00:02:33.620 --> 00:02:37.219

00:05:30.139 --> 00:05:33.420
And<00:05:30.139><c> so</c><00:05:30.519><c> we</c><00:05:30.720><c> have</c><00:05:30.899><c> been</c><00:05:31.139><c> called</c><00:05:31.519><c> then</c><00:05:31.879><c> to</c><00:05:32.259><c> try</c><00:05:32.699><c> to</c><00:05:32.939><c> model</c><00:05:33.160><c> this.</c>

00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.079
This<00:05:33.639><c> is</c><00:05:33.920><c> our</c><00:05:34.339><c> practice</c><00:05:34.720><c> time</c><00:05:35.000><c> in</c><00:05:35.180><c> our</c><00:05:35.379><c> homes</c><00:05:35.699><c> of</c><00:05:36.279><c> learning</c><00:05:36.560><c> how</c><00:05:36.839><c> to</c>

00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.759
And<00:05:40.100><c> it</c><00:05:40.300><c> really</c><00:05:40.500><c> it</c><00:05:40.860><c> tells</c><00:05:41.060><c> us</c><00:05:41.399><c> that</c><00:05:41.579><c> when</c><00:05:41.699><c> you</c><00:05:41.879><c> go</c><00:05:42.079><c> home,</c><00:05:42.560><c> this</c>

00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:07.000
It's<00:06:04.560><c> not</c><00:06:04.699><c> a</c><00:06:04.860><c> case</c><00:06:05.079><c> of</c><00:06:05.180><c> when</c><00:06:05.279><c> you</c><00:06:05.439><c> come</c><00:06:05.600><c> into</c><00:06:05.779><c> this</c><00:06:06.019><c> with</c><00:06:06.199><c> a</c><00:06:06.399><c> partnership</c><00:06:06.759><c> and</c>

00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:16.480
God<00:06:12.259><c> lays</c><00:06:12.759><c> on</c><00:06:13.160><c> us,</c><00:06:13.819><c> brethren,</c><00:06:14.500><c> the</c><00:06:14.939><c> greatest</c><00:06:15.560><c> responsibility</c>

of<00:06:16.899><c> maintaining</c><00:06:17.560><c> that</c><00:06:17.920><c> marriage.</c>

00:06:18.899 --> 00:06:22.600
It<00:06:18.920><c> is</c><00:06:19.199><c> our</c><00:06:19.459><c> responsibility</c><00:06:20.160><c> to</c><00:06:20.399><c> do</c><00:06:20.660><c> everything</c><00:06:21.180><c> we</c><00:06:21.579><c> can</c><00:06:21.920><c> of</c>

00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:28.220
And<00:06:26.779><c> it</c><00:06:26.860><c> really</c><00:06:27.220><c> isn't</c><00:06:27.560><c> an</c><00:06:27.740><c> equal</c><00:06:27.920><c> thing.</c>

00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.740
We<00:06:28.579><c> can't</c><00:06:28.980><c> do</c><00:06:29.300><c> what</c><00:06:29.519><c> Christ</c><00:06:29.800><c> has</c><00:06:30.000><c> done</c><00:06:30.160><c> for</c><00:06:30.339><c> us.</c>

00:06:31.100 --> 00:06:34.139
And<00:06:31.379><c> really,</c><00:06:31.600><c> that's</c><00:06:31.980><c> the</c><00:06:32.259><c> model</c><00:06:32.560><c> that</c><00:06:32.759><c> we</c><00:06:32.920><c> are</c><00:06:33.120><c> out</c><00:06:33.360><c> to</c><00:06:33.660><c> represent.</c>

00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:37.680
We<00:06:34.379><c> are</c><00:06:34.560><c> supposed</c><00:06:34.839><c> to</c><00:06:35.120><c> show</c><00:06:35.300><c> that</c><00:06:35.920><c> with</c><00:06:36.180><c> our</c><00:06:36.980><c> wives</c><00:06:37.279><c> and</c><00:06:37.439><c> also</c>

with<00:06:37.839><c> our</c><00:06:38.079><c> kids.</c>

00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:40.720
He's<00:06:39.040><c> hoping</c><00:06:39.339><c> that</c><00:06:39.540><c> our</c><00:06:39.720><c> children</c><00:06:40.060><c> will</c><00:06:40.240><c> see</c><00:06:40.459><c> that.</c>

00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:42.600
That<00:06:41.100><c> dad</c><00:06:41.319><c> goes</c><00:06:41.639><c> the</c><00:06:41.819><c> extra</c><00:06:42.160><c> mile.</c>

00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:46.480
Dad<00:06:43.019><c> goes</c><00:06:43.420><c> beyond</c><00:06:43.939><c> what</c><00:06:44.160><c> was</c><00:06:44.420><c> even</c><00:06:44.620><c> expected</c><00:06:45.160><c> because</c><00:06:45.959><c> you're</c>

00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:48.560
trying<00:06:46.720><c> to</c><00:06:46.920><c> mimic</c><00:06:47.160><c> what</c><00:06:47.459><c> Christ</c><00:06:47.699><c> has</c><00:06:47.920><c> done</c><00:06:48.040><c> for</c><00:06:48.240><c> us.</c>

00:06:49.060 --> 00:06:52.060
So<00:06:49.180><c> that's</c><00:06:49.540><c> really</c><00:06:50.439><c> the</c><00:06:50.579><c> way</c><00:06:50.639><c> Paul</c><00:06:50.920><c> uses</c><00:06:51.279><c> the</c><00:06:51.560><c> concept</c><00:06:51.879><c> there</c>

00:06:52.060 --> 00:06:54.379
when<00:06:52.139><c> he</c><00:06:52.300><c> brings</c><00:06:52.480><c> that</c><00:06:52.680><c> up</c><00:06:52.839><c> in</c><00:06:53.019><c> Ephesians</c><00:06:53.399><c> 5.</c>

00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:55.959
You<00:06:54.660><c> can</c><00:06:54.860><c> see</c><00:06:55.019><c> it</c><00:06:55.199><c> in</c><00:06:55.259><c> Romans</c><00:06:55.519><c> 5.</c>

00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:58.959
Again,<00:06:56.439><c> you</c><00:06:56.540><c> know</c><00:06:56.699><c> the</c><00:06:56.920><c> passages</c><00:06:57.279><c> that</c><00:06:57.920><c> the</c><00:06:58.139><c> model</c><00:06:58.420><c> is</c><00:06:58.699><c> based</c>

00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:06.079
If<00:07:03.779><c> you</c><00:07:04.019><c> think</c><00:07:04.180><c> you</c><00:07:04.459><c> were</c><00:07:04.639><c> worth</c><00:07:04.920><c> saving,</c><00:07:05.300><c> I</c><00:07:05.459><c> don't</c><00:07:05.680><c> think</c><00:07:05.839><c> any</c>

00:07:07.860 --> 00:07:09.160
And<00:07:08.160><c> we</c><00:07:08.279><c> don't</c><00:07:08.519><c> understand</c><00:07:09.000><c> it.</c>

00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:12.279
If<00:07:09.399><c> we</c><00:07:09.620><c> really</c><00:07:09.980><c> think</c><00:07:10.100><c> as</c><00:07:10.339><c> a</c><00:07:10.480><c> person</c><00:07:10.759><c> that</c><00:07:10.959><c> we</c><00:07:11.279><c> were</c><00:07:11.500><c> worth</c><00:07:11.680><c> saving</c><00:07:12.060><c> and</c>

00:07:12.279 --> 00:07:14.699

00:07:21.779 --> 00:07:24.439
And<00:07:21.939><c> it's</c><00:07:22.079><c> all</c><00:07:22.300><c> based</c><00:07:22.579><c> on</c><00:07:22.819><c> the</c><00:07:22.980><c> fact</c><00:07:23.139><c> that</c><00:07:23.319><c> at</c><00:07:23.480><c> the</c><00:07:23.639><c> right</c><00:07:23.899><c> time,</c><00:07:24.180><c> Paul</c>

00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:30.360
That's<00:07:30.040><c> us.</c>

00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:31.980
We're<00:07:31.079><c> in</c><00:07:31.259><c> this</c><00:07:31.500><c> category.</c>

00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.800
Paul<00:07:32.379><c> calls</c><00:07:32.680><c> us</c><00:07:32.920><c> powerless,</c><00:07:34.240><c> ungodly.</c>

00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:37.040
And<00:07:34.920><c> he</c><00:07:35.079><c> says,</c><00:07:35.319><c> well,</c><00:07:35.560><c> look,</c><00:07:35.860><c> very</c><00:07:36.100><c> rarely</c><00:07:36.360><c> anyone</c><00:07:36.660><c> will</c><00:07:36.860><c> die</c>

00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:39.240
for<00:07:37.259><c> a</c><00:07:37.399><c> righteous</c><00:07:37.660><c> man,</c><00:07:38.019><c> though</c><00:07:38.180><c> for</c><00:07:38.379><c> a</c><00:07:38.540><c> good</c><00:07:38.699><c> man,</c><00:07:39.000><c> someone</c>

00:07:41.259 --> 00:07:44.279
But<00:07:41.459><c> God</c><00:07:41.800><c> demonstrates</c><00:07:42.420><c> his</c><00:07:42.680><c> love</c><00:07:42.879><c> for</c><00:07:43.120><c> us</c><00:07:43.699><c> and</c><00:07:43.980><c> that</c><00:07:44.180><c> while</c>

00:07:44.279 --> 00:07:46.819

00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:48.199
And<00:07:46.980><c> it</c><00:07:47.100><c> wasn't</c><00:07:47.360><c> a</c><00:07:47.579><c> daring</c><00:07:47.839><c> death.</c>

00:07:48.540 --> 00:07:52.259
God<00:07:48.860><c> calculated</c><00:07:49.560><c> for</c><00:07:50.000><c> 6</c><00:07:50.500><c>,000</c><00:07:51.060><c> years</c><00:07:51.480><c> he</c><00:07:51.660><c> was</c><00:07:51.879><c> going</c><00:07:52.019><c> to</c><00:07:52.180><c> give</c>

00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:56.939
And<00:07:53.899><c> it</c><00:07:54.019><c> was</c><00:07:54.180><c> while</c><00:07:54.360><c> we</c><00:07:54.540><c> were</c><00:07:54.740><c> sinners,</c><00:07:55.279><c> while</c><00:07:55.420><c> we</c><00:07:55.620><c> were</c><00:07:55.860><c> powerless,</c><00:07:56.720><c> while</c>

00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:00.720
And<00:07:58.720><c> the</c><00:07:58.920><c> key</c><00:07:59.160><c> is</c><00:07:59.519><c> we</c><00:07:59.740><c> don't</c><00:08:00.019><c> deserve</c><00:08:00.360><c> it.</c>

00:08:00.939 --> 00:08:02.560
You<00:08:01.139><c> can</c><00:08:01.500><c> never</c><00:08:01.839><c> earn</c><00:08:02.139><c> it.</c>

00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:04.420
It's<00:08:02.959><c> by</c><00:08:03.160><c> the</c><00:08:03.399><c> grace</c><00:08:03.779><c> of</c><00:08:03.939><c> God.</c>

00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:09.480
And<00:08:05.079><c> when</c><00:08:05.259><c> we</c><00:08:05.620><c> understand</c><00:08:06.240><c> that,</c><00:08:06.620><c> really</c><00:08:07.019><c> come</c><00:08:07.680><c> to</c><00:08:07.899><c> grips</c><00:08:08.060><c> with</c><00:08:08.319><c> that,</c><00:08:08.980><c> then</c><00:08:09.259><c> you</c>

from<00:08:13.160><c> us.</c>

00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.560
And<00:08:14.259><c> all</c><00:08:14.379><c> we're</c><00:08:14.600><c> doing</c><00:08:14.779><c> is</c><00:08:14.980><c> just</c><00:08:15.319><c> transferring</c><00:08:15.720><c> down</c><00:08:16.220><c> the</c><00:08:16.360><c> way</c>

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:17.740
God<00:08:16.879><c> treats</c><00:08:17.259><c> us.</c>

00:08:18.180 --> 00:08:21.300
He's<00:08:18.319><c> now</c><00:08:18.740><c> allowing</c><00:08:19.120><c> us</c><00:08:19.439><c> to</c><00:08:19.779><c> practice</c><00:08:20.160><c> that</c><00:08:20.500><c> in</c><00:08:20.699><c> our</c><00:08:20.899><c> families.</c>

00:08:21.699 --> 00:08:24.040
So<00:08:21.899><c> you</c><00:08:22.100><c> don't</c><00:08:22.319><c> expect</c><00:08:22.720><c> your</c><00:08:23.000><c> kids</c><00:08:23.220><c> to</c><00:08:23.540><c> deserve</c><00:08:23.800><c> it.</c>

00:08:24.060 --> 00:08:25.339

Our<00:08:25.720><c> spouses</c><00:08:26.139><c> don't</c><00:08:26.480><c> have</c><00:08:26.699><c> to.</c>

The<00:08:31.500><c> model</c><00:08:31.899><c> is</c><00:08:32.320><c> that</c><00:08:32.519><c> we</c><00:08:32.820><c> love</c><00:08:33.059><c> them</c><00:08:33.519><c> the</c><00:08:33.799><c> way</c><00:08:34.059><c> Christ</c><00:08:34.580><c> loved</c><00:08:35.019><c> us.</c>

00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:37.620
And<00:08:36.179><c> so</c><00:08:36.419><c> there</c><00:08:36.639><c> are</c><00:08:36.899><c> no</c><00:08:37.139><c> excuses.</c>

So<00:09:18.299><c> you</c><00:09:18.600><c> stay</c><00:09:18.860><c> focused</c><00:09:19.460><c> on</c><00:09:20.000><c> what</c><00:09:20.279><c> did</c><00:09:20.500><c> Christ</c><00:09:20.840><c> do</c><00:09:21.240><c> for</c><00:09:21.559><c> us?</c>

00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:23.799
He<00:09:22.399><c> gave</c><00:09:22.720><c> his</c><00:09:23.080><c> life</c><00:09:23.419><c> for</c><00:09:23.559><c> us.</c>

00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.039
He<00:09:24.000><c> did</c><00:09:24.200><c> everything</c><00:09:24.879><c> was</c><00:09:25.279><c> for</c><00:09:25.720><c> us.</c>

00:09:26.059 --> 00:09:27.440
That<00:09:26.279><c> is</c><00:09:26.539><c> the</c><00:09:26.679><c> way</c><00:09:26.799><c> it's</c><00:09:27.080><c> presented.</c>

00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:31.019
And<00:09:27.919><c> he</c><00:09:28.159><c> did</c><00:09:28.399><c> all</c><00:09:28.700><c> that</c><00:09:28.879><c> at</c><00:09:29.059><c> a</c><00:09:29.259><c> time</c><00:09:29.519><c> when</c><00:09:29.700><c> we</c><00:09:29.940><c> didn't</c><00:09:30.340><c> deserve</c><00:09:30.759><c> it.</c>

00:09:31.059 --> 00:09:32.419
We<00:09:31.299><c> could</c><00:09:31.600><c> never</c><00:09:31.899><c> earn</c><00:09:32.120><c> it.</c>

00:09:32.580 --> 00:09:34.360
But<00:09:32.759><c> that's</c><00:09:33.200><c> the</c><00:09:33.299><c> way</c><00:09:33.440><c> he</c><00:09:33.700><c> treats</c><00:09:33.940><c> us.</c>

00:09:34.399 --> 00:09:37.120
And<00:09:34.600><c> that's</c><00:09:34.899><c> the</c><00:09:34.980><c> way</c><00:09:35.120><c> we</c><00:09:35.320><c> want</c><00:09:35.440><c> to</c><00:09:35.519><c> go</c><00:09:35.679><c> home</c><00:09:35.980><c> and</c><00:09:36.259><c> treat</c><00:09:36.500><c> our</c><00:09:36.759><c> spouses.</c>

00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.100
And<00:09:37.700><c> the</c><00:09:37.860><c> amazing</c><00:09:38.200><c> thing</c><00:09:38.580><c> is</c><00:09:38.860><c> the</c><00:09:39.000><c> way</c><00:09:39.139><c> God</c><00:09:39.340><c> has</c><00:09:39.659><c> designed</c><00:09:39.940><c> it</c>

00:09:40.100 --> 00:09:43.019
because<00:09:40.299><c> he's</c><00:09:40.639><c> the</c><00:09:40.919><c> designer</c><00:09:41.279><c> is</c><00:09:41.820><c> that</c><00:09:41.960><c> he</c><00:09:42.200><c> realized</c><00:09:42.639><c> that</c><00:09:42.840><c> if</c>

00:09:43.019 --> 00:09:43.759
we<00:09:43.279><c> do</c><00:09:43.480><c> that,</c>

00:09:43.940 --> 00:09:47.259
if<00:09:44.080><c> you</c><00:09:44.519><c> go</c><00:09:44.840><c> home</c><00:09:45.120><c> and</c><00:09:45.379><c> really</c><00:09:45.620><c> put</c><00:09:45.799><c> that</c><00:09:45.980><c> into</c><00:09:46.220><c> practice,</c>

00:09:47.399 --> 00:09:49.000
your<00:09:47.559><c> wives</c><00:09:47.740><c> will</c><00:09:47.980><c> respond.</c>

00:09:49.100 --> 00:09:50.879
It's<00:09:49.500><c> not</c><00:09:49.639><c> a</c><00:09:49.779><c> case</c><00:09:49.960><c> of</c><00:09:50.159><c> where</c><00:09:50.360><c> you're</c><00:09:50.679><c> doing</c><00:09:50.700><c> it.</c>

00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:53.120
You're<00:09:51.120><c> waiting</c><00:09:51.340><c> for</c><00:09:51.679><c> them</c><00:09:52.120><c> to</c><00:09:52.600><c> to</c><00:09:52.860><c> earn.</c>

00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:56.120
Instead,<00:09:53.879><c> we</c><00:09:54.059><c> just</c><00:09:54.259><c> go</c><00:09:54.580><c> overboard</c><00:09:55.019><c> and</c><00:09:55.419><c> show</c><00:09:55.639><c> them</c><00:09:55.879><c> the</c><00:09:56.000><c> love</c>

00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:56.720
of<00:09:56.320><c> Christ.</c>

00:09:57.179 --> 00:10:00.700
And<00:09:57.220><c> what</c><00:09:57.360><c> they</c><00:09:57.580><c> will</c><00:09:57.799><c> do,</c><00:09:58.080><c> for</c><00:09:58.379><c> the</c><00:09:58.580><c> most</c><00:09:58.759><c> part,</c><00:09:59.059><c> is</c><00:09:59.200><c> most</c><00:09:59.480><c> women</c><00:09:59.759><c> will</c><00:10:00.000><c> respond</c><00:10:00.320><c> to</c><00:10:00.500><c> that.</c>

00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:01.299
And<00:10:00.919><c> they</c><00:10:01.120><c> will.</c>

00:10:01.299 --> 00:10:05.500
They'll<00:10:01.580><c> appreciate</c><00:10:02.000><c> the</c><00:10:02.220><c> fact</c><00:10:02.460><c> that</c><00:10:02.879><c> you're</c><00:10:03.100><c> willing</c><00:10:03.399><c> to</c><00:10:03.659><c> give</c><00:10:03.799><c> yourself</c><00:10:04.240><c> for</c><00:10:04.519><c> that</c><00:10:04.700><c> marriage</c><00:10:05.059><c> and</c><00:10:05.299><c> to</c>

00:10:05.500 --> 00:10:08.360
try<00:10:05.620><c> to</c><00:10:05.860><c> bring</c><00:10:05.980><c> it</c><00:10:06.179><c> to</c><00:10:07.000><c> really</c><00:10:07.419><c> a</c><00:10:07.720><c> positive</c><00:10:07.980><c> result.</c>

00:10:08.440 --> 00:10:09.100
So<00:10:08.700><c> we</c><00:10:08.860><c> do.</c>

00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:11.460
We<00:10:09.240><c> go</c><00:10:09.480><c> home</c><00:10:09.740><c> and</c><00:10:09.899><c> we</c><00:10:10.100><c> bring</c><00:10:10.259><c> Christ</c><00:10:10.500><c> into</c><00:10:10.740><c> our</c><00:10:10.960><c> marriages</c><00:10:11.220><c> and</c>

00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:13.820
we<00:10:11.659><c> try</c><00:10:11.820><c> to</c><00:10:12.019><c> give</c><00:10:12.139><c> ourselves</c><00:10:12.559><c> for</c><00:10:12.820><c> our</c><00:10:13.039><c> bride</c><00:10:13.220><c> in</c><00:10:13.399><c> every</c><00:10:13.580><c> way.</c>

00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:18.059
We<00:10:14.379><c> don't</c><00:10:14.620><c> want</c><00:10:14.840><c> to</c><00:10:15.080><c> wait</c><00:10:15.460><c> for</c><00:10:15.639><c> her</c><00:10:16.019><c> to</c><00:10:16.419><c> deserve</c><00:10:16.899><c> our</c><00:10:17.259><c> love.</c>

00:10:18.580 --> 00:10:20.320
She's<00:10:19.039><c> going</c><00:10:19.179><c> to</c><00:10:19.360><c> earn</c><00:10:19.659><c> our</c><00:10:20.039><c> love.</c>

00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:22.759
Instead,<00:10:20.980><c> we</c><00:10:21.200><c> just</c><00:10:21.700><c> set</c><00:10:21.860><c> out</c><00:10:22.179><c> to</c><00:10:22.460><c> save.</c>

00:10:23.159 --> 00:10:25.559
And<00:10:23.320><c> that's</c><00:10:23.799><c> the</c><00:10:23.980><c> perspective</c><00:10:24.419><c> that</c><00:10:24.639><c> God</c><00:10:24.820><c> has</c><00:10:25.000><c> always</c><00:10:25.320><c> had.</c>

00:10:25.899 --> 00:10:28.879
So<00:10:26.039><c> when</c><00:10:26.220><c> mistakes</c><00:10:26.639><c> are</c><00:10:26.919><c> made</c><00:10:27.139><c> and</c><00:10:27.279><c> things</c><00:10:27.539><c> go</c><00:10:27.799><c> bad,</c><00:10:28.259><c> you</c><00:10:28.620><c> use</c>

00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.700
those<00:10:29.100><c> as</c><00:10:29.299><c> an</c><00:10:29.379><c> opportunity</c><00:10:29.940><c> to</c><00:10:30.240><c> pour</c><00:10:30.460><c> out</c><00:10:30.639><c> more</c><00:10:30.820><c> grace.</c>

00:10:31.860 --> 00:10:33.340
It's<00:10:32.299><c> really</c><00:10:32.539><c> fun</c><00:10:32.779><c> to</c><00:10:33.039><c> watch</c><00:10:33.220><c> it.</c>

00:10:33.340 --> 00:10:34.720
That's<00:10:33.639><c> actually</c><00:10:33.899><c> what</c><00:10:34.120><c> James</c><00:10:34.399><c> says.</c>

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.720
There's<00:10:35.220><c> an</c><00:10:35.460><c> awkward</c><00:10:35.700><c> passage</c><00:10:36.080><c> in</c><00:10:36.279><c> James</c><00:10:36.620><c> chapter</c><00:10:36.960><c> four</c><00:10:37.480><c> when</c>

00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:40.279
he<00:10:37.860><c> talks</c><00:10:38.100><c> about</c><00:10:38.399><c> people</c><00:10:38.899><c> fighting</c><00:10:39.340><c> and</c><00:10:39.639><c> arguing</c><00:10:39.940><c> amongst</c>

00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:40.799
one<00:10:40.480><c> another.</c>

00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:43.919
And<00:10:41.519><c> he</c><00:10:41.620><c> goes</c><00:10:41.840><c> back</c><00:10:42.080><c> and</c><00:10:42.220><c> makes</c><00:10:42.379><c> an</c><00:10:42.620><c> analogy</c><00:10:43.019><c> to</c><00:10:43.279><c> the</c><00:10:43.360><c> case</c><00:10:43.679><c> of</c>

00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:45.700
when<00:10:44.539><c> you</c><00:10:44.679><c> would</c><00:10:44.879><c> bring</c><00:10:44.980><c> your</c><00:10:45.399><c> wife,</c>

00:10:45.700 --> 00:10:47.899
if<00:10:45.899><c> you</c><00:10:46.299><c> thought</c><00:10:46.519><c> maybe</c><00:10:46.779><c> she</c><00:10:46.940><c> committed</c><00:10:47.240><c> adultery</c><00:10:47.620><c> and</c><00:10:47.799><c> you</c>

00:10:47.899 --> 00:10:50.299
bring<00:10:48.059><c> her</c><00:10:48.519><c> and</c><00:10:48.720><c> she's</c><00:10:48.980><c> pregnant</c><00:10:49.259><c> and</c><00:10:49.419><c> she</c><00:10:49.700><c> has</c><00:10:49.820><c> to</c><00:10:50.019><c> drink</c><00:10:50.159><c> the</c>

00:10:50.299 --> 00:10:53.620
water<00:10:50.659><c> of</c><00:10:51.639><c> the</c><00:10:52.720><c> story</c><00:10:53.059><c> in</c><00:10:53.220><c> the</c><00:10:53.379><c> law.</c>

00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.600
But<00:10:54.299><c> he</c><00:10:54.559><c> says,</c><00:10:54.740><c> that's</c><00:10:55.059><c> what</c><00:10:55.279><c> we</c><00:10:55.460><c> do.</c>

00:10:55.700 --> 00:10:58.259
We<00:10:55.960><c> tend</c><00:10:56.240><c> to</c><00:10:56.460><c> be</c><00:10:56.779><c> judgmental</c><00:10:57.639><c> like</c><00:10:57.899><c> that.</c>

00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.759
But<00:10:58.820><c> he</c><00:10:58.960><c> goes</c><00:10:59.179><c> on</c><00:10:59.379><c> and</c><00:10:59.480><c> he</c><00:10:59.659><c> says,</c><00:11:00.019><c> but</c><00:11:00.120><c> God</c><00:11:00.500><c> pours</c><00:11:00.940><c> out</c><00:11:01.179><c> more</c><00:11:01.399><c> grace.</c>

00:11:02.120 --> 00:11:04.559
And<00:11:02.340><c> it's</c><00:11:02.539><c> like,</c><00:11:02.840><c> that's</c><00:11:03.240><c> the</c><00:11:03.399><c> perspective</c><00:11:03.879><c> God</c><00:11:04.159><c> has.</c>

00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:07.519
He<00:11:05.120><c> doesn't</c><00:11:05.460><c> hold</c><00:11:05.860><c> those</c><00:11:06.200><c> things</c><00:11:06.419><c> against</c><00:11:06.840><c> his</c><00:11:07.139><c> children.</c>

00:11:07.899 --> 00:11:09.899
When<00:11:07.980><c> they</c><00:11:08.379><c> come</c><00:11:08.580><c> to</c><00:11:08.759><c> him,</c><00:11:08.899><c> they</c><00:11:09.080><c> say</c><00:11:09.279><c> they're</c><00:11:09.600><c> sorry.</c>

00:11:10.220 --> 00:11:12.740
Instead,<00:11:10.720><c> he</c><00:11:11.100><c> pours</c><00:11:11.659><c> out</c><00:11:12.059><c> more</c><00:11:12.360><c> grace.</c>

00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:15.519
And<00:11:13.039><c> it's</c><00:11:13.320><c> really</c><00:11:13.460><c> that's</c><00:11:13.799><c> the</c><00:11:13.960><c> perspective</c><00:11:14.440><c> we</c><00:11:14.659><c> need</c><00:11:14.840><c> to</c><00:11:15.039><c> come</c><00:11:15.240><c> to.</c>

00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.919
So<00:11:16.100><c> we</c><00:11:16.340><c> recognize</c><00:11:16.779><c> that</c><00:11:16.980><c> God</c><00:11:17.200><c> is</c><00:11:17.539><c> involved</c><00:11:17.840><c> in</c><00:11:17.980><c> our</c><00:11:18.200><c> lives</c><00:11:18.500><c> and</c>

00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:21.240
he's<00:11:19.200><c> using</c><00:11:19.539><c> our</c><00:11:19.940><c> marriage</c><00:11:20.259><c> to</c><00:11:20.559><c> save</c><00:11:20.779><c> us.</c>

00:11:21.460 --> 00:11:25.659
And<00:11:21.759><c> so</c><00:11:21.980><c> whatever</c><00:11:22.399><c> happens</c><00:11:23.039><c> in</c><00:11:23.379><c> our</c><00:11:23.559><c> marriages,</c><00:11:24.200><c> whatever</c><00:11:24.519><c> happens</c><00:11:25.200><c> in</c>

00:11:25.659 --> 00:11:29.200
our<00:11:25.879><c> marriages,</c><00:11:26.519><c> we</c><00:11:26.960><c> trust</c><00:11:27.519><c> that</c><00:11:27.879><c> the</c><00:11:28.200><c> angels</c><00:11:28.519><c> are</c><00:11:28.820><c> there.</c>

00:11:29.539 --> 00:11:33.179
God<00:11:29.820><c> is</c><00:11:30.039><c> in</c><00:11:30.259><c> control</c><00:11:30.940><c> and</c><00:11:31.360><c> that</c><00:11:31.620><c> he's</c><00:11:31.980><c> using</c><00:11:32.399><c> that</c><00:11:32.820><c> marriage</c>

00:11:33.179 --> 00:11:36.679
to<00:11:33.580><c> develop</c><00:11:33.980><c> our</c><00:11:34.419><c> character</c><00:11:34.879><c> so</c><00:11:35.419><c> that</c><00:11:35.639><c> we</c><00:11:35.799><c> don't</c><00:11:35.980><c> become</c><00:11:36.279><c> angry.</c>

00:11:36.840 --> 00:11:38.940
We<00:11:37.120><c> don't</c><00:11:37.279><c> get</c><00:11:37.460><c> all</c><00:11:37.639><c> upset</c><00:11:38.039><c> at</c><00:11:38.340><c> situations.</c>

00:11:38.940 --> 00:11:43.320
Instead,<00:11:39.840><c> we</c><00:11:40.120><c> sort</c><00:11:40.320><c> of</c><00:11:40.580><c> step</c><00:11:40.759><c> back</c><00:11:41.299><c> and</c><00:11:41.620><c> we</c><00:11:41.759><c> look</c><00:11:41.860><c> at</c><00:11:42.000><c> the</c><00:11:42.139><c> bigger</c><00:11:42.299><c> picture</c><00:11:42.820><c> and</c>

00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:46.440
we<00:11:43.500><c> count</c><00:11:43.700><c> to</c><00:11:43.899><c> 10</c><00:11:44.200><c> and</c><00:11:44.379><c> we</c><00:11:44.659><c> realize,</c><00:11:45.039><c> well,</c><00:11:45.419><c> what</c><00:11:45.620><c> am</c><00:11:45.779><c> I</c><00:11:45.919><c> supposed</c><00:11:46.240><c> to</c>

00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:47.039
learn<00:11:46.559><c> from</c><00:11:46.779><c> this?</c>

00:11:47.440 --> 00:11:49.460
What<00:11:47.620><c> is</c><00:11:47.840><c> God</c><00:11:48.100><c> trying</c><00:11:48.419><c> to</c><00:11:48.720><c> teach</c><00:11:49.000><c> me?</c>

00:11:49.740 --> 00:11:52.940
And<00:11:49.980><c> if</c><00:11:50.200><c> we</c><00:11:50.519><c> respond</c><00:11:51.019><c> the</c><00:11:51.240><c> right</c><00:11:51.419><c> way</c><00:11:51.720><c> and</c><00:11:51.960><c> we</c><00:11:52.279><c> respond</c><00:11:52.700><c> with</c>

00:11:52.940 --> 00:11:53.799
the<00:11:53.080><c> love</c><00:11:53.179><c> of</c><00:11:53.399><c> God,</c>

00:11:54.200 --> 00:11:58.740
it's<00:11:54.559><c> amazing</c><00:11:54.960><c> how</c><00:11:55.360><c> often</c><00:11:55.720><c> those</c><00:11:56.120><c> problems</c><00:11:56.519><c> in</c><00:11:56.720><c> the</c><00:11:56.879><c> marriages</c><00:11:57.139><c> disappear</c><00:11:57.899><c> because</c>

00:11:58.740 --> 00:12:02.379
our<00:11:59.100><c> wives</c><00:11:59.320><c> appreciate</c><00:12:00.120><c> the</c><00:12:00.399><c> fact</c><00:12:00.580><c> that</c><00:12:00.759><c> we</c><00:12:01.019><c> responded</c><00:12:01.320><c> that</c><00:12:01.639><c> way.</c>

00:12:02.419 --> 00:12:05.440
So<00:12:02.659><c> you</c><00:12:02.799><c> can</c><00:12:03.059><c> see</c><00:12:03.200><c> this</c><00:12:03.419><c> is</c><00:12:03.720><c> what</c><00:12:04.120><c> Paul</c><00:12:04.480><c> is</c><00:12:04.659><c> really</c><00:12:04.940><c> after</c><00:12:05.279><c> when</c>

00:12:05.440 --> 00:12:06.580
he<00:12:05.620><c> writes</c><00:12:05.779><c> to</c><00:12:06.019><c> the</c><00:12:06.179><c> Colossians.</c>

00:12:06.580 --> 00:12:09.379
This<00:12:06.940><c> whole</c><00:12:07.220><c> section</c><00:12:07.600><c> in</c><00:12:07.879><c> Colossians</c><00:12:08.240><c> chapter</c><00:12:08.539><c> three,</c><00:12:09.279><c> when</c>

00:12:09.379 --> 00:12:12.779
he's<00:12:09.559><c> dealing</c><00:12:09.899><c> with</c><00:12:10.320><c> if</c><00:12:11.200><c> we</c><00:12:11.419><c> have</c><00:12:11.539><c> this</c><00:12:11.740><c> new</c><00:12:11.980><c> mind</c><00:12:12.240><c> in</c><00:12:12.480><c> Christ,</c>

00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:15.460
that<00:12:12.940><c> if</c><00:12:13.039><c> you've</c><00:12:13.200><c> been</c><00:12:13.379><c> raised</c><00:12:13.600><c> with</c><00:12:13.820><c> Christ,</c><00:12:14.580><c> seek</c><00:12:14.820><c> the</c><00:12:15.100><c> things</c><00:12:15.279><c> that</c>

00:12:15.460 --> 00:12:17.879
are<00:12:15.600><c> above</c><00:12:15.860><c> or</c><00:12:16.039><c> Christ</c><00:12:16.360><c> is</c><00:12:16.600><c> seated</c><00:12:16.840><c> at</c><00:12:17.019><c> the</c><00:12:17.159><c> right</c><00:12:17.299><c> hand</c><00:12:17.399><c> of</c><00:12:17.539><c> God.</c>

00:12:18.220 --> 00:12:20.399
You<00:12:18.360><c> set</c><00:12:18.440><c> your</c><00:12:18.700><c> mind</c><00:12:18.899><c> on</c><00:12:19.100><c> things</c><00:12:19.340><c> that</c><00:12:19.500><c> are</c><00:12:19.639><c> above,</c><00:12:19.960><c> not</c><00:12:20.159><c> on</c>

00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:21.200
things<00:12:20.580><c> that</c><00:12:20.740><c> are</c><00:12:20.799><c> the</c><00:12:21.000><c> earth.</c>

00:12:21.539 --> 00:12:24.480
So<00:12:21.799><c> you</c><00:12:22.000><c> don't</c><00:12:22.259><c> come</c><00:12:22.539><c> at</c><00:12:22.759><c> this</c><00:12:22.960><c> from</c><00:12:23.159><c> a</c><00:12:23.340><c> perspective</c><00:12:23.759><c> of</c><00:12:24.059><c> humanism.</c>

00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:25.980
It's<00:12:25.080><c> not</c><00:12:25.240><c> going</c><00:12:25.399><c> to</c><00:12:25.559><c> help</c><00:12:25.700><c> us.</c>

00:12:26.299 --> 00:12:29.120
You<00:12:26.399><c> don't</c><00:12:26.620><c> argue</c><00:12:26.899><c> from</c><00:12:27.059><c> the</c><00:12:27.279><c> case</c><00:12:27.480><c> of</c><00:12:27.659><c> what</c><00:12:27.860><c> as</c><00:12:28.100><c> a</c><00:12:28.340><c> human,</c><00:12:28.639><c> what</c><00:12:28.759><c> I</c>

00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:30.700
think<00:12:29.299><c> might</c><00:12:29.519><c> be</c><00:12:29.720><c> the</c><00:12:29.879><c> right</c><00:12:30.019><c> way</c><00:12:30.139><c> to</c><00:12:30.299><c> do</c><00:12:30.500><c> it.</c>

00:12:31.100 --> 00:12:33.659
Instead,<00:12:31.500><c> you</c><00:12:31.779><c> look</c><00:12:32.000><c> for</c><00:12:32.419><c> the</c><00:12:32.720><c> evidence</c><00:12:32.980><c> in</c><00:12:33.200><c> the</c><00:12:33.360><c> scriptures.</c>

00:12:33.659 --> 00:12:35.879
We<00:12:33.860><c> look</c><00:12:34.080><c> for</c><00:12:34.279><c> our</c><00:12:34.379><c> Bible</c><00:12:34.679><c> evidence,</c><00:12:35.139><c> as</c><00:12:35.279><c> a</c><00:12:35.399><c> lot</c><00:12:35.519><c> of</c><00:12:35.620><c> you</c><00:12:35.720><c> were</c>

00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:37.460
doing<00:12:36.039><c> in</c><00:12:36.240><c> that</c><00:12:36.440><c> first</c><00:12:36.720><c> discussion</c><00:12:37.159><c> group.</c>

00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.259
For<00:12:37.960><c> you</c><00:12:38.179><c> died</c><00:12:38.539><c> and</c><00:12:38.720><c> your</c><00:12:38.879><c> life</c><00:12:39.059><c> is</c><00:12:39.279><c> hid</c><00:12:39.379><c> with</c><00:12:39.559><c> Christ</c><00:12:39.860><c> and</c><00:12:40.059><c> God.</c>

00:12:40.340 --> 00:12:42.620
And<00:12:40.440><c> when</c><00:12:40.559><c> Christ</c><00:12:40.879><c> with</c><00:12:41.019><c> our</c><00:12:41.200><c> life</c><00:12:41.419><c> appears,</c><00:12:42.220><c> you'll</c><00:12:42.460><c> appear</c>

00:12:42.620 --> 00:12:43.899
with<00:12:42.779><c> him</c><00:12:42.919><c> in</c><00:12:43.139><c> glory.</c>

00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:47.340
He<00:12:44.440><c> then</c><00:12:44.600><c> goes</c><00:12:44.779><c> on</c><00:12:44.960><c> to</c><00:12:45.159><c> say,</c><00:12:45.600><c> whoops,</c><00:12:46.179><c> next</c><00:12:46.279><c> one</c><00:12:46.500><c> down.</c>

00:12:47.720 --> 00:12:49.519
He's<00:12:47.980><c> jumping</c><00:12:48.220><c> on</c><00:12:48.440><c> me.</c>

00:12:49.659 --> 00:12:55.960
So<00:12:49.840><c> put</c><00:12:50.120><c> to</c><00:12:50.320><c> death,</c><00:12:50.759><c> therefore,</c><00:12:50.980><c> what's</c><00:12:51.220><c> earthly</c><00:12:51.360><c> in</c><00:12:51.559><c> you,</c><00:12:51.820><c> fornication,</c><00:12:52.500><c> impurity,</c><00:12:53.080><c> passion,</c><00:12:53.620><c> evil</c><00:12:53.799><c> desire,</c><00:12:54.419><c> covetousness,</c><00:12:55.000><c> which</c><00:12:55.059><c> is</c><00:12:55.279><c> idolatry.</c>

00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.159
On<00:12:56.419><c> account</c><00:12:56.580><c> of</c><00:12:56.779><c> these,</c><00:12:57.080><c> the</c><00:12:57.179><c> wrath</c><00:12:57.360><c> of</c><00:12:57.519><c> God</c><00:12:57.659><c> is</c><00:12:57.919><c> coming.</c>

00:12:58.620 --> 00:13:01.200
And<00:12:58.779><c> he</c><00:12:58.960><c> admits,</c><00:12:59.220><c> look</c><00:12:59.340><c> at,</c><00:12:59.539><c> in</c><00:12:59.679><c> these</c><00:12:59.840><c> we</c><00:13:00.080><c> once</c><00:13:00.419><c> walked.</c>

00:13:01.220 --> 00:13:02.840
You<00:13:01.620><c> used</c><00:13:01.840><c> to</c><00:13:02.080><c> be</c><00:13:02.240><c> like</c><00:13:02.539><c> that.</c>

00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:04.019
When<00:13:03.240><c> you</c><00:13:03.480><c> lived</c><00:13:03.700><c> in</c><00:13:03.919><c> them.</c>

00:13:04.059 --> 00:13:08.139

00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:10.360
So<00:13:09.539><c> we</c><00:13:09.779><c> put</c><00:13:09.960><c> them</c><00:13:10.120><c> away.</c>

00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:13.340

00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:29.840
And<00:13:27.419><c> then</c><00:13:27.580><c> you</c><00:13:27.759><c> come</c><00:13:27.960><c> to</c><00:13:28.159><c> meeting</c><00:13:28.480><c> and</c><00:13:28.700><c> you</c><00:13:28.860><c> don't</c><00:13:29.039><c> act</c><00:13:29.299><c> like</c><00:13:29.559><c> that.</c>

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:31.519
Is<00:13:30.279><c> that</c><00:13:30.519><c> putting</c><00:13:30.720><c> on</c><00:13:30.960><c> a</c><00:13:31.039><c> facade?</c>

00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:34.360

really<00:13:34.620><c> aren't?</c>

00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:36.539
Well,<00:13:35.879><c> not</c><00:13:36.200><c> really.</c>

00:13:36.659 --> 00:13:40.559
If<00:13:36.860><c> the</c><00:13:37.179><c> game</c><00:13:37.460><c> plan</c><00:13:37.659><c> is</c><00:13:37.980><c> that</c><00:13:38.100><c> you</c><00:13:38.340><c> realize</c><00:13:38.700><c> when</c><00:13:39.159><c> I</c><00:13:39.379><c> lashed</c><00:13:39.659><c> out</c><00:13:39.980><c> that</c><00:13:40.179><c> that</c><00:13:40.360><c> was</c><00:13:40.480><c> a</c>

mistake,<00:13:40.879><c> I</c><00:13:41.000><c> don't</c><00:13:41.139><c> want</c><00:13:41.259><c> to</c><00:13:41.379><c> be</c><00:13:41.460><c> like</c><00:13:41.759><c> that.</c>

00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:46.039
Hopefully<00:13:42.960><c> then</c><00:13:43.299><c> when</c><00:13:43.419><c> we</c><00:13:43.580><c> come</c><00:13:43.740><c> together</c><00:13:44.100><c> as</c><00:13:44.320><c> a</c><00:13:44.600><c> group,</c><00:13:45.299><c> we're</c><00:13:45.440><c> learning</c><00:13:45.779><c> to</c>

00:13:47.179 --> 00:13:49.480
And<00:13:47.379><c> hopefully</c><00:13:47.620><c> our</c><00:13:47.899><c> behavior</c><00:13:48.240><c> at</c><00:13:48.500><c> home</c><00:13:48.679><c> is</c><00:13:48.919><c> getting</c><00:13:49.120><c> better</c>

00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:50.019
as<00:13:49.799><c> well.</c>

00:13:50.399 --> 00:13:53.519
Because<00:13:50.879><c> the</c><00:13:51.159><c> new</c><00:13:51.360><c> man</c><00:13:51.679><c> that</c><00:13:52.000><c> Paul</c><00:13:52.259><c> calls</c><00:13:52.600><c> it</c><00:13:52.860><c> isn't</c><00:13:53.179><c> going</c><00:13:53.399><c> to</c>

act<00:13:53.720><c> like</c><00:13:54.000><c> that.</c>

00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:56.500
It's<00:13:54.440><c> being</c><00:13:54.679><c> renewed</c><00:13:55.019><c> in</c><00:13:55.279><c> knowledge</c><00:13:55.580><c> after</c><00:13:55.899><c> the</c><00:13:56.179><c> image</c><00:13:56.340><c> of</c>

00:13:56.500 --> 00:13:57.539
its<00:13:56.679><c> creator.</c>

00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:00.519
And<00:13:57.740><c> in</c><00:13:58.080><c> this</c><00:13:58.279><c> case</c><00:13:58.480><c> here,</c><00:13:58.679><c> it's</c><00:13:58.899><c> going</c><00:13:58.980><c> to</c><00:13:59.100><c> really</c><00:13:59.340><c> change</c><00:13:59.720><c> the</c><00:13:59.899><c> way</c><00:14:00.000><c> that</c><00:14:00.159><c> we</c><00:14:00.340><c> live.</c>

00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:01.559
That's<00:14:01.179><c> the</c><00:14:01.340><c> hope.</c>

00:14:01.620 --> 00:14:04.659
So<00:14:01.740><c> we</c><00:14:01.919><c> put</c><00:14:02.139><c> on</c><00:14:02.419><c> then</c><00:14:02.740><c> as</c><00:14:03.120><c> chosen</c><00:14:03.419><c> ones,</c><00:14:03.919><c> holy</c><00:14:04.159><c> and</c><00:14:04.460><c> beloved,</c>

and<00:14:07.820><c> patience.</c>

00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:12.360
Now,<00:14:08.740><c> those</c><00:14:08.820><c> are</c><00:14:09.039><c> all</c><00:14:09.220><c> things</c><00:14:09.419><c> that</c><00:14:09.559><c> we</c><00:14:09.779><c> talked</c><00:14:09.960><c> about</c><00:14:10.240><c> in</c><00:14:10.460><c> that</c><00:14:10.700><c> first</c><00:14:10.980><c> session</c><00:14:11.320><c> about</c><00:14:11.679><c> what</c><00:14:12.139><c> we</c>

00:14:16.340 --> 00:14:18.960

00:14:58.039 --> 00:15:00.360
And<00:14:58.220><c> our</c><00:14:58.419><c> spouse</c><00:14:58.639><c> is</c><00:14:58.899><c> probably</c><00:14:59.259><c> one</c><00:14:59.460><c> of</c><00:14:59.559><c> the</c><00:14:59.779><c> greatest</c><00:15:00.000><c> places</c>

00:15:00.360 --> 00:15:03.659
to<00:15:00.620><c> practice</c><00:15:01.000><c> because</c><00:15:01.659><c> we</c><00:15:02.000><c> interact</c><00:15:02.299><c> so</c><00:15:02.600><c> often</c><00:15:02.799><c> with</c><00:15:03.000><c> our</c><00:15:03.220><c> spouse</c><00:15:03.500><c> and</c>

00:15:03.659 --> 00:15:05.600
we<00:15:03.940><c> both</c><00:15:04.200><c> make</c><00:15:04.519><c> so</c><00:15:04.840><c> many</c><00:15:05.039><c> mistakes.</c>

00:15:05.899 --> 00:15:08.960
We<00:15:06.159><c> can</c><00:15:06.419><c> catch</c><00:15:06.639><c> each</c><00:15:06.840><c> other</c><00:15:07.059><c> up</c><00:15:07.240><c> on</c><00:15:07.399><c> our</c><00:15:07.580><c> mistakes</c><00:15:07.940><c> very</c><00:15:08.299><c> easily</c><00:15:08.659><c> and</c>

00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:11.100
remember<00:15:09.320><c> them</c><00:15:09.580><c> and</c><00:15:09.879><c> bring</c><00:15:10.200><c> them</c><00:15:10.360><c> to</c><00:15:10.539><c> the</c><00:15:10.720><c> surface.</c>

00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:14.179
And<00:15:11.740><c> this</c><00:15:12.019><c> is</c><00:15:12.240><c> our</c><00:15:12.500><c> opportunity</c><00:15:12.980><c> to</c><00:15:13.340><c> practice.</c>

00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:18.360
So<00:15:14.539><c> husbands,</c><00:15:14.919><c> he</c><00:15:15.240><c> says,</c><00:15:15.740><c> love</c><00:15:16.000><c> your</c><00:15:16.220><c> wives,</c><00:15:16.899><c> do</c><00:15:17.179><c> not</c><00:15:17.440><c> be</c><00:15:17.740><c> harsh</c><00:15:17.919><c> with</c><00:15:18.159><c> them.</c>

00:15:18.659 --> 00:15:21.159
And<00:15:18.840><c> when</c><00:15:18.960><c> you</c><00:15:19.240><c> see</c><00:15:19.419><c> those</c><00:15:19.720><c> statements</c><00:15:20.100><c> in</c><00:15:20.320><c> the</c><00:15:20.440><c> Bible,</c><00:15:20.960><c> those</c>

00:15:21.159 --> 00:15:24.059
are<00:15:21.659><c> those</c><00:15:22.080><c> are</c><00:15:22.399><c> words</c><00:15:22.580><c> that</c><00:15:22.759><c> were</c><00:15:23.000><c> chosen</c><00:15:23.379><c> by</c><00:15:23.639><c> Paul.</c>

00:15:24.059 --> 00:15:27.580
Because<00:15:24.639><c> that's</c><00:15:25.539><c> the</c><00:15:25.639><c> natural</c><00:15:26.159><c> tendency</c><00:15:26.720><c> is</c><00:15:27.080><c> to</c><00:15:27.220><c> be</c><00:15:27.419><c> harsh</c>

00:15:27.580 --> 00:15:28.700
with<00:15:27.799><c> your</c><00:15:27.960><c> wife.</c>

00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:31.100
It's<00:15:29.200><c> the</c><00:15:29.379><c> saddest</c><00:15:29.700><c> thing</c><00:15:29.820><c> I've</c><00:15:30.100><c> watched</c><00:15:30.360><c> in</c><00:15:30.600><c> my</c><00:15:30.899><c> life.</c>

00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:31.899
I<00:15:31.240><c> can't</c><00:15:31.539><c> believe</c><00:15:31.740><c> it.</c>

00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:34.440
But<00:15:32.000><c> you</c><00:15:32.200><c> think,</c><00:15:32.759><c> how</c><00:15:32.759><c> can</c><00:15:33.019><c> how</c><00:15:33.179><c> can</c><00:15:33.379><c> we</c><00:15:33.519><c> do</c><00:15:33.700><c> this</c><00:15:33.940><c> as</c><00:15:34.139><c> guys?</c>

00:15:34.580 --> 00:15:35.500
Well,<00:15:34.659><c> we</c><00:15:34.799><c> take</c><00:15:35.000><c> on</c><00:15:35.179><c> a</c><00:15:35.340><c> wife.</c>

00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:36.620
We<00:15:35.779><c> love</c><00:15:36.000><c> her</c><00:15:36.179><c> so</c><00:15:36.460><c> much.</c>

00:15:36.740 --> 00:15:37.700
We<00:15:36.759><c> get</c><00:15:36.919><c> married</c><00:15:37.179><c> to</c><00:15:37.379><c> her.</c>

00:15:37.980 --> 00:15:41.100
And<00:15:38.120><c> then</c><00:15:38.379><c> as</c><00:15:38.659><c> years</c><00:15:38.860><c> go</c><00:15:39.139><c> by,</c><00:15:39.440><c> we</c><00:15:39.639><c> treat</c><00:15:39.879><c> her</c><00:15:40.200><c> worse</c><00:15:40.539><c> than</c>

00:15:41.100 --> 00:15:42.179
everybody<00:15:41.759><c> else.</c>

00:15:42.620 --> 00:15:46.659
You<00:15:42.840><c> see</c><00:15:43.120><c> this</c><00:15:43.419><c> happen</c><00:15:43.720><c> in</c><00:15:44.000><c> families</c><00:15:44.399><c> because</c><00:15:45.220><c> we</c><00:15:45.480><c> almost</c><00:15:45.799><c> think</c><00:15:45.980><c> like,</c><00:15:46.340><c> well,</c><00:15:46.480><c> she</c>

00:15:46.659 --> 00:15:49.940
can't<00:15:46.860><c> do</c><00:15:47.039><c> anything</c><00:15:47.240><c> about</c><00:15:47.559><c> it</c><00:15:48.059><c> or,</c><00:15:48.480><c> you</c><00:15:48.559><c> know,</c><00:15:48.840><c> she's</c><00:15:49.539><c> not</c><00:15:49.679><c> going</c><00:15:49.820><c> to</c>

00:15:49.940 --> 00:15:50.580
walk<00:15:50.059><c> away.</c>

00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:52.240
And<00:15:50.860><c> it's</c><00:15:51.019><c> almost</c><00:15:51.240><c> like</c><00:15:51.519><c> they're</c><00:15:51.940><c> trapped.</c>

00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:56.840
And<00:15:52.740><c> so</c><00:15:53.159><c> often</c><00:15:53.620><c> we</c><00:15:53.879><c> treat</c><00:15:54.220><c> our</c><00:15:54.480><c> own</c><00:15:54.820><c> family</c><00:15:55.200><c> members</c><00:15:55.580><c> worse</c><00:15:56.139><c> than</c><00:15:56.559><c> we</c>

00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:58.019
treat<00:15:57.139><c> other</c><00:15:57.500><c> people.</c>

00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:01.139
And<00:15:58.539><c> so</c><00:15:58.779><c> Paul</c><00:15:59.039><c> warns</c><00:15:59.500><c> that</c><00:15:59.600><c> don't</c><00:16:00.039><c> be</c><00:16:00.440><c> harsh</c><00:16:00.700><c> with</c><00:16:00.980><c> them.</c>

00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:04.000
You're<00:16:01.679><c> going</c><00:16:01.779><c> to</c><00:16:01.919><c> have</c><00:16:02.059><c> a</c><00:16:02.299><c> natural</c><00:16:02.720><c> tendency</c><00:16:03.240><c> to</c><00:16:03.539><c> want</c><00:16:03.679><c> to</c><00:16:03.840><c> do</c>

00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.019
that<00:16:04.220><c> just</c><00:16:04.460><c> because</c><00:16:04.799><c> of</c><00:16:05.039><c> our</c><00:16:05.220><c> nature.</c>

00:16:06.100 --> 00:16:09.059
So<00:16:06.340><c> the</c><00:16:06.559><c> principle</c><00:16:06.960><c> does</c><00:16:07.279><c> extend</c><00:16:07.639><c> to</c><00:16:07.860><c> all</c><00:16:08.120><c> circumstances,</c><00:16:09.000><c> too.</c>

00:16:09.059 --> 00:16:11.279
You<00:16:09.179><c> can't</c><00:16:09.440><c> sit</c><00:16:09.620><c> here</c><00:16:09.820><c> and</c><00:16:09.960><c> make</c><00:16:10.240><c> excuses</c><00:16:10.580><c> for</c><00:16:10.820><c> yourself</c><00:16:11.139><c> and</c>

00:16:11.279 --> 00:16:13.379
just<00:16:11.500><c> think,</c><00:16:11.620><c> well,</c><00:16:11.779><c> what</c><00:16:11.919><c> if</c><00:16:12.019><c> our</c><00:16:12.220><c> wife</c><00:16:12.360><c> has</c><00:16:12.539><c> a</c><00:16:12.740><c> bad</c><00:16:12.899><c> attitude</c>

00:16:13.379 --> 00:16:18.879
or<00:16:13.879><c> what</c><00:16:14.139><c> if</c><00:16:14.259><c> she's</c><00:16:14.720><c> sick</c><00:16:14.960><c> a</c><00:16:15.100><c> lot</c><00:16:15.240><c> or</c><00:16:15.700><c> what</c><00:16:15.980><c> happens</c><00:16:16.259><c> if</c><00:16:16.419><c> she</c><00:16:16.659><c> has</c><00:16:16.940><c> bad</c><00:16:17.379><c> habits</c><00:16:17.840><c> and</c><00:16:18.059><c> she's</c><00:16:18.360><c> gone</c><00:16:18.580><c> to</c>

00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:20.000
addictions<00:16:19.419><c> and</c><00:16:19.720><c> things.</c>

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:22.919
This<00:16:20.940><c> this</c><00:16:21.340><c> goes</c><00:16:21.539><c> all</c><00:16:21.899><c> the</c><00:16:22.000><c> way</c><00:16:22.159><c> across</c><00:16:22.480><c> the</c><00:16:22.740><c> board.</c>

00:16:22.919 --> 00:16:25.659
We<00:16:23.240><c> have</c><00:16:23.700><c> to</c><00:16:23.960><c> try</c><00:16:24.240><c> to</c><00:16:24.539><c> save</c><00:16:24.960><c> our</c><00:16:25.279><c> spouse.</c>

00:16:26.080 --> 00:16:27.580
That's<00:16:26.519><c> what</c><00:16:26.620><c> we've</c><00:16:26.879><c> been</c><00:16:27.100><c> called</c><00:16:27.340><c> to.</c>

00:16:27.980 --> 00:16:30.759
And<00:16:28.159><c> God</c><00:16:28.340><c> was</c><00:16:28.580><c> willing</c><00:16:28.799><c> to</c><00:16:29.059><c> do</c><00:16:29.220><c> that</c><00:16:29.480><c> for</c><00:16:29.639><c> us</c><00:16:29.940><c> when</c><00:16:30.120><c> we</c><00:16:30.460><c> didn't</c>

00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:31.379
deserve<00:16:31.139><c> it.</c>

00:16:31.740 --> 00:16:34.539
So,<00:16:32.159><c> you</c><00:16:32.299><c> know,</c><00:16:32.299><c> you</c><00:16:32.500><c> look</c><00:16:32.639><c> at</c><00:16:32.840><c> all</c><00:16:33.200><c> the</c><00:16:33.399><c> different</c><00:16:33.620><c> situations</c><00:16:34.200><c> you</c><00:16:34.419><c> could</c>

00:16:34.539 --> 00:16:37.179
be<00:16:34.779><c> going</c><00:16:34.960><c> through</c><00:16:35.220><c> with</c><00:16:35.399><c> a</c><00:16:35.620><c> spouse</c><00:16:35.879><c> and</c><00:16:36.139><c> all</c><00:16:36.360><c> the</c><00:16:36.580><c> cases</c><00:16:36.960><c> that</c>

00:16:37.179 --> 00:16:37.700
you<00:16:37.320><c> could</c><00:16:37.519><c> have.</c>

00:16:37.779 --> 00:16:41.059
We<00:16:37.940><c> can't</c><00:16:38.340><c> talk</c><00:16:38.600><c> about</c><00:16:38.779><c> them</c><00:16:38.940><c> all</c><00:16:39.120><c> today,</c><00:16:39.740><c> but</c><00:16:40.120><c> we</c><00:16:40.440><c> can't</c><00:16:40.820><c> make</c>

00:16:41.059 --> 00:16:42.320
excuses<00:16:41.440><c> for</c><00:16:41.700><c> ourselves,</c><00:16:41.980><c> brother.</c>

00:16:42.519 --> 00:16:43.559
It<00:16:42.799><c> doesn't</c><00:16:43.159><c> matter.</c>

00:16:43.559 --> 00:16:47.320
God<00:16:44.080><c> has</c><00:16:44.659><c> controlled</c><00:16:45.080><c> the</c><00:16:45.340><c> family</c><00:16:45.700><c> and</c><00:16:46.220><c> he</c><00:16:46.399><c> has</c><00:16:46.720><c> brought</c><00:16:47.019><c> the</c>

00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:50.039
spouse<00:16:47.580><c> to</c><00:16:47.899><c> us</c><00:16:48.179><c> with</c><00:16:48.740><c> all</c><00:16:49.019><c> of</c><00:16:49.139><c> those</c><00:16:49.340><c> situations.</c>

and<00:22:20.440><c> why</c><00:22:20.759><c> did</c><00:22:20.880><c> he</c><00:22:21.099><c> make</c><00:22:21.359><c> only</c><00:22:21.779><c> one?</c>

00:22:22.500 --> 00:22:24.119
You<00:22:22.539><c> know,</c><00:22:22.799><c> he</c><00:22:23.180><c> made</c><00:22:23.660><c> only</c><00:22:24.019><c> one.</c>

00:22:24.119 --> 00:22:25.700
And<00:22:24.160><c> it's</c><00:22:24.299><c> almost</c><00:22:24.559><c> like</c><00:22:25.019><c> if</c><00:22:25.140><c> they're</c><00:22:25.380><c> right,</c>

00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:28.700
which<00:22:26.180><c> I've</c><00:22:26.500><c> never</c><00:22:26.720><c> been</c><00:22:26.920><c> able</c><00:22:27.140><c> to</c><00:22:27.680><c> figure</c><00:22:27.940><c> out</c><00:22:28.119><c> from</c><00:22:28.279><c> the</c><00:22:28.480><c> Hebrew</c>

00:22:28.700 --> 00:22:31.519
and<00:22:29.319><c> none</c><00:22:29.539><c> of</c><00:22:29.700><c> the</c><00:22:29.759><c> other</c><00:22:30.019><c> translations</c><00:22:30.500><c> take</c><00:22:30.799><c> that</c><00:22:31.039><c> perspective,</c>

00:22:31.579 --> 00:22:34.299
but<00:22:31.740><c> it's</c><00:22:31.940><c> an</c><00:22:32.160><c> interesting</c><00:22:32.500><c> one</c><00:22:32.759><c> that</c><00:22:32.960><c> they</c><00:22:33.200><c> might</c><00:22:33.420><c> argue</c><00:22:33.700><c> the</c><00:22:33.960><c> case</c>

00:22:34.299 --> 00:22:36.559
that<00:22:34.859><c> when</c><00:22:35.180><c> the</c><00:22:35.559><c> angels</c><00:22:35.720><c> were</c><00:22:35.940><c> looking</c><00:22:36.140><c> at</c><00:22:36.440><c> Adam</c>

00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:38.700
and<00:22:36.660><c> they</c><00:22:36.880><c> realized</c><00:22:37.180><c> it</c><00:22:37.299><c> wasn't</c><00:22:37.519><c> good</c><00:22:37.720><c> for</c><00:22:37.900><c> Adam</c><00:22:38.079><c> to</c><00:22:38.220><c> be</c><00:22:38.380><c> alone,</c>

00:22:39.059 --> 00:22:40.660
the<00:22:39.339><c> angels</c><00:22:39.599><c> looked</c><00:22:39.880><c> at</c><00:22:40.079><c> Adam</c><00:22:40.259><c> and</c><00:22:40.500><c> said,</c>

00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:43.460
all<00:22:40.940><c> right,</c><00:22:41.220><c> we'll</c><00:22:41.400><c> make</c><00:22:41.599><c> a</c><00:22:42.079><c> helper</c><00:22:42.420><c> suitable</c><00:22:42.980><c> for</c><00:22:43.220><c> him.</c>

00:22:43.799 --> 00:22:46.819
They<00:22:43.940><c> didn't</c><00:22:44.140><c> make</c><00:22:44.359><c> Adam</c><00:22:44.640><c> two</c><00:22:44.940><c> wives,</c><00:22:45.420><c> three</c><00:22:45.720><c> wives,</c><00:22:46.160><c> four</c><00:22:46.380><c> wives.</c>

00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:49.380
And<00:22:47.519><c> the</c><00:22:47.660><c> way</c><00:22:47.799><c> it's</c><00:22:48.039><c> worded</c><00:22:48.240><c> in</c><00:22:48.359><c> the</c><00:22:48.480><c> King</c><00:22:48.700><c> James,</c><00:22:49.160><c> it</c><00:22:49.160><c> says,</c>

00:22:49.759 --> 00:22:51.940
and<00:22:50.059><c> was</c><00:22:50.240><c> it</c><00:22:50.400><c> like</c><00:22:50.559><c> there</c><00:22:50.779><c> wasn't</c><00:22:51.160><c> enough</c><00:22:51.380><c> spirit</c><00:22:51.700><c> left?</c>

00:22:51.940 --> 00:22:53.519
Was<00:22:52.140><c> there</c><00:22:52.299><c> no</c><00:22:52.539><c> residue</c><00:22:52.920><c> of</c><00:22:53.119><c> the</c><00:22:53.319><c> spirit?</c>

00:22:53.980 --> 00:22:55.900
Were<00:22:54.160><c> the</c><00:22:54.400><c> angels</c><00:22:54.599><c> out</c><00:22:54.839><c> of</c><00:22:54.920><c> power</c><00:22:55.299><c> at</c><00:22:55.480><c> that</c><00:22:55.720><c> point</c>

00:22:55.900 --> 00:22:57.140
and<00:22:56.019><c> they</c><00:22:56.140><c> couldn't</c><00:22:56.339><c> make</c><00:22:56.539><c> another</c><00:22:56.839><c> woman?</c>

00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:01.440
No,<00:22:58.160><c> they</c><00:22:58.319><c> only</c><00:22:58.759><c> made</c><00:22:59.099><c> one</c><00:22:59.500><c> because</c><00:22:59.900><c> what</c><00:23:00.259><c> God</c><00:23:00.619><c> wanted</c><00:23:01.059><c> was</c>

00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:02.799
godly<00:23:01.859><c> children.</c>

00:23:02.819 --> 00:23:05.880
And<00:23:02.819><c> he</c><00:23:03.259><c> designed</c><00:23:03.819><c> the</c><00:23:04.140><c> family</c><00:23:04.440><c> with</c><00:23:04.660><c> a</c><00:23:04.880><c> mom</c><00:23:05.079><c> and</c><00:23:05.220><c> a</c><00:23:05.440><c> dad</c>

00:23:05.880 --> 00:23:08.819
so<00:23:06.359><c> that</c><00:23:06.599><c> those</c><00:23:06.920><c> two</c><00:23:07.180><c> components</c><00:23:07.759><c> would</c><00:23:08.019><c> teach</c><00:23:08.259><c> our</c><00:23:08.519><c> children</c>

00:23:08.819 --> 00:23:13.259
all<00:23:09.240><c> about</c><00:23:09.799><c> God</c><00:23:10.240><c> and</c><00:23:10.480><c> Jesus</c><00:23:10.799><c> Christ</c><00:23:11.220><c> and</c><00:23:11.740><c> about</c><00:23:12.059><c> our</c><00:23:12.339><c> relationship</c><00:23:12.880><c> to</c><00:23:13.119><c> them.</c>

00:23:13.299 --> 00:23:15.480
That's<00:23:13.619><c> what</c><00:23:13.799><c> the</c><00:23:14.019><c> kids</c><00:23:14.160><c> are</c><00:23:14.299><c> supposed</c><00:23:14.640><c> to</c><00:23:14.779><c> see</c><00:23:14.900><c> in</c><00:23:15.039><c> the</c><00:23:15.160><c> marriage.</c>

00:23:15.779 --> 00:23:18.920
And<00:23:15.940><c> his</c><00:23:16.140><c> goal</c><00:23:16.480><c> was</c><00:23:16.700><c> that</c><00:23:16.839><c> he</c><00:23:16.980><c> was</c><00:23:17.160><c> looking</c><00:23:17.420><c> for</c><00:23:17.700><c> godly</c><00:23:18.059><c> children.</c>

00:23:19.059 --> 00:23:21.440
So<00:23:19.220><c> sometimes</c><00:23:19.759><c> we</c><00:23:19.880><c> don't</c><00:23:20.059><c> think</c><00:23:20.259><c> about</c><00:23:20.539><c> that</c><00:23:20.779><c> as</c><00:23:21.079><c> parents,</c>

00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:24.599
but<00:23:21.759><c> our</c><00:23:22.119><c> kids</c><00:23:22.359><c> are</c><00:23:22.740><c> watching</c><00:23:23.119><c> and</c><00:23:23.579><c> this</c><00:23:23.779><c> is</c><00:23:23.980><c> one</c><00:23:24.119><c> of</c><00:23:24.279><c> the</c><00:23:24.339><c> ways</c>

00:23:24.599 --> 00:23:27.940
that<00:23:24.859><c> God</c><00:23:25.019><c> is</c><00:23:25.240><c> going</c><00:23:25.380><c> to</c><00:23:25.579><c> teach</c><00:23:25.779><c> our</c><00:23:26.099><c> kids</c><00:23:26.380><c> and</c><00:23:26.640><c> work</c><00:23:26.799><c> in</c><00:23:26.940><c> our</c><00:23:27.099><c> families.</c>

00:23:28.279 --> 00:23:30.819
So<00:23:28.599><c> now</c><00:23:28.880><c> it's</c><00:23:29.119><c> time</c><00:23:29.259><c> to</c><00:23:29.480><c> find</c><00:23:29.619><c> out</c><00:23:29.900><c> what</c><00:23:30.099><c> you</c><00:23:30.279><c> guys</c><00:23:30.420><c> are</c><00:23:30.599><c> thinking</c>

00:23:30.819 --> 00:23:33.740
and<00:23:31.640><c> we'll</c><00:23:32.140><c> have</c><00:23:32.279><c> plenty</c><00:23:32.539><c> of</c><00:23:32.720><c> time</c><00:23:32.839><c> to</c><00:23:33.099><c> discuss</c><00:23:33.339><c> hopefully</c>

00:23:33.740 --> 00:23:35.220
this<00:23:34.200><c> second</c><00:23:34.500><c> round.</c>
