12.220 --> 00:32:14.920
There<00:32:12.640><c> is</c><00:32:12.839><c> not</c><00:32:13.039><c> a</c><00:32:13.160><c> word</c><00:32:13.359><c> in</c><00:32:13.539><c> my</c><00:32:13.839><c> tongue,</c><00:32:14.119><c> but,</c><00:32:14.319><c> lo</c><00:32:14.420><c> Lord,</c><00:32:14.799><c> thou</c>

00:32:16.259 --> 00:32:21.619
We<00:32:17.299><c> are</c><00:32:17.980><c> naked</c><00:32:18.440><c> and</c><00:32:18.720><c> laid</c><00:32:18.880><c> open</c><00:32:19.619><c> with</c><00:32:20.039><c> Him</c><00:32:20.519><c> with</c><00:32:21.000><c> whom</c><00:32:21.180><c> we</c><00:32:21.339><c> have</c>

to<00:32:21.799><c> do.</c>

00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:27.240
This<00:32:23.039><c> is</c><00:32:23.279><c> the</c><00:32:23.599><c> vastness</c><00:32:24.799><c> of</c><00:32:25.759><c> the</c><00:32:26.119><c> Lord</c><00:32:26.339><c> God,</c>

00:32:28.279 --> 00:32:32.000

00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:44.799
This<00:32:41.880><c> is</c><00:32:42.039><c> the</c><00:32:42.140><c> Lord</c><00:32:42.319><c> God</c><00:32:42.960><c> who</c><00:32:43.460><c> is</c><00:32:43.660><c> the</c><00:32:43.880><c> only</c><00:32:44.180><c> immortal</c><00:32:44.559><c> God</c>

00:32:49.799 --> 00:32:52.980
And<00:32:50.019><c> we</c><00:32:50.180><c> should</c><00:32:50.500><c> feel</c><00:32:51.099><c> a</c><00:32:51.480><c> sense</c><00:32:51.799><c> of</c><00:32:52.240><c> awe.</c>

00:32:56.400 --> 00:32:59.660
It's<00:32:56.680><c> all</c><00:32:56.940><c> too</c><00:32:57.160><c> easy</c><00:32:57.420><c> to</c><00:32:57.700><c> expect</c><00:32:58.119><c> to</c><00:32:58.660><c> turn</c><00:32:58.819><c> on</c><00:32:59.039><c> a</c><00:32:59.180><c> quick</c><00:32:59.359><c> sense</c>

00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:05.400
and<00:33:01.119><c> I</c><00:33:01.279><c> don't</c><00:33:01.579><c> think</c><00:33:01.759><c> that</c><00:33:02.079><c> comes</c><00:33:02.779><c> without</c><00:33:03.779><c> considerable</c><00:33:04.500><c> meditation</c>

00:33:05.400 --> 00:33:11.539

our<00:33:12.000><c> God.</c>

But<00:33:13.299><c> it</c><00:33:13.460><c> is</c><00:33:13.720><c> a</c><00:33:14.019><c> skill</c><00:33:14.319><c> and</c><00:33:15.299><c> it</c><00:33:15.400><c> is</c><00:33:15.680><c> a</c><00:33:15.839><c> pastime</c><00:33:16.319><c> and</c><00:33:16.460><c> an</c><00:33:16.740><c> activity</c>

00:33:17.119 --> 00:33:19.420
that<00:33:17.680><c> we</c><00:33:17.940><c> ought</c><00:33:18.099><c> to</c><00:33:18.420><c> cultivate.</c>

00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:22.799
I<00:33:19.920><c> know,</c><00:33:20.279><c> for</c><00:33:20.599><c> example,</c><00:33:21.579><c> when</c><00:33:21.740><c> I've</c><00:33:21.940><c> been</c><00:33:22.039><c> in</c><00:33:22.220><c> the</c><00:33:22.440><c> Caribbean</c>

00:33:22.799 --> 00:33:26.279
that<00:33:23.660><c> I</c><00:33:23.839><c> was</c><00:33:24.599><c> quite</c><00:33:24.940><c> surprised</c><00:33:25.339><c> to</c><00:33:25.539><c> wake</c><00:33:25.680><c> up</c><00:33:25.819><c> one</c><00:33:26.039><c> morning.</c>

00:33:26.440 --> 00:33:30.180
I<00:33:26.440><c> was</c><00:33:26.619><c> staying</c><00:33:26.779><c> with</c><00:33:27.200><c> an</c><00:33:27.660><c> elderly</c><00:33:27.960><c> sister</c><00:33:28.579><c> who</c><00:33:29.819><c> was</c><00:33:29.980><c> looking</c>

00:33:30.180 --> 00:33:31.000
after<00:33:30.460><c> me,</c>

00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:34.200
and<00:33:31.359><c> I</c><00:33:31.480><c> woke</c><00:33:31.700><c> up</c><00:33:31.920><c> and</c><00:33:32.039><c> there</c><00:33:32.180><c> was</c><00:33:32.299><c> a</c><00:33:32.400><c> very</c><00:33:32.720><c> strange</c><00:33:33.119><c> wailing</c><00:33:33.660><c> sound,</c>

00:33:34.519 --> 00:33:36.559
and<00:33:34.799><c> I</c><00:33:34.960><c> thought,</c><00:33:35.299><c> well,</c><00:33:35.339><c> I</c><00:33:35.359><c> couldn't</c><00:33:35.839><c> actually</c><00:33:36.200><c> make</c><00:33:36.420><c> out</c>

00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:38.160
whether<00:33:36.700><c> it</c><00:33:36.799><c> was</c><00:33:36.940><c> a</c><00:33:37.119><c> dog</c><00:33:37.279><c> or</c><00:33:37.440><c> whether</c><00:33:37.539><c> it</c><00:33:37.619><c> was</c><00:33:37.640><c> something</c><00:33:37.799><c> else.</c>

00:33:38.160 --> 00:33:41.579
Actually,<00:33:39.460><c> it</c><00:33:39.460><c> was</c><00:33:40.640><c> the</c><00:33:41.059><c> sister.</c>

00:33:41.900 --> 00:33:44.720
I<00:33:42.160><c> don't</c><00:33:42.480><c> mean</c><00:33:42.700><c> to</c><00:33:42.799><c> be</c><00:33:43.119><c> critical</c><00:33:43.660><c> of</c><00:33:44.019><c> her</c><00:33:44.259><c> singing,</c>

00:33:45.099 --> 00:33:47.599
but<00:33:45.440><c> it</c><00:33:45.920><c> was</c><00:33:46.160><c> the</c><00:33:46.480><c> sister,</c>

00:33:47.819 --> 00:33:51.700
and<00:33:48.019><c> she</c><00:33:48.279><c> was</c><00:33:48.559><c> going</c><00:33:48.859><c> through</c><00:33:49.240><c> her</c><00:33:49.740><c> daily</c><00:33:50.140><c> devotions,</c>

00:33:51.940 --> 00:33:54.799
and<00:33:52.200><c> she</c><00:33:52.539><c> had</c><00:33:52.779><c> her</c><00:33:52.980><c> hymn</c><00:33:53.160><c> book</c><00:33:53.299><c> open</c><00:33:53.579><c> and</c><00:33:53.759><c> she</c><00:33:53.859><c> was</c><00:33:54.059><c> singing</c><00:33:54.240><c> to</c><00:33:54.480><c> herself.</c>

00:33:55.119 --> 00:33:59.460
And<00:33:55.279><c> then</c><00:33:55.400><c> she</c><00:33:55.559><c> read</c><00:33:55.759><c> aloud</c><00:33:56.140><c> every</c><00:33:56.599><c> day</c><00:33:57.619><c> her</c><00:33:58.980><c> readings</c>

00:33:59.460 --> 00:34:02.359
and<00:34:00.420><c> talked</c><00:34:00.839><c> to</c><00:34:01.119><c> herself</c><00:34:01.480><c> about</c><00:34:01.900><c> them.</c>

00:34:02.819 --> 00:34:06.660
And<00:34:02.960><c> you</c><00:34:03.059><c> know,</c><00:34:03.279><c> I</c><00:34:03.500><c> was</c><00:34:03.799><c> humbled</c><00:34:04.380><c> by</c><00:34:04.799><c> that</c><00:34:05.660><c> experience,</c>

00:34:06.660 --> 00:34:09.800
and<00:34:07.440><c> I</c><00:34:07.599><c> felt</c><00:34:07.859><c> as</c><00:34:08.099><c> though</c><00:34:08.199><c> I'd</c><00:34:08.619><c> intruded</c><00:34:08.980><c> very</c><00:34:09.280><c> much</c>

00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:13.539
on<00:34:10.199><c> the</c><00:34:10.460><c> privacy</c><00:34:11.000><c> of</c><00:34:12.239><c> her</c><00:34:13.000><c> devotions</c>

00:34:13.539 --> 00:34:18.239
when<00:34:13.760><c> I</c><00:34:14.980><c> rather</c><00:34:15.320><c> clumsily</c><00:34:16.099><c> burst</c><00:34:16.460><c> into</c><00:34:17.079><c> the</c><00:34:17.380><c> room.</c>

00:34:18.420 --> 00:34:20.519
And<00:34:18.559><c> she</c><00:34:18.739><c> quietly</c><00:34:19.139><c> sat</c><00:34:19.360><c> me</c><00:34:19.559><c> down</c><00:34:19.800><c> and</c><00:34:20.059><c> continued</c>

00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:23.380
going<00:34:21.159><c> through</c><00:34:21.360><c> her</c><00:34:21.579><c> devotions</c><00:34:22.000><c> in</c><00:34:22.159><c> her</c><00:34:22.300><c> own</c><00:34:22.519><c> way.</c>

00:34:23.699 --> 00:34:25.840
That<00:34:23.940><c> taught</c><00:34:24.139><c> me</c><00:34:24.340><c> a</c><00:34:24.659><c> very</c><00:34:24.960><c> great</c><00:34:25.159><c> lesson,</c>

00:34:26.219 --> 00:34:30.900

And<00:34:31.179><c> so</c><00:34:31.320><c> it</c><00:34:31.480><c> is</c><00:34:32.280><c> that</c><00:34:33.320><c> we</c><00:34:34.840><c> are</c><00:34:35.079><c> called</c><00:34:35.239><c> upon</c>

00:37:36.559 --> 00:37:38.619
Who<00:37:36.800><c> hath</c><00:37:37.099><c> known</c><00:37:37.579><c> the</c><00:37:37.780><c> mind</c><00:37:38.000><c> of</c><00:37:38.159><c> the</c><00:37:38.300><c> Lord,</c>

00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:47.739
For<00:37:46.039><c> of</c><00:37:46.480><c> him,</c><00:37:46.780><c> and</c><00:37:47.079><c> through</c><00:37:47.320><c> him,</c>

00:37:53.820 --> 00:37:56.820
And<00:37:54.460><c> it</c><00:37:54.579><c> just</c><00:37:55.019><c> pops</c><00:37:55.219><c> out</c><00:37:55.559><c> like</c><00:37:55.900><c> that</c>

00:37:56.820 --> 00:37:58.699

00:37:58.699 --> 00:38:01.199
of<00:37:59.019><c> the</c><00:37:59.199><c> presence</c><00:37:59.519><c> of</c><00:37:59.780><c> God</c><00:38:00.019><c> in</c><00:38:00.519><c> what</c><00:38:00.679><c> he</c><00:38:00.780><c> was</c><00:38:00.920><c> doing.</c>

00:38:01.579 --> 00:38:05.739

00:38:09.179 --> 00:38:11.519
And<00:38:09.320><c> he</c><00:38:09.360><c> just</c><00:38:09.900><c> has</c><00:38:10.300><c> to</c><00:38:10.539><c> throw</c><00:38:10.659><c> it</c><00:38:10.860><c> in</c>

00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:13.800
as<00:38:11.840><c> he's</c><00:38:12.079><c> overtaken</c><00:38:12.500><c> by</c><00:38:12.719><c> the</c><00:38:12.940><c> thought</c>

00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:19.239
of<00:38:14.320><c> knowing</c><00:38:14.840><c> the</c><00:38:15.739><c> great</c><00:38:16.099><c> God</c><00:38:16.559><c> of</c><00:38:17.300><c> all</c><00:38:17.840><c> the</c><00:38:18.260><c> universe,</c>

00:38:19.440 --> 00:38:22.079
who<00:38:19.559><c> has</c><00:38:19.940><c> stretched</c><00:38:20.199><c> out</c><00:38:21.199><c> the</c><00:38:21.639><c> heavens</c>

00:38:22.079 --> 00:38:23.860
like<00:38:22.460><c> a</c><00:38:23.059><c> span.</c>

00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:26.139
And<00:38:24.440><c> you'd</c><00:38:24.719><c> have</c><00:38:24.760><c> thought</c><00:38:24.940><c> that</c><00:38:25.119><c> if</c><00:38:25.280><c> that</c><00:38:25.599><c> kind</c><00:38:25.800><c> of</c><00:38:26.000><c> God</c>

00:38:26.139 --> 00:38:27.579
came<00:38:26.400><c> and</c><00:38:26.619><c> lived</c><00:38:26.739><c> in</c><00:38:26.920><c> your</c><00:38:27.159><c> house,</c>

00:38:27.820 --> 00:38:30.280
people<00:38:28.119><c> would</c><00:38:28.340><c> know</c><00:38:28.579><c> about</c><00:38:28.920><c> it,</c><00:38:29.159><c> wouldn't</c><00:38:29.300><c> they?</c>

00:38:31.139 --> 00:38:33.920
Anyway,<00:38:32.340><c> it's</c><00:38:32.559><c> knowing</c><00:38:32.880><c> the</c><00:38:33.119><c> quality</c><00:38:33.440><c> of</c><00:38:33.679><c> God</c>

00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:38.780
in<00:38:34.300><c> that</c><00:38:34.480><c> way</c><00:38:34.659><c> that</c><00:38:34.900><c> brings</c><00:38:35.079><c> us</c><00:38:35.420><c> to</c><00:38:36.000><c> Ephesians</c><00:38:36.539><c> 5</c><00:38:37.400><c> now.</c>

00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:42.599
Because<00:38:39.179><c> we've</c><00:38:39.420><c> been</c><00:38:39.619><c> saying</c><00:38:40.039><c> all</c><00:38:41.219><c> the</c><00:38:41.340><c> way</c><00:38:41.480><c> through</c>

00:38:42.820 --> 00:38:44.639
that<00:38:43.340><c> this</c><00:38:43.579><c> is</c><00:38:43.800><c> the</c><00:38:43.920><c> fundamental</c><00:38:44.360><c> issue</c>

00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:46.380
with<00:38:44.860><c> regard</c><00:38:45.199><c> to</c><00:38:45.440><c> morality.</c>

00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:49.739
We<00:38:46.880><c> must</c><00:38:47.440><c> know,</c><00:38:48.420><c> not</c><00:38:48.659><c> merely</c><00:38:48.880><c> know</c><00:38:49.139><c> about</c><00:38:49.440><c> God,</c>

00:38:49.739 --> 00:38:51.659
we<00:38:50.239><c> must</c><00:38:50.519><c> understand</c><00:38:51.179><c> him.</c>

00:38:51.780 --> 00:38:55.980
And<00:38:51.980><c> it</c><00:38:52.179><c> says</c><00:38:52.360><c> here</c><00:38:52.920><c> in</c><00:38:53.679><c> chapter</c><00:38:54.139><c> 5</c><00:38:54.460><c> and</c><00:38:54.659><c> verse</c><00:38:54.900><c> 1,</c>

00:39:00.420 --> 00:39:04.159
or<00:39:01.420><c> mimics</c><00:39:02.380><c> of</c><00:39:02.920><c> God.</c>

00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:06.900
We've<00:39:05.119><c> just</c><00:39:05.239><c> been</c><00:39:05.440><c> reading</c><00:39:05.860><c> in</c><00:39:06.079><c> Romans</c><00:39:06.360><c> 11</c>

00:39:06.900 --> 00:39:08.579
that<00:39:07.260><c> his</c><00:39:07.460><c> ways</c><00:39:07.679><c> are</c><00:39:07.940><c> unsearchable</c>

00:39:08.579 --> 00:39:11.019
and<00:39:08.860><c> past</c><00:39:09.139><c> finding</c><00:39:09.460><c> out</c><00:39:09.900><c> who</c><00:39:10.300><c> can</c><00:39:10.599><c> know</c><00:39:10.840><c> him,</c>

00:39:11.019 --> 00:39:12.340
who<00:39:11.159><c> can</c><00:39:11.460><c> counsel</c><00:39:11.820><c> him.</c>

00:39:12.739 --> 00:39:15.239
And<00:39:13.000><c> yet</c><00:39:13.139><c> we're</c><00:39:13.579><c> called</c><00:39:13.840><c> upon</c><00:39:14.300><c> here.</c>

00:39:15.800 --> 00:39:18.139
This<00:39:15.980><c> is</c><00:39:16.199><c> non</c><00:39:16.420><c>-negotiable,</c><00:39:17.579><c> brethren</c><00:39:17.760><c> and</c><00:39:18.000><c> sisters.</c>

00:39:18.139 --> 00:39:19.679
This<00:39:18.320><c> is</c><00:39:18.519><c> the</c><00:39:18.699><c> point,</c><00:39:19.239><c> isn't</c><00:39:19.460><c> it?</c>

00:39:20.039 --> 00:39:22.099
If<00:39:20.239><c> we</c><00:39:20.559><c> have</c><00:39:21.000><c> the</c><00:39:21.320><c> knowledge</c><00:39:21.579><c> of</c><00:39:21.800><c> God,</c>

then<00:39:29.059><c> we</c><00:39:29.300><c> are</c><00:39:29.559><c> responsible.</c>

00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:33.559
Some<00:39:31.800><c> of</c><00:39:32.000><c> you</c><00:39:32.619><c> will</c><00:39:32.960><c> not</c><00:39:33.219><c> perhaps</c>

00:39:52.780 --> 00:39:55.340
It<00:39:52.960><c> says,</c><00:39:53.639><c> be</c><00:39:53.639><c> ye</c><00:39:53.880><c> therefore</c><00:39:54.440><c> mimics</c>

00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:01.639
Isn't<00:40:01.159><c> that</c><00:40:01.340><c> lovely?</c>

00:40:01.719 --> 00:40:04.079
It<00:40:01.880><c> brings</c><00:40:01.980><c> it</c><00:40:02.239><c> back</c><00:40:02.400><c> to</c><00:40:02.639><c> our</c><00:40:02.860><c> level</c><00:40:03.079><c> again.</c>
